Talk:Bork

Bold textWhen you kill him a second time do you get the 5k slay exp again? or a lesser hp based amount? 12:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

No its 250exp, gotta start reading the fine print +P -- Fofo   22:48, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

You don't need 44 slayer to kill bork. i did it at like 34 slayer. if i edit it out i will probably get banned for vandalism. its happened befor. just saying do u dont have to get 44 slayer just to wear dagon'hai =D

as you can see I put this on right after the update when it was impossible for me to have done it a second time, but just about possible for someone who was out at the time of release to have killed him again, it is them who I was asking. =p 12:38, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't Bork be added to Category:Bosses? He's a huge, unique monster with good drops after all.

It's likely that the name 'Bork' is simply a fusion between 'big' and 'ork'. Trivia? Sol Levante 15:37, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Since Bork is 'summoned' is it possible to use the Protect from Summoning prayer and avoid some of the damage? Lakor 20:49, 27 March 2008 (UTC)


 * No, use Protect from Melee to protect from Bork. The other damage is magic damage from Surok Magis who stands around occasionally casting spells. Using Protect from Melee and armour with high magic defense seems the best option. 13:54, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Test of Black mask on Bork
Although the official Jagex manual only mentions the Black mask being effective against assigned slayer tasks, it does appear to be effective against Bork.

To test this theory, I've recorded my hits when wearing the Black mask and when wearing the Helm of neitiznot. I only recorded my hits when I used the Saradomin Godsword special.

All other items and prayers were kept the same during the test. The other items included Karils body and legs, fury, dragon boots, barrows gloves, ring of wealth, skill cape, dragon axe (not using special), rune defender. Prayers were protection from melee and piety.

As can be seen from the results, the Black mask does seem effective in increasing both attack and strength (damage). 13:59, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

What have you been assigned? Stormpride 21:39, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

I did some statistical analysis of the results, here are my calculations: mean difference in sample = 7.75 standard deviation of difference = 23.8 Null hypothesis: mean = 0 Alternate hypothesis: mean > 0 z = (7.75 – 0) / (23.8 / sqroot(20)) = 1.46 P-value = P(z > 1.46) = 0.0721 This means there is a 7.21% chance that the difference we’re seeing is just a result of random chance. There's a statistically significant effect from the black mask; wear it. -- He The One 04:17, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Gotta love stats. 09:59, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Although the calculations yield such results the lack of a significant sample size and ambiguity and lack of control makes the calculations not significant in the slightest. Next time you want to try and use statistics to prove something do your homework on how to gather statistically significant data son. ~Marvelous~

Bork is Tarns twin with armor
Look at both pics. I swear the look like twins. I am referring to Tarn Razorlor.--Degenret01 08:46, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Razorlor is a (undead) Human, Bork is an Ork. Resemblance? none. Stormpride 21:39, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

If you had bothered to look at Tarns article you would have seen I meant his mutant that you fight. Don't be difficult on purpose, it serves no ones interest.--Degenret01 13:27, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Changed?
Four orks, the mage doesn't start till a bit after they come.--86.139.159.60 09:51, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Maybe you got him with Bork in the way. Yesterday he did not get a shot at me for about the first 4 rounds, today he was not missing any turns.--Degenret01 12:02, 31 August 2008 (UTC) Na, there isn't as such in the way, the first time I went the mage was on the far side, with bork and at least 30 squares between us. I had four last week, three this week. Mage was a bit more random than normal (every 4 rounds or so). 10:21, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

D&D?
Hi! In the Behind the Scenes of November 2008 Jagex says this:

Is this actually a Distraction and Diversion?--. 19:04, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I think they meant a repeatable event, like Tears of Guthix. WWTDD? 14:19, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Fighting Bork isn't an DnD because the start locations of DnDs change, this is what sets them apart from repeatable events like Tears of guthix, for which the start loactions stay fixed Chao.master 22:01, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I think we can safely say that moving isn't necessary for it to be called a D&D. In Pyre Need D&D stays in one spot and Jagex calls it a Distraction & Diversion. --Sylor 0 17:04, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

defence
Although Bork has pretty low especially for his lvl it says otherwise in the guide. I changed it before but someone changed it back. If I'm correct he has a def lvl of someone who got lvl 70 combat. Please change this. ty, Jeroen(j-g)

Added template(s)
I added the template for the following reasons: Many of the content is false. For example it says that black mask or slayer helm help while its been confirmed multiple times by Jagex that it doesn't!. Also it says that it has a high defence while this isn't the case.

Thank You in advance, Jeroen

Ok, first, sign your name instead of typing it so we know who we are really talking to please. As far as Jagex saying otherwise, I will gladly accept that it was simply coincidence for both myself and Amaurice to separately come up with the mask working on Bork. But I would like to see these statements from Jagex please. Our tests lasted a few weeks to be as certain of our data as we could be. This was not a case of one day with and one day without the mask.--Degenret01 09:52, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Factual correction
I just killed Bork yesterday for the first time with a slayer level of 42.... You don't need 44! But I'm not editing the Bork page yet because I'm not sure of the minimum level required...

~Kinto111~ 10:14, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

The only reference at ALL to ANY level requirement I found is here : Update:Chaos Tunnels: The Hunt for Surok which quite clearly states 44. The KB says nothing on the matter. It may be that Jagex changed it at some time, but most likely I think it's a bug. ~Artwich 13:37, 8 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hope it's not a bug rofl.. Anyways, I'm kinda confused.. The miniquest infopage (on teh wiki)says nothin abiout 44 slayer required, but the bork page says he needs 44 slayer.. It may well be that 44 slayer is required after the first kill during the miniquest...-- 10:09, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

you DO NOT need 44 slayer i killed him with only 41 slayer look me up on hiscores if u want (72simpson)

You don't need 44 Slayer, at least for the first time. I killed at 43 slayer and got the level up from him. This should be changed. Mythomagic5 06:42, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Race
In this article it says Bork is an Ork, like his examine states. But a bit further down, at the Trivia, it is speculated he is an Ourg, Fayrg or Raurg. On other pages too, like the Ourg page, Bork's name has popped up. I think this is unnecessary, as Bork's examine already says "That's one big Ork...", and I believe it. Hippodo 3113 10:34, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * As of Juli 18, this info has been removed. Hippodo 3113 20:32, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Race
In support of Hippodo 3113's post. Since there are such things as Ourg, Fayrg or Raurg bones as evidenced by looting coffins in Jiggig then the fact that Bork drops big bones should be proof enough that he is an Ork. Ankylos 1254PM EST 08/15/2009
 * Orks drop bones. Your reasoning proves he's not a ourg, fayrg or raurg; exactly what is said above. 19:35, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd like to point out while that reasoning is true it doesn't prove it, General Graardor used to drop big bones as well until an update switched that to ourg bones he theoretically could be one of those based on looks but that's all. Until than he'll be refereed to as an ork as nothing but his examine gives away what race he could be. Chaos knight 10:14, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Bork
http://www.bork.com/ -- 21:06, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Western wall safe spot no longer worked for me after yesterday's update. Also, mage's attack turns seemed either more unpredictable, or simply more quickly paced than usual. I've been killing Bork every day for well over a year now, and the timing has always been 6 crossbow attack turns per magic spell, with slight and unpredictable delays at the beginning of the instance, and again shortly thereafter when the second instance (the legion summoning) begins. I have 99 prayer and 84 ranged, and have been easily killing Bork without a sip of prayer potion or a bite of food for almost the entire time I've been doing it. I had to teleport out yesterday (at 6hp and under ranged attack from the legions) after eating 6 sharks and using my Enhanced Excalibur special attack twice, because it took me too long to successfully lure him back to the northern safespot, and the mage's attacks were not timed the same way anymore.
