6 March 2007 - Great Brain Robbery

[jedidude77]

wow, anchor just looks fun, could u image actually picking that thing up irl?

 

 

 

anyways, probably gonna start it tonight....

[atestarossa]

this weapon, i acctually think it's better than a d scim when training strenght, at least, if you train on a monster with low defence, or better defence against slash than crush...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the weapon is fairly fast to be a 2handed weapon too ^^

 

 

 

still, whip is better than this weapon, but i can see that pking may change a little... people using dds specs, and this weapon instead of whip.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but if you loose the anchor, you can get it back right? for the same 50k?

 

 

 

because if it it, then it's very likely to be a wildy weapon, as it's cheaper than a d scim, hits harder, and that most meleers in wildy uses plates (low crush defence). against rangers and mages, then the attack bonus won't to so much, as that defence is already quite low.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

anchor ftw =)

[jessy87]

 

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

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...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i love you, you invented reasons for me to do theiving now. free poison curing, your my god.

Anchor:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

D Scim + Rune Def:

Dlong + Rune def is better then DScimmy and Rune Def :uhh:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

well.. what should i say, scimmy is faster, so it's still better, as the d long isn't that much better in stats, i think anchor could still beat d scim, as it's quite much better than the scim (not in attack though)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and btw, the anchor looks good, you run funny, and when you do, your cape blows behind you ^^

[daigotsu]

I realized earlier what the animation of running with a cape reminds me of -- the creepy King from the Burger King commercials.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Someone needs to do a vid with their yellow party hat and "royal-looking" skill cape...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

D

[Barihawk]

The running animation of the anchor literally made me cry laughing.

[PhelimReagh]

This anchor is going insane damage, consistently, against portals and PC.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anchor+Chinchompas=PC Ownage.

[blacksimon]

can someone please post running animation as gif or upload to youtube?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If it looks funny enough, i might actually do a quest for once

[atestarossa]

just saying to all that hear me! go get that anchor

 

 

 

and all seems to have forgot the new poison prayer ^^

[wakka102]

the poison thing will make pyramid plunder cheaper :)

[KingKnight1]

Aww, my prayer is only 46.. and I haven't done "Rum deal" to start "Cabin fever" to then do this one. Plus I don't think I can handle the level 190 without prayer :-k

[Me_Hate_Libs]

lol, Rufus cutscene, the cats are "Pining". Yet another Monty Python reference from Jagex. Thanks.

[atestarossa]

that little cutscene... getting out of the meat-shop

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a level 93 player, named elfenlocks walks by..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i know about a player called elfenlocks, (some numbers behind) with 93 combat (don't know her that good, but still... fun to see that smilarity)

Elfinlocks. She was part of the Wise Old Man Bank Robbery vid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I liked this quest, it was quite funny.

[Lord-kain1]

MAJOR update! i hope you kept that pray book because if your poisoned and read the book while wearing sardy symbol your CURED of poison, it costs prayer points thou ( took 5 pray points to cure the tribesmen poison)

hmm.... there too? but i can swear, i have met an elfinlocks a lot of times in w99 edge....

Has any 1 tried the cutlasses and rapier the smith sells, i did't bother. He will sell to you if you chat to him

[PhelimReagh]

I did. They're pretty junky.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: For clarification purposes, the rapier is basically the same as a Rune Scimitar, but used for stabbing (instead of slashing). That's the best one he sells.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So if you can't afford dragon weapons, it's a good stabbing option for 25K.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT 2: On second thought, outside of a halberd, the 25K rapier is the best stabbing weapon I can find... better than Dragon Dagger, although no special. Not sure what it's useful for, though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The two cutlasses are utter junk, though. Good for really low levels, I suppose.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT 3: Untradeable as well. I guess that's good, you can take it PKing against Rangers since it's a good stabbing weapon, and they can't pick it up :D

Kinda figured that

Is there a quest guide out yet?

[jonno53]

Is there a quest guide out yet?

 

 

 

i hope that you dont intend on using a guide for this quest, its easy enough... just remember to bring ALOT of nails everywhere

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

anyways...

 

 

 

 

 

 

lolz this quest is one of the most entertaining ive seen in a long long time :XD: loving the face in my piccy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hats off to jagex and whoever created this quest - pining lol :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*EDIT* hmm, i dont think the piccy attach thingy works that well, back to good old tinypic...

[Ltje]

Really low levels with 50+ prayer who can defeat a level 190 without prayer? :-k

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lol. Anyway it is an awesome quest already with an exceptional good reward. I'm not complaining. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wonder though. When will this get nerfed, and when will we get the first rant from a ranger or mage: "z0mg, mel33 gets all teh updat3s, and we get noting :("
