Arceus Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 So here is the week's update, all P2P I guess... King Black Dragon & Dungeon Rework King Black Dragon (Members Only) It's been ten years since the King Black Dragon ate his first adventurer, and although Gielinor is a bigger, more dangerous place than ever, he's still ranked among RuneScape's most lethal monsters. With this in mind, we're proud to herald the return of the king, with an awe-inspiring new look and graphically reworked lair! To tempt a new generation of dragon slayers to face down this three-headed terror, there's a magical artefact behind Edgeville Monastery which allows quick access to his home. For those entering the old-fashioned way via the Wilderness, there's a 10% bonus to damage dealt to the King Black Dragon. The dragon's hoard of loot has also been enriched. We've increased the value of his drops across the board, but there are also brand-new Dragon Rider gloves and boots - with best-in-slot prayer bonuses - and two cosmetic upgrade kits for the dragon kiteshield: one adding ornate decoration, and the other giving a more warlike appearance. Finally, everyone involved in taking down the King Black Dragon has a chance to receive a lore book, chronicling the rise and fall of the fabled Dragon Riders. As with the recent God Wars lore books, this will be given in addition to regular drops, so you won't miss out if lore's not your thing. Step into the dragon's lair - if you dare! How to fight the King Black Dragon: Use the artefact behind Edgeville Monastery to teleport there instantly.Alternatively, enter via the Lava Maze in the Wilderness. Doing so earns you a 10% bonus to your damage output against the King Black Dragon for the duration of your visit.Requirements: You must be a RuneScape member.A combat level of 100 or higher is strongly recommended, and bringing friends will greatly increase your chance of survival.Dungeon Updates (Members Only) Along with the King Black Dragon's Lair, four more dungeons have been updated. Battle your way through the following dens of villainy and drink in their breathtaking new graphics and sound: Brimhaven DungeonChaos TunnelsFremennik Slayer DungeonTaverley Dungeon Enjoy! Mod Dylan Behind the Scenes Video If you haven't already, you can take a tour of the King Black Dragon's lair and the dungeon updates in our recent Behind the Scenes video:In Other News Yelps has added crates of skilling resources to the Squeal of Fortune.

Saradomin_Mage Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 The SGS update is in fact F2P :PWonder why they improved the drop table if the KBD still retains its old mechanics. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert_R Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 So they increased drops but didn't change the difficulty of the kbd? Was really hoping this update would make him a challenge. Disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel555555 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 so is it worth it to go through the wild for the 10% damage boost and use supers, or just tele there with ovl [spoiler=click you know you wanna]Me behave? Seriously? As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home from a party after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladin was a thief, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with seven men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac man ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery solving hippies who always had the munchies.

Nothing has ever stopped you from running through the wild to the KBD w/ ovls You make it sound like running through a few level 87 monsters is hard which it really shouldn't be at your level.

strilmus Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 dwarven warsuit is kind of ugly, i was expecting something that was more like an iron man ripoff in the sense that it was awesome like, maybe, 1/5 more coolness, or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homer205 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Just don't drink the potion them go in the wildy and you'll be fine. Seems like these items will crash pretty hard as they don't sound particularly good and kbd isn't exactly difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
