25-Mar-2013 - Wilderness Warbands

[michel555555]

They already are doing the latter, except that I don't think they changed the rarity of each individual item. Of course the older items will still be rarer even on uncommon and common due to whatever current promotion (in this case the Armadyl/Bandos stuff) having a much higher chance of appearing.

are you sure? i've never seen any queens guard or dragon ceremonial on the wheel since they were removed.

[Blutters]

You're right about those. Those were removed at a certain point with plenty of indication prior, though. I was referring to the few recent ones like Ramokee, 1st Age, and Slayer masks.

Warband news for those of you who care:

 

There are now 2 warband friendchats. They are King Warband and Warband FC. They have a little war going on as Warband FC is a splinter group from the first that claims better leadership, effective antipking, and is safer from spies. In any event, they practice the kill armed white dote rule. If you wield a weapon you die. No word on if you can wear armor for defense or bring a BoB, but so far I haven't been sniped with them. Note, I am led the believe that if you are a white dot and you get a wand, they will kill you. So it'd be wise to join one of the FC's or camp a world and go it alone.

Xp formula

 

Change the 25 to the # of things you looted if not 25.

Xp formula

 

Change the 25 to the # of things you looted if not 25.

 

So really the xp formula is just:

(x^2-2x+100)/2

 

On the basis that the xp formula is the calculation for what 1 gives, the multiplication by how many you have isn't necessary for that value and is just a logical step to derive the xp you'll get. Though if you really wanted to include it should be a variable (y, n or w/e) rather than set 25 seeing as it is not a set value.

 

Also it is just a recycle of Jagex's old fave x^2+2x-100 aka 99 + (x-1)^2 which is the formula for shattered heart, Jack of Trades and crops up in troll invasion with altered signs where it's 8*(wr/wm*(x^2-2x+100)) where wr is the wave you reach and wm is the max waves (which is 7, 20 or 1500 depending on which u play)

So what about the wand now? Is it anything special? As good as ahrims wand coupled with book?

Same stats as Ahrim's. But cheaper.

I heard you could do 3 warbands now at any time rather than 1 per cycle.

Can anyone confirm or disconfirm?

It was never 1 per cycle or anything of the sort, the only limit ever imposed on it was 75 reward token thingies looted per day (which equates to 3 camps a day assuming you fully loot)

Jagex releases 07 servers and update's eoc wilderness?

Damned if they do, damned if they don't. Everyone's a critic either way.

8 hour wait. You couldn't loot 25 from one camp then jump to another. You had to wait 8 hours from the last one you did that granted you 25 supplies.

 

I have yet to confirm this as I still hear people saying they can't do it. Time to check it out. FC are saying limit is gone, so now it's 75 a day.

[Bxpprod]

Early on it was 1 per 8, but that was removed quickly.

More warband news.

 

Straight from the Warband FC chat, the chat color ir purple/pink. Team cape 6/ purple cape / purple fremmy cape. If you can't get into FC wear that.

- Wand is protected by protect item, so I'd recommend bringing a prayer potion

- You can teleport with items if you hop to a free world. Presumably best option is to loot, hop to a free world (need an f2p friend I suppose), HT to Edgeville then hop back.

[Tim]

Isn't Protect prayer disabled in wilderness?

[Saradomin_Mage]

Isn't Protect prayer disabled in wilderness?

Nope, only on high risk worlds.

[Tim]

So basically goto a non high-risk world, chug a prayer pot, activate it and drop dead. insta-wand. (assuming you actually have the wand)

[Pinata]

I can confirm the 3 warbands back2back2back!

Yes, which is what I was getting at, in case I wasn't speaking in basic enough terms. Helps if you add them to action bar:-

[Emaxganis]

I havent tried yet, but maybe someone can confirm.

 

Disrupting the beam got me 18k xp at 93 pray and 15k summ xp at 89. Can this be done all day long?

[Fallstar]

3 times a day.

 

I got 121k mining xp per warband, which is very good considering how long it takes.

[Emaxganis]

3 times a day looting the tents.. I am talking about disrupting beam, summoning help and slaying the leader

[Saradomin_Mage]

I think you can only interact with warbands 3 times a day.

[Flyingjj]

Does the fc allow armor or should one just come with the purple cape and nothing else? What would people recommend?
