'''Needle Skips''' is a quest that [[Mod Osborne]] and [[Mod Krista]] began working as part of [[GameJam]]. The quest is a murder mystery style quest and is aimed for release some time during October 2018. It will involve only female characters, and will be based around discovering who has killed a beloved character. The quest will have a similar feel to [[One Piercing Note]], with the player solving the murder mystery. The quest will have a unique mechanic where the player investigates the environment and enters text into a magical artefact to receive more clues; this will allow for its events to be played out of sequence.{{CiteGeneral|url = https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/72mlnz/tldw_349_runefest_reveals_qa/|title = TL;DW 349 - Runefest Reveals Q&A|date = 26 September 2017}} Mod Krista was working on the quest in her [[TAPP]] time prior to her departure from Jagex.{{CiteTwitter|author=Mod Krista|url=https://twitter.com/jagexkrista/status/923548957455847424|date=26 October 2017}}
