6th December 2004 - Monkey Madness & Various Small Chang

Shane · **Posted:** December 6th, 2004, 10:43 am

Today we have released one of the longest and most challenging quests yet

King Narnode Shareem of the northern Gnome settlement has decided to send an envoy of the Royal Guard, the 10th squad, to oversee the decommission of the Gnome owned ship-building facilities on the eastern coast of Karamja. The 10th squad has mysteriously gone missing and it will be up to you should you decide to help, to track them down.

For full information on the quest, view the manual page here.

Start point: Grand Tree
To start: Speak to King Narnode
Quest length: Very Long
Minimum requirements: Must have completed The Grand Tree
Must have completed Tree Gnome Village
Able to Defeat a Level 195 Demon
Members only: Yes

Various Small Changes:

We have just made a new option for the Monkey Madness Quest, for people who really, really can't do sliding puzzles. For such people there is now a 'wimp-out' option, to pay a very large sum of money to get the only NPC in the game who knows the combination to do the Monkey Madness sliding puzzle for you. Obviously (if you can) it is much more worthwhile solving it yourself, but we have added this option for people who really are stumped.
I will also take the opportunity to talk about one or two little changes which have gone in today.

Most notably, the crumble undead spell was a bit underpowered before; we have now increased the amount of damage it does.

Some of the npcs will have had small adjustment and improvements to the way they look and to the way they sound when you are fighting them. Most noticably, cows are now brown and white instead of black and white.
