Does "year" mean Earth year or Gielinor year? It has been year 169 of fifth age on Gielinor since the release of the game.

Can you pick up void knight stuff from grave?

Technically, the classification (novice...master, grandmaster) is purely about the requirements to do the quest and the levels of the monsters in the quest. It has nothing to do with length of the quest, real life skill requirements (e.g. puzzles), storyline etc. The people who are complaining about the classification have simply misunderstood what the experience classification means. It is simply a character experience classification and nothing more. Also, the classification of a quest can never be lower than the classification of a required quest. For example, an "experienced" quest cannot require a "master" one. That's why, for example, Catapult Construction is "master". It requires Regicide, which is "master".

Exploration/adventuring (of a never ending dungeon).

Icthlarin is the demigod of the dead, not death as far as I know.

The Eastern Lands exist. Sailing doesn't and never will. However, Jagex has confirmed that they are not going to make Eastern Lands in LONG time. Prifddinas, Menaphos and Acheron will be made first. Read the Content QA from the official News&Announcements forum.

Looks like Eastern Lands has become the new "sailing".

The Zamorak symbol came supposedly from the curse which wiped Koschei's mind. If Koschei is confirmed to be Kharshai, it confirms the theory that the Mahjarrat use phylacteries (lichification) to be immortal, as long as the phylactery containing the soul of the Mahjarrat is not destroyed. (Cf. the needle of Koschei) They said that the diamonds of Azzanadra, which contained Azzanadra's soul split in 4 parts, were created by the enemies, but should you believe everything that is said to you? I think that they were created by Azzanadra himself to become almost unkillable. The diamonds were stolen by his enemies, and he lost his power, just as Koschei (of Russian mythology) loses his powers if his needle is stolen.

Well, in Slavic mythology Koschei is a lich. It points to Koschei being a Mahjarrat (Kharshai).

Mod Tytn hasn't even got FTP3 released yet. Most likely Myreque 5 is not in development. The development will start after FTP3 is released. This was stated in the content QA.

They said on the Content team QA that they are not going to make Eastern Lands before Prifddinas, Menaphos and Acheron.

Do you, or anyone else, happen to have a transcript of this? BTW, know that I'm following this thread in great detail and with great interest... <---The pen below my name isn't there just for looks Yes. 6:42 An interesting thing here is that the guardians mention the word "liche". A lich or liche is a character who has moved his soul to an external object (or multiple objects), like Voldemort in Harry Potter and Koschei the Deathless in Russian mythology. Liches have commonly large zombie armies (both Lucien and Zemouregal have attacked Varrock with zombies).

Wrong. Guthix is notably more powerful than the other gods and has been clearly referenced in the past as being able to destroy them if he so wished. Gods only have power in their area. Ergo Zamorak is Chaos - he only has power over Chaos. Bandos is war he only has power over war. Guthix is the only one with Nature and therefore is the only one hu can destory the world. Wouldn't Seren be able to destroy all the life with the power of Anima Mundi? No proof Seren has access to the Anima Mundi. It's only ever come up in Gnome stories. We reconnected a Spirit Tree to Anima Mundi with a Serenist item, crystal chimes. It's proven: Seren is the goddess of Anima Mundi.

While I understand the insight, I've sat around and watched Jagex "sculpt" these quests from clues and hints. Yes, I will give in on the notion that they reuse textures and items. However, some things they don't mess around with. The Digsite quest (which started the Zaros quest line) started 6 years ago. Plague City was just a year earlier. It's personally my opinion (and with strong evidence) that Jagex will 'merge' all of these quest lines in the game. Waterfall quest being needed for Desert Treasure, probably the most significant Zaros quest other than Temple. Cursed ghosts outside Glariel's tomb? Damis just a block over from the tomb? Too coincidental to be a coincidence. I doubt Jagex would be so unprofessional to put a Zaros symbol on Glarial's grave without meaning it. The Daeyalt "leak" is now removed, unlike the Zaros symbol. Waterfall Dungeon - Shadow Spiders (they drain prayer, like Barrows and Ancient Magicks altar) Temple of Light - Shadows Damis Dungeon - Shadow Hounds, Azzanadra's Shadow Diamond That's more evidence to the connection of Elven and Zarosian / Mahjarrat storylines. Also, the Dark Elves are trying to summon a mysterious "Dark Lord", who is rumoured to be Zamorak the Mahjarrat God, the arch-enemy of Zaros. [spoiler=Sliske theory] Because of the shadow monsters in the Temple of Light, my theory is that Thorgel the dwarf is one of the forms in which we have seen Sliske, the Zarosian Mahjarrat, who delves the "shadows" and has strong shapeshifting abilities. Dwarves can't use magic without being combined with ogres (result: Chaos Dwogre). For a dwarf, Thorgel knows way too much about magic to be a real dwarf. Sliske is much more skilled with shapeshifting than the other Mahjarrat, so most likely we have met Sliske in multiple different forms (Thorgel being one of them). If the "Dark Lord" is Zamorak, Sliske has a motive to plot against the Dark Elves. The regular grave stones have the axis balanced. Regular = (+) Zaros = (X) I looked at a screenshot of the Salarin dungeon graves. There is a + in circle. They may not be Zarosian graves. However, the symbol on Glarial's grave is exactly like Zaros symbol (x in a circle). The whole shadows angle fits well, but again, Shadow Spiders are very old. It's coincidental. Also, I don't think that the Waterfall Quest is actually considered part of the elf storyline, just like the Dwarf Cannon quest involves dwarves but isn't part of the main dwarf quest line. I know for a fact that I've seen the same grave in other places, such as the wilderness graveyards, a hill in the wilderness, Ardougne ghetto, and in generally older areas. The examine is something like "They must have really cared for the inhabitant"... To say that they are not 'unprofessional enough' to put that there is also a leap of faith. The most recent example would be them using the Vengeance animation in Within the Light! Vengeance is a high level spell and reusing its highly unique animation seems unprofessional to me. The reason that the mine carts were changed and not this could be one of two things. The first would be that all they had to do was change the examine for the mine carts. The other could be that since so few people visit Glarial's Tomb, and even fewer are paying attention to such details during the quest, it has simply been overlooked. Mourning's End II doesn't have what could be considered an essential reward like Roving Elves does (Crystal Bow) meaning that more people would play through Roving Elves simply for the reward than they would Mourning's End II. Roving Elves is a sequel to Waterfall, yet the new developer of the elf series considers RE a part of the main series. Jagex had "the North" planned when they released Hazeel Cult in 2002: Hazeel talks about going North if you choose Hazeel's side. Mod Mark also said on the forums that they had the Stone of Jas planned during RSC times. In Temple of Ikov, another RuneScape Classic quest (the first Mahjarrat quest, by the way), the Armadyl Guardians mention Azzanadra, the Mahjarrat who was revealed in Desert Treasure (RS2) quest much later. So, saying that the Shadow Spiders are old doesn't really matter. Vengeance is not a god symbol, so it can be reused without creating a religious connection. But wasn't it the Lunar Clan who created all the RC altars? Vengeance uses death runes, so it actually makes sense to have the same animation on the death altar. Here's an example of another "Zarosian" grave. They are near the Ectofunctus and farming area of Morytania. BUT, if you look closely, it isn't the same Zarosian symbol as on the Ancient Staff and the Zarosian player gravestone. They are actually Celtic Crosses, which can be found on real life graves too. Glarial's grave is probably the only grave where there REALLY is a Zaros symbol (8-pointed) instead of a Celtic cross (4-pointed). If you think it's a mistake, you should report it to Jagex. Why do people think that merging storylines is somehow unlikely, even though Jagex has done it before. While Guthix Sleeps is a good example of a quest with merged storylines. If Zamorak really is the Dark Lord, the Elf and Mahjarrat series will merge very likely. There are Dragonkin/Stone of Jas symbols in Spirit Realm of the castle near Wilderness demonic ruins. Do you think these are coincidence too? The castle already has a confirmed connection to the WGS storyline.

Here's a big screenshot of the tomb of Glarial the Elven Queen.

Remember the Zaros symbol on Glarial's tomb? Why does a Serenist have the symbol of Zaros on her grave?

Only Tale of Muspah, Missing My Mummy, Curse of Arrav and The Temple at Senntisten are Mysteries of the Mahjarrat quests. The others are other Mahjarrat quests, previously unrelated but will be merged by MOTM series.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IvgZpFqD50 The end cutscene is the best part of the quest. There was no Sliske in the quest. Didn't they say in QA that Sliske would be revealed in part 4?

It's Ghorrock.

The QA was AFTER Curse of Arrav, so it means that we'll get another Mysteries of the Mahjarrat quest this year. Since Fairy Tale just went to QA, the next quest is most likely MOTM.

To be honest i don't think that's a good thing, the quest will most likely be awesome, but i want the conclusion to the Myreque series (one quest left) rather than the conclusion of FairyTale, but it's a good thing seeing JaGeX finally finishing their storylines (only took them 5-6 years). I couldnt place him before you said he worked on the myreque quests. I expect great things. :thumbup: I would also like to see the ending of the myreque quest, but I doubt it will end anytime soon. We still havent entered castle drakan, explored the area and houses in front of the castle, north of Meyerditch. There is also loads of black space for a big vampire city to the east of there. If anything, im expecting 3 more myreque quests. Well, my memory might be a bit off-place but i think in the Main page article of the last myreque quest (legacy of seergaze) they said it was only one more quest tile the storyline end, i might check it later. Nothing about the next Myreque quest being the final one in the newspost. It seems that the series will merge to the WGS series. The elves with their "Dark Lord" too.

German hint. Google translation: Maybe Sherlock Holmes could find the teaser. It could be about Sliske, whose actions can be seen in world's smallest details, or about the "assalted" peanuts of the latest Chaos Elemental suitcase. We have been promised a quest next week. Some guy on Youtube found a pipe and a magnifying glass from RS models.
