New loot, including level 90 shields.

Materials for crafting level 90 power type melee armour. malevolent armour - level 90 power-type melee armour that sits alongside the mighty tectonic and sirenic sets. It's made by level 91+ smiths, using stabilised malevolent energy - a resource that can be won by escaping the Shadow Dungeon with your life - as well as reinforcing plate bought from Saro in Keldagrim

Also bobblehead pets drop.

There is a well north-west of the original barrows which you go down to get to the shadow dungeon.

You need a barrows totem to form a party (obtained from normal barrows or traded/GE) This party is formed until you win or everyone is dead or leaves.

They suggest a min of 180 combat and "with the very best gear available and every ounce of teamwork and combat skill that you can muster".

Watching Dardans stream for a bit. Looks like a lag fest!

[FluffyHarry]

So was I, they was also speaking about client crashes after they die sometimes.

Imo not worth rushing to try. From my experience with when KK was released, I tried to join parties and attempted to kill it so many times. It was hours before I actually got a kill. I stayed there for about 11 hours and got nothing but deaths. To me it's more worth the time to sit back and learn from streams, videos, experimental/pro bossers until you at least know how to kill it somewhat.

edit: @JagexTimbo: @Lord_Zoinkwiz We've been posting on the forums, switch to OpenGL before you try to log in. There are issues with DirectX at the minute!

-Mod Timbo. Maybe this has something to do with the lag/crash?

Thanks mojo I thought I put it in there but then I realised I didnt. Yeah it seems like you need a fair bit of co-ordination, just stick with nex xD
