Valmore: Old School RS's Epic Expansion
Mar-16-2024 PSTOld School RS (OSRS) is set to receive one of its most significant updates yet with the addition of Valmore, a new area southeast of the Strangle Wood. This expansion promises fresh content for both skillers and PvMers alike and is poised to become the go-to destination until the highly anticipated release of Wild Gothic Sleeps later this year.
In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into everything you can expect in Valmore and provide you with tips on how to properly prepare for this epic adventure. But before we dive in, don't forget to mark your calendars for March 20th. So, without further ado, let's get started!
Questing into Valmore: Children of The Sun
First things first, to even set foot in The Shining Kingdom, you'll need to complete the "Children of The Sun" quest, which was added a few weeks ago. This quest introduces you to the people of Valmore, who journey to Verac but encounter trouble during their visit. It's up to you to save the day! Fortunately, this quest has no combat requirements, making it accessible to skillers. Once completed, you'll gain entry to the brand-new area and all its wonders.
Additionally, another quest awaits you in the heart of Valmore's city, Civitas Il Fortis. While details on this quest are scarce, it's expected to be an intermediate-level quest with unique rewards tailored to the new location. Prepare yourself by honing your exploration skills and embracing the sense of adventure that awaits in this uncharted territory.
Skilling in Valmore: Agility, Mining, Prayer, and Thieving
Valmore offers a plethora of new skilling opportunities for players of all levels. Agility enthusiasts will rejoice at the prospect of the Colossal Worm agility course, where collecting termites promises to be a novel and rewarding experience.
Mining enthusiasts can look forward to a low-intensity mining activity that requires level 41 Mining. Expect to mine veins while contending with waterfalls that enhance your success rate. Prayer practitioners can engage in "Offerings to Ros" at level 30 Prayer, providing a new method of training with bone shards and wine jugs.
Thieving takes on new dimensions in Valmore, with level 50 thieves pickpocketing citizens in the bazaar. Beware of high failure rates, but take advantage of street urchins to distract citizens and improve your success rate. Be prepared for exciting loot opportunities, but beware of the consequences if caught!
Revitalizing Hunter: Hunter's Guild and Hunter Contracts
Hunter receives a much-needed revitalization with the introduction of Hunter's Guild and Hunter Contracts. Complete contracts assigned by the Guild Master to hunt specific creatures and earn rewards, including bonus experience, loot sacks, and even a chance at a new Hunter pet, the Kital.
The Guild also introduces new creatures, including sunlight and moonlight mods, jerboas, fenic foxes, and mountain salamanders. Expect new resources, such as horns and meat, along with the opportunity to craft mixed-hide gear and upgrade Hunter crossbows.
Perilous Adventures: Perilous Moons and PvM Challenges
For daring adventurers seeking formidable challenges, look no further than Perilous Moons, an exploration-based dungeon featuring mid-level PvM encounters. Navigate through different paths, face powerful entities, and emerge victorious for lucrative rewards.
The PvM highlight of Valmore is the Forsaken, a new wave-based encounter with a customizable buff and debuff system. Prepare for intense battles with formidable foes, and adapt your strategies to conquer this epic challenge. With a diverse range of rewards, including new weapons and armor sets, the Forsaken promises to be a thrilling addition to OSRS's PvM content.
