- Players must complete the Cabin Fever quest to gain access to the grotto.
Mos Le'Harmless is the quaint pirate base that players may visit when they finish the Cabin Fever quest. The isle has a few attractions such as the Trouble Brewing minigame and the Cave Horrors cave. It's on the easternmost point of the RuneScape map.
Getting there
Mos Le'Harmless is best traveled to by talking to Bill Teach aboard the eastern most boat at Port Phasmatys docks. Alternatively, a Charter ship may be used from any port with Trader crew members. This may only be attempted after starting the "Cabin Fever" quest. Bill Teach will not appear on the docks of Port Phasmatys until the quest is started and the option to travel to Mos Le'Harmless from charter ships will not be available.
You may also teleport there using the fairy ring code DIP, after completing Fairy Tale III (see below). You need to repair the bridges with 8 planks, 16 nails and a hammer for the first time or else you can't get on the island. One bridge must be repaired while standing on the island, the other bridge MUST be repaired when standing on the isle.
Notable Features
- Trouble Brewing - A competitive minigame in which two teams brew 'rum'.
- Mos Le'Harmless Caves - These caves are full of Cave Horrors, which are a Slayer target. A light source is required!
- Dodgy Mike's Second-hand Clothing - Sells pirate boots, pirate bandannas, stripy pirate shirts and Pirate leggings.
- The jungle outside the gates- Contains Jungle Horrors and Snakes that are stronger than the common poisonous variety and that always drop a snake hide.
- Charter Ship - Transports the player to various docks and ports around Runescape for a fee.
- Patchy - Sews together various items of clothing, such as a pirate hat and an eyepatch, for a fee of 500gp. (Eyepatches are not sold in the clothes shop, but they can be bought from the charter ship's general store.)
- Smith - In addition to his scimitar shop, he sells lucky cutlasses, Harry's cutlasses, and rapiers, as well as repairing the Barrelchest Anchor if you need a new one.
- Small obelisk - Used for recharging summoning points. Found at the entrance to the cave.
- There are two small islands just to the north-east of the main island, accessible from the Mos Le'Harmless Caves. There is seaweed, edible seaweed, a teak tree and a Mahogany tree. (that goes for both of the small islands)
- Two Feet Charley owns a fish shop that sells a variety of fish such as lobsters and swordfish.
- Mos Le'Harmless has two bars where one can buy beer, Braindeath 'Rum', and stew.
- West of the entrance to the Mos Le'Harmless Caves there is a black slab with a carving of a black mask on it. If anything besides a chisel is used on the slab the player receives the message "Something sinister happens a long way off. But, for all intents and purposes, nothing interesting happens." A chisel can be used on the slab to get rock fragments, which can be used to feed an Ex-ex-parrot
- During Fairytale III - Battle at Orks Rift, a player will gain access to K'Chunk's island just south of Mos Le'Harmless' south coast, but the bridges to the main island are broken. After the quest, the player can repair the bridges. This requires 8 regular Planks, 16 Nails of any type, and a Hammer. Use fairy ring DIP to go to the islands, go to the first bridge, and use a plank on the broken part of the bridge. It is repaired, using four planks and eight nails. The other bridge must be repaired from the Mos Le'Harmless side. Go to Mos Le'Harmless, go to the second bridge and then use a plank on the broken part of the bridge. The second bridge will be repaired, using up four planks and eight nails. Fairy ring DIP and the bridges are convenient access to the town on Mos Le'Harmless, and they are also convenient to get to the Mos Le'Harmless Caves and somewhat useful to get to Trouble Brewing.

Trivia
- The name "Mos Le'Harmless" alludes to the Hitchhiker's Guide series by Douglas Adams, in which the Hitchhiker's Guide's entry on Earth is simply "Mostly harmless".
- Mos Le'Harmless is featured as an Arcanists arena.
- The song "Little Cave of Horrors" is a play on the Broadway show "Little Shop of Horrors".
- The patch notes update on 4 August 2010 completely nerfed the rarity of high level impling spawns on Mos Le'Harmless. Previously, the island was a popular place for impling hunters because of the respawn points that commonly produced implings ranging from nature to kingly.
- Many of the pirates, mainly who have had some physical injury, always seem to bring up an albatross into their tales. This may be a reference to the poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Because of the poem, albatross are considered a bad omen. In the poem, those who harm the albatross are cursed.
- The only accessable part of Mos Le'Harmless used to be the town, which was surrounded in Unknown, but after an Update the entire sea around it, the Jungle, Harmony and the Trouble Brewing minigame became accessable.
