Full Version: Poison Arrow Pub And Aquanite
Sal's RuneScape Forum > Everything RuneScape > RuneScape Updates & News
Neo Avatars


From time to time, we like to open up a forum thread to give you, the players, the chance to come up with specific ideas to add to the game. We then put our favourite ideas into a poll and let the community vote for their favourite. This time, it was to name and fill the vacant pub in Ardougne, and to name a new Slayer creature.

This isn’t because we run out of ideas – far from it! - it’s so you get a chance to genuinely contribute to the content in the game. Of course, we read as many suggestions as we can every day, but running forum threads, discussing your suggestions and knowing that there would be a definite result at the end of the work is a great way to add content to the game.

So, this month, we’re delighted to add the Poison Arrow pub to Ardougne and the aquanite Slayer creature. The pub is just south of Ardougne’s east bank and is filled with a host of suggestions that all came from you! The aquanite is a level 78 Slayer creature that deals magic damage, so do take care if you’re going to visit. You’ll find them at the end of the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon, past the kurasks – you can’t miss them.

In other news...

You will now be properly classed as being 'in combat' when you are attacking someone else, even if you've not been attacked back. Also, if you teleport while in combat, you will now lose 20% of your Earning Potential (EP).

Korvak in the Runecrafting Guild has had his chat improved to make it easier to ask for help with any essence pouches you may have on you.

To be honest it looks like any other Pub. huh.gif
Good luck to anyone who's planning on going to the Aquanites, they're likely to be hella crowded but you may deem it's worth it for the 1.8m drop tongue.gif

its got crappish defense stats but it might be good with ranged void since it has a massive ranged attack bonus.

Right now, I'm pretty mad about the update. Aquanite is so crowded on every single world. It's impossible to keep one to yourself. How are people supposed to complete an assignment of them? I don't know how long it'll be until it calms down though.
DragonTime
The pub all in all seemed kinda useless. Gl everyone going to the aqauitnas thingy idk what its called
Mith
Someone said Sparky the squirrel says there's a place where you can get a whole buncha hats like his - 200 paces north, 500 east. The guy went onto the RSOF and it said it was the GE.... Most pointless update ever. Except for the new creature.

Aw, where's your sense of humor! laugh.gif

I think the pub is real cool, and you can actually buy "mature" ranger aid blink.gif

That's bound to happen, and has happened, with almost every new creature that's been added to the game, that drops anything remotely valuable.

Side note: I got an Amulet of Ranging earlier tonight while I was finishing my task, so I'm fairly pleased. tongue.gif

It may not be too useful, but isn't it better that Jagex adds something like this rather than leave a completely useless building laying around? It wasn't supposed to be a huge update, just something to fill a gap or two.

They seem to be rising pretty steadily still. I've seen people buying at a street price of roughly 3m, which would suggest that the market price of roughly 2m will only be going up for a little while longer.

Seems interesting, i'll check it out.

Posion Arrow pub sucks... It might be a nice place to chill but in reality its just another pub.

The NPC's are built into the tables, thus blue text. smile.gif

And Mohorak, there's 4 men sitting down in the pub, and the only woman in there is counted as a person. tongue.gif

I quite like the pub, shame we can't put glasses on tables/sit down or something. (Though I did suggest to MMH for us to be able to sit down on all chairs, and he said he'd pass it on. smile.gif)
