Egghebrecht Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) Maggie, a travelling witch, has come to southern Asgarnia for the holiday festivities, but she's in a bit of a spot. She needs an enchanted broom to finish her potion but her ox has a cold and can't be left alone. In Swept Away, you'll need to visit several nearby witches on Maggie's behalf – and solve a few puzzles along the way. While you're in the neighbourhood, why not try out the Holiday Event: a bit of trick-or-treating in Draynor, Rimmington and Port Sarim. The towns are decked out in holiday décor and the villagers have treats to distribute to those wearing a suitable costume. If you're interested in some holiday garb, have a chat with Maggie: she's on the look-out for someone who can do a bit of trick-or-treating on her behalf. Swept Away can be started by talking to Maggie, who is located south of Falador and east of the Crafting Guild. The quest will be available to all players for two weeks; after this time, it will only be available to members. The Hallowe'en decorations and trick-or-treating will only be available during the same holiday period. Any treats remaining in your bank or inventory after this time will disappear after Hallowe'en. Mod Ingrid RuneScape Content Developer Summary Where to start the Holiday Event or Swept Away:Speak to Maggie, south of Falador Requirements: None In other news... A large number of sound effects and changes to sound effects have been added, especially to capes and the skillcape emotes. Human animations have been extensively modified to stop players appearing to glide around. You should also notice less 'clipping' with items like capes and armour when performing various actions or using emotes. When you're dismissing a familiar, you can now right-click on the 'Dismiss' button. This will let you skip the confirmation screen, making it easier to dismiss the familiar during combat. Fairy rings now have a larger clickable area. Previously, it was quite small and potentially difficult to click on, so we've enlarged it to make your journeys quicker. Adding items to fill up compost bins should now be considerably easier. When you've used one item on the bin, your character will automatically attempt to put any further items of that type into the bin, saving you a bit of clicking. Metarialus and Blandebir (the brewing chaps in Port Phasmatys and Keldagrim) will now offer to fill all your pots with yeast at once rather than making you go through their conversation for each pot. Using one beer glass on a barrel of freshly brewed beer will also make your character attempt to fill all their beer glasses without any additional clicking, and there's a newly installed water source in the brewery at Port Phasmatys. Bounty Hunter Combat levels have been updated to reflect recent Combat level changes. The crater entrance requirements are now: 3-55, 50-100 and 95+ (all without Summoning). Dragon dagger p++ should now be easier to find on the Grand Exchange. We've also taken the opportunity to change some adamant items to use "addy" at the start. This is only for the super poisoned items, namely arrows, daggers and spears. QuickChat has now been given a predictive search feature to allow you to find the phrases you want more effectively. A distant rumble has recently been heard just north of Baxtorian Waterfall... the update on 30-Oct-2008 12:01:53 QFC: 15-16-171-57828167 This is to fix a few issues with Hallowe'en. Those of you who have completed the Trick or Treat event but find your quest journal is still yellow should speak to Maggie again. Happy Hallowe'en! Mod Nexus. Edited October 30, 2008 by Egghebrecht

texgnome1 Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 A distant rumble has recently been heard just north of Baxtorian Waterfall... Must be a Hint to that huge quest they were talking about a few months ago..... Yeah, very interesting - wonder what that part is all about. Anyone been to the falls yet?
Morty Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) I've been to falls and briefly visited the mithril dragon dungeon below (Didn't have an anti-dragon shield or food), but I couldn't see anything new. Perhaps deeper into the dungeon? Edited October 28, 2008 by Morty

Jamster Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Yay for JaGex bothering to use the apostraphe in Hallowe'en! It's not just me
Cookie Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Finished Quest: Warlock outfit and Broomstick: More?
QOTimSA Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) **SPOILER** Done swept away! You get 1 quest point, a broom and 10 portions of yummy, experience-giving goulash! (10x skill level of your choice.) Anyone wanna know how to do that triangle puzzle thingy? EDIT: Was gonna say more, but was beaten! Damn you colorshade! Edited October 28, 2008 by QOTimSA
Cookie Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 **SPOILER** Done swept away! You get 1 quest point, a broom and 10 portions of yummy, experience-giving goulash! (Around 270 xp per portion.) Anyone wanna know how to do that triangle puzzle thingy? You get 10x Skill level of your choice, and i have already uploaded pictures
KSC Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 That was the most fun ive ever had on runescape, it was a massive improvement on last years event and reward, we got a completlely new outfit with this event and i really like how they have spooked up the treak or treating places it was well worth all that wait.
Bronze Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) Found it boring, and repetive, the rewards were a strippy T Shirt, and trousers, and a broom. Also the rumblings is the mithril door. I have a feeling it is to do with the Mahjarrats, for they all have moved north. I also did this event on a PvP world which spiced it up considerably Edited October 28, 2008 by Bronze
Anon Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) Ooooh finnaly! I'm going to do both of them now 2nd page ftw Edited October 28, 2008 by Frog
Da Scotsman Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) Man Homepage looks sexy can't wait. About to give them both a go now. Actually reading through most of the minor improvments are damn handy.. Edited October 28, 2008 by Da Scotsman
Tree Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Just finished the quest and event! The rewards are nice ('specially the Warlock costume) Also, i think that all those "guardians of Armadyl" refer to the God-wars themed quest at the end of this year. ~Cyanide
texgnome1 Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Started the guide and have my purple cat! Not sure if anyone else has posted this, but... If you talk to the Sorceress' apprentice in Al Kharid, she will enchant your broom so you can teleport straight into the garden. If you talk to Ali the Hag in Polivneach, she gives you 1700+ magic xp. If you talk to the old crone next to the Canifis Slayer Tower, she gives you just under 8k magic xp. Don't have a high enough mage level to know what the last two do, but 10k magic xp is certainly worth a couple of quick trips.
