RuneScape's iconic Mahjarrat storyline continues with a new quest!

Over the past few years, we've been advancing this story with quests like Desert Treasure II and While Guthix Sleeps, and today sees another important step in the grand plan: the launch of The Curse of Arrav. In this remake of the 2009 quest, you’ll embark on a journey to explore Zemouregal’s Fortress Stronghold, learning more about this mysterious Mahjarrat and uncovering his legendary beef with the hero Arrav.

To start the quest, head to the Uzer Oasis and speak to Elias White.

Elias White can be found at a campsite south of Cassim's house in the Uzer Oasis. If you can't view the image above, click here[cdn.runescape.com].


The Curse of Arrav is a Master tier quest with the following requirements:

• Completion of Defender of Varrock
• Completion of Troll Romance
• Level 64 Mining
• Level 62 Ranged
• Level 62 Thieving
• Level 61 Agility
• Level 58 Strength
• Level 37 Slayer
• We recommend a Combat level of at least 80

No good quest is complete without some nice rewards! Here's what you'll get for completing the Curse of Arrav:

• 2 Quest Points
• 40,000 Mining XP
• 40,000 Thieving XP
• 40,000 Agility XP
• Access to Zemouregal's Fortress, where the basement houses higher-level variants of the Armoured Zombies you've encountered during Defender of Varrock. These Armoured Zombies have an increased chance to drop the Zombie Axe. They also drop the new Zombie Helmet.
• The Zombie Helmet requires 50 Strength and Defence to equip. It sits between the Dwarven Helmet and Inquisitor's Great Helm as a Crush-focused Head slot option.
• The Zombie Helmet will drop broken and must be repaired at an anvil with Level 70 Smithing at an anvil. Both the broken and fixed versions are tradeable. See the stats below!

The Curse of Arrav is our third and final quest remake in the Mahjarrat storyline. As with previous quest remakes, The Curse of Arrav retains the same overarching narrative as the original. However, various changes have been made to ensure the quest meets the standards of a modern Old School quest and matches up with our future plans for the storyline.


Speaking of future plans, we wanted to take this opportunity to address some questions we’ve seen about the Mahjarrat storyline. Specifically, we want to elaborate on why we chose to remake some Mahjarrat quests, but not others.

When we first made plans for the Mahjarrat storyline in Old School, we knew it was important to balance the nostalgia people felt for the original with the desire for a fresh take on events. We also realised that our plans could benefit from backporting quests.

The Mahjarrat storyline is known for beginning as several different plot threads that weave together in the thrilling conclusion. We wanted to retain this aspect, and realised we could blend old and new by retaining some original plot threads while adding a few brand-new ones.

Defender of Varrock, While Guthix Sleeps and the Curse of Arrav all fit nicely with our plans for the story, and would also allow players to re-experience their favourite moments from past Mahjarrat quests.

We made a conscious choice not to remake other quests so that we had room to add new story elements – but you can see how we’ve woven in elements of the originals, too. For example, when you’re playing through Curse of Arrav, you’ll notice a few details that are borrowed from RuneScape’s Missing My Mummy quest.

As mentioned above, Curse of Arrav is the last of the Mahjarrat quest remakes. We’re now firmly on the path towards an Old School-specific conclusion to the Mahjarrat storyline. This means we will not be remaking Ritual of The Mahjarrat – instead, we have plans for two more quests in this sequence, which will resolve the plot threads established in previous quests in a way entirely unique to Old School.

We’re also aware that the Mahjarrat have received a lot of love lately – which is to be expected, since this is by far the most popular storyline in the game. However, variety is the spice of life, and so we’ll be taking a break from the Mahjarrat story to give other quest lines time to shine. Which quest lines, you ask? Well, watch this space…

Those who enjoy 'Scaping on mobile, rejoice! The long-awaited and much-anticipated Mobile UI changes are here today.

Please note that your mobile device may not automatically update to the latest version of the mobile client. Be sure to check the App Store or Play Store for the latest updates. Sometimes, it takes a while for devices to pick up the new updates.

The Mobile UI rework has a blog of its own[osrs.game], breaking down all the new features released today! For your convenience, here’s a quick look at all the Mobile features we’ve released over the years:

Check out the below video by Mobile veteran FullyOSRS to learn more!

https://youtu.be/BjFAPjA_tcE
If you can't see the video above, click here to watch.


Of course, changes for Mobile and the official client go hand in hand. The Menu Entry Swapper, Minimenu improvements and HiScores were some of the most highly-requested features – and all of these are also available on the official client! Therefore, we’ll be covering them here in detail.


This was one of the most-anticipated features! By enabling Minimenu Reordering in the Settings menu, you can rearrange minimenu entries to fit your needs.

If you can't view the image above, click here[cdn.runescape.com].

The reordering buttons are at the top-right of the minimenu. When clicked, new buttons will appear which you can use to move the options around.


Modify Minimenu Start Position

You can now adjust the position of the minimenu in relation to your mouse pointer! To do so, enable this feature and choose your preference from the dropdown menu.

If you can't view the image above, click here[cdn.runescape.com].

Do you want your mouse pointer to appear over the header of the minimenu, or at a lower position? It’s all up to you!

Minimenu Spacing Value

If you can't view the image above, click here[cdn.runescape.com].

You can now set the spacing between minimenu entries to any value by using the slider, or by entering a number.

Minimenu Filtering

If you can't view the image above, click here[cdn.runescape.com].

Last but not least, you can now filter what entries are shown or hidden in the minimenu!

• Disabling entity options will hide minimenu entries for NPCs, items, and objects like trees.
• Disabling player options will hide minimenu entries like Trade or Follow.
• You can also disable the 'examine' and 'cancel' entries in the minimenu.

If you choose to display loads of entries, don't worry, you won't end up with an extremely long minimenu - the new scroll bar has got you covered!

If you can't view the image above, click here[cdn.runescape.com].

Friend World Switcher

Another new entry to the minimenu! This one lets you easily hop to the world a friend is in by right-clicking their name in one of the following spaces:

• Friends list
• Chat channel
• Clan chat
• Guest clan chat
• Group Ironman group

Enjoy checking in on your buddies!


No more switching to your browser to check player HiScores! You can now look up player RSNs on the HiScores and see the stats of other 'Scapers directly in-game, without having to open the website in a separate window!

To enable this feature, select In-World Lookup from the Popout tab in the Settings. Once enabled, you can right-click a player and select Lookup from the menu. This will take you to the HiScores Popout Panel, which displays their stats! You’ll also notice that the HiScores icon in the Popout panel has been updated with a fresh new look.

If this setting is enabled, you can look up players on the HiScores from the game window! If you can't view the image above, click here[cdn.runescape.com].

We’re working to resolve a bug when looking up GIM and HCGIM players, so unfortunately these HiScores can’t be accessed using this feature just yet. We’ll keep you updated on our progress and should have the issue fixed soon.

These are the newest client features, but they’re by no means the last! Remember, you can check out the dedicated newspost [osrs.game]for all the details about today’s Mobile UI update.

[expand type=show more]

PSA: As of this week, Game Jam VI is in full swing, and the team will be diving into their passion projects from October 21st to November 1st! This means there will be no game update next week on Wednesday, October 30th.

Halloween 2024 Changes

• Marika will now believe you when you claim you’ve heard the cat. To help convince her, we’ve added a third chat option which lets you promise you heard it.
• Moved a pumpkin in Draynor out of the path of would-be woodcutters.

Varlamore: The Rising Darkness Changes

• Using the Refiner at the Mastering Mixology minigame whilst wearing Ferocious Gloves will no longer cause hands to stretch. Safety first!
• Clarified the criteria for the Perfect Hueycoatl Combat Achievement.

Ironman Status Changes

• An important update regarding Ironman accounts:
• Previously, some Ironmen chose to lock their Ironman status 'permanently', worrying that a hijacker might downgrade it behind their back. However, over the years, we've seen an increasing number of Ironmen regret this. Additionally, we now have Jagex Accounts, bringing updated security options to keep hijackers out of the account in the first place. Therefore, as of today's update, the old 'permanent' option is no longer available. If you previously locked your Ironman status permanently and now wish to downgrade, you can do so - provided you have the security of a Jagex Account to protect your status.
• Ironmen who are still concerned about a hijacker downgrading them may choose a downgrade cool-down delay of 90 days. Players whose Ironman status is due to downgrade will receive warnings on login, giving them ample chance to visit the Ironman Tutor in Lumbridge and cancel the change if they don't want it to proceed.

Arclight Changes

• Arclight will no longer degrade to Darklight after running out of charges and will instead become an ‘Inactive’ version with the same stats.
• Players can now use one or two Shards at a time to charge Arclight. 333 charges for one Shard, 666 for two, and 1,000 for three.
• You will still require three Shards to upgrade Darklight.
• A warning message will appear in chat when Arclight has 100 charges remaining.
• Repositioned Arclight's Inventory icon to avoid parts being chopped off.

Run Energy Changes Beta 2.0

• Our Run Energy changes second beta launches tomorrow, Thursday October 24th! This is your opportunity to test out changes that will impact all game play experiences, so do give it a go.

Other Changes

• Added a visual indicator to the Tormented Demons which shows when they enter their 100% accuracy phase.
• Examining the murals in the four Pyramid Plunder lobbies reveals how many of each gold chest you’ve looted.
• The Araxyte Slayer Helm now correctly matches your character's skin tone.
• The following weapons and armour from Varlamore have been added to the Supplies chests on PvP Arena worlds:
• Blue Moon armour set and Spear
• Blood Moon armour set
• Eclipse Moon armour set
• Eclipse Atlatl and Atlatl Darts
• Dual Macuahuitl
• Lumberjack Boots are now correctly proportioned to your character.
• You'll no longer find yourself in an unexpected location when using the passageways to exit the Rogues’ Den maze area.
• Fixed a bug causing the Skull Sceptre to forget its autocast setting when switching to another weapon and back again.
• Fixed a bug causing players to teleport a few tiles when standing on the tile directly south of Miss Schism in Draynor Village.
• Clicking Vorkath's Collection Log link no longer sends players to the Whisperer’s page.
• Fixed an issue with the Yanille south Agility shortcut.
• The Venator Ring can no longer be equipped without a Leviathan kill.
• During the Colossal Hydra's special attack, the smaller Hydras are no longer able to attack you.
• While it didn't affect your ability to play the minigame, we have made sure the Kraken's Tentacle is facing the right way during Fishing Trawler.
• The Loot Tracker no longer counts dropped bones twice.
• The Amulet of the Damned's effect now works with the Ahrim's set while manual casting as well as autocasting. Updated the set effect wording to reflect this change.
• When you use 250 Firelighters to unlock a new colourway for your Phoenix pet, you will now have permanent access to that colour. After unlocking once, you can then freely use the 'Metamorphosis' option on the pet to change it.
• We know there are some very dedicated fans of the Old Torva outfit, and while we currently aren't adding it to the game itself, this week we've added the files to the config. This means that RuneLite will now be able to utilise the file and give you the option to don the OG style for your own enjoyment. It's important to know that when activating it via the FashionScape plugin, the outfit will only be visible to you. The armour pieces are unavailable in the main game and are therefore untradeable, can't be sold or bought at the GE and will not leave placeholders in your Bank.
• Fixed a Farming issue where curing a diseased herb could cause it to transform into a different kind of herb altogether.
• Fixed an issue where the judge in King's Ransom appeared to have a beard but no head.
• Added the Last Contract option when using NPC Contact, which will allow players to talk to Amy about Mahogany Homes contracts.
• Enabled spectators scrying into the Theatre of Blood to be visible in the three waves previously exempt from this, meaning fighters will be able to see their audience. Public chat will be available between the fighters and spectators in the following fights:
• Nylocas
• Xarpus
• Verzik
• The latest Deadman Mode Rug item has been tweaked to make the skulls much clearer.

PvP Rota

The PvP rota has moved to Period B:

• 560 - (UK) - PvP World
• 319 - (US) - Bounty Hunter World
• 579 - (US) - High-Risk PvP World
• 561 - (UK) - Free-to-Play PvP World
• 580 - (US) - LMS Competitive

World 390 (AUS) for LMS Competitive has been de-activated with this rota.

World 569 (AUS) for Bounty Hunter has been de-activated with this rota.

The PvP Arena is using 'Zerker' loadouts in Ranked Duels and Tournaments this week.

We settled into spooky season last week with Marika and her pumpkin problem. Your Scarecrow Shirts and customised pumpkin heads have been the talk of all Gielinor – but we have had reports of some creepy crawly bugs that needed squashing.

• Some players were reporting that Marika didn't believe them when saying they had heard the cat, even when they had! To help convince her, we've added a third chat option, which lets you promise you heard the cat – if you have in fact heard it, of course.
• Moved a pumpkin decoration in Draynor so it's once again possible to go cut the oak next to the Bank without having to walk all the way around.

Reminder that if you haven't already, you can visit the farm south of Falador to start the event and snag yourself some wicked cosmetics!

It's been almost a month since Varlamore: The Rising Darkness was released. You ventured forth to explore Varlamorian ways of potion making, battle the fearsome Hueycoatl, snag yourself new rewards, take on the new Combat Achievements and more!

As always, we kept monitoring your feedback, which has led to the following fixes:

• Using the Refiner at the Mastering Mixology minigame whilst wearing Ferocious Gloves will no longer make your gloves get stuck to the machine and cause your hands to stretch.
• We've clarified the criteria for the Perfect Hueycoatl Combat Achievement:

This week also brings an important update for Ironmen.

Previously, some Ironmen chose to lock their Ironman status 'permanently', worrying that a hijacker might downgrade it behind their back. However, over the years, we've seen an increasing number of Ironmen regret this. Additionally, we now have Jagex Accounts, bringing updated security options to keep hijackers out of the account in the first place. Therefore, as of today's update, the old 'permanent' option is no longer available. If you previously locked your Ironman status permanently and now wish to downgrade, you can do so - provided you have the security of a Jagex Account to protect your status.

Ironmen who are still concerned about a hijacker downgrading them may choose a downgrade cool-down delay of 90 days. Players whose Ironman status is due to downgrade will receive warnings on login, giving them ample chance to visit the Ironman Tutor in Lumbridge and cancel the change if they don't want it to proceed.

---

After the addition of While Guthix Sleeps, Arclight gained a new feature which allowed players to infuse spent charges to count towards the 10,000-charge total required to upgrade it to Emberlight. However, when Arclight depleted to 0 charges, it automatically downgraded to Darklight, which meant your infusion progress was lost.

Following your feedback, running out of charges will now create an ‘Inactive’ version of the Arclight, which remains usable in combat with the same stats as Darklight and maintains your infusion progress.

While we were at it, we also made some additional improvements:

• Players can now use one or two Shards at a time to charge Arclight. 333 charges for one Shard, 666 for two, and 1,000 for three.
• You will still require three Shards to upgrade Darklight.
• A warning message will appear in chat when Arclight has 100 charges remaining.
• Repositioned Arclight's Inventory icon to avoid parts being chopped off.

Our second Run Energy changes beta launches tomorrow, Thursday October 24th! This is your opportunity to test out changes that will impact all game play experiences, no matter what you get up to in Gielinor.

For all the details on what these changes are and how to take part in the beta, keep your eye out for a dedicated Run Energy Changes blog on the day.

As we've stepped into the final quarter of the year, it's time for another Game Jam!

Game Jams are internal events that we run twice a year, providing us with a fantastic opportunity to come together as a team and pursue passion projects outside the normal roadmap. Previous Game Jams have introduced projects that eventually became Scurrius, Perilous Moons, the Wilderness updates, Project Rebalance, and more!

With our sixth Game Jam in full swing, the team will be diving into their passion projects from October 21st to November 1st. This means there will be no game update next week, on Wednesday, October 30th.

J-Mods will be using the #OSRSGameJam hashtag on X to share what they've been cooking - so if you want to see what we’re up to this time, make sure to check it out!

Likewise, there will also be a dedicated #Game-Jam-VI channel on our Discord server[discord.gg], where some J-Mods will be sharing their ideas and soliciting your feedback!

We'll be dropping clues in the #F2P-Clues and #Members-Clues channels under the Events category on the day. Then it’s up to you to head to the right location and see what your favourite J-Mods have transformed into!

See you there!

We work alongside our Discord Volunteer Moderators to help provide you with activities and events that you can take part in.

We've had J-Mod events, player-led activities and games hosted by our mod team themselves! The team are dedicated to bringing you the activities that you want to take part in, so felt it was high time we got your feedback on what they’ve put on so far, and what you want to see in the future. So, we would love it if you could take a couple of minutes to fill this[forms.gle] in and let the mod team know your thoughts!

We're excited to announce our next Discord Stage call!

On Tuesday, October 29th at 16:00 GMT, Mod Blossom will be joined by Mod Jerv (Concept Artist) and Mod Skylark (Character Artist) to chat about art in Old School while Mod Jerv live-draws your suggestions! We've opened up a new channel to gather your drawing ideas early, so Mod Skylark can mock some of them up in 3D to show off during the stages. Head to the Drawing Suggestions channel to start suggesting what you'd like to see created! Please bear in mind that this Stages is just for fun, and not to develop in-game items, which means you can go wild with your ideas and get creative. We can't wait to see what you come up with! We'll be opening our Ask Your Questions channel on the day of the Stages, too, so prepare any art-related questions you have and pop them in there.

• We know there are some very dedicated fans of the Old Torva outfit, and while we currently aren't adding it to the game itself, this week we've added the files to the config. This means that RuneLite will now be able to utilise the file and give you the option to don the OG style for your own enjoyment. It's important to know that when activating it via the FashionScape plugin, the outfit will only be visible to you. The armour pieces are unavailable in the main game and are therefore untradeable, can't be sold or bought at the GE and will not leave placeholders in your Bank.
• Fixed a Farming issue where curing a diseased herb could cause it to transform into a different kind of herb altogether.
• Fixed an issue where the judge in King's Ransom appeared to have a beard but no head.
• Added the Last Contract option when using NPC Contact, which will allow players to talk to Amy about Mahogany Homes contracts.
• Enabled spectators scrying into the Theatre of Blood to be visible in the three waves previously exempt from this, meaning fighters will be able to see their audience. Public chat will be available between the fighters and spectators in the following fights:
• Nylocas
• Xarpus
• Verzik
• The latest Deadman Mode Rug item has been tweaked to make the skulls much clearer.
