25leaf Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I like a few aspects of it. The quest looks great except needs pollivanch added to the list and a subquest added for it. You might be able to get planks for cheap, but it will take much more time. So that aspect evens out. Overll grade B Still need some details and polishing but looks good.

s010910 Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 Can it Be b+? And i like the idea of a subquest. Fight for cheaper planks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25leaf Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 It was close but still a B I wouldn't even give a offical update an A+ untill they get all the kinks out and ajust the fine points of it. My reason for the added subquest in pollivan is You have one in every other portal except for that one. Seems a little left out. In garden of tranqility, you go to every allotment in the game. It should be the same for this one. Expand some of them a little bit to to make them more varied in length. P.S. excues all speeling errors.

tripsis Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Although it sounds like a very well planned, thought out idea.. I'm going to have to disagree :? I really do think that Runescape needs to hold on to a few skills that require you to spend money. Almost all the skills in Runescape are very easy now, it's good for a little variety. Besides, I'm proud having spent 120m on getting 99 :-w =; - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfhunterXZ Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 No real place to put the mini game below CW, would have to be elsewhere I think! But anyhow, AWESOME idea for a quest (of course Jagex would make it a bit more complicated or something so to make it longer) but the mini game sounds fun, I'd want the clothes for sure :P But then again, remember the hard hat would have to be METAL or WOOD because PLASTIC hasn't been invented yet in Runescape!!! But awesome idea, I like it :) You have Wolfy's support.

Wachtwoord Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 The quest and mini game are good, very good even. You really put some work in this =D> . BUT, the bad thing is the idea. "Make constructiong cheaper", it is meant to be expensive! It's one of the things jagex wants to do against the huge inflation. And because of those prices they are doing a pretty good job with that. Personally I'm quite poor for my lvl, but if you cut youre own oaks and only pay for the planking part, you can get quite some xp without paying real cash. When everything's been said and done, more has been said than done.All skills 80+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s010910 Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 Mmm.... I guess the expencive reason is a thing to combat, thats why the planks are HARD to get, not easy, so that people only play this is they cant afford planks...

s010910 Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 u cant just go making it cheaper now think of all the people who sold phats to get 99 con and think of poor me 10m off the moeny to beat fredymcgarry (only lvl 43 its the money that counts) 10mill to get to lvl 43... i spent at the most 1.5m and i got to 45 easy Fight for cheaper planks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deciever2 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I like the idea, there really hasn't been many things happening concerned with construction as far as I know. Also this would offset the cost of building a house for the poorer people in RS.

Want_a_pie Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 But then again, remember the hard hat would have to be METAL or WOOD because PLASTIC hasn't been invented yet in Runescape!!! what time period is runescape set in? I'm guessing 10th-11th century because stone castles were made round that time period. I can think of a lot of things that weren't invented or discovered in that time, but are used in it. The hard hat could be made out of some sort of magic substance :D ^ What is this?

jessica1608 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 OK. Maybe it's just me, but wasn't construction brought in just to be difficult and expensive? Nice idea though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, it would help the poorer people who are willing to spend the time. Fight for cheaper planks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Want_a_pie Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I have an idea for the Fremmenik Portal part of the quest. Maybe something about slayer??? just an idea... there are only 3 quests to get your slayer up and one of them you need 40 slayer anyway... plus there isn't much about slayer these days, nobody seems to do it. ^ What is this?

sweety6556 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 excellent idea, i agree. plus the new sawmill locations would be a bit nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luker2d2 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 im in for this but the idea of the sawmills teleporting? no... there no mage like alubury or the zamorak mage. maybe a new tele port spell to get there from your house (portal room). or could be acsessed through jewlery. (ruby neckless). and an idea for the poliveinchfirehf portal (i hope its spelt right lol). maybe there are lizards in the house. or prehaps he needs you to make him a potion for a disease he has (herbleore can come in). the mini game might also want to be based on an island and the boss takes you there on his grand ship.

Erdam Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I think after this quest, a second one comes on requirements: The first quest 25 construction 35 crafting 20 mage Start: Sawmill (Varrock) You talk about making planks cheaper to the sawmill operator, He doesnt react kindly to this and starts to get angry, then he lets slip, he can only make planks becasue a mage trainiee help him to learn the techique. You go and visit this mage and he needs help (mage comes in) In order to become a actual mage (non-trainiee) he needs something blessed for his "exam coursework", you need a fire, earth, air and water rune to bless this. You then bless it then you talk to him, he then says he need a certain space in your house, you tele to house and build new room (sawmilling room) costs 20k, you build and talk to the mage again and gives you ability to make a machine saw to make logs into planks. Here is where the crafting comes into it Normal plank:35 Oak plank:43 Teak plank:50 Maghoney plank:65 Woo free planks my dream lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supershark01 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 good idea about the planks... i know ive always had trubl wiv it myself :wall: but dont you think the minigame has been described a bit too... too blast-furnacey? [/url Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakeitormakeit Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Good idea! I could only get to lvl44 construcion b4 declaring bankrupcy! There is a downside tho, construction was made as a money drain and if you can get around the money drain then it has become nearly useless to the economy.

Erdam Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 On second thought of my quest the runes needed are: 2 airs, earth, water and fires 3 bloods 5 death 10 chaos, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want_a_pie Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 That's a good idea for the second quest, but, although I would love to have construction absoluetly free, a lot of people are with the idea of construction wasting ur money... so... i dont think that will happen thanx anyway :D ^ What is this?

Kenshinjapan Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Really great idea but probably just minimal construction xp (like WAAAAAAY less xp per token)and cost of planks to go waaaaaay up. (It sounded like 20 points would only takes like a minute and teak planks add up...)Also, needs more people per game. (servers wouldn't be able to hold so much stuff) Other than that, keep it up! :thumbsup: YOU! ATTEND TET EVENTS! CLICK HERE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
