Runescape News Article

Some adventurers never retire, but, as they get older, they learn the value of teamwork. Veteran adventurer Xenia has seen some Zamorakian cultists take a prisoner into the catacombs beneath Lumbridge Church, but she wants another adventurer to join her before she heads in after them. Xenia was there when the catacombs were built, so she knows something about the dark secrets that they contain. If the cultists have discovered those same secrets, then their prisoner will be only the first of many victims. It's up to you to stop them.

The Blood Pact is the first free-to-play quest we’ve released in many years, not counting the tutorial and seasonal events. It's meant as a suitable first adventure for a brand new character. Completing the quest will reward you with a set of weapons and access to the Lumbridge Catacombs – a dungeon that’s also designed for low-level characters, full of new monsters to fight, which drop the collectable parts of a new costume item.

In other news...

With the release of The Blood Pact, there are now 300 Quest Points available in the game. If you have the full 300 points, make sure you speak to Xenia again after completing The Blood Pact, as she has a special reward to help you show off your dedication to quests. Unlike the Quest Cape, the new item's requirements will stay fixed at 300 Quest Points even after new quests are released – once you can wear it, you can wear it forever.

Weapons with a high-enough slash attack can now cut through webs. These are items such as the whip, Dharok's axe, the dragon 2h and battleaxe, godswords, Guthan's spear and the staff of light.



My Review of this update.
I have yet to do this quest but please do it and fill us all in on it. The new quest is a new stepping stone for runescape it is the 300th quest the reward for getting the 300 quest points is pretty sweet I will not spoil it but you will see.

It's great to see that while the team are committed to the content of RS for the paying members, it's good to see them look back and do a little something for the "free loaders" (free playing players :P ). When I first started to read the update I was thinking that this had to have been a long time since a quest was made for the free players. I wonder if this is it again for a while or if there maybe something more a little later in the year. All in all i have not done the new quest yet but i guess when I'm in that area again I'll take 5 and go check it out. B)


Hey if you are doing or going to do the quest, take some screen shots and either post them or email them to me or ice and we can add them here.
