Do your dungeoneering now.

2012-11-21T18:25:00.002+00:00

Doing solo dungeons on complexity six in the icy floors allows me to rampage through the dungeon, killing monsters with one or two hits with promethium two handed sword. Previous to EOC, monsters took longer to kill. Although most monsters (with ice trolls being the exception, at over 1,000 XP) only grant about 50-100 XP, they add to higher amounts of dungeoneering XP in the same time as before EOC.

A 5:5 occult large floor 45 did not offer as many easy monsters, but combat XP was only awarded to the player who received the kill. This renders multiplayer dungeons worse for combat XP post-EOC but they are completed faster and grant larger amounts of dungeoneering experience as players can do kabde (kill all but dead end) a lot faster than before.

Botany Bay released to RuneScape

2012-09-26T15:46:00.001+01:00

RuneScape has released Botany Bay to the game. Botany Bay, of all the updates for September, was the most hyped up update by Jagex. Hence, the odds of it falling short of the hype like Mobilising armies, clan citadels, charm sprite hunting, and Giant Chinchompas.

Anyhow, I will have more info shortly, but I have a F2P quest I have to first provide coverage for.

RuneScape challenge system a wealth of free experience

2012-09-26T04:04:00.001+01:00

RuneScape has introduced the challenge system. Daily challenges provide free experience through multiple ways. RuneScape players can have up to five challenges "stored" before the oldest one expires. Although a daily challenge says "X days left," it can be held for weeks or months provided that newer challenges are done consistently so it doesn't get bumped off.

RuneScape players can complete many challenges just through simple routine tasks; be it killing bosses, slaying, dungeoneering, or skilling. Some tasks are simple; farm tasks require planting a random herb seed. Summoning tasks require taking a load to the obelisk. These tasks can be done swiftly to prevent tasks eing bumped.

When the task is complete, speak to the imperial guard for the bonus experience reward. Experience varies, from about 2k to 60k; some players report over 150k xp but that is rare. RuneScape players also get a crack at the squeal of fortune. This often rewards the RuneScape player with a lamp or a skill pendant.

Let's look at the rewards for deadliest catch. Deadliest catch is possibly the most rewarding quest of 2011, definitely the most rewarding in proportion as ritual of the mahjarrat and branches of darkmeyer were way harder.

See the Deadliest Catch quest rewards page for a full list of the rewards.

RuneScape Deadliest Catch quest guide

2012-04-21T03:44:00.000+01:00

Deadliest Catch quest is perhaps one of the biggest steals in the game. The June 2012 release is of moderate duration and its primary difficulty consists in its prerequisite levels needed.

RuneScape players can visit the Deadliest Catch quest main page and follow the links to the appropriate quest guide pages to do this quest. Players are rewarded by dismissing "the Guns' from lifting that log.

In all seriousness there are a lot more rewards than that.

See the Fellstalk, morchella, and prayer renewal overview article and its attached slideshow for a summary of this update, complete with an error in the old knowledgebase on the day of release.
