Eastern Lands = Range Update?

[snowager286]

bow swords are unlikely to happen i mean cmon like jagex would actually do something like that. :roll: i think the new bow might be a recurve bow :mrgreen: that would pwn would be like a short bow version of the katana :) .

[Kilo]

Hanaru sells bolt racks don't he? Why and where did he get bolt racks? I mean he doesn't mention barrowing at all or any interest in the brothers. So who gave him bolt racks? Are the barrows brothers from the east? Do they have some relation to Hanaru? Their names aren't totally unlike his.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I gotta go read my Tome. (Book on barrows brothers.)

[Chocobodude0]

Forget ranged, bring on the katanas, ninja armor and samurai armor!!! :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But for real's kunai and shuriken would be pretty cool. (Not as cool as the melee stuff mentioned above though :wink: )

[Faelenof]

the sword he is holding is the bow-sword that you made for him - short term memory loss Faelenof?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is it really? Ugh, it's been too long since I've done the quest, haha (I'm no longer a member now, y'see... :().

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if you ask the "monk" after you made the sword (but before you give it), how to wield it, it will tell you that it's a special eastern technique...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Excellent, that's just what I needed. :D If he does indeed tell us that it's an Eastern technique, I think we can definitely expect a bow-sword update (or at least a continuation of the Devious Minds storyline) once the Eastern lands are released, if ever.

Valid points, Kilo. Incidentally, that exact same thought hit me just before I went to bed last night (it got late and my sleeping pattern's really messed up :P).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I reread the reply... note this sentence:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ak-Haranu must sell equipment from empire's armies to get home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only equipment he sells (the only thing he sells, incidentally) is Bolt Racks, as I'm sure we all know. But if this equipment is from the "empire's" armies, this means that the "empire" in the Eastern lands uses crossbow bolt racks, kind of like what Karil uses as that's the ammunition for his weapon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This can mean one thing - the Eastern lands use some sort of Karil-type crossbow. As far as I can tell, Karil's crossbow is pretty good, meaning we might be able to look forward to a nicely powered range weapon that uses bolt racks - otherwise that's just my failing P2P memory acting up. ;_;

This sort of thing has been posted before I believe, but I sitll sort of remember my thoughts on the subject.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I an excited for the future, there will most likely be an Eastern Land update, to complete the map of Gielinor so it's "round". Ak-Haranu sells bolt racks, he also has a Katana-like sword.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If Jagex were to release this HUGE update, than I bet there would be many new quests, new SWORDS, and perhaps, new magics? Also, considering Archery was one of the large factors in (The two main ones we all know about) Chinese and Japanese past history. I don't know a lot about Chinese Archery, but it wasn't all on horses, but horse back archery was largely practiced by the Samurai in Feudal Japan. Even today they still hold contests, these contests are on FOOT and on Horses (They hold the bow all weird like!) I'd say new lighter, strong, accurate long bows, as for crossbows unfortunately to shoot it out of the barrel, wouldn't really be (historically) accurate. Considering Runescape is partially based on real life historic and historically fictional stories and facts. Thus meaning, no Crossbows in the Eastern Lands, for the Crossbow was made in Europe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, also about the White Knights, considering Jagex HAS made them along the lines of partially historically accurate, they are actually BAD. White Knights were actually people you would want to be careful of, if you find Bob the Jagex Cat around, he WARNS you about the White Knights. I'm sure that it's been hinted in all of the quests now and then as well. One of the quests they release will spill the beans and I bet you'll have to choose sides or what to do (oops got off topic!). Anyway, that's my thoughts and whatnot on all of this. :)

I wanted to say that! :evil: Means I totally agree and think we can lokk forward to some interesting ranging in the east someday.

I really dont see an Eastern Lands update with ranged involved based on what the salesman said. It dosnt seem to lead to anywhere by the conversation, its a very loose interpretation and dosent hold much water.

[skoda333]

i think karil is one of the "empire"...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and i think all barrow brothers came from different places on the map...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

just like the ?7? warrior priest who fougth(sp?) in the east... (taken from "darkness of hallowvale"
