Abidor Crank is a man that players can encounter during the Temple Trekking minigame. The event he appears in is a friendly event in which he is the only character. Abidor Crank will turn all rotten food in the backpack into stews when the player talks to him. He also boosts the player's Defence level by a certain amount and maximum life points by 20%, regardless of what level they are at and fully heals the Trekking companion. These boosts will slowly fade back to normal after a number of minutes dependent on skill levels.

Additionally, if a player manages to enter Morytania without either completing the Priest in Peril quest, or killing the ghoul beneath Paterdomus, he may appear and teleport them out, claiming they'll never survive in Morytania. There is a chance that a vampyre will appear and knock out the player instead.

Defence boost

Defence boost is calculated with: $⌊ Defence level \times \frac{1}{10} ⌋ + 3$

Level	Boost	Level	Boost
1-9	+3	50-59	+8
10-19	+4	60-69	+9
20-29	+5	70-79	+10
30-39	+6	80-89	+11
40-49	+7	90-99	+12
