Behind the scenes - December


chenw

Recommended Posts

This month, we will kick straight off with a new batch of treasure trails, featuring new challenges based on emotes and items to get you to that crucial next part of the trail. High level trails will now require even more thought, but this batch also comes with a huge new set of more than 100 rewards, featuring composite bows, high level prayer gear and new high quality versions of old favourites, such as glory amulets. We're also releasing heraldic helms to go with your armour and some really rather glorious looking posh and emote-improving gear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All this, and we havenÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t even mentioned the utterly unmentionable Third Age items! Items even more difficult to obtain than a Champions Scroll from a pesky imp! Items more sparkling than a wizard's lucky bead! Items so... ahem. Well, we'll let you find that out for yourself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reldo and his Knowledge Base team will also be releasing more of the popular area guides to places like Tirannwn, Gu'Tanoth, Morytania, the Kharidian Desert and Ape Atoll, as well as updating some of the older quests to use the Quest Help system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Speaking of quests, this month's adventure will be an archetypal damsel in distress quest. Sort of. Well, it's got a damsel in it, and she's in a spot of troubleÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ as anyone would be if they had taken up residence inside Draynor Manor. Will you stop by later this month to assist her with a rather poultry matter? Those that do are bound to find a use for her and her rather odd interpretation of Animal Magnetism.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We will also release a festive edition of the gallery, featuring some of your Christmassy submissions (keep sending them in), plus a few rather special comics. Naturally, Postie Pete's been especially busy preparing for the Christmas rush, but he tells us that he'll still be preparing another batch of letters for your yuletide enjoyment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ogres have been petitioning Bandos for a while for a new look fortress, and this December they will get it! He has agreed to give the city of Gu'Tanoth a lick of paint and a spot of spring cleaning, so keep your eyes peeled for a general area improvement of this mysterious, yet rather thuggish place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And finally, the Christmas Update! This year, the little known Shanty Claws (the Sailor Werewolf) has heard terrible stories about evil activities underneath Karamja Volcano. Apparently children are going missing in the area, and for some strange reason, snow is predicted for the first time on this tropical island! What is really going on here? Are the TzHaar to blame, or is something more sinister up to some rather goblinny tricks? Members and non-members alike are welcome to join and earn a new seasonal object, and members will receive an additional treat for their player-owned houses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We hope that your holiday breaks bring you happiness and celebrations, wherever you are!

Third Age items? The new Dragon items it seems to me, perhaps lv 80 requirements?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also.. If they are updating the Treasure Trail's, are they going to update the error in the TT? I cant get some of the items for my treasure chest in my house because of it :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All in all though, sounds like a fun month

Hhmm, 'improved glory amulet' perhaps that will lower the prices of fury amulets?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe, but it could very well be a revamped version of glory (just the looks, not the stats). much like Enchanted Robes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But then again, it could be better version of it. Time to kill a bazillion blue dragons for clues. ^_^;

Bleh what a yucky month.

 

 

 

Never do treasure trails and won't start now.

 

 

 

Sounds like a good month to skill.

 

 

 

Hope the 2 quests are better than they sound.

I just hope some of those 100 new items are F2p like the recent (g) items we got. Maybe they'll finally release Black Wizard (g) and (t) Robes! :D

This is very interesting, I hope the TT items are very good and not underthought. That is alot of items there so it will mess with our minds with how good they are.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Never heard about these third age items but if they are from imps then I have no clue what to think.

A reflection is just a distorted reality held by glass and your mind.

doesnt mean u wont buy/use those items. i mean if they designed a new treasure trail bow even better then the MSB you could buy it, i mean i know i have an obssesion with collecting all the weapons with a special attack and this 1 might..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PLEASE GOD LET THESE THIRD AGE WEAPONS HAVE LVL 80 REQUIREMENTS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok I'm done.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

lets hope they are reasonable and dont break.
