07-Jun-2011 � Deadliest Catch


Da_Latios

Recommended Posts

Having spent his whole life fishing' date=' Jones the fisherman has decided to retire in style. He believes that there’s a fortune to be had by hunting the dreaded Thalassus: a sea monster that’s rumoured to be thousands of years old and as big as a village. That’s what the stories say anyway, as no survivors have returned to tell tales of it, but you can be sure of one thing: you want to be far, far away from it when it surfaces.

 

If Jones is to stand a chance of landing this deadly beast, he needs your help. A rower, harpoon and map are needed before you can head out to hunt (those who suffer from sea-sickness, beware). Then there’s the small problem of finding the beast; while Thalassus is big, the oceans are bigger, and hunting it is like finding a giant, hungry needle in a humungous haystack.

 

You might come across treasure in the shipwrecks out to sea, and there’s a healthy haul of XP to salvage from this master quest. That’s not all, as additional hunting opportunities are on offer to eager sailors.

 

At the end of the day, a hunter or their quarry will be on the menu. So, who will be the Deadliest Catch: Jones or the Thalassus?

As those who voted in the ‘What’s My Name?’ Guaranteed Content Poll will have already noted, the winning sea monster name of ‘Thalassus’ has made it in game and the creature is munching on players as we speak! Thank you to all of those who voted and got the name into RuneScape.

 

We are ending support for older versions of Java (versions older than Sun Java 1.6.0_10) in a couple of weeks time. So that we do not catch players unaware, we have created a warning screen for those players who will be affected, which will pop up when you initially load the RuneScape applet, offering links to help you upgrade. Upgrading from an older version of Java will have the added benefit of running the RuneScape applet more smoothly.

It can't be that hard if everyone is finishing it mere minutes after the update. :?

 

Does Thalassus look like he did in the update teasers?

THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P.

So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually...

Quest done:

 

Overview: Very easy quest. Could be a bit harder imo, it was a little bit too easy seeing the xp reward. The other rewards (hunting Thalassus and fish nets) aren't interesting. Hunted Thalassus 1x after finishing quest, took 5 minutes for 2,5k hunting xp.

 

It worries me that this was actually the best thing of the whole BTS June.
