Talk:Summer's End

FFS, people, quit using shorthand! I tried to fix some player-slang mistakes (like ea for each, xp for experience), and I got FOUR edit conflicts. I see that it's been corrected now, but still.
 * Cool it Stink. Most of them are new to editing, and in the excitement of the quest, forget to follow basic editing guidelines. The more experienced editors should help out by correcting these mistakes, rather than screaming "Quit using shorthand!". My two cents. No offense to you, Stink.  14:12, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

err buying albino rat pouches on ge max price and also do you need 55 prayer to do the quest because i only have 50....
 * You may not buy or sell items through the wiki. And I'm pretty sure that 55 prayer is required. Also, I'm just frustrated yet again by what's been going on today at school, so sorry about the lashing out at newbs.
 * Got in before me Stink. The wiki is NOT a place to solicit trading and the level 55 requirement is quite clear on the wiki, on the rskb and in-game. -- 15:12, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Elixirs for the shields
Anyone have any ideas? Some people are calling it the 'draconic visage' of Revenants. Sir Revan125 15:04, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

i think now the elixirs that go with the spirit shield to "upgrade" it are going to be a very rare drop from the revenants... or there could be a minigame based on the quest with them as a very high price... the prices on the ge for the high leveled shields are worth the try to go and kill revenants if they do drop it...

Albino rat pouch
I'm speculating here because I haven't reached this part yet, but the article already says "Any Blue charm pouch". It would be in the players interest to make the highest possible blue charm pouch that has a negligible seconds cost. For example, I might choose the Karamthulhu overlord pouch (Glass fish bowl) or the Spirit jelly (a jug of water) This strategy would waste less of the players valuable blue charms by turning them into more experience.78.147.96.83 15:33, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

I am HATING this quest :/ I CANNOT lure it? Is albino the only one that really works? Vynergy 15:58, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry i wasnt aware of that rule and what i ment by do you need 55 prayer is that will boosts work and for what part of the quest do you need it?

I can't seem the lure the effing Spirit beast either. The mine doesn't seem to be in its wandering radius; every time I stand near it, it ignores me. I used an Iron minotaur, if that helps. Is the Albino rat really the only one that works? 00:42, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

You can indeed use any blue charm based summoning pouch. I used Karamthulu overlord pouches. Recive 13:39, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Protection Prayers?
Do any of the protection prayers work against the beast when it is attacking? It would be useful if the walkthrough noted this one way or the other. John.m.astell 20:11, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

I have 3 questions:

1. What protection prayer could/should i use? 2. Is it possible to teleport out after one room is complete? 2. Why the requirement for 55 prayer (just curious)?

I would be grateful for the answers, Thank you in advance.


 * 1. None of 'em seemed to work during the quest.
 * 2. Yes, or you could just walk out
 * 3. To bless the graves, I suppose. Sir Revan125 22:31, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much, Sir Revan, i will try it right away (or at least in the morning as it's night here)

Not a problem. ;) Sir Revan125 23:10, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

what i ment before
it may say you need 55 prayer but would 50 prayer and a boost work?
 * I'm pretty sure you must have level 55 prayer, not just 55 prayer points. Using the Oo'glog spa or an ancient mace to boost your prayer points doesn't work. If it does - it shouldn't, in my opinion. Even if it does, the moment yoou bless one grave, correctly or not, you would lose around 17 prayer points and be unable to bless another until you boost your prayer again. So, its better to just get the extra five levels be done with it.
 * If you have 50 prayer, could you try? Thanks in advance 21:05, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

ok ill try its possible a boost may work because you dont need the prayer level to start the quest and a boost worked in defender of varrock for smithing!(sacred forge part)

WAHHHH!!
I just can't find a way to get the last 5 cursed willow logs to lit the last pyre(i got killed after the 2nd pyre before i could lit the logs)...anyone here have an idea of what to do? The Beast's attacks just get faster than my woodcutting! Please somebody answer me, what do I do to chop the last 5 cursed logs? I get killed more and more and more....etc....times!-- 06:47, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Use the highest level axe you can (I wouldn't recommend dragon though, unless that's all you carry and you use a ring of life incase); get a higher woodcutting level; keep running aroud; use high level food (sharks or above). Thats the best I can come up with, sorry. 14:27, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! it helped me alot, but the food i've used was monkfish lol. But i've completed the quest with your advices! thanks! 20:15, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I know you have finished now, but another way to get this part done is to chop the roots while the beast is under attack from the spirit, that should give you enough time to gather 3-5 roots depending on your woodcutting level and axe. ~wylsey~

Really that hard?
It states on the article page that it is one of the hardest quests out there, but really, it is short and the beast for all its trying doesn't really hit that hard or accurately. It states there is a high probability of dying, but I am only level 75 without summoning and managed the quest quite easily without ever getting below half hitpoints (i am only 70hp btw).

This quest disapointed me, it had been so built up as being hard and ended up being short and relatively easy, compared to quests like Contact, the final battles of Recipe For Disaster and Mourning's Ends Part 2 this quest was not a challenge, I personally do not believe it warrants being placed into the same difficulty tier as the quests i just mentioned.

That being said, I love the Spirit Shield reward from it, it looks cool and as a ranger it gives me nice defence while not restricting my range ability. ~wylsey~


 * It all depends on your method and your luck. Everyone I've spoken to about this quest seems surprised that I did it without dying, and how easy I found it. One of my friends died many many times during it, and he was combat level ~120+, whereas I did it at barely 100. And now you've done it easily at level 75 - its down to tactics for this quest, not combat level/skills, since the beast is fought indirectly (of course higher Hitpoints helps).
 * And yes, the spirit shield is great, but the corporeal beast is too stong for me! Remember to sign your comments with ~ . 14:51, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * 2 deaths during an attempt on the pyres so far and not got one done. I'm level 99 woodcutting and 95 hitpoints. This quest is more about judgement and ability than statistics as the hits can be far higher than the max heals. Add to that the uselessness of both prayer and armour, yes this is tough. I didn't die on MEP2 or RFD...

Did the first bit ok though :P King Runite1 19:37, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
