So I've all but finished ports, working on my last few building upgrades and what not, and well nowadays I get ancient bone missions a whole lot less.
I was wondering if someone could instruct me on how to farm ancient bones at ports.
I tried to look through kags guide but there's so much everywhere that it's kind of hard to find anything about it.
If I could get definite instrucitons on how to do this it would be amazing!
I also tried google and none of the answers were valid or pertained to different things or yeah they just didn't work. Thank you
I am Roxas

Straight from the RS wiki article on Ancient bones:
https://runescape.wiki/w/Ancient_bones
_______________________________________

Ancient bones are used in the creation of scrimshaws at a Scrimshaw Crafter, as well as Death Lotus darts and their off-hand counterparts at the workbench. It is a reward from completing the Biologist and Missionary storylines, as well as a reward from their specific voyages, and some standard voyages.

If one wishes to 'farm' Ancient bones, it is recommended to build one/two Biologist and one/two Missionary statues, and use their standalone voyages. There is no joint voyage for Ancient bones, unlike other trade goods.

_______________________________________

I assume that "statues" actually refer to "icons", where the Mammoth head and Saradominist symbol icons will attract the Biologist and Missionary adventurers, respectively.

Another way would be to also build 4 Jade Statue totems (requiring a total of 12000 jade and 8000 cherrywood), for a 10% chance of receiving trade good voyages. It doesn't guarantee the reward will be ancient bones though, but it's better than nothing, as normal voyages and adventurer's voyages don't affect each other.
