Hello everyone and welcome to the 4th Minescape content update of season 7! This update brings you a sale, a Halloween event, various bug fixes & QoL changes, new features, and implementations of player suggestions.
GamesLabs store sale
Starting today and ending exactly in one week (Nov. 4th) we have a 20% discount running on GamesLabs global ranks and Slayer crate keys! Head over to our store at https://gameslabs.buycraft.net/ to enjoy the spooky sale!
New agility training methods
You ask - we provide! This update brings 2 new methods of training agility, that require no parkour skills. Please note, that these methods are intentionally lower experience rates compared to traditional parkour which requires skill.
Snail egg delivery
Snails are extraordinary creatures in the world of Minescape, but they have one problem: speed. They cannot deliver their baby eggs from Lumbridge to Varrock in time for them to hatch, and they need your help to complete their mission in time! But be careful: the eggs break upon any teleportation method, so they have to be handled by care and delivered on foot. Completing a delivery task will reward players with some agility experience.
Brimhaven agility arena
A new agility arena has been added to the game! The arena is accessible to everyone and rewards experience points for reaching and touching a beacon in a random area of the arena. Players with higher levels of Agility (20, 40) unlock extra shortcuts in the arena boosting their rates slightly.
Halloween event
Dracula needs your help! The vampire that lives in Draynor manor hates candies, so as soon as the leaves have turned orange, he started preparing for Halloween and so he stole Dracula's entire supply of candies and gave it away to Stellar buddies who ate them in no time... Dracula, in revenge, has taken over the manor and won't release it until he gets revenge! Head over to the Draynor manor and help Dracula find those buddies before he destroys the manor! Helping Dracula will reward you with a copy of his favorite mask - the Purple H'ween mask.
