I really enjoy the effort and thought put into the cosmetics within this even and this has been the ONLY promotional event that i have actually spent money on and will continue to do so along as it continues to remain the same or improve. I also feel that this give maxed players such as myself a reason to login back in and play. Overall very pleased with this and look towards the future releases.

I only just completed it, I didn't buy a bond, I had 3 free skips I believe.

I enjoyed Yak Track more this time around, having clue scrolls was a great addition, same with combat and do your own thing around RuneScape.

It's a shame they are doing the beach event at the same time - I feel this is a poor choice. One event at a time, please...
If fat means flavour then I'm ******* delicious!

Overall, this event felt like an improvement over the previous two (the "Play RuneScape", "Kill Monsters", and clue scroll tasks were excellent additions), but there's still some room for improvement;

- There's still a lot of potions left off of the Herblore tasks. No Super Guthix Rest, no Juju potions, etc.
- A couple of the Screen Soil tasks are restricted to certain types of soil, which really doesn't make a lot of sense when you consider that Kharid-et, the Infernal Source, and Everlight have high-level excavation sites that still provide their respective soils. These restrictions should probably be removed for future Tracks.
- This is a super minor thing considering that the alternative task is just as easy, but one of the tasks (Task 13) locked F2P players out of one of the task options instead of scaling down like the other tasks do.

But like I said, all things considered this was probably the best track so far.

Loved this track, some amazing rewards and challenging tasks! I managed to do all tasks using only the skips given at the start, it gave me some real motivation to train up some skills I find a little tedious which is great! Decided to run through the whole yak track tasks and grab a bond at the end to unlock all the premium rewards in one sweep.

Love how skip tokens are rewarded at the beach event also! Shame I completed it just as I found this out :P _.•´¯`•._.•´¯`•.*

Some of the tasks were really good like clue scrolls and archaeology but some were just awful at high levels. I liked the ones that had me engage in content I don't normally (deep sea fishing, cutting elder trees, etc) but used my skips on the construction/herb type ones. Also, the auto-sifter that most people use after 70 arch didn't work on the screening tasks....

There were too many of them that would cost huge amounts of GP to actually complete. But I guess the purpose of the yak track is to sell bonds...

Great track indeed.
Better than before with the additions of the tasks mentioned in above posts.

I agree with the comment about the soils, and would like to nominate dungeoneering for this too. Why all the warped floors? I get the high level requirement, but what about ''warped floors or hard mode floors''?

I did notice the lack of the hunter skill yet again. Why is this skill excluded every time? (Catch 1000 creatures or 100 big game creatures seems reasonable) .

Overall, great job and keep em coming!
