Two weeks ago we revealed that the next large content release that our project team (do read about the recent team restructure if you haven't done so) would like to offer is Making Friends with My Arm. Making Friends with My Arm is a Master level quest and is the next instalment in the Troll series, designed by Mod Ash himself. The quest was initially pitched to the community at 2016's RuneFest and was in response to a player suggestion to fill the black map zone near Ghorrock, and north of the God Wars Dungeon. Working with Mod Ash will be Mod Munro, one of our newer content devs, and he'll be taking the lead on programming the rewards.Last week, we released the first draft of theMaking Friends With My Arm blog which detailed the quest itself, as well as our initial rewards proposal. Since then we've been working on changing the proposal to accommodate notable pieces of feedback. Below is a changelog highlighting major changes in the proposal since last week's offering.Changelog:Red salt is now referred to as Stamina salt. Blue salt is now referred to as Prayer salt. Green salt is now referred to as Resource salt. Red fire pits are now referred to as Stamina fire pits. Blue fire pits are now referred to as Prayer fire pits. Green fire pits are now referred to as Resource fire pits. Logs treated with Stamina salt now also require a Stamina potion dose to be used on the log, dependent on the type of log. Yew logs require one dose. Magic logs require two doses. Redwood logs require three doses. The effect of running past a Stamina fire pit has been clarified. It results in gaining 10 run energy and your energy will deplete more slowly, similarly to a Stamina potion, for 30 seconds. Prayer fire pits will still yield the same effect when burying bones near the fire pit. Bonecrushers also work for this. Bones can also be used directly on the fire pit. Removed and added a number of fire pits. All are specified below. The quest is now marked as a Master level quest, rather than Experienced.  Making Friends with My ArmMaking Friends with My Arm is a Master level quest, taking the much maligned character from My Arm's Big Adventure and sending him on a whole new mission - now venturing into the icy lands of the north to establish relations with the troll town of Weiss.Players assisting him in this diplomatic foray will learn the troll technologies from Weiss that make the Firemaking skill useful, for the first time, offering buffs to skilling activities else in the world.But first they'll have to handle My Arm's ambitions to woo the troll maiden Snowflake and to kill the Wise Old Man...RequirementsCompletion of My Arm's Big Adventure Completion of Swan Song Completion of Cold War Completion of Romeo & Juliet Level 66 Firemaking Level 68 Agility Level 72 Mining Level 35 Construction Must not be afraid of nasty trolls.RewardsCompleting Making Friends with My Arm will reward you with 2000xp in Construction, 5000xp in Firemaking, 10,000xp in Mining, and 15,000xp in Agility. Additionally you’ll gain access to a mine of different coloured salts. These salts are for treating logs that can be burnt in special fire pits; these fires will give various benefits while you’re training in their areas. The salts are tradeable, but you must complete this quest before you can use them. The mine also contains a mineral that can teleport you back to this mine, or to the Troll Stronghold for easier access to the rooftop herb patch you unlocked in My Arm’s Big Adventure. You’ll also get the chance to build a new disease-free herb patch in Weiss.There are three types of salt in the mine: Stamina salt, Resource salt and Prayer salt. These are used to treat various types of log that you’ll burn in the new fire pits, with some fire pits accepting logs treated with Prayer salt, other fire pits accepting logs treated with Stamina salt (which also requires Stamina potions), and other fire pits accepting logs treated with Resource salt. The proposed pit locations are marked with blue, red and green fire icons respectively on the map below. Different pits unlock according to your Firemaking level.Each of these fires has a certain number of charges, determining how often it will grant its benefit before dying out; higher level logs will give fires with more charges, for players with adequate Firemaking levels. The treated logs are stackable, allowing you to re-ignite the fire without awkward inventory juggling. The first time you use a fire pit, you’ll need to bring a tinderbox, but you’ll automatically store that tinderbox within the fire pit so that you don’t need to bring one in future.There are also special fire pits, marked with grey fire icons below, all three salts are needed to light permanent fires that will give permanent improvements to the areas, such as mitigating the cold weather effects outside the God Wars Dungeon, or lighting up a dark cave.The individual appearance and the status of the fire pits will be visible only to you. This also means that only you will experience the benefits of a lit fire. Similarly to a Farming patch, a player who hasn't lit a fire in that pit will not see one, and will gain no benefits from one lit by another player.Prayer SaltOnce you’ve treated logs with Prayer salt, you can burn them in the fire pits marked with a BLUE fire icon on the map. This will give you double Prayer XP while you bury bones in the area around the fire pit, as long as the fire’s burning.The XP bonus will also apply to the Bonecrusher when you use it in that area.Each time the fire gives you an XP bonus, it uses up one charge, and when the fire has run out of charges it will be extinguished. Treated Yew logs (prayer) will provide 50 charges. Treated Magic logs (prayer) will provide 100 charges. Treated Redwood logs (prayer) will provide 150 charges.Prayer fire pits can be found at the following locations: the Fremennik Isles, Lunar Isle, near the Graveyard of Heroes, the Wyvern Cave, and Death Plateau.Stamina SaltOnce you’ve treated logs with Stamina salt and some Stamina potion, you can burn them in the fire pits marked with a RED fire icon on the map. This will boost your run energy as you pass near the fire, consuming a charge from the fire each time you receive its benefit. Each charge will boost your run energy by 10, and also cause your energy to deplete more slowly for 30 seconds.The effect is triggered automatically when you pass near the fire (around 8 tiles) provided your energy is not already being affected by this effect, and provided you’re not already near 100% energy. However you’ll be able to click/tap the fire manually to trigger its effect on demand if the automatic trigger isn’t what you want.You can treat yew, magic and redwood logs with Stamina salt, along with 1 dose of Stamina potion for the yew logs, 2 doses for the magic logs and 3 doses for the redwood logs. Treated yew logs (stamina) will provide 2 charges before the fire is extinguished; Treated magic logs (stamina) will provide 4 charges, and Treated redwood logs (stamina) will provide 6 charges.Stamina fire pits can be found at the following locations: near the Arceuus essence mine on Zeah, near the Cosmic Altar in Zanaris, Lunar Isle, near the Nature Altar in Karamja, at the entrance to the Ourania Altar, near the Herbiboar paths on Fossil Island, and nearby Falo the bard.Resource SaltOnce you’ve treated logs with Resource salt, you can burn them in the fire pits marked with a GREEN fire icon on the map. This will give you a 1/3 chance of gaining a double quantity of a specific resource when training in the area. Each time a resource is doubled, the fire consumes a charge.The fire pit only affects one kind of resource in its area. For example, the resource fire pit in the Piscatoris Fishing Colony affects only the catching of monkfish, not the other fish that can be caught there. Similarly, the resource fire pit near Catherby would affect only the yew trees.Treated Yew logs (resource) will provide 20 charges. Treated Magic logs (resource) will provide 40 charges. Treated Redwood logs (resource) will provide 60 charges.Resource fire pits, and their corresponding resource, can be found on the map below.Special Fire PitsThe grey fire pits on the map provide unique effects based on their location. Grey fire pits require a brazier to be constructed before use, and require a one-off large deposit of treated logs in order for the fire to burn. The effects of the grey fire pits are permanent and the fire does not need to be maintained. The logs used to light the fire will have to be treated by all three types of salt.The unique effects of the grey fire pits are as below: The brazier at the entrance to the God Wars Dungeon removes the chilling effect (which drains stats). The brazier would require 60 Construction to build. The brazier in Morytania swamp prevents swamp decay and removes the aggression of Ghasts. The brazier would require 50 Construction to build. The brazier in the Lumbridge swamp cave acts as a permanent light source for the area. The brazier would require 35 Construction to build. The brazier in the Giant Mole's lair acts as a permanent light source for the area. The brazier would require 35 Construction to build. The brazier in caves on Mos Le'Harmless acts as a permanent light source for the area. The brazier would require 35 Construction to build. Pit LocationsFor an idea of the fire pits will be located, see the map below. The graphics we're using on the map to mark locations and resources are just placeholder images. Should the rewards pass the poll we'll be making a new model. The red fire indicates a fire pit in which you can burn Stamina salt. The blue fire indicates a fire pit in which you burn Prayer salt. The green fire indicates a fire pit in which you can burn Resource salt. The various resources next to the green fires indicate which resources are affected by the fires. The grey fire indicates braziers which offer permanent boosts. The dungeon icon (!) indicates fires located in underground areas.
