Rewards

2 Quest points

15,000 Smithing experience

15,000 Hunter experience

Access to the Armoured Zombies dungeon you visited during the quest

5k Experience lamp and 5 Kudos from Historian Minas after completing the quest

Zombie axe

After the quest, you can kill the Armoured Zombies in the dungeon. The Armoured Zombies will have a chance (around 1/800) to drop the Broken zombie axe. With 70 smithing, you can fix it at an anvil with a hammer in your inventory.

The axe requires 65 Attack to wield. It provides 105 slash, 90 crush attacks, and 105 strength bonuses. The attack speed of the axe is 5.0 ticks (3.0s). So, it does slightly less average damage than the abyssal whip, even though it has higher attack and strength bonuses than the whip.

Hope you like the quest.
