The Lost Grove

09/26/2017

Heard many tales of The Lost Grove? No? That’s because it’s one of Gielinor’s oldest and most treasured secrets. Or was...until now. Sit tight, slayers, because with this update come hordes of brand new creatures to sink your blades into.

Fantastic beasts...

Let’s start small. The Lost Grove has long been the home of wisps and fairies who live in harmony with the great tree, which stands proudly in the center. Among them is Teelee: a fairy with the sacred task of appeasing the tree spirits. By helping her in our new Weekly Distraction and Diversion, Wisps of the Grove, you’ll be rewarded with Hunter and Farming XP aplenty. You’ll also be in with a chance to obtain a rare new pet, Vinny!

Time to ramp things up. These three may not look the type to go bump in the night, but don’t be fooled - they pack a nasty punch!

  • At level 104, we have Vinecrawlers. Of the three, these give you the most GP per hour.
  • Next up at level 106: Bulbous crawlers. Sitting in the middle, these are equally weighted between XP and GP gain.
  • Finally, Moss Golems stand at level 108, granting the best XP per hour of the trio.

    • As for rewards, The Lost Grove is a veritable treasure trove of secrets, loot and lore. Keep your eyes peeled in particular for the new T85 Hybrid Cinderbane gloves: a pair of deadly gauntlets that passively poison any foe you hit. Combine that with your existing weapons and you’ve a deadly P+++ poison panini.

    …And to slay them

    The task to kill the three slayer creatures is available Morvran to those with kill counts between 100 and 120, and you can access The Lost Grove by investigating the ruins on the peninsula, south of the poison waste. Why are you still reading?

    Patch Notes
