Choosing a Gang: Shield of Arrav F2P Quest for Runescape Gold Hunters

It is very important at this time to decide which gang you wish to join for your rsgold hunter. You need a member of the opposite gang to cooperate with you in order to complete this quest. This choice will show up for future quests if you decide to become a member. One recommendation, though: if you are a skiller, you can choose the Black Arm gang and have someone else from the same gang kill the weapon master for you. Anyway, the choice ultimately depends on you.
