Introduction

You may or may not have heard of the fists of guthix, its a PvP minigame in which you have to get a certain ammount of charges by holding a stone, only problem is, you are being hunted by an opponent.

There are 2 rounds of the game, one while you are being hunted and getting charges, and one where you are hunting your opponent to stop them getting charges.

The cave is located in close wildy, just north of varrock.

In this game you do not lose your items if you die:).


Getting Started

Before you start playing you have to talk to Lady Fairi (big bug thing) who will tell you about the the caves and everything. Then to start a game you have to enter the waiting room, where you wait until you get enough players to match you up with someone else. Note: The matchmaking system is rubbish, you often get matched with people 50+ lvls away from your lvl.

Once you are in the game you will be given 1000 elemental runes, and 300 calytic runes (deaths, minds, nats etc.). You will also be given 5 bandages to heal yourself, and a tele orb to tele you to the middle of the arena.

The Hunter

When you are the hunter, you have to find your opponent and kill them before they get many charges in there stone. You will be able to find your opponent by seeing a yellow arrow on your minimap and on the main screen.

If your opponent wants to hide from you, they can go into one of the fours rooms that are towards the center of the arena, while you are in there you opponent cannot see you at all. There are also portals in these houses, which teleport you to the other rooms. But beware, these portals take up 20 of your charges.

While you are hunting, you will have a little thing in the corner that looks like this:


This screen will tell you your number of charges, and who you are hunting.


The Hunted

When you are being hunted you must first pick up a stone form the stone dispenser near to where you start, then to gain charges you need to weild the stone. The quickest way to gain charges is to go straight into the middle as you gain them quickest here, but this way makes it easier for your opponent to find you. Whilst on the outside, where its harder for them to find you, you only get 3 about ever 3 seconds.

If you need to hide from your opponent, you can go into one of the fours rooms that are towards the center of the arena, while you are in there you opponent cannot see you at all. Note: You get dealt damage while you are in these rooms. There are also portals in these houses, which teleport you to the other rooms. But beware, these portals take up 20 of your charges and sometimes they teleport you outside of a room.

The maximum number of charges you can get is 5000 (I did it!).


Tokens

You get tokens from winning games, the more charges you win by, the more tokens you get. With these tokens you can buy rewards from the shop, which include metal gauntlets, herblore gloves, runecrafting gloves, new armour sets, and dragonhide hoods.

Wtf, 39 views and no replies, if you are going to read this at least have the decency to reply…

If I see you on this thread and you don't reply, I will make you wish you did…

You should add that FOG is an excellent and easy way to level your magic for free.

Just put on full iron (or mith/rune/whatever) with an air staff, and you can mage people constantly without killing them. They get 5000 charge, so they're happy. And you don't lose any tokens, so you're no worse off.

Hey the reason most people don't reply is because you know this if you read the rules in the game but it is nice if you didn't read it,Yea the lvls is screwed up I'm a lvl 48 combat legit acc no autoing and I got paired with a lvl 115 haha I need to work on my combat but I'm trying to get my guy to make full rune.thanks though

Richard

Yeah, the lvls are messed up. And Tara, great idea with the mage, and about with FOG maging, I should add that its very hard to see people with it. And if the person is a higher lvl, then you can't actually see them at all on high populated worlds because of all the people. Imagine if they didn't have a limit to the number of people in there at once…

I thought FOG was F2P too…
Am I wrong?

I'm using this to train magic.

Richard

2008-04-23 14:21:24

Yep, its F2P, Jagex need there mems back. And did I mention that you get runes when you enter.

You might need to change that ;)

Richard

That means player versus player, no pay to play.

LOL Sorry

Is there any tricks to get matched with a lower leveled player.

I feel best way to win if you can is to ancient.
Ancient (ice spell ovc) to stop them running then dds spec / bow spec or just keep maging with ancient staff wielded

Richard

2008-04-23 17:13:21

I would so that but I find I win more playing F2P, lower lvls. But when I go P2P I use ancients, but I only can use the lvl 82 one, training to get 94 though, just costs so much

What would you like me to say?
I play runescape rarely these days, and I never play minigames…

Good job… ;)

But thanks for saying good job.

it's a shame that the battle robe price has dropped so much.. from it being like over 5mill but now it's like 1mill.. Also the prices for the other items have dropped looads :(
I might try it in f2p soon just to see how it goes :)

F2P is best for FOG, everyone is noobs there, if you go mems, everyone is like lvl 120+ and you get your ass kicked.

Whats the most worthwhile thing to spend tokens on to maximize profit? I've just been buying rune gaunts every 200 tokens.

Richard

2008-04-27 05:49:36

Well, I was buyin rune zerker shields, but now the price has gone down. If you were mem I think battle robes are quite good.
