Hunters' Rumours Guide

23 July 2024 - 03:08 PM

Hello everyone,

Today's guide is about the new Hunter skill activity Hunter's Rumors.

What are Hunter's Rumors you might ask?

Hunters' Rumours are an assignment system, similar to Slayer tasks or Farming contracts, that are available through the Hunter Guild by first speaking to Guild Scribe Verity in the Burrow, the guild's underground pub. By speaking to one of the Guild Hunters in the Burrow, players are tasked to investigate a rumour involving a specific hunter creature. This is done by hunting the creature until a rare creature part is received, and then bringing it back to the Guild Hunter. When a player finds the rare part, a jingle is played and the player receives the message You find a rare piece of the creature! You should take it back to the Hunter Guild..

How to get to Hunter Guild,

To reach the guild you have multiple ways

Hunter/Max Cape teleport which will take you directly down to the Burrow.

If you don't have 99 hunter you can get there by taking the quetzal teleport system located in east side of Varrock

Spoiler

Requirements and recommendations

Level 46 Hunter > Huntmaster Gilman (Novice)

Level 57 Hunter > Guild Hunter Cervus or Ornus (adept)

Level 72 Hunter > Guild Hunter Aco or Teco (expert)

Level 91 Hunter > Guild Hunter Wolf (Master)

Fairy ring access > Completion of Easy & Medium Lumbridge Diary or Lunar Staff

Permanent falcony usage fee which cost 5m.

Basic Quetzal Whistle

After completing 10 rumors getting a basic whistle blueprint

Spoiler

After you get the whistle, you wanna right lick and click Rumor after you receive a rumor and check the chat box to make sure you're hunting the correct rumor.

*There's a bug currently with the plugin when it can show wrong task.

Hunting supplies which you can find at Imia's North east of the guild

You will need, teasing stick, butterfly net, bird snares* and box traps*.

*Depends on your Hunter level.

Meat pouch where you can make it with 4 fox fur + needle + thread. Needs lvl 35 crafting.

and can be upgraded to Large Meat pouch by buying a Mixed hide base from Pellem's Fur Store (Southeast of the guild) + needle + 3x Sunlight antelope fur. Needs lvl 65 Crafting.

Fur pouch ( When it will be added, Soon™ )

Bonecrusher / Bonecrusher necklace

Huntsman's kit ( When you get it as a reward )

Guild hunter outfit ( When you get it as a reward )

*Make sure you have the Hunter Rumours Plugin enabled in your plugins section ( It should be enabled by default ).

The plugin will show you what rumor you currently have and how to get there.

Also you will find the place marked on the map

What do we need to do to run Rumors efficiently ?

There are a few things to note:

Huntmaster Gilman (Novice) is able to give all rumours.
Guild Hunter Cervus and Ornus are both (adept) hunters, but have their own distinct list of rumours.
Guild Hunter Aco and Teco are both (expert) hunters, but have their own distinct list of rumours.
Guild Hunter Wolf (Master) is able to give only 8 type of rumors. (Which we will try to force it to 3 only)

What does it mean to us?

In order to not waste too much time running around we need to setup a blocking list with the low tier Huntmaster in order to go to Master tier with only the ability for him to assign 3 types of rumors.

List of Rumors can be found here

Spoiler

Here's the plan : We need to block the following tasks with the following master.

*Blocking means to get a task assigned and move on to the next Huntguild master.

Huntmaster Gilman (Novice) > Tecu salamander or Moonlight moth
Guild Hunter Cervus (adept) > Red chinchompa

Guild Hunter Ornus (adept) > Red salamander

Guild Hunter Aco (expert) > Moonlight moth or Tecu salamander

Guild Hunter Teco (expert) > Herbi

Here's the Guild Hunter Wolf (Master) list after blocking

Moonlight antelope

Sunlight antelope

Dashing kebbit

*Enable Back-To-Back rumors by talking to Guild Scribe Verity

You will be getting only those 3 tasks, which are the best Rumors/Hr.

Now you reached the Burrow room where you can get your Rumors hunt started,

Now we start by talking to the Novice huntmaster to get our first rumor

**Remember to always double check with the whistle that you're hunting the correct rumor.

*I will only explain the pitfall trapping since it's the new one, Deadfall trap is the same thing, just need logs and you click on the rock to make the trap.

Spoiler

Then you go back to hunter guild and talk to your huntmaster to receive your loot

*You can stack these loot sacks if you want.

And that's it, get another task, confirm with your whistle and good luck!

Tombs of Amascut QOL and changes

What is your suggestion?: Party Leader to start the puzzle rooms,

Adjust The Path of Apmeken (Monkey room), The path of Scabaras (Kephri puzzle).

"The Path of Apmeken (Monkey room)"

Recently OSRS added an adjustment to the money room to make it easy to clear,

First change was that the hp doesn't scale with Raid level or party size.

second change was that if the baboon is hit with the correct style it will one hit kill it.

*Only for the Brawler, Thrower and Mage, the others have very low hp anyway.

You can check them in the table below.

Spoiler

"The Path of Scabaras (Kephri room)"

For the Kephri puzzle room, some changes needs to be made to speed it up a little bit,

there's three changes, first the math puzzle.

The math puzzle in alora you have to stand on each tile in order to activate it.

Make each tile your character move across in the puzzle counts.
*When you're running, you skip one tile between each 3 tiles u run across*

Spoiler

Second the flip match tiles puzzle,

Please allow us to activate the tile as soon as our true tile reaches the tile and remove the wait between flipping them

Clip for reference,

last one is the pillar puzzle,

Standing on the stairs should not land any failing rock on you and weapons should have no cool down.

Spoiler

Lastly, make it that party Leader to start the puzzle rooms

Spoiler

Is this in OSRS?: Yes.

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: No.

How would this benefit Alora?: Will speed up the raid and allow smooth game play :PepeLove: :withlove:

The Leviathan

Instruction_manual.png?13f14 Boss Mechanics

Spoiler

The Leviathan:
- The Leviathan is a giant sea serpent which resides in The Scar; players can begin this fight by boarding a small boat that is in the scar.
- The Leviathan’s standard form has 900 hitpoints, and can only be attacked with range/mage.
  - The leviathan uses rapid auto attacks of all 3 styles, which can be fully protected using the correct prayer.
    - The leviathan also has 2 special attacks:
      - Lightning Barrage:
        
        The leviathan will track the player and send barrages of lightning towards them, dealing massive damage if not dodged.
      - Smoke Blast:
        
        The leviathan will fire debris at the player which does not disappear until after the fight; if players are hit by the debris, they will be knocked back and take damage.
        
        After it fires the debris, then it will send a smoke blast throughout the entire arena, which can only be avoided by taking cover behind the debris.
  - The Leviathan takes 33% less damage while using it’s special attacks.
  - Special attacks are triggered by using a shadow spell on the Leviathan to stun it, and then hitting it in its weak spot, which is located on its back.
Enrage Mechanic:
- Upon reaching a certain hitpoint threshold (20-30% hitpoints), the boss will become enraged, making the fight quite a bit more difficult.
Each of these bosses drops awakener’s orbs, which can be used to fight the awakened form of these bosses, which provides a much more difficult version of the fight.
- The awakened bosses will be disabled for the first week, to give players time to get accustomed to the bosses, and make sure that everything works exactly as we expect.
There are no penalties for dying during these boss fights.
- Players will be teleported to edgeville upon dying, but no items will be lost.
Improved common drop table:
- Each of these bosses has an improved common loot table, which provides an increase in the amount of loot dropped from the non-unique drop tables.
  - To access this table, players must defeat the bosses perfectly, that is, they take no unavoidable damage throughout the fight.

The Whisperer

Instruction_manual.png?13f14 Boss Mechanics

Spoiler

The Whisperer:
- Players must have a Blackstone fragment in their inventory to fight the whisperer, as this will give them access to the shadow realm.
- Players will begin this fight with 100% sanity, which will drain for various reasons throughout the fight, and if their sanity drains to 0%, they will go insane, causing them to take damage every few ticks, which continually increases.
  - Being in the shadow realm, and being hit by certain attacks will drain sanity.
  - Being in the normal realm (except for during the awakened fight) will slowly recover sanity.
    - Players may also regain sanity in some cases from certain special attacks.
- The Whisperer’s auto attack fires 3 range/mage projectiles, and then summons tentacles around the player which will damage them and drain their sanity by 20% if the player is hit by their shockwave.
- Special attacks:
  - Shadow Leeches:
    - The Whisperer teleports to the centre of the arena and summons corrupted seeds around her. Players must step on all of the light green seeds to stop the attack.
      - The seeds will all appear the same in the normal realm, so players must use the Blackstone fragment to enter the shadow realm to see the real seed colours.
        
        If all seeds are stepped on, players will regain 15% of their Sanity, otherwise they will lose sanity and take damage.
  - Soul siphon:
    - The Whisperer will summon souls around her, which players will need to kill to disrupt her chant.
      - The souls will all appear to be the same in the normal realm, so players will need to enter the shadow realm to see the true nature of the souls.
      - Players must kill all of a specific type of soul to disrupt a specific word in her chant.
    - Her chant has 4 specific words, “Vita!”, “Oratio!”, “Sanitas!”, “Mors!”, and disrupting each word will provide the player with a specific benefit.
      - If no words are disturbed, the player will take huge damage and lose a lot of sanity.
  - Screech:
    - The Whisperer will teleport to the back of the arena and summon pillars in front of her which the player must hide behind to avoid her screech.
      - Each screech will deal 20 damage to the pillars, and will instantly destroy the pillar that the player is standing behind.
        
        The pillars will have different health, which can only be seen in the shadow realm, so players must decide which order to stand behind the pillars in to survive the screeches.

After you finish the quest teleport back to ::duel and talk to Eblis to access his shop and buy the Ring of Shadows which costs 5m.

Disclaimer: If you don't know how to fight the boss please go ahead and watch a guide on youtube for each boss.
