Pictures
Please, for the love of all that is holy, someone, take a better picture! A stat screen shot is not needed, although we could do with one for the ghostly robes page, if we hae one. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 22:34, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Brief Guide
(Needs confirmation)

Walkthrough

 * Go to the ghost near Relekka's House Portal.
 * Talk to Ghost and then return to Seers. Talk to Sin Seer in the Spinning Wheel house in Seers Village. Bribe her with 40 coins and then return to the ghost again.
 * Go find the four scouts at the locations he mentions. Wear a ring of visibility to see them, a ghostspeak amulet to talk to them and Ghostly robes for them to recognize you as a messenger for General Khazard. The scouts are on the move constantly, so look around in the area given below.


 * The Jungle scout is near the Tai bwo wannai village. Go to the special tree patch with mahogany and teak trees, and search just a bit to the south-east of there. (The jungle south-east of the start of the Jungle Potion quest.)
 * The gnomes Gnome scout is circling around the apple orchard to the south-east of gnome stronghold. It could be right by the entrance, but he may be else where near the orchard.
 * Knight scout. This scout is a little east of Falador, between the Falador east wall and the Draynor Manor west fence.
 * The Desert scout is a little south of the Shantay Pass. Go through the pass, and search the area around the rock formation just to the south of the pass.


 * For the final boss go to the Goblin Infested Cave right by Fishing guild. The cave is known from Dwarf Cannon and One Small Favour

Reward
The reward for the completion of this hidden update consists of a Shadow sword.

Arguably more interesting than the sq'irk update

Cheers -- Eucarya Talk 00:31, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Added some tidbits and weapon stats --Miw 10:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * For the Ghostly robes, there were 3 different options (paths and ghost) which a player is randomly assigned. Might be the same for this ghostly item as well?  Chrislee33 01:04, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * After checking 4 fansites, it's the same 4 locations - the jungle site can be between the Tai Bwo Wannai rare trees to the mines to the south east and north outside of Shilo Village. Chrislee33 03:56, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Coverage on wiki
Shadow Sword is both a miniquest and an item. Temporary versions are on the talk page. There should be two pages: one for miniquest and one for the item description. --Miw 10:39, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Shadow Sword miniquest and Shadow Sword should be the names. Since I don't even have ghostly robes I'm not gonna try. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  16:41, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Shadow Sword RS forum thread
Trivia reference: Here are the RS forum threads documenting date of release and discoverer of shadow sword on RS forum. Chrislee33 08:42, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

uh uh
I found general khazard walking around the falador south mine area ages b4 12th feb, I wear visibility ring all over rs hoping to find something like a hidden room, i found the guy at the end of january (28th 9:31 am) and got the sword from the hound on my second attempt, after teleing and coming bak, (didnt no it was a trap).

I have a log of stuff i find and that was my first addition, i told another 6 pplz since i found it up till 12th feb, so no its definately older than that date, maybe even older than when i found it.

(was running up from my house to falador south gate at the time.)
 * Uh huh. Got any proof? JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  17:45, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

fraid not, i thought it was well known at the time, else i would have taken a snap, u can ask one of my m8s i spose, idk, dont spose i can just have to act on faith, i have no real hard evidence tho i did tell my m8s at the time
 * haven't seen anything on any of the forums about earlier sightings.....Chrislee33 10:25, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

i didnt post
