Walkthrough

1. Odd old man.

The first thing to do is talking to the odd old man. He will explain some things to you about bones. When he has done that, he wants you to get some bones.

2. The bones

Below is a table showing you where to get the different bones. Note that you can get them in any order.

Pic. Name How to get
Goblin skull Head to Lumbridge and kill a goblin to get his skull.
Bear Ribs Go to Varrock and head to the south-eastern mining place, and a bit south there is a bear.
Just north of the mining field, there is a giant rat. Kill it to get the Giant Rat Bone.
Unicorn Bone When you're south of Varrock, head to the east mining place and a bit south, there are some unicorns. Kill one.
Ram Skull Rams are close to the sheeps south of Varrock or in Ardougne.
Giant Rat Bone Go to Varrock sewer and kill a Giant Rat, or as explained earlier, there is a rat north of the south-eastern mine outside Varrock.
Big Frog Leg Go to the Lumbridge Caves [map] and kill a Big Frog. Note that when you're in the cave, you'll need your lantern, spiny helmet and eventually a tinderbox.
Monkey Paw Go to Karamja/Brimhaven and kill a monkey.
Giant Bat Wing Go to Camelot and head south to Keep Le Faye [map] where there are some Giant bats.

When you have these items, go to Draynor and talk to the Fortunato, the wine merchant. After some chatting he will sell you some Vinegar. You need 8 of them.

3. Polish and clean the bones

Go back to the Odd Old Man and you will see a pot-boiler. Use a Jug of Vinegar with the pot. Then, use one of the bones with the Pot of Vinegar and you will get Bone in Vinegar. Put your logs under the pot-boiler and then use the pot with bones on the pot-boiler. Use your tinderbox and fire the logs. Just wait some seconds and the bones are polished and cleaned. Keep doing it until all of your bones are polished and cleaned and hand them over to the Odd Old Man. You will then complete the quest. Congratulations!
