It's time to dust off your undead combat kit! This week's update brings you the doom-laden lair of Tarn Razorlor!
Tarn is a necromancer who has discovered the power of the Salve crystal. If you've defeated Treus Dayth in the Haunted Mine quest, there's nothing to stop him from laying his evil hands on a piece of this precious crystal. Unfortunately, his intentions for this incredible mineral would make many a dead adventurer turn in their grave - if Tarn hadn't been there first...
Equip your Salve Amulet and head over to the Haunted Mine in the south-west of Morytania to experience the thrill of combat against the newly-awakened undead. With new monsters to fight, new traps to disarm and new treasures to unearth, can you survive the challenge of Tarn's Lair?
In addition to Tarn's new dungeon full of undead creatures, we've improved the look of many of the other undead monsters. Throughout the lands and dungeons of RuneScape, the zombies, skeletons and ghosts now have a brand new look and a far more convincing lurch. If you venture to the pyramids in the desert you'll find that the mummies have been similarly redecorated.
In other news...
We've made a slight adjustment to the ring of stone. Previously, when you changed back from being a rock, you'd have to unequip the ring and put it back on before you could become a rock again. It will now unequip itself automatically, just like the Ring of Egg does, which should be far more convenient for all you rock impersonators out there.
The bug that made the fire cape appear upside down in your inventory has been fixed!
The Barbarians have declared that they are fed up tripping over people's pet cats in the Barbarian Assault caverns, so they are now forbidding anyone from taking pets down the ladder into the minigame area.
Finally, in response to requests from players, it is no longer possible to trade the following items:
* Eye of gnome
* Paramaya Inn ticket
* Skull
* Pole
* Hollow reed
* Palm leaf
* Bad wine
* Unfermented wine
* Leaf-bladed spear

Hmmm, seems interesting. Would it be a good place to train for exp or drops? Would be nice if it was as there is a bank down there. Also, does the salve ammy stay enchanted forever?
From what I've heard (since I don't have members at the moment), there IS a bank down there. It costs 100gp though per use. Also, the amulet should stay enchanted forever since you can't kill Tarn again.
The experience and drops are also ten times better than any of the other undead monsters, so it makes it quite worth it to train there as well.

Even for me , the wonder noob?
But anyway, great work Jagex on the list of untradeables. I've nearly got scammed with that leaf blade before!

Would someone mind explaining to me why it's "great" that those items are untradeable anymore? And, what leaf-blade spear scam?
The Leaf-Bladed Spear used for Slayer looks similar to Guthan's Spear, so people have been scamming other by putting in the Leaf-Bladed Spear while they're saying they're selling Guthan's Spear.
* Eye of gnome (Monkey Madness box)
* Paramaya Inn ticket (Shilo Village Inn - useless now because beds have no purpose in RS2)
* Skull (Given)
* Pole
* Hollow reed
* Palm leaf (Oomlie wraps, but since not a lot of people eat those, thought to be rare)
* Bad wine (Remember when half-jug wine was a rare? People tried to sell different variants of wine to get more $ - you get bad wine by failing to make good wine, kind of like how a low level chef burns food)
* Unfermented wine (Wine takes like 5 seconds to make, this is the stage when you squeeze grapes into jugs of water and it goes from Jug of Water -> Unfermented Wine -> Jug of Wine. People have been trying to sell this to make more money)
All of these items can be advertised as rare, because they're items that a lot of people would not know where to get, so scammers can trick people by saying it's rare.
Remember when charcoal first came out? People were selling them (p2p objects) on f2p to make some dirty cash.
