Sixth Age novice quest with additional high-level rewards - members only
Continue the story of the Sixth Age with Missing, Presumed Death. This quest is the first of an all-new series, featuring supernatural sleuthing; famous faces aplenty; scaled combat against the walking dead; full voice acting and a coffin-load of cool rewards suitable for all levels.
Missing, Presumed Death sets the scene for what will be one of the Sixth Age's core storylines. RuneScape lore fiends: you won't want to miss this!
At Death's Door
Brother Samwell's led a cloistered life, and it could never have prepared him for this.
He's the sole survivor of a horrific massacre - his fellow Saradominist monks lying dead around him. To make matters worse, their souls are trapped in the mortal world, unable to pass into the afterlife.
You'll team up with Icthlarin - god of the Underworld - to get to the bottom of this macabre mystery, searching for clues and questioning witnesses to deduce what has happened here. Who killed these defenceless monks? Why did they leave one alive? Where is Death, who should be freeing these souls from their fetters? And why does it feel like this is the start of something greater and more terrifying than the world has ever seen?
Your Adventure
You'll travel far from the green grass of Gielinor, encountering allies and enemies - gods and mortals alike. While the quest has no entry requirements, quests that you have completed may feature, as will your actions during the Battle of Lumbridge, your choice of god emissary, and more.
We heartily recommend that you play Missing, Presumed Death right away. You won't miss any rewards or core content by doing so, and you'll enjoy an experience that's truly authentic to your character. Your past feats will be reflected and acknowledged throughout the quest's course, so more than any content before, this will be your adventure.
You'll explore a spectacular new area and face challenges of mind and body: solving riddles, traversing obstacles, and battling the walking dead. Combat scales to your level, so be sure to come equipped to fight. All of this is framed with lush new graphics, a magnificent musical score and full voice acting.
You Can Take It With You
Rewards include Combat, Agility and Prayer XP lamps geared towards low to mid-level players, new death animations, some unusual cosmetic headgear and the Book of the Underworld, which contains all-new lore concerning Gielinor's afterlife.
You'll also receive an item which can return you to the new area, where you can claim high-level rewards and access post-quest content. These include hearty XP lamps for players of level 75 and above in Constitution, Thieving and a skill of your choice. There are also consumable items to help you blitz through Barrows runs in record time.
Enjoy!
Missing, Presumed Death is the start of a story that will lie at the very core of the Sixth Age. Play it, enjoy it, and set the stage for RuneScape's future!

From today, the black iron ring and jewelled black iron ring are no longer available on the Squeal of Fortune. The rings will remain in-game for two weeks, after which they will disappear, so be sure to use up your charges before then. Alternatively, you can right-click and select the 'shatter' option to instantly claim 50% of an unused ring's average potential XP, destroying it in the process. Showcase costumes from one of our talented artists - Mod Ante - are on Solomon's General Store now. Head to the store to pick up the Deathless Regent and Ravenskull outfits, and read more about them here. See the patch notes for other updates released today.

Well, this is a little late, but I thought this was one of the best quests of the year and perhaps one of the best quests of the past few years. The music and voice acting were great, as was the plot. I think it would have been better if they would have prevented us from seeing inside the main room (with the gods in it), as that would have built up some suspense. Other than that, this quest was superb, and does a great job at setting the stage for the remainder of the sixth-age storyline.

Unfortunately, I won't be doing this quest anytime soon or any 6th Age quest for that matter until I catch up on other 5th Age quests first. I feel this is important to do because I don't want to do future quests without knowing the previous lore or without being able to unlock all the rewards or content for a 6th Age quest. That's the only frustrating thing about 6th Age quests at the moment for me. xD
