Juliet's House

Jump to navigation Jump to search
Juliet's House (the Leptoc Manor) in Old-School RuneScape and RuneScape 3, 2020.

Juliet's House is a building just outside of Varrock and a notable "mass spot" for the Wilderness Guardians. The clan has assembled at the house prior to several large-scale wars over the course of its history.

Location

The building itself is situated just outside of the western wall of Varrock, west of the western bank and south of the Grand Exchange. In Old-School RuneScape the building is the Leptoc Manor, as it is owned by Draul Leptoc, the father of Juliet.[1] The house is Juliet's residence during the Romeo and Juliet quest, and the location of Old-School RuneScape's 2020 Birthday event on 20 February 2020. In RuneScape 3 where the Romeo and Juliet quest was removed in 2010, the building becomes the residence of Dororan and Gundrun Gunthorsdottir following the events of the Gunnar's Ground quest.

The house has two floors. The closest bank is Varrock west, and the house is only a short distance from the Grand Exchange. In RuneScape 3, a musician can be found at the south side of the house. The Well of Goodwill can also be found in the garden in RuneScape 3.

Massing

The Wilderness Guardians has chosen Juliet's House to mass for several significant wars over the course of its history. The location was likely initially selected for its close proximity to the Varrock west bank, as well as having a large room upstairs. This is ideal for the clan to assemble with a low risk of being spotted by other players, which could result in interference with with the upcoming war. During the masses upstairs, pre-war speeches have ocasionally been given. In RuneScape 2 and 3, a bonfire would be started in the garden just outside prior to the battle.

After a mass at Juliet's House, it is common for the clan to spread out and march (a "deathmarch") west through the Barbarian Village ("Gunnarsgrunn" in RuneScape 3), and northwest to the Monastery west of Edgeville, so as to gain the prayer bonus from the altar there. After this, the clan would then continue on into the Wilderness.

From 2015 to 2017, several PK trip masses[2][3] and occasional non-PvP event masses[4] were also held at Juliet's House.
