Rewards

Completing this epic adventure unlocks some truly game-changing rewards: new prayers and spells which make a dedicated support role possible in endgame combat content, and high-level skilling incentives that are nigh on vital.

Note that these are part of the Ancient curses and spellbook.

Spells

Spell - Level
Description

Opal Aurora - 75
Direct damage spell. Also restores lifespan on prisms.

Prism of Restoration -76
Places a prism which heals nearby familiars and restores their special attack energy, and gives a chance to not use scrolls on familiar special ability use.

Sapphire Aurora - 77
Direct damage spell. Also overcharges prisms, adding useful effects on their next tick.

Intercept - 77
Redirects damage taken by the targeted player over the next three seconds to the caster, and reduces the damage to 95% of the original hit.

Emerald Aurora - 79
Direct damage spell. Also applies a stacking 1% damage reduction buff to the caster. Stacks up to 5%, and with other damage reduction methods.

Prism of Salvation - 80

Ruby Aurora - 81
Direct damage spell. Also has a chance to apply a 1% damage buff to nearby allies. Stacks up 3%.

Crystallise - 88
When cast on mining, fishing or woodcutting spots - or full box traps - will cause the resource to persist for 30 seconds, yield no resources and give increased XP. Other players may still deplete the resource, but Crystallise will carry on when the resource is back.

Soul Link - 88

Teamwork Protection - 89
Gives 5% damage reduction and 1% damage reflection for all nearby players who have the same prayer active. Stacks up to 5 times for a total of 25% reduction and 5% reflection.Note that the prayer only affects other players, so you'll need 6 players using it to get the full effect.

Superheat Form - 91
Automatically burns logs and smelts ore into bars for XP.

Fortitude - 94
Boosts Defence by 10%, life points by 100, doubles regeneration and allows regeneration in combat.

And of course, there'll be a healthy helping of XP in a range of skills as soon as you complete the quest.

Ironman | Group Bossing & Completionist Requirements

We've enabled a great deal of high-level content for Ironman players this week.

First Up, Ironmen players may now group with each other to access all bosses that use the boss instancing system. They may also create groups to access the Raid ‘Liberation of Mazcab’.

Lootshare has also been enabled to Ironman accounts - although it will only work on bosses.

Alongside these changes we’ve opened up a few areas in the game that were previously inaccessible to Ironman players. These include areas such as the Kalphite King's lair, Vorago’s borehole, Mobilising Armies and Barbarian Assault.

On top of this, we’ve also made it possible for Ironman players to earn the Completionist and Trimmed Completionist cape! To unlock those songs you previously couldn't access, simply attempt to enter or interact with the content in question.

Keep an eye out for broadcasts as Ironman players start making RuneScape history!

Enjoy!

This week sees the release of one of the most spectacular and rewarding quests yet released, plus a raft of new spells and prayers - and more. We hope you have a tremendous time with The Light Within – head over to the forums and let us know your thoughts.
