TzHaar-Ket-Rak's Challenges (2024)

So you think you're tough stuff, eh? Well, you may have defeated three JalTok-Jads, but can you defeat six?

Prove your worth with a set of new PvM scraps to test the very best fighters! These fearsome challenges are set by TzHaar-Ket-Rak, who can be found in eastern Mor Ul Rek, home of the mighty TzHaar. To access this part of Mor Ul Rek, players are required to have completed the Fight Caves.

For each challenge, the player must face a steadily increasing number of JalTok-Jads, a stronger version of the iconic TzTok-Jad. For the first challenge you'll only face one, which then unlocks the next level - until finally you must defeat six of 'em! Each challenge is on the clock and a nearby scoreboard will show your best times. In order to unlock challenges 3-6, players must have completed the Inferno.

Each time you complete a challenge you'll be rewarded with Tokkul, the TzHaar currency. Completion of all six will unlock a JalTok-Jad transmogrify option for the TzTok-Jad pet (we heard your requests)! Most importantly, you can be comfortable in the knowledge that you are indeed the best of the best...

To kick off the release of the latest Karamjan Volcano challenges, we're throwing in some extra thrills with two competitions for fantastic prizes! Both start today and run until March 17th 23:59 GMT.

Fastest Times

The three fastest times of the Six Jad Challenge will receive a year's membership and a King Black Dragon building set!

Good luck!

Most Soul Wars-specific items no longer have a Destroy confirmation box and can now be quickly shift-dropped! This includes bandages, potions and barricades, but not bones and soul fragments.

Soul Wars Clan mode will now award more Zeal points - the maximum amount of points earned has been increased from 20 to 30.

The Soul Wars scoreboard will now count the games that the player did not finish.

We also want your feedback on the current PvP World rota, and we've made a short survey - if you'd like to take part, just click here!

• We've made some behind the scenes improvement to the quest system. This shouldn't have any visible impact, but let us know if you encounter any issues.
• Iron and non-Iron characters now have separate shops with Martin Thwait inside the Rogues' Den. In addition, the de-stock rate has been altered slightly for Iron players.
• The Dawnbringer should now drop to the floor if a player uses Verzik's Teleport Crystal to exit the raid.
• The quota of daily party formations in the Theatre of Blood has increased.
• Loot broadcasts for pet drops will now appear correctly in the GWD boss rooms.
• The people of Mort'ton once again permit players to light fires around their town.
• All max capes now count as warm items at the Wintertodt, like the Firemaking skillcape does. Previously only the infernal max cape and fire max cape worked this way!

That's everything for this week's game update. We'd love to hear your feedback so please let us know what you think via our official forums, on the 2007Scape Reddit, or the community-led OSRS Discord in the #gameupdate channel.
