[[Soul Wars]] has a dark underbelly that [[Nomad]] would rather you didn't see. His disappearances have become more and more frequent of late, and each time he returns looking...different. It seems he has been working on something with dangerous implications for the whole of ''RuneScape'', and there is a chance – but only a chance – that you can stop it.

Our second Grandmaster [[quest]] is wildly different from [[While Guthix Sleeps]]; instead of searching the world for answers, Nomad's Requiem is set wholly beneath Soul Wars. Don't be foolish enough to think that this makes it less challenging, however. Indeed, expect quite the opposite: this quest is densely packed with intricate puzzles, punishing environments and at least one battle that will push you harder than almost any other on ''RuneScape'', whatever combat level you’ve reached. You have been warned!

Those who persevere and complete this quest will be rewarded with [[Zeal points|Zeal Points]] (among other things), which are stored at Soul Wars and can be spent in your own time. Zeal Points can be traded in for varying amounts of XP in any [[combat]] skill (except [[Summoning]]), [[Slayer]] XP, [[charm]]s to train Summoning, or a [[pet]] [[Slayer]] creature. For a more detailed explanation of how Zeal Points work, check out the Soul Wars rewards on the Knowledge Base.

'''In other news...'''

We have improved how [[Zeal points|Zeal]] earned from playing Soul Wars is cashed in. If when spending 10 or 100 Zeal you gain a level in your chosen skill, then your new level will be taken into account as soon as it is earned, and the remainder of the 10 or 100 Zeal will be applied based on your new level. Remember that if you spend 100 Zeal at a time, you receive a 10% bonus to any [[Experience|XP]] gained, so now it is better than ever to save up your Zeal.

We've adjusted the apparent [[lag]] when using your inventory and clicking and dragging items around. This also means you won't drop the wrong item selected if you'd clicked too fast. Additionally, a slot will not remain highlighted when it shouldn't.

The tooltip description for the [[Soul Split]] curse has been corrected to reflect the actual amount of [[hitpoints]] restored.

You can now set an option to not offer the ability to switch between prayers and curses when recharging your [[Prayer]] at an [[altar]]. A few altars originally left out, including the ones found in the [[God Wars Dungeon]], now offer this switching facility.

We've added a huge amount of [[drop]] sounds to items. It's a nice little feature that should let you realise if you've dropped something by accident that you didn’t mean to.

The [[2009 Christmas event|Christmas 2009 holiday event]] has now been removed from the game.
