I was checking out Runescape’s official Facebook page and they noted that this is coming this week:
Runescape's possible new elite puzzles for clue scrolls?
The update should come tomorrow if it goes according to their normal update schedule. It will be very interesting to see how this pans out along with all of the items the update will inject into the economy. Fun stuff!
In terms of an update, this is definitely a little bit more than I originally expected from Jagex. I never thought that a decent update could be made out of this Dungeoneering skill, but hey, it isn’t so bad after all.
Does it make Dungeoneering any better of a skill for me to train? Maybe, maybe not. The new resource dungeons are a great addition to the skill, boasting rooms with kingly impling spawns, runite ore mining spots (three of them to be exact!), herb spawns on the floor and much more!
This guy ain't friendly.
One thing that I wasn’t expecting however, whether it be stupid of me or not… was that I thought Jagex would make “resource dungeons” with the same concept of Dungeoneering in mind as well – but it seems to me now that these resource dungeons are more of a reward.
I would have definitely expected before the update that these resource dungeons would be kept to your own character, i.e. not having to share the dungeon with other people. Upon thinking about it properly and seeing the resources available it only made sense that these dungeons were publicly available rather than private for everyone: it would have destroyed the economy.
I did snatch a few shiny runite ores from the new place, so I’m not complaining. I did expect a higher Dungeoneering level to mine that ore, but that’s beside the point.
Ores galore!
After playing a few games of Dungeoneering yesterday I’ve come to appreciate the construction spot – I need to explore it a little bit more but from what I’ve seen so far it has great potential. Being able to create an altar is awesome, and the group gatestone feature is beyond useful.
The class rings are still being tried out by myself, I’ve been messing around with the skiller ring and it seems to be working wonders in terms of finding resources. I like the idea that you use tokens to upgrade your level, gives all the more reason to train the skill.
Overall, I think Jagex pulled this one off pretty well by giving us a reason to train this skill now (or more of them, perhaps?). Now it’s time to see how they do with the big feared Clue Scroll update; but we shall discuss that one when the time comes ;)
PS: has anyone noticed that Daemonheim is excessively larger than before?
