10th August 2009 - Fur 'n' Seek (and Patch Notes)

The Odd Old Man is again in need of a hand, but this time its not all going to be about bones. Apparently, he has new needs that will require adventurers to seek the hides, pelts and skins of creatures commonly found in the Fremennik Province.

 

 

 

Players will be able to allow the Odd Old Man to take his plan fur-ther. More experienced players will then be able to help him the rest of the way, getting extra rewards and uncovering the truth behind one of RuneScapes most guarded secrets just what is in that mumbling bonesack?

New summon monster. You get 99 summon and complete a hard quest to gain the ability to summon Jesus, who splits the waters allowing you to walk to a new port town where you unlock the sailing skill. Obviously ;)

 

That was Moses you idiot.

 

That gets fixed in the bugfix the following week. Maybe.

to those that say low quest requirements already:-

 

 

 

"More experienced players will then be able to help him the rest of the way, getting extra rewards"

 

 

 

Just wait and see for 5 minutes, ok?

 

For a super rucksack? extra rewards doesn't remotely seem promising....

 

 

 

berserker iumbed seems like the only worthwhile update, but at the cost- playing a deadboring, short-minded minigame, it'll not be used much.

First to 99 Farming on 27. September, 2005.

First to 3766 Port Score on 20. March, 2014.

First to 4664 Port Score on 2. March, 2015.
