Hello everyone,

 

This weekend's update was primarily focused on fixing many bugs that have gone unnoticed in previous updates while we focused on content. I tried to get as many of them fixed as possible, and while there are still many bugs on my to-do list, I think this update will help to fix most of the major ones. Aside from that, I've managed to add in numerous pieces of content such as the long-awaited Looting bag, clue bottles, bird nests and more!

 

• Bonds update reverted
  • Bonds are now back to how they were before due to popular request -- that is, granting a rank increase past Super donator.
• Hans added to home (south-west):
  • Hans will be able to tell you how long you've spent in the world since you've joined!
• Shift-click functionality added to client:
  • Following a recent OSRS addition, we've decided to add this QOL feature:
    • Hold shift while clicking an inventory item to drop it!
• Fixed Boss timer records on PvM lectern:
  • Previously, your solo kill would always be considered a team kill and therefore not counted on highscores. This has been fixed, and you should start to see proper boss kill timers populate the in-game PvM records very soon.
    • For reference, the records are updated automatically as soon as the player who set it logs out.
  • TzTok-Jad added to killtime and kill count records:
    • Jad's killtime will be based on the time that you started the fight cave session, NOT the time it has taken since you first attacked Jad as it normally is.
• Fixed pet visual bug:
  • After recoloring your Rock golem with an ore (or if one of your pets undergoes metamorphosis), its color would change if you enter a different area (visual only).
    • This has been fixed, the new color of your pet will stay consistent after teleporting.
• Raids dungeon timer fixed:
  • Issue where it would not show/save your time record has been fixed.
• Miscellaneous:
  • Godsword shards will no longer appear as a "rare drop" yelled under game news for obvious reasons.
  • Fixed Cerberus combat bug
  • You can no longer rest while in combat.
  • Fixed grammatical error on some tips.
  • Colored rock golems that aren't your own pet will no longer show the right-click options.
  • Right-clicking the donation manager to "Check-donations" will no longer show you the "As an ironman, you are not allowed" message.
  • ::support command added to take you to the Support section on the forum
  • Sir tiffy cashien in Falador will no longer be facing the wrong direction sitting on the bench.
  • Fixed Ancient d'hide top graphical error -- now goes over your arms
  • Fixed "Weird old man" chatbox head instead of Brother brace when trying to deposit GP into the Well of goodwill.
  • Pegasian crystals now always announce on the global rare drop yell
• Skin color saving:
  • If you unlock a skin from the Donation manager, it will now (from this point forward) be re-obtainable for free if you ever wish to change between other skin colors.
    • Unfortunately, those with previously purchased skin colors will not have them saved. You can send me a PM to manually unlock it with a screenshot of your skin.
• Item requirements fixed:
  • Mages' book - 60 Magic
  • Gilded armour - 40 Defence
  • Saradomin, Zamorak and Guthix rune trimmed armour - 40 Defence
  • Saradomin, Zamorak, Guthix, Ancient and Armadyl godhide armour - 40 Defence and 70 Ranged
  • Odium and Malediction wards (and (or) versions) - 60 Defence
• Fixed donator benefits for all ranks:
  • Certain rank bonuses were broken -- Eg. A legendary donator would not receive a bonus that a super donator would.
    • The whole system has been reworked to properly support this in all cases.
• Visual appearance of Superior Slayer encounters have been updated to make them appear more "Superior".
  • This much needed update makes all encounters much more visually appealing.
• Raids changes:
  • Olm door ~ Quick entry:
    • You can now right-click enter the door before Olm at raids to skip the dialogue
  • Fix for getting points on "all-healing" npcs such as Olm's head before the final phase:
    • Previously, it was possible to stack points on NPCs that healed themselves.
      • It is no longer possible to obtain points for damage that heals an enemy.
• Abyssal bludgeon special attack fixed:
  • It was previously using incorrect animation.
  • The proper graphics that plays on the ground under your victim has also been added.
  • (Note: The previous "effect" of the Special attack was correctly working and has not been changed.)
• Banks fixed for noting/unnoting:
  • Many banks were broken in the sense that you could not note/unnote items on them(even if they worked as a bank), including:
    • Varrock west/east, falador east/west, catherby, seers village, lumbridge, neitiznot, ardougne south/north, yanille, tzhaar, duel arena chests, clan wars chests, pest control, mages' bank, crafting guild, raids, edgeville RFD chest.
    • Thanks to @alumentum for compiling this list of banks!
  • Bank noting/unnoting now works on bankers as well:
    • Primarily updated for this to work with the banker in the Donator zone and in the Mages' bank.
• Abyssal head loot from using your Unsired on the Font of Consumption fixed:
  • Previously, the Abyssal head from the Sire could not be combined with a Slayer helmet to create the Red slayer helmet. This item has been fixed.
    • For those of you with the old item, it will automatically be fixed next time you log in.
• Woodcutting update - Bird nests!
  • It is now possible for a Bird nest to fall out of a tree while woodcutting!
    • (Any tree except for meat trees in Raids -- 1/256 chance each time you chop a log)
    • Rate is NOT affected by the type of tree you are chopping.
    • There are 10 different nests, including:
      • Regular nest
      • Guthix, Saradomin or Zamorak egg nests
      • Gold ring
      • Easy, medium, hard and elite scroll nests
    • Each donator rank will increase your chance of obtaining a nest by:
      • Uber - 15%
      • Legendary - 10%
      • Extreme - 7%
      • Super - 5%
      • Regular - 3%
  • All nests will give a tree seed reward with the possibility of a ring OR the rare chance of an Uncut onyx
  • If you obtain a god egg, it can be given as a gift to the gods by using it on any altar:
    • These eggs will reward you with prayer experience, as well as the chance of obtaining a piece of the Evil chicken outfit!
      • The Evil chicken outfit pieces are tradable.
  • After opening the nest, it can be crushed with a Pestle and mortar to be used as a Herblore ingredient (specifically for Ironmen)
• Trading Giant mole skins and claws:
  • You can now trade in your skins and claws from defeating the Giant mole which has been a thorn in Wyson the gardener's side for years.
    • Wyson will be more than happy to give you 1 Bird nest for every 10 claws, or for every 20 skins.
    • (Unlike in OSRS, it is possible for these nests to be God egg nests.)
      • 20 Mole skins = 1 random Bird nest
      • 10 Mole claws = 1 random Bird nest
• Fishing update ~ Clue bottles!
  • There is now a random chance of a Clue bottle settling ashore!
    • The chance to obtain one is determined by the level of the fish you are catching
  • This rate is reduced by these %s for donators:
    • 15% for Uber
    • 10% for Legendary
    • 7% for Extreme
    • 3% for Regular
  • Easy, Medium, Hard and Elite clue bottles
    • Opening a Clue bottle will guarantee 1 clue scroll of the same type
    • There is also a chance to obtain Corrupted armour when opening a Clue bottle!
      • This armour is untradable.
• Looting bag now functional!
  • An update that is long past due, the Looting bag is now available for players to use!
  • Obtainable from killing many different enemies in the wilderness
  • Able to store 28 items within -- it is essentially a second inventory that can ONLY be used within the wilderness.
    • The only way to remove the items, though, is to bank the looting bag or to die with it.
      • Banking the looting bag will insert all of its contents into the bank.
      • Dying with the looting bag will release all of the items no matter what.
        • If you died to another player, it will drop for them. Otherwise, the items will only be visible to you for a few minutes.
• Rune pouch fixes:
  • Previously, the rune pouch would be usable even if it was not in your inventory (banked with runes). This has been fixed.
  • It would also show that you indeed had runes to use on your spellbook and would light up spells, which has also been fixed.
• Climbing boots access for Ironmen:
  • You can now obtain a pair of Climbing boots from Hamal the Chieftain's shop after completing the Mountain daughter quest.
• Forum update:
  • Uber rank donator image has been added thanks to @Jedzio
• Hiscores update:
  • Overall XP will no longer be limited to 2.147m and will now show the correct value.
• Shop changes:
  • Bounty teleport scroll added for 150 tokens

 

• [Wilderness updates]
• Wilderness Multi-lines fixed:
  • All multi-zones have been corrected. Some areas were incorrectly multi-zones, and some boundaries were also slightly off.
    • The previous multi zone south-west of the graveyard should not have been multi at all and has been removed.
    • Certain areas such as slightly east of Black chinchompas spanning to the Red Dragon Isle which are supposed to be multi were not.
    • Multi-zone surrounding the Lava maze had boundaries that were slightly off.
    • Wilderness agility course boundaries were way off, the arena itself is not multi at all. Matched to OSRS.
  • A ton of time was spent walking around the wilderness on OSRS to make sure these zones were accurate -- but in case an area is incorrect, please PM me to let me know the exact area.
• Teleportation ~ Cancelling incoming damage:
  • Teleporting with jewellery will now cancel incoming damage similarly to how spellbooks/levers/teleport tablets do.
  • The way this functionality is handled has been changed a bit to ensure that no damage will be taken, even delayed damage -- except that from poison.
• Mage Arena changes:
  • Melee/ranged PvP combat is no longer allowed within the Mage arena.
  • Similarly to fighting against Battle mages, you can only use Magic spells in PvP from this point moving forward.
  • This covers all areas within the arena once you teleport through the lever, meaning the sides of the arena are also Magic only.
• Bounty teleport added:
  • Unlocked through a *tradable* Bounty teleport scroll -- Purchasable from the PKP shop or web store.
    • Spell works from either the Normal, Ancient or Lunar spellbooks with a requirement of 85 Magic.
    • Requires 1 Law rune, 1 Death rune and 1 Chaos rune and grants 45 experience.
    • Chance of not using runes to cast with a Staff of the dead/SOTD or Kodai wand.
  • Function:
    • Will teleport you within 12 squares of your target, as long as you are both in the wilderness and you are not teleblocked or in combat.
• PKP Shop updates:
  • Dragon claws, Abyssal dagger and Heavy ballista removed from PKP shop.
  • Bounty teleport scroll added to PKP shop
  • Overall PKP prices slightly increased
• Emblem exchange changes:
  • Emblems will now give 30% more coins and 25% less PKP.
• Food->Combat delay fixed:
  • Eating food (not potions) will now have a more accurate delay before being able to attack again.
  • This includes certain healing potions, including: Saradomin brews, Guthix rest, and Xeric's aid.
• Teleblock fix:
  • Previously, a player could turn on Protect from Magic very late after the teleblock spell is casted and still be protected from it and halve its time.
  • This was incorrect, as the "check" for protection prayer should be checked for immediately when the attacker casts the spell and not after that.
• Ranged fixes in PvP(and PvM):
  • Many players are aware that many bolt specials were broken and mostly non-functional. These have been fixed to balance the combat triangle:
    • Dragon bolts (e) effect:
      • Damage increased by 45%
      • Does not work if the enemy is wearing an Anti-dragon shield, Dragonfire shield or drank an Anti-fire potion.
    • Diamond bolts (e) effect:
      • Increases max hit by 15%
      • Lowers target's Ranged defence by 25%
    • Onyx bolts (e) effect:
      • Damage increased by 20%
      • Heal your health by 25% of the damage dealt
      • The healing part of this special was already functional before, but not the damage increase.
    • (Emerald bolts (e) effect tweaked as well)
