The Lost Sword

For the sword received as a reward from this activity, see Lost sword of King Raddallin.

The Lost Sword is an activity located in the east side of Falador Park, near Darla. It appeared as a chest after the Falador graphical rework, as part of the Invasion of Falador event.

The activity revolves around obtaining the Lost sword of King Raddallin. Players can help with this between 22 and 26 October 2015. Each day will requires two different skills. Free-to-play players can not use the members skill, but only the free to play skill.

Players can speak to Darla nearby to check the progress of the activity, claim any rewards and buy additional tools. There is also a right-click option on tools to check the activity's progress, as well as being able to teleport directly to the park.

Every day that the activity is active, players will receive 100 basic tools on login. Tools from previous days if not yet obtained will also be given. Additional tool packs can be purchased for loyalty points by speaking to Darla. Players can also earn golden tools from Treasure Hunter, which give 25 times the experience and contribution if the player's skill level is over 50, or 10 times if below 50. Each set of tools, basic or golden, can be used 5 times before it breaks.

Appearance

Depending on what skill is needed for each day, the skill patch changes in appearance.

Day 1. It has the appearance of a buried chest.

Day 2. It has the appearance of a tree with a chest on top.

Day 3. It is once again buried, though more exposed.

Day 4. It's now fully above ground with moving symbols.

Day 5. It's now out of the ground, although locked.

The examine text also changes:

• Day 1 - It looks like the top of a chest has been uncovered in the ground. Work together to get it out!
• Day 2 - A tree has burst from the ground and the chest is on top! Work together to knock it down!
• Day 3 - After the tree fell, the chest has become embedded in the ground once more. Work together to build a podium and set it right!
• Day 4 - Your disturbances have triggered some magical defences. Work together to disarm them!
• Day 5 - The treasure chest is ready to open, but you don't have a key. Work together to break it open!

Rewards

Working on the activity each day will allow a player to receive experience in the required skill, scaling to level, and will increase the player's personal and community contribution towards the activity. At every increment of 10% progress, a new reward will be available to unlock, however both personal and community contribution needs to be above this value for players to obtain the reward. Once players have 100% personal contribution, they will obtain a Large mystery box regardless of the current community contribution.

It is not necessary to buy more tools using loyalty points in order to reach full personal contribution. If a player spends every day of the activity using their daily tools, they will reach 100%. For every 100 tools, 20% personal contribution is gained.

Trivia

• Unlike various other events and activities, Ironman accounts can participate in this activity, however they cannot receive most of the rewards. They can only receive the cosmetic overrides and Commendations, not the various mystery boxes or the Lost sword of King Raddallin item.
