Making History

For generations, an outpost has been standing North of Ardougne. It was placed to detect incoming invaders before they had the chance to strike the fort of Ardougne. Many people have lived in this outpost, only now its current occupant - Jorral - is desperately asking for help.

Jorral has discovered that King Lathas of Ardougne recently decided this 'worthless' outpost should be revamped. He plans to make this into a new alchemists' lab for his own private (and some say corrupt) work. Jorral strongly believes that the outpost has a deep and meaningful history, but try as he might he just can't piece it together. He would like you to discover this history so that he may stop this mockery and convince the king of better plans for the building.

Jorral says he's sure you'll be rewarded with some useful artifact, even if he has to find something from his own collection of historical relics!

As you search for this history, you'll be taken on a hunt for buried treasure that you can continue after the quest, with unique rewards awaiting you at the end. Although this quest is aimed at mid-level players, we hope higher level players will enjoy piecing together some of the early tales of Ardougne, as well as the chance to wield a new kind of weapon.

So how about it, are you talented enough to make history?

Other small changes

The 6th Barrow Wight

Upon opening the chest at the end of the Barrows, you will now be confronted by the 6th Wight brother. This will save players having to run backwards and forwards through doors to try and encounter him.

Agility shortcuts

Agility potions will now help players use all of the agility shortcuts we added earlier in the year.

I love this update. The agility potions will be pretty usefil to have.

I have a feeling that a lot pf people are going to complain more about the barrows. They are going to say that Jagex is making the game more easier and more easier as time goes on. Even with not having to go through the door a few times to get the last brother to appear, the barrows is just as hard. It will only take a few minutes less.

Great update.

Sounds brilliant, especially the agility pot things, now I can use that slayer tower one. :-D

Wonder what the quest reward shall be?
Also, the barrows thing;

Last time I went, i didnt get the last brother, I went through the doors for 14 prayer pots. -.- then ran out with my rewards...

Finally we can pot for the agility shortcuts

And the Barrows thing seems quite useful, even though I don't bother with the Barrows anymore, it was quite frustrating finding the elusive 6th brother!

Quest is average, still, kept me amused.

Overall a nice update, I'd say 4/5

One thing about everyone fighting at the chest means that's where the majority of people will die which means people will be running to hget their stuff and they will die also.

It's ok, the quest I hear is made for level 30s so that's not really great. The agility thing doesn't effect me very much and I rarely do barrows, but its a pain to find the 6th brother so...

3/5

ware is the chest?

Dave · **Posted:** November 22nd, 2005, 4:31 pm

The chest is in the middle of that barrows underground maze. Go try barrows and see if ya can find it.

zante4950 · **Posted:** November 22nd, 2005, 4:34 pm

cool, but the new god weapons are just mjolnirs, and they really suck :cry:

thief18954 · **Posted:** November 23rd, 2005, 9:50 pm

The "Mjolnirs" can be found in random chests all across Runescape. You should check out Enkidutorix's guide on the new quest. I got the Guthix Mjolnir on my second chest. :shock:

zante4950 · **Posted:** November 24th, 2005, 6:37 am

the barrows can still pop up as ur walking thro the tunnel but if it doesnt u can open chest and its there
