Founder Sp33dy20 Posted November 1, 2017 Founder Share Posted November 1, 2017 King of the Skill, Grotesque Guardians Changes and QoL mod_ayiza November 01 2017 This week we kick off King of the Skill, a brand new skilling competition running throughout the month of November! There are also a few small changes to the new Gargoyle boss, amongst some more QoL and bug fixes. King of the Skill King of the Skill has officially launched! A brand new game mode that focuses on the dedication and thought required behind skilling. If you're serious about skilling and want to show how good you really are, King of the Skill is the perfect opportunity to do just that. Do you feel like you're the best Miner throughout all of Keldagrim, or perhaps you have a particular hand for cutting trees and want to be known as the best Woodcutter the lands have ever seen? Prove your worth in King of the Skill and you could be bagging yourself some fancy prizes alongside being cemented in history as the best skiller Old School has to offer. You will find 6 brand new worlds live which will allow any active members account to log into. Once you've logged in you'll find yourself starting back at the very familiar Tutorial Island and your journey begins! Our intention is to keep King of the Skill as close to the core game experience as possible, meaning your decision making throughout this competition will be key. That being said, whilst the King of the Skill worlds will act like normal servers for the most part, there are some notable changes: All accounts are Ironmen by the way (be aware that anyone using multiple ironmen to increase XP rates or benefit another account will be disqualified). There is no Grand Exchange. There is 10x XP for all XP rates including XP lamps and quest rewards. You will only be able to log in to these worlds for a maximum of 24 hours game play during the month of November. You will see a counter on screen displaying how much of the 24 hours you have remaining. At the end of November we'll be awarding the top players in the competition with a variety of prizes. There are rewards for players with the highest total level overall and even for each individual skill. Here is a breakdown of how the prizes will be awarded: Total Level Winners 1st - Limited Edition Old School Gaming PC from Chillblast!, Signed and framed Old School Artwork & LIFETIME Premier Club gold package on an account of your choice 2nd - ICON Series Gaming Chair from Noble Chairs, Signed and framed Old School Artwork & Premier Club gold package on an account of your choice 3rd - Signed and framed Old School Artwork & Premier Club gold package on an account of your choice 4th - Signed and framed Old School Artwork & Premier Club gold package on an account of your choice 5th - Signed and framed Old School Artwork & Premier Club gold package on an account of your choice 6th - Premier Club silver package on an account of your choice 7th - Premier Club silver package on an account of your choice 8th - Premier Club silver package on an account of your choice 9th - Premier Club bronze package on an account of your choice 10th - Premier Club bronze package on an account of your choice Skill Winners 1st - Old School Merch Goodie Bag, signed and framed Old School artwork and a LIFETIME Premier Club gold package on an account of your choice 2nd - Signed and framed Old School Artwork & Premier Club gold package on an account of your choice 3rd - Premier Club silver package on an account of your choice 4th - Premier Club bronze package on an account of your choice 5th - Premier Club bronze package on an account of your choice This is the first time we've looked to do any form of competition for skilling outside of the previous Clan Cups, so it's very new to us! If King of the Skill is successful, we'd love to offer bigger and better prizes for the next competition we run! Full Terms and Conditions can be found at the bottom of this page. In Other News We've been listening to your feedback regarding the Grotesque Guardians and made a number of changes: Dusk's special attack during Phase 4 will never be cast under himself. The clickzones on the Spheres during Phase 3 have been improved. Players will no longer be interrupted from attempting to absorb when the healing spheres increase in size. The timer of Dawn's Stun attack has been reduced to roughly half of the previous time. The Grotesque Guardians will now drop 4 dose Prayer potions instead of 3 dose. Items dropped on the ground in the Grotesque Guardians Boss room will now last for 30 minutes while the instance is active. As normal when the instance is left, if items are still on the floor they are lost. Protect from melee will now take effect when being attacked by Dusk. Shadows will now appear on the tiles that the rocks intend land on during Phases 2 and 4. Players that have killed the Grotesque Guardians more than 5 times will have a skip into feature on the bell when they right click it. Other Changes & Fixes Superior slayer mobs should now still be available when you log back in if you happen to log out. Players may now purchase throwable Rock hammers to smash gargoyles from a distance. The auto-smash ability from Slayer masters will effect these. The Marble Gargoyle has had a new lick of paint. Granite cannonballs will now drop as regular cannonballs on death in PvP. The Special attack animation for the Granite hammer has been adjusted to be more in line with the item's aesthetics. Free players may no longer purchase minecart tickets. Gunslik's shop prices have been adjusted in line with other general stores. The Earth's Fury crossbow bolt special effect was being blocked if the attacker had Protect from Magic active, rather than checking the target's prayer. The Sea Curse crossbow bolt special effect was checking for the target wielding a basic water staff, but did not recognise other equivalent water staves. Armour cases in player-owned houses now have the Void kit in the same part of the menu rather than them being spread out.
