UPDATE: We are aware of an issue with the XP rates of this update, and will be implementing a fix within a few hours.



Honour the gods with statues of their chosen champions in this monthly Construction Distraction and Diversion. Build up to four statues a month for plenty of Construction XP and your choice of Prayer or Slayer XP per statue, as well as a wieldable chisel that boosts your Construction level.



God Statues (members only)

In this new Construction Distraction and Diversion, you'll help Copernicus Glyph - master sculptor - to build up to four statues each month at sites around Gielinor.

There are four statue sites around the world: in Lumbridge, Taverley, Canifis and Gu'Tanoth. At each site, you'll have the choice of building a statue of any of the following: Commander Zilyana, Juna, Kr'il Tsutsaroth and General Graardor. It's up to you which statue you build and where, but tempers in the area may flare if you make a controversial choice!

When you've made your choice, you'll follow Copernicus's expert directions to build scaffolding, from which his latest masterwork can be wrought. Once you've determined the correct number of pieces to be used and arranged them in columns of the right heights, the statue will be completed and you'll earn a hearty chunk of Construction XP. The quality of the statue that you build - and the XP reward - will depend on your current Construction level.

If you have chosen a statue that's appropriate to the area in which you're building, then you'll have the opportunity to pray at that statue for a Prayer XP reward. However, if you've built a statue that ill fits the area's faith, then you'll earn the ire of one of the local god's more militant followers. Drive off the fanatic who attacks you and you'll earn a Slayer XP reward. In this way, you can choose to receive either Slayer or Prayer XP for each of the four statues that you can build per month.

At the start of each calendar month, any statues you've built will be destroyed, and you'll be able to complete the D&D four more times for further rewards. Build any one statue four months in a row (in any location) and you'll earn a wieldable chisel, in the colour of the statue's related god. When wielded, this handy tool can be used to boost your Construction level by 1 - great for making some headway in your player-owned house!

So, what're you waiting for? Prove to Copernicus that you're a chip off the old block and earn yourself some rocking rewards!

Beating Marmaros's kill count in the Thok Your Block Off saga has been made easier.

So you can choose between slayer xp or construction?

no, u get cons xp, you choose between slayer and prayer after. slayer xp is less than pray i think. i got 2410/statue @ 86 slay. not sure about pray, im 99.

That's why I don't do D&D, no point just xp waste

Did everyone's scripts reload smart ok right after the update (for those running scripts when the update occurred)? The fix worked perfectly for me :)

Nice, can SMART now reload past updates. That's neat :f:
I'm a bit more interested in updates nowadays because my main is p2p again. Looking to gain as many total levels as possible this month :P This doesn't really interest me though :stirthepot:

Most D&Ds are worth doing if you don't have 99 in the skill your getting xp in.

got 8k+ slayer exp per statue definitely worth it. also got 11k+ con exp/statue. each statue is about 1 minute including the fight…. about 80k exp total in 5 minutes once a month.

So you can get a cool 50k xp+ per hour doing this over and over again. Is it like runespan or do you have to wait like player owned ports?

read OP. once a month and it takes 5 minutes to do all statues with teleports to each…

So is this even worth it?

yes

I'd say all weekly/monthly d&d's are worth doing. They make them only do-able once a week/month for a reason ;).

Wow looks cool! Nice update for some free xps!

Does the chisel stack with crystal saw?

The crystal saw is an invisible boost, and the new chisel is a visible boost, so it should be stackable.

I got 25k con xp and 15k slayer xp per statue. So 60k and 100k con xp for free for 10-15 minutes work is pretty dang good ;)

What are your slayer levels?

Mid 90s

Wonder how much level 60 slayer would get lol

Wrothless content was worthless. Jagex needs real updates, not a crappy DnD with a crappy reward.

Don't think I'll bother with this update, just like many others.

D&D is actually very important for the legit player that can't spend lots of time into playing. D&D make the first few hours you spend has much more value in each week or month.

high xp once/month < low xp on a repeatable task.
And in the BTS video, they said there would be no requirements. but guess what? THERE ARE!
at 89 slayer, i was getting about 12k/statue and 15kish cons at 80.
According to wikia, the slayer/prayer is equivalent to a medium lamp from sof and the construction a large lamp.

From: Wikia
For completing the statue, players will gain Construction experience as if they had just used a Large XP lamp in that skill.
For praying at a location-appropriate statue, or slaying a fanatic at a location-inappropriate statue, players will gain Prayer or Slayer experience respectively, as if they had just used a Medium XP lamp.
