TheEvilGizm0 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I win. Those brave adventurers who have recently helped out the Myreque in the Darkness of Hallovale quest will find loot-minded mercenaries are waiting at Paterdomus looking for guides down to Burgh de Rott. The ability of these so-called 'mercenaries' ranges from experienced down to vampyre-fodder, but they can all lend their support to the cause of the Myreque. As an experienced member of the Myreque, you know Mort Myre like the back of your hand, so who better to guide them to Burgh de Rott? Any of these mercenaries would be well-disposed to reward those that successfully guide them to their destination, no doubt with useful skill-related items as well as cold hard cash. This new journey means that players can now lead villagers to safety from Burgh de Rott and bring back a fresh recruit on the return, meaning every trek can have purpose and reward. With the recently repaired bank in Burgh de Rott being so handy, it couldn't be easier to prepare for plying those Morytanian swamp routes for some useful experience rewards. With the growing number of visitors to Mort Myre recently, it's hardly surprising to find that more predatory creatures are carving themselves a niche in this forbidding swamp, so even those of you already familiar with the swamp-dwelling residents from Temple Trekking will be in for more surprises. Strange stories of dark nail beasts, humans turning into ghasts and zombie lumberjacks have all been reported to the authorities at Paterdomus - let's just hope you don't run into them when doing the Burgh de Rott Ramble. Barrelchest Anchor Players who've completed The Great Brain Robbery will find that we've made some changes to the Anchor weapon. In particular, we've increased its strength bonus to 87, but its attack speed has been reduced very slightly, as befits such a heavy item. We have also increased the price, as we felt it was too cheap for such a powerful weapon. To make things fair, everyone will be able to get the anchor repaired one more time at the old price of 50k, but after that it will cost 700k to fix. Finally, we have changed the way the anchor behaves when you die with it. If the anchor is one of the items you would normally expect to drop when you die, it will disappear and you will instead drop 230k coins. We made this change because the anchor is an item which people use for player-killing; we felt it was worth rewarding the big risks involved in killing a player-killer who was armed with this weapon. Another month, another batch of your lovingly-crafted artwork on display in the Players' Gallery. This time there are four dragons and a funeral, and a very stupid rock... (We'll leave you work out which is which.) QuestHelp gets bolstered once more, with another batch of quests now having hints to aid you through: A Soul's Bane, Between a Rock..., Horror From the Deep, Regicide and Throne of Miscellania. It now costs 700k to repair the anchor :shock: They finally got it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C110 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I think some people wont like the new anchor... Sounds like good quest - I'm not proud of everything I've done, but I have no regrets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayjest Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 The new anchor is merely a lot more expensive if you lose it... which strikes me as a tad odd. The reason why people used it for PKing was because it was cheap and strong, now the cost of replacing it makes it useless once more. But the precedent of dropping 230k instead of the anchor will possibly change alot of things - more untradeable items dropping money instead of the items? Goals to get my skills back up to a barely respectable level on the high scores: Currently going for Bone to Peaches spell. It's amazing how boring doing the same repetitive task is!

blacksimon Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 No one will ever use the anchor to pk now. 2 handed, slow, and a 700k loss. like most every other item jagex destroyed, epople will use it for 1 day, then alch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacksimon Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I care, they once again destroyed a decent weapon. Nerfing of shortbow specs, maul less powerful, whats next?

noble_skull Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Anchor is dead now, whip is going to rise again. Barrelchest anchor even slower? Heck it was slow enough already, and 2handed too! I'd use my dharok axe if I wanted a 2 handed strength weapon! And 700k is ridiculous. Proud member of The Slayer's Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhelimReagh Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Barrelchest Anchor ... we've made some changes to the Anchor weapon... its attack speed has been reduced... it will cost 700k to fix... it will disappear and you will instead drop 230k coins... because the anchor is an item which people use for player-killing... Sort of ironic: with these changes, Jagex's last claim about the anchor will now become untrue. It will not longer be used as a PKing weapon. It's relegated now to strength training.

Sjakie_1_1_3 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 What a bad update today. No one plays Temple Trekking anyway and this update won't change it. And they destroyed the anchor. PS. Altough, the Anchor is still pretty usefull. Look for a empty Falador. Get yourself killed and pick up 230k :-w Or get a friend to kill you in the wildy. Let him pick up the 230k and give it to you :-w And I wonder if the anchor gives 230k when alched too.

Good point, and try and find an item that's worth more than 230k in your pking gear, let alone 3. EDIT: In Sjakie's context you could just skull yourself and get killed, but protect pking would be used to keep the anchor.
