In this brand new quest, available to all members and with no entry requirements, youll be able to gain access to a new upgradable crossbow and several hidden XP rewards while trying to free the innocents from the grip of this most crippling condition. Very high-level players will also appreciate the final reward: a passive damage-reduction buff, active during one of the most highly anticipated boss fights of all time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcane_Rift Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 That pic is pretty sweet. Looks like they included all 3 new items from the QBD. Kite, crossbow and some sort of cape? In the interview they mentioned you don't actually kill the dragon just put her back to sleep and then you get kicked to a treasure chest room to loot your drops. ~ Arcane Rift ~:: 99 Smithing - 2007-03-04 :: :: :: 99 Crafting - 2007-06-18 :: 99 Fletching - 2007-08-27 :::: :: 99 Strength - 2009-05-28 :: :: :: :::: :: :: 99 Prayer - 2011-11-27 :: :: 99 Slayer - 2012-01-15 :::: :: 99 Summoning - 2012-12-07 :: 99 Firemaking - 2012-12-09 :: 99 Woodcutting - 2013-01-17 :: 99 Mining - 2013-01-31 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza285 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 So I guess we'll be getting a new high level staff from the QBD along with the dragon kite and possibly a shield. Not sure on the crossbow and if it just comes from the quest. Maxed [February 14, 2012] | Completionist [October 25, 2012] | Trimmed Completionist [in Progress]Visit my Blog!

They said something about not being too fond of it because of all the other recent stave release updates. I could have heard wrong because the audio was kinda crappy with the british accent. On a barely relevant note... I can't stand rs players who don't know that 'staff' has a different plural name as 'staves'. Makes me want to cringe.

Urza285 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 More food for discussion... Either that is water or its a crack in the foundation showing us a floating dungeon in the sky. This picture, barbecue of the design correlates with the media update pictures that we thought were adamantite dragons. The crack leading through the wall and floor together lead me to think this is an actual floating dungeon. Another thing makes me think that this might actually be the abode of the dragonkin. Maybe after the attacks from robert the strong the dragonkin decided to magically uproot their fortress and place it in the skies. This could also give them more reason to maintain the wings on their draconic creations. There are other pictures with slug-like creatures in them and I'm trying to figure out what they are for... They look awfully familiar to the slug queen/prince. I can see some dissimilarities between these 'slugs' and the mind-controlling slugs though. These ones have four arm-like protrusions and I'm willing to bet these are the wyrms of old.

Posted that pic a page back :) I think those slugs are related to the Quest, Songs from the Depths and that they must be involved in the dreams. I also have a sneaking suspicion that you must complete the quest in order to gain access to the QBD, there must be some connection between them all. Perhaps the QBD is acting like a Mother Mallum and has taken control of the hive mind or whatever it is the slugs have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saradomin_Mage Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Well, it's possible that the dungeon/boss monster is instanced per player, allowing for a solo, uncrashable fight. Rimmington graphical rework + phantasmal apparitions. 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...
Sylpheed Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 So are we getting the QBD and the quest next week? Also, the picture of the player with the QBD might just be concept art but the skirt they're wearing doesn't look like anything we currently have. It's lined with teeth and looks scaly, could be a new armor drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Quest and QBD seem likely since bts said quest was kind of a prelude to QBD giving damage buff etc. And teaser pics surfacing show both QBD lair areas and the Rimmington quest area. And the week after next is the Jubilee so it'd make sense for that week to be the last remaining update aka the Jubilee stuff.

Urza285 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 It looks exactly like the dragon skirt... How do you miss that?! Maybe the QBD comes next week because it will be on a weekly/biweekly/monthly timer to prevent over-camping?

Sorator Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Meh. Not a huge fan of transitioning BtS to video... I almost always prefer things to be in text rather than video. It's easier and faster for me to absorb the information, and I don't have to go find my headphones to avoid weird looks in the computer labs. Edit@v: Ah, so they do. My bad, got the wrong impression. Obtained quest cape and base 92 before obtaining any 99s! Currently finishing out my 99s with the (long-distant) goal of comp cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
