Like all of our other recently added bosses, it works almost exactly like in OSRS. It uses a basic melee attack, an AoE melee attack that can hit anyone in a 11x11 square and a magic attack that shoots 3 projectiles, one of which is aimed towards the spot where the player is standing and 2 others further away.
Once it reaches half HP, it will spawn 2 skeleton hellhounds, which need to be killed before you can finish off Vet'ion. Once killed, it will respawn in its reborn form and spawn 2 greater skeleton hellhounds when it reaches half HP.
Vet'ion drops a pet (of course), along with the Ring of The Gods, which grants +1 to all defence stats and +4 prayer bonus. It can be imbued with an imbue scroll, doubling the prayer bonus to +8 and restoring +2% extra prayer points when drinking a prayer potion, super restore potion or super prayer potion. This means a regular prayer potion restores 7 + 27% prayer points, a super restore potion restores 8 + 27% prayer points and a super prayer potion restores 7 + 37% prayer points when wearing the Ring of The God (i) (instead of 7 + 25%, 8 + 25% and 7 + 35% respectively).
Like all other wilderness bosses, it has a lot of valuable drops. On average, it grants more and better drops than Callisto, Venenatis or the King Black Dragon each kill, but it is much slower to kill because of its hellhounds and reborn form.
Andres is currently hard at work to add the last three remaining wilderness bosses: the Crazy Archaeologist, the Chaos Fanatic and Scorpia, which are planned to be released at the same time within one of the next few weeks. Then we will finally have all of the wilderness content required to add the Wilderness Achievement Diary, which I'm hoping to have done by the end of the month!
Today's update also brings three more minor improvements:
- A hammer and saw have been added to the supplies store
- Players that cannot perform any actions on login because they have to enter their account PIN or have an outstanding warning that need to be acknowledged, are now invisible to other players and NPC's, nor can they see other players or NPC's, until they correctly entered their PIN or acknowledged their warning(s)
- You can no longer promote a regular, non-donator account straight away to the Premium status. This used to result in the automatic spending of 2,500 credits; instead, you will now receive an error message that you should promote to Donator status first, in order to avoid possible confusion about unknowingly spending credits
No event is planned this weekend (other than the usual Castle Wars event on Saturday), instead we'll be hitting you up with another week long PvM event next week! More information soon!
