Im in a glitch in the quest...

 

 

 

If you fall off the top part near the big netting thing, you fall into an area with no exit hole or vine. Anooying as ever, i have to start over :( :( :(

 

 

 

 

 

There is a vine you can climb from this part - gets you out :)

could you confirm which skill reqs can be done with stat boosters and which can't? I'm hoping slayer can be done with wild pies, since you need to kill the monster.

Hmmm....

 

I need a new siggy, get round to doing it later.

 

Probably.

They just released the quest page and spoilers:

 

in "slayer extra features" (manual part), they say that you get 3k slay exp for killing a vine-thing (need to have wc axe equiped and secateurs in inventory to kill it)

From the KB

 

If you have completed Back to my Roots, you will be able to grow a jade vine in a Farming patch in East Ardougne. Should you let this plant go 'wild', it will grow into an impressive Slayer monster. You cannot be assigned to kill the jade vine, but doing so will earn you a handy 3000 Slayer experience.

 

I see this info as that you will want the jade vine to grow "wild", which mean that you don't want to go back and check on it as Horacio says you should and also that you then shouldn't want to pay Horacio to look after it for you? That is how I understand that text from KB, or how do you interpret it?

 

 

 

--------------------------------

 

 

 

You can get the body parts as drops from the 8-9 new creatures in the Vine Maze

Farming XP is:

 

 

 

Planting and super composting: 76

 

Checking Health: 1500

 

 

 

I'm unsure about growing time as it finished over night.

 

 

 

I'm also unsure if you can check health first and then let it grow wild after that. I cleared my patch just now and got a new seed. Planted that and paid Horatio to look out for it. Will post if this still will grow wild in a couple of days.

You don't have to go through the whole maze! Just go into a hole in the vine or in the ground. They are all connected and just keep trying untill you come out on the other side of the river. Then you go through the things you have to cut. And it's pretty straigth forward untill you get to the vine's roots.

 

 

 

Summary:

 

- Go onto the beginng of the maze

 

- Go east and climb up

 

- Go south and climb down

 

- Go west and climb down to the ground

 

- Run west (past the wasps) to the hole in the vine

 

- Enter the hole and look where you exit:

 

* If you don't exit on the hole in the vine on the other side of the river, enter the hole you just exited and keep going untill you are at your destination

 

(in other words: Keep trying!)

 

* If you do exit on the east side of the river, you can continue

 

- Cut the things to the south

 

- Go east and climb onto the vine

 

- Go to the south and climb up

 

- Go to the west and climb down

 

- Go to the west and climb up

 

- Walk over the river (I never fell here)

 

- Go south and climb down

 

- Go east and cimb down the vine to the ground

 

 

 

And you're there!

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, I also had a question:

 

"Is the Jade vine patch only usefull for the Slayer exp you get from killing the wild version, or can you keep it from getting wild and get other exp instead?"

Information about the vine after quest:

 

 

 

A few hours after I planted the vine, I saw no change. When I logged in the next day, it was ready to "check". That was about 21 hours after planting. I'm guessing that it takes about the same time as a fruit tree. I came back a few hours later and then it was ready to "prune". I did that, although I think you're not supposed to (I think this will keep the vine from growing wild). Today I logged in and it was ready to "attack". I killed the plant the same way as in the quest (used 1 sip of antipoison). That was less then 24 hours after checking. I got 3,5k slayer xp, so the message about the 3k confuses me a bit. Will check it again next time.

 

 

 

Anyhow, this means in the worst case you get 1,5k farming xp and at least 3k slayer xp each 2 days. In the weekend I will visit this patch a lot, to see if it can be done faster.

EDIT: Never mind... YOu can't even start the quest without all of the requirements. :wall: -.-

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

There are only 10 types of people

in this world: those who understand

binary and those who don't.

This statement is false.
