Barbarian Assault/Rewards

Choose Reward Type
Rewards from Barbarian Assault are either Honor Points or charging a Penance horn/Penance master horn with experience to be used on Mining, Agility, or Firemaking.

For more on the experience reward see Penance horn.

Earning Honour Points
Players gain Honour Points as they play Barbarian Assault (Minigame). The amount of Honour Points that a player receives is based on their performance (Individual Honour Points), and how well they worked with their team (Team Honour Points), along with the difficulty of the wave. Note that Individual Points are counted as double. It is important for the player to do their role effectively, so that they are not penalised twice (i.e Individual Points reduction, and Team Points reduction). These are a form of currency in the minigame and can be used to buy rewards.

This is an example of the Advanced Breakdown Points Table for an Attacker:

This is the formula (approximate) for calculating Honour Points for each Role:
 * Note: Maximum penalty of 10 may affect team totals, but individual totals can only go down to 0 (i.e. no negative value).

Players may then spend their Honour Points by talking to Commander Connad, who can be found in the Barbarian Assault entrance hall, near Captain Cain. Players may choose to spend their points by either:
 * Upgrading their level in a particular role (Level 1-5).
 * Purchasing Penance armour.
 * Gambling to obtain items, including the extremely rare Dragon chainbody.

Level Upgrade
Players may upgrade the level in a particular role from Level 1 up to Level 5. By upgrading their levels, the player gains extra abilities such as extra damage, higher healing, etc. However, each upgrade requires spending a certain amount of Honour Points. A total of 1,400 Honour Points are needed to obtain a Level 5 role. 5,600 points are required to obtain Level 5 in all roles.

Abilities gained by upgrading:
 * Collector - increase the capacity of the Egg Collector bag.
 * Healer - increase the healing capacity.
 * Attacker - increase damage on Penance Fighters and Penance Rangers.
 * Defender - increase the lure range for Penance Runners.

A summary of the level upgrades for each role:

Armour
Players may also purchase Penance armour using their Honour Points. Certain items require the player to kill the Penance Queen. Each time the player wants one of these items, he or she must kill the queen once. The kills do not "stack". If a player is only missing a few dozen points and will probably be able to earn them before their next Queen kill it is probably worthwhile to keep saving up. Of course this may mean leaving one's current team. Also note that points from all roles are required.




 * Note: It is now possible to pick up your fighters torso from a grave, as the destroy option has been removed and you may now drop it or pick it up from your grave.
 * The Total amount in points for a Penance armour set (one of any Penance hats, Penance Gloves, Runner Boots, Fighter Torso and Penance Skirt) is 5100 points (All roles added together). When wearing a full Penance armour set, your prayer points will replenish over time.

Weapons
With the 19 January 2010 update, you now can buy weapons with your points.

Gambling
By gambling, players may obtain various items, including the extremely rare Dragon chainbody.

There are 3 methods of gambling, each with different costs:
 * Gamble low: costs 10 Honour Points
 * Gamble medium: costs 20 Honour Points
 * Gamble high: costs 30 Honour Points, and requires the player to have killed the Penance Queen at least once.

Please note that the odds of getting a Dragon chainbody are exceedingly slim, seeing as it is a very rare and valuable item. The odds of obtaining it are, as quoted from Jagex, "About the same odds as Zamorak suddenly deciding to give up his evil ways.", which, according to RuneScape mythology, is nearly zero.
