Baba Yaga is a member of the Moon Clan in Lunar Isle who lives in a house that walks about upon chicken legs. The house is named Berty. She is admittedly insane and runs Baba Yaga's Magic Shop, which sells runes, battlestaves, and Moonclan manuals.
Baba Yaga can teach a player the Ourania Teleport spell after they have completed the Lunar Diplomacy quest. She will recount a tale, then whisper the spell to the player. Players need to have Lunar spells activated to be able to coax Baba Yaga into teaching them the spell. If spoken to without a Seal of Passage the player will be teleported away to Rellekka.
After the mini quest Swept Away, she may be talked with to enchant the broomstick, and players will receive 10,338 Magic experience if they have a Magic level of 73 or above.
[edit] Glorious Memories
During the quest, when players show Brundt the Chieftain the unfinished astral rune, Brundt will remember more to the day they hunted the Gnoeals. He will recall Baba Yaga being present and offering her assistance, in which the party accepts. It is also revealed how the group got to the Fishing Guild from the creatures cave.
After the quest players may bring her the unfinished astral rune to receive a further reward.
[edit] Trivia
- Her name (as well as her chicken-legged house) comes from Slavic folklore.
- The name of her house is a rather fitting homophone.
- During a cutscene in the Glorious Memories quest, she uses the Tele Group Fishing Guild spell of the Lunar spells. This indicates that her magic level is at least (and probably well above) 86.
- In one of the installments of Postbag from the Hedge, Jagex attached a model of Baba Yaga's house, which readers could print and self make.
- She also gives 2,500 experience in a skill when a player brings her her unique "Unfinished astral rune" from the quest Glorious Memories.
