[November 18th, 2022] Vault of War, Chat Duel, and more!

Recommended Posts

Vault of War (New Dungeon)

The vault of war is a brand new, end-game slayer dungeon which can be unlocked by claiming a Vault dungeon scroll. In order to obtain this scroll, you must speak with the Librarian (located in Edgeville) to retrieve and complete the Vault of War: Book of Folklore quest.

The quest requires 175 achievements completed in order to start.

Introduction

Once the quest is completed, you can access the vault through the Slayer teleports. Each monster within the dungeon is a demi-boss, stronger than the God's generals. You must slay them to earn vault keys, which have four different types.

After collecting one of each key, you can spend them to open the Gate of War -- which summons the Riftwalker Beast boss for you to challenge.

Dungeon souls

Every monster you defeat in the vault will grant you Dungeon souls which can be used at the Soul Exchange. They can also be used to purchase Vault of War Perks which aid you within the zone.

Things you can purchase within the soul exchange include:

  • Alchemy shards
    • A new stackable shard! While consuming potions, there is a 50% chance to consume an alchemy shard in your inventory instead
  • Vault daily scroll
    • Unlocks a task that can be repeated every 24 hours, which earns you alchemy shards and a mystery chest
  • Vault keys (1-4)
  • Vault icon (exclusive)

Black Knight Captain

Once you enter the Vault of War, you will notice the "Black Knight Captain" standing at the teleport location.

He offers a variety of features including:

  • Checking the "Vault of War" tasks
  • Viewing and purchasing "Vault perks"
  • Access to the Dungeon Soul Exchange

Ravenous Hellhounds

These hellhounds have the ability to attack with both melee and magic depending on your distance from them. Each of their attacks will smite you by 5 prayer points (which can be reduced by 50% with a spectral / intrinsic spectral spirit shield)

They have no particular weaknesses.

They also have an exclusive rare drop: Fang of the beast

This is a special dagger which deals 2X damage in PvM combat (including its special attack, which is akin to a DDS)

Enraged Abyssal Demons

The attack of these demons will deal typeless damage and also have a 1/3 chance to inflict minor bleeding.

They have a weakness to stab and magic attacks.

They also have an exclusive rare drop: Abyssal gloves

These gloves boost abyssal & darksire weapon damage and accuracy by +10%

Brutal Mithril Dragons

Brutal Mithril Dragons breathe the most dangerous dragonfire in RuneX! Even with the best antifire items and potions, you will always receive some degree of damage from their burn attacks.

They have a weakness to stab and ranged attacks.

They also have an exclusive rare drop: Draconic talon

Hell Demons

These demons have a constant protection from melee, and use both melee and magic attacks. When attacking with magic, their spell will smite you for 1/4 of the damage dealt (which can be reduced via spectral / intrinsic spectral spirit shield)

They have no particular weaknesses.

Rift Walker Beast (boss)

As stated in the introduction, it can be challenged by opening the Gate of War (costs one of each vault key)

This boss switches actively between a standard ranged attack and a magic attack (which heals itself). In addition, the Riftwalker Beast will recoil 10% of the damage you deal toward it (capped at 4).

It has a weakness to range and magic attacks.

It has two exclusive rare drops:

  • Riftwalker's sword: A sword as strong as a godsword, but as fast as a swift blade. It has a chance to restore prayer from damage dealt, and also penetrates through the Divine and Elysian spirit shield damage soak effect
     
  • Riftwalker beast pet: Epic pet with a passive effect, granting +5% drop rate boost

Chat Duels (New Minigame)

Chat dueling is a quick & light-hearted minigame, which allows you to interact with players and earn rewards -- ideally while simultaneously doing other things! 

They are short 30-60 second text based battles with other players. You can participate anywhere, any time, without any requirements. The goal is to defeat opponents using various attack commands, and earn Chat Duel Points by winning matches.

These points can be spent for chat duel upgrades (new weapon commands to use in duels) and in-game upgrades. Your shop has a limited stock, which resets every day.

Chat duel weapon boxes (pictured above) permanently unlock new weapons/perks for chat duels. They may also be used on other players! For example you can purchase one on your main and use it on your ironman.

There is a new Chat Duel channel in the chat area, which you can right-click for various options (entering main menu, shortcut to finding a match, etc). In addition, you can select the "Hide" option so that chat duel messages only display in the chat duel channel (rather than flooding the game channel)

Alternatively, you can type ::cd or ::chatduel to access the main menu as well
