Tournament Worlds: Theatre of Blood rewards

03/09/2018

Yesterday's Theatre of Blood announcement saw a number of rewards proposed. Today's game update offers you the opportunity to get to grips with them, albeit in pink placeholder form. The Deadman Spring Finals kick off tomorrow. Plus more offerings QoL Month!

Theatre of Blood Rewards Testing: Tournament Worlds

Theatre of Blood

In yesterday's Theatre of Blood Dev Blog, we proposed a number of rewards to come the Theatre of Blood raid encounter. The raid itself, along with the rewards, are naturally subject to polling. To aid your decision making we're launching some Tournament worlds which will allow you access to the weapons and armours. You'll find that you're able to try the rewards any you'd like, rather than with recent Tournament world offerings which were limited to PvP. Please note that you can only access the proposed weapons and armours. The proposed prayer and potions do not yet exist and cannot be accessed.


Proposed raids rewards have been added to the Tournament Supplies chests on Tournament worlds. Currently they utilise placeholder models in a fetching bubblegum pink. Should the rewards pass the poll then unique assets will be created. The equipment in the chests have the stats and effects pitched in the above dev blog.

Other Tournament World Information

The chests contain Ecumenical keys to allow you to skip God Wars kill count requirements.

Players are able to get unlimited slayer tasks in these worlds. Slayer masters will offer a new task even if you still have a task assigned.

A multitude of teleports have been added to the chests to allow ease of transport to various encounters.


Deadman Spring Finals

The Spring Finals will begin at approximately 12pm GMT on Friday 9th March! The Finals will run until Saturday 17th, culminating in the Permadeath Stage beginning at 7pm GMT. We'll be live 7pm GMT, Saturday 17th March, on twitch.tv/oldschoolrs, make sure you tune in to see who will take home the $20,000 grand-prize!
