Vic's the Trader's back in Burthorpe, and is here to exchange your spare Bonus XP for credits, which can be exchanged for much sought-after rewards: skill outfits, slayer masks and more.

There are some new additions this time around:
  • Dungeoneering outfit pieces
  • Slayer masks from the third and fourth batches
  • Four more skilling outfits: Lumberjack, Constructor, Golden Mining, Master Runecrafter
We're also joined by Vic's cousin Ric, who can be found in Menaphos. If you're neck-deep in exploring the Golden City, there's no need to leave to pick up those items!

Vic's trading Bonus XP for credits until 23:59 UTC on the 19th of June, and hanging around for another week after that so you can trade in any leftover credits.

Have fun!

Er waren altijd een aantal te koop zoals golem en ethereal, evenals de headgear. Echt nieuw is het dus niet, al weet ik niet precies in welke vorm ze nu te koop zijn

Re: Vic the Trader Returns

Bericht door Zeekoe »

Maar ik heb het specifiek over INGAME bonus-XP outfits (zoals de golden mining outfit van lava flow mine, of de construction en woodcutting outfit van temple trekking). De enige optie om die te unlocken was door de D&D's/minigames te spelen, niet via TH. De master outfits die via TH zijn geïntroduceerd ben ik grote voorstander fan om die op andere ingame manieren te unlocken.
Door die BXP-outfits beschikbaar te stellen om met BXP te kopen ondermijn je (1) de populariteit van die minigames en (2) de tijd die mensen er hebben ingestoken om ze oorspronkelijk te behalen.
En de golden mining outfit is 250 eenheden/stuk. Dat vind ik best weinig voor de tijd die je er anders had moeten insteken.

Ohhhh. Gotcha.

Dat is wel spijtig dat ze die outfits ook op die manier beschikbaar stellen. Van een bepaalde kant snap ik het wel om die outfits ook op die manier gelijk te trekken, maar vind dan wel dat ze de kosten wel representatief moeten maken aan de moeilijkheidsgraad van het krijgen.

Ik snap de redenering erachter ook wel en het is beter dan dat ze rechtstreeks op TH zouden komen, maar toch vind ik het een vuile streek om bestaand content te negeren om een makkelijkere optie aan te bieden.

Ik had nu al 750 credits van gewoon mijn bxp in verschillende random skills in te ruilen. Dat was bxp die ik toch niet wou en van TH heb gekregen. Ik kan nog 750 credits extra krijgen van mijn Slayer bxp in te ruilen. Dus door gewoon TH elke dag heb ik 1500 credits.
