WHAT IS RUNESCAPE KINGDOMS: SHADOW OF ELVARG?

RuneScape Kingdoms: Shadow of Elvarg is a cooperative campaign board game for 1-5 players, set in the fantasy world of Gielinor you know and love.
Explore from above with a game board styled like a fast-travel map, jumping from region to region as you level up your skills and complete quests. Zoom in for face-to-face encounters with iconic bosses that become even tougher as you work your way toward the final quest!

Just like in the games, you get to choose what skills to max, which weapons to craft, and even where to explore next. Meander through Gielinor sampling every side quest on the way, or keep your eyes on the prize and cut a straight path through the campaigns to take on challenging boss fights. Every group member can play their way, maxing skills to level up and earn those all-important capes! Experienced 'Scapers will recognise iconic moments and sneaky references to their favourite video game, while total newbies will be enthralled by the wide world of Gielinor and all the adventures they get to experience on their own terms.

MINIATURE REVEALS

Steamforged have developed a unique visual style for the RuneScape Kingdoms minis to reflect iconic outfits, NPCs and bosses from the past 21 years. This look is inspired by RuneScape's low-poly roots, but with all the detail you'd expect from a thoroughly modern mini.
These first four minis give a taste of that style, and we look forward to revealing more in the coming weeks!
Certain types of players may be drawn to certain minis, but remember – no matter which mini you choose
it's entirely up to you how you build your skills, select your equipment, and explore Gielinor.
KNIGHT
A melee powerhouse clad in trusty bronze armour, the knight faces every challenge with brash determination. In the eyes of the knight, there's no problem that can't be solved with a swing of their scimitar!
WIZARD
Through magic, all things are possible. Whether teleporting long distances, enchanting items with magical properties, or casting foes aside with elemental spells, the wizard is a blue-robed paragon of quick wit and explosions.
ELVARG
No hero is complete without their villainous counterpart. You'll face many challenges on the way to face the mighty green dragon, Elvarg! Take the ultimate champion's test and put an end to the winged terror of Crandor, before Gielinor is consumed by shadow and fire…
THE SKILLER
With their pickaxe, chef’s hat, and fishing rod, this mini pays homage to the many hours players have whiled away fishing for sardines and mining ore!
TWILIGHT OF THE GODS
We hope you haven’t been getting too comfortable since the events of Elder God Wars: Extinction. The final fight against Zamorak is just beyond the horizon, and the god of chaos and destruction is pulling no punches. It’s time for you to prepare with a brand-new members-only quest, launching
June 6th – Twilight of the Gods!

This lore-heavy quest is your chance to figure out what Zamorak is up to and how to stop him. It's also the only way to pick up some essential rewards for the climactic confrontation. It’s the last, absolutely necessary stop before facing the big guy himself later this summer...
It’s not all about ol’ Zam either: there are a few demon subplots to wrap up on the way, plus a return to the Dungeon of Disorder. All in all, this is gonna be a game-changer of a quest. Watch out, major lorebombs incoming!
THE QUEST
Twilight of the Gods is the perfect quest for lorehounds, taking you to the ruins of a post-war Senntisten and down into the depths of the Asylum to ally with some familiar demons. You’ll work with Saradomin to investigate Zamorak’s activities, and visit locations all over Gielinor. Plus, you’ll have to infiltrate the Dungeon of Disorder disguised as a Zamorakian cultist - that should be fun!

If that doesn't entice you, the rewards will make all the difference when you eventually fight Zamorak. Some of this stuff is absolutely crucial to winning the day, so let’s take a look at what’s on offer:
REWARDS
- Cosmetic Cultist Robes outfit
- Abyssal Demon Transmogrification Ring
- Bonuses to help you fight Zamorak:
- 5 loot reroll tokens
- The ability to gain loot reroll tokens as drops from EGWD bosses
- 10% damage reduction in the Elite dungeon and fight with Zamorak
- 30,000 Magic XP Lamp
- 30,000 Divination XP Lamp
- 3 Quest Points
REQUIREMENTS
Twilight of the Gods is a members-only quest with a few requirements. Here’s what you need to get started:
- Required skill levels
- 80 Divination
- 60 Thieving
- Required quests
- Additional requirements
- Eyes in their Stars Archaeology mystery
- You must have met Naressa in Senntisten
TASKS AND TASK SKIPS
There are 50 tasks available, testing all sorts of different skills, from cooking to killing monsters. There are rewards for each task, but don't worry if you don’t fancy completing one – you can always use a Task Skip.
You'll need to purchase Task Skip Tokens from the event interface using
Bonds. It costs 1 Bond for four Tokens, or 2 Bonds for 10.
And if you have any Task Skips left over at the end of the event, you can always save them for the next Yak Track later in the year!
'EARN YOUR WAY'
As well as Task Skips, you can also take the 'Skill and Kill' option, which means you can complete a task just by playing normally - i.e. earning XP or killing enemies. This way, you're making progress on the Track and earning your rewards just by getting on with your usual activities! You’ll have this option for every single one of the 50 tasks, although do note that your progress will be somewhat slower than on the standard tasks.
REWARDS AND PREMIUM REWARDS
Rewards include cosmetics, pets and useful items which you’d normally obtain from Treasure Hunter (Lamps, Protean Packs, Oddments for Ironman players, etc).
Some of the rewards this time are totally new to Yak Track, such as the Band of Iaia transmog ring, and even our first ever visual override for the Sunshine ability!
There are two prize tracks – the free track (available for free-to-play players and regular RuneScape members) and Premium (available only to Premier Members or Premier Pass holders). The latter gives you prizes from
both tracks, so it's well worth picking up a Pass!
You can unlock the Premium Track by having an active Premier membership, or by buying a Premier Pass for 2 Bonds in the event interface. And remember – if you start completing tasks and then gain a Premier Pass later, all of the extra rewards you would have earned will automatically unlock for you!
Ironman accounts can get cosmetic rewards and Oddments but nothing that boosts XP, of course.
Note that all weapons and armour from Yak Tracks are cosmetic overrides. To claim your rewards, you must have enough space in your Backpack!
So, without further ado - let's see what you can get!
