tintin113 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 When the sun is shining, there is nothing better than a barbecue and now you can do the same in Gielinor! The new summer barbecue is a portable cooking range that you can place at a location of your convenience, giving all the benefits of a standard cooking range plus an additional 10% XP boost. No need to worry about your barbecue going cold anytime soon either, as each one can be used up to 999 times! After a nice barbecue, why not finish off your meal with a nice ice cream...on your head? Yelps has added a brand new ice cream cone hat which has the handy benefit of preventing dehydration: something that can be troublesome when travelling across the Kharidian Desert. The hat also contains 10 charges of food, in case you get a bit peckish. Finally, how about letting all your friends know what mood you are in today with your own personal sun or storm cloud which floats above you? Feeling in a positive mood? Then thesummer sun ring will generate a small sun orb which, while worn, will give you a +2 bonus to your defensive stats. Feeling a bit low and the world is getting you down? Then try a summer storm ring which will generate a small rain cloud above your head for everyone to see. It’s not all this doom and gloom though as wearing the storm ring will give you a +2 bonus to your offensive stats, just in case anyone is foolish enough to take you on during your mood! When the year ticks over to 2013, all remaining gameplay effects from these items will be removed, and the items will remain as cosmetic items only. Also, it’s worth noting that if you destroy or die with the item you can reclaim a replacement from Diango, but the cosmetic version only. All four items will be available throughout August and September, but chances of winning are increased for this weekend only (Friday 24th to Monday 27th inclusive - GMT). Don’t forget that members currently get three daily spins instead of one, so subscribing is a sound way to double your chances to win per day. Check out our Squeal of Fortune wiki pagefor more ways to get extra spins. Good luck! The RuneScape Team Thoughts?

Riptide Mage Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 It doesn't even look like a RS item You make it sound like running through a few level 87 monsters is hard which it really shouldn't be at your level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_R Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Two updates like this in 2 days. :wall: I mean I don't really mind the SoF and solomon's rwt shop existing but the only things they seem to be focusing on lately are those two things.

Omnitec Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Anyone know if these items are members only? Didn't say either way in the news post :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1431 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 no one cares about cosmetic crap like this, work on a new skill and new minigames, stop with this soloman and squeel crap.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randox Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I wouldn't say no to a barbecue... However, my objection with some of this stuff is quickly moving from microtransactions to 'this doesn't even make sense in the context of the game'. BBQ being a perfect example, along with several outfits. It's sort of like how many emotes aren't emotes in spirit anymore (spirit being actually displaying an emotion). I won't deny they look cool, or that the ones for the stage in particular are useful, but the transformation ones in particular are out of place to me. Movement ones are cool, but the transformations ones seem to defy the game world itself. This is probably why most games (I have seen) will have only one or two 'fun' items that are totally wacky and make no sense, and everything else will still be grounded in the game world. Jagex kind of ran out of ideas, but their wallet isn't full enough yet, so maybe we really will see some 'fun' guns in the game one day or something.

decebal Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Anyone know if these items are members only? Didn't say either way in the news post The summer ring above is member's only. I saw it on my wheel, and it said "Awesome Member's Object!" Two microtransaction update a month is hard to swallow, two in three days is unbearable.

Tres Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 this sux i used all my 4 member accounts to spin total 42 spins and only 1 landed to exclusive new item which was hat...its extremely lucky to get all of those without buying any spins...i really think they made rates lower than it was with monkey items...i was spinning monkey items well even with daily spins and got hats and barrels in all of my members then really this stuff was unnecessary we already had summer item set there yet they make another batch right after... i really wanted that beach emote from previous set so i even bought 75 spin package then in mind that it should be guaranteed to get with that many spins but was not getting so even 100 spins not guarantee any of those...if i wanted all exclusives that they putting these days i would need to spend quite much cash to get them especially with this rate they adding them. This is 15th single update to sof so far...yet its almost guaranteed that there will be alot more until end of year...if you are collector, prepare to spend hundreds of dollars just to get all.

Nopenope Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Don't understand why people seem surprised and/or complain about these sort of updates. Get ready for freaky fall and all the fun that will come with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwreeTak Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Even more SoF special offers for a limited time items...:/I don't like that they're adding so many pretty much worthless items just to get people to buy spins. Then I actually prefer them doing things like double cash on the squeal of fortune. Because this is just meaningless.

Den Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Two microtransaction updates in one week? ..... Ahahahahahahaha. I don't care what their excuse is anymore. Jagex or IVPex, they're both just greedy these days.Quitting after Trim Comp might be a good idea. I can't stand all this bull waste of time content. ........::::: Rainy's YouTube Channel - Rainy's Twitter - Rainy's Facebook - Rainy's DeviantArt - Rainy's Tumblr - Rainy's Tip.It Profile :::::.........

Mercifull Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Are Jagex devs banned for putting in new content without it being linked to the SoF or Solomon anymore? Half these things go completely against the lore of the game and look totally out of place. Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

Demoli Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I really don't mind solomon, but I do think the Squeal is getting out of control, at least they still haven't crosssed the "best stats in the game" barrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demoli Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Yeah, but at least now those same rings are not the same insane price right? Only for Onyx i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 The bit I find interesting is these items will become cosmetic only and Diango can actually return them.So does this mean Jagex could maybe add monkey hats, monkey mace, beachball, the horns, the tattoos, the sharkfists, dragon cremonial, royal guard etc. etc. to Diango? I mean obviously the lucky items need to be loseable otherwise infinite free armour and the consumables like food, monkey barrell etc. but why can't the cosmetic stuff all be reclaimable?

I'm tired of having 20 slots in my bank eaten up by this crap because they can't be bothered to make it costume-room functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
