tr33hugger Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hi, while I was waiting for the quest Regicide to start, after I completed Underground Pass, I wondered why it took so long before the messenger of king Lathas came to me. I decided to try on the staff of Iban, and the moment I did that, the messenger came. Maybe handy to put in the guide? The messenger only comes when you PUT ON the staff of Iban after finishing Underground Pass, at least, that's what i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Not true.The messenger comes at random and 1 lone example of the messenger happening to turn up for you when u happened to wield the staff does no constitute evidence that it is not random.

tr33hugger Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 True, but how do you explain the fact that I have waited 2 days for Regicide to begin and then, when I equipped the staff, the messenger DID come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 It's random.Regicide was out for about a week before I got the messenger; I got it when I opened a gate. Doesn't mean opening a gate causes it.

tr33hugger Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 hm, maybe, but it should be investigated in my opinion, because it would save some waiting if it would be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 The quest has been out what 5 or 6 yrs? There to date has been no correlation of any particular 1 event causing the quest to start, if there was it'd of come up by now and be very apparent. It's been known since release, the messenger comes to you randomly. When it was first added iirc jagex noted the messenger ran on the same script as random events essentially.

Jaffy1 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hello again tr33hugger, Thank you for your submission, however I don't think equipting an Iban's staff is required to start regicide.As I recall, the messenger came around half an hour after I had completed Underground Pass, and I've never used my Iban's staff after completing the quest. Although it may have taken a tad longer for him to show up in your case, what exactly (aside from wielding it) makes you think it was your Iban's staff that made it appear? Did a character mention it in dialog, or did it do anything it wouldn't normally do? Thanks :) Tip.It Website Crew Leader[hide=Quotes]I love it how Jafje comes outa nowhere and answers my questionsHehe now we know what real life does...drugs, drugs, more drugs. Thank god we are addicted to something that won't kill us. [/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr33hugger Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hello Jaffy1, Well, to start with, I waited a couple of hours for it to start after I had finished Underground Pass, but nothing happened and no messenger showed up. I talked it over with a real life friend the next day, and he said, like you guys say, that the messenger showed up pretty fast after he ended Underground Pass. The day after that day I was wondering why it took so long and went to king Lathas a few times, but the only thing he said, was that the mages weren't ready yet... (i tried every 1 hour) When nothing happened after 4 tries, i decided to equip the staff of Iban (I hadn't done that before, just banked it immediately after obtaining), and the exact moment I did that, the messenger showed up. I thought it couldn't be coincedence.. But, apparently, it was. Although, I still have my doubts^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
