Umega Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Jagex usually releases minigames that aren't all that good, but when they do release the good ones, they can be very good. I've made a list of all the minigames I could think of and wrote in my opinion why some are good, why some are bad and why some are just fruitless. Agility Pyramid Avoid obstacles while climbing the pyramid and reap the rewards awaiting you at the top. It's in the middle of the desert, slightly difficult to access. And only 1k reward (via the gold pyramid relic) which any good player can make quickly. Barrows Loot the graves, however be wary of the dead... Obviously a successful minigame. Many high level players see it as a good way to make money. Pretty good rewards even if you don't the barrows items (tons of runes). Blast Furnace Work as a team to keep the furnace going and gain experience whilst doing so. This needs a team and not easily accessed. It would be a lot better if there was no half coal usage at all (you still need 4 coals to make a rune bar). This would be a lot successful if it was located in an active area, say Falador, so that all those wandering noobs coming into Falador will try out the blast furnace jobs for fun. EDIT: Apparently you can actualy solo the blast furnace so maybe this isn't such a bad minigame after all. Brimhaven Agility Arena Have fun whilst training your agility in this ancient underground agility arena. It is one of the best ways to train agility, which makes this a good minigame. Castle Wars Will your team be victorious in this combat-based team game? All out war with lots of players, who doesn't like that!? Plus you get adequate armour as rewards with the tickets you accumilate while playing. Although it has the trouble of low level players trying to get a piece of the action. Another successful minigame. Champion's Challenge Various creatures around RuneScape have chosen Champions to fight for them in an arena beneath the ChampionsÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ Guild. Although it's very rare to get a challenge scroll, anyone would give it a go once they get one (I haven't yet). :( The Fishing Trawler Can you and your friends help Murphy? If you can he will give you a share of the catch. One of the first minigames and yet still good. You get fish as rewards (if successful) and help out and play with your friends. Games Room Visit the Prince of Burthorpes games room and challenge a fellow player to a friendly game. Absolutley the most pointless minigame in RuneScape. No rewards (other than a score), play just for fun. Players don't play minigames if it does nothing to benefit thier character. Gnome Ball A favourite game of the Gnomes. Join in and you may win a gnome ball! Fun, but with a hint of boredom. It is fun if your playing with another player. The only reward is a gnome ball which you can take with you everywhere. Mage Arena Prove yourself worthy in the Mage Arena and Kolodion, the master of battle magic, may teach you some powerful spells. Since the popularity of the Ancient magicks, the God spells are becoming less poplular. This is only for a feeling of accomplishment now. Mage Training Arena Gain magic experience through four mini-games as well as earn points to trade for items in the Magic Training Arena shop. The shop where you trade in with your Pizzaz points have very good items albeit quite hard to obtain. Pest Control Can you protect the Void Knight whilst fighting back hoards of creatures? Another successful minigame with lots of players joining in. Only good xp rewards is available so far... Like Castle Wars has trouble with low levels. Ranging Mini Game Score points and receive reward tickets which can be exchanged for useful ranging items in this simple mini game. Not that good, fun if your bored. EDIT: Apparently good range exp while doing the minigame, plus no hp exp. Rat Pits Kittens, cats, rats and bets! There's money to be made or lost here. It's like dueling and staking at the Fight Arena, but you have to complete a quest, raise a cat (which is hard IMO) and having to trust your cat's skills and not your own to win. Therefore people avoid it. Rogues' Den Find your way to the centre of this epic maze to claim your reward. A moderate xp reward and if your lucky at the end some nice lightwieght rogue armour to show off your success. Rogue Trader Help Ali Morrisane unlock his magic chests in order to receive discounted runes. The reward isn't that good, a few clothes, and some runes that you still have to buy. It's a waste of time actualy. Would be a lot better if you could do the sudoku puzzle and get FREE runes instead. Shades of Mort'ton Earn Prayer and Firemaking experience whilst cremating the Shades of Mort'ton. Difficult to access and do, but the rewards inside the chests are fairly good. Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup Help the locals clean up their village, you may find out what lurks in the surrounding jungle... This minigame can get quite boring with all that hacking and slashing, and the rewards aren't all that great either. Tears Of Guthix Raise the experience in your weakest skill by simply catching the good tears. Complete a quick and easy quest to gain exp for your lowest skill. The reward is very good if your weak skill is between 1-50 levels. Temple Trekking Can you defend a villager through the perils of Morytania? IMO the rewards aren't that great and those exp books are uncommon. Not worth the trouble to do it. Treasure Trails Have you found a clue scroll? Follow the trail and you will be led closer to your reward... This is of course a VERY good minigame. If your very lucky and have some patience, you'll be rewarded with a good treasure trail item. TzHaar Fight Cave Do you have what it takes to last to the very end? The most hardest of all minigames, also holds the best reward: The Fire cape. Only for the Elites of RuneScape. TzHaar Fight Pit Are you tough enough to be the last man standing in this fast paced multi-player game? Slightly fun, but the tokkul reward is bad. Fight Arena There are many areas in RuneScape where players can fight each other. One of the places where players can face each other in combat is the Duel Arena North-East of Al Kharid. This may be for an agreed stake, or just for fun. Very popular to players that like to stake for money/items and fight face-to-face with other players. ----------- Please feel free to say anything about them, like if you actualy like the bad ones that mentioned. Tell me if there are anymore minigames. Mods please move to another forum if this is in the wrong place (not many people visit the Suggestions and Disscussions forum).

IceBlackIce Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 shades are no longer hard to access from the new city..., i think you forgot the ghost robes miniquest,and not sure if you can count as a minigame (because it has the luck factor as well as shades) the zogre bones picking. *** [ END ]: You gained 1,671,000 thieving exp in 9mins 44secs. That's 10,300,684 exp/h.Dragon Drops - 1 Skirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordendravid Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 The most hardest of all minigames, also holds the best reward: The Lava cape. Only for the Elites of RuneScape It's a fire cape :wink: Reasonably accurate assessment of the popularity of the mini-games, although you might find it surprising the number of people who do play games in the Burthorpe Games room - I guess it's kind of like a break from the Runescape Reality, which people are using as a break from Real Life Reality :?: Or maybe they just like playing games whilst wearing dragon items :?

Umega Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 The most hardest of all minigames, also holds the best reward: The Lava cape.

Uula Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 The most hardest of all minigames, also holds the best reward: The Lava cape.

jekyll101 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I actually like the Blast furnace. You don't need a team to run it at all. I can quite easily move from job to job and do it all myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malo2 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 i agree with all of them exept the ranging minigame, its best xp untill lvl 50-60 Lastfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogfever Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I believe the range mini-game is also useful for training range pures (no hp xp) I heard that brimhaven agility dungeon xp rates sucked, is this wrong (I have to train it eventually even if it is a mindless clickfest)? df Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captianant Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 brim dungeon exp is actually pretty good, you can exchange tickets for even more exp after the game is completed Sodb ForumStop thinking. It's Runescape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supermario77 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Agility Arena is one of the worst ways to train Agility. Wilderness, Werewolf, and Ape Atoll are all better. Temple Trekking is one of the easiest ways to get rich if you have high combat, you can get 666 Rune Essence, 140 Silver Bars, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shade_bandyt Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 i love the tai bwo wannai minigame for the snake skins and broodoo masks, gems and, with the imminent approach of carpentry, it will be one of the only 2 known sources of teak and mahogany logs, which will make it very popular soon i think youre underestimating the blast furnace. its actually a very good and profitable minigame, and you can run it without a team. other than that, i agree more or less with the analysis of the other minigames. good thread Are you a member with a full bank and cancelling your subscription?

Sharane Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Agility Pyramid: According to calculators, this is the BEST exp giver of all the courses, as well as rewarding you in the end. Blast Furnace: Take out the coal discount from it? Are you crazy? That's the best thing and place to ever happen to a smith like me! Mage Arena: Don't underestimate the God spells. A level 80 mage with charge on can constantly hit several 30s and "debuff" an opponent depending on the spell used. Besides, you also don't sacrifice the second-most important PvP spells: Snares (Ask any class who has them in WoW and check if they're underpowered). "300 programmers make their futile but glorious last stand against 1000000 angry players in The battle of Misthalin.

Umega Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Agility Pyramid: According to calculators, this is the BEST exp giver of all the courses, as well as rewarding you in the end. And probably the slowest. The 2 things I didn't know so far: I didn't know you could earn xp while doing the ranging minigame. I didn't know you could do the Blast furnace without a team.

bubbels Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 agility arena is funny if youre 35-45 in agility, and pretty good xp for that lvl. its easy to reach using magic carpet ride ranging guilds minigame is good xp, and gives no hp lvls so you can reach amazing ranging lvl with no hp incrasing at all!

aussy4321 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Barrows Obviously a successful minigame. Many high level players see it as a good way to make money. Pretty good rewards even if you don't the barrows items (tons of runes). This is my new home and makes me very good money, example: i spend 1mil on pots and 1k lobs, i end up with 2.4mil worth of runes, 700 lobs and a load of verac,guthan and kharil w00t TzHaar Fight Pit Are you tough enough to be the last man standing in this fast paced multi-player game? Very wrong, very wrong indeed! level 90+ combat, full veracs and/or guthans, 20 lobsters/sharks and you can make 10k+ tokull in 20-30 minutes. (more people, more reward) either way Good points Umega! Slightly fun, but the tokkul reward is bad. [/qoute] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
