SRL Archive - OSR News and General

So an idea arose earlier (on the official RS forums) for a few players to work together to complete the Waterfall quest in RS07 as soon as the servers are up. It's become quite popular and, at this point, there's 85 pages of players signing up to take part in it.

RS quick-find code: 317-318-938-64253689

Basically the plan goes like this:

UNOFFICIAL PLAN:
1) Complete tutorial
2) Complete first half of stronghold of security (to ensure you don't die, you only need 5k or less)
3) Go to draynor, talk to Ned and buy 2 ropes
4) Go to Port Sarim, buy any runes you still need. (quest requires 6 air, 6 water and 6 earth runes).
5) Charter to Catherbery for 1k
6) Buy cakes in ardy or buy stews in seers.
7) group up in world 27, and begin.

The advantage of the swarm of players is there's less chance of dying during the quest if here's a mass number of players running through the NPCs; the method is comparable to the current LRC. Upon completion the quest gives:

• 13,750 Attack XP
• 13,750 Strength XP
• 2 Diamonds
• 2 Gold Bars
• 40 Mithril Seeds

That's level 30 in Attack & Strength, a very solid start for the old-school PKer or just a main in general, not to mention a good amount of wealth to put towards some gear/food.

If I'm still awake when the servers are launched I'll be taking part in it. So there ya have it, I figure maybe this would be of some interest to some of you. Have fun!

I have a strong feeling some servers might crash, hope world 27 doesn't!

Haha interesting I honestly read about this in the misc section of bodybuilding.com forums ;) There is a topic with over 2000 replies in there LOL. I have been planning to do this aswell, got quite a few stuff planned hope I didn't overlook anything :)

But.. you can get one hit by the moss giant king or however he is called in the Glarial's Grave when picking up the amulet. Worth it for the thrill!

Very cool, better than camping out at cows.
Hopefully I'm able to get on when the servers go live.

Looks interesting. I might log on tonight just for that :p.

Very interesting ;)

Might give it a go if the servers are stable and people are there, the Stronghold of security was out back then? :O

Yes Danny, it was implemented about a year before the backup.
I bet this raid is why the SoS question was asked about.

Yeah :P, I remember when the other stronghold next to it came out :') (The stronghold of safety?)

Thanks for sharing this! Sounds good! :)

Yep in some minutes. :D

Wow, have fun guys, wish I could be there too. Take lots of screenshots :D

Took 4 tries, made it :)

I died twice, one hit ko from a mossy, then the same from a fire giant. Fun and games

I got one hit by a moss giant and now I have to stop :( Oh well! I tried.

From: Shatterhand
Yep in some minutes. :D

Ah exciting. I'll pop on to have a look

I finished it. Luckily I was waiting up long enough for the servers to come online so the areas covering this quest were swarmed. It was just a massive train from Catherby to Seers to Baxtorian Falls to the Gnome Maze.

Are they still doing this? I would love those stats!

i think so. Got really good starting stats from this. Ty OP for showing us this :)

Yea, thanks! I wouldnt have known without this post! :D Got from lvl 3 to 22 in a milisecond.

Didnt die once either. I was quite lucky :)

Used W327, lots of people doing it there.
Just finished doing this, was a pain.
Died 3 times at the moss giants. Luckily, I got the urn and banked it before going for the amulet.
Well yeah, after the 3rd try, I got the amulet, 3 people died around me meanwhile :D
It was easy at the fire giants, 4 level 30s were killing them, got reward finally!

The waterfall raid was probably the funniest most useful thing I've been a part of. Lvl 3's getting k0d on left and right. I think they still have them going on even 5 hours or so on world 327. I'm not to sure tho.

Good thing I never died. I got hit for a 9 but managed to survive :)

Got hit for:
-7 by hill giant on the way to urn, survived
-9 by hill giant + 1 from skeleton (died next to the amulet chest)
-10 by hill giant on the way to amulet (second try)
-10 by hill giant, good thing I had trained up to 5 def 5 str 1 att and 11 hp

It was even busier when I first got there

Is this still going on?

It is still pretty crowded if you can find the right world, just finished it as a lvl 3 and it is very easy
need a bit of luck though
