They’re back! The Wilderness and free trade both make a triumphant return this month after the biggest vote in our 10-year history...but they are not alone. If you’re not gambling fortunes on the GE or risking life and limb in our new revenant dungeon, why not try this month’s quest: The Prisoner of Glouphrie? Don’t forget to take along a brand new pottery urn, collect some demon ashes and make use of the improved shortcuts along the way!
The Wilderness and Free Trade
Our first update this month will see the return of the Wilderness and free trade! If you’re not sure what we’re talking about...where have you been, hiding under your pet rock? There has been a huge referendum where over 1.2 million players voted, 91% of whom were in favour of the return of the Wilderness and free trade. What does this mean? Well, in a nutshell, it means that you will soon be able to give gifts to your friends, charge what you like for your Grand Exchange sales, and take part in the most dangerous sport in the whole of RuneScape: Wildy PKing!
If you need to know more about how PKing and free trade works, read the new Wilderness and free trade starter guides in the Game Guide. PKing can be great fun and can bring you huge rewards, but only ever PK with gear you can afford to lose – there won’t be a gravestone there to protect your stuff. You have been warned!
Other changes brought in with the return of the Wilderness and free trade includes:
* The new, revenant-filled Forinthry Dungeon, where the revenants drop all the unique PvP gear previously found on the PvP and Bounty Hunter Worlds.
* Limitless staking for members.
* Improved Chaos Elemental drops (and a chaotic new look).
* Faster respawn times on the Wilderness runite rocks.
* Unlimited party room drops.
* Outside of the Wilderness, gravestones will have their timers increased and repair/bless costs reduced to 0.
