World Event 1: Battle of Lumbridge (22nd July 2013 - October 2nd 2013)

Overview:

With the beginning of the Sixth Age and the death of Guthix, a massive battle took place in Lumbridge between the gods Saradomin and Zamorak. After 10 long weeks of fighting, Saradomin was victorious and Zamorak was forced to flee and regroup to fight another day.

Getting started:

Battle Counter

Before you can take part in the battle, you must choose a side, either Zamorak or Saradomin. To choose a side you can speak to Kara-Meir who will give you directions to each camp. Once you've chosen your side you will be able to attack the other God's followers on the battlefield (not players, only NPCs) and should you venture into the opposing God's camp you will take damage.
The first stage of the battle is all about collecting the energy of Guthix by gathering Divine tears.

Gathering Resources:

Divine tears are gathered on the battlefield in two ways, through skilling from the various nodes scattered around the battlefield, or from killing the opposing faction's warriors.
For skilling on the battlefield you have 3 choices:

All Divine tears gathered will be placed in your inventory automatically. There is no minimum skill requirement to gather Divine tears, however the higher your level the faster you will gain them while skilling. Members have a daily cap of 3000, while Non-members have a cap of 1320.

Divine tear resources

For killing you just need to find and slay the opposing faction's warriors as they come across the battlefield. These NPCs are non aggressive and will only attack if provoked. They award very small amounts of combat xp, and all Divine tears obtained from killing them will go into your inventory automatically, unless your inventory is full.

While killing the opposing faction's warriors you will also occasionally receive some Sacred metal fragments and on a more rare occasion you will receive an unfinished weapon part, these are used in making Weapon Overrides. There are 3 overrides for each faction.

As you collect more and more Divine tears you will notice that they drop in smaller quantities, starting with five for each harvest or kill, lowering down to one per harvest or kill, this happens because you are only allowed to gather a set amount per day and as you get closer to that cap the rate at which you aquire them will drop. The amount of tears you can gather per harvest or kill can vary slightly depending on if you have any buffs active, either from the Random Events or through items bought from the Quartermaster.

While the majority of Divine tears will be collected within the battlefield, regular activities outside of the battlefield can also yield Divine tears most commonly found in gathering skills they can also be obtained from killing monsters that have charms on their drop table.

The following skills and activities will provide you with a chance at getting some Divine tears:

Note: It will take a much longer time to obtain your daily cap of Divine tears outside of the battlefield.


Depositing Resources:

Divine tears can not be banked, so when you have some you need to hand in to your chosen faction. Head over to either one of the Collection points at your faction camp and deposit your tears.

Depositing

Depositing tears affects three things:

Personal Contribution 10% of what you deposit is added to the faction's total, your total contribution can be seen on the events progress bar on the top of the screen.
Renown The full amount of Divine tears deposited is converted into renown at a 1:1 ratio, renown is used to purchase rewards from the Quartermaster within your faction camp.
Votes 10% of what you deposit is converted into votes, which you can use to Vote on the weekly buff your faction will receive.

As an example, if you deposit 1000 Divine tears you will receive 100 personal contribution, 1000 renown and 100 votes.

World Event 2: The Bird and the Beast (December 11th 2013 - January 21st 2014)

Getting Started:

Battle Counter

Before you can take part in the event, you must first choose a side, either Armadyl or Bandos. Speak to Kara-Meir at the crossroads north of Falador and she will give you directions to each god's camp.

Kara-Meir 2

Head to the camp of your choice, either Armadyl's at the Clan Camp or Bandos' at the Goblin village, and talk to the recruiter there to join their side. You will now be given a token of fealty and can begin to work on building your chosen god's weapon.

Caravans:

The main objective of this event is to ensure that your faction's caravans return safely to the camp with a full load of divine energy. To find the location of a travelling caravan, check the war map at the base of the camp's tower. Once you've got the location, head there and you'll find the convoy.

War map

Follow it until the diviners summon a group of energy springs and harvest these to help fill the caravan. You may also need to defend the caravan from attackers to ensure that it can successfully return to your camp when filled. Alternatively, you can do the attacking by locating a caravan of the opposing faction and making your way there.

Golems

Golem Construction

Golems are mechanical warriors that assist its faction by either defending caravans or attacking enemies for a period of time. To help build a golem for your faction you will need to go up to the first floor of faction camp, there you will find a golem master.

A golem is made up with a head, a pair of arms, a pair of legs, and a body. Each one of these parts has 3 selections for you to contribute towards. Each selection will make the golem act in a different way. Once one section for a part reaches 100% that part will be built, once all 4 parts are built it will leave the base camp and act the way that the parts make it. A golem will stay active for a total of 2 hours before a new one needs to be built.

Limbs are either offensive or defensive (special limbs count as defensive). A golem with more offensive parts than defensive parts is an offensive type, otherwise it is a defensive type.

  • Defensive golems will teleport to any friendly convoy and follow it as an extra bodyguard, attacking any players, golems or NPCs that attempt to interact with that caravan.
  • Offensive golems will teleport to any enemy convoy that is not moving and will attack that convoy starting with a golem, then the bodyguards, then the caravan. Should there be no enemy convoys at a node, the golem will wait until their is. Should a player attack the golem while it is waiting it will defend itself until a caravan arrives at a node in which case the golem will teleport to the caravan.

All golems, regardless of their type, prefer to attack a player that is attacking it, over an NPC and will only follow a player so far from the node which they're attacking/defending.

The following table shows the available body parts for the golems.

Body Part Offensive Defensive Special
Head This head gives the golem increased attacking power and speed. This head gives the golem increased armour and lifespan. This head gives the golem a rallying cry special ability, which aids allies in defending and repairing caravans.

Strategies

Strategy Voting

Strategies provide small changes in your faction's tactics. Each vote offers a choice between very similar strategies.

You can only vote for one strategy, but you can change this vote at any time. The strategy with the most votes at any one time is implemented as the active strategy. Should votes turn the other way, the strategy will change immediately.

The below table shows the different strategies available for voting.

Category Option 1 Option 2
Distance Longer expeditions, construct buildings faster. Shorter expeditions.
Defence Larger caravans that can hold more divine energy. Tougher bodyguards, to defend the caravans better.
Divination Longer expeditions, faster gatherers. Shorter expeditions.
Risk More convoys, attracting more opponent attention. Standar convoy frequency, with lower chance of ambush.

Random Events:

Random events are out of player control and depend only on the location of the caravans. If a caravan has reached its destination then any of the gathering events could occur, if the caravan is still travelling and is at a node then the passing events could occur.


Passing Events

Passing events will happen at a node where a caravan is, all of these events will last upto 10 minutes unless otherwise stated. If enough players take part in the event before the end of 10 minutes then it will end early. Note: You cannot take part in the same random event in the same location twice, you will only be able to gain information if you speak to the same character.

Name Info Player Limit
Treasure A chest appears which can be searched to gain money, the amount given will depend on your total skill level. 10
Golem parts A follower of Sliske appears and will ask if you want to accept golem parts. If accepted you will receive 5% in all golem sections. 20
Truce A member of the Godless appears and will ask you which side the Godless will offer a 2 hour truce to. You can choose either side, regardless of alignment. The first faction with 20 players to request the truce will have further Godless attacks on caravans and buildings stopped. 39
Tricking the Godless A follower of Sliske appears and will ask if you want to trick the Godless into attacking the other faction. The first faction with 20 players to accept this aid will ensure that the Godless will attack an enemy building. If there are no buildings, or a truce in place, the attack may be delayed for up to an hour. 39
Alchemist A wandering alchemist appears and will ask if you want to try a potion. The potion will restore 4,000-6,000 energy for members and 2,000-3,000 for free players. 40
Makeshift banner If the caravan is at a neutral node where there is no building, a makeshift banner will be placed on the node. There is no safe period for this building and it will only have 15 minutes of resilience. N/A
Builders A master builder and a builder will show up at a random neutral node that has no building and will ask if you want them to build a building for your faction. The first faction with 10 players to ask for the building will get a random building for their cause on the node. This event may occur on any node with no building and no other building events, not just the one the caravan passes. During this time the players should not be able to start their own construction on this node and the building will have no safe period. 19
Brigands A brigand boss and a brigand will show up on a node and demand donations before they will allow construction on the node. You will not be able to build anything upon the node unless 300,000 gold is given to them. The brigands will not take less than 10,000 or more than 50,000 from any player and will only take one donation per player. This event lasts for 30 minutes and may occur on any node with no building and no other building events, not just the one the caravan passes. 30
