12 Aug 2008 - Runecrafting Guild and Game - For All Players!

[darkjab]

I feel personally it's easier to be on the yellow team, I struggled to see the green ones, and I'm also pretty sure the yellow orbs are slightly bigger and more apparent.

 

 

 

But saying that, me and friend won 2 matches and drew 2 whilst getting greens and against 3 people on yellow who were pretty good...

Did anyone ELSE notice the quest start icon in Wizard's tower's ground floor ?(first floor for americans)

 

 

 

Edit: Tried the minigame too- it is WAY too unbalanced- I had a game with 2 players against 5 players (with me in the 2-player team).... and lost pathetically. (Best game was like 10-14 or so)

 

And ofcourse I got NO TOKENS whatsoever! I think I worked as much as half of the ohter team and got nothing for it. :o

 

 

 

Nice work, Jagex. Better luck next time -.-

I'm kicking myself for turning all of my Talisman into Tiaras now :x Oh well the Guild is pretty cool \

The quest sign has been there a while, I think it's for Imp Catcher and they've never sorted it out.

 

 

 

Jagex need to tweak this game, the losing side should atleast get some tokens for EFFORT similar to Fist of Guthix, I just don't think getting double rc exp is justifiable enough, since you ain't exactly making 100's of runes per game, and people can be crippled right from the get go if they get shoved with inexperienced/low level runecrafters or with a smaller team.

Absolutely. I played a game that was two on three, my team won (I had one opponent) but that was mostly due to the other team not knowing what they were doing and attracting our colored orbs in, aside from one guy.

 

 

 

We got 900 tokens, but the previous game I played (which was much than this, but we lost) I only received 100 tokens (I used the 1000 to buy a green hat :D )

[Lady_Shahdie]

I am stunned at how Jagex has been very kind to us free players! I convinced now that when I can obtain the means, I am going to go member to support this kind of generosity (college is naturally eating up my funds atm :P...so maybe after college but I'm planning on it). Thank you very much Jagex :thumbsup:.

[Artigiano]

I have been reading the posts and it seems there is good stuff and bad stuff about the mini game. I am asking if it it is worth it to train 6 more lvs of runecrafting to get in to the game for a free to play?

[Kietaro1]

Male and female robes as well as me spotting Hermon1242 :D

Anything special to staves over tiaras?

 

Tiaras seem more efficient, in that you only have to give up a helm spot vs. a weapon spot. and the combat stats for the staves are that amazing...

 

 

 

Also, will wearing RC gloves from FoG 4x your exp.?

Hadn't even thought of that. Someone needs to see if that stacks.

There is the new runecrafting clothing set which includes a hat so that might be a reason to use the staff instead of the tiara.

No bonus to the hat. Either in actual RCing or minigame.

 

But yea... that would be... conceivablely a reason.

Runecrafting staves are much more than just a pretty ornamentation: you can use them exactly as you use a Runecrafting tiara, as well as distracting the eyes in the Abyss to help you sneak past. To bind a talisman to a staff, simply take the talisman and the staff to the talisman's altar and use either of them on it.

 

 

 

Now, since I've never been to the Abyss (don't like the risk factor of it) I don't know what these eyes are, but maybe someone else will know. Whatever they are, the Runecrafting staffs distract them.

The Abyss has two sections. You start in the outside circle, where you're getting attacked by all the abyssal creatures, and there are several obstacles to get to the inner circle (where the portals to the altars are). There are several obstacles requiring a tinderbox, axe, pickaxe, and the eyes are an agility (or theiving, I think) obstacle that you distract this giant pair of eyes to get past it. You can choose which obstacle to go through depending on what you have in your inventory, but they're scattered around the circle. (It's easier to do it by wielding a pickaxe and having a tinderbox in your inventory)

RuneCrafting is a skill that not many people are entranced by. It's a skill that takes a lot of time and effort to be effective. I think that this could vitalize the skill and will hopefully make it more fun. :

[Artigiano]

The bad thing about the mini game is that you have to have other people to play it. Where are you going to find a team in free to play?

Agreed.

 

 

 

It doesn't speed up runecrafting, as you're spending 10 minutes to save a small amount of that in teleporting straight to and from the altars. What it will do is get more people interested in runecrafting, as it adds a bit more change to it.

 

 

 

I think what a lot of people who hate this update most hate about it is that they fear more people will be leveling runecrafting now, getting higher levels and removing the feeling of exclusivity they had when they were one of the few that were high leveled runecrafters.

Glitch in encountered whilst going to nature altar with my tiara.

I think the best part so far is the level I got from getting the free exp from showing the talismans. Plus, I got the omni talisman.

 

 

 

Question: Since the law staff doesn't have combat stats, does the the omni staff have combat stats because it contains the law powers, or what?

[Myweponsg00d]

This seems useful enough I guess. Though I'll probably just use it for the tele tabs just for getting around. Can you make astral tabs? And why isnt the astral altar on the map of altars?

It makes rcing all that more fun... You know you can help the losing teams by destroy the barriers lol!

My guess would be that it isn't on there because it doesn't take a talisman to get into and that is supposedly how the map locates them.

There isn't an Astral talisman so it doesn't show up, yet you can make Astral Tabs :D

 

 

 

I'm also now thinking of Blood Tabs being very useful for getting to the Mutated Bloodvelds for Slayer :)

[Danqazmlp]

This minigame would be good if teams werent so awfully one sided. I've played one game so far where the game was 'close' to even, the rest were ALL one sided, and one sided to yellow. I'm not sure why but why does everybody flock to yellow? Are they just going there for an easy win? those sort of people are what i hate about team-based minigames, those who go one team because it will give them an easy win.

 

 

 

This minigame needs a balancing-type mechanism like cw, not allowing you to join yellow if there aren't enough in green.
