haloffx Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 In the new recent update of Dorgesh-Kaan, my friend found a shortcut to the Kalphites. I didn't know the city was so deep and far out in the desert :shock: The shortcut is downstairs when you first enter the agility course. I looked through the forums to find a suitable place to post this...but didn't find any. Sorry if I overlooked it!

Andrews2 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 um if what you say is true, thats pretty cool, but i hvnt been to the new city so i havnt seen that. but nice either way :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner4560 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 does it really go to kalphite layer? :-k Everytime I try to get a 99 skill, I get bored and go play Transformers on my 360...Dragon Drops-1 Barrows drops- 0 :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thus Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Yeah, I went in there, but it isnt even a shortcut or anything. It's actually LONGER to take that path. The good thing: 1 rope and no shanty pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakka102 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 yea, it dumps you out at the entrance to the dungeon where the low level kalhpites are. It would be quicker and better to use shantay pass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Devoted12- Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Yes, it's true, but Shantay would be quicker like wakka said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mario_sunny Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Unless you somehow had all the proper fighting gear and food for the kalphite queen while you were down there and suddenly wanted to go kqing, I don't think this "shortcut" is very useful. It takes about 3 minutes to runfrom the bank to the agility course and another minute to actually find the tunnel. Shantay is about two times faster. I wouldn't even call this a shortcut :notalk: By popular demand, this signature is back- however I currently do not have a blog up at the moment and if I did I wouldn't update it. Sorry, the sig links to nowhere :( . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rstg Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Actully pretty fast if you use the fairy ring ajq, but that takes ups a staff and lantern spot. The fairy ring is pretty close to the entrance to the new backway. Been playing rs for 5+ yrs 123 combat1830 skillz99 range,att,def,hp,str Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ts_Stormrage Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 It IS fast if you use the 1-click-tele of the Tele-shere that brings you back to dorgeshuun... It gets better, if youre fast enough (really requires some skill), you can even do without a lightsource. If you run fast enough youre safe and sound back in the Kalphite Tunnels before the little bugs come out that slowly kill you... This means you can bring, compared to Shantay, TWO extra praypots/tunapotatoes, and have a quick tele close to the KQ shortcut... The only thing that would make it perfect, is a prayer altar in Dorges-Khaan...

Quasar889 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 That "Mostly Harmless" examine comes from Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where the entry on earth is simply: "Earth: Mostly Harmless" That made me laugh when I read it.

Dang it, you beat me to it. I was going to post that! Fairy Ring and Shantay are faster than that new way, so it's not really a major shortcut.

Nabbagad Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Its pretty cool, but as stated, it is a long cut.

Ltje Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 It surprised me that nobody has flamed the TS with a "z0mg, its on teh updatepage, read teh updateh!" Anyway, if it allows you NOT to use the shantay pass, it's okay. I hate that place with that stupid disclamer... Retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will H Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I think that it is not a shortcut, but a convenience cut, mostly because you do not have to go through Shantay pass, saving precious inventory space, and thus a higher chance of victory for more kills.... Also, there are many stories surrounding the Kalphite Queen that they are raising an army to attack Runescape, so maybe this may have something to do with a quest storyline. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greedom1 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 personally fairy ring tele to desert by the Kalphite caves are shortest for me (edge tele, then fairy tele to BIQ) I wouldn't recommend it for KQ hunting, but for tasks or potato cacti collecting, this is what I've found to work the best. RSN: Greedom1 | QP 248+ | Combat 116 | Total 1920+ | Skills 95 craft, 99 farm, 88 herb, 91 mage, 85 slayer Values? What do they mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meb Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 yea, it dumps you out at the entrance to the dungeon where the low level kalhpites are. It would be quicker and better to use shantay pass... I use the edgeville+ fairy ring method :D . Retired 2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

jessy87 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 more of a long cut heh heh sounds emo *cough*cutters*cough* wow what a waist of post and time to comprehend something. Also, there are many stories surrounding the Kalphite Queen that they are raising an army to attack Runescape, so maybe this may have something to do with a quest storyline. personally i wish.. no joke i have also wanted runescape to have an area where its under constant battle, where buildings are on fire and you can hide in them and range/mage from them. like they are big and deserted and take a very long time to travel around. basically, post apocalyptic scenario. i figured when they added shadow of the storm and the new realm of things i figured, great place to put something like that.
