18 April 2006 - Pest Control

[Steven.]

The Void Knights are a military order who have helped serve Guthix and his penchant for balance since the early Fourth Age. It is their job to ensure that the flux of good and evil coming through to RuneScape each day remains constant, but there are some beasts they find more difficult to accept than others. On a series of islands in the far south of the world they have found some portals that are nothing but pure evil, which must be shut down at any cost.

Pest Control (http://kbase.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/viewarticle.ws?article_id=2531), the biggest update of the month is finally here!
This update includes:
A new cooperative combat-based minigame
7 new kinds of deadly monster
A new island featuring a bank and shops
A new food item: field rationsProtect the Void Knight from the invading hordes for 20 minutes or go and destroy the portals yourself while your friends rebuild the smashed barricades left behind you. With boats visiting the portals as soon as enough volunteers are available, we are confident this game will become a firm favourite for fans of cooperative gameplay.

Dying during the Pest Control game is the same as dying in Castle Wars (no item loss and no trip to Lumbridge), so you have no excuse not to visit! Speak to the Squire at the southern end of Port Sarim to try out Pest Control (http://kbase.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/viewarticle.ws?article_id=2531) today!

[LesbianGhost]

Yay, thanks to noobs you now get WAY less xp and money. When it was first released you got 5k and a LOT more xp.

[lukeisok]

:O

Lmao.
I only got 770 coins xD

[JonJon]

I didnt even read what Steven said, 'sounds fun' but yet i said the same thing in Womsies thread about this. I really wanna join the clan, if you mean the Habbox Forum peeps, but Im F2P too :(

[Charles]

How? Does it mean, more people less xp?

[micky.blue.eyes]

The coins you get is your combat x 10 (so I get 900 coins, will be 910 soon)
I don't get the ammount of xp you get.
I'm 79 mage and get 1040xp per point.
Lukeisok gets 504xp per point and he's 55 mage.

[LesbianGhost]

How? Does it mean, more people less xp?
You used to get 5k coins for winning and way more xp, noobs complained (mostly high levels) the xp and cash was too much so Jagex tweaked it.

What the!? You can never get too much free xp.

[LesbianGhost]

What the!? You can never get too much free xp.
Hence the mass of ranting threads on the official forums.

[Royksopp]

dam them!!!

[micky.blue.eyes]

More xp is good and you'll become bored of it after a while anyway.

[Charles]

Complaining because they worked hard on their combat stats. Then this comes along and gives 'Noobs' an easy way to level up. Making the higher people jealous.. >.>

But that's exactly the point, it's not an easy way to level up. As soon as the hype dies down "noobs" won't easily be able to complete the minigame to get the xp.

[micky.blue.eyes]

I don't know if before they lowered the ammount of xp you get, the ammount of xp depended on your lvl, but now it does. So noobs will still have a hard time because they only get a few 100xp per skill.

[Mr.Kylee]

My barrage owns there, really good xp ^_^

[Emo Tom]

Nice,
Cost's quite a bit per spell though but if you pk with it it's definatly werth it!

[micky.blue.eyes]

My barrage owns there, really good xp ^_^
Woah! Just must get 500xp per cast.
I think it's dumb you can poison the portals though.

[lew!]

LOL, Poison a Portal, I must agree... That is VERY dumb. Im a noob though, So i always die in the game -.-'' its too hard, Too many monsters around.

Go to a tower and range or mage them from there. Use protect from range or mage if you can.
