The Weird Old Man is a man gone insane found outside of the Kalphite Lair. His origins are unknown, but he found the kalphites and warns adventurers of the dangers he encountered.
If the player has already gone into the Kalphite hive, he will simply say, "No thanks, I don't want any" when spoken to.
With the release of the Desert achievements, after a player has completed all achievements in this area, they can collect 20, 30, or 40 noted potato cacti once per day (20 with Desert amulet 2, 30 for Desert amulet 3, and 40 with Desert amulet 4).
(Worth 34,940, 52,410 or 69,880)
The fastest way to get to the Weird Old Man is to use the fairy ring network, dial BIQ, and then walk north-west.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- His words "The horror! The horror!" are a reference to Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.
- When asking the natural historian in the Varrock Museum about kalphites, it is heavily implied that the weird old man's name is Iqbar Ali-Abdula.
