Michael Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Today we introduce a new means for players to help each other: the Assist System. This update allows a lower-level player to 'borrow' the skill levels of a more experienced player, creating objects that they could not before. To take advantage of the Assist System, right-click on a player you would like help from and select 'Req. assist'. That player can then click a pink message that appears in their chat box, deciding whether or not to offer you assistance. If the assistance is accepted, you are free to use the skills of the other player, making items and taking advantage of their higher levels. The assisting player receives all of the XP, while you keep all of the items you create. This makes the Assist System a quick and safe way to get help making items! A hand-in-hand icon will appear at the bottom-right of your screen when you are being assisted: A good example is making an amulet of Strength. You may have the level 49 Magic to enchant a ruby amulet, but not the 50 Crafting to actually make it. With the Assist System you can safely 'borrow' the skill levels of an expert crafter to cut an uncut ruby. Still using the Assist System, you can then make the ruby amulet at a furnace with a gold bar, an amulet mould and ball of string. With the use of an Enchant Level 3, you can turn your ruby amulet into an amulet of Strength. The Assist System can be used with the following skills: * Construction * Cooking * Crafting * Farming * Fishing * Fletching * Herblore * Hunter * Magic * Mining * Runecrafting * Smithing * Woodcutting Notes: * You can adjust your filters to allow or disallow any assist requests. * You can earn a maximum of 30,000 experience in any 24-hour period by assisting people. * You cannot assist someone with a quest, an Achievement Diary (they will not be able to mark a task complete if they were assisted in this way) or a minigame. * Summary * A way to use the high levels of someone who is willing to help! * Simply right-click on a player and choose 'Req. assist' to start. Read the Knowledge Base article here to read more about this system. In other news... Some of the children in Meyerditch and Burgh de Rott were missed out from the NPC update. They have been revisited by the Makeover Mage who has given them a more consistent look. The time-out in the Duel Arena has been reduced to 30 minutes from the previous 60 minutes. We feel this is more than enough time to defeat your opponent with whatever method you agreed upon! We've also updated the stat icons in the skills tab. They now have a more detailed look, while maintaining their classic characteristics. Assist animation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwarzenegger Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 You can't get more than 30k xp.. does that mean once you get 30k xp from assisting you can't assist anymore or you don't get anymore xp if you do it?

Lets_3ekout Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Love the new icons, especially firemaking, RC, HP, STR, cooking and woodcutting but slayer, hunter, mining and agility could be better. Overall much better though. Too bad assist probably won't be that great for me, as I never really need or get asked to help people with gems and such, a great update for many nevertheless, no complaints from me.

The assist is gonnabe very usfull shame theres a 30k limit, does it stop working once they get 30kxp or does it continue without them getting xp? Thanks Gradeskip93 for my awesome sig!

Lunar_Drifter Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 You can't get more than 30k xp.. does that mean once you get 30k xp from assisting you can't assist anymore or you don't get anymore xp if you do it? Ha.. as I was reading that, I was trying to think of a way that players would try to abuse this.. like, standing in a bank and making high level stuff, just getting lots of experience with no cash. But then they said that you couldn't get more than 30k xp, so I was happy. :) Retired Tip.It Mod || Admin and Founder of Caesar 3 Mod Squad! All are welcome!

Ginger_Warrior Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Go to school Mc! :P I have a reason to be off college... ish. TBH this looks useless... all it does is undermine the hard work skillers put into getting their high levels. :( Although it might help bridge the gap between high levelled and low levelled players, relationwise, not skillwise. :-k | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacon Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Sounds interesting... but a bit more complicated than I was expecting after BTS. Anyway, I think TIF should put up a sticky for "Offer or Request Assistance Services" that would work like the "House Services" sticky... would make it a lot easier to find someone with the necessary skill levels willing to assist with a specific task.

Dragonlordjl Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Ugh, this update devalues higher level skills.... You used to get a feeling of accomplishment at high levels, but now... Any noob can do high level stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonlordjl Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Lol so if i get assistance from someone with 94 magic I can cast Ice barrage? No, in the KB article, it says you can only use enchant spells or the assist lunar spells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
