Runescape Update: Soul Wars

Guide Will be coming soon...
Jagex have just updated runescape and released soul wars, it looks like it will be good although I won’t know til tomorrow when I get a chance to check it out as I’m heading off to bed after this post. :( I like the mini updates as well, the timing with Bert use to get annoying when trying to get the daily sand from him. The free access to brimhaven dungeon for level 3 gloves looks good too, saves a inventory space per trip :) It will be interesting to see what else has been updated to the seers village diary rewards. I’m not all that interested in the quick chat update as I never use it anyway. I’ll let you guys know how I go tomorrow with soul wars. Have fun. :)

A mystical portal has opened in Edgeville, leading to the lands beyond Tirannwn’s western shore. Any players who venture through will find themselves at the site of Soul Wars - a new, members-only minigame involving fierce combat, territory control and your Slayer skills!

If you’ve played Castle Wars you will be on familiar ground with Soul Wars. Like Castle Wars it’s a quick, fun, team game that you can play on any server…but it’s three times the size! Soul Wars is also a safe game, so you don’t have to worry about losing any of your favourite gear.

Once you enter the Soul Wars area you will meet Nomad, who controls the battlefield with his unfortunate minion Zimberfizz. He will show you the workings of the Soul Obelisk, how the giant avatars function, and the basics of territorial domination. Being something of an adventurer, Nomad is prepared to give rewards to players who get involved: sharing his charm collection, offering combat and Slayer training, and even bringing back the souls of Slayer creatures you may have found on your travels.

Summary:
Where to start Soul Wars: Enter the portal in Edgeville and speak to Nomad.

Requirements: None, but decent combat levels and Slayer are recommended!

In other news…

You can now collect sand from Bert at the same time every day. The 24-hour restriction has been shortened slightly so you won’t have to go later each time

The rewards for the Seers’ Village Achievement Diary have been tweaked and increased; for details, please read the original article.

The hard reward for the Karamja Achievement Diary will now grant free access (when worn) to the Brimhaven Dungeon.

Additions have been made to Quick Chat that should make it easier for players to converse with Player Moderators, and ask any questions they may have.
