6 March 2007 - Great Brain Robbery

[atestarossa]

 

just another quest i won't and cannot do..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I understand the "won't" by why the "cannot"?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

he's 47 pray, you need 50. ^^

[arizark]

hmm not that i want it to happen but how long until you think jagex nurfs it because its almost as good as a whip but only costs 50k to reget seems like something they would nurf

[chessmastuh]

Looks interesting, may be finally worth it to get my farming to 30 (shudders) to do this quest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The anchor looks like the new way to train str, due to it's huge hits and fast attack speed, but only time will tell. Scimitars give 66 str boost in comparison to the anchor's massive 80, which is only 2 under what whips are. With an attack speed only a little slower than scim, this thing is looking promising.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, the minute it's proven that it's a lot better for str training, Jagex will undoutedly "fix" it... =\

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only time will tell.

i hope they do, because i love the looks of the d scimmy, and hate that anchor :x

In addition to the big soundbank update today, we've added 'equip sounds' to armour and weapons

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

only thing to peak my interest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and low detail's got the login music and that lil button...wow jagex i dunno lil things piss me off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In case you didn't notice, low detail has had music for 8 months now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: Anchor is better than a scimitar? SWOOT! I can finally train strenth normally!

[chenw]

the anchor is only slightly slower than the scimitar but it has superior strength bonus (80 compared to d scim 71 w/ rune def)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Considering what happened during the boss fight, i am inclined to believe that the special lowers the target's defence

[n64jive]

Woot! Jagex spent a ton of time updating the sound...something most of us could care less about!@

yea, but not login music, that [cabbage]s annoying i couldnt turn that off til today, and now... well if i have a new world loading up in the background i hear that stuff coming thru and its like all of the RS music is not as awful as that music, that is the music that made jesus cry.

[Gugge]

 

 

 

* Rusty Scimitars can't be repaired on your POH armour stand.

 

 

 

 

 

 

That makes no sense to me. The tindel merchant in Port Khazard repairs them just the same way as he does with rusty swords. I think Jagex simply missed adding the feature to fix the rusty scimitar in your workshop.

[atestarossa]

that book heals poison after quest too, i though so when i picked it up... but that means... i don't have to use anti-poisons anymore, kbd would get a little cheaper^^

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but btw, how much prayer does it drain (oh, i forgot, i still need that holy symbol)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and for those who tough you just could use that in wildy, it may be dodgy..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if your opponent got a higher prayer level than you, then the book won't work ^^

[Genome]

why not?

[gspbeetle]

ice magics and snares/entangles works well

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if you try to examine the boss, the examine will mock you...

 

 

 

its trying to mash you flat! less examine, more fight!

 

 

 

the other dude is evil, little different!

"it's going to mash you flat. Less examine, more fight!" 8-)

[blouinator]

i mite just do this quest :)

[wakka102]

Seem's neat. I need to catch up on my quests. I'm missing like the most recent 5 or 6 quests :x . I usually do them in bursts, I miss a few (unless one is really good) and then I do them all at once.

[baron8000]

This update rocked, one of the most fun quests i've done in a long time, almost got smushed horribly by the boss at level 90 and potted up to the max.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The anchor is amazing, hits nicely looks cool (imo) and makes you run like a complete and utter nonce :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This really restored my faith in Jagex, now what to spend my lamp on...

[Perakp]

Nice fun quest with a hard boss fight and with a chance of a sequel coming up.

 

 

 

The weapon imo isn't better than d scimmy, because it is slower and 2 handed. D scimmy with a rune defender in the other hand gives you better def bonuses and nearly the same att bonuses with str lacking a bit, but the fastness covers it. The new weapon is only good if you know that your enemy has lower crush defence than slash defence (full runes :P).

 

 

 

The weapon is untradeable but I went to sell all my whips just incase.. What if it gets popular..? Whip is still superior to this, but because it is un-pkable some people might want to use it over a whip. Wonder if you can go pick it up when you die with it (like fire cape or fighter torso) or is it self-destructing like barrows gloves..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The antipotion- book might be good with poisons that don't come often, but it won't help me in my kalphite tasks, I'd need to be casting the prayer all the time! #-o Don't know if it drains your prayer points :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And farmers may be interested in the new allotment farming spot on the new island. And remember that if you lose your charos ring after this quest, you need to get it back from this island, not the fenkerstrain's castle!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good update all in all, but the new musics sound weird to me :-X

[SirHartlar]

Sounds like fun, I can't wait to get around to doing it. :D

The antipoison thing will really help me for getting 99 thieving. Since after each pyramid plunder run I use 1 dose of an antipoison. This will save me tons when going to 99 :D . Can the spell be casted in combat? how long does it take to do? does it take an animation or something so you have to be out of combat? how exactly does it work...

[magekillr]

lol...i quit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

can't even smite whips anymore...

[jonno53]

oo, just got back from school... this new quest looks pretty cool, and the weapon seems to own

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i hope that itll stop some of the "OMG quests too easy" rubbish... and a 190 with no prayer sounds fun :twisted:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

also, i is loving the new music, its going back on for the first time this year :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i think ill give it about a month before i get fed up with this annoyong repetitiveness...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*EDIT* lol examine the puffins :lol:

[PhelimReagh]

I love this anchor, lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: It's fun 'cause it's new. I agree that D-Scimmy and Rune Defender could be better.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But the anchor gives me a +80 Strength bonus. 9 higher than D-Scimmy, Rune defender (+71). And it's fairly fast for a two-handed weapon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you're training against stuff with high crush defense, it's sweet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT 2: You look hilarious carrying it around, too. There are two different looks, one when you run, and one when you walk. Both funny.

[chenw]

Anchor:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

D Scim + Rune Def:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally D Long + Rune Def:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For viewing pleasures

Heh, they did a good job with this animation - it really looks as if you are hauling around a big ole heavy anchor.
