 * Who said that? -- 16:54, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Chaos elemental letters. 75.174.233.39 17:09, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I bet that was to throw you off, though. I hope I will have all these other 70+ stats when this comes out! (Dreads if needed 74 RC) 20:32, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I thought the same thing... But apperantly they weren't referncing this, as they also said it will come in 4s... 00:19, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

Hey all, I'd like to say that Jagex never stated that there will be no Grandmasters in the void storyline...the exact postbag quote was this: "The pieces are black and white; like good mysteries they come in fours. But the game is void; there are no Grandmasters here"

This is obviously a reference to the Conquest minigame released some time ago; "the pieces are black and white" refers to the fact that one team is white and one team is black, similar to chess. "but the game is void" refers to its relation to the Void Knights. "there are no Grandmasters here" is there to point out that although it is similar to chess it IS not chess (Grandmaster being the highest international rank one can achieve when playing chess). "like good mysteries they come in fours" may be a reference to the fact that we got 3 quests+1 minigame. I think it all makes sense this way...people just took the word "Grandmaster" as a too straightforward hint about difficulty...and the chaos elemental NEVER gives so straightforward hints.

In view of this, I think the part of the article that states that Jagex said there won't be any Void Grandmaster quests should be deleted Avenger2981 09:00, October 3, 2010 (UTC)Avenger2981

I'm going to clean this up a bit, if that's alright. Formatting and grammar-wise. EDIT: Went ahead and did it. There are some left, I'm sure. Go ahead and revise it further. Lol.(Ryanzorz)

Stat Boosts
I was wondering what stats can be boosted (I know Magic can't) I'm particularly curious as whether Construction can be boosted or not. 10:11, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

-Can Crafting be boosted too?

I don't have an account, so someone else will need to update the main article. Smithing cannot be boosted, I was 69 using a dwarven stout to boost to 70 and it would not allow me to start the quest.

What about summoning and firemaking? --Tsukaji 08:29, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

walkthrough
The walkthrough states i should use my limestone block and hard leather. But not where they are.

After looking just about everywhere i gave up and went to the ge to get them.

Iimestone block, leather and a log are in crates around the black knight place.

I'm reformatting/rewriting it, as people keep screwing it up. Be patient, please. There's no reason the solution to the queen has to be BEFORE the control panel.- (Ryanzorz)
 * Yea, sorry. I don't know what's the order because I haven't done the quest yet. 13:22, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wrote an indepth strategy for the Queen as well as reformatting - (Ryanzorz)
 * __________

Notice for the Queen solution: Ruby bolt specials are capped to 450 damage. Ruby bolting the queen, Diamond bolting/meleeing the defilers, and making swift weapon-swapping is not recommended unless you're quick with the mouse. 122.57.3.26 13:24, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

__________

Added a suggested equipment section and in the process of writing suggested inventory/familiar. Suggestions and additions to the equipment (as well as potential changes?) are welcome! I just wrote what I used/what is logical. (Ryanzorz)

_____________

While I am not responsible for writing it, I would thank the person who is posting waspish remarks about spelling/grammar to edit it themselves as opposed to being rude. Thanks.

Gravestone
When you die against the queen you respawn at your normal point. Your gravestone is outside the portal that leads to the queen. However you can talk to Sir Tiffy Cashien in Falador park and he will teleport you to the portal so you can retrieve your items.86.151.215.168 15:15, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

Choice as to who dies?
What happens if you choose Korasi to live at the point you get the option?

I choose Jessika, Korasi was instantly killed by the drones, Jessica then closed the portal by clearing away to goo or something, she didn't help any further.

Did anyone choose Korasi?

Appearently she does not fight along with you. I heard your choice only affects the colour of elite void top you get. black for korasi and white for jessika.

--- I saved Korasi; it's true that she doesn't fight with you as she's injured, so really all that changes is a little conversation. 21:21, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

I also saved Korasi. She doesn't help you at all due to the fact that she blew up the goo, and was injured. I guess the same happened to Jessika. As for the black for Korasi and white for Jessika, I got gray. I think the elite armor looks pretty cool, dispite being a failed step-up from regular void. The only problem with it I can see is the white not matching the gloves/helms (cept ranger). Gray looks kind of nice with all... They should make it all be transferable to elite, not just body/legs.

Question
Does Daquarius play a role in the quest? I haven't done it yet, but I'm wondering since the "hidden spoilers message" Jagex released mentioned him.

Yes he does, not a major role but hes there. I think his dialogue is particularly funny, had me laughing =)

Decisions through the series
How is the armour affected by your decisions?

Personally i got the grey 'justicar' top through: From the dialogue it seems i made 2 choices that the void knight agreed with, how many 'correct' choices/what combinations gets you the other armours?
 * tricking the pub owner
 * killing the first guard
 * saving the workers *
 * setting the pest free
 * saving jessika
 * letting void knights deal with grayzag *

It is my impression that if you make all morally good choices, i.e. let everyone live, you will get white.

If you kill everyone, lie to the bartender etc. you will get black, and anything in between will be grey.

I made every choice a "lawful good" character would make and got the white top.

Firemaking cannot be boosted too :s

Individual puzzles
The solution posted for the first part of the weight puzzle (switching labels) does not match the solution I had. Is it likely that this part of the puzzle is randomly generated and varies from player to player? From lightest to heaviest, I had 3-5-2-6-4.
