6th January 2009 - In Pyre Needs

[TonyBest]

The phoenix, an ancient creature from RuneScape’s distant past, is in need of your help. While flying to her roost she was injured, and now she lies wounded and dying in the depths of her fiery cave. By chance, a knowledgeable priest has discovered her home, and now he waits for an adventurer with the necessary skill and courage to aid the phoenix in her hour of need. Perhaps that adventurer will be you! Or are you...chicken?

In this quest you will navigate lava-filled caverns, learn the secrets of an ancient ritual and, if all goes well, save the phoenix from certain death.

Once you’ve completed the quest, you will be able to return to the phoenix’s cave for a repeatable distraction and diversion reward that you can claim once a day. You will also gain the ability to summon a phoenix familiar to aid you in your battles – something that many of you voted for in April’s Guaranteed Content poll. Sorry that you’ve had to wait a while for this!

In other news...
The skeletons in Olaf's Quest tunnels have been changed to make it easier for you to attack at range. These piles of bones will no longer interfere with you when you’re ranging, or at any other time for that matter, as they're long dead!

You can no longer attack another player's familiar in single-way combat on a PvP world. This was never intended, and so should no longer be a problem.

There is a newly installed “make-x” feature for filleting fish such as sturgeon, salmon or trout that should make it easier for you to obtain the materials for making barbarian potions. Also, the barbarian super-restore potion will now correctly restore your Summoning points, just like other restore potions.

One of the changes made to While Guthix Sleeps meant you could no longer cast Ice Barrage on the barriers in Castle Wars. This has been rectified so that the spell now works as it previously did.

In response to your suggestions, a second world for Stealing Creation has been added, as the current one can get a bit busy at times!

A handful of songs (Garden, Still Night, Medieval, Adventure and Expanse) have been updated to sound better than ever. So tune in, and listen out for your favourite!

Finally, the Christmas holiday event has now been removed, but you can still enjoy the Myths of the White Lands quest.

Woot another Stealing Creations world at last. Also i like the Phoenix in that pic

Thats not the Phoenix in the pic..

Easy, you get 11k crafting and fletching and 14k firemaking XP, Then you get 5 phoenix quills (tradable - 3.3k GE price) and you can fight the phoenix once every day for 5 more feathers, its level 240/245 and attacks with mage,

i took

Rune platelegs
Black Dhide body
dboots
Barrows gloves
whip
glory
Obby shield

with
3 PPots (4)
sup str and att
Items needed to get in (sacateurs, knife and tinderbox)
Teletab
5 free spaces (for the wood off the trees)
the rest sharks

Run through with Protect mage on, fight any demon things that block your way collecting clippings from the tree on the way past, then make the branches into the shaved stuff (use knife) then put them on the pyre, the phoenix should come but doesnt auto attack, pot up, pray mage and attack, i recon it has about 250-300 HP, but you dont take damage with pray, then the phoenix will sit on the pyre when defeated, burn it..

Ah, the easy way.. haha
