Fremmenik sagas and SOF spins with completed quests

Those making their way into Daemonheim’s depths can now experience two new Fremennik Sagas:

Nadir

The enigmatic Moia has been tasked with tracking down the missing Mahjarrat Bilrach. Her long search has led her to Daemonheim, where rumours abound that the citadel’s overlord (known to its inhabitants as “Bill”) has disappeared deep into the darkness below. Use Moia’s unique abilities to masquerade as the various inhabitants of the stronghold and to infiltrate Daemonheim, unlocking the hidden depths of her power and uncovering the shadowy secrets at the fortress’s heart.

Getting Moia to her goal in one piece will earn you Dungeoneering XP and tokens. Gathering all the information that you can from the inhabitants of Daemonheim and using this to slip in unhindered will earn you yet more Dungeoneering XP and tokens, as well as a choice of Attack or Thieving XP.



How to start Nadir:

Obtain the Damaged Device within Daemonheim, and then speak to Skaldrun on Daemonheim Peninsula. You will only be able to find the item if you meet the following requirements:

30 Dungeoneering

You must be a current RuneScape member.

The item can only be found on the first set of furnished floors (18-22).


To complete the unabridged saga, you must also meet the following requirements:

55 Dungeoneering

45 Thieving

60 Attack


Thok Your Block Off

Following on from their adventures in Thok It To ‘Em, Thok and Marmaros are starting to make real headway into Daemonheim. Thok’s manly pride is in jeopardy as Marmaros has thrown down the gauntlet: whoever gets the most kills on their current dungeon floor is officially the best brother of the two. To make matters worse, Thok’s lost his favourite sword! You’ll control Thok as he marauds through the dungeon, packing only his furious fists and aiming to emerge the winner in this fraternal fracas.

Completing the saga will earn you a sizeable chunk of Dungeoneering XP, as well as some Dungeoneering tokens. Those fully exploring every locked room and beating Marmaros at his own game will experience the full ending, and will earn a bicep-flexing amount of Strength XP on top of the initial reward.



How to start Thok Your Block Off:



Find the Rock and Twine Bundle within Daemonheim, and then speak to Skaldrun on Daemonheim Peninsula. You will only be able to find the item if you meet the following requirements:

65 Dungeoneering

You must be a current RuneScape member.

The item can only be found on the first set of occult floors (36-40).


You’ll need to have completed Thok It To ‘Em before you’ll be able to start Thok Your Block Off, although you’ll still be able to find the Rock and Twine Bundle if you haven’t, as long as you meet the other requirements.

To complete the unabridged version of the saga, you will also need the following:

75 Strength



Mod Giragast

In Other News

If you haven’t already, be sure to take a look at our latest Lores & Histories story, The Rimebound Letters, which gives three first-hand accounts of Daemonheim shortly after Bilrach’s descent.

The Easter 2012 event has now been removed from the game.



SPINS WITH QUESTS

As promised, we’re now giving spins on the Squeal of Fortune with every quest completed, for free players and members alike.

From today onwards, whenever you complete any quest listed here, you will receive 2 spins – in addition to the ordinary quest reward, of course - added directly onto your count of earned spins.

Any quest found in your quest list that you’ve either not started (displayed in red) or not completed (displayed in yellow) is eligible to earn you spins. You’ll still get spins for completing newer versions of quests that we’ve replaced (such as Gunnar’s Ground, or the new versions of Wolf Whistle, Druidic Ritual and Death Plateau), even if you’ve completed the old versions. However, you won’t get spins for completing unlisted mini-quests (such as Alfred Grimhand’s Bar Crawl), for claiming post-quest rewards (such as Tears of Guthix), or for completing Fremennik Sagas.

If you’ve yet to delve into questing, it’s a better time than ever to start. There are hundreds of hours of story-based content on offer with some awesome rewards, and now more spins as icing on the cake. Take a look here for ideas of where to find an adventure to suit you. Even if you’re an experienced conqueror of quests, there’s now more reason than ever to clear up the ones you never got around to finishing, and perhaps even to aim for the quest point cape.

Don’t forget: while free players have access to 19 quests, becoming a RuneScape member opens up over 160 members-only quests, along with a range of other amazing content.

For reasons related to the balance of the RuneScape economy, we’re unable to retroactively offer spins for quests already completed. Keep an eye out for new quest content in the coming months, though.

If you have any further questions, take a look at our FAQ.

Players already with quest capes or just a bunch of quests done wont get spins from them

Oh how nice, I got a non botted account with a quest cape, but Jagex only gives free spins to those who finish quests after this bloody update.

..I just lost loads of free cash and xp.

I can confirm that for both lobby log-out and proper logout, at least for one day.

I confirm.. the last one wasn't so bad but the Nadir one omg.. When you get to the last Checkpoint in that saga it gets annoying as hell man. The part where you have to mage everything including rangers LOLOL.

Saw soo many ppl dying and starting over the saga. What I did was die once on purpose so that I spawn with full everything. Go in immediately, kill all, go back, heal, go further in, kill all, go back one room to heal, and keep repeating LOL at the end I had like 3 free portals to drain ;)

I don't support the wheel to begin with, but as someone with 140+ completed quests the lack of retroactive spins upsets me.

I didn't die, but the first 2 times I got 90%. The problem I had was i didnt know i was supposed to be keeping my portal energy up or whatever its called…so dumb.

First off, I think the new saga is completely a waste of an update. Secondly, I would love 200+ spins from my quest cape -_- C'MON JAGEX
