Update:Revenant Cave Rewards and Troll Quest Announcement



''Today's game update sees the arrival of four new unique Revenant drops. Later today you'll be able to take advantage of our partnership with Twitch Prime. And we need your help in perfecting the rewards for Making Friends with My Arm, the continuation in the the Troll quest series from Mod Ash.''

At the end of June we polled a number of possible new rewards to Revenants. The initial proposal can be found in the Revenant Cave Rewards Revisited blog. Today's update sees the arrival of the rewards which passed the polls: Craw's Bow, Thammaron's sceptre, Viggora's chainmace, and the Amulet of avarice. For more information on the these new items, read on below.

Craw's bow

Craw's bow is a tradeable 2-handed bow that can deal additional damage to Wilderness NPCs. It has the same stats as the Magic shortbow (i) and requires 60 Ranged to equip. When charged with a minimum of 1000 Revenant ether, an additional 50% Ranged accuracy and 50% Ranged damage boost is activated vs any Wilderness NPC. This effect will stack with either a Slayer helmet or a Salve amulet equipped, but does not allow the effects of both the Slayer helmet and Salve amulet to stack. This includes imbued versions of both the Slayer helmet and the Salve amulet.

The bow does not use any ammo, much like the Crystal bow. Instead, it relies on the use of the Revenant ether stored within it. One Revenant ether is used per hit, even if a hit misses. Any Revenant ether stored within the bow is always dropped on death when inside the Wilderness.



Thammaron's sceptre

Thammaron's sceptre is a tradeable 1-handed magic weapon that can deal additional damage to Wilderness NPCs. It has the same stats as the Master wand and requires 60 Magic to equip. When charged with a minimum of 1000 Revenant ether, an additional 100% Magic accuracy and 25% Magic damage boost is activated vs any Wilderness NPC. This effect will stack with either a Slayer helmet or a Salve amulet equipped, but does not allow the effects of both the Slayer helmet and Salve amulet to stack. This includes imbued versions of both the Slayer helmet and the Salve amulet.

The sceptre can be used much like the Master wand, though it cannot autocast ancient spells. Each spell that is cast using the sceptre uses one Revenant ether, regardless of the spell hitting or not, alongside the standard runes required.



Viggora's chainmace

Viggora's chainmace is a tradeable 1-handed flail that can deal additional damage to Wilderness NPCs. It has stats similar to that of a Dragon scimitar and requires 60 Attack to equip. When charged with a minimum of 1000 Revenant ether, an additional 50% Melee accuracy and 50% Melee damage boost is activated vs any Wilderness NPC. This effect will stack with either a Slayer helmet or a Salve amulet equipped, but does not allow the effects of both the Slayer helmet and Salve amulet to stack. This includes imbued versions of both the Slayer helmet and the Salve amulet.

One Revenant ether is used per hit, even if a hit misses. Any Revenant ether stored within the chainmace is always dropped on death when inside the Wilderness.



Amulet of avarice

Within the Revenant Caves are a plethora of NPCs, many of which are killed frequently for Wilderness Slayer tasks. It's no secret that a lot of Wilderness activities are a trade-off between risk and reward. We want to further extend the risk vs reward factor with a new reward from Revenant NPCs - the Amulet of avarice.

The Amulet of avarice provides the same stats as an Amulet of glory, with the added ability of causing all drops within the Revenant Caves to be noted whilst it's worn - this includes the non-Revenant NPCs also in the cave. The downside to this benefit however, is that the player is constantly skulled while wearing the amulet. If removed, a normal 20-minute skull will remain.

This week we've been teasing just which large project we'll be working on next. On yesterday's Q&A we confirmed that Making Friends with My Arm will be the next quest to be released on Old School RuneScape (should it pass the poll). This project will be headed by Mod Ash's team (it's recommended you read this blog explaining changes to the team structure), and you can expect to see a blog detailing the quest and its rewards sometime next week. Speaking of rewards, we'd like your help perfecting just what it is that we offer. We'd like the rewards to involve using Firemaking to light minerals (which are mined after the quest) in pre-designated fire pits around the world, with the fires providing various benefits. What are your thoughts on this? What do you like or dislike? What would you change? Give us feedback on our official forums, the community-led 2007Scape Reddit, or the community-led OSRS Discord in the #gameupdate channel. Alternatively, you can contact Mod Munro directly!

Listen to Mod Ash himself to hear how the quest first came to fruition.
