doomy Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 The popular Wilderness minigame, Clan Wars, has received a colossal update this week. When you next challenge a player to a clan war, you'll notice a range of new options that better suits your battling tastes; for example, you can choose whether players are able to return to the fray after dying, how long the battle may last, how many kills are required for a victory, and even what combat styles are permitted during the fight. You might wish to force an end to a battle if either team is reduced to five survivors. This avoids chasing down over-energetic die-hards who just won't stand still. Oh, and if you prefer real penalties for failure, you can choose to make players lose all of their items on death. Beyond that, there's a selection of arenas featuring a variety of different landscapes, so you'll have more choice about where you'd like to fight. Do you prefer obstacles that block Magic/Ranged attacks or obstacles that don't? Do you like empty spaces without any obstacles at all? The original Clan Wars arena will naturally remain available, although some areas of it have become single-way combat zones. For the more adventurous fighter, Clan Wars offers a pair of vast, free-for-all arenas. Just wander in, alone or with friends, and prepare to fight against anyone you meet. There are no combat restrictions in those arenas, so you'll have free rein to make your own entertainment! Calladin, the Clan Wars custodian, has something new to offer as well. He'll let you set a friend (or enemy!) as your caller. When you're in a Clan Wars arena, any chat you receive from that player will be copied to your head-up display, so it'll be easier to spot their messages in the chaos of a battle. So, set your favourite options and prepare to fight, warrior! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Other News: Herblorists may be pleased to hear that Bob Barter, the expert on herb prices who stands by the Grand Exchange, is now offering a new service. If you ask him nicely, he'll look through your inventory and try to combine your 3-dose, 2-dose and 1-dose potions into vials containing 4 doses. He even knows how to handle barbarian potions and calquat kegs. If you use a chisel on a large block of granite, you'll now be able to cut it into smaller blocks for use as Summoning ingredients. A convenient right-click option has been added to the ghost disciples around the Ectofuntus, to help players collect their tokens even when they don't have the Amulet of Ghostspeak. One of the skeletal wyverns was appearing as level 158 rather than level 140, even though it was really no tougher than the other level 140 wyverns. It's had its level adjusted to match the rest; this will not affect its difficulty in combat. Eniola, the banker at the Ourania Altar, will henceforth expect payment from players wishing to use his services to collect purchased items from the Grand Exchange. Our Graphics team has been busily fixing yet more bugs, including the following: The battle hood, obtained as a reward from Fist of Guthix, was appearing as green rather than purple in players' inventories. Its proper colour has now been restored. Following this year's graphical update, players were finding that their computers had trouble rendering certain map areas, resulting in low frame-rates. We've made some cosmetic changes to various bits of scenery to reduce this problem. When a female character wore Verac's helm, their head was appearing out of proportion to the rest of their body. The bug lantern, used for killing harpie bug swarms, tended to render badly alongside certain leggings. When combined with a highwayman mask, the cavalier hat was often appearing too high above the head of its wearer. Players wearing the new ringmaster hat were finding their chat bouncing strangely above their heads. The helmet obtained from the Drill Demon random event was causing players to lose their hair when they took it off. Crab shell gauntlets were causing players' wrists to change colour! If a player chose to wield an undead chicken during the Animal Magnetism quest - and who wouldn't wield such an item? - they'd sometimes find that the chicken appeared some distance from their actual hand. The Zamorak banner, made in the workshops of players' houses, was stretching into people's heads. The Bandos tassets were hanging down too much at the front, leading to graphical glitches. The Amulet of Catspeak was incorrectly positioned on female characters. Snakeskin vambraces were causing players' arms to move in unexpected ways. The Saradomin, Zamorak and Guthix coifs, obtained as Treasure Trail rewards, were suffering from a problem that frequently caused players' heads to become transparent. *Goes to clanwars* Doomy edit: I like sheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our systems administrators apologise for this error, and are working on updating the remaining worlds ASAP. They estimated a few minutes. Meanwhile, I'd recommend trying to find a world where the update DID happen. You can spot them by the "Decant" option on Bob Barter, and the Clan Wars setup menu thingy.

Lowgravity Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Chiseling 5kg granite gives you 2x2kg and 2x500g, chiseling 2kg gives you 4x 500g. But gives no exp.

bedman Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Wow, granite cutting is extremely good money making atm. One block of 2kg costs 2k. You get 4 blocks of 500g out of it. Cutting 6 blocks of 2 kg in 24 blocks of 500g takes 25 sec (banking including). Atm, you make about 13k profit per inventory (if 500g still sells). Over 120 inventories can be done an hour. :o A Guide to Chinning in Ape atoll: up to 325kxp/h! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erichermit Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 You can make money like that for maybe just a couple of hours. Now that granite is so easy to mine, it's going to plummet faster than bandos armor. Do you hate Wyverns or Warped Terrorbirds? Think again!
