After the developer said “they don’t drop the same way normal drops do”, all bets were off.
Old-school RuneScape has released the sequel to an 18-year-old quest spotted by GamesRadar+ Desert Treasure 2: Fallen Empire is the MMO’s first quest since 2019, a quest that immediately caused confusion among fans. players who rushed to pocket the new loot that comes with it… and who, in most cases, didn’t get it. Treasure of the Desert 2: The Fallen Empire is the MMO’s first Grandmaster quest since 2019 and is the sequel to, you guessed it, Treasure of the Desert (released in 2005). Players return to the Kharidian Desert to explore a large, old vault and confront the lich-like Mahjarrat.
This is due to circumstances and the unique way Jagex manages RuneScape and OS RuneScape, with the latter essentially being its own fork. OS RuneScape was created from an archive dated August 2007 and does not contain anything added to RuneScape following that date. The Mahjarrat are also notable in this context: major characters in RuneScape for many years, they are just beginning to appear in OS RuneScape.
Hence the return of a quest most players probably haven’t thought of in decades. “The game is full of knowledge, answers to unanswered questions, and connections to unresolved items,” Jagex said in his announcement post.
Desert Treasure 2 is the highest difficulty level of the OS RuneScape quest, Grandmaster, and has several requirements that must be met before you even begin. It features four bosses, each of which can drop a new item called Vestige that can be used to craft one of four new rings, each of which provides superior upgrades to existing Fremennik rings. It’s these Wanted Vestiges that leave players puzzled.
By defeating bosses, players should have a chance of getting a Vestige, but these have proven to be rare enough that players are wondering if they’re not dropping at all, or if the quest has been bugged either way. No, said Jagex“We’ve seen speculation that the ring accessories don’t fall off. Before this becomes a bigger mystery than the Mahjarrat, we would like to confirm one thing. They can fall. We have checked. »
It looks quite crisp and clean, but the dev added “they don’t drop the same way normal items do”, which doesn’t really help. This got RuneScape players talking, making various humorous and sometimes serious suggestions to increase their chances: wearing the visibility ring, killing bosses within a certain amount of time, or implementing some sort of mitigation. luck that prevents brutally forcing things. Most gamers are in for a laugh, of course, but some fringe behaviors are a bit like an MMO cult.
Jagex therefore had to clarify clarification“You don’t have to do anything special or unique, what we mean by that is that what happens ‘behind the scenes’ is different. No need to do IRL emotes or put nan in the cage when the clock strikes midnight, just kill bosses &; have fun ! »
Here’s an idea, a sea of MMO players locking up their grandmothers to increase a boss’ drop rate. You know they would. Jagex says he’ll explain everything in a few weeks, but clearly he doesn’t want to let the secret out so close to the game’s release.
OS RuneScape, you will understand, can be a bit of a crazy place. One of those who will rush their Remnants is this legend who, following 150,000 kills, managed to collect all the boss items in the game. But it’s almost too simple, too vanilla. More recently, a quirk surfaced following routine maintenance, allowing players to mass murder each other with a simple text command, which of course they did, and the situation got so bad that Jagex has had to temporarily take the game offline.
