This week's update is a two-parter. Today, we release a massive batch of auras, including all-new options and higher-tiered versions of some old favourites.Then, from 00:00 UTC on 27th October, Gauntlet of Souls breaks free of its shackles and shambles forth from RuneLabs lasting through the Halloween period for two weeks. As well as its spectacularly spooky new environment, there are some great rewards including a Kharidian cat pet, gravestone overrides and XP-giving herb burner.
Read on to find out more!
New Auras
Brand new auras are now available via Xuan's Loyalty Store or Solomon's Store.
The following come in five tiers, all with benefits ranging from 3-15%:
- Dedicated Slayer | Slayer kills have a chance not to reduce your assignment count
- Flameproof | Reduces chance of burning food
- Focused Siphoning |Increases chance of successful siphoning at the Runespan
- Reckless | Boosts ranged damage and accuracy, at the cost of defence

- Brawler | Increases melee accuracy
- Wisdom | Supreme and Legendary tiers, with duration increased to 60 and 90 minutes

How to Start Enter the soul rift by Burthorpe's lodestone from 00:00 UTC (game time) on 27th October Requirements None Other Information Combat is safe, with scaling NPCs. The event is accessible to Ironman players.
Forged in the baleful fires of Cinderquill's RuneLabs suggestion, this year's Halloween event takes you on a journey to the Underworld aiding Icthlarin against the depredations of Amascut.
Jump in the boats to start rescuing souls from the river. Occasionally, special souls will spawn that will grant you XP, in a skill determined by the type collected.
Once 20 souls have been collected, you'll be able to to escort the souls across the bridge, fending off Amascut's devourer beasts along the way, using your combat or divination powers.
Note that fighting the devourer beasts gives no XP so there's no risk of earning any unwanted combat XP.
Every 15 minutes, the Avatar of Amascut will spawn, and must be defeated. Team up and take the beast down!
Rewards
You'll earn Noumenon Favour for participating in the event. Also, skilling or training combat on the surface world during the event will occasionally spawn a lost spirit. Calm these spirits for XP, then hand them in to Sinn Derkwill in the Underworld for Noumenon Favour.
This can be spent on some unique rewards:
- Kharidian cat pet.
- XP lamp: usable on the skill of your choice.
- Death animation override: Be dragged to the Underworld by a devourer beast. This can be toggled at Death's house.
- Herb burner: this placeable item can be used to burn herbs for 10x the XP gained from cleaning them. Note that the rate at which this is done is not the same as cleaning herbs.
- Gravestone overrides: these resemble the jackal and lioness statues seen in the Underworld, and can be selected or deselected at the Keldagrim shop.
Have Fun!
Enjoy the event and new auras, and let us know your thoughts over on the forums.

- Dedicated Slayer: er is een kans dat de teller van je slayertaak niet omlaag gaat.
- Flameproof: verlaagt de kans dat je voedsel verbrandt.
- Focused Siphoning: verhoogt de kans op siphonen in Runespan.
- Reckless: verhoogt Ranged-schade en accuraatheid ten koste van Defence

Members en gratis spelers kunnen bij de soul rift bij de lodestone van Burthorpe het Halloween-evenement doen. Ironmans kunnen ook meedoen. Dit evenement is gebaseerd op een suggestie in Runelabs. Vechten is veilig, geeft geen xp en het schaalt mee met je levels.
In het evenement ga je naar de onderwereld, waar je Icthlarin helpt zielen uit de rivier te redden voor ze worden verzwolgen door zijn zuster Amascut. Zo nu en dan komen er speciale zielen die je xp geven in een skill die wordt bepaald door het type van de ziel. Als je twintig zielen hebt verzameld, kun je ze over de brug escorteren. Onderweg sla je beesten van Amascut af met gevechten of Divination.
Iedere vijftien minuten zal de Avatar van Amascut verschijnen, die samen met anderen verslagen moet worden.
Door mee te doen krijg je Noumenon favour. Tijdens het trainen van skills in de bovenwereld kan er ook een lost spirit verschijnen, die je kunt claimen voor xp en vervolgens bij Sinn Derkwill in de onderwereld kunt omzetten tot Noumenon favour. Je kunt hiermee het volgende aanschaffen:
- Kharidian cat pet
- XP-lamp in een skill naar keuze
- Sterfanimatieoverride, waarbij je door een devourer beast naar de onderwereld wordt gesleept. Kun je bij het huis van de dood aan- en uitzetten.
- Herb burner, die je neer kunt zetten en waarmee je herbs kunt verbranden voor tien maal de schoonmaak-xp. De snelheid is anders dan bij schoonmaken.
- Grafsteenoverrides in de vorm van de jakhals- en het leeuwinnebeeld in de onderwereld. Kun je aan- en uitzetten bij de winkel in Keldagrim.
