Zulrah Scale Fishing


The residents of Zul-Andra have opened up a little more about their local delicacies, sacred eels. Grab your fishing rod, bait and head over to the tribe to investigate Zulrah scale fishing!

Zulrah Scale Fishing

The groggy waters of Zul-Andra are host to many nasty creatures, one of which is to blame for the crazed nature of the locals. Sacred eels, tainted after having consumed the scales Zulrah has shed, can be caught from the waters of Zul-Andra by players with a fishing level of 87 or higher. Sacred eels are caught using a fishing rod and bait.

Sacred eels are untradeable after being caught, however if you have a cooking level of 72 or higher you can use a knife on the eels to extract several Zulrah scales.

Deadman Mode Death Changes

In an effort to reduce the viability of suiciding inside guarded zones in Deadman mode, we have made a change to death within guarded zones.

If you die with a skull inside a guarded zone, you will now lose 10% of your experience in protected skills in addition to the existing item and XP loss.

If you die without a skull inside a guarded zone you will not lose any experience in your protected skills.

Blank Space

If you have ever wanted to grab a quick, easy to edit screenshot, the blank space is for you! The blank space is an area with nothing in it but a dark map square, perfect for taking screenshots that can be easily cropped.


To access this area, find your way to the Dwarven mine located underneath Falador, right click a disc of returning and select the 'Blackout' option. You will then be transported to the blank space and can leave using the light found in the south-west corner.
