Tears of Guthix

Runescape mini game Tears of Guthix is a game that can help players gradually build up some experience in their least preferred skill. Well, I say least preferred as it is generally the lowest skill is a persons least preferred. In truth then, the tears of guthix mini game will enable players to earn some experience in their lowest skill.

Players wishing to do this mini game will have to complete the tears of guthix quest. The bowl that is made will be kept by Juna, so players do not need to remake it - maybe Jagex seeing some sense here as players would likely be very unwilling to make the bowl each week.

Anyway, Jagex have introduced this mini game as more a reward for players who are active in runescape. I say this due to the fact there are some requirements needed for people to be able to take part in the game weekly.

The requirements:

  • 100k experience earned during the week
  • or a new quest completed during the week
Juna will prevent players from entering if they have not met the requirements. Consequently tears of guthix is aimed at rewarding those players who generally work on their accounts regularly.

The simple objective in tears of guthix is to collect tears in a bowl. The tears will be collected from the blue streams - as any tears collected from the green stream will reduce the total number in the bowl. All players will have a time limit imposed on them and the streams can randomly switch between blue and green. So be attentive to get maximum results.

The time limit is closely related to the number of quest points you have - the more quest points in total, the more time you can spend in the cave each week. Although it doesn't help with the random changes in stream colours.

Overall, the reward for collecting tears in this runescape mini game will directly reward players with experience in their lowest skill (provided that skill is at least level 30). Each tear collected translates into 60 experience points - so 10 tears is equal to 600 experience. It isn't much - but over time it can add up, especially on a skill that you don't like training up much anyway. It can get you to a better skill level that you may then be able to do something in it that you enjoy.
