Deep below the Barbarian Outpost a new menace twitches and pulsates with anger, preparing wave after wave of shrieking, monstrous pummeling at the barbarians' expense... or is it some kind of strange training regime? Can these creatures have been put here on purpose? What are these strange mutants and why have they been caged beneath the earth?

 

 

 

Behold the Penance! The barbarians believe these vile creatures were spawned by the mighty gods to allow the people of RuneScape to show their allegiance through combat. A gargantuan arena has been built below the Barbarian Outpost for you to prove your worth, so head to the area and talk to Captain Cain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Take up the challenge in this long-awaited minigame. As part of a team, choose which role you want to play against the deadly threat. You could be an attacker and hack your way through waves of slimy flesh, or become a defender, setting up traps and luring the monsters to a grisly death. Those of you who enjoy a fast pace of life could be a collector, sorting out the ammunition for the fierce launchers and unleashing havoc on the Penance below. The last role is that of the trusty healer - using poisonous substances against the Penance and ensuring your own team stays alive!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a team-based game, so the greatest rewards are for those willing to work together. Use barbarian horns to shout to your team and climb up to the mighty 'Horn of Glory' to let everyone hear your orders. You can choose to play with your friends and wander into one of the team rooms, or if you go to the quickstart room we will find a group of adventurers for you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Working through the waves of monsters, you can level up your ability in the roles and improve your value as a fighter against the Penance. Other great rewards are available, including many items to be won - both new and old. These include a new armour set with multiple uses, gloves of lightness and many of your favourite rewards from other areas of the game, including dragon equipment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before starting you will be treated to a training tutorial, so you'll be ready to put your best tactics into play. This is also a safe minigame, with lots of expendable equipment (such as runes and arrows) provided for free.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So how about it? Anyone can show their penance, but it takes a real hero to help a barbarian assault!

Scientific Breakthrough Announced

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ava's lab work has triumphed once more as her chicken knowledge expands. Users of the rewards from the Animal Magnetism quest will now notice that their devices now aid automatically in the recovery of fired missiles. This functionality operates for all arrow types commonly in use. Effects cannot, however, be guaranteed where obstacles lie between the wearer of the device and the fired arrows. All existing devices have had this enhancement fitted automatically; just equip your backpack, and your chicken will be ready to serve.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(In other words, the chicken will now retrieve most of the ammunition that would have otherwise dropped on the ground while you're ranging, but it can't do this if there's something in the way.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It should also be noted that stocks of convenient scavenging materials in RuneScape are rather depleted. As a result, the arrow generation function of these devices has slowed considerably. Users should not be alarmed by this change which is due to natural effects beyond Ava's control.

In other news...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The games necklace has been updated to teleport players to the Barbarian Outpost as well as the Burthorpe Games Room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Convenient right-click options have been added to the Magic Carpets and Gnome Gliders.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A bug has been fixed that was allowing players to cast Lunar spells on friends in non-multiway-combat areas of the Wilderness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now that the Christmas festivities have passed, the Gublinch cave has been sealed, the Karamjan snow has melted and Shantay Claws has sailed away to a distant land to learn more sea shanties; apparently the normal Karamjan climate doesn't suit werewolves. Players who'd rescued the childernapped childerkins (don't ask) and claimed their reward hat and tree will still have those items. Replacements may be obtained at any time from Diango in Draynor Village.

lol, my topic is exact same time posted as urs ftw.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-.-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this looks good. omg, gotta go try.

new way of getting dragon chain :shock:

kool..

had to lock posts sorry, pot luck tates this one stays open :ohnoes:

At last quicker way to access waterfall cave

Oh very good. Especially liking the added teleport for the Games Necklace. Very useful. The game looks interesting, especially to see what the rewards will be. Pity I'm at work til 4.

Free Dragon Chain anyone? :roll:

 

 

 

As long as it doesn't give Party Hats or other rares #-o

 

 

 

Sounds like fun tough.

 

 

 

But it must b total chaos in the MiniGame now :shock:

They have stated in the announcement that chains ill be very hard to come by :) It's not like this is going to be like a free Dragon chain machine.

they release mage range and melee armour only a month after 3rd age.... wonder y.

this game sucks when ur muted-.-, especially when everyones yellin at you, but the reason you not attacking is cause the collector doesn't tell u anything-.-, so then u get booted off team-.- thwen u see that team has kiled the queen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

anyways other then that its fun, great love it.

some games get ruined already.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

someone constantly leaves, stopping the game for everyone

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

that pissed me off :evil:

I don't like this minigame. I thought it would be much better. The game looks too complicated, but then again I've just started it. I think I'll get back to my WCing. :P

The games necklace has been updated to teleport players to the Barbarian Outpost as well as the Burthorpe Games Room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Which makes another Teleport spell obsolete...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The game itself is fun, although I did run into a bug. While playing the game, my interface disappeared! :wall:

The item rewards sound somewhat useful. I mean, that fighter torso thing has +4 strength, that's a first for a body armor, isn't it?

The fighter torso pownz +4 str means new max hit with whip

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Granite body ownz 2 wich mean only helm then there is full granite

The item rewards sound somewhat useful. I mean, that fighter torso thing has +4 strength, that's a first for a body armor, isn't it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes it's the first and only, though it's other bonuses are close to that of a Addy Plate.

rofl, the d chain price is gonna drop a little due to this...

Correct!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and the game isn't complicated, u contact one person only easy as pie and att or collect or heal or repair one thing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not difficult, can't wait till my friends come on...who actually have common sense.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

excited baout that high level risk thing, i wonder....abyssal whips? third age armour?ponders....

rofl, the d chain price is gonna drop, its gonna become like zammy pl8 then rune pl8 then a measly bronze pl8 :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only thing that'll drop as much as that is you, on your head, on a steel "Pl8".

how many points is 1 game??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

375 points x 5 for the new body...

 

 

 

and 1x killed the queen +95k for the granite body...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and its way too crowded there :wall:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and i think the chance of drag cain in the gamble part is 1:1000 just like fighting the kq... (you can only stock up 500 points so...)

can you die and lose stuff or not ?

when 1000's of new players get lucky and recieve a d chain, what will happen tho the price.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And yes I've dropped down the stairs once but not on a steel pl8
