Daily Challenges

The Burthorpe Imperial Guard needs you! Members of all levels can now take on Daily Challenges: varied goals which, when completed, grant a healthy chunk of XP in the skill of your choice.

Each day, you'll be assigned a new Daily Challenge that you have the skill levels to fulfil. You can find out what this is through the new Noticeboard interface (more on that later).

These could be anything from culling the dagannoth population or brewing super prayer restore potions to cooking pies or growing watermelons. You can get hold of the materials you need however you like, but you'll need to complete at least the final stage of the process yourself. For example: if you're tasked with fletching yew longbows, you can buy the strings and bow shafts ready-made from the Grand Exchange and then put the bows together to complete the Daily Challenge.

When you're done, head over to Burthorpe and report in with the quartermaster for your reward. As you'll have to hand in any items that you're required to make, you'll be reimbursed with a challenge mystery bag, containing goods equivalent in value to any materials you had to use. On top of this, you'll get a hefty XP reward in the skill related to your completed Daily Challenge, as well as a spin on the Squeal of Fortune. Up to five of your most recently assigned Daily Challenges will be saved if not completed, so you can catch up if you miss out on a day or two.

Overcoming the thousands of Challenges that Gielinor can throw at you for sack-loads of XP and all expenses paid?
Challenge accepted!


The Noticeboard

Gielinor is a vast place, filled with wonders, perils and riches aplenty, so sometimes the hardest thing is knowing what to do next! That's no longer a problem, with the introduction of the Noticeboard - the one-stop interface for all of your RuneScape adventures.

The Noticeboard - accessible anywhere via its icon in the bottom-right of the screen - brings the new Daily Challenge system together with the existing Quest Journal and Task Lists (now called Achievements) in one handy interface. For members, there's also a 'Minigames' tab, which directs you to Minigame or D&D content that's accessible to you, of the type that you want to play. To top it off, we've also included a 'Featured' tab, which picks out the best content that RuneScape has to offer that's suited to your levels, so you're never short of awesome content to experience.

Have fun!

Not sure if I like this...

I want to do what I like to, not what Jagex tells me to do.
But maybe I should check it out and see how good the XP-rates are


And: Nooo! The fast 35k agility xp a day is gone!

[Varunky]

I really like this better than the old system. And now we can access it through our own player hud I also like the fact that you have to turn the items/resources in to get the reward. What this possibly does is remove items and money out of the game and open the markets up a bit more (that is, if people just want to rush through the tasks rather than get resources themselves). I plan to try this out when I can log in after class

EDIT: I don't think this is them telling us what to do. They're just suggestions of activity with the promise of differing rewards attached if you decide to do them. You're always free to ignore this update.

EDIT2: It's like another Distraction & Diversion.

Ignore my first post!

These challenges are epic. I had to do a c6 floor in daemonheim. I did a fl1. It took me like 5 min and the reward was 160k dungeoneering XP.

Cutting 30 magic logs = 25k woodcutting xp + 19 raw rocktail and 169 coins (lvl 93)

Getting 190 death/law/nature runes in runespan = 26 701 rc XP (lvl 82)

16 mithril ceremonial swords = 16 934 smith xp + 32,304 gp + 16 grimy torstol (596,016 gp) (lvl 84)



(Yes, I'm using this post as a log.)

I'm glad this is finally here! This should veer me a bit off the track of the questing kick I'm having right now.

Edit: I'm missing my dedicated Quest tab, though. A lot.

[DJ Phox]

this songs like a really good update.... that'll prob get nerfed

[Claudia]

Bumming that the daily challenges are members only (was to be expected, can't complain), but can't wait to try out the noticeboard!

[kassandra]

I'm having fun with these challenges, and the exp rewards are pretty awesome <3

[DJ Phox]

i REALLY don;t like the lack of the quest tab... why again did they remove it?

[Justic3 U]

Great xp rewards. I love this update.

[DJ Phox]

does anyone know if they are putting something else where the quest tab was... i can't understnd why they would remove it and leave that blank space there...

[Varunky]

The quest tab is now part of the Noticeboard area. Does seem like a lot of clicking to get there.

i know, but WHY did they remove it?

[Caj]

Other than a good number of marketing promotions (Squeal of Fortune, Sizzling Summer, Solomon's General Store, etc.), it seems that all Jagex does anymore is pack in more features that give out more experience.

[Risegold]

Free XP. +Free Xp for a reward.
That is all I have taken from this update and the majority of Jagex's new updates recently. It seems as if they think that in order to obtain/keep members they must make the game eaiser and cheaper.

[Varunky]

I feel that this would be dead content if the rewards weren't nice, though. (makes that kinda sad)

I agree, if not for the nice chunk of exp I wouldn't do half the things it gives as challenges.

[Claudia]

All there needs to be is an easier way to get to the Noticeboard...

Also it doesn't seem like you can pin quests, which is kind of a bummer.

[screwybruce]

I want the quest tab back like it was. clicking over and over to get to them sucks. Daily activities? What is this summer camp? Frak lagex on this pile of dog.......

[cory8675309]

I agree with last rant. I like this update, except for one thing.... The quests should remain on thier own tab.
