Weapon Improvements & Necromancy Soundtrack  - This Week In RuneScape

Sharpen your blades, string your bows, and don your orb-pondering spectacles — the Legendary & Masterwork Weapon improvements go live today!

Check out our latest blog for the full deep dive, but here’s a quick summary of what’s new:

• Ek-ZekKil has been reworked with a brand-new special attack and passive effect, themed around Zuk’s iconic duels. It now boosts your melee abilities and shines in longer fights.
• The Fractured Staff of Armadyl gains a powerful new passive, increasing critical strike damage to better synergize with your high-impact spells.
• All three new Masterwork weapons now feature a life-stealing passive, healing you for a portion of the damage you deal — a perfect tool for combat learners and veterans alike.
• Both Tectonic and Elite Tectonic armours now grant passive critical strike chance bonuses, giving magic users more incentive to suit up in style.

Whether you're a seasoned PvMer or just stepping into high-level combat, these improved tools will help you reach new heights. See you on the battlefield!
