Deadliest Catch is a master quest that was released on June 7 2011, and first announced in the June Behind the Scenes. It requires level 70 Fishing, level 70 Thieving and level 67 Hunter as well as the quests Tower of Life and Druidic Ritual. Players must face a sea monster named Thalassus, a name on which players voted at the end of May 2011 in a guaranteed content poll. This quest raised the minimum level for the Quest point cape for Hunter by 2 levels from 65 to 67 and Fishing by 8 levels from 62 to 70.
Eager to try out a new item slot? Forget rings, quivers or shoe slots: if you're fashionable you'll want an aura slot! Before the release of these buffing items, there'll be two other updates in which you'll have to overcome some imposing obstacles: a sea monster in our newest master quest, and a troll invasion in a new distraction and diversion.
Deadliest Catch
This month's master members quest will ring bells for anyone interested in the guaranteed content polls. As named by you, the sea monster Thalassus has been terrorising the cold and inhospitable oceans to the north. No one has survived to sketch a picture of this hulking beast, but the inns are full of rumours: Thalassus is the size of the Wizards' Tower, they say; sailors are eaten and digested while still alive in its belly.
Fisherman Jones wants to end the scare stories by landing the beast (gaining a little glory in the process). To join him, you'll need a Fishing level of 70, a Hunter level of 67 and a Thieving level of 60, and there's wieldable fishing nets on offer, and a range of bank deposit boxes to unlock if you do. The quest also offers you the opportunity to embark ten more times for additional Hunter XP, should you prove to be an enviable harpooner.
Troll Invasion
Forget forum trolls: if you want a real nuisance, you can't beat the real thing! Trolls are swarming down the hills of Burthorpe and are threatening to lay waste to any imperial guard that gets in their way. Who can stop them? Well, you, of course, but in two very different ways. This month's single-player distraction and diversion for members allows you to choose between taking the trolls on in straight combat, or tending the defences that hold them back. Better still, there are no requirements to do so.
Take to the battlefield and you will face 20 waves of increasingly belligerent trolls, from the common mountain troll to the summoning troll, dynamite troll and Cliff, who – you've probably guessed – ate an entire cliff face for his first meal. If that proves too easy, there's a more intense 7 wave version to conquer, which has an increased difficulty level.
For the skill-focussed among you, there is the option of keeping the gatehouse maintained instead. Tend to the ballista, top up the oil vats and repair broken barricades to keep the trolls from being successful. Your actions will increase the morale of the troops, who will fight back with increased vigour. Hold out for 10 minutes (the time it takes for a troll to get hungry for Burntmeat's cooking) and the victory is yours. You will gain an XP tome for your first defence each month, and smaller XP rewards for any defence you complete after that.
