Defy Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 We kick this month off with a very barbaric update. After the creation of the Barbarian Assault minigame, the Baxtorian Barbarians have been investigating several of the local features in the hopes of finding a new challenge for their hairy brethren... and they have not been disappointed. Lying deep beneath the surface they have found the resting place of an old, nearly forgotten, yet strangely familiar foe... the mithril dragon. This dragon, who is going to weigh in at an impressive level 300, will hold several interesting items in its treasure horde, not least the fabled dragon full helm. The location of this dungeon is a closely guarded secret, though, so youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll need to prove yourself worthy to gain access. Construct burial ships, wield new one-handed spears, start fires the old-fashioned way, modify potions and go bare-handed harpoon fishing... then, with a bit of luck, theyÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll invite you in. July also sees another update to the game's audio effects by improving the timing and synchronisation of various sound effects associated with several of the skills and characters. We are also working on improving instrument sounds and a feature which will allow the player to access information about where a song can be unlocked. Keep your ears open for more musical developments later in the month. Some people might say that the graphical improvements planned this month are a bit quackers, especially when its ducks, birds and terrorbirds that receive the make-over tweetment. Be sure to pop down and coo at their shiny new plumage later this month. We are making more changes to the Random Events in the game with the removal of specific events and the addition of a new one, this time featuring a dragon headmaster and some monstrous classmates. LetÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s hope you do well, or itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll be the dunces' hat for you. After the scandal in Sinclair Mansion, little activity has been seen in the area from the rest of the Sinclair brood. Recently, however, some of the family have been seen in the dark corners of RuneScape plotting some kind of revenge... But on whom? Brave adventurers, misguided siblings? Perhaps their greedy minds are drawn back to the fact that Camelot was Sinclair property before their overly-generous father gave it away to those high and mighty knights. No doubt your previous experiences dealing with family affairs will come in handy as you try to solve the problems behind a King's Ransom. Expect high court hijinx and a rather interesting reward for those who accept the challenge. As mentioned last month, we are continuing to release small changes designed to improve your overall experience of RuneScape. In July we will be launching several more changes including: Increasing the maximum number of rooms you can have in your house to 30. Altering how damage is taken in a player-owned house. Clarifying what items you keep on death BEFORE you die. Clarifying what a one-handed duel actually is. Restricting the opening and closing of doors to stop door spammers. Changing how kebabs damage health. Changing the appearance of magic logs. Moving the party room to the free world area. On the website side of things, this month you'll be getting all the usual goodies, as well as a story about the Barrows for the Lores and Histories section. Enjoy!

Dark_Lord Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Since I despise pking, the choose what items you keep before dying sounds AMAZING to me. The dragon full helmet sounds cool, but will the drag med become even more obsolete now? Perhaps the mithril dragons will drop a piece that you must combine with the d med (like the dragonfire shield). Unfortunately I won't be here for the month of July, so I don't get to try be one of the first to try for a full helm drop :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkjab Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Wow, so Jagex have finally decided that they will bring out the better versions of the dragon armour :shock: ah well im kinda looking forward to it, be interesting indeed! But im also curious what else this mithril dragon is going to drop? The new quest sounds fun, and all the little tweaks will be awesome! Looks to be a good month.

Dork Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Sound awesome, looks like they're already putting their new engine to good use with the house size limit increasing, which also means bank space should be increased sometime in the near future too. :) Looks as though another hard/challenging quest is being released too, which should be nice. :) Not sure if I really like clarifying which items you lose when you die though, may make the price of full guthans even out a bit though, which people not losing the spear when they die. I wonder if they'll eventually finish off metal dragons :P If Mith is level 300, Rune will be 450? :P Hopefully the dragon helmet will have a strength bonus, otherwise no matter what the defence i3, it still won't be first choice for training, only looks (assuming they make it look nice). :P Sig And Avatar by Tripsis - 99 Slayer Blog - My Pyramid Plunder GuideOwner of Fire Cape since 28-09-2005 - 426th to 99 Strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meb Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 were is the dungeon ... Its not out yet, Behind the Scenes tells you what Jagex is going to bring out that month. But I love the sound of 30 rooms for construction So I can have a kitchen and a treasure room now :o ! Hurray! Not to mention an even bigger dungeon, more fancy gardens, a dining room an perhaps even a parlour. I doubt the dragon full helm will be any good, unless it gives +10 strength and a 15% attack and strength bonus versus slayer tasks. 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.

Dork Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Choosing what items you keep when you die? Oh. Dear. God. *Imagines the new breed of PK'er* I actually don't think it'll affect pking too much, the main item people want to protect is whip, and because it's already first choice, it won't change much there :P Sig And Avatar by Tripsis - 99 Slayer Blog - My Pyramid Plunder GuideOwner of Fire Cape since 28-09-2005 - 426th to 99 Strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin_ Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Sounds allright i guess, hope i'll get one of the helms. Some people dream of success, while others make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
