Everything about Revenants

I definitely have a safe spot for revenant hunting. Basically, whenever I feel lost or tired in Runescape, I go hunting revenants.

So here we go: another guide to hunting revenants. This time it is an RSOF topic of the week with tons of detailed info about revenants movements and behavior.

Ghost Ship in the Wilderness

I knew that revenants were coming from somewhere, but I never thought they actually had a home in the Wilderness. Until yesterday when I inadvertently paid them a visit.

Here is what happened.
I was hunting for revenants in the deep wilderness waiting for the Merch's house party to start and stumbled upon a broken down ship. It was marooned on the shore right by the agility course area. Very spooky. I never knew there was a ship there - but it was. And it was empty. I entered through a hole on the side and proceeded to the top desk - still no one. Went down to the hull and then it happened: four revenants exited the hull through the very hole I was staying by and spurted into the wilderness. Two knights and two orcs. Ouch! For a few seconds I was simply stunned. I took a picture, but when I finally rushed in pursue they were gone - undoubtedly on their different patrolling routes.



Still shaking I went to the party and had fun ;-)

Guide to Revenant Hunting

Very useful guide for all Revenant Hunters out there. It also talks about escaping from Revenants, if you prefer it this way.

Doing Treasure Trails without Fear

Very good article (or should I say guide?) about doing treasure trails (clues) in Runescape. If you haven't done much "treasure trailing" and would like some advice, definitely take a look. Note though, that the guide is not a list of shortcuts and cheat-codes, instead, it will help you to actually play this minigame the way it was designed to be played.

One thing I want to especially highlight there is Alex's approach to clues in the Wilderness and the whole revenants issue. It also very relevant to the recent discussion at TruthScape I participated in. The point Alex makes (and I fully support it) is that you should not fear revenants, instead, you should learn how to fight them. Players go into wilderness without food and armor, fearing revenants, and, when they meet them, naturally, the players die. Thus reinforcing their fears even more.
But in reality revenants are not that deadly and, if you learn how to stand your ground, they actually are quite fun to deal with. Give it a try! Wear dragonhide, some decent helmet and gloves, take dragon dagger and/or another good weapon, super pots, anti-poison, one click teleport (just in case), energy pots, good food (maybe also a familiar with some extra stuff) and go on a revenants hunting trip! I promise, after a few such trips the fear will go away and you'll be looking for level 3 clue scrolls in deep wilderness with eagerness and excitement.
You may still die there, but you won't be frustrated. And you won't be afraid.

Good luck!

A Hunter in the Wilderness

Two things happened yesterday. First, I got myself a new laptop and was able to play in HD full screen mode. Second, I went hunting for revenants into the Wilderness. Wow! It was one of the best experiences I had in Runescape ever.

Enormousness, darkness, emptiness and gloominess of the Wilderness magnified by the HD graphics is something to behold. Now add there a thrill of hunting and joy of battle and you'll get the picture.

I started from Edgeville and wandered in broad curves all the way up to the Axe Hut and back killing several revenant orcs and werewolves along the way. So what can I say? If you like soloing and role playing, try it - you can hardly get more complete experience in the game.

Revenant Hunter

Amazing article called Diary of a Revenant Hunter from Alex. Imagine going into the Wilderness and actually looking for revenants! Or how about escorting defenseless clue seekers in and out of the Wilderness?!

Argh, inspired by Alex's diary, I am going there tonight. Wish me luck...
