RuneScape:Events Team/Trouble Brewing (5 April 2014)

Trouble Brewing (5 April)

Trouble Brewing
This event is a great chance for players to experience this activity and obtain the highly prized "the stuff" as it can be very difficult at times to find Trouble Brewing teams.

Recommended item

 * A good hatchet (hatchets stored on the toolbelt do work, so no need to bring a separate one if you have a good one stored there)
 * A butterfly net or magic butterfly net, to catch the pirate implings easily (level 76 Hunter required)
 * A Monkeyspeak amulet from the quest Monkey Madness
 * Weight-reducing clothing. E.g. boots of lightness or a spotty cape
 * Some method for curing poison as we will encounter poisonous snakes on the way to the activity

How to play
You MUST read this guide before attending if you have never played before because this activity can be confusing and complicated If you are not experienced.

You cannot have anything on your head or in your inventory in order to start the game. There is a deposit box near the waiting area.

This activity requires two even teams, so we will wait around 10 minutes for everyone to arrive and head to the activity area. Right-click "join team" on Honest Jimmy who is standing near the deposit box. He will place you into even teams much like how the green portal in Castle wars works. While waiting for everyone to join you can work on your strategy and assign roles to different team members.

Sabotage Sabotaging makes the game harder for the opposing team while not gaining you anything. For this reason sabotage is not allowed, and may get you removed from the event.

Rewards
After a game of Trouble Brewing, you will earn Pieces of Eight. These can be used to buy rewards from Honest Jimmy who is standing next to a Deposit Box where you can store items not allowed into a trouble brewing game if you accidentally bring any.

Honest Jimmy has a range of rewards: from level 2 clue scrolls to wieldable flags to pirate clothing. Many consider the greatest reward to be "the stuff" which gives ales a 50% chance of becoming mature. This can create huge profits as many mature drinks are high in demand but in low supply due to the lack of people playing this activity.
