Darkmeyer Outfit Blisterwood weaponry

In an act unseen in living memory, Lord Drakan has appeared in public – an opportunity that the Myreque can't pass up.

This is their chance to take down the biggest of bads, and they need your help. Infiltrate Darkmeyer once again, and bring a blisterwood-tipped end to Drakan's reign of terror...if you can.

This is as dark and intense as RuneScape questing gets, and we hope you have a fang-tastic time. There's a full-blooded helping of rewards, too, including new blisterwood weapons and a cosmetic wing override.

If you haven't already, check out the latest Lores & Histories story – The Old Blood – to uncover some of Drakan's early history and get in the mood for the quest itself. You can also try the Vampyre's Riddle – a web-based mystery with some cool prizes up for grabs if you complete it by 21st September.

Have fun!
