Hello everyone,
I hope you've all been enjoying last week's construction update! Overall, the launch went smoothly, but as anticipated there were numerous bugs that we'd like to address in this update. We've covered almost every bug that was reported, with a few small outstanding bugs and missing construction content which will likely come in the update that follows today's. Keep an eye out for some Halloween content coming to Alora very soon 
- Plank make changes:
- Rather than limiting it to donators, we’ve decided to make the spell more similar to how it is in OSRS and simply add benefits to using it as a donator. The spell makes 1 plank per cast in OSRS, and this is now the default on Alora as well. With that being said, donators will be able to do more planks per cast as follows:
- All players: 1 plank per cast
- Donator: 2 planks
- Super: 3 planks
- Extreme: 4 planks
- Legendary: 5 planks
- Uber: 7 planks
- NOTE: The cost per plank does not change! If you are uber, you are still paying for 7 planks. All plank costs are 70% of that at the Sawmill operator, no matter what donator rank you are.
- After casting the spell, you will automatically be set back to your magic spell book to cast again (similar to when alching items)

- Pet house fix:
- Previously, any insured pets could not be put into your pet house. You could have 5 pets in your inventory, but only be able to add one or two that weren’t insured. This has been fixed, and all pets can be put into your pet house now, insured or not.
- Cape hanger fix:
- The Cape hanger in the achievement gallery was not properly saving the cape you hung on it. This has been fixed, and all capes from this point on will save as intended.
- Combat ring changes:
- Previously, only the boxing ring could be climbed into.
- The other two rings are now fixed:
- Combat ring
- Fencing ring
- Golden hammer is no longer tradable.
- This item was not intended to be tradable.
- Throne room fixes:
- Benches:
- Previously, you could not sit on benches within the throne room. This has been fixed, but you may need to rebuild the benches if you already have them built before the update.
- Floor decoration:
- You can now build a few different floor decorations in your throne room.
- Benches:
- House ladder fix:
- Going upstairs would sometimes take you to a random location outside of your house. This has been fixed.
- Sawmill clarification:
- The sawmill charges 15k per Mahogany plank. Many people believed this to be a bug because the plank-making interface lists it as 1.5k. This is the OSRS price, but since obtaining GP is much easier on Alora, we cannot charge 1.5k. All of the planks’ prices were higher for this reason.
- To prevent confusion, we’ve updated the interface to list the correct price. Nothing else has changed.

- Bones on altar changes:
- To promote the use of houses, the altar at home can no longer be used for bones on altar.
- To obtain the bonus experience, you must use your bones on an altar located in your house or another player’s house.
- To promote the use of houses, the altar at home can no longer be used for bones on altar.
- Servant fix:
- You can no longer hire servants without the required level.
- Fixed head mounts within houses’ hall rooms:
- You could not properly mount your KBD/KQ/Abyssal heads within your house. This was due to the item ID being wrong. OSRS has a stuffed version which you must pay the taxidermy in Varrock, and this is the item we were incorrectly using for the requirements.
- Any heads you wanted to mount will now be mountable.

- Object requirement changes:
- Restoration pool:
- Rejuvenation pool:
- Revitalization pool:
- Rune case:
- These pools, and the rune case, required body runes to create, which are essentially unobtainable at the moment for some players, so we have changed the requirement to mind runes.
- Additionally, there was another bug causing rune cases to not be able to be built which has also been fixed.
- Otherworldly theme:
- This theme in the superior garden could not be built due to the requirement of Magic secateurs being unobtainable. This requirement has been changed to normal secateurs.
- Occult altar:
- This altar required a Pharaoh’s sceptre which is far too expensive for the purpose the altar serves. We’ve replaced the sceptre with a requirement of 2 more Magic stones (3 in total).
- Ironman supply shop update:
- Rope has been added to this shop.
- Miscellaneous:
- Some players were getting “frozen” while trying to build new rooms. This has been fixed.
- Small herblore QOL:
- When using “Make-all” option on potion creation, it would say “Enter amount to cut:” rather than “Enter amount to make:”.
- ::giverandom command for staff has been fixed.
- Trade QOL:
- On the second trade screen, item amounts will now be formatted.
- Eg. Instead of seeing “Coins x 100000000” you will see “Coins x 100,000,000”
- On the second trade screen, item amounts will now be formatted.
- House teleport spell in spell book fix:
- The house teleport spell will now teleport you to your house. If you are already in your house, it will teleport you home.
- Item requirement fixed:
- Adamant gloves are now 13 defence.
- Rune gloves are now 34 defence.
- This is due to the fact that these gloves are impossible to obtain without 34 defence on OSRS.
- Granite body / legs now require 50 defence to wear.
- Clan chat fix:
- Ironman symbols next to names in clan chat messages were broken for some players. This has been fixed.
- Light ballista fixed:
- Previously, the light ballista could not be fully crafted. This has been fixed and the weapon now functions properly.
We hope this makes training construction even more enjoyable! :)

Omicron
I really hope to see a slight increase in drops
