Talk:Dominion Tower

Whos do you want to appear?
What bosses do you think will be here from the release? Ma? im hoping for Nomad at the very least. That way we can practice certain straegys to our hearts content. what do you think? Primal Link 15:51, October 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's the ones we picked from the few polls they made. Like Elvarg...and I forgot the others. I think Nomad was also picked though. 15:53, October 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * well if they say around 50, and i have done my fair share of quest (300+ qps) i think they may include every boss monster. 13:52, October 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Elvarg and Nomad were chosen to reappear, all the other polls came out as "None of the above" 14:07, October 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * What do you mean practice certain strategies? I thought the quest bosses were only unlocked in the tower if you've already beaten them. 03:53, October 25, 2011 (UTC)

if its being released after runefest that means its being released on october 31...which is definitly not right.
 * They said "Last week of October", but they also said that people attending RuneFest get to play it on test servers as a sneak peek. 21:29, October 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the exact wording was "very end of the month", and as there's only one day left in the month after runefest, where the sneak peek is being given, it's pretty obvious when the tower will be released. 13:53, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

Dominion Tower Location
With the bot nuke update today the world map was also updated. To the west of the Bandit Camp in the desert there is now an island with a large circular area which I think could be the tower. Like the media image it is surrounded by sand and water which also suggests this. Does anyone else agree? 22:33, October 25, 2011 (UTC)

Just pointing this out. This small concept art seems to have been left off the page for some reason despite being in the Oct. BTS.Xhanort7 19:19, October 26, 2011 (UTC)

Dominion Tower Face
I think it may be alive. Xhanort7 19:27, October 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Now that would be cool indeed, if it could move! But if it is alive, it'll probably be a stationary sort of alive, like Spirit Trees. 04:18, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

Battlefield
I'm having a discussion woth someone on the runescape forums, he sais the battlefield seen on the picture with the demon is an Zarosion symbol, i think it isn't. Can someone please say i'm right? or aren't I?:p
 * The Zaros symbol has an X in the middle. The pattern on the floor doesn't. 22:08, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

Rewards?
What rewards has everyone gotten so far? I have gotten xp book, adamant bolts, dagganoth bones, runite bolts, adamant bolts, blood runes, soul runes, death runes, big bones, rune arrows, adamant arrows, scorpion meat and the dom potions. Shinydarkrai94 16:59, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

Wow I did the chicken special event and got really crappy xp for wasting a full inventory of saradomin brew =/. Shinydarkrai94 17:18, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

I've gottten a Dominion crossbow (90 Range, I can't use it), upgrade to the Dom medallion, dragon bones, big bones, Dom emotes unlocked, in addition to the stuff listed above. I'll check again when I get back to the game, but that was about it. JAGZIMA 21:31, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

Yea I've gotten most of those. I've also gotten a journal page after completing endurance. Has anyone else gotten other pages from other modes? Shinydarkrai94 21:33, November 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I did a handful of the climbing rounds, and I haven't gotten any journal pages at all yet. Do they appear in your inventory or reward box, or do you pick them up off the arena floor? Are they easy to miss? Eager minds are listening with sharp ears and baited breath! JAGZIMA 21:54, November 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sadly, I haven't got one yet. Even with 165 boss kills, not one journal page yet. 03:22, November 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm I have no idea. I thought it was related to the fact that I got my first dominion weapons when I got my journals. The first one I got from the reward box after beating 30 rounds of endurance. The second I got from the reward box after getting past round 15 in climber mode. Still not half of the pages though so it might just be random. Shinydarkrai94 03:25, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

Comment - Just listing what I got from 84 floors in Endurance (519,442 DF):

• 62 Scorpion meat

• 30 Dom super antipoison (full)

• 45 Nature runes

• 30 Rune arrow

• 11 Dagannoth bones

• 20 Dragon bones

• 5 Dom super prayer (full)

• 10 Runite bolts

• 1 Super restore (full)

• 10 Death runes

• 10 Adamant bolts

• 1 Adamant arrow

• 1 Blood rune

• Xp book

• Dominion crossbow

• Dominion crossbow

Got the options of:

• 98,834 Attack

• 92,910 Strength

• 86,674 Defence

• 47,702 Prayer

• 90,416 Magic

• 73,580 Ranged

• 92,910 Constitution

From the Book of XP (Xp book). Other useful information may be that I only used magic during the Chronozon floors, ranged on the Dag Mother/Gelan, melee for rest of floors. Another contributing factor might be levels in the combat skills, being 98, 95, 94, 95, 99, 90 and 97 respectively. 03:22, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

Orb tricks
The ceiling of the arena itself seems to be rather high, while the spectator's circle has a lower roof. The "quit" chain, (the one with the hook on it) seems to extend upward the highest. Going out side the tower, you can go up and down the walls, but if you go too far you plunge into an abyss. Anyone tried a sextant yet? ;) JAGZIMA 21:45, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

Strategies/Data
It seems to me that the fastest/most cost-effective way to get dominion points is to play endurance mode focusing on melee, but with ranged and magic armor in inventory (for the dagannoth mother and chronozon). You can get about 50 wins per hour which, for me (combat lvl 137, maxed melee, 99 Magic, 95 Prayer, 93 Ranged, 95 Summoning) yields about 300k dominion factor per hour. Again, based on my levels, this yields around 60k melee exp or 30k prayer exp per hour, which is hardly "generous". Is everyone getting around 6k dominon factor per win in Endurance mode after round 30, or is it based on combat lvl/quest points?

Also, I've fought over 200 battles in Endurance mode and never gotten Nomad, Decaying Avatar, or any other difficult boss (the hardest have been some of the RFD bosses), so I'm thinking they only come in Climber mode.

The drop rate for a Dominion crossbow seems to be about 1/30 or 1/40, based on 5 crossbows gotten. I'll update once I unlock a Dominion sword & staff, but I would assume they have the same drop rate.
