'''Ned''' is a Taskmaster and retired sailor who lives in [[Draynor Village]]. He is located south of the quest start for the [[Vampyre Slayer]] quest (in the building north of the bank), in [[Draynor Village]].

He will make a [[rope]] for you for 15 [[coins]], or if you bring him 4 [[Ball of wool|balls of wool]]. It is revealed during [[The Fremennik Isles]] quest that Ned does not make his ropes from wool but trades it to a wool merchant in exchange for rope. It is revealed by talking to [[Jofridr Mordstatter]] that she is the person he gets his rope from, which is made of yak hair. He is willing to give you a "free sample" after the Fremennik Isles to bribe you into keeping his secret.

Ned is featured in the [[Dragon Slayer]] [[quest]], sailing the player to the [[Crandor Isle]] to slay [[Elvarg]]. Ned, along with the player, will be stranded as the player's ship is shipwrecked while landing on Crandor island. The cabin boy dies before the Lady Lumbridge crashes by the hands of Elvarg. Interestingly, Ned makes his way back to Draynor Village as soon as the player finishes the quest but when the player revisits the shipwreck area, Ned is found to be stranded again.

==Quests==
Ned features heavily in the [[Dragon Slayer]] quest, because he is the only NPC who is willing to sail a player to [[Crandor]]. While doing the quest, players may speak to Ned about [[Crandor]]. He will tell you that he is willing to sail you there if you can find the right items. These are...

*A Map
*A seaworthy boat (the [[Lady Lumbridge]])

Ned was also required during the [[Prince Ali Rescue]] quest; players had to approach him for help in crafting a wig.

Ned gives you the [[Explorer's ring 3|third explorer's ring]], and an XP lamp.

Ned also gives you the [[Explorer's ring 4|fourth explorer's ring]] and a 9000 XP lamp.

==Trivia==
*After the completion of Dragon Slayer, there are three Neds in Runescape; one in his rope shop, one on top of Klarense's Cruiser (can be seen from the boat that leads to [[Pest Control]]), and one at Crandor, on top of the Lady Lumbridge.

*Ned, like many NPCs in Lumbridge and Draynor, used to offer jobs, but it was stopped on the 17 September 2009 update.
*The table in Ned's house's examine says "''Ned is making some rope here''", yet he does not make his own rope. This may be why the coil never progresses, meaning he presumably started and never finished.
*Ned may be a reference to Ned Land from [[wikipedia:20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954 film)|20,000 Leagues Under the Sea]].
*Ned received a graphical update on [[25 May]] [[2011]].
