At least make the tasks suitable for the levels a character has so its possible for lower level players to try and do tasks.

If this were the case, there'd be no need to buy keys, which is the whole point of the exercise. It's all treasure hunter is and all it will ever be.

You have 2 choices to Jagex's one:
Either buy keys to get the rewards or forfeit them.
Jagex will still keep doing these events regardless.

I actually see many people doing this one. It doesn't "push" anybody away obviously. :D :D :D

I found the TH whale.

I would argue that the Jadinko task or the Barrows task is too much, myself...

The pet is the first of it's kind (companion pet) to not have an 'interact with' option. Nor does it have an emote to perform. Zero effort from the team.

I was going to try to go for the pet since I like pets in RS, but honestly, if that's the case? I'm gonna have to pass.

I don't know where you found the TH "whale". I don't even care about whales or anchovies since I don't pay a real penny for TH but other players... or whales don't bother me at all. :D :D :D

Barrow and God Jadinkos take too much time? Fortunately that's where the 2 free stamps from Howie can help. Personally, I used them on Barrow and nihil pouches. The first extra one I get goes to god jardinkos. :D :D :D

making 25 nihil pouches doesn't sound bad but when you realize you have to kill them for the ingredients and do it 5 times for the pet, that puts it into perspective. very boring.... sad

25 ingredients was actually pretty fast, and you can have them as slayer task, have dmg enhancer etc... Plus the drops are pretty decent.

All the tasks are quite achievable and for me at least, enjoyable.

Maybe Jagex could introduce content like this some other way than TH, which pushes the majority of ppl away.

its a 6 day event, is it possible for you to get the pet before it goes away?

Its not counting Zogre bones buried with bonecrusher, and not counting all the bones I bury manually either. I've buried well over 50 and it says I only buried 33. After over 30 bones it only said 15.

From the official runescape wiki:
"Burying Zogre bones in Jiggig has a chance (approximately 1 in 4) to spawn a Skogre."

So, if this happens, the buried bones will not count as burying them.

Oh I did see that message that a Skogre had spawned several times in a row, so that must be what was happening, it seemed to be a lot more than 1 in 4 though, I had several bones in a row not count several time, and none of the ones buried with bonecrusher seemed to count at all.

Thanks for the info though, that helped me understand why some were not counting. Hi.

To complete the card 5 times is quite an effort for only five days. I'll be happy to complete it once. So far, I'm hunted around 80 god jadinkos and then I'll have 15 more tasks to go...

This one is a bit mixed for me.

I quite enjoy the "bingo card" kind of promotion actually - to me, its a "distraction" in that it gives me something new to do. I've never quite liked to grind things, so anything that breaks up the grind and can keep me busy for a little bit is always appreciated. I typically don't play to try and complete the card the full 5 times and instead just aim to complete it just once, as a sense of accomplishment.

I like that often times, the tasks on the card bring a little bit of activity back to some not-so-often played pieces of content. For example, I appreciated this card's evil tree activity as I hadn't done an evil tree in quite some time and it was fun going through the old motions of hunting the tree down, cutting it down and lighting it ablaze.

I also like that usually for each card that comes into the game, there typically is at least one or two activities that are more fun when done as a group - they make great clan events. In this one, Ape Atoll agility is much more fun when done in a social setting.

With that said, I did feel that a number of the tasks were a bit... offputting this time around. I fully expected that there would be meant for different "tiers" of players (finishing the last row has always required some decent stats) but this time some of the tasks were a bit on the lengthy or annoying side of things. There did seem to be a number of combat activities, but these required a little bit of luck too - I still have killing Jogres for bones to do, killing Nihils for summoning components to do, and I haven't done the barrows task yet, but knowing my luck, it'll take me a good few trips before I get anything from it. A few of the skilling tasks were a bit much too - I very quickly stamped the two Herblore Habitat activities, and the Beacons run, while not difficult, had me a bit "meh."

All in all, I'll still be able to complete the card once, but didn't get as much enjoyment from the tasks as the last few sets.

Actually not much efforts are required to complete the task list 5 times and you get 6 days to do it. I got all the rewards in 2 days already without buying any keys.

Only god jardinkos, nihil and the Barrows tasks take over an hour. Reaper assignment can be anywhere from minutes to 30 minutes and you can reroll up to 5 times to get a short one. The other tasks can be done typically in 15 minutes or less.

The work required in this event is much less than the collecting fragments ones. :D
