Even after solving this clue, can someone explain the logic of the solution to me?

 

The 4 pictures are from the god letters which is hinted at by the gods play things phrase.

Within the god letters all 4 pictures have an extra item.

Top left the air rune has been obsured

Top right an iron pick is removed

Beer glasses vanished from runelink board and a knife and fork from the skull.

 

This gives air rune, iron pick, beer glass, knife (since we have knives but not forks in game)

 

The numbers are hemmed in with skill symbols, but they don;t match up.

You re-arrange the 4 quarters of the image til the skill logos match, when you do this you end up with:

14 2

3 7

 

Then you match the grid results up

14 air rune

2 iron pick

3 beer glass

7 knife

Chances are it's a reference to something obscure.

 

More importantly, Jagex has got to stop using jpg files. This is the 21st century, we have png now...

So true!

Png is good, but quality for quality in perceptible terms high quality jpg is just as good and much smaller file size

A ghost speaking in front of its lair was told to be quiet, so it gave in without a why. Six, sibling from New Zealand and Spain's promise. I hear them eating our arm about twice. Bring me these items to solve their greed.

 

 

Waiting on the German/French forum threads to be updated so we can see if there's actual meaning behind the words or if it just an anagram.

 

edit:

« Si dense, ça ne peut être qu’un duo d’airain.

 

Un émissaire cornu attaché, entre un et trois, dans la forêt.

 

Deux cottes pour jumeaux qui boulottent d’un lingot la moitié.

 

Amenez-moi ces objets pour qu’enfin soit apaisée leur faim. »

 

French clue is completely different in meaning. So it's just the letters that are important, not the words or their meaning.

 

Im googling for an anagram solver but I can't find any that can do whole sentences.

From the german RSOF:

Sechs brauchen Onyx, Zeit ist diffizil bis auf Weiteres.

 

"Ein Wald und ein Schelm, wer an die Bürger denkt.

 

"Die Wüste Gobi lindert die Aufrüstung doppelt.

 

Bring mir dies, um ihre Gier zu lösen."

 

Which is another meaning than the english one, so probably the meaning is irrelevant... i hate anagrams and such. :(

Just a thought, probably wrong :P

"so it gave in without a why."

 

I'm assuming to give in "without a y" is a synonym for give in without the letter y, comply would work so you get "compl", which might be a part of the greater clue, may have to complete something? [/hide]

You're on the right track. I've done the first two, stuck on the last :(

I don't know how to do the hiding thing though, and I don't want to just give away the answers :P

from runewiki:

 

[hide]Wooden Shield (ghost speaking = woo, lair = den, be quiet = sh, gave in without a 'y' = ield)

 

6 Bronze Sword (Six = 6, Sibling = bro, New Zealand = nz, Spain = s, promise = word) [/hide]

 

edit: they're gone now. So dunno.

Okay, cool.

 

These are all anagrams and synonyms and such.

 

First clue:

 

[hide] A ghost speaking = 'woo', lair = 'den', told to be quiet = 'sh', give in = 'yield', without a "why" = eild, so the answer is wooden shield. [/hide]

 

Second:

 

[hide] six is the number. sibling = bro, New Zealand = NZ, (so bronze), spain = 's', promise = word, so the answer is bronze sword. [/hide]

 

Third:

 

[hide] not too sure about this one. "our arm" is an anagram of 'armour', but I'm not sure about the rest. Obviously we need two of them though. [/hide]

 

That's all I've got so far.

 

EDIT: seems LrdOfDth beat me to the first two.

I feel "I hear" might be Iron

 

Ah an idea:

I hear = iron

them eatting = plate

them = people = pl

eatting = ate

"our arm about twice" could be a 2h sword?

 

I don't think so, that doesn't fit with the style of the other two clues.

Trouble is plate legs or plate body?

Unless its devious and means 2 of each?

 

or "our arm about twice" some how forms into body or legs

 

also

"Bring me these items to solve their greed."

I think its aniother item

 

Bring = take = t

me = you

combined to get t-you = two

I feel if we are on the right track 4th item must be steel.

 

Wooden shield

6 Bronze Swords

2(?) Iron Plate (legs, body, skirt?)

2 ?

 

Given the progression something steel would make sense
