New Rewards for Minigames

We’ve added a veritable bounty of high-level rewards to our minigames, including armour sets to boost Thieving and Runecrafting XP gain, macabre customisation options for dark magic users and an infernally adorable pet Jad. If there’s a minigame that you’ve never tried before, or one that you’ve not played for a long time, now is a terrific time to start!

New equipment

We’ve added 5 entirely new sets of gear which are now available to high-level minigame devotees.

Master runecrafter robes: This set is available to arcane scholars persistently participating in the Great Orb Project. In addition to all the stat bonuses of the lower-level Runecrafting robes, each piece of this set offers a bonus to Runecrafting XP gain, with a total bonus of +2.5% when the whole set is worn.

Black Ibis outfit: Once worn by members of an ancient, secret society, this clothing can be obtained through Pyramid Plunder. In a similar vein to the Master Runecrafter Robes, each article of clothing provides a bonus to Thieving XP gain (with a few exceptions), for a total of +2.5% for the whole set.

Hybrid armour: These three new armour sets provide substantial bonuses to multi-talented combatants while playing Castle Wars, Soul Wars, Fist of Guthix and TzHaar Fight Pits:

Battle-mage armour: This set is great for warrior-wizards who use both melee and magic to overcome opponents.
Trickster armour: Ideal for the cunning combatant who needs to switch between ranged and magical attacks at a moment’s notice.
Vanguard armour: Perfect for the versatile frontline fighter who likes to weaken enemies at range before closing to finish the job in melee.

While these hybrid armour sets provide no benefits to statistics outside of PVP minigames, they do look very cool.

Quake with fear, humans!

The moment it burst forth from its infernal cocoon in the sulphurous depths of the TzHaar City, the infant TzRek-Jad was ready for battle. While domestic life isn’t quite what it envisaged, it can now be acquired by Soul Wars players who are skilled enough to handle it as a pet. When it looks up at you with its big, winsome eyes, you can never be quite sure whether it’s planning to crush your skull or just wants its belly rubbed. However, it doesn’t need feeding and will not run away, and is an excellent deterrent to unwelcome doorstep canvassers.

Customisation Options
Those with no qualms about exploring the most depraved avenues of arcane knowledge can now obtain items from Shades of Mort’ton with which to customise their equipment. First of these is the shade skull, which can be attached to elemental staves or battlestaves by high-level crafters for a newly ghoulish appearance. Those who delve deeper, however, may find a necromancer’s kit which can be used to upgrade the Dagon’hai robes, giving them a Prayer bonus and a new, macabre look.

...and many more!

There are plenty of other great rewards to be won by dedicated minigame players, including:

Proximity chinchompas for use in Castle Wars.
Glistening shells that grant bonus XP on the Fishing Trawler, as well as tiger sharks to catch and cook, and shark’s teeth to craft into necklaces.
New lunar spells including ‘Borrowed Power’, which allows lunar magic users to use selected offensive spells.

To start, play any of the following minigames. See the individual minigame pages for full details of the rewards:

Castle Wars
Stealing Creation
Fist of Guthix
Pest Control
Shades of Mort’ton
Fishing Trawler

Players who have unlocked wishes in the Livid Farm minigame have been refunded the produce points spent on them. Wishes are no longer accessible until the Borrowed Power spell has been purchased.
Finally, we've made some changes to the way that the 'skulled' status is applied while in the Wilderness. More information can be found here.

It's kinda rare, but this update looks useless to me. I don't need anything in it or it is not worth it in my opinion.

I wanted my quest, not this.

Waiting for next week :x

Great set of updates, why can't they all be like this!

Better update than most of the recent stuff, but not spectacular. Will eventually get this stuff. hah

I really like this update. Looking forward to get some plundering done ^_^

Finally something awesome (it looks like). I wonder how much it'll effect the game, not just the mini game them selves.

One thing I really want to see are the infant TzRek-Jad! They look cute :3


But wait, What is a Sceptre of the gods ? is that part of the new update as well? Because I don't see it anywhere on wiki.

Awesome. I'm most excited about the shades of Mort'ton game rewards. I love killing shades they were always a really good money maker. Also the Ibis Outfit for Thieving looks great too. Guess we all know Meg will be going for that one

complete and utter crap update - they have just ruined Pyramid Plunder by adding a second sarcophagus to the last room which will most definitely be raided.

I'm done with my goal of 200m thieve now - absolute garbage this game is turning too.

Cool update tbh

New thiev set can't be use for pp nor blackjacking.
New sceptre is un-tradable, and new diamond thing must be too. It only give 10 charges to teleport, nothing more and the diamond gives more points to recharge.

New dragonhai sets ain't very good, stay with Arhims.

Rc set takes way too long for that little boost.

New pet is useless since it's a pet.

New shields degrades... Up to you to like it or not.

Hybrids sets are kinda good for mini-games and in my case, nice to Castle Wars

New spell is limited to wave attacks... WAVE.

New staff (skull) is cosmetic Oo? Need info, but they don't change much.

I'm still looking for infos about that new necklace :I
