Talk:The Curse of Arrav

Rewards
Anyone know what the rewards are?
 * No, but the rewards listed currently are completely false, they make no sense. The only thing currently known is that only 1 quest point is rewarded.

Come on guys, stop mucking the page up! Until the rewards can be proven, don't make a guess edit! Couchodyj95 16:20, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The rewards listed now are the correct ones, I've completed the quest about an hour and a half ago. ArnoudX 16:42, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Yea, and I'm checking every once in a while to remove the vandalism, --kazypoo1 16:24, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Asking Ali for what?! That is false, who would put that? --User:WingedMouse

Djpailo‏, stop your constant vandalism, you are really spoiling the hard work people are putting in to this page! Couchodyj95 16:27, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Djpailo doesn't seem to have made any bad edits to this page, glancing through his contribs. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  16:31, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * As far as I could gather, the updates I was getting regarding this vandalism were editted by Djpailo‏. These were the constant youtube links being shown and replacing the walkthrough and the 'talk to Ali, ask for sex.' Sorry if I am mistaken. Couchodyj95 16:37, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

If you go on Runescape website > Manuals > quests > The Curse of Arrav the spoilers say that the quest reward is "Like Arrav, the rewards are cursed! Please check back tomorrow - we have our best exorcists, soothsayers and alchemists working on the problem. " which probably means that the rewards are glitched.
 * It means that the rewards aren't going to be shown by Jagex to give it a suprise for the eager questers who complete it first. They will be shown tomorrow, probably.

Look i removed that ali for sex thing, and when it became semi protected i was happy, at least i dont have to worry about it now, --kazypoo1 16:34, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm very new to this scene but here's a screenshot of the rewards hosted by imageshack, sorry it's not cropped or uploaded here, something was wrong with it when i tried. :(

 * Thanks Jay. I couldn't bother making a Screenshot... ArnoudX 16:45, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, yeah I got the information on the rewards from Zybez. Obviously we can't us their screenshot though.

I didn't add those youtube links either??

I've also been editing the main page with basic quest info, nothing too well written out, just to give an outline on what to work with, sorry. :) JaydenB 17:06, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

boosts?
does anyone know if you can boost for quest reqs?

Read the guide, it says you can use boosts for quest reqs.

Climbing Boots
They are NOT needed for this quest. 173.79.93.183 16:59, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Jaden, why did you accuse me of putting youtube links on the page and then vandalise my own page? --Djpailo 17:21, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

The climbing boots are needed for the quest, only if you don't use a Trollheim Teleport though - so that's something they should mention in the item requirements :)Vespire 17:50, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

I moved and edited the climbing boots and trollhiem teleport so they are together, but maybe, since you must use one of these options, they should be moved to required item, instead of recommended items? Rand14 19:15, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Typo!
Just thought I'd bring it to all of your attention so you can put it in the trivia section, there's a typo on the Notes (A-Z) item in the text "He still outlives those outdated Zaorsian ideals" (Zarosian has been mispelt) ^^

New member btw :P

About the Sequel Mentioned...
Paul didn't directly say there was a sequel, he said that there was more to come. I think the part about the sequel should be replaced with that, and that it could mean that there could be a sequel, but whether it's in the Mahjarrat or the Avarroka quest series (i hope i spelled that right) or both is unknown
 * Of course there is going to be a sequel. The quest ended too abruptly to not get a sequel.-- 20:13, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Quest Series
I think that the quest series should be changed be cause when reading the news article Paul clearly states that this quest is part of the defender of varrock series while this says it is part of the tale of muspah series.
 * Its both. 80.222.213.219 20:51, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

From Runescape itself:
 * "This quest is a continuation of the Mysteries of the Mahjarrat quest series. It’s also a sequel to a previous quest I wrote - Defender of Varrock.


 * Paul
 * RuneScape Content Developer"

So it should lie in the Mahjarrat quest series. Rand14 01:05, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Factual correction
It needs to be made clear that you need to go to the terminal in order to figure out the code to open the door. Many people are having trouble figuring this out. Thanks.


 * I edited/added some information for that section. Hope that helps. Lil cloud 9 22:24, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Added a new reward picture in proper quality.

This page should be moved!
This page should be moved to the page with the title "The Curse of Arrav" the 'O' should not be capitalized, as show in-game.
 * It was capitalized in the knowledge base. 00:58, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

If you look that the screen shot of the rewards above, or look at the In-game listing of the quest you will see that the 'O' is lowercase.

Additional Research
I think this should be moves to after the Reward Section, since it is not done during the quest. Rand14 01:00, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it would be nice. I just read it and before the final paragraph it said "......talk to Ali the wise to finish the quest." You can move it to the Reward section if you like. 01:04, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Nightgunner1, Please discuss your reasons for deleting other peoples work, without discussing on these pages first. Rand14 04:52, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

"You now have all the levels..."
Ok, I just got 64 Ranged, and the skill guide says "you now have all the levels needed to complete The Curse Of Arrav!", however, I need 66 Thieving along with 64 Mining, still. How can this be? I read on Zybez that all but Summoning are boostable skills, so why am I getting this message if I could boost Ranged in the first place? -- 03:41, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Tempoary Boosts
I vote for adding information on when do they work. I haven't started the quest myself, but it looks like the strength, agility and ranged are for doing some grappling, so I'd like to know if I can boostthrough this part, or even start without having the requirements.
 * Like all quests, you must have completed the quests which are a requirement. The first skill you need is Mining, for getting through the pieces of rubble in the tunnel. Hope this helps. . 13:29, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

This page should be moved! (2)
Alright for the second time! - This page should be moved to the page with the title "The Curse of Arrav" the 'O' should not be capitalized. Look at the recently added articles section on the front page of both (RuneScape) and (RuneScape Wiki), lowercase 'O'. And if that fails, look on the forums for the actual news post by Paul the 'O' is lowercase. I moved this page once this morning, and now it's been moved back...I will move it again later if this in not fixed. I honestly could care less if I get kicked of the Wiki for this reason. Why give misinformation to your viewers? Look at other quest example "The Legacy of Seergaze." the 'O' is lowercase!

I see that I'm still being ignored, note - I did NOT create the page "The Curse of Arrav" I simply want the page moved to the title to be correct. The Admin's have told me to look in the quest list in game, which I have, yes it is capitalized in there! I have supplied 4 examples of where it is lowercase, and the way it should be, but the Admin's of this site could care less what an normal user such as myself thinks. I'll list the examples of where it is lowercase.

1.) The Main page of RuneScape. 2.) The Knowledge Base page for the quest. 3.) The news post by Paul in the Recent Updates forum on the RuneScape website. 4.) Numerous screen shots of the Rewards scroll from the quest showing the 'o' as Lowercase.


 * I'm the admin who deleted the page Camoninja12 created ("The Curse Of Arrav"). No one is ignoring you, Camoninja. I'm not being elitist or ignoring you in any way. And it is not true that the administrators here couldn't care less about what you think (see RS:AEAE). I wasn't even aware of the fact that you had previously posted on the page. In any case, the Main page/KB have been known to provide names different from the quest name in-game, but so far, we've always stuck with using the name provided in the quest list in-game. Thus, we are using the quest name provided in-game (in this case, "The Curse Of Arrav"). 14:32, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Identical Notes ~ Thief Requirement Redundancy!
I have a questaccount, MM level 15, with whom I check bugs(for reporting)/redo quests/etc. . I only have Thieving 64, and I forgot to take my Thieving Booster with me. I discovered it, and heck, felt annoyed. However, due to my stubborn attitude, I decided to try a theory.

I asked my friend for his code, which turned out to be IIAC. I used my strips for IIAC, and it WORKED. I actually made the thieving requirement for myself redundant, thus anyone without the thieving requirement could do it! This may be considered a bug, but I think that it shouldn't be called so. My Main Account, Arnoud X122, had the code BHCE. I also heard about a friend of mine, who had the exact same code. There might be up to around 20 codes, I guess. Should it be worth noting them for those without the thieving level, even while you have 2 tries before getting stunned? It would limit them to 10 stuns, and thus make the thieving requirement completely redundant! ArnoudX 13:32, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I'll confirm the AFIG since that's what I got 18:39, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Mine was BFEB. [[File:Zaros Statuette.png]] WWTDD? [[File:Zaros Statuette.png]] 18:39, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks Guys. Seems like a lot of B's so far. I'm thinking there are about 30 possibilities... If this is correct, a player with a Thieving Level far below the Thieving Requirement might be able to do it in 15 runs! ArnoudX 20:02, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * My code was "AAIH" User:Crystalis178 20:34, 23 July 2009 (EST)
 * GAFG is mine. I can see why Jagex would do this, it prevents it from spelling certain words. 02:05, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I got "BDDB" Quipeace 9:35, 24 July 2009 (GMT+1)


 * My code was CABE. -- 08:57, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * BBAG was mine, I believe. --67.195.4.112 09:07, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Mine was E-A-D-C! Vespire 21:45, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * All right, I'll add it to the list for ArnoudX 21:54, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I seem to remember having BGFI as my code. --ItsMrPants 07:54, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Mine was BEID, I believe -- --MacGyverJr 08:34, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

I had HEBF. I first thought it was HEBE, but that was impossible... . 12:10, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

My code was GABA. 13:02, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

My code was CCCI BigBob2007 13:40, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Mine was FEAF. I wrote it down and also thought everyones was the same as FEAF sounds like THIEF which is in essence what I was. --82.2.53.42 16:26, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

My code was CFBG

Mine was HEEB

I had FHBH as a code.Mr. Zurkon 13:37, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Mine was GEFC -- 14:56, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Mine was IGED

I updated the count again. 03:33, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

My code was IDBD; still have it from my quest notes, yes I take notes. Rand14 04:56, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Another new one - I had GCCB Cloud Shaper 09:34, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I got a non-listed code CGIH - Hope ur research goes well

I am not 100% certain, as I did the quest several days ago, but I believe my code was BEGG-- Long Live Armadyl   22:31, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
