Some really cool looking loot was revealed. Cannon upgrades, T85 Magic gloves that give boosts to Combust and Dragon's Breath, an upgrade to the Pontifex ring (no surprise there)... oh, and the game's first Tier 95 weapon, none other than the Staff of Armadyl itself (exclusive drop from the Hard Mode of the Kerapac fight). Not bad for the first part of the Dungeon, not at all.

I suspect this won't be the only T95 equipment we see from the Elder God Wars. The current combat meta is about to get very interesting.

An interesting thought is if the Staff of Armadyl is going to break into fragments for us to make a T95 weapon, is The Needle going to break into something for us to make something else?

If the Needle is going to break too, here come the last puzzle of Guthix's Prophecy - The Broken Needle.

That's a very good point. We've already had a taste of what the Shadow Breach he was worried about would look like as part of the lead up to the Elder God Wars, and we're actively trying to prevent The Great Revision now... it would certainly make sense from a storytelling perspective to add the threat of the third and final part of Guthix's prophecy at the same time. Bad things come in threes, or so they say. :P

I'd be curious if the Nodon Front is going to be the "high level content" of the EGWD.

Though guess they have ot release the T95 Range and Melee weapon if they also release the T95 Staff (finally make Fire Surge and Ice Barrage to their full potential and Exsanguinate most of the way)

I would expect the whole EGWD will be high level content. It wouldn't make much sense for any of it to be weaker than GWD2, especially considering what we're up against.

The combat content was said to be between GWD2 and Telos difficulties. If there was no change since they last talked about it, it is for reasonably high combat players with at least T80 gear.

In today's GWD3 developer blog, Jagex revealed the GWD1 generals are going to aid us in the First Front. Logically, we probably are going to get the GWD2 generals to help us in future fronts.

Perhaps we see Solak or then the "godless" Varago in the final fronts?

Impossible Ful cannot summon the TokHaar to battle..

We did in BOTM..

Ful cannot communicate with the Tokhaar

Quin's horn, the elder horn, is used to communicate and it's missing since her death

Personally waiting for this massive lore blunder to hit the fan

LMFAO

No. The Horn was the first Mouthpiece only. Subsequently Elder Gods had all created different Mouthpieces for their communication purposes. Remember Fulkra through which we communicated with Ful in Heart of Stone? We definitely didn't use or need the Horn to communicate with the Elder Gods now.
