Oh the mighty forums!

That's right the forums are up! Visit http://ventrix.org/ and create an account. Remember to post some feedback!

Bugs, bugs, bugs!...No more?

Over the past 2-3 days I have been testing out the features I have recently added and have eliminated most of the bugs/glitches that would be associated with them.

In other news...
The forum is almost done and will be avaliable soon for all to use, there you can give suggestions, feedback on this project and much more.

I will be leaving for 2 days as I have some real life business to take care of. Once I come back I will resume work on Ventrix.

The BETA date has now been moved due to Runescape updating the wilderness and free trade to the first of February. The official date has now been moved to the 20th of February. This should give me time to complete most of the features needed for our staff to test.

The art of firemaking!

The firemaking skill has been implemented into the server and is now 100% operational.

This skill can be used in:
Quests
Cooking(skill)

Save our souls!

"In the world of spirits, a disruption is at present. Souls from the dead and the living are being devoured by a beast so powerful he may destroy the world. The spirit warriors put together a plan to defeat the soul-devouring beast and as they did the opposite happened in the real world.

The Corporal Beast has risen from the spirit world to devour the souls of the dead and living again. Can you stop this beast from destroying the world?"

That's right, the Corporal beast has been added!

"Ventrix Boss: Corporal Beast"

TzHaar's burrowing terror...

'The Obsidian Guard Armadillo (TokTz-Ket-Dill) rises once again terrorizing the city of molten rock. Will you stand up to this mighty beast and bring order back to TzHaar?'

The TokTz-Ket-Dill has now been fully developed with some minor changes:

You can use prayer before the armour shell breaks without it being penetrated
You may only use a pickaxe(rune or dragon) to defeat this armadillo(no attack style needed)

Ventrix Boss: TokTz-Ket-DIll

In other updates:
Pest control will soon be readded (spawns and minigame) with some new features:

There will be 3 leveled boats:

• Easy: 3 Points each game, easy monsters
• Medium: 6 Points each game, mild monsters
• Hard: 10 Points each game, hard monsters

You may also exchange your points for either equipment or level experience.

The city of molten rock returns.

The city of TzHaar has returned along with its people, although, with some new features!

The TzHaar shops now contain the Obsidian cape and the removal of the Fighter's Torso has been made. You can now obtain it from Barbarian Assault(when it is developed).

In other updates...
TokTz-Ket-Dill will be another one of Ventrix's new bosses!

It's attacks will consist of 2 types, Melee and Range. To defeat this armadillo you will need to break it's outer shell with a Runite or Dragon Pickaxe using the Smash type. Once it's shell has broken then you may you any other weapon with a Crush attack type or else you will not hit anything.

It is advised for players to not use prayer before it's shell is broken as each of the armadillos attacks will penetrate through and after the shell is broken for players to use the Melee Prayer.

This boss will replace the Tormented Demons as there are no areas for them.

It will drop Dragon Plate shards and the mighty Dragon Claws.

Argh, I can't get my loot!

Have you tried to pick up your loot but couldn't either because it was under some rocks or your feet were frozen to the ground? Well now you can pick them up if you are 1 square away from the items.

What is that thing!?

The Barrelchest is back with a new area and better skills. It will now range attack if it cannot reach the player. To reach Harmony Island, take a ship from any Ventrix port and sail to Mos Le'Harmless, from there speak with Brother Tranquility and you will be teleported there.

Also, a new feature has been added to the Barrelchest. Every hit, successful or unsuccessful, you will lose 5 prayer points. If you try to pray it will turn it off.

Fight to the death!

The combat of Ventrix has finally been finished! Magic, Range and Melee with correct formulas and combat both PvN and PvP.

In other updates...
The Kalphite Queen again returns to her tunnels and spreads her army of the Kalphite.
(In other words, the kalphite tunnel spawns have been done)
