Update:Trouble Brewing
This update was added on 4 July 2006.
The gates of Mos Le'Harmless have been thrown open!
Players can now explore the whole of the island, and participate in the new minigame, Trouble Brewing. Join a team of brave, bold, and fireproof pirates to brew some bootleg "rum" for fun and profit. Train firemaking and cooking the pirate way! Douse burning pipes with water! Boil flowers for colouring! Get monkeys to fetch nuts from high branches! Rewards on offer include a staggering array of pirate clothing, and for the most dedicated players there are several pirate flags to be had. Players looking to make more of their own brewing will also be interested in one of the other potential rewards, which can help dramatically with your mature ales.
Even Pirates need instructions occasionally, so all the activities and tips on how to play the game are recorded in a helpful manual in game, along with an excellent Knowledge Base report.
Slayer masters have also been informed of the dangerous creatures that roam the island, and will now send players that can access the island after Cave Horrors. Be sure to take a Witchwood Icon and a light with you if you go after these howling beasts, since they're as dangerous as they are ugly. Players that train Slayer might be interested in the masks they wear, as they provide a nice attack bonus when on a slayer task.
We've also released a new random event this month. One of the Camelot beekeepers has a problem - his old beehives have stood around for a long time and they are starting to fall apart. Help him to reassemble the beehives, before you get stung and have to dive into a stream to escape the angry swarm! Bee careful not to get stung...
