Idarodo Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Welcome to the February BTS article. Starting this month, we will bring you the islands of Jatizso & Neitiznot, ruled over by two brothers and a rather unpleasant Troll King. Now, normally, youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢d expect two strong and noble Fremennik clans to unite together and defeat the yak-eating, bone crunching trolls, but the years of petty name calling and abuse have meant both brothers fear each other more than the creatures that rule the linking islands between them. Settling such a dispute wonÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t be easy, especially as you will have to work with both of them eventually. YouÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll be chopping up new arctic pines, fashioning bridges, collecting taxes, creating new armours, donning disguises to spy on important meetings and eventually find a way to test the might of the ice trolls. While attempting all of that, youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll also be helping out the villagers as you try to equip them for the coming troubles... AND keeping the two clans away from each other. You might even get to try a spot of grudge-fixing on the way round these Fremennik Isles. Elsewhere, Osman has been miserably staring into his empty glass of sqÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢irk juice. For years he was able to deal directly with the sorceress to provide his favourite tipple, before their disagreement over prices. Since then, Osman has tried desperately to find out how she grows them, but the secret is so well kept that not even Al Kharid's spymaster can find it. Osman will soon be forced into adopting a more devious approach; and for that he will need your help. Once you work out how to get into the concealed garden, it will be up to you to watch the patrolling guards and sneak past for the fruity rewards. Different seasons will affect each of the gardens, and youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll find that more experienced thieves will have access to the more bountiful sqÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢irk trees. You will also be able to grab handfuls of herbs on the way - if youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re not interested in supplying Osman with his favourite thirst-quenching treat. The seers have been nervous recently following the discovery of some rather disturbing predictions in PhantuwtiÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s proverbial tea leaves. Apparently, deep in the darkness, something, or several somethings, are beginning to move. Great powers are once again beginning to shift... but towards what? This admittedly doesn't make much sense, but the seers, as usual, are merely cryptic messengers and very unlikely to be much more help. If these predictions are as ominous as they sound, though, it will be worth keeping your eyes peeled for the unusual over the coming weeks and months. The second quest of the month will focus on a newly built tower south of Ardougne... well, almost newly built. You see, the crew hired to build the place have been struggling to come to terms with some really rather odd occurrences and missing tools - either that or the constructors' union has just decided to call a particularly long tea break. The mages due to live in the tower are growing impatient as they have pressing research regarding the true nature of magic and logic ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ and all the arguments that exist in-between. No doubt youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll find yourself wrapped up in such an experiment, especially if itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s so big it requires an entire tower to be built. Exciting new puzzles, new outfits and a rather novel training dungeon await... The Knowledge Base will also be contributing with a slightly more eclectic batch of additions this month. YouÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll see all of the normal Postbag from the Hedge, PlayersÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ Gallery and new Area Guides to support the month's updates, but several of our existing articles are also being updated to contain even more useful information and advice. Check it out regularly to see all of the interesting additions; youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re bound to find something useful. Enjoy! Either someone here is slow or I am fast. :-k Anyway, this month seems pretty much filled with quests and mini-games (?). Not bad, but not special. 6,521th to 99 woodcutting | Fletching 98/99 | Idarodo | Combat 90 | Total 1565+ | 38m+ total exp Retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perakp Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Looks like a nice month; 2 quests, 1 minigamish thing? + seers thingy. But they aren't too specific with anything :-k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freesia Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 A quest month? Looks boring :( Apparently, deep in the darkness, something, or several somethings, are beginning to move. Great powers are once again beginning to shift... but towards what?I sense a new runecrafting altar :uhh: Strangely with WotLK so near, I wished I could delay it a bit to push through that last TBC content in MH/BT :'(.

Marco Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 YouÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll be chopping up new arctic pines, fashioning bridges, collecting taxes, creating new armours, donning disguises to spy on important meetings... Sounds fun : And this fruit seasons thing sound like it'll look pretty nice to look at, at least.. :-w Different seasons will affect each of the gardens, and youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll find that more experienced thieves will have access to the more bountiful sqÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢irk trees.

12pure34 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Sounds like a construction minigame perhaps. Probaly the new mage dungeon of the second quest will be rubish, but I like the sound of the first quest! I think I will do that and call it the first quest I did right when it came out. :P Or at least.. well.. Go jagex Go jagex! Good month :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharockslayer Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Im seriously hoping this first quest is going to be a reall pain :D Hard quests are the best : Interrested in joining the cabbagy madness?

Mayjest Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Maybe I'm just easily exitable, but I like this. First quest seems interesting. Probably not difficult stats wise, but difficult mentally... maybe. The bit with Osman looks good. Theiving/agility (possibly) dungeon, with herb rewards? Like it. The Mages tower looks cool. A quest/miniquest with possible construction exp as a reward, with who knows what to train after. I like it. And the Seers thing... I have no idea. Someone mentioned Runecrafting, it's possible, but as we've already got Death, what other 'ominour rune' is there? Could be something to do with Hazeel or Iban... they're fairly near Seers Village. Goals to get my skills back up to a barely respectable level on the high scores: Currently going for Bone to Peaches spell. It's amazing how boring doing the same repetitive task is!

Peronix Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 The first quest sounds like it has a lot of running around and taking items from point A to B, talking to x NPC then moving onto the next part. Great, we sure love those don't we? :roll: I just hope the reward is worthwhile, like mabye somthing to improve output in MTK, or mabye some new resources (mabye a MTK rune essence mine :pray:). If the blood alter really is coming this month... I'm one of the 4200ish people ready for it; I have 77. (there are more 85 slayer than that). I doubt with that few blood crafters prices will drop that fast; so I'll be having a heyday making as much money as I can from it (if indeed it comes). I predict that after inflation of bloods they will drop to around 400-450. Which is still better than nats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordendravid Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Oh...nothing remotely F2p there, oh well :/ I'm not sure why people are continually surprised by this! Updates to F2P whilst they do occur are usually rare and are generally limited to the graphical updates applied to both P2P and F2P. Security Stronghold being one of the few exceptions to this rule. Back on topic, this month's behind the scenes is interestingly vague! It leaves quite a lot open to the imagination, so hopefully a view surprises in store for us this month!

Artemis_42 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 This month seems pretty vauge and oddly cryptic. It seems as if we're getting two quests, a minigame and some knowlage base updates. I'm not sure what to make of the whole seers thing. I'm holding out hope that this is foreshadowing for MEp3. We've been waiting for it for well over a year now.

Jake_Corsair Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Personally, I'm loking forward to it. It may not be filled with awesome updates that will make the whip no better than a bronze dagger. But it sounds fun. The Osman bit, sounds a bit like the "rat pits" quest, where you had to sneak past the guards. That was extremely frustrating, but enjoyed every minute of it. A new wizards tower with a "novel new training dungeon" sounds good, anything to spice up a little mage (I hope) training. If Jagex ever made a perfect update, there would be players complaining about nothing to complain about.[hide=My Stats][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenValerie Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 seems like a month packed with agility Agility ~~ eek! blood/soul rune, maybe life rune?(life rune was designed for RSC, was never released.) Because you said that you have me working on my Runecraft level. : OT: I am not sure what to make of any of this its so vague, I like quests so happy to see more quests added in game.
