The One Where They Add Fishing
Hello adventurers! It's been a few weeks since we launched Dowdun Reach, and we're celebrating our 1-year anniversary with you in style!
This one's reel good, so let's catch you up on what you'll be hooked on for the next 99 levels! Cast your eyes over this.
Fishing
Hooray! We're launching Fishing today with a dozen fish types to catch. Have a chat with the Wise Old Man in Brynmoor (a www, it's good to be back - simpler times, eh?) to start your quest and get Fishing! Starting out, it'll be just a net and a dream, like the noobs over on the mainland, but as you progress, you'll climb the levels and start reely getting into it.
bitf0x edit: To start the quest, craft a fishing net (which requires coarse thread be unlocked; Flax + Spinning wheel). This will then prompt the quest with the Wise Old Man in Bramblemead Village. From there, to unlock your first rod, level up to Fishing 3!
Fishing launches with 3 new skill spells for you - Fishing Frenzy, Infernal Rod and Fishnado. No prizes for guessing what that one does.
Fishing Frenzy: A fishing node springs to life with a significantly increased number of fish in the water.
Infernal Rod: Infuse your fishing rod with the power of fiery anima and cook your catches on contact.
Fishnado: Plunge a storm of magic into the water and catapult a hearty helping of fish into the air, and right into your backpack. Might need to wash your pockets out after this one, it'll start to smell.
You'll be able to cook (and burn!) fish to stock up your storage with plenty of fish. In the event that you pocket a Pristine Fish, you'll be able to craft a decorative Fishing Trophy out of it, and proudly mount it on your wall! They don't sing though. Do we say "Sorry" or "You're welcome"?
And, of course - reaching Level 99 in the Skill will allow you to craft the Fishing Skill Cape. Time to get hooking and cooking!
Quests and Activities
We've added a selection of new quests that channel the classic RuneScape feeling that you've been asking for - we heard you!
Added three new quests: Cook's Assistant, Room With Garou and Animal Magnetism.
Cook's Assistant: Slopfinger, the overworked Goblin, is desperate to make an impression. A cake should do the trick. The reward for your work is a recipe for a Victoria Sponge Cake that provides a buff for 5 minutes that reduces your fatigue drain rate!
Animal Magnetism: You're a long way from Draynor Manor - but Manktongue the Goblin has found an advert in a bottle with a recipe for something he calls the "Arrow Grabba". Find the materials he needs, get the parts and you'll be able to craft something you can place on your back which will... accumulate arrows you've fired in a radius around you.
A Room With Garou: The Elder Garou has lost his eyesight with age. Looking to see out the later years of life in a quiet, tranquil place, the Garou is looking for help from a young pup with the know-how to build a home. They can't tell if you're a Garou or not, but they trust you to help them.
We've also added new activities for you to get stuck into:
Scarecrow Scavening: Find a strange Scarecrow pointing out something - follow the clues, piece together the sketches and slowly unravel the mystery. Completing the trail will next you the new Farmer Hat. Dashing!
Buried Treasure: We've got a few more secrets stashed
