RuneScape’s new storyline Fort Forinthry launches in the iconic MMORPG. This new update features brand new methods for improving the construction skill, lays the foundation for the next year of RuneScape story, and introduces a new way of earning bonus XP – meaning that players can progress even when they’re away from the game.
Fort Forinthry: New Foundations is the first update in the Fort Forinthry storyline that will see players become dux, dukes and duchesses of a fort built by their own hands. Following the epic conclusion of the Elder God Wars, this story begins closer to home. As Zamorakian forces threaten Gielinor, players are asked by King Roald and Queen Ellamaria to construct a fort on the edge of The Wilderness. In this initial update, players will begin building their fort and the first four buildings each with their own gameplay bonuses.
Across the Fort Forinthry storyline, players will aspire to be master craftworkers as they use a new construction skilling method to progressively build a fort over the course of several game updates. As the fort increases in size, new benefits and bonuses will unlock. Best of all, with a low skill requirement, this content is perfect for new players that joined during the recent Fresh Start Worlds event.
In the Workshop, players will access the new construction training method, be able to make their own planks at the new sawmill, and access workbenches for other skills. In the Chapel, players can work on their Prayer skill and burn any herb as incense to train even faster. In the Command Centre, players will take the control of their duchy by remotely managing other content they’ve unlocked like their port or base camp.
The Town Hall introduces a brand new feature for RuneScape. After the hall is built, players will accrue Rest XP which is automatically earned over time when logged out as well as through skilling in the fort. Rest XP can be converted into Bonus XP in any skill. This allows players to make gradual progress even when not actively playing.
Fort Forinthry: New Foundations is members-content, for more information please visit the website. RuneScape is available now on PC, Steam, iOS, and Android, complete with cross-platform progression and play on PC and mobile.
