Happy Holidays, Zaros! The staff team here hopes you all had a fantastic time slaying goblins, cutting yews, eating turkey, and connecting with loved ones. After a long-awaited launch, and working hard to ensure that the server was stable, the development team took a short Christmas break and are now back to deliver the updates you've all been waiting for! Without further ado, let's begin.
Nightmare of Ashihama
The long awaited group boss is finally here!
The Nightmare of Ashihama can now be woken up from her everlasting slumber. Upon disturbing her, players will be pulled into her dream world, which consists of a fight arena. The Nightmare is known for giving her victims horrible nightmares until their life force is completely drained. Do you have what it takes to defeat her?
While there are no requirements to fight The Nightmare, it's quite challenging so make sure to team up with some friends before taking her on.
If you were to die, you can collect your items from Shura. Make sure you collect them before dying again, or they'll be lost forever! This isn't a safe boss, hardcore status will be lost on death.
Remember that we’re running an event alongside this release, you can find more info about the event on our launch thread

Bounty Hunter
Bounty Hunter has made its way to Zaros! In this new Wilderness upgrade, you can be randomly assigned a target that is within your combat bracket. If you manage to defeat your target with an emblem in your inventory and risking at least 100K in items or coins, you might find yourself with a shiny new emblem to trade with Death for Blood Money. If you do not have an emblem to upgrade, a chance at a new tier 1 will be dropped for you.
Some important aspects of Bounty Hunter include:
- The chance of an upgrade or new emblem is dependent on your opponents risk, and the tier they are holding
- You are required to risk at least 100K in items or coins to receive an upgrade
- Upon killing your target, you will receive a 20 second pile-jumping (PJ) immunity
- You have a chance to gain a T1 Emblem on a wilderness slayer task, and if you complete your task, you have another chance to upgrade your emblem
The Blood Money reward for Emblems is as follows:
+ Antique emblem (tier 1) - 10 blood money
+ Antique emblem (tier 2) - 20 blood money
+ Antique emblem (tier 3) - 40 blood money
+ Antique emblem (tier 4) - 80 blood money
+ Antique emblem (tier 5) - 150 blood money
+ Antique emblem (tier 6) - 240 blood money
+ Antique emblem (tier 7) - 350 blood money

The Theatre of Blood
Towards the east of Gielinor, located within the Sanguinesti region, is Ver Sinhaza. Once the home of Queen Efaritay, it is now ruled over by Verzik Vitur, head of the Vitur family and one of the few true-born vampyres on Gielinor. For millennia, Lady Verzik has commanded an army of vampyres whom she has not only used to do her biddings, but also provide her with on-demand entertainment. It didn't take long before this became tiresome, and so she instructed her followers to create a gauntlet filled with some of the strongest warriors, creations and creatures. This is what we call today the Theatre of Blood.

I would +1 this, as it would also more closely align the playing field to a level position. I would hope that no-one who's posted singling out construction would be found in opposition of these changes - they have the same merits, after all.
Averaging 20+ hours of playtime (which does not include splashing the other 4 when possible) a day - it still took me a full day's worth of high effort focus to get this grind done. Construction is about to be made not only cheaper but also faster -- it only makes sense to extend the courtesy to other players for the other skills.
Please note we're still waiting on David's input and we're only brainstorming here. The proposed change to Construction is not set in stone yet. -
Just now, November said:
My t3 Bench was a pretty time consuming yet cheap method, it was not as much XP as Planks but it was for sure way cheaper, not sure why it was 'nerfed' as it didn't need nerfing ( 4k molten glass for normal rates and like 20k molten glass for x8 rates )
Because our experience rates are supposed to be your gamemodes rate * OSRS experience.
Crafting Benches were supposed to grant 1 and 2 experience respectively, this was a bug. -
Just now, Bunny said:
I quite like the idea of removing the 10x modifier. Would appreciate it a lot if this could be considered. I would happily support that, cause it would bring the playing ground a lot closer to fair than it is right now. Appreciate the time you took into reading/commenting on this. 🙂
Of course! Obviously I'm not happy that a bug was available in the game that was abusable, and I'm furthermore upset that solving this bug disrupted not only a competition but a thought-to-be efficient way of training a particular skill.
Like I said, we're still waiting on David's input and once we have the go-ahead to move forward with an idea, we will let you know what will happen. -
Hi there,
I've been spit-balling what to do about this problem in my mind for the last little bit, and I've come to the conclusion that resetting peoples levels, or putting a bug back into the game isn't quite acceptable.
We're currently waiting on David's input into the matter before we make any moves, but to get some ideas rolling that don't involve resetting people or putting a bug back into the game, would taking away the 10x modifier on plank prices for ironmen be something we can chat about? -

Zaros Updates - Chambers of Xeric Challenge Mode [8/1/2021]
in Updates
Posted · Edited by Chaflie
(Please note the Chambers of Xeric Challenge Mode will be available at 6 PM UTC, or 18:00 Server Time)
The Chambers of Xeric's Challenge Mode is a Chambers of Xeric raid with increased difficulty. Here, players will encounter all possible bosses and rooms within the Chambers, with their combat stats increased. All the monsters within possess no new mechanics.
In order to attempt a Challenge Mode raid, party leaders must select the "Challenge Mode" box when forming a party.
Unlike the normal raid, a Challenge Mode raid is linear and contains three levels of rooms rather than the two normal levels that are randomly generated, with the final boss being the Great Olm:
While the loot players may receive from defeating the Great Olm in Challenge Mode is the same as that of a normal mode raid, the points a player will earn throughout the raid is much higher than normal. In addition, completion count for the Chambers of Xeric's Challenge Mode is counted separately from the normal raid.
Players who complete the Challenge Mode raid within a set amount of time will have a chance of receiving a twisted ancestral colour kit. They'll also have a 1/280 chance of receiving metamorphic dust, which can be used on an olmlet to allow it to metamorphose into Tektiny, Vespina, a Vanguard pet, a puppadile or Vasa Minirio. Only one metamorphic dust is required to obtain the ability to metamorphose an olmlet into all other five pets. If any additional metamorphic dusts are used on an olmlet, the metamorphic dust is used.
In addition to having a chance at a twisted ancestral colour kit, twisted horns (1/55) and metamorphic dust, completion of a Challenge Mode raid within the required time will also yield an additional 5,000 points per player for the total team points count, meaning the overall chance of obtaining a unique drop is increased should the team perform well.
The Scoreboard found in the Lobby will also now only track time records of these Challenge Mode raids.
