Burthorpe/Taverley Tasks

This minigame is very dynamic, involving different levels of tasks. Because of this, the minigame risk ratings are given in the task summaries (found at the beginning of the Beginner task listings). There are no Easy, Medium, Hard, and Elite tasks, and there are no serious combat tasks.

 

Introduction

The Burthorpe/Taverley Tasks contain tasks that can be completed by low level players. They differ from all other task sets in that the Burthorpe/Taverley Tasks only have tasks at the Beginner level. These tasks are intended as a tool to familiarize new members with the new content available to them as subscribers. They can be played in Tutorial mode, although high level members have the option of disabling tutorial mode and completing the tasks in any order.

In the task menu, you will see six recommended tasks from the Burthorpe/Taverley area. To view the entire list of tasks, click Open Task List. If you click on an individual task, it will bring up more information on the task. All the tasks are listed further down in this guide.

Each time you finish a task, you will get a message in the top central part of your window stating that you've completed a task. Open the Task List and you'll see a small check mark next to that task. If you do not have the requirements for a task, a small lock will appear in the corner of the task. Once you have completed all the tasks of this region or you do not have requirements for any of the other tasks, minigames will appear in the task list.

These tasks are designed, unlike all other task sets, to be played in order as per the Troll Warzone storyline. You can, however, perform the tasks in any order that you wish by disabling Tutorial mode. There are no requirements to complete any of the tasks in this task set. Get yourself to Burthorpe and be on your way!

Note: Resting anywhere within Burthorpe and Taverly will count as resting next to a musician.
