Those who have unraveled the mysteries of the plague in West Ardougne, met with the elves and infiltrated the Death Guard will find themselves able to help Arianwyn once again, as they go Within the Light.
In reactivating the Temple of Light’s safeguards, you may have thwarted the Death Guard’s plans to harness the ancient elven power of a certain altar – at least for the time being – but just what is so special about this altar? Why did the elder elves go to such trouble to protect this one particular altar? Find out as you further explore the mysterious Temple of Light.
This quest is a continuation of RuneScape’s longest-running quest line, the first three parts of which –
Plague City,
Biohazard and
Underground Pass – were originally released for RuneScape Classic. Four further quests later –
Regicide,
Roving Elves, and
Mourning’s Ends Parts I and II – plus the
Catapult Construction side story, and we reach Within the Light.
As it has been a while since those quests were released, this quest introduces a new NPC in Lletya – the elven scribe – who will happily help you to recall your past elf-related glories. Within the Light ties together some of the strands of this storyline, which will start to give you a better idea of what is to come.

The long awaited MEP3! Too bad I'm non members, I have all reqs too
Someone post rewards and a summary of the quest for me?
Zamma
Oct 13 2009, 08:33 AM
Finally, MEP3 is finally out, so many people wanted this.
I hope it lets you into that elven city. That would be awesome.
I have all the requirements and did all the quests, so I'm set to go. I might wait for a guide though. The requirements are fairly high, but the quest length is medium, so that's interesting. Jagex labeled it as a master quest though, so maybe it's just really hard but not very long.
Hopefully will be followed up with another elf quest soon?

They are aiming for higher level content, and also I wonder if they will ever update the rewards for old quests (more).
Right now some are not too good at the standards of NOW.

There are probably other better rewards, but I doubt they'd give them away in an Objective.
To be quite honest, it'll be a while before I do it, and even if there wasn't I'd wait for a Guide. I'm lazy

I like the withdrawing with 'K' or 'M' and that you can get training swords/bows again.

Grandmaster Quest my ass. It got completed around half an hour after the update.

Oct 13 2009, 10:54 AM
It will only be disappointing if it's another 5 years before they do the next quest in the series. Otherwise, 90k xp for about an hour's work, plus it advances the story? Won't find me complaining.

Too bad I don't have the Ranged level. Working on it though.
And no Prifddinas until 2 more quests or so, says Jagex.

The last suggested name for Clan Chat channels persists when changing worlds and between logouts, and will attempt to rejoin the channel if it still exists.
The Wilderness Agility Course has been added to the allowed areas for Bounty and Bounty (+1) worlds.
When inputting numbers (for example, when withdrawing items from your bank) you can now use 'k' (or 'K') for thousand, and 'm' (or 'M') for million.
1st and last updates are exceptional, after all this campaigning the word has finally gone to jagex, Thank you Jagex!

Aaaah! Just a bit more than one Ranged level to go (I'm 5k from 74) before I can get my quest cape back... but I hate Ranged.

If it works (as a single test has done),
, but it would probably be helpful if there was an option to disable it (rants on the RSOF). If it doesn't work every time, add that to the list of (at least) half a dozen other bugs with Clan Chats.

4 more Agility levels and 3 more Fletching.
Going to take a while.

Not planning on doing it.
Don't have half of the requirements, not planning to train them up just for a long quest.
The Who?
Oct 13 2009, 02:12 PM
Yowzer, looks like a sweet quest! (35k agility reward!). I also like the M and K updates, makes counting those 0's allot less important (as a free player with 300+ items in bank, if I accidentally take out all of my cash, I can't put it back it)

Oct 13 2009, 02:29 PM
Looks interesting and i would like to have done it but i just can't justify getting 14 woodcutting levels just for more exp

wow. another quest to add to the Mourning's End line. nice. can't wait to try it, once i get the reqs. xD

These are long over due. I need a few range levels and agility levels. Next time I get members I'll get the levels

The scribe Gwir, in the room next to Arianwyn in Lletya, will talk to you after the quest. You get a chance to tell the entire story of the Plague City series to her. There are also four books on her bookshelf which you can take and put in your POH:
The Creation of Prifddinas
Eastern Discovery
Eastern Settlement
The great divide
which are medium length tomes about the olden days of elves in Gielinor.

As a point of note, the books aren't new - IIRC, I found them on the shelves when I first gained access to Lletya, which was about 2 years ago.

Great news to me. Already got all levels needed, and this gives me inspiration to finally do ME I and II. Perfect for taking a break from my current "road to 99 woodcutting" efforts.
