Ariane Quest Double Bill 28th November

I got the prayer exp from talking to the lesser demon afterwards but I can't find anything else...I think it'll have something to do with the organ though[/hide]

 

I'd be willing to bet on rewards from the organ somehow. I tried playing Air surge and Fire surge on it to no avail.

 

[hide=]Notice how it's showing the old number of runes to cast the spells? Bit weird.

 

The organ can show 19 notes at once, so maybe we play spells in the old spellbook that used to have 19 runes to cast?[/hide]

[Scherzo]

Am I the only one that found it a bit odd that the "code" for water surge was 10x water 7x air 1 blood 1 death, when with the eoc it simply requires 5 air and 5 death runes?

It's a throwback to the old, less concentional, method of practicing magic.

This all looks great. I can't wait to get home and do the new quest.

 

I can almost hear my poor old laptop crying just looking at pictures of the new tower. :lol:

If you read one of the books, it says that method is outdated, and the mages found a better way to cast spells. During the previous Archmage time, people would still use the Old Water Surge, hence why you need to use it in the organ.

 

[Drazhor]

Apologies, I didn't really read it too much :P

 

Anyway, they updated the RC guild with the update, I decided to go have a look about.

Looks pretty nice, but then I wanted to take a closer look at the map which shows the location of the RC altars.

 

Thought this was a bit strange.

One arrow is pointing to the desert, which had a lot more green on it that is there (which is none, aside from the dots for the cacti!)

 

The other 2 arrows are pointing to what I thought to be some land masses; what you guys think?

[Unknown_Warrior]

I was gobsmacked at the beauty of the new tower. Truly.

[Ginger_Warrior]

It could just be a 30 min duration aura that has a daily cooldown. A constant 50% for the entire month would be a bit mad.

That's a big understatement. On top of all the other XP giveaways this year, it's gamebreaking. I don't usually give much credence to veterans who state "We did it the hard way" but it's becoming increasingly difficult to say that their achievements aren't being devalued to junk.

 

The achievements mean nothing already.

 

But the achievements mean nothing outside of a personal realm. There are many updates - giveaways or otherwise - the add to the "devaluing" of "achievements" - Runespan a prime example. What about penguins giving exp every week. DEVALUED OH NO. It's only such if you let yourself believe it to be, and youre going to for a number of reasons, not just a shitty aura that gives exp away once a day.

They don't mean "nothing", and that isn't what I actually said. I think you've blown what I said out of all proportion just to make an argument for yourself there.

All of the NPCs in Temple Trekking are now as powerful as they should be post-Evolution of Combat.

 

 

Good. It was such a pain trying to tank with them never hitting above a 30.

Wizard's Tower looks great, for the brief intervals I can see it. Update's kinda marred by the continued crashing and DCing post-EoC. Was hoping it would just magically fix itself with the next game update (this update). [bleep]sake.

[Demoli]

I don't know about you, but the 50% crash has been around for waaaaay longer than the EoC.

 

They just updated and fixed the WBD glitches along with some other things, no Void fix yet. I am disapoint.

[Krampell]

Here's the Ariane's emote and home teleportation spell for those who haven't seen them yet

In the picture I also wore the male version of Ariane's clothes.

I know the quality is shit, but it's .gif, what you gonna do?

Edit: Dang name error...

[Saradomin_Mage]

I guess the male version of Ariane would be Adriane :P

[Krampell]

Oh god, my bad >_>

[Kimberly]

Did anyone else notice the old portal sounds in the old tower? You heard them in the office opposite of the Red's tower, by some book shelves in the study, etc. I wonder if that was just an oversight.

I know, and the 50% thing is compounding my already existing problems. For example, a new problem I've just experienced today is that the game will be playing but the screen will be black other than interfaces. I could click on things through the black and interact with them as well as hear sounds and move, but the black space never restored itself, even after going to the lobby and coming back.

I've had this a few times already, since around October. Usually gets solved after some time (3 minutes or so), or closing the whole game and reloading it.

[spoiler=Post-Quest Rewards]The news post only said for those with high prayer, mage and rc. Title for 99 rc and demon xp covers that

[aspeeder]

I really enjoyed these quests, and I actually enjoyed how they tied us helping the signature hero into their character arc (Not being very socially adept). Were some lore problems I'm not sure of though.

 

Two things mostly: for one the Blue mages were the ones that invented most of the enchantment spells, yet the cosmic rune was shown to be aligned with the grey mages. In addition, a lesser demon was the key master to an entire other realm of existence? I can't imagine what kind of power greater or black demons have then, and we kill them by the hundreds.

 

[Demoli]

I guess centuries of imprisionment kinda Lessen your power.

[strilmus]

I think some demons are more useful than others....

 

like the many armed one that makes subjugation robes

[Stev]

I got 13.5k pure essence in the dudes chest at the end of rune memories.

 

Free 1m I guess.

I got 24.7K.

[Tim]

I got 50% loadings everywhere :\

N.....no they weren't......:(
