Desert pantheon aura detail.png

The desert pantheon aura is an aura that was available with the 2016–2017 Premier Club. Players who did not already have it can craft it by combining 2,000 desert pantheon fragments. 50 fragments can be earned each time all the objectives in a Shifting Tomb are completed. Alternatively, it can be purchased with 2 bonds. For those players who had the 2016-2017 Premier Club or lost the item, the aura is reclaimable for free via the Loyalty Programme Shop in-game in the tier 5 auras section.

The aura generates charges that can be spent on a variety of different effects. It starts with 0 charges upon creation and generates 250 charges each day, storing a maximum of 500 charges. It does not recharge until the player logs out and back in or switches worlds.

The aura is not found in the Aura Management interface and is instead an item that is equipped in the aura slot. Other auras can be active at the same time as the pantheon aura, with the exception of the Wisdom of Scabaras effect.

History[edit | edit source]

Desert pantheon aura is an aura that was available with the 2016–2017 Premier Club. The aura became unusable after 31 December 2017[1]; however, users who purchased Premier membership after 31 December 2016 were able to continue using the aura until the last day of their Premier membership (i.e., sometime in January 2017). During 2017, losing membership status, regardless of whether or not it was regained, would also result in the aura becoming unusable. Upon attempting to use the aura in its unusable state, the player received a game message that read, "You no longer hold the power to commune with the Desert Pantheon Gods."

Prior to the release of Menaphos, the Feast of Amascut was unusable, as in her absence from Menaphos her power had been "dissipated" from the aura. Amascut's effect was released along with Menaphos on 5 June 2017, but was not usable until 12 June 2017.

As of 24 February 2020, the aura was made re-obtainable for players who did not already have it by combining 2,000 desert pantheon fragments.

Re-release changes[edit | edit source]

Upon re-release on 24 February 2020, the following option was removed from the aura.

Name Charges Effect
Ward of Icthlarin 125 2 sign of life effects, to be used within an hour

Hardcore ironmen could not use this effect.

Receiving the effect prompts the message Your communion with Icthlarin was successful and you will receive 2 free Sign of Life effects in the next hour.
