Hello everyone!

Finally, a long awaited update – Theatre of Blood is here! Fight six different bosses for a chance at looting some of the best items in the game! In addition to regular OSRS rewards, two custom rewards are available – Verzik’s Enchantment & Justiciar kiteshield. You can see the rewards in your collection log. Below follows some useful information regarding the raid:

• To enter, you just need to enter the door and wait for the raid to start. A maximum amount of five people can join at once, or 20 if a ToB event is active. You don’t need to be in a specific clan chat; just join and wait for others to join up.
• The raid consists of six bosses: Maiden of Sugadinti, Pestilent Bloat, Vasilias Nylocas, Sotetseg, Xarpus & Verzik Vitur. They all have similar combat strategies to OSRS, but most of them are dumbed down to make it a bit easier.
• The scaling of the raid is hard in terms of HP levels at the beginning; I encourage you to go with a group to begin with. In the future we will be adjusting the scaling. We have done this to ensure we don’t make the raids too easy to begin with since the rewards are very powerful!
• Points are given based on the damage you deal. Every 10 damage (5 damage if using bonus raid scroll) you deal, you receive one point. These points are used to calculate your drop chance at the end of the raid. Note that the points in the picture below is from test mode with lowered NPC HP.
• After the Pestilent Bloat room & Xarpus room, you may purchase supplies at the expense of points. Note that doing so will result in lesser drop chance.
• Theatre of Blood is NOT a safe death for hardcore ironman, unlike Chambers of Xeric.
• If everyone in the team dies, the raid is ended. If you die, however, you will be put outside the room of the boss you died at and have to depends on your team to finish that boss.
