Tears of Guthix (minigame)

Tears of Guthix is a short minigame, playable once a week. The player must have completed the Tears of Guthix quest and gained at least 100 000 total experience or one Quest Point since the last time they played the minigame.

Playing the game
To play the minigame, a player must go to the Lumbridge Swamp Caves and tell a story to the snake Juna who is the guardian of the Guthix tears. Then, collect the blue tears flowing from a wall, while avoiding collecting the green tears, as these decrease your overall tear count. The locations of the tears changes randomly.

Both hands must be free in order to hold the bowl (No weapon or shield).

The game relies heavily on your quest points. The more quest points you have the longer you can collect tears and therefore the more experience you get. The formula is believed to be every quest point you have, you get 0.5 - 1 more second above a base time limit (45-60 seconds?). 43 quest points are required for the Tears of Guthix quest. A player with 235 quest points has about 2 minutes 35 seconds or 155 seconds. The maximum number of quest points is currently 255.

Juna will not let a player in if it has been less than one week since the last time. However, entrance may be gained if a player tries within one hour before the one week time limit (167 hours instead of 168 hours).

Use the Quest Journal of the interface and select Tears of Guthix to find out how many days and how many quest points or experience points are needed before being allowed to collect tears. The interface describes the whole number of days, rounded down, until you are allowed to again access the tears; this means that "1 day" could mean one day and 23 hours from the present time. Similarly "later today" means some time less than 24 hour from now.

Reward
After the minigame is complete, the player receives experience based on the number of tears collected to their lowest skill. The amount of experience per tear increases as the players level increases, until they reach level 30. Once level 30 is reached, the player receives 60 experience for each tear.

Experience per tear
The experience per tear is actually based on the current experience of the lowest level skill and is calculated according to the following formula:

XP per tear = MIN ( (100 + FLOOR(current xp / 27)) / 10, 60 )

The MIN with 60 is because the XP is capped at 60 per tear.

Experience in Runescape is recorded to the 1/10th of an experience point, but you don't see the fraction part in the game interface.

Message
Players receive a message which indicates which skill they received the experience for.
