Welcome back to another exciting MineScape update! We're thrilled to bring you a packed release featuring our latest quest adventure, significant quality-of-life improvements, and some long-awaited fixes that the community has been reporting. Let's dive right into it!
Tower of Life Quest
Prepare yourself for one of MineScape's most bizarre and ethically questionable adventures yet! The Tower of Life quest brings you face-to-face with mysterious experiments that challenge the very nature of life itself.
Located just east of the Ardougne Monastery, the imposing Tower of Life stands as a testament to ambitious research. When you arrive, you'll discover that the construction workers have gone on strike, leaving the project's masterminds desperately seeking help to complete their mysterious work.
This quest features unique challenges that will test your problem-solving skills, moral compass, and willingness to delve into the unknown.
Quest Requirements:
- 10 Construction (not boostable)
Quest Rewards:
- 2 Quest Points
- 1,000 Construction experience
- 500 Crafting experience
- 500 Thieving experience
- Builder's costume (permanent)
- Access to creature creation system (post-quest)
Creature Creation
The real adventure begins after completing the quest! A unique Creature Creation system becomes available, allowing you to engage with the mysterious research you've helped complete.
Some of the creatures you can create include:
- Newtroost (Combat Level 19)
- Unicow (Combat Level 25)
- Spidine (Combat Level 42)
- Swordchick (Combat Level 46)
- Jubster (Combat Level 87)
- Frogeel (Combat Level 103)
Post-Quest Benefits
This system provides an excellent way to obtain herblore materials:
- Unicorn horns
- Red spiders' eggs
Construction Improvements
We're excited to deliver some major quality-of-life improvements to the Construction skill!
Room Management
Players can now move rooms around in their Player-Owned Houses! This feature allows you to rearrange your house layout without having to destroy and rebuild rooms, giving you much more flexibility in designing your perfect home.
Staircase Navigation
House staircases now function like proper Minecraft stairs! Simply walk into them to climb up or down naturally. No more clicking to teleport between floors!

To improve the overall gameplay experience, we're announcing the addition of 6 new worlds to the MineScape network!
Regional Distribution:
- North America: 4 new worlds (bringing the total to 8 NA worlds)
