Some of the planning on Adyna the Harlequin
Ancient Spellbook
Homecoming ApocalypseMany lives were spent during the war erasing Him from memory; desecrating His name and burning the remnants.
Stories from the time before Guthix speak of an Age of Darkness and that a matrix that was constructed to conceal the shadows; to imprison them and the filth that dwelt within. Though the matrix has remained sealed since, the feuding lords would not risk otherwise. And so efforts were made to conceal the matrix and prevent the empty rising. Keys scattered. Locks disguised. The shadows would forever be His prison.
But more than the likes of the light dwell within the unblinking darkness.
Each guardian within the quest is to be treated as a miniquest in itself, not merely a task within a quest. Storylines and such may be miniquest specific. Such as Malak, the creature you fight my not actually be the Guardian; combat isn't even necessary, as with Raunton.

Rambling;
- Spoiler:
- The miniquests as a whole make up six chapters; the conclusion to Desert Treasure, the four beacons, and an ultimatum.
In each of the four beacon chapters there will be a particularly difficult boss and a legendary item (and, possibly, a curse spell - but they may just all be unlocked at the end).
Thorg's Axe, melee weapon.
Robert's Strongbow, ranged weapon.
Dragonhead Gauntlets, multi-class weapon (lol, the guantless aren't armour).
So, do we have armour? Or a magic weapon? Magic does kinda have the whole spellbook... the only other thing left really is prayer, defence and summoning.
I mean, we could have several new familiars based on the enemies... sandworms ftw? So they're covered. We could make the beacons recharge prayer with a 50% boost (since they were originally an entrance to the gods' guild, we might as well still make them godly). All that's really left now is defence. But which class? Maybe Magic, since Melee and Ranged have god-armour for the old gods; "Ancient Robes", to match the Ancient Staff. That way, it's magic and defence! And I think the difficulty of this quest matches the difficulty to obtain Bandos' and Armadyl's... kinda.
The Dragonhead Guantlets is two-handed weapon. Their design is of two Dragonheads... only of dragons more similar to Draco from Dragonheart (the film; the shape is less slender/snake-like... and more bulky). These would be like huge caricature fists! The melee attack is obvious; the ranged attack has it spit ash; and the magic attack fires small bursts of dragonfire (basically a more yellow fire blast/wave).Requires level 70-90 in all classes, and is like the Salamander (only better).
Fog Robes (Magic and Defense, Fog Guardian)
Dragonhead Gauntlets (universal weapon, Ash Guardian)
Thorg's Axe (melee weapon, Lightning Guardian)
Robert's Strongbow (ranged weapon, Gust Guardian)
Spells... all of them (magic weapon, All Guardians)
Familiars, a few new ones. (summoning, Specific Guardians)
Prayer boost at beacons (prayer, Quest Completion)
Some of the planning on Adyna the Harlequin
- Spoiler:
- She could create a duplicate version of Brimhaven dungeon, only, magical. And instead of chase the ticket, chase Adyna.
Then a chamber of mirrors, only the reflections in the mirrors are somewhat alive. In that, if you try to walk through, ouch! Even if the reflection is of you! The reflections should also beckon you, like; "Here, come this way!"
The final fight would be direct, only, as well as any other attacks, she'll make use of the Illusory curse. She will only use it periodically, but it has a somewhat altered effect to that which players will be able to use. When Adyna uses Illusory, she stops attacking. All her duplicates will swarm you, like in usual multi-combat, including Adyna, all appearing to be attacking you... but you'll receive no damage. If coding must, you'll have loads of 0 splashes, else, it'd be invisible nothing (this is so it's still treated as combat). When you select one of the replicas, or the real, as a target, it will retaliate and do real damage. If you choose the real Adyna, all replicas disappear, if not, only that copy does. The spell wears off itself after about 30 seconds.
With the player version of the spell, the replicas are incapable of damage entirely. If you attack a clone, it vanishes, wasting the attack (since RuneScape uses a turn-based combat system). The user of the illusory spell can either peg it, or stay and fight. Now normally, the highest hitting target attracts the auto-retaliate feature; so you'd pick out the caster if he stayed. However, Illusory's fake attacks trick the system into thinking they are all hitting random high-damage (though
you'll lose no health). So your player would randomly shift around attacking random ones, never the caster.
Ancient Spellbook
- Spoiler:
You may only have two of the four chapters open at any one time. When
you pray at ones respective altar, you will be given the choice as to
which you wish to replace. The teleports and curses are open exempt to
any chapter, though the curses are PVP only (excluding Castle Wars and
Duel Arena).

Segment one contains the battle spells.
Segment two contains the teleportation spells.
Segment three contains the curse spells. PVP only (not PVP-world only, there's a difference).
You can reposition a segment by dragging it's divider bar (up or down).
X1 orders the spells by element.
X2 orders the spells by level.
All five chapters are graded between 1 and 5; and when the player chooses their chapters, the spells will be alternated, such as; Smoke, Ash, Shadow, Sand, Blood, Stone, Ice, Bone, etc. Aside from spells in the lowest and highest grade, all spells would have two possible levels (depending on which chapter they are paired with).

This may be completely rejected...but maybe we should try and make it so that to finish HA a person with the minimum req for quest cape would have to train every skill

You know what, I'm happy if the Slayer, Woodcutting and Smithing requirements are either equal too or lower than the current requirement. Call it even on the only Hitpoints requirement any quest has ever had - 70, it's a big jump from N/A, so it makes up for other skills going unchanged.

With 70 Hitpoints, 70 Agility, 70 Ranged and 70 Strength you're only 2.5mil away.
And we don't need to increase the high levelled ones to break that.

Lol, that's true.
I don't think it's needed to make everything harder than it currently is... that's kinda pointless.
This is a very high level quest with many requirements, but nothing should be too much harder than it needs to be.

Hey 3mpty. Is anyone doing Drystan the Fallen King for the Stone diamond? Is it done?
If no one's doing it and it's not done, I would love to do it.

No-one is yet doing Drystan. The stone giant is resting on his throne within the catacombs beneath his late-empire, stone heart beating within it's stone chest.

Depends where we feel his former empire should have stood. Considering his age... I'd say his empire should have been on the western outskirts of where the war hit. Kandarin was barely touched by the war, but war must've threatened his kingdom as he sold his heart to Zamorak in order to protect it.

Sounds reasonable, it means his power could have been the sole reason the war never crossed the mountain... he could not be slain by his enemies, and a man who cannot be killed has nothing to fear.

Random stuff copy and pasted from the RS Forum...
The Colossus of Frene, one of the Ancient Ent. The Colossus was thought impervious to any mortal blade - though few have even succeeded in piercing its airspace (let alone bark). For this, it was granted Guardian.
Drystan sold his soul in return for the power to fell any who'd befoul his kingdom. But his invulnerability cost more than his soul, and all those he loved perished of their mortality. Drystan condemned himself to the catacombs, where his mind decayed. Immortal to the weapon of his enemies, Drystan's stone heart would beat for eternity.

But sometime near the end of the war... what if he fell fatally ill and couldn't rule his kingdom as well? His forces were losing battle after battle, barely able to keep the land safe. To keep his people from harm, he sold his heart before his kingdom would be destroyed and all the people murdered. So Zamorak spared his area...
Not complete, but better?

His kingdom being under attack before he sold his soul is slightly better, although probably what I meant - it was such a long time ago. But immortality is a curse, Drystan, do not take it lightly. 
The whole concept of Homecoming shows that Zamorak had other things to worry about. He returned from where he was imprisoned by the gods and war began over who would control Zaros' former empire... whilst Zamorak would, indeed, want his piece, he wasn't exactly required on the front line. And... just like the other gods, trying to claim what was otherwise owned wasn't too high on the agenda either. The Desert, whilst purged of Zarosian evidence, was mostly untouched and as was Hallowvale until Drakan wished to collect what Zamorak promised him.

Cool. Zamorak must've said that after taking his heart 
Drystan's kingdom currently would have been
Fishing guild - SW tip
Legend's guild - SE tip
White Wolf Mountain - East Side
The river that seperates Seer's from Rellekka - North Side

Lol, I guess. Everyone else left.
The point in saying it afterwards is to make you think about your choice... after it's too late to go back

I'm wondering. Do you think way back (like during the God Wars) the waterways in RuneScape may have been lower? I can see how that would open up some opportunities.
I have to eat supper, maybe I'll talk to you after that.
