Unlock a host of fantastic new devices in a big tech tree update for Invention. Complete Invention tasks and discover new Dwarven turrets, sneaky Goblin hunting traps and so much more. Also, check out the fantastic griffon outfit in Solomons Store, continuing a mini-season of animal-inspired gear.

Goblin and Dwarven Tech Tree Update

RuneScapemembersonly.

Requirements

Both tech trees unlock at level 40 Invention. You will then need to talk to Drorkar to align yourself to Dwarven tech or speak to Oldak to align yourself to Goblin. Alignment provides faster progress, but you can still unlock the devices of the other tech tree.

Progress down the revitalised Dwarven and Goblin tech trees by completing tasks via new notice boards that have sprung up in the Invention Guild, Keldagrim Palace furnace room and Oldaks lab in Dorgesh-Kaan.



Completing a task will reward you with either Dwarven or Goblin currency which you can spend to progress through the tiers of the tech trees, unlocking fantastic new blueprints for devices as you go.

Tasks can be accepted via the Invention noticeboards. You can have 5 active at any one time. New tasks generate every 12 hours and typically include things like handing in components and parts or building basic items and gizmos.

There is no longer a 20 level penalty when unlocking devices on the tech tree that you are not aligned to. However, alignment to a particular tech-tree will now provide 50% more currency when completing its relevant tasks e.g. if you align to Goblin tech (because youre sick and twisted) then completing Goblin tasks will earn you 50% more Goblin currency and boost your progress.

Hand in your completed tasks and earned currency at the noticeboards to take the next steps in Dwarven and Goblin technology!

Please note - discovering all of the tech tree blueprints will be a requirement for the standard completionist cape from Monday 30th May.

Wat een belachelijk slechte update. Beide de main update (waarom de helft van de troep die in die tech trees zit weer locked?????) en de patch notes..

[Mystery]

Ik ben meer verontwaardigd over de inspiratie die je amper krijgt tot 99 en de release van zoveel blueprints alweer. Dingen van 95 en 99 zijn nog steeds locked voor mij gezien de drop van inspiratie behoorlijk laag is geweest bij levels.

[Chris]

[Joost]

Dat vind ik nog wel een redelijke update tbh. Die spells zijn al zo oud en zijn overpowered geworden sinds EoC.
Ik zit meer met de d(r)eadnips en Barricade nerf.

[Lars]

Inspiration is wel echt een probleem inderdaad, je hebt nooit genoeg inspiration om dingen te unlocken.

[Zeekoe]

Ze zeiden ook dat de inspirarion die je reeds gebruikt had voor dingen uit de tech tree refunded werd, mooi niet dus.

[Dexter]

Ja, ik heb er totaal geen gekregen. :/ Hopen dat de algemene cap wel verhoogd is, want ben bijna 120 en wil niet opeens zonder inspiration zitten op het einde...

[Joost]

Dat hele inspiration gedoe is sowieso 1 van de meest nutteloze dingen ooit die ik heb gezien op dit spel. Leuk bedenksel, maar totaal verkeerd in de praktijk gebracht. En het is broken as fuck.

[BurnedUDown]

Je krijgt weer inspiration door te skillen, echter krijg je bijlange niet zoveel terug als dat je gebruikt had voor de update.

[Lars]

Ik heb bij de screenshot competitie van lunagang nog mooiere screenshots gezien trouwens.

[Zeekoe]

Ik heb bij de screenshot competitie van lunagang nog mooiere screenshots gezien trouwens.

Dat niveau ligt dan ook een stuk hoger.

[Ricardo]

Ik kan nog steeds niet mijn mining accumulator vinden.
