4 July 2006 - Security and free-to-play update - the Strongh

[Taito2004]

Why not learn how to keep your account secure whilst having fun in game? Now all of our players can, be they members or free players, level 3 to 126. When the Barbarians moved their mining operations to the centre of the village, little did they know that they would unearth the strangest dungeon yet encountered in RuneScape. Haunted by lost spirits which seem to have taken over the doors and infested with beasts never seen before, it makes an adventure and a half simply getting through each of the four levels.

 

 

 

The doors in the area will ask you questions about account security, and the best ways to make your account safe, such as using recovery questions. Take your time to think about the questions they ask and the answers available, and youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll get through the dungeon in no time at all. Remember their advice, and you can learn a thing or two on the way. After all, secure accounts are the best kind of accounts!

 

 

 

You can find out more about it by picking up a book in your local general store and investigating the first part of the dungeon thoroughly. As well as some new creatures and talking doors you might also pick yourself up a reward or two! Plunder the treasures of the Stronghold of Security to find new boots, a new sceptre, 4 new emotes and a whole heap of golden shiny things. Be aware that like any other dungeon with monsters, if you die you WILL lose your equipment, so come prepared for combat.

Rewards:

 

 

 

Skull Sceptre

 

Skull Sceptres are staves containing the power of a teleport spell that will return you to the Barbarian Village 5 times. You can construct a Skull Sceptre by collecting the parts from monster drops.

 

 

 

The Gift of Peace

 

The Vault of War is a violent place, but War respects a warrior and is willing to offer a gift to those strong enough. For fighting your way through the Vault of War you will be rewarded with this chest, containing coins and a new emote for you to use.

 

 

 

The Grain of Plenty

 

Though the Catacomb of Famine is an arid place there is food there, albeit locked off from the Catacomb's inhabitants. The Grain of Plenty is the reward for making it through the starved corridors of the Catacomb of Famine. It contains coins and a new emote.

 

 

 

The Box of Health

 

The Pit of Pestilence is a decidedly unhealthy place to spend too long in, so it is only right that the Box of Health should wait for those who manage to make it to the central chamber. The Box of Health not only contains coins and an emote, but will also restore all of your stats.

 

 

 

The Cradle of Life

 

The Gift of Life waits for only those adventurers strong enough and bold enough to defeat the Sepulchre of Death. You must have your recovery questions set to receive your prize. Within the Cradle are two pairs of boots, but you may only take one. If you change your mind and decide you'd like the other pair better, return to the Cradle to swap them.

 

 

 

Fancy Boots

 

These boots are one of the pairs you may choose from the Cradle of Life, and a delightfully decorative pair they are. They come with a number of bonuses and will make a fine addition to anyone's wardrobe.

 

 

 

Fighting Boots

 

For those among you who desire boots that look as brutal as possible. These horn-tipped warriors' boots not only tell your enemies that you're equipped to deal with them, but look quite spiffing with most types of armour.

One the questions is like

 

 

 

"Where can you get cheats to runescape?"

 

 

 

"Website"

 

"Search"

 

"You can't"

 

 

 

Everyone at the end chest got a laugh out of me saying;

 

 

 

"Where can you get cheats to runescape - the varrock cheat shop"

 

 

 

The boots are neat looking, everyone will be wearing them soon so they won't be that cool. It was a little fun update. Forced me to set my recovery questions to get the boots and last emote.

[silver24-7]

skeles dropped me nothing so far and ghosts dropped lots of junk :P

 

 

 

EDIT: minotaurs drop the right half.
