07-Oct-2010 - Postbag from the Heim + Chaos Elemental Riddles

[Den]

Guess who's back? Postbag's back! Tell a friend... The Postbag from the Hedge is back, and has returned in a surprising flavour. In the time that has passed between this and the last edition, the halls of Daemonheim have opened their cobwebbed doors. The 'Heim has obviously captured your imagination, as Postie Pete has received a coal bag-full of letters to your favourite Dungeoneering NPCs.

 

So, head to this edition of the Postbag from the Hedge to hear from Marmaros, Thok, Yk'Lagor the Thunderous, and a stalker calling itself by the name 'Mel-Ona the Scale'... You may even pick up some Dungeoneering tips on the way.

Fourth Age, year 1:19:

Mel-ona the Scale

 

 

Decrypted version:

 

[hide=Part 1]

Judge , locks and fowl share a theme with our new naut.

Dreadlocks, dreadfowl, and Judge Dredd? Brilliant!

 

So something about a Dreadnaut. (Warped Dungeoneering Boss Probably)

 

Fourth Age, year 01-59: Behold, my pet: a bestseller shower. One should note, if they wish to find out how RT maddened.

 

01-59 - The floors leading up to final floor of Daemonheim

RT = Rewards Trader

 

By adding "Sevga" to your in-game note's, you get this message:

Solved:

Book of Job, 1:19

 

"And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee."

 

From the Luminescent Icefiend's diary, the second entry is dated 1:19 and starts out with "mix in a Job".

 

-----

 

You can keep man.

"Keep man" is an acronym for "Apmeken."

 

-----

 

the "wind swept in from the wilderness and smote the 4 corners".

 

maybe the 4 corners are the 4 demi gods of the desert pantheon.

 

We know that desert pantheon, and their followers were decimated after the god wars by zamorakian/saradomin forces.

Perhaps the wind from the wilderness was Zamorak, who after returning to Gielinor offered one of his demon generals to ravage the desert.[/hide]

Day/Month/Year = 7th of October, 2009

 

On October 7 2009, the high level herblore potions came out. Maybe, there will be more high level potions, farming crops, and hunter traps.. http://services.rune...ons?allcat=true

 

Back when Overloads and Extreme potions were banned from PvP worlds, there was a thread where one of the Mod's started getting ideas for a second batch of potions to replace the "loss" of removing Extremes from PvP. I remember this, because one of the suggestions by the Mod was a "death prevention potion" which I though was pretty interesting.

 

It is quite possible this update will be the second batch of those potions they were working on.

The strong remembers, the weak falls.

This has been speculated to mean "Robert the Strong remembers the baxtorian falls"

 

Robert the Strong was a dragon kin slayer, and the baxtorian falls being a dragon kin fortress.

 

So I would say hint 4 is a reference to a WGS sequel.[/hide]

The entire letter from the Chaos Elemental had various spaces that shouldn't be there, like so...

 

"... Judge , locks..."

"... shower . One..."

"... Sevga , if..."

"... red , but..."

"... box !: they..."

"... waste . The..."

 

Taking the last letter of every word before the space reveals E R A D X E or RED AXE.

 

Mel-ona the Scale is an anagram for "chaoS-eleMental"

I hope its herbs from a hunter creature, more farming patches for herbs (including potato cactus patches & seeds) then herb gets a little cheaper & some seconds are more obtainable.

 

I'd like to see a fix to the so called curve of farming like they did with pre-91 rc which wasnt needed where your farming level does change your yield of herbs :\

the firts thingy has something te do with dreadlocks and dreadfowls "Judge , [/b]locks and fowl share a theme with our new naut. Behold, my pet: a bestseller shower . One should note, Sevga , if they wish to find out how RT maddened."

[Troacctid]

Dreadlocks, dreadfowls, and Judge Dredd? Brilliant!

 

So something about a dreadnaut.

[spoiler=First part]Fourth Age, year 01-59: Judge , locks and fowl share a theme with our new naut. Behold, my pet: a bestseller shower . One should note, Sevga , if they wish to find out how RT maddened.

 

 

Something to do with Dungeoneering warped floors, because:

 

01-59 - The floors leading up to final floor of daemonheim

 

Dreadnaut - similar to Rammernaut

 

RT = rewards trader

[stonewall337]

Wow, I laughed several times, especially at:

 

"His name is pronounced "Nuck-kul-head"

 

and

 

"Thok not surprised if adventurers ask for shoelacecrusher from Thok."

 

Also, I'm assuming that the "D" is short for the WOM's real name, Dionysius.

[Ambler]

what ive got on the second clue so far:

 

 

Fourth Age, year 1:19: not sure on this

 

Mix in a Job. capital J, probably anigram of some sort?

"Hey, monkey features! You can keep man, but get those simians out of my sandpit!" maybe you have to turn into a monkey again,

It may not be wise to defy red- avoid dammage perhaps?

, but it's possible with scattered chip mice and a worn mule cart. anigram? dont see how else this would make sense. I think there is a worn mule cart in runescape somewhere? not 100% sure

 

Hope this helps someone work it out! ima go sleep.

Just in case anyone instantly thought the same as me, perhaps biblical reference, Job 1:19 goes as follows:

 

"when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house"

 

While this may be barking up entirely the wrong tree, it does mention sand, and red may perhaps be a desert deity. (similar to the story of Job)

The mention of monkey confuses me though, especially with Mambo (the monkey god) being referenced in a different section....

 

Meh, it's probably wrong, but this is what discussing potential answers is all about, right? :/

 

 

Edit: Perhaps it'll revolve around the Devourer Vs Icthlarin tension once more

 

This is my first ever post :D
