Rewards

Some (imo) positive news on rewards, Jagex has learnt from the previous world events and is planning to make all rewards obtainable regardless of which faction you join. Based on the Tuska event twitch stream ([1]) at ~27:00 onwards:
"But we wanna make sure that no matter what faction you represent, you'll be able to get all of them. So, wh- so people aren't going to have to worry like faction hoppin' 'n stuff to make sure they get all of their rewards this time. You can just kinda take part in the event and represent whichever faction you want to represent (...)."
Hurray! IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 11:35, January 28, 2015 (UTC)

Information Added.

I'd like to know where are these extra information coming from? Like the ariuts and so on, I am sure the Airuts are stronger if we are fighting these beasts with out slayer requirements. Adventurerrr ^Talk 04:38, May 6, 2015 (UTC)

It's in one of the livestreams; don't remember which --Iiii I I I 04:51, May 6, 2015 (UTC)

While I agree with most, from livestreams i seen, those creatures are not stated a stronger form of Ariuts, just Tuska's Beasts, the Image should also be re-added and that information removed.. Adventurerrr ^Talk 03:11, May 7, 2015 (UTC)

Source. Please check thoroughly before removing information. --Iiii I I I 16:45, May 7, 2015 (UTC)

I am putting the Name that they gave the beasts, I looked thoroughly on the source you given, (could be me) but i did not hear or see any image of the beasts, the image of those beasts were given on another live stream with a name. You set me up to a Source time where I assume around there it says it, but of course, if you could quote or put it on a few second ( I am hard of hearing irl) That might help. Adventurerrr ^Talk 17:04, May 7, 2015 (UTC)

At 22:12, Chris L says: "And then up here we'll have some Tuska... sort of um, super Airut mobs for combat trainers", so it might be that the new Airut and "Tuska's beast" are the same thing. Could you link to the livestream where you heard their name mentioned? The only source I can find for this image is this thread. --Iiii I I I 20:07, May 7, 2015 (UTC)

Here Source There u go the name, and texture looks. Adventurerrr ^Talk 02:24, May 8, 2015 (UTC)

I watched that stream while expanding the article and I don't remember seeing it. What is the timestamp? --Iiii I I I 04:57, May 8, 2015 (UTC)

Post for Posterity

Around 19:00 game time, Sunday 24 May 2015, an event message was broadcast to all players that read the following: "You sense something is not right, as if this could be the beginning of the end."

Players reported seeing "a demon" flash in the center of their screen as the world shook. Thatemooverthere (talk) 19:19, May 24, 2015 (UTC)

Oops, didn't realise I was editing a talk page. Salix of Prifddinas ^(Talk) 20:42, May 24, 2015 (UTC)

It's okay, your edit to my post was good, so I added it back. I can't believe I forgot to add the year... Thatemooverthere (talk) 03:08, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

It's actually not okay, I shouldn't have edited your text as it's a talk page and you're allowed (within boundaries) to write what you want. Salix of Prifddinas ^(Talk) 07:10, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

Point Caps

So the 1000 points per day cap from running the D&D is fairly obvious - but there's a limit to how many fragments you can get from (s)killing on Tuska's back, as well. The primary cap seems to be on XP, but once you cap on XP you can't do anything there anymore except killing the slayer beasts, and I'm guessing you won't get any more fragment drops from them after that point, so it functions as a cap on fragments and points as well.

Doing agility on non-sparkling posts seems to have a cap of ~700 points or 140 frags (sparklies give more xp per tick, but they don't seem to give an increased chance at frags, so sparklies give a lot less frags per day). Anyone gotten more than that from agil? What about wc and slayer? Sorator (talk) 21:59, June 1, 2015 (UTC)

How are people getting 1k per day?? I gained 75% of it on first try, then subsequent tries 100% twice and never reached over 999. --Jlun2 (talk) 02:28, June 2, 2015 (UTC)

It seems there is a bug currently, that turns the cap into 999 if you did not get 100% on your first daily attempt. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 03:50, June 2, 2015 (UTC)

I'd take this discussion to Talk:Tuska fragment; I already posted some twitter replies from Mod Deg. The fragments are random, but more likely on 'active' nodes; and the cap is based on number of xp actions. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 03:52, June 2, 2015 (UTC)

Winners

Someone should find the sources or the reference that confirms which faction wins each day of the event. --Commander Ajikan 01:40, June 2, 2015 (UTC)  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ajikan1 (talk) on 01:40, June 2, 2015‎ (UTC).

WE = World Event Zants (talk) 11:23, June 3, 2015 (UTC)

By the way I am gonna close this just because this is the most simple but kinda necessary tip. To put on end at this, that World Event Tab can be found on the Community Button in the Main Menu on Legacy Mode or in the Main Toolbar on the RS3 interface. I know I was being redundant but some people may not know this at first. --Commander Ajikan 16:37, June 6, 2015 (UTC)  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ajikan1 (talk) on 16:36, June 6, 2015 (UTC).

tuska mask

its a bit odd that not one npc on tuska responds any diffrent when wearing a tuska mask. User:Heavyoak/Signature 02:25, June 2, 2015 (UTC)

Well... maybe later on? Or perhaps these will: http://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/374o1h/new_we3_airut_ranks_on_bestiary/  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Leon Art (talk) on 09:07, June 2, 2015 (UTC).

So far I've only seen those being spawned by JMods. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 09:09, June 2, 2015 (UTC)

Contribution

So the good news: just about any actions you do contributes to your score (the bar at the top of the screen.) So if you are on the island with lightning, hammering a lightning post will draw in anima just as if you were getting energy from a lightning creature. If you were on the prayer island, burning tentacles. If you are on the island with the plants, cutting roots, sprinkling the crushed herbs. Even mining the meteorites will work in your favor. (Note: the Meteorites will occur on ALL islands, mining them will gain progress towards ALL islands. So at least mining them will help if you're having a hard time.)

The bad news: There are specific tasks that will grant you larger chunks for progress, but require more setup. On the island with lightning, luring the sentient lightning to the center and then charging the center will grant far more to your progress than hammering a post. On the island with prayer/ghosts, killing a ghost and performing the last rites, or finding the lost soul and taking that to the altar grant an immediate 3%, while burning the tentacles is slow. On the island with the plants, your best reward to progress is returning seeds to the center plant. --Deltaslug (talk) 16:00, June 2, 2015 (UTC)

I get 6% for returning a seed to the tree. I get NO energy for chopping roots on that same island. Personally haven't seen fallen rocks on the tentacle nor lightning island. Burning the tentacles I only barely make it to the cap before time runs out. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 16:21, June 2, 2015 (UTC)

Skilling

At Agility 99, 32.2 experience from standing on the charged spines. 3.2 experience if not charged. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 18:28, June 2, 2015 (UTC)

Experience on islands

51.6 exp from chopping Vines on the tree island. 81 exp for returning a seed. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 15:26, June 3, 2015 (UTC)

49.3 experience from crushing 1 herb. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 15:27, June 3, 2015 (UTC)

And 98.6 experience per charge on the agility islands. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 18:30, June 3, 2015 (UTC)

(Roughly) 835 Dungeoneering experience for the Chip-off Gatestone obstacle at the agility islands at Dg 120. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 15:11, June 4, 2015 (UTC)

Island of Lost Souls

Presently, the article seems to indicate that you must either return a lost soul or defeat a tormented soul. I do both with no problem. You capture the lost soul in a relic, fight a tormented soul and bring it to the Last Rites circle, then run back down to the graveyard and to the altar to release the lost soul. Is there some kind of benefit to doing one or the other instead of both at the same time? --Moldrum (talk) 06:32, June 3, 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps nobody had tried doing both yet (and comment on/edit the article afterwards). I would assume doing both will give you more energy for a little bit more time spent on one 'interation'? IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 06:47, June 3, 2015 (UTC)

Agility islands

15 siphons/charges per active runestone, equalling 3% energy. Both these islands as well as the tree one, 5 mines per fallen rock. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 18:28, June 3, 2015 (UTC)

Easier?

3:46 am UTC today, and Tuska is just about beaten for the day... Did Jagex cave and nerf Tuska? IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 03:46, June 4, 2015 (UTC)

Changes

Tuska forum Q&A has happened; answers are spread all along the thread, first one to note, they're considering allowing more stabs per day to give reward currency (as a diminished rate): http://services.runescape.com/m=forum/forums.ws?396,397,222,65632328,goto,7 (Mod Deg) IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 04:01, June 4, 2015 (UTC)

They had already mentioned part of the world event would be permanent, but another confirmation that Tuska will be accessible after the event: http://services.runescape.com/m=forum/forums.ws?396,397,222,65632328,goto,8 (Mod Chris L) IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 04:01, June 4, 2015 (UTC)

Results

Maybe add a note for the results section that the first day was not a full day it was more like a half day.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 139.218.65.80 (talk) on 05:13, June 4, 2015 (UTC).

That is a rather minor note in the grand scheme of things, and not unsurprising, considering RuneScape never updates at midnight UTC. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 05:16, June 4, 2015 (UTC)

Ambient sounds

I noticed one of the background ambient sounds while on Tuska's back is the "Slow Down" (formerly) Unidentified sound, albiet it slightly sped up. It's neat little thing but I'm unsure if it warrants being added as a point of Trivia. 82.110.99.111 10:29, June 5, 2015 (UTC)

Ingame post update 8 june --Jlun2 (talk) 10:15, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

it's a bug. report it TAWE (talk) 10:39, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

Yeah it's a bug,might work if u relog in the game, but if that's the case, reporting itt helps, as i saw they updated teh game, so all might be good. Adventurerrr ^Talk 14:38, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

new currency amounts

I got 250 reward currency at 100% on my second tuska kill.  I'm thinking we should make a table on the main page to show the reward currency obtained at each kill, but we obviously need more data first.

04ismailjj6 (talk) 11:28, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

I concur, the data should be collected. I do wonder what happens if you get 750 in two runs, do you get 750 + 250 + whatever the remainder is for the 500 leftover points, or does it just cap at 1000 and start giving diminishing returns on the next run?

I'm unsure whether this should be added to hidden updates or not; it wasn't in the news, but JMods did mention it in the forum and reddit Q&A. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 11:34, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

I got 1000 before update, then 250 on each of next two runs.  The increased cap was mentioned in the patch notes, just not with any details (all too normal). Spooky Xero (talk) 11:56, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

They did say in the qa/reddit thread that the returns would be diminished twice, so it might go down again to 100 or something. 04ismailjj6 (talk) 12:03, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

Third time also 250.  Spooky Xero (talk) 12:24, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

Just got 50 on my fourth run, did you get the same? 04ismailjj6 (talk) 13:39, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

I gave up :)  Also looks like getting 250 for third "after-1000" run was a fluke probably related to capping before the update since the official figure appears to be 50 for that run. Spooky Xero (talk) 22:54, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

Mystery solved

Official information from Mod Deg via Mod Matthe [2]:

"Your first 1,000 points work as before. If you have reach 1,000 points, your next two stabs will be capped at 250 points. After that you can continue stabbing her for up to 50 points.

Additionally, every time you stab Tuska, the amount of time you can spend training agility/woodcutting/combat on her back is reset. However, you are now limited to 80 fragments per day."

Geotim90 (talk) 13:47, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

So if it's only 80 fragments a day, have they reduced the fragment spawn rate? or add a message letting you know about the cap?

I haven't gotten any fragments in 10 minutes of skilling, so I guess I've hit the cap, but there's no message in the chatbox saying anything. 04ismailjj6 (talk) 13:50, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

The fragment part is unfortunate, considering I was averaging around 105 fragments per day so far... IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 13:52, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, it seems oddly low given the previous numbers obtainable. OTOH, we can keep getting the currency from stabbing Tuska, but 50 per run only equates to 10 fragments per 15-20 minutes, which is slower than it would be if we could actually collect fragments. 04ismailjj6 (talk) 13:58, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

If the description is accurate then it implies that if you got say 95% (950) on your first run, you could only get 5% on your second (50) and then 250 on the next two, which is also unfortunate. Spooky Xero (talk) 22:54, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

Well, the description given is not accurate.  If you fail to get 1000 on your first stab, then your second stab is still capped at 250 (which is not what the description says).  Got 942 on first stab and 250 on second.  Spooky Xero (talk) 09:58, June 12, 2015 (UTC)

Agility obstacles

I just want from 99% charge to 100% by crossing an agility obstacle on the Agility islands... IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 16:20, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, that seems to be the case with all skilling objects. I've gotten the last few extra % on the tree island by cutting vines and crushing herbs. Also why I ignore the meteors on the Agility islands because I get enough % from runestones (and extra div/dg/agility xp). --Shockstorm (talk) 06:19, June 13, 2015 (UTC)

Handicapped?

There seems to be a handicap system in place, where if Gielinor wins on a given day, then Tuska will get stronger (more HP) the next day, but if Tuska wins then the next day the threshold will be lowered. Has anyone confirmed if that is indeed the case? 173.19.243.244 02:37, June 9, 2015 (UTC)

They mentioned something like that in the reddit Q&A, iirc. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 03:47, June 9, 2015 (UTC)

Dead end root

http://i.imgur.com/J8UxRYX.png

--Jlun2 (talk) 14:25, June 11, 2015 (UTC)

Also if the tree ever gets surrounded by roots:
http://i.imgur.com/v3YehZU.png --Jlun2 (talk) 15:11, June 11, 2015 (UTC)

That's true. If that happens, normally you get a message telling "This root doesn't need any more of your attention". I've had roots going to the sides of the island and simply stopping right there xD --JorisCeoen 21:47, June 19, 2015 (UTC)

I've had it happen as well, but the message you refer to is unrelated to it. That can happen even if the root doesn't stop, and is generally used in multi-player situations where you clicked the root too late. That said, I've had it happen in solo plays as well, which is a tad odd. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 03:25, June 20, 2015 (UTC)

Another observation: just grew a root into an energy plant, and the next pod appeared immediately next to it, on top of the root to grow. I could still nurture it, and a single nurture made the next plant grow. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 04:12, June 20, 2015 (UTC)

http://i.imgur.com/ranlEk3.png

Apparently NPCs can spawn and mess up the root. --Jlun2 (talk) 02:54, June 21, 2015 (UTC)

Agility islands

Either the RNG really really really dislikes me, or it is significantly more likely that the next active runestone is on the previous island... IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 04:35, June 13, 2015 (UTC)

That would be my experience of the runestone island as well. AnselaJonla 04:56, June 13, 2015 (UTC)

Transcipt Update?

So no update on the transcipt? In the last 13 days? 76.121.234.236 07:00, June 13, 2015 (UTC)

Assuming you mean the ingame dialogue (and not the page itself on the wiki), no, Jagex has left the original dialogue pretty uninteresting. From what I gather from RSOF Q&As and stuff, they're not going to update the Tuska event (their reason/excuse being that they need to focus on Raids). They may add some special airuts that can be summoned by Jmods, but that's pretty much it. --Shockstorm (talk) 15:58, June 13, 2015 (UTC)

I haven't exactly talked to the NPCs again, but the only dialogue I've seen changed, was that Wizard Chambers now says once sentence when 'talking' to him, when the event is active, and you are in a minigame group that is ready. Prior to the last update you simply were given a "are you ready" dialogue box immediately. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 16:01, June 13, 2015 (UTC)

Result problem - exactly the same for day 15, 16 and 17

Refer to Tuska Comes#Results, here is the extract of the table (only day 15, 16 and 17 are shown)

Week	Day	Date	Time (UTC)	Percentage					Winner
3	15	15 June	23:50	0.0%	53.4%	15.7%	12.2%	18.7%	Godless
3	16	16 June	23:50	0.0%	53.4%	15.7%	12.2%	18.7%	Godless
3	17	17 June	13:30	0.0%	53.4%	15.7%	12.2%	18.7%	Godless

How come, they are all EXACTLY the same? The percentage of ALL fractions, for real?

Also, where is the source of all this result? Looks like there is a mistake...

Thanks in advance should this is answered.

User:Derekthersplayer/Signature 00:44, June 18, 2015 (UTC)

I find this very odd as well. Where are these results coming from? It's now the exact same for 5 days. I think someone lazy is just pasting the previous results without bothering at all. How come you already have the results for the 19th of May when the bar isn't even full... --JorisCeoen 21:45, June 19, 2015 (UTC)

Some speculate that Jagex is rigging the thing. Also note that the bar won't be full even at 100%, and Jagex refuses to correct that. --Jlun2 (talk) 21:47, June 19, 2015 (UTC)

Or maybe the interface was glitched and Jagex already acknowledged this problem? And we had no choice but to show this result? Jesus Christ... MolMan 21:53, June 19, 2015 (UTC)

Unless Jagex posts the actual detailed daily results, I can't even see how the results we have (glitched days or not) are of worth... Percentages based on pixel count are crude at best. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 03:25, June 20, 2015 (UTC)

i know this is old but im tired of the "jagax is rigging every event" comments. you realy think if they were rigging it they would make it this big? no they would make it look like its close as that gets more pepole excited and more pepole playing meaning more money for them. when its this kind of land slide less pepole play. just like in countries where all elections are clearly rigged and dictators some how get 90% of the vote. the turn out to vote is far smaller as pepole are dishartend.

what would jagax realy gain from rigging it anyway? you gys also claimed during other events that the good guys won only becuse they were the good guys and everyone wanted to be a good guy. yet this time the "good" guys did not win the godless wich most pepole would agree are not depicted as good or bad. while the good guys lost yet you still talk about it being rigged the same way. (72.92.132.176 15:50, February 19, 2016 (UTC))

End?

Like the previous world events, I was expecting a cutscene on log-in today as the event has ended. Nothing. I can also still get fragments on Tuska, and it looks like (haven't tried) you can still do the island event. No dialogue has changed... just that the interface at the top of the screen is gone. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 04:13, July 1, 2015 (UTC)

I could still do the island event. And there was this glitch where the island 100% meter would follow me to the rest of the game e.g. Karamja. Salix of Prifddinas ^(Talk) 07:16, July 1, 2015 (UTC)

Did you get reward currency for your island run? I did get some dialogue about handing in the fragments I collected today, but didn't actually try handing them in. My leftover reward currency from yesterday is still noted in the reward shop. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 07:29, July 1, 2015 (UTC)

I did get reward currency, but it didn't show on that beating Tuska bar. But like with you it did show in shop too. Salix of Prifddinas ^(Talk) 07:32, July 1, 2015 (UTC)

You do get the rewards like usual. 1000 on first, 250 on second and third etc. It's just not being displayed anymore. And, the event still hasn't ended it seems. Jagex is probably giving last chances for those who just need that last piece of a set or something. That, or they're behind scedule on the damage on Gielnor from the meteorites and chunks falling off xD --JorisCeoen 07:37, July 3, 2015 (UTC)

The interface didn't go away after I got off the event now it seems. This didn't happen before. --Jlun2 (talk) 19:44, July 1, 2015 (UTC)

Same happened to me, it followed me to Karamja. Salix of Prifddinas ^(Talk) 19:52, July 1, 2015 (UTC)

Sounds like JaGEx is so... generally... terrible, that they don't even know how to take the event out... you can't see your reward points unless you look in the shop, so clearly it's not intended to be a "last chance," and not a single NPC's dialogue has changed one bit, meaning they're not just trying to give us a chance to hang out on Tuska for a bit longer (keeping her as a permanent location in-game would be cool as a hangout spot but it wouldn't make sense in the first place). This event was supposed to leave on June 30th or July 1st, but it's still sitting in the game while the beach party shows that Tuska isn't the only one affected by JaGEx's lack of effort, as it has a lot of similar glitches (and typoes). This event didn't even have effort put into while it was SUPPOSED to be in-game. My name is Mushnarage (Mush-nare-ij) and this is Jackwikia. (talk) 08:25, July 3, 2015 (UTC)

Okay people that's enough arguing. Check the forums, it says final cutscene next week on 6th July, requires an update to go. Thank you.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 178.193.140.121 (talk) on 12:50, July 3, 2015 (UTC).

Where?

Did she crash somewhere or is she still only accessible by lodestone? Salix of Prifddinas ^(Talk) 14:04, July 6, 2015 (UTC)

She crashed south of wizards tower/west of bandit camp - you can swim to her Star ^Talk 14:08, July 6, 2015 (UTC)

Too bad she didn't crash near the Airut, but then again this way she remains accessable to F2P. And it's close to home for Wizard Chambers too. Salix of Prifddinas ^(Talk) 14:11, July 6, 2015 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure there is only a shortcut from Bebadin Camp and north of the Bandit Camp, both places are unreachable by F2P players.  ThePsionic  14:18, July 6, 2015 (UTC)

Then I wrongfully assumed there was access from the Wizards' Tower to her corpse. But that's the problem, Jagex only stated she crashed, not where and how she is accessed after the event. Salix of Prifddinas ^(Talk) 14:23, July 6, 2015 (UTC)

Audio from stabbing Tuska?

For curiosity's sake, It'd be neat to see an audio clip of the short track that plays when the player stabs Tuska. I think it also played when Tuska's head showed up a few days before the event. Scaper12123 (talk) 00:24, August 4, 2015 (UTC)
