Tempoross Overview
Tempoross is a fishing minigame located in the Port Piscarilius area of Great Kourend. Players of all Fishing levels can participate, though higher levels increase efficiency. The goal is to harpoon fish, cook them on the fire, and use the cooked fish to either douse Tempoross's flames or repair the storm harpoon. The minigame can be played solo or in teams of up to 4 players.
The August 19 Summer Sweep Up added the Fish Barrel and Tackle Box to the Tempoross reward shop for 6,000 Spirit Flakes each. These items were previously only available from other content, making Tempoross a more accessible source for them.
Strategy: Quick Fire Method
The most efficient strategy is the 'quick fire' method. Start by harpooning 5-6 fish, then cook them at the fire. Use the cooked fish to douse the fire at the base of Tempoross's central pillar. Continue until Tempoross reaches 0% health. The goal is to maximize points per kill while minimizing time per kill.
For teams, coordination is key. One player can focus on dousing while others repair the harpoon. The storm harpoon requires 4 fish to repair when its health drops below 50%. The Tiny Tempoross pet drops from the reward pool at approximately 1/8,000 per reward roll.
Rewards and Spirit Flakes
Tempoross rewards Spirit Flakes, which can be exchanged at the Spirit Angler for various items. The complete Spirit Angler's outfit costs 4,000 Spirit Flakes total (1,000 per piece). The Fish Barrel and Tackle Box now cost 6,000 Spirit Flakes each. The Tiny Tempoross pet is a rare drop from the reward pool. Other rewards include raw fish, fishing bait, and cosmetic items.
The Spirit Angler's outfit provides a 2.5% Fishing XP boost per piece (10% total) when worn, making it best-in-slot for Fishing training. The Fish Barrel stores raw fish, allowing longer fishing trips. The Tackle Box stores fishing equipment and bait.
