12-Oct-2011 - The Pit

Welcome, pesky human, to The Pit! The name’s Scrambles the Werewolf, and I’d like to commend you on your exceptional taste in distractions and diversions.

What’s that? You don’t remember how you got here? Well, you showed a general nimbleness at one of RuneScape’s many agility courses. Snotgut, my sidekick, has written a list of the agility courses and dropped it in a summary box at the bottom of this newspost for you. Go have a look once we’ve finished talking. You see, by gracefully completing several agility laps, you were lucky enough to catch the Talent Scout’s eye and he called you over with his big blue fist. After a chat, he whisked you to The Pit to see ol’ Scrambles and Snotgut, so that you could test your luck on one of our six knee-knocking ‘surprises’:

  • Floor is Lava
  • High-Low There
  • Karaoke
  • Put the Thing in the Other Thing
  • Punch the Hungry Sheeps
  • Crate Expectations

That’s them right there. Proud of those titles, we are. We’ll pick which game you play – at random, of course, as there are no favourites here. Fail at the task and we’ll hand you some of that XP you adventurers seem to like nowadays. Won’t be much, mind: roughly the same you’d have got from the agility course you just left. Knock our hairy socks off with your agility skills, though - beating the diabolical tasks we set you - and you’ll be taken backstage for a bumper batch of XP, a chance to gamble it all, and a gorilla mask. Why a gorilla mask, I hear you ask? Because we think you’ll look...uh...dashing in it. Ha!

Once we’re finished, you’ll be dropped back where you started, where you may/may not have a memory of what happened at the dreaded, befuddling, fantastical Pit! Mwahahahaha!

This update was quite disappointing. I've done three of the events so far, Punch the Hungry Sheeps (you don't get cb XP for doing this), Crate Expectations and Floor is Lava. All three of them seem to be 100% luck; there's no telling the right decision. I believe you have roughly 1/3 chance of succeeding on those 3 events and it appears that the XP you get depends on how quickly you do the event (and of course whether you fail or pass). I failed all events. I got 905 XP from the sheep event, which I did rather slowly since I was studying the sheeps, 1152 XP from the crate expectations, which I did fairly quickly (my friend got 1015 XP from the same event and he was studying the crates for a moment), and 823 XP from the Lava floor. Conclusion: speed affects the outcome of the XP as well, all though, it could be level (or agility course) as well.

If you pass the event, make sure to select the gamble XP option. On an average, your XP will be improved by 1/6, assuming the three outcomes are split equally in chance.

Not really seen much of the Agility things, but the gorilla mask looks cool.

Not very keen on the 255 maximum character private message though.  :-\

I completed the event in about 2 minutes (the crate one) and got the Gorilla Mask, I never seen an option for gamble exp and I only got 105 exp anyway..

*EDIT*

Just read there that if you go to it straight away (I went on my account with 99 Agility) you're not offered the chance to gamble and you only get a small amount of exp.
