07-Dec-2010 - Warriors� Guild and Dragon Defender

[Michael]

You know that shiny red dragon defender that so many people have been suggesting on the forums? Well' date=' from today, you can get one from the noble custodians of the Warriors' Guild...that is if you already own a rune defender and spend some more time in Kamfreena's cyclops room.

 

While in that room after a dragon defender, the cyclopes may just have had enough of you killing off their brethren, and call in their bigger, meaner brother-in-arms the cyclossus. He's no pushover, and youll need a rune or dragon defender equipped, but should you be able to defeat him youll find yourself well rewarded!

 

To aid you in gaining a dragon defender, the other trainers at the Warriors' Guild have made some small tweaks to their own training rooms. For instance, you'll find that your Strength level and stance really makes a difference when throwing the shot, and Jimmy's added a little extra challenge when youre wearing your alcoholic headpiece.

 

You'll also no longer have to carry around bagfuls of tokens, as they are now just kept track of in a handy interface. You can also use a new multi-token mode in the cyclops room, which will give you more time in there, increasing your chances of receiving a dragon defender.

From the KB:

 

By fighting and defeating cyclopes, you gain a chance that they will drop a defender, among other items. The first defender you get will always be bronze. When you have this, return to Kamfreena and show her it. When you enter again, she will say that the cyclopes will now drop the next one up (iron). Again, you will have to kill them until you are lucky enough to receive this drop. Continue this for steel, black, mithril, adamant, rune and finally dragon. The hallowed dragon defender is much more likely to be dropped by a cyclossus, which can only be defeated while wielding a dragon or rune defender.

 

Note the bolded part. Does this mean that normal cyclopes can still drop the dragon defender? Hmm Hmm Hmm.

[Shovelmeface]

New pengs? Hopefully theres more than 16 points available per week :D

[stonewall337]

OMFG@@@@@@@@@

 

TBH not really caring if its muli/single, I have claws/bandos/overloads/turm etc. But I hope its not too packed...

[Blake]

Maybe I'll start playing again :unsure:

Yes.

[stan18]

sounds like the cyclossus is a one-monster in the cyclops room. UGH. It is going to be so packed in there.

 

EDIT:

 

Just read this: You will have a greater chance of fighting a cyclossus

 

Seems like it will appear after you kill a certain amount of cylcops

[Star.]

Damn, it's gonna be packed I bet >_< I'll guess I'll wait till I get it <3:

[Andy]

I DONT I'M [bleep]ED

:/

[Quyneax]

Yay. Farm run then defender.

 

EDIT: got one. It's madness in that guild :shock:. Took 11 kills or so.

[Arthu]

Nah, they just give new possible locations I think, keeping the total amount of points maximum still at 16.

[Michael]

25 + 24 + 23 - 3 - 2 + 25 + 24 + 23 - 3 - 2 + 10 + 6 + 0

Defender stats from KB.

[langer]

expected higher attack bonus form dragon defender... Still a nice upgrade to combat and XP rates!

[Logdotzip]

[Jon Arcane]

 

And no update would be complete without the KB goofing up something :lol:

[stan18]

 

I think its the first dragon item to have non-60 stats as requirements

[Saradomin_Mage]

50 attack and defence? >.<

[Jon Arcane]

In game still says it requires 60 att and 60 def. The KB is just rubbish as always.

[Blake]

I stood by the door to the cyclops for 2 minutes and saw 3 people get it, off of the regular ones. Seems easy to get :thumbup:

[Flareboy64]

100+ people my world, freakin crazy laggy

[Logdotzip]

 

Feels good to be gangster

[No_99_Melee]

 

Already seen 3 people with it at GE

[SwreeTak]

Seems like a good update ^^. Even though I will probably never get one of those defenders, I'm happy that Jagex put them into the game since so many players have requested them for so long. And the dragon defender looks cool too.

However, I think that the best part of this update is the new combat sounds. Awesome work, Jagex :D!

[Mercifull]

Penguins different locations? :S Bloody hell it already takes me like 2 hours to do em.

[ThePeoplesNo0b]

Got one my third kill, trying to figure out the helmet thing though. I want one@@
