Runescape Bits & Bytes :: View topic

Finally, we'd like to let you in on a little secret – we're currently working on our highest level, longest, most exciting quest ever. Not necessarily for launch in '08 (it's not something we want to rush, after all), it’s already had more development time than the entirety of "Recipe for Disaster"... but you’ll have to wait to find out more. We're adding secret hints and references all the time about this one, so if you need to know more, just look around! Leave no stone unturned....

That’s where our November quest will join things. Specialists and concerned dignitaries will be gathered to discuss the whereabouts of the Staff of Armadyl, an ancient and powerful artefact from RuneScape’s distant past. All they will need is a willing adventurer to conduct the more interesting parts of the...investigation. Will this link to the mysterious dragonkin symbols found recently, or the rumours of the dragon forge? While Guthix sleeps through the centuries, treachery is afoot, and terrible dangers appear on the horizon. In our first Grandmaster quest ever, with the longest, deepest storyline we have ever attempted, it will take an expert adventurer to find out.

Well...It should take more than 10 hours to be considered a hard quest. A quest that takes them months to make should be pretty decent. I think it consists of God Wars Dungeon bosses and minions, probably having to run through all bosses at the same time or something? #-o

I'd laugh if the quest was all skilling and puzzles :mrgreen:

Yeah, no puzzles please. I remember I tried the puzzle for Monkey Madness quest, and it took me over 5 hours WITHOUT getting it. I had to pay 200k ( I think ), to get it done. So I say no to puzzles!

WHADDA YA MEAN NO PUZZLES?!?

It just isn't a quest without PUZZLES! All it is is ... a trip to a tough enemy's lair and playing messenger-boy a lot. Quests need puzzles to actually be FUN, you know! Sure, they're tough, dangerous, and expensive ... but what else are you going to spend your money on? Level 99? As though that's really impressive anymore. You can do that hundreds of ways, but there is only one surefire way to complete a puzzle ...

No, puzzles are the way to go in my opinion. I'm a level-3 treasure trail hoarder, doing them purely for the puzzle-boxes.

siggie'd! and also, a new, hard quest will get rid of a lot of people quest capes, it'll be good for those people with huge ego b/c they have a quest cape, a fletch cape, and a cooking cape. I can't wait :twisted:

Is it just me or does everyone I know think puzzles in Runescape are extremely hard? They're, like Alex 43 said, FUNN!!! :mrgreen:

How good do you think it will be? How long do you think it will take? What will be the rewards? Discuss.

I think I will be ready for it by then. So far, the hardest quest for me is summer's end. The new quest requirements may be high, such as 110 combat, 80+ skills.

Mind reading the questions I ask, not being mean, but you may of missed them. I was wondering what you think of the new upcoming, quest, that they are putting all this work into.

That's not a bad thought, although I was thinking that it's a place, that we don't know about yet, and is yet to be created. I'm sure it will consist of an island or separate place, similar to Godwars, but has amazing bosses or something amazing that gives really good rewards.

They're not hard, they're "challenging" at times (depending on what time you play ) puzzleboxes are a challenge which I like, I might not complete them as fast as Haystack did, but it can take me 30mins to do one if i just 'no-brain' it. There is a systems, if you follow it, you can crack one in less than 10mins. Anyways, I LOVE hard quests, aslong as it doesn't feels like One small favour. I'm especially for the high level reward =)
