Historical

The Curse of Arrav was 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 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:
  • Tale of the Muspah and 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 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, Ritual of the Mahjarrat.

Trivia

• Tale of the Muspah, Missing My Mummy, The Curse of Arrav and 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.
