Hi Has anyone else gotten one or two rocks from fletching blisterwood stakes ? I got my last two rocks while doing this. (no screenshot - sorry !)

Hi No, I'm sorry, but I didn't managed to take a screenshot ! - I'm aware that I should do this, however, there is no difference in the description of a dead Vyrelord/lady so a screenshot, in this case, wouldn't really prove anything.

Hi I got a Nature Talisman from killing a Vyrelord in Darkmeyer - the droptable for the Vyrelord doesn't show this item. however, it is worth to mention that I was wearing a Ring of Wealth when the drop occurred.

Hi I have gotten an Adamant platebody(t) from using a key on one of the wooden recesses in the paterdomus Columbarium. The item is not currently on the list of possible rewards for cremating Vyres. Unfortunately I didn't make a screenshot as proof of my finding.

Yahh, this would correct this mess with having both a flail and blisterwoode items and "justify" the introduction of the blisterwood weapons. I also find this quite annoying as they fill up my bankspace - I choose to believe that it is some kind of bug, because anything else would just be stupid.

Hi Thank you all for replying. As I have written in a previous post I have switched from dragon plate + legs + boots to Black Dragonhide, this have had a positive impact on my performance as Vanstrom don't seem to be that strong in magic. I also pray against melee during the fight and this really helps reducing the damage Vanstrom deals. Regarding the Bloodvelds then I can say that I'm absolutely sure that if I attack one (to get its attention) and then switching to the other one then the first one will switch its focus back to Vanstrom in order to heal him. Anyway, I'll give Vanstrom a few more chances to submit, before I consider to raise my stats and giving him another go. Ps. I'll also try to range him with the stakes to see if I do any better this way.

Hi Thank you all for your valuable replies - they renewed my spirit and I feel like giving Vanstrom a few more tries to submit to my will. EDIT: I have had better results by switching to Black Dragonhide armor and praying against melee - still can't defeat him though... I also managed to get myself killed and now I'm a little confused whether or not I have to purchase a new gravestone in order to prolong the time I have to get back to retrieve lost equipment the next time I get defeated by Vanstrom. Tip.it's guide about gravestones is a bit vague on this subject to say the least.

Hi I'm doing the Branches of Darkmeyer quest and I have a REALLY hard time with defeating Vanstrom Klause, so I need some advise to get me through this boss fight as I have tried about eight times with the same result (which is me teleporting out to save my dear life !). My setup is: Helm of Neitiznot Dragon plate Dragon legs Dragon boots Obsidian cape Gloves barrows and Amulet of Glory As I'm very poor I don't have any spare cash to purchase new armor and my summoning skill is not high enough to get a War Tortoise (which doesn't seem to matter anyway !) My main problem is the massive drain of constitution caused by Vanstrom's speed of attack - I have a hard time fighting him while trying to eat to stay alive. I also have a problem with killing the two bloodvelds - one of them always seem to reach Vanstrom before I can kill it and as a consequence of that I'm back to square one except for the fact that I'm now low on both food and Constitution while Vanstrom is fresh and fit for fighting ! So, does anyone have any advise for me which will enable me to survive and kill Vanstrom Klause ?

Hi Thank you all for answering this, to me, embarrassing question :oops:

Hi I went on a trip to Moonclan island to hunt my last penguin for this week, while I was there I decided to waste some game time by playing Livid Farm. I switched my spellbook to Lunar magic, but now I can't remember how to switch it back again to the normal spellbook ! (really embarassing) - I thought that all I needed to do was to pray at a normal altar to make the switch, but this don't seem to work. I have looked in the guide about Magic, but the answer seems to elude me.

Leaving by Racheya comment I think this "rant" is basically just a disguise for the fact that the author has become grown and has discovered that there are other things in life besides Runescape which are much more important - for example: to study at a university among other things.

Are you sure about that ? - because I'm not ! Even if you're right, then I don't think he'll be able to avoid that some of the unfermented wines will start to ferment. and if he logs on before the bonus weekend then all his efforts will be in vain as the fermenting timer will start. All in all I don't think it is worth the trouble and the potential risk of ruin it by logging on before the weekend.

This can't be done - as far as I know ! If you add grapes to a jug of water it will still ferment when you bank it and you get the experience whenever the jug of fermenting wine has finished with fermenting. Just log out before they ferment. They will finish fermenting when you log back in. I'm sorry, but unless they have changed the behavior of how this fermenting works I still don't get it ! You won't even be able to make 30 before the first one has finished with fermenting in you bank and given you the experience.

Vampyre-kryptonite seems to be the explanation the quest gives (One vyre speculates that the tree was blessed in some way). It probably blocks the vyre's mind-reading ability, and burning vyre corpses probably improves whatever divine power it has. Or something like that. Yes, I think your assumptions are correct. This is also why I think that one of the quest rewards should have given the player an ability to make an upgraded Flail of Ivandis instead of new weapons as this would have giveng a coherence between this new quest and the older ones. Rant: I sense that it's not the same developers who have made this quest as the ones who made the previous parts - may I suggest that they read up on the questline so far... - had they done this we most likely wouldn't have had these new weapons.

Well, hold your horses for a minute !!! I'll agree that the the flail is pointless to have if you only use it for filling a druid pouch, but it can still be used for getting Mort Myre Fungi, which is used when making Super Enery potions. IMO, Jagex should have upgraded the Flail of Ivandis even further instead of making these new Blisterwood weapons !

What about crafting Blood Runes - wouldn't it be pretty annoying to end up in Mort'ton when you intended to runecraft some Blood runes just because you've forgot toggle the switch. I'll go as far as to agree with you that on a daily basis it won't have a huge impact, but that's just about as far as I can stretch myself.

Yes, but it would have been nice if one didn't had to check the shortcut settings - that's just my only problem with it. Other than that minor issue I'm also extremely satisfied with these new shortcuts - especially the one leading to Mort'ton.

Hi I have finally managed to unlock the rewards I was seeking from the Temple Trekking mini-game only to discover that two of them seem to be a bit cumbersome to use ! The rewards: Zachory: shortcut to Mort'ton through the trapdoor behind the pub in Canifis Jayene: the Ouroboros pouch 100 total levels: shortcut to the nature grotto The two rewards which I find cumbersome to use is the shortcuts as I feel they restrict my freedom a little, because now I have to remember whether or not I have set for example the nature grotto shortcut correct when I go through the gate into Mort Myre - I could end up at the nature grotto even if I only wanted to pass though the gate ! The exact same issue applies to the Canifis => Mort'ton shortcut - the potential problem are for those who craft Blood Runes. I'm asking myself whether or not it would have been that hard for Jagex to have made some sort of portal (one by the gate to Mort Myre and one down in the basement of the pub) we could have walked through and ended up the place we have unlocked instead of this toggling on/off So I'm a bit dissapointed. What do the rest of you think ? Ps. I find the Ouroboros Pouch a really nice thing to have, it is too cheap and too easy to obtain when one looks at its usefulness - Jagex did a good job on this one !

Hi I have just seen a message in my chatbox ingame and it say that: "The next Runescape game update will be in approximately 1 hour." Edit: The relevancy of this post has expired as the update has occurred !

Hi I honestly don't see your point - there is already enough content to keep a F2P going for hours, days and months and adding more content won't increase the number of members. What will increase the number of members is if Jagex start to do something about the bot population and revise their view on their customers (treat their customers in a decent manner).

Hi I have actually also thought of this too - as you say the characters have an interest in the region and one does tend to get abit emotionally atteched to the characters while trying to level them up. However, I see the problem for players who don't play Temple Trekking as they, as you have said, will have a party of level one characters. If Jagex made a quest like this then they would be spammed by players whinning about the unfairness in that they have to play a mini-game (which they don't want to) in order to be able to solve the quest easy. But none the less I think it is a good idea. Also no way that smiddi, jayene and dean would be used. The lore behind them is that they are escaping burgh de rott with your help. Pazuzu, Zachory and Rolayne on the other hand may be as they are going down there to help the fight. Can I trade Zachory in for either Jayenne or Dean? Then I'd be happy. Rolayne's a badass [bleep], and Pazuzu's awesome, but I hate Zachory. Hi I can only agree with you, Zachory definitely needs to back to one of the Wizard Towers to brush off his magic skills - I guess he must have slept when the older wizards were teaching "How to easily and effective defeat a ghast."

The lore would suit this idea very well, as it prevent us from having a HUGE party to keep track on - only four will make up the party, which is, IMO, just about enough to keep things nice and neat.

Yahh, that's just about sums the quest up I think !
