Introduction The death of Bandos released fragments of his divine energy which have begun to coalesce in unstable wisps near the base of Ice Mountain. Intrigued, the Zamorakian Magical Institute has sent an enterprising team of diviners to learn about this energy and to see if it can be used to forward their goals. Location Small wisps of unstable divine energy can be found northwest of Ice Mountain. The Zamorakian diviners have set up a small base of operations just outside the Black Knights' Fortress. Marked on the map are the wisp colony (red), the containment zones (green), and the camp (blue). Requirements At least level 40 Divination is required to participate in the activity, though level 89 Divination is required to obtain all of its benefits. Bringing armour, weapons, some food and potions will improve your effectiveness. A bank at the campsite can be accessed for 15 amounts of divine energy. Getting Started The Head Diviner in the camp will explain to you how you can help with their research, of course in exchange for experience and new reward items. Several actions need to be performed: - Moving the unstable wisps to containment zones in the camp. - Stabilising the wisps in the containment zones. - Harvesting the stabilised springs for energy and memories. - Shattering collected memories in the search for divine knowledge. Gameplay Movement To begin, you need to move the unstable wisps towards the containment zones, which are four 5x5 areas demarcated around the campsite. To do so, you need to focus on the unstable wisp, which will slowly draw it towards you. The mechanisms for this are similar to the Great Orb Project. Note that once you interact with an unstable wisp, you must bring in to the containment zone within one minute (extremely achievable), or else it will dissipate and damage you for 10% of your maximum LP. Stabilisation Once the wisp is within the containment zone, you will have the option of stabilising it. Doing so will award you with some Divination XP, and convert the unstable wisp into one of the following wisp variants: - Violent wisp (level 40) - Malicious wisp (level 50) - Hateful wisp (level 60) - Spiteful wisp (level 70) - Vengeful wisp (level 80) Harvesting Wisps Once the wisp has been stabilised, you will have the option of harvesting it. As Bandos was a violent and most vicious god, his divine energy is much more volatile and can produce several negative effects when harvested. - Violent wisps damage the diviner for 1% of his maximum LP for every harvesting action. - Malicious wisps may briefly show a red flare, and harvesting while this flare is active will damage diviners for 3% of their maximum LP for every harvesting action. - Hateful wisps have a 10% chance of destabilising after every harvesting action, which will require you to feed it 12 hateful energy to restabilise it. - Spiteful wisps reduce your prayer points by 1% of their maximum level for every harvesting action. You cannot harvest spiteful wisps without enough prayer points. - Vengeful wisps have a 5% chance of reabsorbing all vengeful memories you have collected after every harvesting action. Additionally, on rare occasions, harvesting a wisp will cause a Mind Remnant to appear. Mind Remnants are hybrid-type monsters of the same tier as the wisp they originated from. Killing a Mind Remnant will award you with 10 of that wisp's energy, in addition to allowing you to harvest from it again. Players can harvest any stabilised wisp, whether they were responsible for bringing it to the containment zone or not. Likewise, they may attack any Mind Remnants that appear, receiving divine energy upon its death. However, bringing a wisp to the containment zone increases your chance of obtaining memories from it. Every harvesting action on a wisp grants you a small amount of divine energy based on your Divination level, as well as a chance of obtaining a divine memory. Stabilised wisps last for 45 to 60 seconds, before dissipating harmlessly. Shattering Memories Once you have collected an inventory of memories, you can take them to the Divine Researcher in the camp. He will offer to instantly shatter all the memories in your inventory, though he will first warn you that they may have several damaging effects. You can toggle this warning on and off by talking to him. When you shatter memories, you have a choice of turning it into energy, XP, or enhanced XP by contributing more energy to it. - Each violent memory shattered will damage you for 1% of your maximum LP. - Each malicious memory shattered has a 30% chance of giving 10% less energy or XP. - Each hateful memory shattered reduces your chance of harvesting memories by 10% for the next 1.2 seconds. The duration will stack, but the harvesting reduction will not. - Each spiteful memory shattered will reduce your prayer points by 1% of their maximum amount. If a memory is shattered when you have not enough prayer points, you will not gain anything from it. - Each vengeful memory shattered has a 2% chance of creating a Vengeful Mind Remnant. This is increased to 2.5% when using the enhanced XP option. Rewards The ZMI is not unappreciative, and keeps track of how much you have helped their research. For crossing several milestones, they will offer you pieces of their very unique Divination gear. 500 violent memories shattered - ZMI boots (boots slot) 1500 malicious memories shattered - ZMI focus (neck slot) 4000 hateful memories shattered - ZMI hood (head slot) 8000 spiteful memories shattered - ZMI robe skirt (legs slot) 15000 vengeful memories shattered - ZMI robe top (body slot) Each piece of gear, when worn, gives you a 1.4% boost to Divination XP gain. The full set grants a 7.5% boost to Divination XP gain, and can be retrieved in future for an equal amount of the respective divine energy. However, the chaotic energy that provides this depth of clarity will result in 1 point of damage being dealt every time you gain Divination XP for each piece of gear equipped. Such is the price to pay for being a servant of chaos. Additionally, whilst harvesting stabilised wisps, you have a 1/32 chance of obtaining a chronicle fragment of the same type as the wisp you harvested it from. This fragment is non-stackable, and goes directly into your inventory. Bringing it to the Divine Researcher will grant you an amount of Divination XP, and once you have turned in enough of these fragments, the Divine Researcher will be able to reconstruct some of the memories of Bandos for you to observe. Once you have discovered this memory of Bandos you will no longer be able to collect chronicles of the same nature. Using the divine energy of Bandos can produce some warlike signs and portents, which may be of use to the combat-inclined. Finally, for those who have completely mastered the art of Divination, as well as fully completed The World Wakes and Missing, Presumed Death, there is a single wisp in the underground of the Black Knight Fortress Catacombs. Harvesting a memory from this wisp will reveal more lore of Bandos' past. Tables Divine Sparks are non-stackable inventory items crafted from divine energy. They can be triggered to unleash their effect. There is no limit to the number of sparks you can produce per day. All portents and sparks are untradeable. Energy and signs are tradeable.

Rolling back specific skills. What.

Not a clue what that meant. TNPW explain it.

Battle Maison, and as far as I know Wifi battles, don't add to the Pokedex at all. Anyway to even get the Oval Charm in the first place you need to complete the Regional Pokedex by capturing everything, implying you'd need to complete the National Pokedex likewise to get the Shiny Charm.

I think the Battle Maison encounters don't add to Pokedex or anything. And the shiny charm is for catching all of them, anyhow?

Oh dang, aren't you that guy who alched his SGS?

Ohhhhh shit What about those other dudes kota and bling? lol

The world missed your achievement, rip.

Yeah, but I only have SS, so I can't get it. Unless a Kyogre from Gen 3 can be used to unlock Rayquaza there?

Ugh having to migrate Rayquaza from [bleep]ing generation 3 ...

Should I bother trying to cook pasta tomorrow for lunch or should I just heat up my leftover rice? On one hand the rice is much simpler, but then again I bought that pasta a few days ago and it'd be a real cooked meal as opposed to reheated thingies ... TNPW take an arrow to the knee.

What Pokemon can you skip and still have it count as NatDex completion? I might go for that if we don't have to get retarded crap like Deoxys or Darkrai.

TNPW comment

"Catapults are terrible devices. They move rocks from their proper Guthix-assigned positions." "Deception of the people by their rulers is a terrible thing." "You should not make light of your tampering with the balance of nature. Always treat the natural world with respect."

Just saw that too, for all we know the drop rate of orb/wand could be 1/2048 now so the rate of an abyssal item remains at 1/512.

I saw a post that brought that up too. Maybe Carbink can evolve through some special event or with some event item?

I thought they mentioned that Seren wouldn't be linked to the Elf City any more (FAQ). It'd also be pretty beastly if they had a long fixed time requirement as a prerequisite for a quest.

NOPE dvd

I made a breakfast for myself. It was three slices of bread with sesame seeds, and strawberry jam spread over the inner face of the bottom two slices in the stack. TNPW call someone.

It's probably 1/1024 for orb and 1/1024 for wand. Whip should still be 1/512.

And how many of those 39166 Defence levels were pures getting ruined? :P Pity it's not really as informative as the XP graph because not all the levels are worth the same :s

It's probably too late to warn you, but you're carrying 5 hours' worth of prayer renewals.

Not watched it. Is it out?

It's Caves, Q :P You can afford to bring a bunch more prayer potions. Obsidian is a safer bet since it will make Jad a lot less deadly if you miss a switch. Make use of Rejuvenate for healing/Resonance for catching a big hit (does anything else in Caves hit really high these days?).

You actually do seem like a beard and walking stick kind of guy.
