Old School RuneScape presents Wyrmscraig, a newly charted island created by player ScreteMonge (aka Gnome), chosen out of over 1,000 entries from the community Player-Designed Island Competition. This island promises a new quest, new activities, a new repeatable boss, and endless hours of excitement. And the best part? Jagex has announced that it’s now playable!
Jagex’s press release paints a picture of Old School RuneScape’s newest addition.
“Far across the south-west sea of Gielinor lies the secluded island of Wyrmscraig. Known to the locals as Cuil An Domainh, its rugged mountainous terrain and highly aggressive wildlife make for the perfect place for adventurers to explore. Upon arriving on its rocky shores, players will encounter the remote village of Auchrie, occupied by a tenacious community who have built a secluded life for themselves despite the harsh environment, making them wary of the rare traveller to wash ashore.”
Feeling that old urge to travel across the sea? The press release lists key features to properly prepare adventurers for their journey:
- New Quest: Fallen From Grace and New Repeatable Boss
An introduction to the island where players explore the village of Auchurie, they learn of the enigmatic Guardian of its people, The Mad Angel, whose presence may just be myth. Adventurers must learn what led this once benevolent protector to descend into madness and ascend the steps of Ardeaglais to discover the truth of her existence. Upon completion of this quest, Adventurers can test their might against the new repeatable boss, The Mad Angel, to earn themselves the valuable weapon, Hallowfell.
- New Slayer Master: Mortimer
Accessible once players have started to progress through Fallen From Grace and unlockable with 100 Combat and 70 Slayer (or 99 Slayer respectively), this new high-level slayer master puts control into players’ hands. Instead of the traditional single task assignment, Mortimer offers slayers a choice of two, with the ability to unlock three assignments to choose from as the relationship progresses; however, assignments will be more expensive to skip. As players progress, they’ll unlock powerful modifiers that appear alongside the task, granting extra rewards or benefits, depending on the assignment.
- New Activity: Golem Crafting
After completing the Fallen From Grace quest, players unlock the ability to craft new protectors for the island’s people – golems. As an alternative training method to glassblowing, crafters will mine the rocky terrain for sunstone, then sculpt the golem’s stone figure, and finally adorn it with clothing for bonus crafting experience.
- New Activity: Goat Hunting
A brand-new hunter training activity; players will need to cull the out-of-control goat population on the island by herding their prey into spike-filled pits, using spike traps that can be found on the island. Each goat successfully herded towards their doom will grant hunter experience, with a greater amount of additional hunter XP granted for every goat processed as well as the unique goat hunter pet Mr McGroot.
