Finding Ilfeen in OSRS before the Song of the Elves (SOTE) quest is essential for players needing crystal equipment services.
I will explain her exact locations in the Isafdar forest and her valuable services.
For players needing funds to recharge their crystal equipment, you can buy OSRS gold to cover the enchantment costs.
Where is Ilfeen before SOTE in OSRS?
Ilfeen moves between two specific locations in the northern area of Isafdar forest. You can find her either in the clearing south of the Roving Elves quest starting point or south of the Elf Camp, slightly northeast of the leaf trap.
Ilfeen provides essential services for crystal equipment. She enchants crystal seeds into bows, shields, halberds, or saws.
The initial enchantment cost starts high but decreases by 180,000 coins for bows and 150,000 coins for shields and halberds with each recharge. This reduction continues until reaching a minimum price.
She also offers partial recharges for degraded crystal equipment after your first full enchantment.
For example, she can restore a Crystal bow at 9/10 charge to full condition for 18,000 coins once you reach the minimum recharge cost.
However, partial recharges do not count toward reducing future enchantment costs. Players must wait for crystal equipment to fully deplete into a seed before Ilfeen can perform a recharge.
The initial equipment from the Roving Elves quest must completely revert to a seed before she offers her services.
