Heaven Sent

Add a bit more spark to the MOTM polling threads. At the mo, nominated players are just put into a poll, with a list of rules and info underneath. It’d be nice to give each nominee a quick intro and mention why they’ve been nominated before the community votes.

Example:

H and Tauri have both made it through to the MOTM voting!@!@!@!~~~

H has been nominated for his crazy dedication to clog hunting and the effort he puts into chasing those completions.

Tauri has been nominated for his generosity w/ giveaways and for bringing plenty of interaction, fun, and good times to the community through the events he hosts.

Vote for who you think deserves MOTM for the month of September. The winner will be announced on 10 September, best of luck to everyone.

Rules & Information:

- The winner of this month's MOTM will win 3 bonds (can be claimed on any game mode), a forum award, and also be featured on the main page of forums for an entire month.

- If you are caught asking others to vote for you, your name will be removed from the poll.

- If someone is asking others to vote for a specific person, they will be infracted.

- If you are caught voting multiple times on multiple different accounts, all votes will be removed and you will be infracted on forums.

- Any off-topic discussion will be removed. (Keep the topic clean and on topic)

Was gonna finish off my Aerial Fishing clog after the Mastering Mixology weekend bonus, but there’ve been some nice changes to it in the original game, so thought I’d suggest them first and chill until they’re hopefully added to Alora.

• Increased the distance at which you're able to perform 'quick' catches from a 3x3 area to a 4x4 area. In effect, this means you're more likely to chain together back-to-back catches every tick if you'd like to play at this level of intensity.
• You can now unlock a toggle by speaking to Alry the Angler that allows your cormorant to eat fish in your inventory if you don't have any appropriate bait. This reduces the need for you to make fish offcuts as you go and makes the activity considerably less click-intensive.
• Occasionally, a larger fish pool will now spawn that your cormorant will travel back and forth to several times without additional interactions. This adds a little downtime or periods of lower intensity to break up the rapid pace.
• Increased the chance of you obtaining Molch Pearls by ~50%.
• Added the Shark lure pack to Alry the Angler's shop, which contains 100 Shark lures inside and costs 1 Molch Pearl.

The fishing sack has also been reduced from 1,000 molch pearls to 500, so I dunno if you’d wanna drop it to 250 on Alora now or just keep it as is, considering we’ve got the bonus from vote books.

Add the jeweller’s chisel to Alora.

It’s a reward from the Golem Crafting mini-game in OSRS. It has a 10% chance to cut 2 gems at once, giving xp for both gems (could maybe be increased slightly more for Alora). It also works when crafting bolt tips, and the cutting speed is twice as fast.

Since it’s a collection log item, I think it would make sense to add it to another skilling mini-game store or maybe the Daily Tasks store. What do the mandem think?

Not suggesting the actual Golem Crafting mini-game gets added though, because ain’t nobody gon’ spend hours farming hunter furs just to even get through the door... Hunters' Rumours is already basically dead content outside the small cult of clog hunters, so this would just be dead-ass content on arrival and a straight waste of dev time.

Wag1 in the mandem,

Working towards lvl 3 completionist has been pretty overwhelming, so I thought I'd start an adventure's log to keep track of my progress and make the journey a bit lighter. The plan is to update this once a week as I make progress.

I get asked often how I do my achievement diaries and Slayer, so I figured I'd mention it here... I use rings of recoil and a dwarf multicannon with my combat xp locked. Right now I'm averaging around 250k xp per hr on mostly cow and guard tasks, using the vote book and well of goodwill bonuses.

For legitimate purposes, it's worth mentioning that my Hitpoints xp is 1,184, and anyone can verify that on the hiscores. If you ever reset your Hitpoints after levelling it, you'll end up with 1,154 xp instead.

Prolly once I've finished everything above, I'll add more goals. I want to focus on clue scrolls, hopefully get a 3rd age item, and maybe even a boss pet somewhere down the line.

Summer's finally here, and I came up with a few event ideas that I'd personally love to participate in or watch for some entertainment over the next few months. If anyone else has ideas, feel free to share them in this thread. 

King of the Skill

The last King of the Skill was about 8 years ago(?) Since then, skilling has evolved quite a bit with all the new training methods that have been added. It’s a straightforward but enjoyable competition, and it could be a fun way to give players something competitive to do while waiting for larger events like Leagues.

For those who haven’t heard of King of the Skill, it’s a temp game mode where players compete to gain as much xp as possible or reach the highest total level over 24 hrs of playtime.

Forum Scavenger Hunt

The host posts a series of questions, riddles, or clues, and participants race to find the answers by searching through forum pages, threads, categories, or archived posts. Whether it's tracking down information, images, or specific links, the goal is to find everything as quickly as possible. The first person or team to complete the challenge and submit the correct answers wins the reward.

Staff vs. Community Castle Wars

A special Castle Wars event, where the staff team will battle against the entire community across a series of Castle Wars games.

To keep things interesting, staff members will enter each game with boosted HP and Defence, giving them a significant advantage on the battlefield.

The challenge is pretty simple... If the community can win more matches than the staff by the end of the event, everyone will unlock a weekend of bonus perks and boosts across a variety of in-game activities. 

Duo PvP Tournament Clan Wars

16 teams of 2 will be randomly seeded into a single-elimination bracket, with each team facing off against another for a spot in the next round. 

Success won't come from skill alone, as communication, coordination, and trust in teammates will be just as important. Every match brings higher stakes as the competition narrows down to the final contenders.

The top 3 teams standing at the end of the tournament will earn rewards and bragging rights as Alora's best duos.

FashionScape

The host invites everyone to their PoH and asks them to show up in their best FashionScape outfit. Throughout the event, the host gradually removes their least favourite looks until only 10-20 participants remain. Once the top 10-20 have been chosen, more staff members join the judging panel to help decide the final 3 winners, who will then receive prizes.

Prop Hunt

This event was suggested by H earlier today. Whether it was intended as a serious idea or a joke, it has the potential to be a highly entertaining and engaging event.

The host will announce a large region somewhere in the game world. Within that area, several staff members will be hiding, but not as their standard characters. Instead, they will disguise themselves as objects, NPCs, or other entities found in the original game.

Our goal is to search the region, locate the hidden staff members, and be the first player to trade with them. Each hidden staff member can only reward the first player who successfully finds and trades them.
