Update [1-6-15] Tuska World Event

[Leik]

is there a location that says who has won each day? the videos have indicated yes, but I cant find it. 

 

~~~legoman187~~~

It's in the community tab, aka that friends button thing on the ribbon. There's a tab there called World Event.

I was using scythe and still getting 1:35 kills but it would been fun to be even more OP lol. ... Btw where TF are my 2H buffs?  <_< I'd hoped and expected them to come out today... -.-

 

2h is still going to be garbage, js.

 

I think attuned hally and scythe after getting hally range will be good in a fair few places  -_-

 

Also

Zamorak-senpai would be proud  |^_^|

Awaiting ascension :D

[strilmus]

It's great how we lost the first round because Jagex is like "okay yeah let's start on a half day that'll be fair"

[Blutters]

It's great how the godless have already won because if you don't pick a side your contribution goes towards godless?

You shouldn't be able to participate without joining a faction. Are the people that haven't joined a faction but are contributing/capping that absent-minded, or that complacent? :|

[Arceus]

You can't go up and do the hourly event without first choosing a faction. I'm unsure how or if skilling or parasite killing factor into the great contribution equation, but I suppose they could be dumped into Godless, if that's what you mean?

Going from shit to good still doesn't make it any less of a niche weapon than it already is. I also really doubt that they will add extra range to a weapon like the noxious scythe.

reddit quote but w/e

 

Can someone please explain how to make a group with this? I got as far as forming a group. Then I jumped into the thing thinking it would teleport everyone in the group.

That's not how it works. I got sent in solo, while my other friends were grouped together. And then I ragequit, because this only seems tolerable in a group. So, how does it work?

[Sy_Accursed]

Make group, talk to astromancer

[strilmus]

btw, if you were trying the creepy doll on the astromancer earlier when we weren't in space, now would probably be a good time to try it again

[Sorator]

110% and 15 cd when used on a normal target (non-slayer etc)

 

And deal [slayer leve] x100 when used on-task, I'm told.

 

From my own fiddling and talking with others in node find: The best way to max fragments seems to be non-sparkly agility posts. Either the cap is time-based and sparkly posts have a lower frag chance, or the cap is xp based and each tick has the same frag chance - either way, nonsparkly agil is the way to go to max frags per day. You can get 600-800 points from frags this way in about two rounds of skilling. (Most I've actually seen reported is 163 frags for 815pts; frag totals in the 150s are fairly common.) Skill total doesn't seem to have anything to do with frag chances or frag capping, despite some rumors. Jmods have said that frag chance and capping is the same regardless of what you're doing, but that doesn't seem to actually be the case.

 

The rest of the islands are decently explained through the in-game help (? on the top right of the minigame bar interface thingy, explains the island you're on), but there are some tricks that aren't explained so well:

 

• Holy island: burning the tentacles is the best and easiest method, but if everyone in your group is doing it, you may be better off doing souls. For souls, grab your relic, hop in the grave, find and claim the orange lost soul, then click a tormented soul near the exit point (over by the holy fire), kill the tormented soul (luring it towards the exit if you're using range or mage), exit to claim the tormented soul, then turn in the lost soul charge on your way back to the graves. You can cap the island with just souls this way, though it's a bit close.

   

   

   

• Seed/flower island: Each flower only gives one seed, and turning in the seeds is the vast majority of your scoring for that island. Roots can grow into a square being blocked by a vine or tentacle; you may need to remove the blocking thing before continuing to nurture it though (haven't tried right-clicking, so I'm not certain if you have to). The team should focus on one or two roots at a time, not split among all three.

   

   

   

• Agility course island, you teleport to wherever the blinking arrow is at the moment you press the button - the arrow stays put while the person with the gatestone is traversing an obstacle, so if you port to them during that you'll be at the start of the obstacle, not midway through or at the end of it. This is handy if you need to get to the island they're leaving; not so much if you want to get to the island they're going to.

   

   

   

• Lightning island: General priority should be luring > traps > building pylons > combat. To lure, you should run to the other side of the center energy ball, not run up next to it. Any number of people can trap the same lightning spot and everyone gets the same credit for it. Lightning killed in combat will charge those fighting it, and lured sentient lightning will charge players near the center energy ball; a blue bar shows above your head, along with some instructional text. When this happens, go click the center energy ball to turn in your charge. Once capped for the island, focus on building pylons (and traps, if you want the hunter xp); leave the actual luring for those who haven't yet capped.

   

   

   

• In general: Meteors are pretty much the best thing to do on any island (flower island meteors give lots of herbs; the others give straight points). Multiple people in combat with the same enemy can all get the full reward when the enemy dies, though there may be a cap to the number of people or a minimum damage threshold on this.

   

   

   

• You can't get more than 25% per island completed, including your current one... but if you get, say, 15% on the first island, you can get 35% on the next before getting the "you can't get any more on this island" message. So falling behind on one island doesn't mean you can't get 100% for that run.

 

 

Harbinger title is at 5x 100% spear hits. You can also get the WE1 titles from skilling between rounds or when completing a round.

 

I'm told you only have two minutes to do the actual spear hit, once you reach Tuska's head; apparently if you don't, you burst into flame and get sent back down. I don't know how that affects your points.

 

There's a bug that sometimes you'll only get 999 points instead of 1000 at the end of a run; you can't make up that last point in a subsequent run. Hopefully they'll do a bugfix and round everyone's points up to the nearest increment of 5.

[Sy_Accursed]

^ Better wording would be the progress cap rises by 25% per island, rather than you can't get more than 25% since, quite clearly, you can on islands 2-4.

 

Ie

Island 1 you can only reach 25% progress

Island 2 you can reach 50%

Island 3 75%

Island 4 100%

 

 

Tuska head time limit is not true, I stood there messing around with emotes for a good 5 minutes before stabbing.

It's great how the godless have already won because if you don't pick a side your contribution goes towards godless?

You shouldn't be able to participate without joining a faction. Are the people that haven't joined a faction but are contributing/capping that absent-minded, or that complacent? :|

Everyone who doesn't follow Zamorak, Saradomin or Armadyl will pick the Godless faction to stop either of those three from gaining power so the Godless will win every time. Pretty disappointing really.

[strilmus]

now, say, teleporting off of tuska's head to activate the flying glitch, that'll probably [bleep] up your point reward

 

realistically, if you thought it'd be "fair" without the godless, it would have gone towards arma again so who even cares

 

frankly, the godless need at least one actual conflict to be in so that they aren't a complete wash as a faction, even bandos had some dignity dying

[Hajutze]

It'd be fun if Bandos was still around ... and made Tuska his war-steed (IF ofcourse he could defeat her)

[Sy_Accursed]

I don't see the issue with the Godless winning just because you don't like them or they aren't a specific deity.

 

People have a choice of the 4 sides and must pick one. People are picking godless cause they like rago or dislike the other gods involved.

 

if you took Godless out and put Zaros in his place and then Zaros was winning would you still whine that sara/arma/zam aren't getting support?

Is picking the godless side some how less valid than picking a god?

 

I mean sure you can say everyone who doesn't follow arma, zam and sara will go godless

But you can also say everyone who doesn't follow arma zam or godless will go sara

Everyone who doesn't follow arma sara or godless will go zam

Everyone who doesn't follow godless zamr or sara will go arma.

Its the exact same thing whatever way you cast it.

 

It's not like the Godless are winning just because they are there - Godless where an option for face punch bonanza and they didn't exactly win there did they? - Godless are winning because more people are picking them as their preferred option.

[Vann]

Maybe just a coincidence, but the millinial generation is the least believing in history so that could explain why so many are choosing Godless. More people are Agnostic or Athiest now than ever (myself included), so maybe it's a subconscious decision to choose Godless in the world event because of this.

 

Or maybe they see everyone else being Godless and just want to be a part of the winning faction.

 

No one will ever know.

[Hajutze]

Personally I chose godless because view myself Guthixian ingame and they are the closest to that ...

[Alg]

frankly, the godless need at least one actual conflict to be in so that they aren't a complete wash as a faction, even bandos had some dignity dying

It'd actually be really cool if they won here and used the power to become an active participant in the wars. Maybe that will give them some much-needed development, because right now they have so much potential and they've only used it to be smug. I mean, they're only loosely organized, that's literally perfect for personal grudges and disagreements to propel them headfirst into the conflict, and getting the power to see their goals through doesn't necessarily mean everyone will agree on how it's done.

I sided with the Godless because Vorago is on that side.

 

And Vorago is the living embodiment of the planet. He has more to lose and win than anyone else. Plus I want wands

:-)

[Youmu]

I chose to be godless because it more or less means you choose not to side with anyone and remain fully neutral. You're basically Switzerland.

 

It does kinda reflect who I am tbh...

Same here basically.

[Blutters]

It'd actually be really cool if after a certain time in the event Tuska's energy was weakened enough to let the respective gods/Vorago attack directly in some form.

How strong exactly is Tuska supposed to be? Upper T4? Just by virtue of her mass she seems to be higher than the other gods...

 

Also, where are her other followers? The elephants, etc lol

[Sy_Accursed]

I give Blutters an A* in talking to the npcs.

 

Literally one of the first questions you can ask is why are the gods themselves not here and the answer is Tuska's Anima Mundi protects her much like Guthix's Edicts did for Gielinor and once she is weakened enough the gods will be able to come finish her off.

[Wkw]

Looking at the rewards shop.. are you able to buy duplicate warpriest items?

[strilmus]

I'm mostly interested in seeing a cutscene of Vorago leaping off of the planet and jumpkicking Tuska in the face
