Update:Monkey Madness II



Calling Pets & Deadman Death

"Mark my words - the monkeys are listening." Glough, the war criminal set on eradicating humans and overthrowing Gielinor, has escaped the watch of the Grand Tree gnomes.

''With a history of leaving large-scale conflicts and warfare in his wake, Glough must be tracked down and stopped. King Narnode Shareen needs your help.''

Over a decade since the release of the original Monkey Madness, a sequel to the classic quest is finally here.

Avid adventurers will find themselves up against a real challenge when taking on this Grandmaster quest. On top of wit, skill and perseverance, you will need the following to complete Monkey Madness II:


 * 69 Slayer
 * 70 Crafting
 * 55 Thieving
 * 60 Hunter
 * 55 Agility


 * Recipe for Disaster - King Awowogei sub-quest
 * Enlightened Journey - Grand Tree balloon route unlocked
 * The Eyes of Glouphire
 * Troll Stronghold
 * Watchtower

If you are experienced enough to take on the challenge, speak to King Narnode Shareen in the Grand Tree in order to start Monkey Madness II.

Rewards

Being a Grandmaster quest, Monkey Madness II offers some excellent rewards. Here are a couple of the many rewards for completing Monkey Madness II.

Ballistae

Upon completing Monkey Madness II you will gain access to an activity from which the components used to fletch ballistae can be obtained. Ballistae are slow, hard hitting ranged weapons comparable to Godswords and use javelins as ammunition.



Zenyte jewellery

Also obtained from a post-quest activity, Zenyte shards can be used on an onyx to create Zenyte - a brand new gem. Zenyte can be crafted into jewellery to create several best-in-slot pieces of equipment:


 * Ring of Suffering: a best-in-slot defensive ring.
 * Necklace of Anguish: a best-in-slot ranged necklace which provides both ranged attack and strength.
 * Tormented Bracelet: a best-in-slot magic bracelet which provides both magic attack and damage.
 * Amulet of Torture: a best-in-slot melee amulet which provides stab, slash and crush attack as well as strength bonus.



'''Time is of the essence. Head to King Narnode Shareen in the Grand Tree in order to start the next step in your adventure.'''
