The Doom of Mokhaiotl
The Doom is a Delve boss, and Delve bosses are a totally different beast to what you’ve fought before. Upon defeating Doom (we're assuming, of course, you're capable of such a feat) you’ll choose between leaving with your loot or fighting an even tougher version of the monster in hopes of a bigger prize. The boss will become increasingly challenging, and the rewards increasingly lucrative, capping at level 8, though you can continue to delve as many times as you like, keeping the level 8 cap. If you die, any loot you’ve earned so far will be lost, and you’ll be left empty-handed.
When the Doom is defeated, it will descend further into its burrow. Defeating it on the deeper levels increases the chance of receiving unique drops, and some unique drops will only appear at deeper, more dangerous levels. You must make all your delve progress in a single run, as returning to the surface will reset you back to delve level one.
The primary benefit to increasing your delve level is increasing your chance to snag unique rewards including: the Eye of Ayak, a new one-handed magic weapon, Avernic Treads which are a new pair of boots that allow you to combine Pegasian, Primordial, and Eternal boots for the ultimate tribrid footwear, and Confliction Gauntlets which offer an upgrade to the Tormented Bracelet.
The quantities of basic loot remain relatively consistent, however, which means that no matter how long you survive you won’t be overloaded with general resources.
There will be eight delve levels in total, each increasing in difficulty. You can keep repeating the hardest difficulty for as long as you can survive, but remember that if you do succumb to the Doom, you’ll lose everything.

Auburnvale and Fletching
If you’re skilling-inclined, you might want to swing by Auburnvale. This town on the north coast of Varlamore has had some tough times, but their beautiful forests are second-to-none. They’re also inhabited by magical ents, who are keen to help you recycle all those bows cluttering up your Bank.
Ents roam the forest, leaving offerings as they praise the land. Join them, and connect to nature while levelling your Fletching skills! Whittle totems in the likeness of the local wildlife, decorate them with leftover bows, crossbow stocks, and shields. If they impress the local ents, you’ll receive XP and other rewards.
Rewards from the Fletching activity include: the Fletching knife, an off-hand bit of equipment which will reduce some crafts by 1-tick and works for any action that requires a knife check, the Bow String Spool which can store bow strings and save inventory space, Atlatl Dart Crafting (requiring 74 Fletching), the cosmetic Greenman mask, and two new POH decorations.

The Custodia Pass Slayer Dungeon
The Custodia Pass is a hostile stretch of rocky ground that marks the border between Varlamore and Kourend, and it’s the perfect hunting ground for Slayer enthusiasts. After completing a quest, you’ll gain access to a new Slayer Dungeon teeming with creatures to slay. The Custodia Stalkers found within will drop the Antler Guard, a new tradeable offhand weapon which focuses on Prayer and Offensive bonuses (but with negative Defensive bonuses).
The Gemstone Crab
On the shores of the Tlati Rainforest lives a crab. Not just any crab. This crab is massive and covered with gems. Follow a trail of small crabs to find the Gemstone Crab and fight it together with your friends!
New Nagua
A new type of Nagua will be added which will drop the Earthbound Tecpatl as a reward. This is a two-handed twin weapon requiring 55 Attack to wield.
