    (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:

    • - Top level: Tekton, Jewelled Crabs, Scavenger beasts, Ice demon, Lizardman shamans, resource room
    • - Middle level: Vanguards, Thieving room, Scavenger beasts, Vespula, resource room, Tightrope room
    • - Lower level: Guardians, Vasa Nistirio, Scavenger beasts, Skeletal mystics, Muttadiles, resource room

    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.
