0s of all the many story lines found in
2s RuneScape few are as memorable as the
4s mazerat series and of all of the quests
6s in that series none are as iconic as
8s while guic sleeps originally released in
10s 2008 this Quest set a new standard for
13s storytelling in RuneScape now in 2024
16s while Gothic sleeps is finally coming to
18s old school at long last you'll be able
20s to re-experience this epic adventure as
22s you set out to try and stop a deadly
24s maurat from obtaining a powerful
26s artifact unlike any other but don't get
28s too comfortable anyone who's played
30s desert Treasure 2 will already know that
32s the majat storyline is taking its own
33s path in old school as such you can
36s expect various changes to the original
37s Quest keep it in line with our vision
39s for this story along with various
41s quality of life improvements to ensure
42s that it matches up to the standards of a
44s modern quest to say any more about these
46s changes would be a spoiler but one thing
48s we can talk about today is new rewards
50s when it launched back in 2008 while
52s Gothic sleeps introduced to us the
54s unforgettable tormented demons along
56s with their iconic drop the dragon claws
58s however when it comes to bringing the
60s this quest to old school that leaves us
62s with a bit of a problem Dragon claws
64s have been in the game since the release
65s of the chambers of zerich and many of
67s the iconic aspects of tormented demons
69s have since been used across other
70s creatures most notably the Demonic
72s Gorillas with this in mind we need to
74s take a new approach when it comes to the
75s rewards on offer from this grandmas
77s Quest now it's important to note that
79s we're still in the early days on this
81s but we're keen to share our ideas with
83s you nice and early so that we can ensure
85s they the direction you want us to take
87s firstly regarding tormented demons
89s themselves with how iconic they are
91s we're still very keen for these
92s creatures to be one of the rewards
94s offered from while Gothic sleeps but
96s that leaves us with some important
97s questions to answer should they retain
99s their original mechanics or should they
100s have something new should we move Dragon
102s claws to drop from them instead of
104s coming from chambers of zerich right now
106s our thinking is that we give them new
108s mechanics and new drops to set them
110s apart from similar content but we'd like
112s to know what you think next and perhaps
114s more exciting is a brand new reward the
116s rights of balance before we get into
118s them though let's talk about the ruin
120s Powers most people will be familiar with
122s the ruinous Powers a new prayer book
124s that was originally going to be offered
125s as a reward from Desert Treasure 2
127s unfortunately after multiple stages of
130s refinement we made the decision not to
131s move forward with them however we
133s promised to later revisit both them and
135s new prayers in general and that's
137s exactly what we're doing with the rights
138s of balance the intention with the rights
140s of balance is to do something a bit
142s different from the ruinous Powers rather
144s than a whole new prayer book we'd like
146s to introduce something called God
147s alignments the idea is that God
149s alignment prayers or a small set of
151s prayers that are part of your main
152s prayer book the prayers vary depending
154s on your current God alignment but you
156s can only be aligned to one God at a time
158s the idea originally came from a popular
160s player suggestion that we absolutely
161s loved and with while Gothic sleeps we're
163s hoping to introduce the first God
164s alignment in the form of some goth xium
166s prayers the rights of balance but of
168s course a god alignment system with only
170s one alignment would be quite boring so
172s we're already thinking about what the
173s other alignments could focus on and yes
175s that includes introducing the Zer roian
177s alignment as an additional reward from
179s Desert Treasure 2 so there you have it
181s the return of runescape's most iconic
182s Quest along with an exciting selection
184s of new rewards and if that wasn't enough
186s we also have another iconic meat Quest
188s making a comeback many of you will have
190s already noted that we're missing one key
192s requirement for while Gothic sleeps in
194s old school so we're happy to confirm
195s that defender of varok will also be
197s making its return this year just like
199s with while Gothic sleeps this will be
201s the defender of varok you know and love
203s but with various changes to account for
204s the future direction of the Maat story
206s line along with a range of quality of
207s life improvements as well and with that
210s all that's left to say is thank you and
211s we look forward to sharing more
213s information with you very
222s soon
