RuneScape adds solo Ghrazi Blood Knights and reveals boss drop rates

Posted on by

Jagex has added a solo mode for RuneScape’s Ghrazi Blood Knights fight, letting players take on Lord and Lady Ghrazi in Havenhythe without needing a duo partner. The mode is live now, and the studio has also published the encounter’s drop rates.

The solo version isn’t just the duo fight with the bosses cut in half. Jagex adjusted health scaling, attack timing, and several mechanics so one player can handle both knights. In normal mode, the bosses have 850,000 life points solo, compared with 1.5 million in duo. At 100% enrage, that becomes 1.1 million solo versus 2 million duo, rising to 2.8 million solo at 2000%+ enrage.

The two knights now alternate melee and magic attacks, giving solo players a more readable prayer-flicking rhythm. Some of Lord Ghrazi’s specials also start later so they don’t stack unfairly with Lady Ghrazi’s attacks. Blood Bomb now bounces between the player and Lord Ghrazi, while Phase 3 adds a timed prep section where killing Sanguine Tumours banks time before the player is sent to the Sanguine Heart. The solo version also disables Crimson Lament and Blood Challenge, the encounter’s anti-tank debuffs.

On the reward side, every kill gives guaranteed Crimson Ichor per player, starting at 1 and scaling up to 4 at 2000%+ enrage. Each player gets one common loot pile in both solo and duo. The Ghrazi Fauld pet is 1/500 in normal mode and 1/300 in hard mode, with a 100-kill threshold. Rare drop chances range from 1/600 in normal mode to 1/25 at 2000%+ enrage. A successful rare roll has a 40% chance to award Malachi’s Tooth, 40% for Malachi’s Claw, and 20% for the Invoke Arisen Flesh codex.

The same weekly update also outlined more Late-Game Rebalance changes, which Jagex is working toward launching on November 23. Vorago rewards are being changed so up to 10 players can receive drops, with five enhanced reward piles per kill. Vorago’s pet rates are going up, and Seismic Wand and Seismic Singularity drop rates are increasing from 1/200 to 1/120 per pile.

Other planned balance changes include Queen Black Dragon’s pet rate improving from 1/2,500 to 1/1,000, and Araxxor’s Mirrorback Spiders reflecting 25% of damage instead of 100%. Jagex is also removing Research Mode and Alch Mode from the Spring Cleaner to help curb GP inflation, leaving only Disassemble mode, which will use charges.
