11-Dec-2013 - The Bird and the Beast (World Event 2)

[Howlin0001]

Would it still be possible to get everything for armadyl first then bandos?

[Omali]

 

Or you can focus on getting just the emotes, the titles and the overrides, then get Warpriest/Abilities from GWD after the event ends.

 

Or... you can just wait and see.

Come on, this is day 5/6 and you people are all assuming the event has a plateau'd renown handout.

Besides, if enough people are [bleep]ing (and it seems like there are) Jagex will "fix" it in due time.

 

I have no worries I'll get most everything by event's end and I missed day 1.

 

 

This is Tip.it, where if an update isn't killing RuneScape, it's killing RuneScape.

 

As far as collection goes, my lore personality took the collector personality and left his unconscious body in the trunk of my car. I'd rather have players restricted to picking a side and sticking with it, assuming you can get all of the faction's rewards regardless of who wins.

It actually does work now (it didn't, at all before)

 

616k for God A (leaving ability 3 in god b for now) takes 20.5333.... days

Day 21 is now when t3 opens

Then 548k for God B takes you to 38.8 days.

 

So if you have stayed with 1 god exclusively you are set now to get all rewards with ease.

 

Edit: Actually checking this out if you have swapped (so are with god b now) you can still do it in 38.8 days

Stick with God b to t3 now for 572200 and all rewards (bar t3 ability) at 22.54 days

Then do god a for 487800 and the remaining rewards at 38.8 days

 

Hadn't thought of changing route midway

 

Edit 2:

For anyone that wants to see the numbers this is my spreadsheet.

Top block is the swapping every stage method.

Middle is the 1 god at a time method

Bottom is the started swapping then going straight method.

Thanks Sy for all the calculations, I now only have to worry about my exams. :D

[Howlin0001]

Thanks Sy that's good to know :) How many alchemist's is that assuming someone gets in total (and how much renown back each time?)

[Sy_Accursed]

According to Jagex wiki calendar event ends of the 41st day.

For block 1 (all swaps) this means you need 0.4 extra days aka 12.2k. Alchemists give 4-6k so it is 4 alchemist maximum needed.

Block 2 and 3 both finish on 38.8 days so you have 2.2 days to spare without any Alchemists used.

I missed out on day 1.

According to your calculations, I could still get all rewards if I follow block B, right? I'm currently at 150K renown for Bandos and thinking about going Armadyl for final stretch.

If you missed 1 day block b or block c would work out fine as you'd finish at 39.8 days (1.2 days spare); but block b would be the logical choice since block c is the hybrid mess for those of us who already did the t1 swap to redeem ourselves with the new figures.

 

tl;dr - Yes.

[V O R K]

Does anyone know why I can't use the sacrifice ability with ancients spellbook active? Overall the ability doesn't work as intended at all for mage it seems...

RAGE:@

 

I love it for slayer though, in void healing on the last hit is kind of neat.

[Yoko Kurama]

Now we can get all rewards; awesome. Mod Moltare is awesome. It's so nice to have a J-Mod who listens to concerns and then.... actually does something about them. Take some notes, Mod Chris L.

[krimi]

How does the warmaster title unlock?

I couldn't have said it better.

How does the warmaster title unlock?

 

It's akin to the BoL bonus titles. You can get them randomly through the event.

 

Currently, if you switch sides, you lose the Warmaster of Bandos/Vanguard of Armadyl titles. Is this a glitch or intentional?

It seems intentional; if you have the title in use and then swap sides you get a chatbox message about needing a dragon token implying that until you earn the dragon token it will re-lock on swap.

[strilmus]

while i'm sort of disappointed because i'm gonna end up having the stuff for bandos last due to the switching (and lorewise, there's really nothing to be gained in the postevent quest dialogue by having supported a dead god) PLUS the token leads to a really pointless location for the teleport, at least it's still possible?...

 

the margin should really be a bit wider, but at this point, we just have to be thankful for whatever we got, i guess

[God Of Lego]

If any of you want to know, between getting my cap in renown for today. I also got 100 metal shards.

[Nobody]

I enjoy the fact that I kill some guy 10+ times without dying yet apparently it only seems to count when I die.

[Sylpheed]

If any of you want to know, between getting my cap in renown for today. I also got 100 metal shards.

I got exactly 100 after 30k too. I wonder if that's always the case or just a coincedence.

[Ts_Stormrage]

- Sacred metal shards are now dropped via divining, healing convoy members, building and tearing down buildings.

 

I know I argued for the side of the peaceful one in the Tip.it Times, but I'm still of the opinion that these shards should only become available to you if you have PvP on...

Welcome (back) to competitive online games!

 

I almost miss the old days in Castle Wars. People shouting "prayer noob", "food noob", "mage noob" and the likes. Whenever they lose, it's because you're cheating. Whenever they win (nice lucky dds spec) it's because they're better than you.

I had 112 at 30 k renown today so its probably close to 100/30 k renown for everyone.

[jayc3399]

I got 114 in 30k.

[sarg1010]

I got 148 in 30k. >.>

I don't think kills count if the person is ten or more combat levels below you and deaths don't count if the person is 10 levels above.

[Alg]

I don't think kills count if the person is ten or more combat levels below you and deaths don't count if the person is 10 levels above.

...This is a shame, because with all of the damage scaling and buffs they gave low level players, they're probably harder. I've actually had a 160 in Bandos with a GS absolutely crush me, and when I'm fighting a 200 with tectonic/DW!Virtus, the fight tends to be much closer (Note: I'm 195 and had Ahrim/Chaotic staff both times).

 

I mean, they get stun reduction. I want stun reduction... :(
