==Historical==
The Curse of Arrav was {{RSL|The Curse of Arrav|originally released in ''RuneScape''}} on [[21 July]] [[2009]], nearly 2 years after the [[August 2007 Archive of RuneScape]] that ''Old School'' was built off of.

Jagex announced plans to backport the quest during the [[Summer Summit 2024|2024 Summer Summit]], with some adjustments to bring it in line with Old School's standards as well as the overall story narrative of the game.

===Differences from original version===
* The original version had slightly different quest and skill requirements:
** {{RSL|Tale of the Muspah}} and {{RSL|Missing My Mummy}} were originally requirements, but do not exist in ''Old School''. Tale of the Muspah was instead adapted into [[Secrets of the North]].
*** However, some parts of Missing My Mummy have instead been added as parts of The Curse of Arrav. 
** 64 [[Ranged]], 64 [[Strength]], and 66 [[Thieving]] were originally requirements, which were lowered to 62 [[Ranged]], 58 [[Strength]], and 62 [[Thieving]].
** 41 [[Summoning]] was also a requirement, which does not exist in ''Old School''.
* The experience rewards were slightly different:
** 30,000 [[Mining]], 14,000 [[Thieving]], and 9,000 [[Agility]] experience were rewarded, and were increased to 40,000 experience each in ''Old School''.
** 9,000 [[Ranged]], 9,000 [[Strength]], 2,500 [[Slayer]], and 4,000 {{RSL|Summoning}} experience were originally rewarded.
** Access to Zemouregal's Fortress was not a reward in the original, with only two rooms being available during and after the quest. The rest of the fortress became accessible during the quest's sequel, {{RSL|Ritual of the Mahjarrat}}.

==Trivia==
* {{RSL|Tale of the Muspah}}, {{RSL|Missing My Mummy}}, The Curse of Arrav and {{RSL|The Temple at Senntisten}} were originally intended to release as a single quest called Mysteries of the Mahjarrat, which would have been a multi-part special quest in the same vein as [[Recipe for Disaster]]. They were instead released throughout 2009 as a quest series. As a result, Missing My Mummy and The Curse of Arrav being combined into one quest in ''Old School'' brings things closer to the quest's original vision.
