Barbarian Assault/Rewards

Choosing your wave reward type
After each successfully completed wave, the player is rewarded with either Honour points or bonus experience in Firemaking, Mining, or Agility. The reward can be chosen before a wave starts by rotating the reward statue at the north end of each wave's room. Honour points are chosen by default. When choosing bonus xp, you can select the skill or allow it to be allocated randomly.

Honour points can be used to buy various Penance armours, role level upgrades, cosmetic weapon decorations, or random gambled items (the dragon chainbody is among these, although it is rare).

If bonus experience was selected, at the end of a wave you will see a message telling you how much bonus experience you have received and in which skill. The amount of bonus experience is a fixed amount per wave, rather than a reward based on performance. (This was true for the old BA, it should be checked in the rework.)

Earning Honour points
Players can choose to gain Honour points as they play Barbarian Assault. The amount of Honour Points that a player receives is based on their performance (Individual Honour Points), and how well they worked with their team (Team Honour Points), along with the difficulty of the wave. Individual Points are counted as double. It is important for the player to do their role effectively, so that they are not penalised twice (i.e. Individual Points reduction, and Team Points reduction). These are a form of currency in the minigame and can be used to buy rewards.

This is an example of the Advanced Breakdown Points Table for an Attacker:

This is the formula (approximate) for calculating Honour Points for each Role:
 * Note: Maximum penalty of 10 may affect team totals, but individual totals can only go down to 0 (i.e. no negative value).
 * For healers the max amount of LP that counts is 51200.
 * Exploded eggs cannot be 'recovered'. If 3 eggs are exploded, it is then only possible to get a max egg count of 57, rather than the usual 60.
 * Penance killed using the egg launcher are still counted regardless of who fires.

Players may then spend their Honour Points by talking to Commander Connad, who can be found in the Barbarian Assault entrance hall, near Captain Cain. Players may choose to spend their points by either:
 * Upgrading their level in a particular role (Level 1-5).
 * Purchasing Penance armour.
 * Gambling to obtain items, including the extremely rare Dragon chainbody.

Level Upgrade
Players may upgrade the level in a particular role from Level 1 up to Level 5. By upgrading their levels, the player gains extra abilities such as extra damage, higher healing, etc. However, each upgrade requires spending a certain amount of Honour Points. A total of 1,400 Honour Points are needed to obtain a Level 5 role. 5,600 points are required to obtain Level 5 in all roles. Obtaining the maximum level in all roles is one of the requirements needed to get a trimmed Completionist cape.

Abilities gained by upgrading:
 * Collector - increase the capacity of the Egg Collector bag.
 * Healer - increase the healing capacity.
 * Attacker - increase damage on Penance Fighters and Penance Rangers.
 * Defender - increase the lure range for Penance Runners.

A summary of the level upgrades for each role:

Armour
Players may also purchase Penance armour using their Honour Points, some of which is classed as PvP armour. Certain items require the player to kill the Penance Queen. Each time the player wants one of these items, he or she must kill the queen once. The kills do not "stack". If a player is only missing a few dozen points and will probably be able to earn them before their next Queen kill it is probably worthwhile to keep saving up. Of course this may mean leaving one's current team. Points from all roles are required.


 * The Fighter Torso's destroy option has been removed so you may now drop it or pick it up from your grave.
 * The Total amount in points for a Penance armour set (one of any Penance hats, Penance Gloves, Runner Boots, Fighter Torso and Penance Skirt) is 5100 points (All roles added together). When wearing a full Penance armour set, your prayer points will replenish over time at a rate of 30 prayer points per minute.

Weapons
Only one official Penance weapon is available, but the Barbarians will also paint your abyssal whip or dark bow for a small price. Once the paint is bought, it can be used an unlimited amount of times. Note however to re-colour an item, it must first be cleaned with a cleaning cloth.

Insignias
For the price of 5 Penance King kills, level 5 in the appropriate role, and 500 Honour points (total of 1900 Honour points), a player can purchase an Insignia to be used outside of the game in the pocket slot. These have various uses. Note that King kills do stack beyond 5 and do not need to be obtained in the role matching the desired Insignia.

Horns
The master penance horn has a unique emote designed to showcase each Level 5 a player has in a role, but otherwise the horns are now cosmetic (bonus experience is awarded as each wave is completed).

Gambling
By gambling, players may obtain various items, including the extremely rare dragon chainbody.

There are 3 methods of gambling, each with different costs:
 * Gamble low: costs 20 Honour Points
 * Gamble medium: costs 40 Honour Points
 * Gamble high: costs 60 Honour Points.

Interestingly, all 3 levels of gambling return about 1500 gp per point gambled: high gambles are usually worth about 90K, medium gambles about 60K, and low gambles about 30K.

High value gambles can be a good source of Uncut diamonds. 17 are received from a gamble, and as upwards of a thousand Honour points can be obtained per hour, it is possible to get over 100 Uncut diamonds per hour.

The odds of getting a Dragon chainbody are exceedingly slim, seeing as it is a very rare and valuable item. The odds of obtaining it are, as quoted from Jagex, "About the same odds as Zamorak suddenly deciding to give up his evil ways.", which, according to RuneScape mythology, is nearly zero, however, Mod Mat K confirmed in a livestream that the actual rate was 1 in 16,000.
