    Some of the tasks were leaked on r/runescape:

     

     

     

    Here’s the list as it stands, though it may change considerably before release:

    “--Complete 500 laps of the Hefin agility course to unlock the title ‘the But-I-Already-Have-99-Agilityer’.

    --Talk to Arianwyn while wearing a completed Seren symbol. For additional rewards, sell your max stacks of snape grass and cups of tea.

    --Create one of each type of crystal weapon. Never use them.

    --Mix a wyrmfire potion from scratch within the Iorwerth district while skeletal wyverns are on your blocked assignments list.

    --Catch a crystal impling that somebody else spawned.

    --Follow Mod Raven on Twitter.

    --Take a gnome glider to the far corner of Prifddinas instead of using the free, unlimited teleport right to the center of the city.

    --Plant a second crystal acorn (HINT: if you are having trouble obtaining one as a very rare reward from skilling, remember that you can always max a second account to claim another for free).

    --Figure out where we moved Eluned.

    --Claim all 14 pot lid chronicles from firing pot lids in the Ithell pottery oven.”

    All in all I think it’s a pretty fair set, should take a while to complete but keep in mind being able to claim those 80 battlestaves a day without having to walk through the disgusting low-level peasant filth in Varrock will be well worth the time.

    In case people didn't know, you can still use Kuradal's dungeon if you're on a task from Morvran.

     

    Oh I know was just kinda disappointed thought there was suppose to be one. Kinda why I got my nub account access to Prif d'oh

     

    Sorry, your post about the dungeon appeared as I was typing mine, it wasn't a direct reply to your's :P

     

    I agree about the dungeon although I guess they count the Rush of Blood dungeon and Morvran's dungeon.

    Double XP Weekend - Coming 1st November

     

    Time for a Double XP Weekend - a RuneScape treat to warm you as the nights draw in!

     

    From the 1st of November to the 2nd of November, RuneScape members will enjoy double XP in combat and skilling activities.

     

    Free players won't be left out in the cold, either, as they'll enjoy +20% XP on eligible activities.

     

    XP Weekends are a time-honoured RuneScape community favourite, and there'll be plenty of events around the time.

     

    If you're new to the game, or just want a reminder of how XP Weekends work, head over to the wiki and read our FAQ.

     

    There's plenty of time to prepare, so start stocking up on materials now, and look forward to that sweet XP.

     

     

    See you then!

    Why is almost everyone in Gielinor so hostile?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Given mass murder seems to be well within the law in Gielinor I'm not sure I would be overly welcoming to someone who races across the land killing everything in his path. Even less so given said person has probably at some point killed a family member, pet or friend.

     

    Also we just barge into people's houses, talk to them like it's normal, snoop around and steal any of their possessions that aren't fastened down.

     

    We certainly won't be winning "citizen of the year" anytime soon.

    26-Aug-2014: Barbarian Assault Redux

    in General Discussion

    Barbarian Assault Redux

     

    Barbarian Assault is brought bang up to date in today's RuneScape update – inspired by PrimalMoose's winning pitch at RuneFest 2013.

    There's an all-new hard mode, where you'll rally your friends to take down the terrifying Penance King.

    Existing rewards that you know and love have been revitalised, and we’ve added some new rewards into the mix.

    The new rewards include four pocket-slot insignias - granting benefits to combat, gathering and healing - and a lore book revealing the origins of the Penance and their king.

    There are also charged versions of the insignias which are even more powerful, but must be kept charged with an insignia recharge – a rare reward from the Penance Queen, or looted from the Penance King.

    Finally, there's a graphical rework of the Penance creatures, plus countless fixes, tweaks and quality-of-life improvements.

    Read on for further details, or log in now and head over to the Barbarian Assault HQ, far north of Ardougne.

     

     

    bts_news_images-01162636.jpg

     

    What's Barbarian Assault?

     

    Barbarian Assault is a safe, team-based minigame where you'll help the Fremennik hold back an onslaught of extra-dimensional horrors: the Penance.

    You'll take on one of four roles - Attacker, Defender, Collector or Healer - and work with your teammates to survive ten waves - facing the deadly Penance Queen at the end.

    Succeed, and you'll receive honour points to spend on rewards. These include Penance-themed armour and weapons, plenty of bonus XP, and a whole host of new rewards released today.

    If you've never given Barbarian Assault a go, now's the time. The best way to get into the game is to head over to the Barbarian Assault HQ - accessible with a games necklace, or a walk north of Ardougne - and speak to Captain Cain for a full tutorial.

     

    Hard Mode

     

    The core element of the pitch was a hard mode, aimed at challenging high-level players with top-end gear, where you'd encounter the mighty Penance King. That's exactly what we've brought you today.

    Barbarian_Assault_News-26095255.jpg

    While setting up, the group leader can switch between normal and hard mode on the Recruitment interface, or through a right-click option on the recruitment scroll – you can only access this by right-clicking on the recruitment scroll. Everyone in the team must have defeated the Penance Queen since the rework to be eligible for Hard Mode.

    The first nine waves will be significantly more difficult than before, with larger swarms of Penance creatures, all with upgraded abilities and stats improved over their normal-mode counterparts.

    If it gets too difficult, you can switch back to normal mode during any wave. However, you forfeit the option to fight the Penance King in the final wave.

    Please note: we will not be publishing any information on the Penance King's mechanics on our wiki until Thursday the 28th of August.

     

    New Rewards

     

    This rework wouldn't be complete without some sweet new rewards:

    • Penance insignias are powerful pocket-slot items that provide benefits related to the Barbarian Assault player roles outside the minigame. Each has a permanent passive benefit, which can be temporarily increased by applying insignia recharge tokens.
    • Attacker's insignia: gives a chance to apply a damage-over-time effect in combat.
    • Defender's insignia: increases your armour bonus.
    • Collector's insignia: increases your luck with drops, as well as Agility and Barbarian Firemaking XP
    • Healer's insignia: increases your prayer bonus and health restored by food.
    • New titles, including 'the Penance Slayer' - for defeating the Penance King - and one for mastering each of the roles. We now have two tiers of role titles; a basic version and a mastered role.
    • The Account of Aesa Fellsdottir is a lore book chronicling the fevered dreams of its author, in which she discovers the origin of the Penance and their king. You can purchase it from the reward shop alongside other rewards.

    We've also updated many of the existing rewards:

    • The Penance trident still has a chance of saving at least one rune when casting spells, and the Penance master trident has a greater chance. The tridents now also act as water staffs and possess a special attack called reap which does up to 200% damage of your active spell.
    • The Penance horn and master horn are now just cosmetic items, as the double XP they used to give is now given through the bonus XP system.
      Other Improvements

     

    Barbarian Assault is one of RuneScape's longest-standing minigames, and it was important to bring it in-line with today's game:

    • All Penance creatures have received a gloriously slimy graphical update.
    • Shout actions previously performed from the Penance horn are now abilities, and can be activated in the action bar.
    • Penance combat stats are buffed to make them a challenge appropriate for today's game.
    • The green and blue eggs have been made more useful
    • Action bars can be set up in the waiting room.
    • Poison food and lures now stack in the inventory.
    • The hammer from the tool belt now works within the minigame.
    • Wave tickets now stack, grant access to lower-numbered wave rooms, and are tradeable.
    • Interfaces have been polished to make them clearer and easier to use.
     

    Have Fun!

     

    After a great player pitch and a ton of your feedback, Barbarian Assault's back with a vengeance. We can't wait to hear all about your exploits over on the forums.

    Very disappointed Argentina have got to the final, they've been poor throughout the tournament. In theory they should be easy pickings for Germany, but anything can happen in this world cup.

     

    In stark contrast to the records broken by the Germany - Brazil game, this game was the first time ever a semi-final was won on penalties.

    Well that was unexpected. Brazil were lucky to have made it to the Semis but still, that was a spectacular implosion. It doesn't bear thinking about if Germany don't win the tournament now.

     

    Side note: Spain scored 8 goals in their successful 2010 world cup campaign, Germany have so far scored 17.

     

    Also congratulations to Klose for becoming the top scoring player in World Cup finals history.

    Brazil v Columbia

    France v Germany

    Netherlands v Costa Rica

    Argentina v Belgium

     

    Brazil haven't looked particularly dangerous all tournament so I can't see them going any further. France v Germany is a tough one to call and whilst I'd like Germany to win, they've struggled since beating Spain and I think France will punish them for it.

    I think the Netherlands' strike force is just too much for Costa Rica and tactically they're very strong. Argentina are a one man team and Belgium would have buried the USA in normal time were it not for Howard's heroic performance.

    In addition to Brazil and Columbia going through to the Quarters, my predictions for the remaining games are (probably horribly wrong like my group stage predictions):

     

    Netherlands v Mexico

    Costa Rica v Greece

    France v Nigeria

    Germany v Algeria

    Argentina v Switzerland

    Belgium v USA

     

    I expect to see a variation of Germany, France and the Netherlands in the final. Columbia are the only none-European team I could see in the final.

    FIFA have the ability to ban Suarez domestically as well as internationally, but it's unlikely to happen. Suarez and Uruguay's tournament is pretty much over now though but the real kicker for Italy is Godin who scored yesterday shouldn't have been on the pitch as he should have been sent off against England.
