It had been almost a month since the crew had decided to temporarily move to the Falador farm to avoid the plague spreading across the region. Although at first it took some time to adjust, but the team was enjoying the break. Bill, Alex, and Ryan loved to sit outside watching the cows roam around while sampling some of the weeds that they harvested from the farming patches. Of course, it wasn't all relaxing, they had been trying different combinations of crops and noticed that sometimes the plants disappeared before their very eyes. Alex was in charge of grinding up the various runes used in the spells to repair the crops, and occasionally when Ryan & Bill weren't looking he would eat some of the powder to get that lovely mind rune buzz. Overall, the farm life turned out to not be so bad!

Hello players! We hope are staying safe during all of the crazy world events currently taking place. This update is smaller than we hoped, but we've continued our razor sharp focus on farming and fixed many irritating bugs and added an entire new kind of crop you can plant! Thank you so much to Nijntje, Muse, and other players for helping us get the farming patches into glitchy states so we can repair the issues. Please continue to report any issues to us and we will work to fix them, and happy farming!

Please read the post for RuneRebels Ethereal (2.14) - GHOSTS AHOY & ECTOFUNTUS! first!



It was the middle of one of the darkest nights of the month as Ryan and Bill teleported around Morytania, Bill modifying his Quest Scroll constantly while making note of all of the things that needed a touch of Ryan's magic to work properly. They worked quickly but carefully throughout the night until they saw the sunrise on the horizon. "Well, that ought to do it, I'm ready to get the hell out of here" said Bill as he sat down and pulled out a fresh Wizard's mind bomb. "Same" replied Ryan, as they opened up Port Phasmatys to the players and teleported back to RuneRebels headquarters. In the morning, they woke up to banging at the door. "Oh no, what did we do" said Bill as he slowly stumbled out of bed and opened the door. He found a whole crowd of players with a scroll of complaints about the new town. "The general store won't sell me anything!" said Nijntje; "and that Old Crone won't co-operate with me even after I gave in to all her demands!" they continued. "Also my chest disappeared" said Bailey. "Also the undead cows don't drop my favorite kind of meat!" yelled Brownay. "Thank you for the concerns, we'll take care of them right away" replied Bill as he quickly closed the door and grabbed another Wizards mind bomb from the fridge.

"Hey, wake up"... said a familiar voice. "Dude, you have to get up" continued the voice. "Hrmmm what?" asked Ryan. "Who is it?" he asked. "It's me, Bill" replied Bill. "You should probably wake up now, it's almost February!" continued Bill. Ryan quickly jolted awake and looked around the headquarters. There were empty beer glasses and leftover food everywhere from the New Years Double XP party, quest scrolls scattered all over the floor, and Alex was cuddled up in a corner with one of the camels from Al Kharid. "Holy crap, how long have we been asleep?!" asked Ryan. "Almost the entire month dude" replied Bill, as he continued to perfect the quest scroll that he was working on. "I just need you to check a few boxes on this and sign on the dotted line and it is ready to go!" said Bill happily. "What is it?" asked Ryan as he mindlessly signed the document. "It is my new experience!" said Bill as a crazy looking doctor appeared in a puff of smoke. "I'll be back soon" said Bill as he shrunk the doctor down and put him in a vial. "I have a castle to fill with monsters!"

It was another super quiet day at the RuneRebel's headquarters. Bailey hadn't seen Bill or Ryan in the main lobby in over a month; Bill had disappeared into the Quest Library as usual, and Ryan had been underground in the Barrows ever since Bailey had given him the specification scroll for the reward algorithm. The sound of a door being slammed open interrupted his train of thought as he went to see what all the noise was. As he approached the main entrance, he saw Alex dragging a cut down banana tree from Karamja into the living room. "Uhh Alex, what the hell are you doing?" questioned Bailey. "Oh, I was just bringing in our Christmas tree" replied Alex, as he continued to drag the tree, which was dropping squashed bananas all over the floor. "But that's not… you don't usually… I mean shouldn't we have gotten a… oh never mind" said Bailey as he watched the tree get stuck in a doorway. As Alex continued to fight with the large banana tree, part of the floor collapsed in as Ryan popped his head out of the ground. "I MADE IT OUT!" exclaimed Ryan. "Made it out of what?" asked Bailey. "I was testing the coffins at Barrows and got stuck in one" replied Ryan. "I finally managed to dig my way out, and I think it is ready to go!". "Awesome! I have something I think would go perfect with that" replied Bailey as he pulled out a handful of magical Double XP Tablets from his inventory. "I'm thinking it's time to celebrate the New Year!" exclaimed Bailey. Before Ryan could even reply, Bill popped his head of the door to the Quest Library. "Fuck yeah, do it" said Bill before closing the door. "Sounds like a plan!" said Ryan. "Whats with all the bananas on the floor? he continued. "Don't get me started…" replied Bailey as they walked out the main entrance to cast the Double XP spells.

Hello players! We hope that you are all enjoying the holidays and are ready for a new year! We are extremely excited for 2020, as it is going to be a fantastic year for RuneRebels with the content that we have in the pipeline. That being said, we know that everyone has been eager for the December update, as last month's updates consisted of only hot patches. We are super proud to finally release the Barrows minigame after a ton of work into it, and we hope you enjoy playing it as much as we did making it!

In addition to this new minigame, in order to celebrate the holidays and the new year, we will be running a Double Experience event from midnight December 27th until 11:59 PM January 3rd (EST)! Every player can earn double experience for up to 10 hours each day; after the 10 hours the effect will wear off, with the counter resetting at midnight EST each day. We hope that this gives everyone enough time to schedule in some of the grind as we work on even more content for you guys.

Finally, we just wanted to let everyone know that we've created a new item giveaway channel on our Discord server where players with the appropriate rank can run item giveaways! If you want to run a giveaway, ping us on Discord and we can give you the required rank. If you haven't joined yet, there isn't a better time!

Happy New Years!

Shortly after the launch of the last update, Bill went to his room to get some rest. He had just finished crawling under the covers of his brand new Quest Cape sheet and comforter set when he was interrupted by a bunch of players banging on his window. He got up and wandered over to the window to open it up, wondering what the players could want at this hour. "Ladder broke" exclaimed Brownay after Bill opened the window. "What?" said Bill. "Ladder broke" repeated Brownay. An awkward silence followed, as they stared blankly at each other. "The ladder in the guild is broken" repeated Brownay. "Damn it" replied Bill as he shut the window and headed back to the Quest Library, his Quest Cape pajamas dragging behind him.

After taking some time away from the Quest Library to eat some food and wash his new blue shorts, Bill decided that it was time to venture back in. After gathering the supplies he required and loading them into the sled that Alex stole from Santa, he began to push it into the library. "What exactly is all that for?" asked Bailey as Bill passed him. "Oh, this is just some of the stuff I need while I chill in the library." replied Bill. "You need two dozen meat pizzas, six cooked beef, six cooked chickens, thirteen pies, and the entire minibar in the library with you?" questioned Bailey as Bill continued to struggle to push the sled. "Yeah, I'm gonna be in there for awhile" replied Bill. "Alex, get over here and help me push this thing!" continued Bill. "Oh dude that is a ton of food, you trying to hit up the Wizard's gym with me?" said Alex. "Uhh, totally dude; just help me push this and we'll go" said Bill. "Ah sweet!" said Alex as he helped push the sled into the Quest Library. A few seconds later, Bailey heard Alex mutter "Are you kidding me" as the sound of a teleother spell being cast in the library drowned out his voice.

One Month Later...

Petter was sitting on the couch in the lounge counting his stacks of gold while Onur rolled around on the floor. After what seemed like an eternity, Bill finally emerged from the Quest Library. Inside of the stolen sled where the remainders of the glorious food that Bill had brought in the library, along with four glowing Quest Scrolls. "Oh my lord" said Petter; "are those for me?" he asked eagerly. Bill slowly walked over while holding the radiant scrolls in his arms; "These are for the players!" he exclaimed as the scrolls vanished in a flash of light.
