Feedback Update: WildyWyrms

February 28th, 2011

Hello all! We bring you away from your WildyWyrm slaying to inform you of the future - they're staying (well, kind of). You may well remember the death strykewyrms we added when strykewyrms were first introduced well now their moving away to Ape Atoll to allow the WildyWyrm (in a new form) to command the wasteland for wyrm-kind. Introducing the magma strykewyrm - a beast of lava and ash that may seem strangely familiar because it's exactly the same as the regular version of the WildyWyrm. You need not fear JMods though for these beasts are uncontrollable apart from this time of the year. Nor need you fear PKers (much) for the area in which you slay the beast is now non-PvP. Their locations haven't moved tough, so you may risk very thing getting to the beasts. They will continue to drop the fury shark, which remains untradeable, though much more rarely (which means that they will remain after the WildyWyrms go). The item will be rarer still as only the best slayer master can assign these strykewyrms to the true masters of slaying. Well, what are you still reading for? The original WildyWyrms are still in game until the 28th March, 2011. Go!

Death Strykewyrms


With this update, the The new location of the death strykewyrms were moved from north of the Forgotten Cemetery in the Wilderness to the east of Ape Atoll. This means you now require both 96 Slayer and completion of Monkey Madness to fight them. Kuradal will only assign them if you have both of these requirements. The strength, drops or number of strykewyrms has not been changed - only their location.

Magma Strykewyrm
The magma strykewyrm can only be assigned to players with 99 Slayer (although purchase of a skill cape is not necessary). They have exactly the same combat strength and drops as an uncontrolled WildyWyrm. They can also be found in the same three places - east of the Chaos Temple, north of Clan Wars and between the Lava Maze and Red Dragon Isle. Only one strykewyrm spawns at each of these three sites and all the area within it's range is non-PvP if strykewyrms are assigned as a slayer task. Unannounced in the feedback update, magma strykewyrms also have a new unique drop along with the fury shark - the Ring of Lava. The ring is tradeable though very rare to drop and so very expensive. It is unique in that it is always kept on death, even in the Wilderness, along with the other items that would be kept normally (unless on a high-risk world, in which case it is only kept if not protected over like any other item). The stat bonuses of the ring are given in the table below:
