Who Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 There are many mysteries of the seas - hidden treasures, ghostly ships, pirate fashion - but few are as intriguing as the tale of Rabid Jack. Revered by a few, feared by many, his name is known by virtually all that sail the seas. The problem is, no pirate is willing to talk of Rabid Jack. Whether out of terror or a determination to keep his history hidden, the pirates have taken an oath of silence on the subject: particularly annoying for any adventurer who wants to send Rabid Jack to a watery grave. All is not lost, however, as one pirate has been given charge of the secret. Is it as easy as walking up and talking to him? Arrr, you should know better than that, landlubber! The pirate resides in 'The Rock' - an island prison for brigands and buccaneers - and he seems reluctant to pass on information without some assurances. Needless to say, the path to your goal is a windy one, with some interesting stops on the way. Your path may even cross with the strong-arm of the Customs Office, some pirate implings and a multi-purpose seagull...

In other news... The Menaphite action kilt was appearing as blue in your inventory even though it's red when you put it on. It's now correctly showing up as red in your inventory. Similarly, the iron and steel gauntlets from the Fist of Guthix minigame were the wrong shades of grey, making the iron ones look like steel and the steel ones look like iron. Their colours have been switched round now. Finally, you can now store broad-tipped bolts in your bolt pouches. I'm posting this so that when the forums reopen, there won't be a fight over who gets the make this topic first. The last thing we need after a forum reopening is more topics to lock.

das Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 wonder what the reward is!

Headnazgul Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 There's a rumor that the quest reward list is so long that it actually has a scrollbar o.O EDIT: Apparently it was just Darkdude98's screenie that sparked it, which is taken from the quest log, not the quest reward.

Headnazgul Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I think it's EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to note that you need at least 71 summoning to raise an ex-ex-parrot, before you waste your time wandering around mos le'harmless and talking to various pirates like I did...

Flabberwocky Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 The quest was quite easy, was scared the requirements foreshadowed a very tough quest but it turned out to be your average trekking quest. It opens up a whole new bag of marbles for the future of the Pirate Quest series though, sounds like after the cutscene in the end we might see some uhm, island-hopping in our future.The parrot, although it is an Ex-Ex-Parrot (I thought it was a play on the Mont Python Dead Parrot Sketch) looks a bit shabby to me, but ah well, it is undead, so I suppose it should look a little worse for wear. Other than that, I'm quite pleased with it. The experience rewards were quite hefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxTearGodxX Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I did the quest today, without a quest guide got it done in about a little over an hour. It was also quite humerous and the rewards were a great deal of exp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 [hide=The Parrot]The new parrot is pretty cool. Here's me making it come to life :o. Bird and cage obtained from Bill Teach and 50 Jars Mufassah or whatever the hell his name is. This spot is right west of the Cave Horror dungeon entrance. You have to use a chisel on it first, like Darkdude said. [/hide] Edit - Wtf @ my picture getting cut off :? Are you winning The Game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hkscaper Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I've done a little test on cabinet thieving, and the possible loots are(the frequency of getting each item may be a bit subjective): bronze/iron/steel scimitar (annoyingly common) steel longsword (annoyingly common) rune scimitar (rare, only got 1 so far) iron/gold bars (common) mith bars (uncommon) 300gp (uncommon) cooked shark (uncommon) striped pirate shirt (annoyingly common) eyepatch (common) pirate boots (common) uncut gems(up to diamond, common-rare) level 2 clues (rare, got 2 of them so far, and they only take one "checkpoint" to finish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
