literally lost d- harpoon because the un-noted pure essence. I guess im not getting that back and I guess when you get a rare from wyrms ur rng needs to roll again for where it drops. Either on pure essence pile or not on a pure essence pile.

Truly wonderful update, Good work @Omicron. 

[Omicron]

@Elite Arex I've confirmed that you did indeed receive the drop but weren't able to loot it, and will refund it to you :) An update is coming in about 30 mins to fix all reported bugs (including the pure essence one).

[Elite Arex]

Hotfixes: (27/01/19)

 

Considering the scale of the previous update, there were bound to be a few bugs. Thankfully, you guys were great at reporting them quickly and I’ve been working hard to patch them up as quickly as possible. Here are the latest fixes and updates, Hydra should feel much smoother and more similar to OSRS now   :)

 

• Slayer tasks:
  • Slayer points will now be deducted for cancelling Konar’s Slayer tasks, the absolute minimum deduction (assuming Super donator status) is 3 points to cancel one of her tasks.
  • Slayer helmet, and other damage/accuracy enhancing equipment will now work on Konar’s tasks.
  • Konar’s tasks that did not deduct / add XP have been fixed.
  • Obtaining a task you shouldn’t be able to (eg. Catacomb Abyssal demons at level 30 Slayer) should no longer happen from Konar’s tasks.
• General:
  • It should be easier to log in to the server following an update.
    • There are many players attempting to log in during the first few minutes of a server reboot, which slows things down and makes it difficult to get online. We’ve tweaked the login system a bit to be able to get more players in without trouble.
• Alchemical Hydra:
  • Fight mechanics:
    • Prayer now blocks 100% of damage for Ranged/Magic attacks.
    • The distance which the shock attack travels has been reduced by 1 step.
    • The distance which the “tracking fire” attack travels has been reduced by 1 step.
    • Attack timing slightly tweaked, previously special attacks would count as 1 attack and mess up the order.
      • For example, the first phase should attack 3x mage, 3x range, 3x mage, 1x special, then back to 3x range, then restart the loop. Instead of going back to 3x range after the special, it would count the special as an attack and only hit twice with range.
      • Tweak #2: The timing of the special attacks will always be after the first 3 attacks on each phase.
    • Fire phase:
      • You will now be locked into the side/corner which you are in when the fire wall is constructed, and can not leave this area until the wall is taken down.
      • Fixed a bug which caused Hydra to get stuck in the centre of the room.
    • At the start of each phase, Hydra has 75% more defence than usual. You usually need to lure Hydra over the correct pool of acid to reduce it’s defences, and then the rest of that phase your damage on it will be normal.
      • This was bugged, as you needed to keep Hydra near the pool for the entire phase. You no longer need to do this, and should only have to have it near the pool once per phase (“watch the for “Roaaaar” message above Hydra’s head).
    • Gray/final phase:
      • Will always start first attack with the opposite of the last attack style of the previous phase, switches every attack (jad phase).
  • General:
    • Respawn:
      • Hydra will now respown after approximately 60 seconds.
    • Dragon hunter crossbow / Dragon hunter lance both now apply their damage/accuracy increases when fighting the Alchemical Hydra, and the regular Hydras.
    • When entering the lair, the requirements were flipped (if you had a Hydra task, you wouldn’t be let in).
      • You now must have a Hydra task to enter the Alchemical hydra lair.
  • Drops:
    • Hydra’s eye/fang/heart will now announce over yell when received as a drop.
      • Players will no longer receive doubles of an item if they are missing other pieces of the items required to create the Brimstone ring.
        • The order players receive the items in are: Hydra's eye, Hydra's fang and finally Hydra's heart.
        • If you have all 3 already in your bank/inventory, you will receive a random piece, but if you are missing one, you will receive the piece that you require.
    • Fixed the pet announce as “Hydra1” rather than “Ikkle Hydra”
• Karuulm Slayer dungeon:
  • The task-only areas for these bosses can now properly be entered if you are on the correct task.
  • Wyrms:
    • Pure essence drops are now noted.
  • Sulphur lizards:
    • Can now be attacked, and are aggressive.
• Miscellaneous:
  • Using Wyrm/Drake/Hydra bones on an altar will now work as intended.
