This week Runescape introduced ancient effigies to the potential loot you can get when you defeat certain monsters and creatures. Members who are up for the challenge of going against stronger, more powerful enemies will be more likely to find ancient effigies.
When it comes to ancient effigies, the saying that knowledge equals power has never been more true. These rare drops require you to possess various skills between levels 91-97 so you can feed them knowledge and get to the object stored inside them. Each effigy craves knowledge and in return grants power.

The skills that are needed are always paired with another skill so you can have a choice of which to use
- Agility or Crafting
- Construction or Thieving
- Cooking or Firemaking
- Fishing or Farming
- Fletching or Woodcutting
- Herblore or Hunter
- Mining or Smithing
- Runecrafting or Summoning
That’s not all though, you will have to be especially knowledgeable in at least one the skill pairs to successfully investigate the effigy.
Starved ancient effigies require a skill level of at least 91 to investigate, and become nourished. Nourished ancient effigies require a skill level of at least 93 to investigate, and become satedSated ancient effigies require a skill level of at least 95 to investigate, and become gorged. Gorged ancient effigies require a skill level of at least 97 to investigate, and will crumble to dust, their mysterious purpose fulfilled.
The ancient effigies rewards you with experience in the skill that you used to feed it knowledge.
- Starved effigies award 15,000XP
- Nourished effigies award 20,000XP
- Sated effigies award 25,000XP
- Gorged effigies award 30,000XP
The rewards are great but the journey there is a bit gruesome. Especially for low level players who are far from the 91-97 level mark. But luckily there is assistance available. There are programs known as Runescape 2 bots that can help you get those skill levels to where they need to be in record time.
Busy with work or school? No problem. These bots will get to work for you while you are off living your life. So whatever skills you need to level whether it be mining, woodcutting, or crafting, just put these RS2 autos to work so you can start collecting your rare items.
