1st August 2005 - Waterbirth Island

Recently travellers passing through the Fremennik Province of Rellekka have mentioned some kind of commotion happening on the nearby Waterbirth Island. The normally picturesque beauty spot seems to have been overrun by a swarm of monsters, although the distrustful Fremenniks are giving little information away to outsiders.
Those adventurers wishing to take on the challenge of a mysterious new dungeon, and possibly discover some new class-specific armours, should head immediately to Rellekka and speak to Jarvald, the new ferryman on the north-western side of town, who will provide passage to Waterbirth Island for all interested in joining the battle, whether they be a Fremennik or not.

In other news...

The Enchanted Lyre teleports to Rellekka have been slightly tweaked: offerings of raw shark will now give you 2 teleports to Rellekka before your lyre needs re-enchanting, but offerings of sea turtles and manta rays will allow you 3 or 4 teleports before you need to re-enchant your lyre.

All people with enchanted lyres before this update will have their lyre upgraded to have 2 uses automatically when they next log in.

Adventurers are reporting sightings of new random events throughout RuneScape, including armies of frogs, repentant highwaymen, freaky foresters and the world's most dangerous chicken. So keep your eyes peeled for the unexpected... Details of the new events are available in the manual.

We've also made a slight improvement to the stats of splitbark armour.

I tried to kill those mage beasts with rune arrows, but it was a real pain.
They hit like 20 and when you get them low they back up and the other one starts attacking you.

I suggest cannon and mage protect.

I already got my hopes up for a lvl 300 mammoth

i wonder what the new armour is like... that place is worse than the barrows.
P.S. Can anyone tell me how to get past the doors?

Tombwarrior9 · **Posted:** August 1st, 2005, 3:32 pm

I really wanna see the new armor.

For the new random events. I just got the evil chicken. You have to use protect from magic I beleive. He dropped 73 feathers, an egg, bones and raw chicken.

Pretty evil :shock:
