1. The Elder Grove Tithe

"The Grandmasters do not want your gold. Everyone at your level has gold." The old woman does not look up from her ledger. "They want a season of your labour. Start with the elder grove — fell it, and burn what you fell."

Objectives

• Chop Elderwood Logs ×1,300
• Burn Elderwood Logs ×1,150

Rewards

• 350,000 Woodcutting XP
• 350,000 Firemaking XP
• 1,000,000 gp
• 200 gems

2. The Last Vein

"Anyone can swing a pick at a rich seam. Show me you can still swing it at an empty one." The runite is the easy part; it is the four coal per bar that will take your week.

Objectives

• Mine Runite Ore ×1,400
• Mine Coal Ore ×5,600
• Smelt Runite Bar ×1,400
• Smelt Adamantite Bar ×500

• 1,500,000 gp
• 250 gems

3. The Leviathan Table

The Grandmasters eat once a season, and they eat well. Five hundred leviathan, hauled and plated. "If one comes up burnt," the cook says pleasantly, "catch another."

Objectives

• Catch Raw Leviathan ×520
• Cook Raw Leviathan ×520

Rewards

• 500,000 Fishing XP
• 400,000 Cooking XP
• 2,000,000 gp
• 300 gems

4. Every Pocket in the Realm

"The Guild says you cleared their vault. The Guild says a lot of things." Do it again, at a scale nobody has done it — and work the Knights on the side, so the Vault Keeper never learns your face.

Objectives

• Pickpocket The Vault Keeper ×4,700 (Thieving)
• Pickpocket Knight ×4,000 (Thieving)

Rewards

• 900,000 Thieving XP
• 2,500,000 gp
• 350 gems

5. The Ancient Ledger

Seven thousand ancient runes, bound one at a time, and the essence for every one of them mined by the same hands. The dragonhide is for the binding covers. "The Grandmasters keep their records forever. Make them worth keeping."

Objectives

• Mine Rune Essence ×7,000
• Craft Ancient Rune ×7,000
• Craft Green D-hide Body ×150

Rewards

• 700,000 Runecrafting XP

• 200,000 Mining XP
• 2,500,000 gp
• 400 gems

6. Ten Thousand Shafts

Seven and a half thousand rune arrows. The fletching takes twenty minutes. The ore behind it takes the other nine hours — which is, of course, the point.

Objectives

• Mine Runite Ore ×1,500
• Mine Coal Ore ×6,000
• Smelt Runite Bar ×1,500
• Craft Rune Arrow ×7,500

• 450 gems

7. The Ossuary Vigil

The Desecrated Crypt refills itself faster than you can empty it. Go through it a hundred and twenty times, and lay every dragon-bone you carry out to rest. "The dead are patient," the Gravekeeper says. "You will not be."

Objectives

• Clear The Desecrated Crypt ×120
• Bury Dragon Bones ×240

Rewards

• 1,000,000 Prayer XP
• 300,000 Melee XP
• 3,000,000 gp
• 550 gems

8. Three Ways to Win a Fight

"A Grandmaster is not a swordsman who can also shoot." Sixty clears of each trial, and two hundred dragons felled with the bow. Each in its own discipline; no loadout carries you through all three.

Objectives

• Clear Senshi Trials ×60
• Kill Green Dragon ×200
• Clear Aether Sanctum ×60

Rewards

• 500,000 Melee XP
• 500,000 Ranged XP

• 400,000 Hitpoints XP
• 3,000,000 gp
• 650 gems

9. The Cauldron Vigil

Three cauldrons and a herb bill that will strip your fields bare for a week — every plot you own, turned over to the Grandmasters' order. Then drink two hundred charges yourself: "a brewer who won't taste their own work is a poisoner with better manners."

Objectives

• Brew Forgemaster's Infusion ×40
• Brew Necromancer's Brew ×40
• Brew Cartographer's Draught ×40
• Drink Forgemaster's Infusion ×200

Rewards

• 750 gems
