Such an awesome quest. The armor looks nice. Any hints as to what the smithing level has to be to make it? Hopefully no pushing a pillar on something to kill the final boss or some npc coming to save the day.

Just watched the BTS video and the quest sounds epic especially the new TzHaar armor of all 3 combat styles of Ranged, Melee and Magic which I think I'll make a set or 2 for use when doing slayer tasks or for other things.
So far we know that we need mining, smithing and defence in the 80's to do the quest, but what other skill requirements would we need?
I'm kinda glad that the TokHaar-Kol cape isn't a quest requirement as I don't even have a Fire cape yet and I hope that also isn't a requirement to do the quest.
If I would need 85 smithing for making Obsidian armor then I'll work myself to death in the game to get to that point.

I have a quest point cape on my main account. I've been able to wear it for about two years.
This quest will be the first time I will lose my ability to wear the quest point cape. It is the first time I refuse to do a quest and am not excited. I think the title "the brink of extinction" is quite appropriate due to failgex going through with the end of combat update. The brink of extinction of runescape is what's really going on here.
The end of combat was a huge fail. Abilities are overpowered, prayer is useless, enhanced excalibur is equally useless as it has NO HEALING EFFECT WHATSOEVER. WENT THROUGH 2 SLAYER TASKS WITH IT DIDN'T HEAL ME ONCE. HELLHOUNDS ARE NOW HARDER THAN MUTATED JANDIKO MALES. DARK BEASTS HAVE THE WRONG WEAKNESS. EVERYWHERE IS MULTICOMBAT WAS THE DUMBEST PIECE OF CRAP ANYONE COULD COME UP WITH.
Please failgex. Admit your mistake. Admit that the majority of players don't want the end of combat. I can prove the majority of players don't want the end of combat because suddenly during and after that update you are doing multiple promotions in a cheap effort to keep members. HMMM GEE YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO DO THAT IF THE MAJORITY OF THE PLAYER BASE REALLY WANTED IT DUMB * * * * S.
ACCORDING TO RS WIKI
On the 1 September 2012, free to play players gathered at world 1 Falador, and pay to play players gather in world 2 Grand Exchange to protest the planned Evolution of Combat update and to request an old-school RuneScape server for Veterans. The Riot was planned, unlike many others, by a YouTube videomaker. In World 2 the Grand Exchange was temporarily muted and player could only use Quick Chat within the area for about an hour before normal chat was restored. To date, Jagex has never removed the ability to chat in game when confronted with a riot or interfered with any riot; something that makes this riot notable.
HMMM GEE THEY NEVER HAD TO REMOVE CHAT IN GAME BEFORE? SHOULD BE A GODDAMN CLUE THAT MAJORITY OF PLAYERS DIDN'T WANT THAT CRAP UPDATE!

I'm slightly irked by the Obsidian armor.
My full Torva, Goliaths, and Divine have a 788 armor bonus with a 5940 health bonus, the full Obsidian set has a 744 armor bonus with a 7440 health bonus.
It's not that I think Obsidian armor should be weaker, Torva should instead have much better bonuses than it currently has. I don't think it's right for armor that you *an simply smith to have bonuses nearly better than the hardest boss in the game. It's devaluing Torva and the other Nex armors, makes PvM more of a chore, and hurts many peoples' banks even more than they have been hit already. (including mine).

Yes i have tried the new EOC, i hated it.
I don't like changes that effect my game play like EOC did, i want my old game back.
Brink of Extinction, just fit right into my feelings of runescape as i knew it. The J mods won't even come in to the threads many of us whine on, as you like to call it. I like to call it fighting for my right to be heard and answered. Is it to much to ask them to tell us why they can't put a few servers back to the old way? Many of us don't care if its not updated, we just want a game that we can still enjoy.
I won't get to do that new quest if they don't put some servers back to the old way, i am not going to conform to this new cheap way of game play. Thats the problem with the world now many feel they are entitled to free stuff, its not the same as earning it.
Some of you put your blinders on and just conform to everything in life too, my blinders are off. Like many players that have already quit this game, I will be gone after Jan 5th and won't look back.
Just asking them to give an answer to the threads they ignor, so that we all know one way or the other as to what they intend to do about this.
Are they going to change some servers to the old runescape knowing that many don't care if it is updated or keeping with only the new system?
Thats what i really want to know, so i know if i am moving on to something else or staying here. With Christmas just around the corner, I don't want my family buying me Runescape cards if i won't use them. I will not be posting about this again as this is not the place for this but you ask.
