Daily Challenges & Noticeboard
16 hours ago
Daily Challenges

The Burthorpe Imperial Guard needs you! Members of all levels can now take on Daily Challenges: varied goals which, when completed, grant a healthy chunk of XP in the skill of your choice.

Each day, you'll be assigned a new Daily Challenge that you have the skill levels to fulfil. You can find out what this is through the new Noticeboard interface (more on that later).

These could be anything from culling the dagannoth population or brewing super prayer restore potions to cooking pies or growing watermelons. You can get hold of the materials you need however you like, but you'll need to complete at least the final stage of the process yourself. For example: if you're tasked with fletching yew longbows, you can buy the strings and bow shafts ready-made from the Grand Exchange and then put the bows together to complete the Daily Challenge.

When you're done, head over to Burthorpe and report in with the quartermaster for your reward. As you'll have to hand in any items that you're required to make, you'll be reimbursed with a challenge mystery bag, containing goods equivalent in value to any materials you had to use. On top of this, you'll get a hefty XP reward in the skill related to your completed Daily Challenge, as well as a spin on the Squeal of Fortune. Up to five of your most recently assigned Daily Challenges will be saved if not completed, so you can catch up if you miss out on a day or two.

Overcoming the thousands of Challenges that Gielinor can throw at you for sack-loads of XP and all expenses paid? Challenge accepted!

The Noticeboard

Gielinor is a vast place, filled with wonders, perils and riches aplenty, so sometimes the hardest thing is knowing what to do next! That's no longer a problem, with the introduction of the Noticeboard - the one-stop interface for all of your RuneScape adventures.

The Noticeboard - accessible anywhere via its icon in the bottom-right of the screen - brings the new Daily Challenge system together with the existing Quest Journal and Task Lists (now called Achievements) in one handy interface. For members, there's also a 'Minigames' tab, which directs you to Minigame or D&D content that's accessible to you, of the type that you want to play. To top it off, we've also included a 'Featured' tab, which picks out the best content that RuneScape has to offer that's suited to your levels, so you're never short of awesome content to experience.

Have fun!

In Other News

The Gielinor Games have ended, and can no longer be accessed within RuneScape.
Anyone with bonus XP left to use in their Mad May necklace still has plenty of time to do so: until the 31st of December 2012.
The Recommendation system has been replaced by Challenges. These are different from Daily Challenges in that they have no rewards, but they're accessed through the same interface, and are a great way for newer players to find out what RuneScape has to offer.
Solomon's Store now holds an all-new Royal Court range , including Monarch, Noble and Servant outfits, as well as a Jousting Lance weapon re-skin!
If you're eligible for Sizzling Summer, be sure to pick up your free Squid Cape and Crab Dance emote from Solomon's Store!

My thoughts after watching the video is that this new task rewards system is an attempt to replace what some bots produce… agree or disagree?

Any idea if this is a comp cape req? Can't log on at school.

Not sure, but does anyone notice that the quest button is missing?

Quest button is now moved to task button…

Quote directly from the article lol

OT: Can't wait to get home and try this out ;)

I like it, great exp rewards!

This looks pretty cool actually, I am close to completing my daily tasks. The only thing I am wondering is if there might be some hidden bot detection updates we do not know about. But so far, so good!

It is pretty good for tasks that don't require a shitload of money. :D I tried one - 46 Cavefish. Got 18.8k XP and ~60k. And a SOF spin. Not bad.

FYI, anyone that gets a smithing task, you have to make armor pieces or weapons, making unfinished bolts or arrow heads does NOT count and will waste you more money.

One more thing, you will not always get a challenge bag, so be warned. I just spent 3m on a construction task and the reward was worth only 2m, its all random. No guaranteed profit.

Yay now, I don't actually have to train my skills.

300k dung exp after one floor - hell yeah.

I quite like the update, not a big fan of the fact that there is now a blank game tab though…

inb4 they make a bot compleat challenges lol

Lol it would be pretty simple, I mean the tasks are not very challenging and most can be done with a little help from the GE.

That would be cool hah

Interesting, what are the average exp boosts? :P

For 99 Agility I recieved 21k xp as a reawerd from doing 27 advanced agility laps

For mining 7 addy ores, I got something like 10k mining exp.
For collecting 15 acursed ashes, I got 750 prayer exp.
I also had to fletch 336 yew bows. When rewarded I went from 70-71 fletching. Dunno how much exp that is.

Items rewarded: 9 uncut dragonstones and 18 raw rocktails.

So as your level is higher and the task is more difficult, you will get more exp. And the items you get should be close in price to what you may have spent on supplies.

Interesting. I guess if I will enjoy doing the task I will do it. Other then that, naahhh. :D

Dont forget the free spin loots ^-^

Would try this, but some tasks are just too tedious and not worth the exp tho :S

I would try this but I was assigned tasks that are retarded, like make 336 Magic SHORTbows. Who the hell actually makes magic shortbows?!? And at 99 fletching? Come-on Jagex… Use logic.

Bot it :P takes 10 mins

But the cost of 335 magic logs and the bowstring, even if you buy it, will the reward from trading it in actually be worth it?

From: -Benny

Except that it would probably take longer to get the magic logs, switch to minimal detail and fixed position, logg off RuneScape, load the bot, bot the shortbows, log the bot off, log back onto RuneScape, and reset the graphics back to your favored settings than it would be to simply do it by hand. :redface:

I wasn't aware you got bonus xp from completing challenges. Still wont do it though, unless I play legit. But that aint gonna happen any time soon.

Runescape now got daily quests, now we only miss battlegrounds and arenas :P

Can't pin quests like you would with challenges. Have to go through 3 laggy jagex interfaces just to see my quest list. Pretty poor update, considering they removed the quest tab to add it in.

The rewards are equal to the market price of the items you traded in, so in general it's only a profit if you get the materials yourself, or if you're lucky enough to get a daily that generates profit.

I see, and I think the quest tab will be replaced with something for EOC

Apart from being incredibly imbalanced modern day pking is a lot more interesting than most games tbh. And the risk/rewards are unmatched.
