Guthixian Cache

Guthixian Cache is a Divination-themed daily Distraction and Diversion. It requires the player to hop into an Energy Rift, found at any of the wisp colonies (except the Pale wisp colony) which appear for 10 minutes at 3 hour intervals, to collect memories of Guthix. The soundtrack that plays within the cache is Invaders Must Die II.

There are no skill requirements for this D&D, but more points can be acquired at certain level thresholds.

Warning: If a cache appears and you hop worlds or log out, it'll count as if you already done it for the current duration. If a lower populated world is preferred it is better to enter before hopping.



Subduing
To subdue automatons, players can select the "Transform" option available by clicking one of the four Statues of Cres located in the four corners of the room. Players will then assume the Power of Cres which transforms the player into Cres and grants the ability to temporarily subdue NPC automatons. There are three types of automatons that can be subdued.

Players can only stay transformed for 60 seconds until the Power of Cres fades or if they click on the statue again. Once players return to their normal state, they must wait another 60 seconds before assuming power from a Statue of Cres again.

Note: If players log out or hop worlds, and reenter before the cache ends, they will remain in the arena but Cres cooldown will reset and will be forced to wait another 60 seconds.

Converting
To earn points for converting memories, players must first grab a memory from any of the deposits on the walls. The player must have both hands free to be able to carry memories, and may only carry one memory at a time. Once the player has a memory, they must run to the centre of the cache and deposit the memory into the unstable rift without being attacked by an active automaton. If a player runs into an active automaton during their journey to the centre of the room, the automaton will swipe the memory out of the player's hands and cause them to lose it. There are three types of memories that can be converted.

Once a memory has been picked up, the player cannot drop or un-equip it; it can only be lost from either being attacked by an automaton, converting it, changing into Cres, or if that cache ends.

Abilities
Three abilities exist to use while in the cache.
 * Double points: All points acquired will be double their normal amount for the next 24 (12 as Cres) seconds. 1 charge will be gained for every 5 memories converted or 10 automatons subdued.
 * Immunity: (regular form only) Active automatons will be unable to cause the player to lose their memory for the next 12 seconds. 1 charge will be gained for every 10 memories converted.
 * Subdue all automatons: (Cres form only) All current active automatons will be subdued. 1 charge will be gained for every 20 automatons subdued.

The Double points ability has a separate charge count depending on which form the player is in. For example, a player may have a charge for Double points while assuming the powers of Cres, but when they return to normal the Double points ability may have a different amount of charges. Using one of the Double points abilities will not affect the amount of the other.

Strategies
For players who prefer to convert, it is possible to use the Surge and Escape abilities to move faster between the unstable rift and memory deposits. Being in a stream of other players helps evade active automatons as they can only target one player at a time, reducing the chances of being attacked compared to running alone.

If there are not many other players during a cache, it is usually faster points to subdue as many automatons as possible than converting memories. This could also be considered if there is an abundance of active automatons. Try to change forms in turns with other players to maximize the points of subduing automatons.

The double points ability is best utilised when the player is about to convert a memory, or before subduing several automatons.

Rewards
Rewards include both Divination experience and three temporary passive benefits.

Experience
The experience reward is given according to level and the amount of points obtained during the cache. Needless to say, 100 points will give more experience as compared to 50 points. At level 50, the experience reward is around 15,000 experience. At around 75, it jumps up to around 30,000 experience. At 85, it reaches 50,000 experience, and at 99, it is possible to obtain 73,400 experience in a single game. The game can be played as many times as desired however the maximum points earned in a day is capped at 200.

Benefits
These last for (points/5) minutes, to a maximum of 20 minutes. The timer for these will continue to deplete when logged out and will appear as this icon:
 * 10% chance for double loot from divine locations, at no extra cost to the player's gathering limit. Upon occurring, you get the message: ""
 * 10% chance to save a charge from a sign of the porter
 * 10% chance to convert all memories at once while training Divination, this can happen with both enhanced experience and normal experience options, and still consumes the normal amount of energy for enhanced. Upon occurring, you get a unique animation.
