Nieve is the second to highest Slayer master in Old School RuneScape, based in the Tree Gnome Stronghold and assigning tasks to players with at least combat level 85, the Old School RuneScape Wiki reports.

She stands beside the Stronghold Slayer Cave near the magic trees and southern bank and wears a Zamorakian hasta, full Bandos armour, an amulet of fury, a pirate's hook, an elysian spirit shield, and a fire cape, according to the same source.

The Wiki lists how Slayer reward points work for tasks assigned by Nieve, noting point values increase with task milestones and with the Elite Western Provinces Diary completed, as reported by the Old School RuneScape Wiki.

Specifically, the Wiki gives base point awards and boosted values with the Elite Diary as follows, as reported by the Old School RuneScape Wiki: every task awards 12 points or 15 with the Elite Diary, every tenth awards 60 or 75, every fiftieth 180 or 225, every hundredth 300 or 375, every 250th 420 or 525, and every 1,000th 600 or 750.

The Wiki also notes that a block from Nieve costs 90 Slayer reward points and that players can unlock task number increases and other abilities by spending Slayer reward points.

Role In Quest Storyline Family Relations And Afterlife

Nieve plays a key narrative role in Monkey Madness II, where the Wiki records she is recruited to help stop Glough and his experiments and later dies after a collapsing boulder kills her during the quest.

The Wiki states that after her death her gravestone appears between the small swamp and the Grand Tree's north western entrance and that her younger cousin Steve replaces her as Slayer master, with Pieve taking Steve's previous role at the Asgarnian Ice Dungeon.

The Wiki details an afterlife account where Nieve meets Yanes and later is recruited by Icthlarin to fight servants of The Devourer, with Death claiming those servants were terrified of her, and it records other family members who operate slayer areas, including Slieve, Eve, Captain Cleive, Lieve McCracken, Hieve, Weve, Breive, Weave, and Peeve.

The Wiki also records smaller notes about Nieve, including an appearance with a cave kraken in Prifddinas during the game's first birthday event, that she is the solution to the medium anagram I EVEN in Treasure Trails, and that she had a festive override wearing a santa hat during the 2023, 2024, and 2025 Christmas events.
