21-Jan-2012 - Desert Tasks

Right, so qck was saying that right now there is a glitch with items, like chaotics/degradeables where they do NOT protect under your tomb.

 

Apparently, if you leave items like chaotics on the floor, they no longer appear under your tomb, like they used to. Instead, they just disappear, leaving you high, dry and (bleep)ed.

 

So, Beware.

 

(i could use other people confirming this)

Beat Sunfreet. Wasn't very difficult when I used Ranged and didn't clumsily walk into fire fields.

Dual-wielded Chaotic Crossbows. Sunfreet has a 500 damage cap but Ranged thresholds hit that rather frequently.

 

I hit over 500 many times with thresholds. However, I never hit over 2k.. Not really sure if he still has a threshold really...

 

He is easy if you attack from a distance and know how to dodge fires. If you attack with melee, be prepared to learn how to use resonance to heal off his tail swipe special or take 3k+ each time.

alternatively, just take two steps back as soon as you see him charging up

I found it easier to range than to worry about his special. But yes you could dodge I suppose.

I found Sunfreet's difficulty to be quite overhyped. All you really need to do is memorise the fire pattern and he's pretty much harmless.

 

Sunfreet has been easy ever since EoC. It was only hard pre EoC.

The sole challenge now is avoiding fireballs.

Can someone tell me what Sara items they were wearing to get the holy cithara out of the reliquary? I've tried everything that I can think of and I know that I meet the requirements to get it out of there but it is absolutely refusing to work for me. Help?

First of all, you need to make sure you have the normal prayer and spell books activated and have full prayer.

 

In terms of items, I wore the robes and amulet from the quest, holy book and a Sara arrow.

there was also something about 100% run energy?

 

a list of the items that works is in a reference guide somewhere, although i expect since all the weapons that worked are now two handed, you may find the task a bit more troublesome than usual

someone was saying nex was made harde... can anyone confirm/disprove this?

 

Quite a few people on the RSOF seem to think so as well, I personally think something is up, prior to today I was doing 3/4 Minute QBD kills now struggling to do less then 5min kills while the use of food has almost doubled. I kind of wish they'd quit messing about with the game every couple days and leave it alone...

Nex I hear was harder but QBD? IMO it's much easier, getting 3-4 min kills using about 2-3 food max.

 

Yea, I went back today and I'm just going to have to chalk yesterday up to nothing more then bad luck. Seems a tad easier then prior to the update yesterday but of course, it could all just be in my head.

What is the point of putting another level 75 staff into the game, when we already have the SoL and polypore staff for that tier? Come on now, Jagex. Make it a level 78 staff or something. Or better yet: they could've put an ancient wand into the game.

Given how difficult this task set is (or at least the time investment required), an ancient wand of tier 70 to 75 would have been a completely appropriate reward.

In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

For the Cith, I used the full set, hood, necklace, top and bottom + holy book and sara arrow. Vambraces or cape could be used as replacement for necklace, if you haven't completed Morytania 3 task set.

And indeed, make sure you're on normal prayer, full prayer points (not more, not less) and full run energy.

Yeah, exactly. I'd make it level 75, since we already have Ahrim's wand for level 70.

How about simply for the sake of diversity for putting in another level 75 staff. Yeah maybe not the best route of doing so, but just run with it...

Adding a wand would increase diversity more than yet another staff.

you'de have to be very

 

particular

 

to go for the new ancient staff

 

anyway, puns aside, I really wish they would release more (bleeping)wands.. getting ridiculous when t70 wand is 50m and t80 is 200mish... and we've got 5+2h 75 staves no one ever uses

Sunfreet is a joke. So is dom tower now. I got up to 84 on endurance in <1 hr the other night with 4 nomads, 2 avatars and 2 pest queens. Could easily hit 255 if I didn't have to leave for ports. You could easily get every dom page in a single go with that.

 

Worst task is stupid desert strykewyrm.

It really really should've just converted the ancient staff into a lv75 wand.

 

Nope. Rewards are fine, like for such easy set of tasks. Also don't think Jagex want impact so much in price of "elitist" gear like Virtus Wand for example. And Ancient Staff improvement isnt a concern at all as we got loads of better staffs to use.
