This week in RuneScape is all about a new adventure: 'Among the Sands of Scabara'. In this chapter, players return to the Kharidian desert to fend off the dangers of Amascut's Exterminators and uncover the secret of a long-hidden god. The adventure picks up where the previous chapters left off and once again challenges players to prove their strength and wits.

This adventure is the first in a three-part series that will complete the comprehensive desert story. The culmination of these experiences will be a final clash with Amascut later this year. As the storyline is based on previous quests, players will need some preparation and prior knowledge to best prepare for the new challenges.

In addition to the new quest, various game adjustments and bug fixes have been made. For example, the level requirements for crafting divine woodcutting resources have been adjusted. The level required to craft divine oaks has been lowered from 21 to 13, while divine yew trees now have a level requirement of 71 instead of 62.

Another update concerns the crossbows in the game: The damage values of the primal crossbows have been capped to improve balancing. In addition, several bugs related to the woodcutting system and certain equipment have been fixed. Players who have unlocked the special ability to store birds' nests in the wooden box can now ensure that these nests are prioritized in the box.

Another highlight of the update concerns the treasure hunter mode: The 'Crystal Capsules' event will start on January 14, followed by the 'Rainbow Path' on January 16, where players can collect special rewards.

In addition to the game content, there are also numerous community activities. The "Pink Skirts" are once again organizing various events where players can come together and master special challenges. These include learning events for Vorago and Nex as well as a dungeoneering team-building event in Daemonheim.

The community team is also highlighting creative contributions. For example, the player Siroquois has published an illustrated comic for the story 'Needle Leap', which has been enthusiastically received by other players.
