Miss Lioness Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Heart of Stone - Elder Gods Quest It's hero vs hero in Heart of Stone: the first quest in RuneScape's new 'Elder Gods' series, and your choice from the Player Power quest poll earlier this year. Legendary hero Xenia has gone rogue, and Ariane's vowed to take her down. You'll team up with a state-of-the-art tracking golem - whose personality will develop based on your choices. Ultimately, you'll find out what drove Xenia to murder, and uncover a secret that could change Gielinor forever. There's Thanksgiving fun to be had from Thursday, too, as the Lumbridge Castle chef's brother needs your help to find his wayward turkeys - there's a new title to earn for doing so. Read on to find out more!Heart of StoneHeart of Stone is a members-only questRequired skills and quests:35 Magic, 25 RunecraftingCarnilllean Rising, Rune MemoriesTo start:Find Xenia and Ariane outside the Wizards' Tower, south of Draynor Village. When the quest starts, you'll find Xenia and Ariane in a heated disagreement. Once Xenia flees the scene, Ariane will kit you out with a tracking golem named Kipple. You'll need to tune into to the magical teleportation traces left by Xenia, and follow her trail around the world. You'll visit a number of locations, completing puzzles or battling guardians at each one, uncovering long-lost secrets of the elder gods as you do so. Succeed in tracking down Xenia and you'll earn a chunk of XP, plus a golem follower pet, whosepersonality will be defined by the choices you made during the quest. You'll also have set in motion the events of an all-new quest line - one that'll be right at the core of RuneScape's Sixth Age.Thanksgiving 2014 The Lumbridge Castle cook's brother has unwittingly unleashed a flock of turkeys, and it's up to you to find them up in our Thanksgiving event, running from 00:00 GMT on 27th November to 23:59 on 30th November. There are 20 to locate all around Gielinor - 10 in free-to-play areas, and 10 only accessible to members. Find 10 turkeys and you'll unlock the new 'the Thanksgiver' title, plus all free-to-play rewards from Thanksgivings past. Track down all 20 and you'll get a large XP lamp, plus all previous members' Thanksgiving rewards.Enjoy! Have fun - whether you're uncovering time-lost knowledge or just pinpointing poultry.

Arceus Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'm looking forward to turkey tracking, but why give us such a short window to hunt them down?

Wkw Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I think I got to a decent place in the quest an hour into it, before I had to leave for work. Aside from taking to a few things, I'm not seeing all the lore. I hope that comes later.

helring Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I think I got to a decent place in the quest an hour into it, before I had to leave for work. Aside from taking to a few things, I'm not seeing all the lore. I hope that comes later. Remember, for some of the older players this will be a general rehash of the lore. This is an intermediate quest meant to introduce the Elder God concept and a bit of info about them to newer players. So it won't be as in-depth lore-wise as FotG or the wandering ga'al bookcase.

That was the most disappointing thing about today's update. I had been eagerly anticipating this for a long time, and then when it was leaked a few weeks ago, I was excited. But I was always wary that this might happen. I want to override my Yak with my Barrows Bobblehead. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also seems like a good place to start, its only like 6 pets in the category, they can check for bugs, gauge reaction to it, etc. If they don't work on the others it will be disappointing, but I don't particularly blame them for only releasing 6 first. Also, money, these are the most expensive pets I think (not counting the premier club pets since they come with membership in the package) R.I.P. The olde nite.

Well it can't be that hard to give them attack animations. But really though, they don't need attack animations. I only, and I think most people were in the same boat, wanted it for our Pak Yaks (which sees limited combat). They could have made it so that Legendary Pets could be overriden on aggressive familiars/combat familiars, while the other pets could have overriden BoBs/Ponies.

strilmus Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I feel like this would have gone a lot quicker if we could just implant The Measure into Kipple side note: I'm pretty sure one square occupying familiars would have a distinct advantage over the others 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
