Grandmaster quests

Grandmaster Quest
Grandmaster Quests (also known as GMQs') are currently the hardest quests on runescape which were first introduced on the 26th of november 2010, with the introduction of While Guthix Sleeps as the first Grandmaster Quest. Nomad's Requiem followed years after and was more combat based then storyline heavy unlike While Guthix Sleeps which is story heavy.

The Definitions of Grandmaster Quests
Grandmaster Quests are supposed to be challanging and not bypassable by rich players to do this they use a varitie of techniques. A Grandmaster Quest could have high requirments like While Guthix Sleeps with several requirments like 65 defence and most of the Elven quest series, or be like Nomad's Requiem and have low requirments and a hard boss (but usally aren't the ends of quest series). Most Grandmaster Quests have the player master something before starting the quest like a skill or a minigame and have rewards consering the minigame or skill and parts of the storyline. They can either be plot heavy (While Guthix Sleeps) or plot light (Nomad's Requiem) but not plotless

(former quest learning the ropes).

While Guthix Sleeps

This the plot heavy quest of the two current GrandMasters' and also has the highest requirments of any quest. The quests main plot is Lucien whos takes the Stone of Jas and Staff of Armadyl in hopes of becoming a god, but the quest has many subplots all supporting the major plotline. The full requirments include most of the skills at a certian level and quest series.

the overview to the quest is

A power grows in the north, and an efficient spy network reports all that transpires to its master. The long, dark fear buried in the back of everyone's mind is starting to grow. That which was once overlooked has now become hard to ignore.

For what nefarious purpose are there spies in Draynor? Exactly what is Movario looking for in the Lumbridge Swamp caves? What of the ancient power of the Mahjarrat and the dragonkin? Has something been missed? The ancient powers of the gods - where did it come from, and what would happen if a mortal could tap its power?

Any interested parties should contact Radimus Erkle for what may prove to be the most challenging experience of their entire career.

and the introduction is

The craggy, bearded face of the druid shook with anger as he addressed his congregation: “How safe do you really feel? And are you happy to stand by while 'He' plans to make Gielinor his own?”

The congregation murmured in apprehension.

The druid continued, “I, for one, will no longer live in fear: we must act now!”

There was a commotion outside, and soon a red-faced youth ran in, “Another murder...the tracker...he's been found!”

Though being story heavy it ends with the Balance Elemental and Tormented Demon (though these cannot win) fights.
