Hello everyone,

It has been a while since we last posted one of these development blogs, so now felt like the right time to post one to get all of you up to speed with what we have been working on recently, which will hopefully build some excitement. 

Without further ado, lets dive right in.

MASTERING MIXOLOGY

Overview:

First of all, we have Mastering Mixology. A herblore minigame that revolves around assisting the Alchemical Society in filling out orders of potions, which have skyrocketed after Varlamore opened its borders to the mainland.

Gameplay: 

To keep it short, Mastering Mixology involves refining herbs into their basic elements and using the resulting pastes to brew potions based on the order given.

Rewards:

Supervisor Lalo runs the store Mixology Rewards where players can spend your resin earned by playing the minigame.

Potion packs - A potion pack that grants four sets of potions with varying quantities and doses.

Prescription goggles - Grants a 10% chance to save a secondary ingredient when mixing potions.

Alchemist's outfit - A cosmetic outfit. 

Reagent pouch - Stores up to 26 of each secondary ingredient used in herblore.

Potion storage - Unlocks a new part of the bank where potions can be stored without taking up slots from the main bank interface.

Chugging barrel - Allows simultaneous consumption of up to five different potions when within a bank.

Alchemist's amulet - Increases the chance of making a 4-dose potion from 5% to 15%.

MOONS OF PERIL

Overview:

Next up, we have Moons of Peril. The Moons of Peril are three nagua imprisoned in Neypotzli, a prison located beneath Cam Torum.

This is a new mid level pvm activity that is a step up in difficulity from content such as Barrows. This content can be approached solo, or with a team. Although nothing is stopping you from bringing supplies and racing to the bosses right away, its worth your time to explore the surroundings. Every room contains both combat and skilling opportunities, allowing you to accumulate food and potions and ready yourself for the difficult fights.

Gameplay: 

The player's trip into Neypotzli begins in the antechamber, expanding outwards along three accessible entrances. Each of these - the Streambound Cavern, Earthbound Cavern, and the Ancient Prison - have different resources where players can create food and potions that are more powerful than even the best found outside.

Once the player is ready, they can proceed to face the Moons of Peril; the three bosses share a unique mechanic where their basic attack will hit three times, each dealing more damage than the last; however, if one hit misses, the remainder will as well. This means having good defence bonuses will result in less damage taken overall.

While they can be fought by multiple players simultaneously, the boss' health is tied to individual players, meaning each player will effectively have to deal all damage on their own.

Rewards:

Blood moon armour - a set of melee equipment with the Bloodrager set effect.

Blue moon armour - a set of magic equipment with the Frostweaver set effect.

Eclipse moon armour - a set of ranged equipment with the Eclipse set effect.

MOBILE UI REWORK

Overview:

And last, but not least, we have a few mobile changes heading your way. This update will make playing on your handheld device an even better experience, with a refreshing new UI, and a few more amazing plugins for you to enjoy, such as Menu Entry Swapper and Ground Markers to name a few.

We hope you enjoyed a small sneak peak into what we will be releasing over the next few updates. 

Wishing you a great week,

Welcome to my Dragon Slayer II Guide.

Today, @Omicron released Dragon Slayer II along with the new Boss, Vorkath.

Note that this is NOT a Vorkath guide. You can read my Vorkath guide here: Vorkath Guide

1. Quest Requirements

Spoiler

Spoiler

1). Talk to Glen, located North-East of the Edgeville Bank.



2). He will tell you that he is looking for his brother, located at the Mage Bank. Use the Teleport Wizard to teleport to the Mage Bank. Don't worry, it's not in the PVP area.



3). Talk to the Tower Mage, located just east of the lever.



4). He will first warn you of the dangers Zorgoth poses, but being the badass that you are, you tell him you aren’t afraid. He will then tell you to return to his brother (Glen from Step 1) for more information on Zorgoth. Teleport Home and talk to Glen.

5). Glen will tell you to find a book located in the Wise Old Man's library in Draynor Village. Either use the Teleport Wizard or an Amulet of Glory to go to Draynor Village. Run slightly West and The Wise Old Man is located in the first Northern building. Talk to The Wise Old Man.



6). The Wise Old Man will give you a book about Zorgoth. Open it and close it, and your character will automatically continue the conversation. He will then tell you that he needs you to collect 4 pieces to a key which he can enchant. He will also tell you the first piece of the key is held by King Narode Shareen.

7). Teleport Home, then use the Teleport Wizard to teleport to the Gnome Agility Course. Once there, run directly North.




8). Talk to King Narode Sheeran, and he will give you his piece of the key once you remind him of your bravery during the Monkey Madness quest.



9). Return to The Wise Old Man and talk to him (refer to Step 5 for how to get to him). He will tell you where the next piece of the key is located, which is the Oneiromancer from the Lunar Diplomacy quest.

10). Teleport Home and talk to the Oneiromancer, located just South-West of the Edgeville Bank. She will already know what is going on due to the Dream monsters being restless for the first time since you defeated them. She will willingly give you her piece of the key.



11). Return to The Wise Old Man and talk to him (refer to Step 5 for how to get to him). He will tell you where the next piece of the key is located, which is the Gypsy from the Recipe for Disaster quest.

12). Teleport to ::Thieve and talk to Aris. She will tell you that her piece of the key is "Shimmering" and hand it to you quickly.

13). Return to The Wise Old Man and talk to him (refer to Step 5 for how to get to him). He will tell you where the final piece of the key is, which is Jossik from the Horror From The Deep quest.

14). Teleport Home, then use the Teleport Wizard to teleport to Rock Crabs, then run directly West until you reach Jossik.
~ Note you may wish to bring a weapon to fight off Rock Crabs in case they attack you and interrupt the conversation with Jossik. ~





15). Talk to Jossik. He will tell you that he lost his key while fighting Adamant and Rune dragons in the Myth's Guild. He will then tell you to go there and talk to Freja about killing the dragons in order to retrieve it. When he offers to teleport you to the guild, say no as it is time to gear up!

16). Teleport Home and go to the bank and gear up. Refer to Section 2 for recommended gear setups.

17). Once you are geared up, use the Teleport Wizard to teleport to the Myth's Guild. Once there, pass the barrier to the South and talk to Freja.




18). She will tell you that Jossik has had problems killing the dragons and will tell you how to defeat them. Once the conversation is over, click on the statue in the center of the circle Freja stands in and select the 2nd option to teleport to the dragons.



19). Run slightly North and pass one of the barriers (Western is Adamant dragons, Eastern is Rune dragons). Kill dragons until you receive the last piece of the key as a drop.



20). Teleport Home and get all of the pieces of the key out of your bank. Use two of the pieces together and you will make the key.

21). Return to The Wise Old Man and talk to him (refer to Step 5 for how to get to him). You will hand him the key and he will enchant it, turning it into a locator. He will then offer to teleport you to the boss. Say no and teleport Home to gear up for the fight against Vorkath.

22). Once you are geared and ready, use the Teleport Wizard to teleport to Vorkath. Run North and climb over the wall, then click on Vorkath to begin the fight. Once you have killed Vorkath, the quest will automatically be completed.
