Port Sarim Invasion | Eastern Lands Crew Miniquest

A graphically updated Port Sarim is under attack from vicious pirates headed up by the evil slaver Jed, whom you first battled in Meg’s cases. Fight back and earn reward tokens for some really cool cosmetic gear.

Also, get to grips with a new Port Sarim miniquest to gather yourself a crew – a requirement for accessing the Eastern Lands, which are coming July 25th.

Port Sarim Invasion
This is a temporary free-to-play event linked to the upcoming Eastern Lands. This event will run from now until 25th July at 23:59 UTC.

Please note that combat is not safe. In the event that you die in combat, you will need to reclaim your items from your gravestone, or from Death.


Port Sarim is under attack from Jed and his vicious band of slavers! From skilling to killing, there is loads you can do to repel the pirates and earn fantastic reward tokens in the process.

Once you have enough tokens, convert them via your inventory into Supply Caches containing a host of awesome items like oar weapon overrides, various XP lamps, a Skulls pirate cape and the bizarrely awesome cannonball head cosmetic.

To introduce you to the Token system, talk to either Seasinger Jemi in Burthorpe or the Guard Captain in Port Sarim and receive an initial stash of tokens to get you started. Earn more Tokens by:

• Killing the attacking pirates (also gives Combat XP)
• Making cannonballs (also gives Smithing or Herblore XP)
• Making batches of gunpowder (also gives Smithing or Herblore XP)
• Repairing the prison walls (also gives Crafting or Construction XP)
• Firing the cannon at Jed’s ship (also gives you Ranged or Firemaking XP)

*Click on the tokens in your inventory to bring up the event interface. Should you wish, this will allow you to toggle which kind of XP you receive from each Port Sarim Invasion activity, and turn on/off Combat XP.

This is permanent content, and a requirement for accessing the Eastern Lands

This miniquest is a requirement for sailing to the Arc Islands and beginning your Eastern Lands adventure. Start it by talking to Trader Stan, whose fantastic standing animation “Stan-ing Around” can be won at the miniquest’s end!

Port Sarim Graphical Improvements
Although it’s a little bit on fire at the moment, Port Sarim is looking its finest thanks to a brand new graphical update. Sails are taller and brighter and everything is looking shipshape and Sarim fashion. Don’t just take our word for it, pay a visit and judge for yourselves!

Boat to the Arc Community Event – starting Thursday 14th July
In the vein of Lost Sword of Raddallin and the Heart of Gielinor Encampment, we’re proud to present a boat building community event themed around getting to the Eastern Lands.

This will be covered in full later this week, but it is worth noting that more tokens for rewards in the Port Sarim Invasion event can be earned by taking part, along with a unique set of rewards.
