This was a bit of an experiment in quest creation. We had a couple of new devs (mod Cano and Mod Desert) who worked on this and a good chunk was done in my free time. So hopefully you enjoy it.

This is amazing. THere is nothing I love more than questing, although I'm starting to like PVM too, especially the EDs. Now there is both a new ED and a new quest, amazing.

(Was just about to start complaining about the lack of quests)

Thank you! Very important, is it recommended I do this quest first or ED3 first for the full story experience?

I would personally.

The quest first.

Do you recommend to do the quest before doing ED1 & 2 if you're in the position of having not done them yet?

Personally, yes, but it's not vital.

Do you need to visit any of the Elite Dungeons during the quest?

Yes. But any mode works, including story and group story.

I know a big part of the community doesn’t care for quests anymore, but when I started playing back in 04/05 questing was my favourite part of the game, and it still is now! Thank you and to Cano and Desert for trying new things and putting your own free time into still creating fun enjoyable content.

The experiment absolutely paid off, this was the best quest since Children of Mah. Felt like an old style quest like While Guthix Sleeps, where we get to gallivant around the world tying bits and pieces together and doing what Runescape story does best - mixing the awesome and the absurd. Where else do we get to stop an undying monster AND save a seagull marriage at the same time? You outdid yourself Raven.

Thank you and everyone who worked on it, it was FANTASTIC!

Glad you enjoyed it. :)

The tortle part was cruel. I spent about 30 minutes hunting tortles cause I thought you needed to actually hunt them to get the message.

I put weird indigestion messages on the tortle and there was no hunting requirement on the quest....

I'm looking at the opinions now as to whether it's worth doing more secret stuff like this currently. Honestly at the moment it doesn't seem like the value in secrecy is worth it, but I enjoyed keeping it secret so might do more stuff like that just for that reason. :D

Surprise quests are great. I like how this quest was used to flesh out the already interesting plot of the Ed's. Well done!

Glad you enjoyed it. :)

The quest is bugged. Some of us can't complete it. We're to the very end where we need to talk to Bryll at the war table but she isn't there. We can talk to her at her regular spot and talk about the quest and she says they're all ready to go, but nothing. Pleaaaase fix it.

I believe this has been fixed now, but if not can you send a bug report using the in game feature. I'm not sure how you've ended up in that situation and I'll need to see account stats to track it down a bit more.

I noticed there is no mention of the quest anywhere in the news. Is it meant as a surprise for players to discover on their own?

Just starting the quest reset my progress at Aminishi. Didn't expect that. Not sure I wanted that to happen. It took me forever to get past the guardian.

The quest doesn't reset anything....

I've been at Masuto for a month or so. After starting the quest, I teled to the dungeon entrance through max guild. When I clicked on the dungeon entrance I was not given the usual option to start where I left off but instead was given the option to choose normal mode or story mode. Again, I've been continuing from the same spot for a while always getting the option to continue where I left off. That changed after starting the quest.

Not sure what to say other than that but that's what happened.

Did you attempt one of the other dungeons in between this? Because that would reset the progress on your Aminishi run.

The quest doesn't touch dungeon progress, only references it.
