January 6, 200917 yr Everything in that cave is so pathetic. This is the worst update to start off the new year. Seriously. You can't home tele in the cave. Your familiar gets lost in a matter of seconds. The monsters block you, thus making the time to do it too long. Sucky drops. If you log out, you appear outside the cave. WTFWTFWTF?!?!?!

January 6, 200917 yr As far as getting an egg, I'm confused...are you supposed to keep entering and exiting the cave in the hopes of getting lost and getting one, or is this a one time a day thing, or are you supposed to kill the phoenix and then leave and that's your chance, or what...does anyone know?

Seriously, I logged out because I needed food from my terrorbird that disapeared because of the caves...
January 6, 200917 yr Anyone try out the familiar yet? ~It's Super Effective! (The Zaaps Blog)~My YouTube Channel, where you get to watch me go around and make a fool out of myself and all comp capersGuides:~Yeah I wrote them once~Suggestions:~Yeah I made those once~
January 6, 200917 yr [hide=Fishing Update]There is a newly installed make-x feature for filleting fish such as sturgeon, salmon or trout that should make it easier for you to obtain the materials for making barbarian potions.[/hide] :twss:
January 6, 200917 yr I heard it cuts the fish up like an old lady though and it was much faster pre-update. ~It's Super Effective!

January 6, 200917 yr I HAVE PROOF JAGEX DOESN'T PLAY THEIR OWN GAME!!! If one single Jagex Employee would of ran through the new Phoenix cavern with a familiar, they would of realized the familiar disappear when it chases after the lava monsters that teleport. Seeing as, this glitch is still here and it happens quit frequently, I have evidence to say Jagex does not play their own game. END.
January 6, 200917 yr When I was fighting the phoenix, I kept noticing my attack and ranging stats were halved for about 10 seconds, then restore to max, then halved again after about 10 seconds. At first I thought it was a bug, but then after defeating and resurrecting the phoenix, we had a little chat. The phoenix said its summon can conjure up ashes to temporarily blind their opponents. So I am assuming the pouch can halve your opponents' attack and range levels as well. Could this be helpful in pvp situations such as clan wars etc?

January 6, 200917 yr Over 600 summon xp per phoenix pouch. . 613XP a pouch Already nerfed? When I made my first 5 pouches, I got 301,8 xp each, using 165 shards (4125 gp). Checked with second 5 pouches, making 1 pouch at a time: 302 xp. That means the costs per xp are a bit higher then the costs of the lvl 74 granite lobsters. Right now you can make a profit by selling the phoenix pouch in ge (sold mine for max 5235), but how long will that last? If the price drops to swapping price (2900) the net costs are about the same as the net costs of granite lobsters. Yeah I just tried it 10 minutes ago and got 302 xp (wasn't sure about the decimals) too, already a nerf lol. 621st person to achieve 99 slayer on December 3rd, 2007177th person to 99 summoning on June 21st, 2008
January 6, 200917 yr Woke up this morning, went to RS, saw the awesome new banner, noticed it was a new quest, said 'sweet' Finished up my hunting (65 now :thumbup: ) Went and did the quest. I was disappointed, wasn't long, it was boring, and i'm two levels offof Summoning the thing... (actually i'm not bothered about the last one...) Anyway, has anyone gotten a pet Phoenix yet? #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod

You write the java code to fix it. ... ... ... ... Oh right, you CAN'T! Submit a bug report, shut up, and GTFO back to the RSOF.

January 6, 200917 yr Maybe they caught it after the release and will append the update next system update? Either way, we don't need this kid pissing his pants like "zomg j4g3x d03snt t3ste t3h upd4tes! run3scape died! 1/6/08~~~!!!!r1p run3sc4p3" like a certain person around here *cougheatrunearrowcough* 99 Crafting :: 39,750th || 99 Attack :: 1,775th

And I remember a similar bug happens during some older quests as well. I'm guessing Jagex hasn't figured out how to solve the bug then. That would mean they probably DID test the update, but simply knew that this bug is out of their control for the moment. I hope they get it soon though. ~It's Super Effective!

January 7, 200917 yr Phoenix Pet picture please : Don't you know the first rule of MMO's? Anyone higher level than you has no life, and anyone lower than you is a noob. People in OT eat glass when they are bored.
January 7, 200917 yr I'm extremely dissapointed they nerfed the phoenix pouch exp. I would have much rather they made the quills untradeable rather than cut the exp in half. Now what was once a rather good Distractions and Diversions (D&D) is now one of the more useless D&D's.
January 7, 200917 yr Nerfed already eh? Well that's hilarious. i just assumed that the familiars would be pathetic based on mister phoenix's description and sold off all but one of the feathers.

January 7, 200917 yr Aside from the XP nerf, the Phoenix is still a very good combat familiar for its level. Its got 2 major advantages. 1) It hits decently high for its level. I brought one to Bork to test it out. It hit a 20! That's pretty decent for a level 72 familiar. 2) It uses magic based damage that can hit from distances. Most players in general combat use melee based armor. Thus meaning Pheonix's are going to be more effective vs. Players as you can melee/range while your Phoenix mages, covering the majority of the triangle. Its obviously not extraordinary in PvP, and has no reason to be, its still good none the less. I can see it being used at places like castle/clan wars, and other PvP situations where combat level doesn't matter. I dont see it being used in PvP worlds though, as it would need to be in a multi combat area, which is dangerous on its own, aside from the fact it raises your combat.
January 7, 200917 yr My Runescape day is already pretty crowded, what with 200 stardust a day, merching b-staves, a herb run or 2, weekly Penguins, weekly Kingdom runs, weekly TOG trip... unless the Phoenix familiar can crap out piles of gold coins, I doubt I'll be adding this Distraction to my routine. YMMV. PvP is not for meIn the 3rd Year of the BoycottReal-world money saved since FT/W: Hundreds of DollarsReal-world time saved since FT/W: Thousands of Hours
January 7, 200917 yr AGAIN: is the 7.5k firemaking xp etc that 3HitU talked about re-obtainable each day?! This quest was released less than 24 hours ago, do you really think anyone who's not from Jagex knows it? The xp from the daily task doesn't look that attractive now that they have nerfed the summoning xp of the pouch. I'm more interested in the lava guardians' drops, they seem to have a rather nice charm drop rate.
January 7, 200917 yr After the quest, do I have to bring the tools again and get the twigs and do the ritual again to fight the phoenix or whatever?
January 7, 200917 yr After the quest, do I have to bring the tools again and get the twigs and do the ritual again to fight the phoenix or whatever? Yes. Sceatures, tinderbox and knife. Youi need the branches to ressurect the bird. Don't you know the first rule of MMO's? Anyone higher level than you has no life, and anyone lower than you is a noob.
