Jagex announces the most challenging quest to date.

[darkpoet837]

When they said leave no stone unturned, I instantly thought of the stones outside of fally. It would be neat if they had something to do with it. And what is the stone of jas?

[Psycho_Robot]

There was 1 word that could easily have been missed when Jagex released "Land of the Goblins" and if it wasn't missed, it might not have been understood. Jagex said that it was the penultimate quest in the cave goblin series. That means there will be one and ONLY one more. It is the first time that I can remember that Jagex said something definite about the length of a series like that. This, and the Lucien follower in the Dorgesh-Kaan agility course leads me to believe that this epic quest will be the last in the cave goblin series, possibly unlocking the soul altar and tying in with the mysterious Stone of Jas. And just because it unlocks the soul altar doesn't mean it will need level 80+ runecrafting, just as ME2 (which unlocked the death altar) did not need 65 runecrafting.

 

 

 

As for people talking about the hidden doors like the GE door, the Mithril Door, and the Frozen Door, I very much doubt that these will be involved in the quest. Why? When the runecrafting guild came out, I swore that if there was another locked door that I would stop concerning myself with any of them, because the sheer quantity means to me that they represent nothing but Jagex messing with us. Well guess what, there WAS a hidden door in the Runecrafting guild! So I'm now completely convinced that there's nothing planned for any of the trap doors, and that they're just an inside joke from Jagex.

 

 

 

And finally, to the people that have high level requirements as their only requirement, consider this:

 

[hide="Epic" quest with high level requirements]1. Some guy needs your help to stop some evil thing from coming through by gathering ingredients for a potion.

 

2. He gives you a special seed which you need to grow and pick (80 farming)

 

3. You need to catch a special fish for the second ingredient for the potion (95 fishing)

 

4. You need to make a special bowl for the potion out of a special ore (87 smithing and mining)

 

5. Mixing the potion together requires 90 herblore

 

6. You need to take the potion a monk who lives in a dungeon (92 agility to go inside it) and get it blessed (82 prayer required)

 

7. When you return you find the guy who needed your help is taken to a prison and you must pick lock the door (86 thieving) to get him out

 

8. You and the guy go to a ceremonial site and use the potion on some altar or something, and it stops the evil from coming through

 

Quest complete! Your reward? 20k xp in each of the skills, 10k gp, a special weapon that you would only use if you can't afford a whip, god sword, or sara sword, and the ability to mine the special ore and sell it to the guy who needed your help for 1k gp each.[/hide]

 

Doesn't that sound like an AWESOME quest?

[Sentry_Wolf]

I'm guessing the reqs. will be in the mid 70's, it seems a stupid idea having a quest a very small population of RS can do over a level.

 

Jagex will be a bit stupid to put in a req that is 80+. Sure, I'd like it,but what can you do.

 

 

 

Hope there is a nice quest point req although. 225 quest points seems like it. It depends on how many quest points they are, how many was there when RFD was out? 200?

[u3h]

no, the new quest is:

 

 

 

"The Longest Hardest Quest Ever"

 

 

 

Requirements: 99 Slayer, 99 Smithing, 99 Herblore, 99 Agility.

 

 

 

Start Location: Varrock

 

 

 

1. Talk to romeo

 

2. Recieve 10Gp

 

3. Quest complete.

 

4. You gain 1 Qp.

I saw the "penultimate", but I don't think that an EPIC quest would be the completion of a series; it seems more likely to be a sequel to a little-known quest, like Cook's Assistant. Or, it has reqs for further on in a series, but doesn't advance their storyline much, like Legend's reqqing Underground Pass. Consider: did Legend's quest advance ANY storylines? Did RFD advance ANY storylines? Not really. Additionally, there is a clear-set plotline for the next quest; it involves freeing Zanik from the box. Is that related to Lucien's followers in Dorkesh-kaan? Not really. Finally, the blood altar fits with the vampire series. The death altar fits with the plague series. But the soul altar doesn't really fit with the Dorgesh-kaan series. I would put it in either the Glouphrie series (anima mundi = soul of the world) or the Scabarite series (the latest altars seem to be on extremeties of the map).

 

 

 

On the trapdoor point: I agree. Has there been ANY hidden door or trapdoor like that which has been opened? If so, has it opened in a quest? Hmm? I didn't think so. (I love hypothetical arguments without somebody responding; you can pretend that facts you don't remember don't exist. :thumbsup: ) So no, it won't grow out of a trapdoor or mithril door or frozen door or something like that.

Thanks for reminding me of the locked doors and the God Wars Psycho_Robot :thumbsup:

Updated it for ya ;)

[amitoz]

I'm almost certain it's about Stone of Jas.

 

 

 

 

 

What IS the Stone of Jas?

[Psycho_Robot]

I'm almost certain it's about Stone of Jas.

 

 

 

 

 

What IS the Stone of Jas?

 

 

 

If I remember right it was talked about in depth in the Meeting History quest. Its the stone from which all runecrafting altars came from.

[amitoz]

Waiting on a reply lol.

[whatisup618]

Personally I'm leaning towards the Stone of Jas thing. I don't know much about it but the whole don't leave no stone unturned seems to be a hint.

 

 

 

I mean come on people they both use the word STONE!!!

[brunokiller]

I'm almost certain it's about Stone of Jas.

So we could 'make' a soul altar if we got control of that stone? Looks fun.

[Avid43]

Hope there is a nice quest point req although. 225 quest points seems like it. It depends on how many quest points they are, how many was there when RFD was out? 200?

 

 

 

Pretty certain it is 176...

[Wingless]

And here... we finally have the sequel to the much loved Cook's Assistant.

Soul altar in Varrok bank ftw.

 

 

 

Anyway...Requiem, there already was a sequel to the Cook's Assistant quest, you're about two years too late on that joke.

Doesn't that sound like an AWESOME quest?

 

sounds good but i would like to se summonign requirments or construction

 

maybe summon a special beast to help in the final fight and you have to build a bridge alogn the way to the monk :

[Sprout_teh_druid]

I think challenging can be taken not just as skill-heavy, but possibly involving literal challenges. I'm hoping for some good puzzles and maybe some reflex trials of some sort.

[Great_one]

i really dont think the requirements will be that high.

 

 

 

i think this will be the first quest to break level 70 requirements(not counting rfd's cooking)

 

 

 

i can see 70 in harder skills(agil smith, prayer, minning) and low 70's in easyier skills

[pulli23]

I think challenging can be taken not just as skill-heavy, but possibly involving literal challenges. I'm hoping for some good puzzles and maybe some reflex trials of some sort.

 

 

 

rubik's cube! (yeah I know the chances are lower than 0 that jagex will ever create somethign so "difficult" to solve..)

[cuba_caramel]

I personally believe that the quest will be 1 of 2 possibilities:

 

1: Mourning's end pt3 (or what it will be called). Because those quests became harder and harder and suddently they made a very long break... it would be about time the came up with it :P also Mourning's end pt2 is one of the hardest (in my opinion the hardest) quests around... I believe it is rather likelly that Jagex makes the biggest quest ever a secual to an already big quest...

 

 

 

2: the other possibility is that it wont be a sequal quest at all... Maybe it will be both the first and the last in a storyline...

 

 

 

But then again those are just my ideas :P

[vox1st]

Here is a crazy long shot, what is Mysterious Old Man made an appearence?

[shadow2]

well as long is its not anything to do with mournings end part 2 or somethin as hard as that then i'm happy but i'll be lookin forward to it

[Dacton]

I really hope they got some 80 or even 90+ skills needed, I love when I have to train skills for a quest, it gives me a reason to do it

[wioneo]

I really hope they got some 80 or even 90+ skills needed, I love when I have to train skills for a quest, it gives me a reason to do it

 

 

 

I seriously doubt that they would make a requirement over 80, but that's just my opinion.

 

 

 

A hard quest for a change actually sounds nice, that is except for all of us who are too lazy to get any 99s and will be stuck with rubbish capes for a bit loger than usually....damn molten cheese cape...
