Gielinor Tribune Accepting Guest Articles ~ Part One: Gielinor Tribune News by Book Welcome to All Our New Staff Members! Some of you may have noticed, these past two weeks, the thread about Gielinor Tribune Hiring. After posting that thread we recieved a GREAT reply from the public with many people applying for jobs. Now, without holding you up any longer, please welcome: Packer15 (Editor), Pyropenguin (Editor) Soulthresher (Commentator), ThruItAll (Interviewer), Killerred005 (Interviewer), Tintin113 (Blah Writer) annnnnnnd Honest1 as a Creative Writer! I'm sure you'll be seeing some great works by these people in the future editions. Thanks! - Book (Unorclan) Gielinor Tribune Manager ~ Part Two: God Wars Dungeon and Behind the Scenes by Randox Last month we saw the introduction of the God Wars Dungeon (GWD). This dungeon is located to the north-east of Trollheim and is an incredibly dangerous place for the unprepared. The above ground entrance can be accessed in two ways. The first way is to use the trail leading from Trollheim. A second way is to use short cuts from the wilderness requiring level 60 agility. The entrance itself, is a hole in the ground requiring a rope to enter. The area surrounding the hole is filled with high level aggressive wolves, and in addition to the snow effects, you lose one level off all skills every few seconds. For this reason bringing a stat restore potion is a good idea, allowing you to recover your lost levels so that your combat capability is not compromised. The GWD is sure to have an impact on the economy. A hilt alone can be worth around 60 mil and this price is sure to continue fluctuating for some time to come until a larger number of swords and hilts enter the general market. When the sword was first being sold (about the first 2-3 days after release), there were reports of swords (complete with hilt) being traded anywhere from 100 mil, a yellow party hat + 50 mil, to entire party hat sets. Just goes to show what people are willing to pay to get a new item quickly. Maybe these people thought the sword would actually maintain that kind of value, though i sincerely hope not since even if you had all the shards and hilts, you would never make back all the money you lost when you traded that party hat set. The other items from the dungeon are also still fluctuating to the extreme, so I will not bother hunting down a current price for various objects as the price will surely be wrong within hours of this being published. However, the new sword (Saradomin), spear (Zammorack), ranger armour (Armadyl), and melee armour (Bandos) defiantly have to potential to give a few people an advantage in PvP combat (this includes the duel arena, fight pits, castle wars, and of course the wild). The Godsword itself is valuable enough that I doubt many people would risk taking one into the wilderness, though with all 4 versions of the sword (version referring to the different hilts) potentially hitting over 60 damage in addition to their other effects. It would defiantly be fun for a melee fighter to be able to use their weapons special to essentially cast Ice Blitz, drain their opponents combat stats to 1 (over time), or heal themselves and restore prayer by doing damage. Of course the 4th special which inflicts 25% extra damage makes the Armadyl version the highest hitter of the bunch. Still, if you take the God sword into the wild, be assured you will soon need itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s power to save your butt, as it will act like a Santa or party hat, one person will see it and call their friends, or youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll just be swarmed within 5 minutes. I donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t think anyone knows how pkerÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s always seem to find out who has a valuable item, and where they are, its like a 6th sense. Anyways for those of you who can enter the dungeon and kill the monsters, enjoy! For this month we have an excellent start with a new quest already released (the path of Glouphrie). Next will likely be the months graphics update, which will focus on pirates (so they donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t look like clones) and children. Then we have the achievement diary, which despite mass uproar on tip.it (because of it being located in Varrock) I expect will be fun and challenging. They would not have made Varrock an option if they didnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t think it would be a decent place for an achievement diary. Herblore will be changed, so that you can tell what an herb is before it is identified. This will put an end to ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬Åselling unids 1kÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâà Thanks to the amazing talent of Jopie211 for the sig!Finest Fist of Guthix Strategy Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutycalls5609 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I love the GT, but I never understand the comics. No offence meant to the artist, but they are never funny or that informative. "Dress up for the holidays?" That's your 1-week work? A buddy kit cartoon with that message and neither of the character's costumes related to the holidays they're saying. Although I'll say that is an extremely well-done background. Anyway besides the few spelling and grammar errors ("YOUR should be YOU'RE in the DDTIP), I really enjoyed this. By the way unor, you never replied to my reply about being an editor. So if you still think I'd be of use, please PM me and I'd love to help. Long live the Gielinor Tribune!
