The Bird and the Beast/Rewards

The Bird and the Beast world event offers players several rewards, most of which are bought with Renown from the Armadylean quartermaster or Bandosian quartermaster. Others are earned while participating in parts of the event, or constructed with Sacred metal fragments. Over the course of the event, Tier 2 rewards will unlock at the beginning of phase 3 (or after 10 days), and Tier 3 will unlock at the beginning of phase 5 (or after 20 days).

The total cost of all emotes, armour, and titles from one faction as well as all abilities is 721,000 renown. To buy all rewards from both factions, players would require a minimum of 1,164,000 renown.

Icon
By joining a faction, the player gains a small overhead icon, matching his or her god's symbol. This can be disabled or enabled by checking "Display allegiance" under the "Adventures" interface. However while inside the event areas the symbol is always displayed. When PvP is enabled, the symbol is larger.

Tokens
When a player signs up with a faction, they receive a bronze token from their recruiter. It upgrades as you "check contribution" or when you equip the token, you do not need to spend any renown to upgrade it. The token provides 10 daily teleports to your faction's camp from anywhere in the world, including from up to level 40 Wilderness.

It is equipped in the pocket slot, and can be used to perform an emote while equipped.

The number of points required means that members will require a minimum of 15 days to acquire a Dragon token, while free players will require a minimum 33 days to reach the same point total.

Warpriest armour
Warpriest armour is a set of hybrid armour which levels up with the player's Defence level, with a maximum of 75. The set has 3 possible stats: for defence level 25-49, for defence level 50-74, and for defence level 75 and above. The stats are updated upon equipping the armour. If a player gains level 75 Defence while wearing an armour piece, they have to un-equip it and re-equip it for the stats to update. Wearing 3 pieces of the armour gives a 5% chance of decreasing the cooldown time of an ability (that takes at least 30s to cool down) by 15%. Wearing 5 pieces increases the chance of this effect occurring to 10%, and the chance is increased to 20% by wearing all six pieces of the armour.

After having bought a piece of armour, the shop will offer a reduced reclaim cost for that piece. This reduced cost will also still be available if you change factions. After the world event, the armour will be available as rare drops from the respective faction's NPCs in the God Wars Dungeon.

It is possible to own both sets of armour, however it is not possible to own two pieces of the same armour part at the same time (in other words, you cannot buy bank place-holders).

When stored in a player-owned house armour case, the display level of the armour always says 25, no matter what the player's actual Defence level is.

Abilities
There are a number of abilities that can be bought from either side of the battle. They only need to be bought on one side to be unlocked.

After the world event, these abilities will be available as rare drops from the Bandos and Armadyl general in the God Wars Dungeon.

Weapon overrides
Players can combine items dropped by NPCs at battle sites with 1,000 sacred metal fragments to create cosmetic overrides. If one chooses to switch sides with one of the weapon pieces obtained on that side, it remains with them upon switching. After 17 December 2013, a few additional methods of obtaining sacred metal fragments were added.

Sacred metal fragments have a CHANCE of being obtained from:
 * Divining energy at convoys.
 * Healing convoy members.
 * Killing a bodyguard.
 * Killing an ambusher.
 * When a convoy despawns after taking too much damage.
 * When helping building a tower for your faction.
 * When a building is completed.
 * When an enemy's building is being taken down.
 * When an enemy's completed building is destroyed.
 * When any degradable weapon is depleted on the battlefield.

Emotes
Players can purchase unique emotes from their quartermaster. Emotes of both factions may be owned at the same time.

Titles
Titles can be purchased from either Armadylean quartermaster or Bandosian quartermaster. The titles from each faction have a separate entry in the customisation interface and are displayed in different colours (Armadylean titles in pale blue and Bandosian in green).

Other titles
These titles are rewarded for destroying an enemy's caravan. They can also be gained via building structures and killing other players. You have to defeat a minimum of 20 players, build at least one structure, destroy a caravan, or destroy an enemy structure. It should be noted that just because a player completed one of these tasks, they still may not get the title. It seems the title is rarely and randomly awarded at this moment.

When changing factions, these titles are locked again. You can only have the title of the faction of which you are currently a supporter.

Experience lamps
Experience lamps can also be purchased with renown. Lamps are available in each size, from small to huge. The experience given by a lamp is roughly comparable to the experience a similar sized prismatic lamp would give.
