Talk:Penance horn

Penance Horn and Stealing creation.
Does the 2X effect stack with the abilites of the sacred clay pickaxe to give 4X?

Oh dear the bonuses to mining... with the brawlers too, I wonder what the total amount of exp gain is now and how fast an item will degrade now? Combined with Star Sprites and Varrock Armour 3.... geez, maybe more people will be getting 99 mining now? RyuTheMerc 17:09, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

You shouldn't see them as X2, and thus not as X4 either. Both give a +100% bonus for a total of +200%.--Tharkon 02:57, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

coding fail?
"Potential has been added to your horn so now: ~Your horn is empty~"

Anyone else got this? --Drizzt1112 23:24, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I got this, the next game it changed to "Your horn has very little potential left." Perhaps they have responses corrosponding to percentage of charge, and you didn't get enough charge to get 1%. Who knows. Soy the Stig 07:59, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Points
Does anyone know how many points (if any) are required to obtain this item? 22:34, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

- Which item? You get the horn for free, you just have to charge it by playing.


 * Penance horn. And if it's obtained for free, then it should be mentioned on the article since it's not clear on that. I would add it myself, but I'm not exactly sure how you get it. 22:43, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Added the info. Will write about how you charge it later.

Recharging the Horn
'''If someone could leave below some data on how many games it takes to fully charge a Horn from fully empty, that'd be great. This is something many players will want to know - just how long does it take to charge this Horn...?'''

I'll get my Horn in a few hours and see how many games it takes to charge it fully, if no one does so, or knows, already :) UNWATCHABLE 00:27, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

-It depends on how many points you get so it isn't a fixed amount of games.--Drizzt1112 07:23, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

'''This is good to know. So if you're a good B.A. player, you'll be rewarded so. This puts less emphasis on getting through games, but trying your best.'''

Thanks :-)! UNWATCHABLE 11:36, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

We need more info on this. I removed a statement saying it takes 6-8 hours because it's going to vary widely based on how good your team is. Some general information comparing honor points received to charge received would be helpful, as well as whether it matters what role you're in. --troacctid 06:24, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm...
Does the horn that you get for free have any charges? -- 17:08, January 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, it will be empty. -- 18:05, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Bonus with Adze?
Has anyone tested if you'll get a firemaking xp bonus when cutting trees with the Inferno Adze? TIA Fxrw 07:41, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Experience.
It doesn't actually state anywhere approximately how much experience a fully charged horn lasts for. Might be useful to add that in for each skill, or if it's the same. 62.56.113.53 14:55, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. I think it would be very useful to know aproximately how long it takes to fully fill the horn and aproximately how much experience it lasts for on each skill so I know which skill I should use it for and whether or not I deem it worth the time it takes to fill the horn. I played through the 10 stages once and only got to "your horn is less than a quarter full." At this rate I'm assuming I may have to play through the 10 stages about 6-10 times before the horn is filled. Has anyone else tested this more with similar results? I'm sure we'd all really like to know. 23:31, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

I recently checked the information on the Master penance horn page and there it explains the formula for finding how much xp your horn is worth. Perhaps you should just work towards getting a Master horn and then you'll know. It only took me less than 4 rounds of 10 waves to get my horn filled. About 35-40 waves total. After the 40 waves total I had an extra 200+ points to spend so I think most people should be able to max out on a role by playing just 40 waves.

Messages while degrading?
While you're using it, does it give any indication of its charge in the message box? I know you can always check potential by right-clicking it, but does it warn you when it steps down a stage?

--It does not give an indication when it steps down a charge, but I'm fairly sure it does announce when it's completely emptied.
