- 18 years ago, first quest released, Cook's Assistant
- Helping the cook with a new recipe, last time it was cake, this time it's cheesecake
- Requirements: 32 cooking and Cook's Assistant
- Overview
- Start by talking to the Head Chef in the Cooking guild, he's heard of your success stories in helping the Lumbridge cook. He wants a new type of cake.
- The great labourous effort to explain cheesecake
- Cheese cake is made from: cream cheese (Phil and Delphie in Falador), pot of cream, and biscuits (flour and butter to make biscuit dough)
- In getting cream cheese you discover that Phil and Delphie's dairy churn is broken, it needs to be repaired using logs and a steel bar.
- Make the cheese cake using a cake tin.
- Samples of the cheese cake must then be brought to 3 members of the Cooks, Apprentices and Kitchen Experts Society (CAKE society).
- Lumbridge Cook
- Cook of the Holly Boar Inn
- Sergeant Ramsey in the Pick and Lute pub next to the Taverley lodestone.
- 1 Quest point
- 1500 cooking xp (lamp)
- 3 cheesecakes
- Ability to make cheesecakes and biscuits
- Cheesecakes (250/49): Vanilla (300/59), chocolate (350/69), strawberry (400/79), lemon (450/89), and bacon (500/99)

- Switching weapons quickly will now auto-switch to the correct action bar.
- Worn Tetsu can no longer be traded.
- The slider puzzle in a clue scroll will now update reliably.
- Gorajo team cards now work properly for Dungeoneering.(Finally)
- Smithing a bronze dagger on Tutorial Island has been updated to account for bronze bars now requiring 2 tin and 2 copper ore, and a bronze dagger requiring 2 bronze bars.
- The hitpoints of gem rocks have been reduced.
- Loading a bank preset with a noted object in the beast of burden inventory will no longer attempt to drop the item to the floor.
- Changed PoF trapper’s animal gathering timer from 30s to 6 hours. (hot fix)
- Removing animals from the storm barn can no longer cause a disconnection.
- Custom fit masterwork armour checks for being on reaper or slayer task have been tightened and should no longer degrade whilst on these tasks.
- Quests
- The quest list can now be sorted by: Area, combat difficulty, timeline, release date, quest series and age.
- The quest list now displays names in proper alphabetical order to match their position in the list. eg “Lost Tribe, The” instead of “The Lost Tribe”.
- The following information has been added to quest overviews: quest series and episode (where applicable), age, release year, recommended, voice-acted, members, length.
- Quest rewards that the player will not be given (such as combat lamps and Treasure Hunter keys on a repeat playthrough after a quest skill/pure reset) are no longer displayed on the quest accept/complete screen.
- The Latest Content lozenge on the Featured tab in Adventures now has a consistent automated breadcrumb strategy when the latest content is a quest.
- The Set Active feature of the quest journal can now consistently breadcrumb to the start point of almost all unstarted quests. The button now also has a distinctive look when toggled between active and inactive states.
- The quest point shop portal previously just teleported you to the start of the latest quest without warning. It now checks the requirements for the latest quest and notifies you of where you’ll be teleported.
- Removed 6th age dialogue on the dwarf king in Birthright of the Dwarves and made the quest ambiguous age.
- Ikadia the exile’s 6th age dialogue topics now only appear after you’ve completed Birthright of the Dwarves.
- Removed 6th age dialogue on King Lathas in Plague’s End and made the quest ambiguous age.
- Changed 6th age dialogue (World Guardian reference) in Beneath Cursed Tides to only appear if completed the World Wakes, and made the quest ambiguous age.
- Added suggested requirements of Nomad’s Requiem and Nadir (unabridged) saga to Dishonour Among Thieves.
- Added suggested requirement of Dishonour Among Thieves to Evil Dave’s Big Day Out.
- Added suggested requirements of Rune Mechanics (because Kipple is a rune guardian and a player felt strongly about this) and Fate of the Gods (because elder gods for the same reason) to Heart of Stone.
- While Guthix Sleeps currently has several requirements intended to increase its prestige at the time, but which arenít needed for any narrative or mechanical reason.
- Removed the following redundant requirements from While Guthix Sleeps: 270 QP, Mourning’s End II, Recipe for Disaster, Summer’s End, Swan Song, Zogre Flesh Eaters.
- Added Wanted! and 25 Agility as requirements, and Nature Spirit as a recommended quest.
- Updated a requirements check on Radimus Erkle when starting Guthix Sleep.
- Removed this post-quest dialogue from Idria: “You should be proud…Since our lord Armadyl has returned to Gielinor, and defended himself against the murderous intentions of Bandos, such unity is more important and more fitting than ever before!” Since Idria dies during RotM, she cannot know about the Bird and the Beast event in the Sixth Age.
- The elite Khazard guards in Movario’s base are aggressive again, as was the case pre-EoC.
- This Grandmaster Sixth Age quest is required for Sliske’s Endgame, and currently requires Koscheiís Troubles, a miniquest which requires Ritual of the Mahjarrat, a Grandmaster which requires most Fifth Age quests. This effectively means that Sliskeís Endgame requires most of the Fifth Age, defeating the point of starting a new age to reduce pre-requisites. To resolve this:
- A 6th age version of Kharshai has been added at the tip of the frozen area north of Rellekka, a player can start Children of Mah by talking to him if they meet the questís requirements.
- Koscheiís Troubles is now a recommended instead of required quest for Children of Mah.
- Kharshai now offers to teleport the player into the ritual site instance (which if you havenít completed Ritual of the Mahjarrat is the only way to access the ritual marker). Clicking the ritual marker returns you to Kharshai if you havenít unlocked the ritual site.
- The new way to upgrade emblems is to do wilderness Slayer tasks through Mandrith who is a level 85 Slayer master.
- Gives monsters that you can find in the Wilderness but you can only find them in the Wilderness.
- If you have the emblem, you will get points on that emblem and it will upgrade if you have enough points.
- 100 points per task, if you don’t have an emblem you don’t get any points.
- If you get PK’ed with your emblem, it will go down a tier and the PK’er will steal half the points the emblem is worth. (At tier 6 they would get 450 points)
- Demonic skull works and special Slayer contracts
- Ogre flask can now be made with robust glass at Oo’glog (more glass to make it)
- Rune pouches gone. Chance to get magical thread while abyssal Runecrafting, higher chance with demonic skull. Pouches have to be crafted.
- Amulet of Forsaken on the barrows drop table
- Revanent have a small chance of dropping a revenant spirit item to unlock the pet. Each time you get a revenant spirit the pet changes to the next tier of revenant.
- Shared loot system for wilderness mobs: Slayer, pickpocketing, or muddy chest. Wilderness hilt, fremenik armour set, adrenaline crystals, blood weed seeds, and brawling gloves.
- “Ok” for training XP, bonfires or line firemaking should be better xp.
- Duration can be extended to 60 minutes, incense burners stack.
- Firemaking item created using logs, ashes, and herbs. Act like potions. Last for a set amount of time, every 10 minutes their potency increases.
- Overloading incense burners, start with the full effect but use 4 incense burners at once.

Listener Questions and Discussions
Question from Sunset Fish
What Runescape model or area would you like to see get updated graphically?
For me it's the Unicorns need to be updated, also I would like to see the ArdyZoo get revamped. Perhaps expanded even .
For a zoo of living creatures, sure looks like death too me.
