'''Port Phasmatys''' ([[Pronunciation|pronounced]] ''"Faz-mat-iss"''{{CitePostbag|url=http://services.runescape.com/m=rswiki/en/Postbag_35|title=But how do you pruh-nounce Rell-doh?|issue=35|letter=Letter 4|date=15:36, July 8, 2011 (UTC)}}) is a small coastal town located to the far east of the swamp region of [[Morytania]], to the very far north-east of the ''[[RuneScape]]'' realm of [[Gielinor]], and east of [[Canifis]]. The town is especially notable for the [[Ectofuntus]] directly north of its gates, its brewery (one of only two in the game), and its [[furnace]], whose distance to a [[bank]] is the shortest in all of ''[[Gielinor]]'' (except for Edgeville but that requires the completion of the [[Varrock Easy Tasks]] to use.) Its local newspaper is called the [[Phasmatys Old Herald]].

There are two main entrances: one from the west, and another from the north. Prior to completion of the [[Ghosts Ahoy]] quest, entry to the town requires two [[ecto-token]]s while wearing a ghostspeak amulet. After the quest the player may enter the town at no cost, and a ghostspeak amulet is no longer needed unless you wish to talk with the ghosts. A ghostspeak amulet is recommended to access the bank, but not needed if you use the "quick-bank" option. Alternatively, players can arrive on a [[charter ship]]. The town is populated by ghost characters, and an [[Amulet of Ghostspeak]] or [[cramulet]] is needed to talk to the majority of the inhabitants. The town features heavily in the Ghosts Ahoy quest.

Port Phasmatys is the only place in ''RuneScape'' where players can wear a [[bedsheet]], which is obtained in the [[quest]] Ghosts Ahoy.

==History==
The exact date when Port Phasmatys was built is unknown, though it is widely believed that Port Phasmatys was created somewhere around the year 1777 of the fourth age, when many [[Misthalin|Misthalanian]] settlers left their homeland for a new life in Morytania.

Phasmatys was a busy market town and was in trade with many places of [[Gielinor]] and possibly even the mysterious [[Eastern Lands|eastern lands]], and was one of the most successful and famous ports on Gielinor until the Vampyres from the [[Sanguinesti region]] started to demand [[Blood tithe]]s on the residents. The people in Port Phasmatys hopelessly turned to [[Necrovarus]], a stranger from the [[Eastern Lands]] who somehow knew about the existence of a substance called [[Ectoplasm]] below the town's temple. He ordered the citizens to dig beneath the temple until they found the lake of ectoplasm. Necrovarus used this ectoplasm to create the ectofuntus which, in turn, created a powerful barrier around the port. This barrier repelled the vampyres, effectively preventing them from invading the town. But it in turn made the citizens also unable to leave the town. And with the lack of resources, the citizens died one by one. But even the spirits of the citizens were unable to leave the town because of the barrier. Necrovarus, who planned all this, took control over the town. He was using the power of the ghosts and the ectofuntus for his own evil purposes until an adventurer stopped him in [[Ghosts Ahoy]].

==Transportation==
[[File:Ectophial.png|left|The Ectophial]][[File:ectophial.gif|right|frame|A player using the ectophial to teleport to Port Phasmatys]]

One of the rewards from the Ghosts Ahoy quest is the [[Ectophial]], which is a simple, one-click teleport that teleports players right to the Ectofuntus. This is the quickest and most convenient way to access Port Phasmatys.

A less convenient way the get to Port Phasmastys is to teleport with a clan vexillum to the Clan Camp, run south to Port Sarim, and then Chartering from there. You cannot charter to Phasmastys unless you do Ghosts Ahoy.
A [[fairy ring]] (code ALQ) is located to the west of town.

==Points of interest==

===Bank===
There is a [[Bank]] in Port Phasmatys to the south-east, and players may use the "quick-bank" option even without an amulet of ghostspeak. Prior to the bonfires update, some players liked to train [[Firemaking]] in Port Phasmatys because it is reasonably quiet and contains a long east-west stretch of road.

===Ectofuntus===
{{main|Ectofuntus}}

[[File:Ectofunctus Pray.gif|right|frame|A player praying to the [[Ectofuntus]].]]

After starting the Ghosts Ahoy quest, players can worship the [[Ectofuntus]] to receive four times [[Prayer]] experience for every [[Bones|bone]]. It is a bit of effort, walking up and down with [[bucket]]s and [[empty pot]]s, but well worth it for this skill as it is very hard to train. This is even more worthwhile when using expensive [[dragon bones]] or better.

Completing the quest will help immensely, as players can use the [[ectophial]] to teleport back and forth, and bank at the town if needed.

*''Collect slime'' - take empty buckets and enter the trapdoor near the Ectofuntus, and travel down the stairs. There is an [[Agility]] shortcut here that will shorten the journey considerably. At the bottom of the stairs is a pool of slime; players can use empty buckets with them.

*''Crush bones'' - take bones and empty pots and go up the stairs near the Ectofuntus. Use the bone grinder to grind the bones and collect the contents in the pots.

*''Worship the Ectofuntus'' - players should now have buckets of slime and pots of bonemeal in their inventory. Just click on the Ectofuntus to worship it, and receive Prayer experience. Players will need to talk to the disciples when the Ectofuntus is full to receive some ecto-tokens. They can then worship again.

* Many players use an [[amulet of glory]] or a [[ring of duelling]] to teleport to a bank, as it is faster than running to the bank in Port Phasmatys. Another method of banking is to teleport to [[Daemonheim]] using a [[Ring of kinship]] .

There is a small ectofuntus in need of repairs inside one of the boats in Port Phasmatys, which is used as a power source.

===Furnace===
Phasmatys has one of the closest [[furnace]]s to a bank in the game, third only to those in [[Edgeville]] and [[Neitiznot]], making it popular for players training [[Smithing]] or [[Crafting]].

===The Green Ghost inn and brewery===
{{main|The Green Ghost}}

[[File:Getting beer.gif|right|frame|A player using the Port Phasmatys brewery]]

There is one inn in town, [[The Green Ghost]]. It is torn apart like the rest of the buildings, and currently houses [[Robin Hood]].

There is also a brewery in the basement, which members can use via the [[Cooking]] skill to make their own ales. It is one of only two breweries in the game, the other being in [[Keldagrim]]. Players may buy [[ale yeast]] from [[Metarialus]] there for 5 [[ecto-token]]s, though they must supply their own [[empty pot]].

===Farming patch===
There is a vegetable and herb patch used in the [[Farming]] skill just to the west of the town. [[Lyra]] can look after crops for players here. There is also a farming shop where players can buy the usual items for use in farming, as well as [[undead cow]]s and [[undead chicken|chickens]].

===Port Phasmatys General Store===
[[File:Port Phasmatys General Store stock.png|thumb|Port Phasmatys general store sells basic [[items]] in exchange for [[coins]].]]

There is a [[Port Phasmatys General Store|general store]] in Port Phasmatys, located in the south-west part of the town. The pots and buckets in the store can be handy for praying at the Ectofuntus or brewing ales in the brewery.

Some of the ghosts require payment in [[ecto-token]], which is the currency of the town, though the shop still uses coins. Players must wear a Ghostspeak amulet to trade here, however.

==Inhabitants==

===Non-player characters===
All of the ghosts within Port Phasmatys' walls (with the exception of [[Gravingas]] and some citizens) are shorter than the player.

*[[Pirate Pete]]

*[[Necrovarus]]
*[[Velorina]]
*[[Gravingas]]
*[[Droalak]]
*[[Melina]]
*[[Ghost disciple]]

==Music==
The following [[music]] tracks are unlocked in Port Phasmatys:
*[[The Other Side]]
*[[Shipwrecked]]
*[[Phasmatys]]
*[[Brew Hoo Hoo]]

==Trivia==
*If you enter Port Phasmatys wearing the Christmas 2009 ghost outfit, the following message appears: "The ghosts eye you suspiciously and recognize that you are masquerading as one of them".
*Phasmatys might be from the Latin word "Phasmatis," which means spirit.
*When you wear an [[amulet of ghostspeak]] near the ghost next to the market stalls, [[Gravingas]] will change positions.
*On [[5 September ]] 2012 a game-wide model update caused the ghostly inhabitants to obtain blue bodies and yellow heads.
