Equally, I think that the Grand Tree wasn't updated so it would be just as efficient for everyone. Efficiency "noobs" annoy everyone like that. Not trying to offend anyone here.

There's nothing efficient to do at the Grand Tree, in all honesty.

Yes, but I think Jagex were worried there was and that this would upset somebody. After all, efficient people are their main member playerbase.

Agility: doesn't involve the grand tree itself.

Tortoise killing: is for inefficient fools, drop rate for shells sucks on all but warped torts

I like how in the first pic there is a set of armour standing, apprently about to smith something despite it clearly not containing a dwarf or having any logically way to be held up like tht (hovering lower arm/gloves). And before any noob tries the "magic" card don't forget dwarves = anti-magic

 

Dwarves don't mind magic and even like Superheat Item. It's actually the Barbarians who are anti-magic. They almost wiped out the Imcando Dwarves because they used Superheat Item.

the imcando dwarves use magic, the normal ones don't.

Hence the whole refusal to make dragon crossbows cause of magic logs etc.

In an ancient postbag, someone asked an ice mountain dwarf why the dwarven mine doesn't have a furnace, and how they do their smithing. The dwarf replied that all dwarves are taught the superheat item spell from a young age. Pretty sure dwarves also have nature runes in their drop tables.

 

Stop making stuff up.

I'm not making stuff up.

Its clearly stated in many post bags, books, quests and other random dialogues around the game.

 

Most notable two:

 

1) Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf we are outright told dwarves are incapable of using magic other than superheat.

2) Hura the crossbow sales dwarf under ice mountain when asked about making magic log crossbows says:

This might solve your dispute.

Greeting o' wise and powerful Guthix,

 

I wouldst like to ask thee some questions concerning the dwarves, and their mine. 'Twas my understanding that dwarven smiths were the greatest in all runescape, and that their skill in metalworking was rivaled only by their fondness of being alone. These facts dist lead me to wonder, where is their furnace? Surely they do not journey all the way to Falador merely to smelt the ore that they so diligently mine, and trek back again to hammer it? If that is indeed the case then they canst turn themselves invisible for I have never seen one in the city. I understand that it would be too easy to train smithing if all citizens of runescape had access to dwarven furnaces, but could they not be persuaded to grant us use if we completed a quest for them?

 

A bewildered smith,

Dracomancer

Guthix

 

Dwarves learn the magick known as 'superheat item' at a young age, for it removes the uncertainty involved with smelting ores in the more conventional manner, and doth improve their productivity.

 

As such they hath no need for furnaces.

hail gothix,

 

first i want to say that im not a follower of any of the gods reason is i dunno who to trust most :P and sayin that i have 2 questions which i would like a decent answer for, and any of the gods may answer this:

 

1. in the last letter[letter 16] u said that dwarves learn the superheat item* spell at early age, but it is widely known that dwarves dislike and dont even use magic at all...??!!??

 

2. it may not be neccessary cus we can buy runes at some magic shops and many monsters drop them, but would it sound weird for at least high Wizards to make their own runes or is it more weird that they actually cant...??!!??

 

thx in advance,

Kattana

Guthix

 

In answer to thy queries;

 

1) That which is widely known is not necessarily true, just as truth is not always widely known. The dwarves are a highly noble and intelligent race. They know of the benefits that magic doth bring to the metallurgical arts, and use such spells accordingly.

 

2) Thou mayest have noticed that there hath been a minor explosion in the quantity of runes available throughout the world recently. I hath been informed that a lost skill hath been resurrected, but I know not the reason why this secret hath now been shared, nor the purpose for which those behind this discovery plot towards.

 

http://www.runescape.com/kbase/guid/the_races_of_runescape#Dwarves

 

Dwarves are, obviously, a short race with short tempers to match. They are also blessed with a remarkable ingenuity that surpasses other races. Their particular interest is in engineering, for it seems to them a thoroughly sensible way of doing things that weaker and more foolish races resort to magic for. This mistrust of magic is a long-held conviction for the dwarves, who, aside from the odd casting of Superheat Item, have not used magic in any significant way since the construction of Keldagrim all those many centuries ago.

Anyone think this update will wind up being like Herblore Habitat was? After 2 weeks, pretty much empty?

uhh herblore habitat is not empty, it's the best hunter experience in the game and source of the ever-sought juju farming potions

 

i think this update will either be amazing xp and be the pyramid plunder of smithing or will be terrible xp and be the charm sprite hunting of smithing

Maybe, just maybe, there's something to this update they didn't tell us *cough*highlevelsmithingweaponsandarmors*cough* ?!

If the herblore habitat is empty, people are missing out. The pots are amazing, the hunter exp is amazing, and you get more farming spots to level up with.

Yeah herblore habitat is by no means empty it offers the best hunter xp in-game and anyone with an ounce of common sense spends time there making farming juju before they do herb runs.

 

New cannon graphics?

 

New cannon graphics?

Looks good.

 

Should we start speculating about the bronze- rune cannonballs now?

inb4 unintentional cannon nerf due to Jagex not understanding how it works

New cannon, old dwarves... -.-

New cannon, old dwarves... -.-

 

You know it. Here's hoping it comes with the next quest.

I'm hoping that is an actual new cannon look, and not something special we get to work with but our personal cannon remains unchanged. I'd bet that that is what will actually happen.

BTS states that one of the rewards is to "bling" our own cannons.

I have a bad feeling that this will happen. :(

 

That cannon in the picture looks too big to be one which would normally be used though so I have no idea what it'd be used for.

This is speculating off on a tangent but... "Bling" is a thing in Call of Duty that allows you to have 2 secondary attachments to your gun. So many depending on how we "bling" our cannons the cannon may do different things. I could see a scattershot, elemental damage, poisoning, stat draining, or pushback/stun feature being added to the cannon.

"Bling" refers to jewellery and show-offy accessories. Call of Duty usually isn't a reliable reference.

Thus why I said I was speculating off on a tangent. But I hope that they do more than make the cannon look different.
