February 16, 201214 yr I'm not sure if anyone thought of this or not, but couldn't the effigy nerf be something to do the Dragonkins and some further story with them? When you use a dragonkin lamp you get told "As you focus on your chosen memories, you feel a burning malevolence in the back of your mind. You have gained new insight into [skill]... but at what cost?" It could mean something will be done with that now?

Though I would love to see a sequel to the dragon kin storyline.I kinda mean it in the sense you need say 5 effigiess to summon/fight/whatever some monster/access some area and since you can only have 5 at one time people are more likely to use them as they get them now and it is harder to get effigies now so it could play into it?

If I were to attempt to think like jagex I would go with making a notable effort to show consideration for all parties involved. This means still giving pvmers/slayers the chance, while slightly decreased, to get a second effigy while trying to complete their task. They choose to not go the hard line route of cutting them off with just one effigy because of the potential of having more drops of effigies on the same task. Also as a bonus for players seeking xp, but with a price for seeking it, from unconventional methods they didn't go the hard line route and made it possible to get up to 5 with a decreased drop rate after each one.

February 16, 201214 yr Mod mark said he wanted to bring effigies into the lore of ROTM, but eventually it didn't prove feasible. The new message is just there to have an in-game message explaining it. I very much doubt it has any meaning beyond that, there really is nothing to suggest that it does.
February 16, 201214 yr Author The amount of welfare in this one is amazing. I bawked when I saw Black D'hide, Glory and Polypore :P In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.
February 16, 201214 yr The amount of welfare in this one is amazing. I bawked when I saw Black D'hide, Glory and Polypore :PIt's probably even possible with a tort (not really welfare but the whole concept of using something lesser in place of an ideal item) given my run. Inefficiency = fun. That's objective and can't be debated. Ever.

February 16, 201214 yr Finished the quest, I was kind of surprised at all the high damage splats. [hide=One thing I don't understand:] Where does the Tokkul-Zo come into the story? It just got dumped into my inventory without explanation together with the early bird bonus xp book. Can someone please explain how it is connected? [/hide] As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations it is incapabale of solving approaches zero. Ensure you are not a social situation.
February 16, 201214 yr They messed something up with farming...my brother gets on average, 5 herbs per patch, with the magic secateurs...he gets more without them, on average. What did they do?

[/hide] Given their new discovery that you helped them make they wnated to reward you so gave you a valuable artefact, a ring made of tokkul that makes the user a more powerful warrior.Also they desire to get as much tokkul as possible to save the memories and they charge you 50k tokkul to recharge said ring.

Though I would love to see a sequel to the dragon kin storyline. That's completely irrelevant to what he was saying. Personally I think it was just a shoddy lore-patch to make it in line with their new philosophy. Why would dragonkin effigies fear the dragonkin? You're feeding the knowledge of this land to the dragonkin. Unless they're referencing the Elder Gods, in which I'd have to give them credit because I didn't think The Elder Kiln would see such a quick progression.

[/hide][spoiler=Answer]It's the ring, right?The TzHaar gives it to you as a reward, since you did prove that Tokkul could be converted back into living TzHaar. I could have sworn that there was an explanation, but it might have been if you talk to him after the quest. I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr
February 16, 201214 yr Once I get SoA, I will try and do this with a tort, is it known if anyone has completed this with a tort yet? :unsure:Also, how many restores/ super prays would I need, roughly?

Virtus will help a ton when healing though. :lol: ^^My blog of EoC PvM, lols and Therapy.^^My livestream- Currently: Offline :(Offical Harpy Therapist of the Mad[hide=Lewtations]Barrows drops: Dharok's helm x2, Guthan's helm, Ahrim's top, Hood and skirt, Torag's hammers, Karils skirt, Karil's top, Torag's helm, Verac's skirt, Verac's Flail, Dharok's Platebody.Dag kings drops: Lost count! :wall:4k+ Glacors, 7 Ragefires, 4 Steadfasts, 4 Glaivens, 400+ shards![/hide]

February 16, 201214 yr I'm fairly positive you can do it without yak, even with welfare gear. I seem to have plenty of supplies left while derping numerous times on, say, waves 36 and 35 being the latest. Plenty being well over 12. 99+ all 23rd March 2012 - 2496 total 13th June 2012.9000+ dragon drops! Including draconic visage, d chains, d spears, d2h, d claws, d meds, d legs, d skirts... d bones, d hides :)?I want jagex to put resource dungeons and dungeoneering skill doors to dungeoneering floors so I can dungeon and get dungeoneering xp while I dg so I don't have to dg to get dg exp, but I can dg while I dg :)?
February 16, 201214 yr Just finished the quest. Easy - pretty fun though :P - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog
February 16, 201214 yr The amount of welfare in this one is amazing. I bawked when I saw Black D'hide, Glory and Polypore :P :cry: still has curses. Feeling less hopeful about completing it now.
February 16, 201214 yr http://puu.sh/ha62That's wicked. Now I really have no excuse to fail mine >.< RSN: MurfClick for my blog :)
February 17, 201214 yr The amount of welfare in this one is amazing. I bawked when I saw Black D'hide, Glory and Polypore :P :cry: still has curses. Feeling less hopeful about completing it now.Not just curses, but yak, chaotic, and overloads. BAH :ohnoes:
February 17, 201214 yr I don't know if anyone has noticed this yet, but if you zoom in on the new cape you can see a smoke-like texture around the edges.I thought it was pretty cool. :) (slightly large image)
February 17, 201214 yr The amount of welfare in this one is amazing. I bawked when I saw Black D'hide, Glory and Polypore :P :cry: still has curses. Feeling less hopeful about completing it now. This should boost your confidence a little 99 farm easy
February 17, 201214 yr Smokey9112 got the cape with a tort and barrows gear, so yea you don't need nex armour and yak, although I'd still say 85+ in all combat stats are a reasonable minimum to attempt the kiln with :D
February 17, 201214 yr Good lord. That man had a deeply religious experience rofl. "OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. OH. MY. GOD. OH MY GOOOOD. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD."
