Quest quality of life and some last chances to get your hands on Runefest Merch!
Kwest? Qwest!
When not working on the upcoming Desert quests, Mod Shrike has been diligently addressing player-submitted quest feedback. From fixing inconsistencies to refining dialogue and improving narrative flow, they've done a fantastic job even ensuring that spoilers stay hidden from players who haven't reached key moments in their adventure.
This week, we're rolling out several quest improvements, all inspired by direct player feedback. If you've spotted something that could use a little polishperhaps a werewolf appearing before it shouldhead over to the Official Discord and share your thoughts in the #lore-raise-feedback channel!
Fixes and Improvements in this Week's Game Update
Quest Quality of Life
- 'The Journal of Fell Arnessen', first read out at RuneFest 2018, has been added as a drop from the Arch-Glacor in the Elder God Wars dungeon, along with an associated master quest cape achievement. The lorehound bonus applies.
- The 'Aged Journal', found in the Daemonheim dig site, has been added to the Master Quest Cape and player-owned house bookshelf.
- Rebuilding Edgeville is now started by speaking to Vannaka in Edgeville, rather than Mandrith in the deep wilderness.
- The trapdoor entrance to the prison in Fort Forinthry now appears as non-interactable scenery prior to the Battle of Forinthry.
- Icthlarin now only appears at the ruined Duel Arena when players are eligible to start Eye of Het I.
- The "Blessing of Het" archaeology relic power now shows the correct unlock level.
- The human and werewolf guards in Paterdomus' basement now only appear after you've finished River of Blood.
- Bianca's grave appears in the main game world after the relevant scene in Ancient Awakening.
- The quest start points for Desperate Times and Desperate Measures have been clarified in the quest UI.
- Several misspellings of Carrallangar have been corrected.
- Minor dialogue tweaks to Merlin's Crystal to make the lady of the lake simpler to find.
- Minor dialogue tweaks in The Temple at Senntisten to clarify who hired the assassin in Devious Minds.
- Dialogue tweaks to Tree Gnome Village, Ghosts Ahoy and minor tweaks for Sir Tiffy in A Void Dance.
General
- The VFX has been added to Masterwork Staff.
- Fixed an issue that caused Araxxi to die immediately upon spawning. (Thanks Pup/Finah)
- Players can now toggle messages they see regarding Combat achievement progress, failures and eligibility even if they have already completed the achievement.
- Within Settings -> Gameplay -> Notifications -> Content Updates -> Achievement failure, progress and eligibility messaging you can set your preference.
- The collection log will now correctly list all obtained items for F2P players for both F2P and members' only bosses.
- Added messaging to explain why the player is not awarded XP during Way of the Wizard if Ariane deals more than 50% damage to the Abomination, and the player is on an Ironman account.
- Resolved an issue where the destroyed hatchet/pickaxe appears in the woodcutting/mining animation.

Enhancing Communications
Back in December, we shared a Player Support Survey: 'Help Shape the Future' to better understand what areas of our support offering you want to see improved. Your feedback was clear, with 89% of you saying you'd value receiving confirmation when your cheating reports lead to action.
We've got good news! We've delivered the first step of this improvement ahead of schedule! Rather than waiting until our full Player Support Improvements Roadmap reveal next month, we decided there's no reason to delay something thats ready today.
From today onwards, whenever your macroing (botting) report has been reviewed and actioned, you'll receive an inbox message directly in your Message Centre. This is an initial rollout for macroing reports, and we'll be closely monitoring feedback as we look to expand this system to cover additional types of cheating reports in future.
This improvement is part of our ongoing commitment to making the world of Gielinor fairer, safer, and more enjoyable for everyone. If you missed the recent Q&A with Mod North, you'll be pleased to know theres even more to come! Well be sharing the full Player Support Improvements Roadmap in April, detailing further upgrades to your support experience across 2025.
For any questions you may have, we've put together a short FAQ!
