From 4pm on Friday 10th August to 10am on Monday 13th August (BST), all players with an active RuneScape membership subscription will be able to participate in our fourth Combat Beta featured event: the Barrows. You’ll need to take on the ever-unrestful spirits of the Barrows brothers in their tombs in order to loot the prize chest and secure the final point for the unique beta tester reward - The Mad Scientist Outfit:


For those of you not in the know, the Mad Scientist Outfit comprises of five pieces in total, but it can only be obtained by attending all four of our Combat Beta featured events. To qualify for this final piece, you’ll need to:

• Be on a beta world between 4pm Friday 10th August & 10am Monday 13th August (BST).
• Successfully loot the final chest in the barrows. You must claim the loot to fully qualify.

Once you’ve completed all four weekend events, you’ll be awarded the costume on your live (non-beta) account. You can get more information on this and upcoming events over at our Combat Beta events forum.
