Oo'glog is an Ogress City that plays an important part in the As a First Resort... quest. The bank and shops are not available until starting the quest, and the spas, which are the main attraction of the city, are a reward after completing the quest.
Oo'glog is somewhat related to outback Australia, which is the real habitat of eucalyptus trees and features a large red rock.
Oo'glog lies just south of the Feldip Hunter area, a popular destination for hunters and explorers alike. Reaching the city on foot is generally not an easy matter; the most common travel hub near Oo'glog is Yanille, which lies beyond the ogre capital of Gu'tanoth, the dangerous Feldip Hills, and the jungle itself. The sea borders the eastern edge of Oo'glog and the jungle to the west, while the area to the south is, as of yet, inaccessible.
Fortunately, more experienced players may utilise a number of methods to speed up travel to the area. Those that have reached a certain point in A Fairy Tale Part II may use the fairy ring coordinates AKS to reach the southernmost area of the Feldip Hills. A Gnome glider may also be used by those that have completed One Small Favour to reach the rim of the jungle.
The Ogre Boat Ride can also be used upon reaching a certain point in Recipe for Disaster, and the Eagle transport system can be used to reach the jungle hunter area. Players with 29 Agility may also use the shortcut above the Mud bath to avoid the various aggressive creatures near the west entrance.
Many players consider the most convenient method to be via Charter Ship. Players that have completed As a First Resort... can use the ships, which can be found at most ports, to reach the eastern side of the city very quickly. Possibly the fastest method is to use the Port Sarim lodestone, which is the closest teleport to a charter ship. Another fast method if a player has completed the Ghosts Ahoy quest is to use the Ectophial to teleport to the Port Phasmatys area and charter a ship from there.
The charter trip can be somewhat expensive, costing up to 5,000 coins depending upon the port of departure. (From Port Phasmatys, the cost is 2,800 coins.) The price can be halved twice if the player has done the Cabin Fever quest and is wearing a Ring of charos. (From Port Phasmatys, the cost can be lowered by these methods to only 700 coins.)
There are several spas or baths in Oo'glog. From west to east, these are:

Message
Bandos pool
Strange, copper-infused waters.
You feel the favour of Bandos wash over you.
The Bandos pool will mark players as followers of Bandos and none of his followers will attack them in God Wars Dungeon. The effect lasts for one hour. See also: God wars dungeon.
Sulphur spring
Smells like rotten eggs.
You feel serene after your rest. Your Prayer points have been restored.
The sulphur spring temporarily boosts Prayer by about 10% of a player's level as it restores Prayer points. This was the highest Prayer bonus given by any altar in RuneScape, but was replaced in December 2009 by the Senntisten Altar.
Salt-water spring
Bubbling water and salt of the earth.
You feel energised and hastened after your relaxing soak.
The salt-water spring allows for unlimited run energy by restoring run energy to 100% every second or so for a limited amount of time. Players get an in-game message that the effect has worn off. It will last approximately 10 to 25 minutes, possibly depending on the player's agility level. This bath is quite useful for any extended run errands such as doing Treasure Trails, Farming runs, Runecrafting, All Fired Up, Blast Furnace, Penguin/Star hunting as well as several quests. The effects of this spring are still active after death.
Thermal bath
Ever been in hot water before?
You feel restored and invigorated
The thermal bath cures and gives temporary protection from the effects of poison, disease, life point loss, and boosts players' life points above their maximum, by around 15-20%. This is similar to the Elidinis statuette in Nardah; the effect wears off 1 life point at a time.
Mud bath
Mud, mud, glorious mud.
After a bath in such luxuriant mud, you feel your Hunter skills are extra keen.
The mud bath boosts players' Hunter level by 10% rounded down (making +4 the minimum for players with the minimum hunter level), making them more likely to catch hunter creatures. This boost will not stack with the boost from drinking a Hunter potion. The bath also temporarily removes the players' scent whilst hunting, therefore not needing to remove their scent from traps by using a lit torch.
Temporary effects wear off over the course of a few minutes, but these often last long enough to give the player significant advantages for a while. The life point boost degrades at a rate of 10 points per minute, and players may use the spas even if they have familiars summoned. When the player enters the spa, the familiar goes to the spiritual plane but returns immediately when the player leaves the spa.
There is a bank in the central area of the city. The bank is not popular for trading and bank sales due to the mobilising armies bank, as it doesn't need As a first resort done although many players may still store items gained from Hunting due to the nearby hunting grounds, therefore making it an alternative to banks at Yanille or Castle Wars. The bank is usable just after starting the As a First Resort... quest.
Balnea and 2 Ogress bankers are found in the bank. See Balnea's article for dialogue before the quest is started.
Shops
There are three shops in Oo'glog. The shops are usable just after completing the As a First Resort... quest.
This shop is widely known to sell raw bird meat which is necessary to produce a Spirit Terrorbird pouch.
Salon
There is a salon where players may speak to Kringk for an ogre wig which costs 50 coins, or get a "facial" from Muggh (actually a lump of mud applied to your face that occupies the helmet slot).
The facial looks like a large hand print over your face, and crumbles away when removed.
The Salon's Exquisite hairdressing machines
Woodcutting facilities
There are eucalyptus and achey trees to the west of the city. Travel north of the west entrance of the city to reach the area. This area is the only area so far in RuneScape to have eucalyptus trees.
Potion flasks
A Potion flask is a container that can hold 6 doses of a potion, 2 more than a vial. These are made from robust glass, which can only be made in Oo'glog after As a First Resort.... Robust glass is made from red sandstone which is mined just north of Oo'glog. To mine red sandstone, you must have level 81 Mining. Only 50 red sandstones can be mined per day. More red sandstone can be obtain by mining the shooting star and talking to the star sprite.
Hunter facilities
Near the west entrance of the city these creatures can be hunted:
Though in the real world there is no universally accepted plural for platypus, in RuneScape they are called platypodes.
You may hear Kharidian music themes, even though you are not in the desert.
Oo'glog was featured in the 2009 April Fools event where a person had to kick a cabbage from the farm near Draynor Village to Oo'glog, to be greeted by the mighty Brassica Prime.
When using unlock hint for the music track 'Bish Bash Bosh', it says "This music was unlocked during As a First Resort... even though some players might have gone to the forests west of Oo'glog and not started As a First Resort...File:Water walk.pngA player walking on water.
The Bandos pool lasts quite awhile, and it is known to last so long that people will be halfway through their bandos trip before they see it wear off in the chat box. A key element on a Bandos trip if you have access to this pool but are not bringing a bandos item.
The Spas in Oo'glog sometimes glitch, allowing players to walk on water.
Due to an update on 9 November2009, steam from the pools in Oo'glog shouldn't make players slightly transparent any more.
Prior to an update in 2009, familiars were not allowed in the spas, and the city's inhabitants would prevent a player from entering a spa while a familiar was present.
Some players have experienced the zoom which occurs when entering a pool not disappearing after leaving it. This was especially prevalent after the introduction of the zoom tool in the graphic options. The only cure was to log out and back in. However, after a recent update, many zoom issues like this were fixed.
