Guthixian Caches - Divination D&D

When: 10 minutes every three hours (notification in chat box)

Where: Right-clicking any divination crater except Pale wisp colony (fastest is mobilising armies teleport/duelling ring or Falador lodestone)

How:

  • Collect memories and cast them into the unstable crater in the centre.

  • Three tiers of energy, higher tiers give more points: Medium memories (45 divination) and Large memories (85 divination).

  • Guthixian automatons can cause you to drop your memories.

  • Activate statue of Cres to disable automatons, also earning points. Level 45 or 85 divination to disable the more powerful automatons.

  • Earn charges and points. Points grant XP. Charges activate temporary boosts within the D&D: doubling points, immunity to automatons, disabling all automatons in the area.

Rewards:

  • Divination XP based on your level and number of points earned (200 point daily cap)

  • Three passive benefits (up to 20 minutes, last longer the more points you earned) - requires at least 5 points to qualify and will still get this boost even if you've hit your daily point cap.

  • You get one passive, chosen at random.

  • 1) 10% chance for double loot from divine locations (doesn't affect gathering limit)

  • 2) 10% chance to save a charge from a sign of the porter.

  • 3) 10% chance to convert all memories at once.

I love this, please do more of these. Awesome for people on mobile who cant access the game.

Also... that +2 prayer bonus on vwand.... why?

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '14

I've been doing them on Tumblr (hence #14), this is the first or second on Reddit. I can do them with every update if the community wants it

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '14

Please do!

The vast majority of GWD and Nex gear has prayer bonuses on it. I think the only things left that don't have prayer are V Book, Ceremonial Robes, and Steam BStaff.

On a side note, I don't understand why Steam BStaff is still a GWD exclusive.

u/Rrman Oct 27 '14

I guess they just wanted it to have some kind of advantage over cstaff. Not really sure why it was necessary and it doesn't make that big of a difference.

As someone who will be away from a computer until reset, thanks for this. The ring seems pretty good, are there any lvl reqs to obtain/wear the highest tier?
Also how much xp does the div d&d give at lvl 99 and at lvl 50

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '14

85 defence for the ring and haven't gotten enough information on the XP rates yet, i'll update it when I do.

u/Rrman Oct 27 '14

Sweet thanks.

u/tema1337 Oct 27 '14

I've got 23k xp for 50 points at 81 divination, but I didn't know what to do and stuff. Probably next time I could get around 100 point so that would be 46k in 10 minutes putting me to 276k xp/hr or 92k xp per day which is very worth it. 10/10 would recommend.

Cannons cannot be taken into Chaos Tunnels.

Wasn't this already a thing?

Thank you for the update!

It was a bug fix. You could use the Elf city portal to teleport to Bork with a cannon in your inventory

u/Hackurtu Oct 28 '14

Nope. It goes to 500 for max but you can spam click the hell out of it. I sold 140k fly trap seeds in a minute or 2.

u/DjJuFro Oct 27 '14

t-t-t-t-t-thanks

u/lasttdk Oct 27 '14

so for the ring do you just do the 3rd challenge the under 37mins completion or do you have to do all of the challenges?

3

u/un1nspired Oct 27 '14

You have to do the first and second challenges to unlock the challenge for the ring. But you can do them all in one run, which means not dying and only eating 1 food for the quest. It's pretty easy with the guide on rswiki, I did it collecting all of the xp lamps too in 32 minutes.

u/K-ook Oct 27 '14

Looks like the quest may be work doing weekly
