Hello everyone,
I apologize for the late update! Of course, yesterday was Alora’s birthday, and I wanted to push the update then but was conflicted between continuing to work on Grotesque Guardians or just pushing the event by itself. I decided it’d be a much nicer update to have the new gargoyle bosses released alongside the birthday event, and that is why it was postponed. Nonetheless, the update is here and you’ll be able to participate in the event and hunt down those new gargoyle bosses right after!
Note: You will need a client update to play following this update! For most of you, this simply means restarting the client and clicking "Yes" when asked if you want to update. For those of you who have the RAR client, you'll need to re-download it manually from the client page.
- Miscellaneous:
- Duel arena fix:
- Items can no longer be picked up or dropped within the Duel arena.
- Duel arena fix:
- Engine performance update:
- We’ve made some changes to the game engine in hopes of reducing the processing delay of players every cycle. We’re going to continue to monitor this and make the necessary changes to ensure that the server doesn’t lag after extended periods of uptime.
- Trade interface fix:
- Very often in-game, the second trade window would say “You are about to trade: Item” without listing the items in the trade, or would show “Trading with: Other” instead of the other player’s name. Both of these issues have been fixed.
- Thieving update:
- You can now thieve cakes from the Ardougne cake stalls with level 5 Thieving.
- Lost items shop update:
- New items that will be protected upon death:
- Jonas mask:
- Reclaim cost: 250k
- Birthday hat:
- Reclaim cost: 250k
- Jonas mask:
- New items that will be protected upon death:
- Zulrah fix:
- Sometimes, Zulrah would be invisible once it goes down under and wouldn’t come back up again for a long time. This should no longer happen, and you’ll be able to see Zulrah as soon as it comes back up.
- Inferno fix:
- JalTok-Jad should no longer go invisible in the final wave.
- Birthday Event:
- Claus the Chef is distressed and in need of help! He’s preparing a huge cake for all of Alora to celebrate, but can’t seem to get it right without special ingredients.
- Talk to Claus in Edgeville, near the western house (where the cooking range is) to see what he needs to make the birthday cake for this year’s celebration.
- You’ll be sent on a journey across Alora to obtain these items, but you’ll be rewarded with a cool celebratory item that will help you remember this event for years to come!

- Grotesque Guardians:
- Recently released in OSRS, this pair of Gargoyles — Dawn and Dusk — terrorize the rooftop of the Slayer tower.
- You’ll need to find a brittle key — occasionally dropped by regular Gargoyles at a rate of about 1/121, to unlock the portal to access the roof.
- These gargoyles are highly unusual, and you’ll need stay on your toes while fighting them to make sure that you can leave the rooftop alive!
- Notable Rewards:
- Granite dust:
- You can mix this dust with Cannonballs to make Granite cannonballs.
- These cannonballs have a max hit of 35 rather than the usual max hit of 30.
- You can only have one type of cannonball in your cannon, so if you still have 10 regular cannonballs left in your cannon, you’ll need to fire them all before loading any granite balls, and vice-versa.
- You can mix this dust with Cannonballs to make Granite cannonballs.
- Granite hammer:
- A hammer requiring level 50 attack and strength, with a special attack that has one powerful swing at 50% increased accuracy, requiring 60% special energy.
- Granite gloves:
- Gloves requiring level 50 defence, slightly superior to Adamant gloves.
- Granite ring:
- A ring requiring level 50 defence.
- Can be imbued with a scroll, effectively doubling its bonuses.
- A ring requiring level 50 defence.
- Black tourmaline core:
- Can be merged with Bandos boots, leaving you with Guardian boots — which have the best defensive melee bonus in-game.
- Jar of stone
- Noon:
- Arguably the coolest looking pet now available in Alora, which can also be changed to it’s gargoyle variant, Midnight, through the metamorphosis option!
- Granite dust:
- Notes:
- This is a safe death, which means you’ll keep your items, BUT a dangerous one for HCIM who will lose their rank if they die here. You’ve been warned.
- Level 75 Slayer is required to enter the portal.
- Another huge thanks to @Chase for the wonderful work on the homepage slogan (Grotesque guardians await you)!
- Recently released in OSRS, this pair of Gargoyles — Dawn and Dusk — terrorize the rooftop of the Slayer tower.
Good luck with the birthday event & gargoyle hunting!
