sarg1010 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 (not sure if i'm allowed to do this but...) New Tutorial: Since we first released the tutorial, a huge amount has been added to the game. New content, extra skills, new-look interfaces: all of these combine to make the old tutorial seem a little outdated. So, we've gone back to the drawing board and completely reworked it: from the creation of your character right through to your first explorations of RuneScape. No longer will new players be trapped on an island; instead, they will be introduced to something similar to a quest involving a White Knight whose actions will decide the fate of Lumbridge. It seems that there are more than just goblins in the caves beneath Lumbridge, and a budding adventurer is required to assist the White Knight, learning a few things while they're at it. All players will receive a Quest Point for completing the tutorial, whether they completed the old tutorial or the new tutorial (and any content with a Quest Point requirement will be raised as a result). Also, all players can collect two experience lamps, worth 200xp each, whether they completed the old or new tutorial. These can be found by chatting to Sir Vant, beneath the house to the north-east of Lumbridge Castle. Lumbridge Moneymaking: Following a lengthy seminar about industry and trade, the Skill Tutors and other Lumbridge locals have become much more commercially minded. Having noticed the swathes of inexperienced adventurers who pass through Lumbridge, they've decided to employ them to help supply all manner of items. This means that, in return for completing their tasks, players can receive a modest, but prompt, payment. So, if you are reasonably low-leveled and your money is running low, the people of Lumbridge will help you to recover your finances - in return for a little hard work. Lumbridge and Draynor Village Achievement Diary: Explorer Jack, famed wanderer of RuneScape, has taken a much needed rest in Lumbridge. Instead of putting his feet up, however, he's encouraging a new generation of explorers. Visit him in the house north-east of Lumbridge Castle to begin achieving. There are Beginner, Easy and Medium tasks in the Lumbridge and Draynor Achievement Diary, but no 'Hard' tasks. Lumbridge is, after all, a beginner's town, so the tasks can be completed by all but the newest of players. The rewards are aimed for everyone to appreciate, though! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In other news... Every week we receive thousands of abuse reports on the subject of Rule 10: Misuse of Customer Support. Often, these are from players reacting to reports made against them, with only 1% showing any evidence of a broken rule. Since we can identify those who break Rule 10 ourselves, we have decided to remove the option to report players for Rule 10: Misuse of Customer Support. The rule itself will not be removed or changed and we will continue to take the appropriate action against those who break it. Woot!!! Darn you Zot!!!!!!! :evil: [hide=Lumbridge Money Making]At work in Lumbridge Lumbridge, that sedate town where you begin your adventures, has a great deal of citizens, almost all of whom are dedicated to helping new adventurers learn their way. From melee and the casting of spells to the finer points of spinning wool and luring fish into your nets, these benevolent people spend much of their lives helping others. For all this, though, they need supplies and other assistance, and it's only appropriate that they turn to the adventurers that they so dutifully aid for this. Life in Lumbridge is not without its perks, of course, so you can expect to be paid appropriately for aiding them. Please note that you can only take 6 jobs every hour. Employers The following people in and around Lumbridge are all in perpetual need of employees. You can obtain a task by talking to them about any jobs they have. Mikasi, the Magic Tutor Harlan, the Melee Tutor Nemarti, the Ranged Tutor Cordero, the Cooking Tutor Cadmus, the Crafting Tutor Finlay, the Fishing Tutor Monlum, the Mining Tutor Feoras, the Smelting Tutor Yauchomi, the Prayer Tutor Hans Donie & Gee Victoria Iain Samuel Julian Fred the Farmer (you must have completed the Sheep Shearer quest) Aggie (in Draynor Village) Ned (in Draynor Village) Tasks Working for the citizens of Lumbridge There are three broad types of task you may be asked to perform: Production These jobs require you to bring a number of a certain item to your employer. This could be very simple and be done in a few moments, or you may need to gather resources before turning them into other items (like smithed items, for instance). Bone-burying You may be asked to bury a certain number of bones in a specific location. Combat Much like the Slayer skill, you may be asked to rid the world of a certain number of creatures. These will always be relatively easy to kill, and nothing nastier than a scorpion need concern you. You will never be asked to do anything that is beyond your skills, so you can always head off straight away (unless you need a weapon or armour for combat jobs, of course) and get your hands dirty. When you have completed your job, simply return to your employer for payment. Rewards You will always be paid for your efforts in coins, and the amount you are paid will directly relate to the difficulty of the task and the number of items you deliver or bury, or the number of creatures you are asked to kill.[/hide] [hide=New Diary]Beginner Tasks Task Quests started / required Other requirements Climb to the highest point in Lumbridge None None Raise the flag on the roof of the Lumbridge Bank None None Speak to the Duke of Lumbridge None None Speak with the Doomsayer about the Warning System None None Find out about the Stronghold of Security from the Lumbridge Guide None None Browse the Lumbridge General Store None None Visit Fred the Farmer's chicken and sheep farm None None Mine some clay in the Mining patch north of the Champions' Guild None None Make some soft clay in the Barbarian Village None None Make a pot on the potter's wheel in the Barbarian Village None None Fire a pot in the kiln in the Barbarian Village potter's house None None Enter the courtyard of the spooky mansion in Draynor Village None None Grind some flour in the windmill north of Lumbridge None None Visit the Draynor Village market None None Find out about the Rules of Conduct from the Draynor Town Crier None None Climb to the top of the Wizards' Tower None None Mine some copper in the Mining spot to the south-east of Lumbridge Swamp None None Catch some shrimp in the Fishing spot to the east of Lumbridge Swamp None None Have the Fishing Tutor send you on an errand None None Look through Father Aereck's selection of gravestones The Restless Ghost None Play the organ in the Lumbridge Church None None Ring the bell in the Lumbridge Church None None Pass through the Al Kharid gate None None Click the box below to see the rewards for completing the easy tasks: Warning: Spoilers Below To view the spoiler, highlight the box below with your cursor to see the text hidden insideShow spoiler...

bored321 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 oh nvm. Thanks Gradeskip93 for my awesome sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephiroth_king Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 These updates are fantastic! Can't wait to get the achievement diaries done! Only problem for me is that I can't run multiple tabs on firefox, whenever I play RuneScape and try to go to tip it via a multiple tab it brings the HD screen with it...By meaning, I click the tip it tab, and the HD screen doesn't go away, it stays there, almost like it's burnt on, and only goes away when I click the "X" on the RS tab. Anyone else have this problem? Besides that one problem, I can run HD on max settings easily, with absolutely no lag so far. Hoping to get a new Signature (with matching avatar) soon. :D In the meantime...Steam username: )I'll rewrite it later (add me if you want) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
