Pick a papaya or coconut from the fruit tree patch near Tree Gnome Village.

I went ahead and bought 10m worth of palm tree seeds.

[Jon Arcane]

The reward is a cloak. :/

Ahhh...I am at work also like some other poor people here....=(

 

Can someone find out about the new teleport crystal option...? It says theres a new location?

 

Temple of Light. Drops you right at the dead slave.

The reward is a cloak. :/

Which does...?

[JoeDaStudd]

Nice update. Hopefully a worthwhile reward.

Theres only 1 I can't complete (rocking out relatedback to my roots), but I'll let the hype dye down.

 

Its a reason to add tower of life to my todo list though

[Punitive_D]

Seems like it must be related to thieving.

 

Shouldn't this be treated as a spoiler?

No it shouldn't because you can ask the people who do the diaries what the reward is, now what the cloaks actually do will be a spoiler :)

Bedman, I just added the patch notes a few posts ago...

Bedman, I just added the patch notes a few posts ago...

I saw that now yeah. It must have appeared while I was reading them and copying them.

[swampjedi]

I've been desiring that Arhien update for a long time now!

[Youmu]

We should ask a mod to merge my Golden Joystick topic and 3_Hit_U's Duel Tournament topic into this one.

[Wachtwoord]

Pick a papaya or coconut from the fruit tree patch near Tree Gnome Village.

 

WHYYYYYYY!!!

where are these super high requirements that the high level forum supposedly hinted that we were getting!

 

I have to wait more than 12 hours for the tree to grow why do they do this to me. :wall:

Dude, you have to wait 12 hours before you can finish this update!! I doubt you'll survive that.

 

OT: Never been a very big fan of these myself. I'll wait for the rewards before I decide whether I'm gonna do it or not.

 

I hope the duel tournaments will have a good impact on the amount of people playing. It's my favourite minigame, sadly no one ever plays them. Maybe I'll finally be able to find opponents with my 1900+ rank. :pray:

[Punitive_D]

Never been a very big fan of these myself. I'll wait for the rewards before I decide whether I'm gonna do it or not.

 

I'm wondering which you've found not to be worth doing?

[Mercifull]

A little disapointed that there were no 80+ requirements but it looks like fun. I will probably start the diary and then just cross some of the stuff off during my regular playing and then do the full diary when I decide what to put the exp lamps on.

[DarkDude]

Already had a Papaya growing there so all good for me :D

 

Anyone else's interface messed up? Bank window appears too far up the screen and there are gaps between the skill columns.

[Toad]

On trawler world now trip going on already :wall:

[Wachtwoord]

I don't find them fun to do. It's a game, I do stuff for fun. But to answer your question: I've completed the Varrock one, but never use it. Lumby, Karamja ans Seers were definitely worth doing. I don't see myself doing Fally or Relleka any time soon, don't feel the need for it.

Same here they're really boring but its something to bide my time

[Fatteh]

The hp bar update was the best update of all IMO, when I pk the most frustrating thing is when I think I have a really good kill only to discover they still have a tiny bit of hp left and now it's gone :thumbsup: .

[Lord_Rand]

Spoiler!

 

[hide]Level 1 reward is a funky black and purple cloak that has a chance of hiding you from market guards/stall keepers. Also tele's you to the monastry south of ardy.

EDIT: Image added.

This will be useful on my farming runs.

[Guthorm]

So a free teleport to the city? :blink:

 

Oh boy, now I think the ardy portal in my POH is useless now -.-, god darn it.
