24 April 2007 - Another Slice of H.A.M.

 

 

 

The Dorgeshuun were hesitant about the outside world at first, but now they are embracing contact with other cultures and are even building a long-distance rail link between Dorgesh-Kaan and the dwarf city of Keldagrim. But work is being held up by archaeological finds that date back to the early days of the city, including an ancient weapon connected with the goblins' mysterious god.

 

 

 

If you're an experienced archaeologist, you can help the cave goblins learn about their history and accompany Zanik on another trip to the surface. It should be a simple mission - unless the dastardly Sigmund makes an appearance...

 

 

 

In this new quest we've tried to recreate some of the elements that made Death to the Dorgeshuun popular. You can take Zanik to another part of the surface, gain new goblin companions, and have another showdown with the villainous Sigmund. It also advances the cave goblin storyline and sheds a little more light on Zanik's destiny - while leaving more for future instalments...

 

 

 

In order to look their best compared to their cousins underground, we've also updated the surface goblins. Now they look like warriors, and just as mean as you'd expect.

In other news...

 

 

 

Down in murky Morytania, the rewards for the Temple Trekking / Burgh de Rott Ramble minigame have had a bit of a boost. The grateful travellers will now reward players with watermelon seeds instead of wildbloods.

 

 

 

The locals are so impressed by the flow of travellers into Burgh de Rott and Paterdomus that they've erected a signpost at each end of the journey to record how many treks have successfully been completed.

 

 

 

Besides these Morytanian tweaks, we're fixing a handful of unrelated bugs in today's update...

 

 

 

* Our skilled tailors have solved a minor bug with the Skillcape of Prayer that made men's and women's capes have different coloured lining.

 

* Gilded thrones in players' houses used to be made of oak planks. They now require mahogany, as befits such grand items.

 

* In sunny Mos Le'Harmless, we've patched a problem in the Trouble Brewing minigame that was preventing players from entering the game if they stood in certain places in the waiting rooms.

 

* The Agility short-cuts up Trollheim Mountain have had their level requirements adjusted to match the skill guides.

 

* Finally, Australian players may be glad to hear to hear that we're uncensoring "G'day".

yay first post.

 

 

 

 

 

What no bracelets!!! heads will roll.

 

 

 

EDIT: yeah i forgot April doesn't end til the start of next week. oh well.. time to mine some gold to prepare. i dont think i'll be doing the quest.. looks a lil hardcore for me.. 15 attack! that'll take months to train for.

That's what I thought, bracelets should be out soon.

I'm disappointed they didn't introduce us bracelets yet. This month has had really bad updates and I'm afraid this quest doesn't really save it. It's said to be medium and has really low reqs, so I assume the reward is like 2qp, 5k xp in mining and some new item which no1 will use.

Hope it's a good quest, but the thing that appeals to me is... G'day is uncensored! :D

yay first post.

 

 

 

 

 

What no bracelets!!! heads will roll.

 

 

 

No they won't, it was stated as the last update, and there's still 6 days of april, they could come on Monday.

 

 

 

And an ancient Artifact, plus you need to do Digsite quest.

 

 

 

This could be a reward spoiler so...

This was expected. No bracelets till next week. Well, yay, another noob quest I have to do to keep my cape.

 

 

 

Anyone seen the password blocking update? Pathetic... Another update for people who have no brain.

 

 

 

I like the updated Temple Trekking though, watermelon seeds! Actually something usefull this time.

* Gilded thrones in players' houses used to be made of oak planks. They now require mahogany, as befits such grand items.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

didn't someone just boght 207k of oak planks for getting construciton up? :lol:

yay first post.

 

 

 

What no bracelets!!! heads will roll.

 

 

 

That's what I was thinking... Ah well... Guess it's time for me to go to sleep now.

 

 

 

Edit: That password update, though, is a joke. What's with the moronic safeguards which, admittedly, won't work?

didn't someone just boght 207k of oak planks for getting construciton up? :lol:

 

 

 

Doesn't really matter: an oak plank gives 60xp, no matter do you build oak larders, chairs or spoons.

This looks like a cracking update. Watermelon seeds from temple trekking - superb! I mean who ever really used to plant wildblood seeds? Might have another go at trying to get that elusive lumberjack top now... I wish that they changed the probabilities of getting it though.

 

 

 

Quest looks pretty good too, I'll have to try it later (primarily because I want to keep my quest cape!).

Woohoo.. Another quest.. They sure know how to keep me happy.

Come on braclets!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, Australian players may be glad to hear to hear that we're uncensoring "G'day".

 

 

 

About time. G'day. I better get going on that quest!

FINALLY!!!

 

 

 

I can finally say G'day, one of the best updates ever.

 

 

 

Pity it is also my password :P :-$ :

They did say bracelets at the end of the month..... morons

 

Woot another quest!

 

 

 

 

 

Ooh & G'day

 

 

 

[hide=Quest reward & Mace Information (spoiler)]The Special uses 100% of the special bar,

 

And gives you back prayer equal to the amount you hit while using the attack,

 

So I believe so far..

So far the quest looks interesting.

Nothing. They're up next. April hasn't ended yet. And even if we slip a day or two (which we can't always avoid), I'd like to imagine that people will have the patience to wait a little longer...

FINALLY!!!

 

 

 

I can finally say G'day, one of the best updates ever.

Yay, I freak out all month about a decent update, and I check the main page to see an update and think "wewt, braclets of ze leet"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I realize they gave us a quest aimed towards level 40s

 

And I predict the reward to be something along the lines of:

 

1 Quest point

 

3 Emeralds

 

2k Mining exp

 

*insert useless item here*

Thanks for the spoiler you idiot.

The new mace has a great special... for pkers/duellers that is ... remove all prayer points in 1 hit???!!! Can someone confirm that it works outside of the quest? (100% bar used tho)

 

 

 

Tried in duel arena... hit an 8, and sucked 11 pray points over to me..jumped from 61 to 72...so not a complete pray negater, but could be useful... shame wep sucks at melee itself.
