While Guthix Sleeps
This week we're bringing one of RuneScape’s most iconic quests to Old School. It’s While Guthix Sleeps! The incredibly talented OnlyTrails has summed up our latest quest additions in video format for those who might want something to watch during downtime: https://youtu.be/qmHw2nXBqtM?si=Mzjj-QqjrHEAAW2z If you can't see the video above, click here to watch it! This Grandmaster quest sees you continue the Mahjarrat storyline, hunting down one of the most powerful artefacts in existence while ensuring it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. This artefact is known by many names – most recently, the Stone of Jas. It has shaped the course of Gielinor’s history, from the creation of the first Runes to the fall of Zaros. It was last seen at the devastating end of the God Wars, when Zamorak, in a fit of rage, used it to reduce the land of Forinthry to the Wilderness we know today. Angered by Zamorak’s actions, Guthix rose from his age-long slumber and banished the gods. He hid the Stone of Jas far underground, where it could never disturb the balance again... But while Guthix sleeps, nefarious forces have been gathering; the Mahjarrat. Shaped by war and deadly ritual, their plans for the Stone can only lead to catastrophe. Facing off against the Mahjarrat is nothing new for dedicated adventurers – at every turn, they seem to grow in power and wage war against the people of Gielinor. In their last attempt, we saw them set out to tear Varrock apart with an undead army in Defender of Varrock. What are they plotting now? You’ll have to play the quest to find out! If all that lore is a bit much to digest, PoisonedPotion has condensed it all into one epic video breakdown. Check it out below: https://youtu.be/4SQb6lH29x4?si=W4SjbY_LoIOKEO14 If you can't see the video above, click here to watch it!Requirements

Tormented Demons
As part of this historic quest, we're summoning back an iconic enemy: the tormented demons. Wreathed in flame and called forth to stop you meddling in Mahjarrat plans, these monsters aren't to be taken lightly. But with great risk comes great reward, as the tormented demons have the chance to drop the Tormented Synapse and the brand-new Bone Claws. You'll need to collect two of the dropped Bone Claw and put them together to form the new weapon. The Tormented Synapse is a tradeable unique drop that can be used to craft three new Demonbane weapons: Emberlight, the Scorching Bow, and the Purging Staff. You’ll need at least level 74 in the relevant skill to craft all three weapons. Unlike other craftables, we’re not giving you the option to have a skilled NPC craft it for you. This means that mains and Irons alike will have to graft for their spoils, but these powerful weapons are well worth the effort. We developed all four new weapons, including the Bone Claws, through community consultation, taking on your feedback and tweaking the stats so each item felt more in-line with their positioning.Demonbane Weapons
We discussed all the new weapons in detail in our rewards blog, but there have been a few tweaks since then. Let’s get up to speed...
