BiJay Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 If youve passed all your archaeology exams youll know just how strict the researchers at the Digsite can be, so when an unproven archaeologist shows an interest in restoring the temple you discovered in the caverns under the site, the archaeological expert there is somewhat suspicious. As it so happens, your colleague Ali the Wise is also an acquaintance of this Dr Nabanik, and has suggested that you might be of assistance. With Dr Nabaniks experience and your adventuring know-how combined, perhaps you can restore this long-forgotten temple. It wont be easy, though. Only original artefacts are good enough for this expert in all things ancient, and the current owners of these artefacts are unlikely to give them up without a considerable fight. Since creating the first quest in this recent Mahjarrat series The Tale of the Muspah Ive been eager to develop more. Mod Newmatic (Missing My Mummy), Paul (Curse of Arrav) and I combined forces to bring you this latest episode of Mahjarrat-based antics.

There's a new setting in the display options menu for CPU usage, so you can set how much of your computer's CPU resources are available to RuneScape. You may have to test it out to see which setting works best for your setup. The delivery cost for dragon daggers has been slightly adjusted and their initial shop supply has been improved. The recharge costs for most items (excluding gloves) from Fist of Guthix have been reduced. Five minutes before your cannon fully decays, youll notice some new animation effects to give you a bit more warning. For those who have not completed the Cryptic Clue Fest, we will be removing it from the game on the week commencing 7th December, so you have a few more days to unravel it.

Ronan Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Looks great - we've also got the Prayer update with Curses after this quest! :^_^: Upon completing the Temple at Senntisten quest, you will gain access to the ancient hymnal, which, once read, will allow you to use curses. Unlike normal prayers, which you gain access to as your Prayer level increases, the curses require you to change your entire prayer list by travelling to Senntisten Temple (under the Digsite) and praying at the altar there. To change back to the normal prayer list, pray at any other altar. To view what curses are available to you in game, simply click on the Prayer icon. This can be found either at the top-right corner of the in-game menu (windowed mode) or at the bottom-right of the screen (resizable or full-screen mode). You should now have a list of all the curses, with those currently available to you being lit up. Finally, not only does the altar at Senntisten Temple allow you to switch to curses, it also provides a handy 15% boost over your maximum Prayer level. Curse Interface Curse Information: * Like the 'Protect from' prayers, Deflect curses stop 100% of damage caused by NPCs and 60% of damage caused by other players (in PvP). In addition, they also have a chance of deflecting some of the damage they would have caused back onto the attacker. As with 'Protect from' prayers, you can only deflect one style of combat at a time (Magic, melee or Ranged). Creatures that can only be damaged in a specific way (for example, the vyrewatch can only be damaged by the Ivandis flail) cannot be hurt using a deflect curse. + You can have multiple sap or leech curses active at the same time (e.g. Sap Mage, Sap Warrior and Sap Ranger), but you cannot have the a sap and leech curse of the same type active at the same time (e.g. you cannot have Sap Ranger and Leech Ranged active together). ~ You can only have either Soul Split, Wrath, Turmoil or one deflect curse active at any one time KB Article: Prayer - The Ancient Curses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravy Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Those prayers don't seem all too fancy, or I'm just reading it wrong.

BloodAngel Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Have quests on anyone else's list turned yellow even though they have been completed? It says I haven't completed Dwarf Cannon even though until 30 minutes ago I was wearing my Quest Cape :blink: Prayers look nice though, probably wont use them like I don't use Ancients because of the trek involved to get them though, "Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale."

RSBDavid Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 They better not decide these curses are too tough for pvp rendering them useless for dangerous pvp like extreme potions.

jonni Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 The CPU usage option seems to have very little actual effect on CPU usage - I've tested it on all the computers in my home.
