13. Player versus Player (PvP)
Alora is not held responsible for members who have lost, disconnected, etc., while in the wilderness. The wilderness, or 'No man's land', if you will, for the most part, has no restrictions; hence why it can be referred to as 'No man's land'. However, we do have a few rules:
• a. PvP-Farming will be an automatic permanent ban with no chance of appeal on all accounts involved, followed up by an IP-Ban.
• b. Luring is allowed for the most part. The few exceptions to this rule are members cannot attempt to lure via world yell or servers clan chats such as Alora and Help. Attempting to lure staff by asking for help whilst in the wilderness or anything else that involves blatant deception will result in a ban. The first offense will result in a 24-hour ban followed up by a 72-hour ban with the ending result being a 7-day ban + bank wipe.
• c.Attacking another player while you only have 1 item or essentially no valuable risk with the intent to negatively affect another player's experience in the wilderness is against the rules and will not be tolerated. (ex. Using a ZGS and constantly returning to a specific area or person and harassing the player.) This rule is applied to the entirety of PvP across Alora.
However, certain areas of PvP will follow specific rules. While in Edgeville and ::edgepvp, the act of griefing fights will not be allowed. (ex. Walking over players constantly or placing items such as cannons down.)
Pjing/Rushing is allowed; But if reported with sufficient evidence of being an on-going issue and considered harassment, it will be dealt with by staff discretion.
First offenders will receive a 5-hour jail followed by a 24-hour ban, increasing to a 7-day ban, and finally, a permanent ban.
• d. X-Logging from the server will result in a 24-hour ban, then a 48-hour ban, and finally, a permanent ban, as doing this causes an unfair advantage for other members of the community.

• e. Intentionally throwing or actively participating in the farming of Castlewars games in an attempt to earn quick and easy tickets will not be tolerated. First offenders will receive a 24-hour ban as well as a wipe of ALL Castlewars tickets/rewards, followed by a 48-hour ban, and finally, a permanent ban.
Brief explanation:With the addition of Castlewars to the game, we have to draw the line that farming these tickets unfairly without actually playing the game is something that will not be tolerated. This rule will be enforced via staff discretion.
God's blessing timer from playing Castle Wars is now stackable.
Time before the game starts increased from 90 seconds to 120.
In the waiting room, the "Time left in the current game" was wrong and now shows the correct time.
You can no longer teleport out of the waiting room (You can leave through the portal).
Upon dying, autocast will no longer be canceled.
Helmets and capes can no longer be worn inside.
A bug with staircases which kept you in the game after it ended has been fixed.
A game announcement will now be sent to players to announce that another Castle Wars game is starting in 2 minutes.
Voting changes:
Due to some vote websites not always working correctly, especially, lately, we've changed the required # of votes to 3/5.
Gem bag has been added to the Vote shop as intended (500 points).
Hello everyone,
Today's update brings a classic mini-game with it... Castle Wars! You can now hop right in and help your team to capture as many flags as possible, with a unique twist on the rewards table. Rewards include some convenient items for ironmen such as runes, herb boxes, seed packs, as well as many cosmetics such as the Saradomin hoods/capes/banners that are on OSRS, but also some items unique to our reward shop such as the new Dagon'hai robes! Aside from this, many QOL updates and bug fixes have also been applied, such as some reductions on Trading post taxes for online players, and a new search functionality that lists online players first.
Without further ado...
Castle Wars:
The Castle Wars mini-game is now released! Hop right in by using the Teleport wizard or typing in ;;cwars
Lobby:
You can enter any of the three God portals: Zamorak, Guthix or Saradomin
Be warned, if you enter a portal wearing the armour of another God (eg. Entering Zamorak wearing a Guthix d'hide piece), you will be converted into an animal of their choice! (Sheep, Imp or Rabbit)
In-game:
Underground tunnels:
The tunnels can be used to travel underground and can be entered from either base (Sara/Zammy), as well as in the center of the battleground.
Within these tunnels, you may encounter some collapsed rocks. You can mine these away with a pickaxe, or use 2 explosive potions to take them down.
You can also collapse a wall yourself to create a rock deposit and block players from following you, but this also requires either 1 explosive potion or a pickaxe, which takes slightly longer.
If you collapse a wall which has players standing near it (where the rocks fall), any players in this zone will be instantly killed (including your team-mates).
At the start of every game, all sides of the tunnel (North/east/south/west) will have rock deposits that you must break your way through.
Objective:
You must capture the other team's flag while protecting your own. You can protect your own by setting up barricades to deter other players, keeping the underground tunnels protected and monitoring the castle walls and holding players off.
Rewards:
You will receive Castle Wars tickets as follows upon completion of a game:
Shut-out win (1-0) = 3 tickets to winning team, 1 ticket for losing team.
Regular win (2-1) = 2 tickets to the winning team, 1 ticket for losing team.
Scoreless tie (0-0) = 2 tickets for both teams.
Regular tie (1-1) = 1 ticket for both teams.
Donator bonus:
If you are an Extreme donator or higher, you will receive 1 bonus ticket per game.
If you are Uber donator or higher, you will receive 2 bonus tickets per game.
Server bonus:
Event managers can set Castle Wars events to give bonus tickets! (Up to 1.5x, but will give a minimum of 1 extra ticket always.
Ticket Exchange:
Lanthus can exchange your tickets for the following rewards:
Castle wars hoods (Saradomin or Zamorak)
50 tickets
Castle wars capes (Saradomin or Zamorak)
100 tickets
Castle wars banners (Saradomin or Zamorak)
250 tickets
Seed pack:
4 tickets
Herb box:
4 tickets
Dagon'hai outfit:
250 tickets for hat
500 tickets for top OR bottom
Rat pole
40 tickets
Gadderhammer
60 tickets
Sheep pet
250 tickets
Castle wars bracelet (1)
1 ticket
This bracelet is a single-use bracelet that gives you +20% damage and makes bandaids heal 50% more in the Castle wars arena. It is removed after the game. It is also tradable.
Blessing of The Gods:
Upon the completion of each successful game, you will receive 20, 15, or 10 minutes on your Blessing of the Gods timer (20% bonus XP) depending on whether your team won, tied, or lost, respectively.
To make this a viable method of obtaining bonus XP, your blessing timer will not go down while you are playing Castle Wars (in the waiting area or in-game).
Additionally, you are required to participate in the mini-game (dealing damage, setting up barriers, etc) to obtain this blessing as well as tickets in general.
The timer doesn't work in the Castle wars mini-game either, so you won't be able to perform any skilling tasks while inside to benefit from the 'frozen' XP bonus.
Herb box:
Herb boxes are now available! You can receive 10 random herbs from these boxes, including:
At the moment, the only method of obtaining these boxes is through the Castle Wars Ticket Exchange.
Trading Post Updates:
To make the Trading post more convenient, we are adding three new features:
1. Online sellers show up first
When searching for a specific item on the Trading Post, by default the listings at the top will be for sellers who are online. This gives buyers the opportunity to negotiate with online sellers more easily.
2. Online status is shown on listings
No matter where you are searching, you will be able to easily see the online/offline status of the seller.
3. Trading post fee reimbursement
To lessen the burden of the Trading post fees, sellers who are online will receive 50% of the total fees collected from the sale. This will allow sellers to offer a lower price to sell their items as long as they are online at the time of sale.
For example, if you sell a bond for 400m, 10m is added as tax, bringing the total to 102.5m.
If you are online when this item is sold, you will collect 405m.
If you are offline when this item is sold, you will collect 400m.
Vote shop reward updates:
Numerous items have been added to the Vote shop:
Instance tokens - 80 vote points PER token
We've decided to add an alternative method from the donation store to obtaining these tokens.
Rogue outfit:
This exclusive, never-seen-before cosmetic outfit can only be obtained from the Vote store and costs 4,000 vote points for the full set.
NOTE: This cost is reduced by 50% for Classics/EIM/Realism/HCIM/GIM.
This is due to the fact that they can only open Vote books once every few hours and are more limited, and also that the Rogue outfit is not tradable.
Price per piece:
Trousers/Top - 1,250 each
Mask - 1,000 points
Boots/Gloves - 500 each
Gem bag - 500 vote points
Details found below.
Realism mode changes:
The PKP exchange can now be used by Realism players, though it is similar to the Ironman PKP exchange in that the stock is not as overpowered as the normal PKP exchange.
Realism players can now sell back to the General store.
Rogue outfit:
(Obtained from the Vote shop)
The Rogue outfit pieces each provide a % chance of receiving double loot when pickpocketing NPCs (Full set effect: 18%).
Bonus chance:
Mask - 4%
Top - 5%
Trousers - 5%
Boots - 2%
Gloves - 2%
You will receive the following hatbox message when your set helps you steal double the loot:
"Your rogue outfit allows you to stealthily steal double the loot."
Gem bag: (Thanks to @
GIM Rockstar
for the suggestion!)
The Gem bag can now be used to store 60 of each of the following gems (300 total):
Uncut sapphire
Uncut emerald
Uncut ruby
Uncut diamond
Uncut dragonstone
This bag can be used when slaying monsters that drop gems frequently, or when gem mining. You can also use it when crafting jewelry, to quickly withdraw gems that you are cutting.
Obtaining:
There are currently two methods of obtaining the Gem bag:
Vote shop - 500 vote points
Donation store - 75 tokens
Losing on death:
If lost on death, you can reclaim the bag from the Lost items manager for 250,000 GP.
Instance refunds:
If you have an active instance with at least 30 minutes remaining on the clock (1/3 of the total room time) when the 5-minute update timer starts, you will automatically receive an instance token to open a new instance when the server restarts.
You will no longer be able to open instances when a pending update is announced 10 minutes before the timer starts (when Raids are disabled).
Superglass make spell fix:
This spell will now yield an extra 30% Molten glass as intended (no extra experience).
Bank search bugs fixed:
A bug that occurred when searching for items in the bank that prevented you from withdrawing them (when not on the main tab) has now been fixed.
Another bug, which quickly closed the search interface after clicking it, has also been fixed.
Collection log fixes:
Dragon chainbody drop (found in the Slayer, Thermonuclear Smoke Devil, and Kalphite Queen sections) was not properly being counted when received and has been fixed.
Banner animation fixes:
All in-game banners (eg. Arceuus, Western, etc) had the wrong animations, and would be held 'backwards'.
We've fixed all of these animations to make them look how they should, including stand, walk, run, block, and attack animations.
Miscellaneous:
The chance of inflicting an enemy with venom when wearing a Serpentine helmet now works for Tanzanite and Magma helmets.
A few bad ram/goblin spawns in Lumbridge have been fixed.

Requirement fixes:
Dragon full helmet now requires 60 Defence to wear.

Arclight fixes:

Attack speed is now much faster, with the same speed as a whip.
Special attack:
The 'Weaken' special attack has been implemented:
Weaken, which uses 50% of the player's special attack energy and lowers the opponent's Strength, Attack, and Defence levels by 5% (10% for demons). Weaken's effect is only applied if it is a successful hit. Use of the special attack does not detract from Arclight's charges.
Dragon Warhammer special attack fix:
The Dragon Warhammer special attack was not properly 'stacking' on NPCs.
It will now work properly, with 2 successful special attacks reducing your enemy's defence by 51%. (30% lower each time, based on the current level)

The Teleblock projectile has been changed to match OSRS (purple projectile if it's going to land, otherwise gray projectile).
The experience for a TB that lands is now 95, otherwise it is 84.
Teleblock will now never do any damage.
Teleblock is now removed upon logout (along with the timer) as it is in OSRS.

Hello everyone,
Today's update comes with an exciting announcement: We now have another developer! Many of you are aware that Alora has been solo-developed for most of the past few years. In the last few months, my brother (Chad), who many of you already know and have interacted with, has taken the time to familiarize himself with Alora's code and has reached a point where we both feel confident having him work on updates full-time. He is a programmer as well, and he is more than capable of adding quality updates to Alora. This update is the result of that, and we're excited to return to doing large weekly updates to keep things fresh!
This update contains a bunch of new content, including Birdhouses, Skillcape perks, Barbarian fishing, Ents, Larran's key (Wilderness Slayer key) and more. We made sure that there was something for everyone in this one, so we hope that you enjoy it :)
Vote book personalization:
Vote books now allow you to choose what type of bonus you'd like to enable once every 12 hours!
Rather than only being an XP boost, you can choose from the following boosts:
(All of the boosts below stack with other bonuses, such as Weekend bonuses)
XP - 60 minutes of 50% boost
PKP - 45 minutes of 25% boost
Slayer points - 45 minutes of 25% boost
Barrows points - 45 minutes of 25% boost
Pest control - 45 minutes of 25% boost
Castle wars - 45 minutes of 25% boost
Raids - 45 minutes of 5% boost
Notes:
You'll still be able to open other vote books before 12 hours has passed (unless your game mode restricts it), but they will only allow you to select XP bonus.
Donator bonuses work on these skills, as you'll see below in the GIF I actually receive 67 minutes of Raids bonus rather than 45 due to my Immortal donator giving me 1.5x the usual time.
Boost Display:
A new button in your quest tab has been added to display a full list of your active experience boosts!
Boosts displayed:
Server boosts (eg. Weekend events)
Vote boosts (eg. From the list above)
Boosters (eg. Drop booster from donation store)
Other (eg. Gods blessing timer from fighting God bosses or playing Castle Wars)
Minnow fishing:
Donators can now take the rowboat from the Fishing guild to the Minnow platform!
Equipped with a small net and level 82 Fishing, you can fish minnows on the platform. You will receive minnows in bunches of 10-14, granting 26.1 experience per bunch.
You can then exchange these Minnows for noted Sharks with Kylie Minnow on the platform.
Note:
After you have amassed 3,000 minnows in your inventory, you can no longer fish anymore on the platform. You will either have to exchange them through Kylie or bank them to continue fishing.
Realism rapier:
As promised, the Realism-only weapon is now available! You can obtain the Realism rapier by speaking to Paul at home. The cost is 500k GP, as it is a relatively powerful weapon.
This rapier is slightly more powerful than a Dragon scimitar, though it has a high stab bonus rather than slash. It has an Attack requirement slightly lower than that of the Dragon scimitar, at level 50 Attack.
When fighting with this sword, it has the same graceful rapier animations as the Ghrazi rapier.
The sword is untradeable and can be reclaimed from Paul if lost on death.
Bonuses:
+70 Stab
+45 Slash
+67 Strength
Birdhouses:
Birdhouses can now be used to train Hunter on Fossil Island!
Location:
To reach this area, you can use the Skilling menu through the Teleport wizard.
Creation:
Birdhouses are created by using Clockworks (purchasable in the Construction supply store) with any type of log while having a hammer and chisel in your inventory:
The type of birdhouse created, Crafting level required to create it and XP gained, as well as the Hunter level required to set up the birdhouse depends on the logs used. A table has been posted below with all of the details.
Setting up:
Birdhouses can be set up in 4 different locations across Fossil island, which you can quickly teleport between using the Magic Mushtree network.
You can use any birdhouse on any one of these 4 spaces to set up a birdhouse trap.
Once set up, you'll need to fill it with 10 of any Hops seed or Herb seed. If using a Wildblood seed, or any Herb seed that is Ranarr or higher, it will count as 2 seeds and you will only need 5.
Managing:
After depositing 10 seeds, the trap will begin to catch birds. It will catch 1 bird every 5 to 10 minutes. After catching 10 birds, you will be notified by chatbox message that one of your traps is full.
At any time during the process, you can dismantle your birdhouse to re-obtain the Clockwork. You will only ever need 4 Clockworks.
If your trap caught any birds, you will receive 5-6 feathers per bird and 1 raw bird meat (dropped on the ground).
When dismantling a trap with birds, you have the chance to receive Bird's nests at the following rate (per bird caught):
Regular - 5%
Oak - 7.5%
Willow - 10%
Teak - 12.5%
Maple - 15%
Mahogany - 17.5%
Yew - 20%
Redwood - 25%
Barbarian fishing:
Players can now fish Sturgeon, Trout, and Salmon at Otto's grotto to earn Agility and Strength experience alongside the usual Fishing. XP.
Players who wish to fish here must have a Barbarian rod and bait.
Barbarian rods can be purchased from Gerrant's fishing shop, or players can search the barbarian bed in Otto's house to obtain one.
Requirements:
All fish ~ 15 Strength and Agility
Trout ~ 48 Fishing
Salmon ~ 58 Fishing
Sturgeon ~ 70 Fishing
Access:
You can use the Teleport Wizard to teleport here, by navigating to the Skilling menu. (Location name: Otto's Grotto)
Arclight fix:
Although the Arclight did indeed reduce enemy Defence and was stackable, it was not properly stacking for Attack/Strength reductions.
It should now work as intended, reducing all three in a stackable manner.
Additionally, the stacking effect was being added multiplicatively manner, similar to the Dragon Warhammer special (meaning each special attack would reduce the enemy's stats by a lower amount than the last) rather than additively.
It will now be stacking additively, meaning each hit will indeed reduce enemy stats by 5% (or 10% if against a Demon) rather than a lower percentage each hit.
Ents:
Ents found in the wilderness can now be chopped after dying.
Chopping their remains will allow you to obtain several sets of noted logs according to your Woodcutting level.
You also gain 25 experience per set of logs (no matter the type).
You can receive better logs when using a Rune or Dragon axe.
Larran's Key:
Larran's key has been added! Players have a chance to receive Larran's key (a stackable item) by killing monsters on their wilderness slayer task. Players can then go to either Larran's chest (big, in deep wilderness, or small, in low wilderness) and open it to receive items.
Items in the chest are similar to Brimstone chest, but with the unique items removed.
The big chest has better drops than the small chest due to the danger of opening it in deep wilderness.
Graceful fixes:
Wearing mixed pieces of Graceful was not working properly and has now been fixed to give the same effect no matter which combination you are wearing.
Castle Wars:
The time between using bandages has been cut in half.
Kills and deaths will now be displayed in the chatbox at the end of a match.
Rather than 10 barricades per player, the limit is now 10 barricades per team as intended.
Clue scroll changes:
You can now right-click clue scrolls to check how many steps you've completed on them.
Weapon fixes:
Toktz-xil-ul (Obsidian rings) now work as intended.
General content updates:
Ugthanki kebabs are now edible, and heal 19 HP, causing your player to exclaim "Yum!".
Cave horrors can now be assigned as a Hard slayer task, ranging between 40-110 assigned.
2 Red spider egg spawns have been added to Varrock sewers, to match OSRS.
Skillcape perk updates:
Attack skillcape:
Wearing this skillcape grants free access to the Cyclops room in the Warrior's guild, and will not deduct any tokens when you are inside the room as long as you are wearing the cape.
Strength skillcape:
You can now use the Strength cape to teleport directly to the Warrior's guild.
Prayer skillcape:
Players wearing the prayer cape (or trimmed, or max cape) will now receive an extra 2% of their current prayer added to their total prayer from drinking any potion that restores prayer.
Construction skillcape:
Players can now right-click to teleport to their house with the construction cape.
Runecrafting skillcape:
Although not in OSRS, we have added a perk which gives a bonus amount of runes based on the total amount crafted with multipliers. For example, if you're crafting double natures, instead of 56, if your multiplier is 15%, you'll get 64.
The bonuses are as follows, and require all players to be wearing either a runecrafting skillcape or max cape:
Regular player, Donator or Super donator: 5%
Extreme/Legendary donator: 8%
Uber donator: 10%
Master donator: 12%
Immortal donator: 15%
Agility skillcape:
Players can now use Agility skillcapes and the Max cape(s) as a graceful cape.
Thieving skillcape:
Players wearing Thieving skillcapes (or Max cape(s)) will now have a 10% lower chance of failing when pickpocketing or cracking safes.
Crafting skillcape:
Players can now use the cape to teleport to the Crafting guild an unlimited number of times.
Hunter skillcape:
You can now use this cape to teleport between 3 different Chinchompa areas:
Red chinchompas
Black chinchompas
Donator zone chinchompas
Mining skillcape:
You now have a 5% chance to get an extra ore when wearing this cape.
Smithing skillcape:
Players can now use the Smithing capes or Max cape(s) as Goldsmith gauntlets to get bonus XP whenever smelting or superheating gold ore.
Fishing skillcape:
Players can now use this cape to teleport to the Fishing guild and Otto's grotto.
Woodcutting skillcape:
Players now get a 10% boosted chance for a Bird's nest (stacks with donator benefits) if they're wearing a Woodcutting skillcape or Max cape.
Farming skillcape:
Farming yields are boosted by 5% if players harvest their crops wearing the farming cape.
Other capes:
Ardougne skill cape (and Max cape) teleports added:
You can now use these capes to teleport to the Ardougne farm or Monastery.
Monkey (completionist) cape now works for all of these effects.
Max cape teleports:
You can now use the Max cape right-click teleports to teleport to the following locations:
Fishing guild
Warrior's guild
Crafting guild
Otto's Grotto
Any Chinchompa teleport from the Hunter cape
Player-owned house
Miscellaneous / Bug fixes:
The Bandos altar in the Godwars Dungeon now works as intended.

This month I will be interviewing: Morgen and IM Moe
Mr. Zulrah himself and our own Arabian Knight!
Welcome to the casting couch
Morgen
!!!
Groot
: If you could travel anywhere in the world for free where would you go and why?
Morgen
: I'd go to Spain, I've been there before and loved it the weather was always lovely and the McDonald's is the best I've ever had, for real its great, and my grandad saw Bale out there (football player) when he went.
Groot
: What do you enjoy the most about alora? (I'll guess its zulrah)
Morgen
: I'd say it's a tie between Zulrah and the community, obviously I love Zulrah I've spent most of my time on Alora killing it but the community it great specifically the memes and reactions of people getting low drop items, people loose there minds including myself when someone gets a low mutagen or pet :)
Groot
: When you're not playing alora what do you enjoy doing? Whether it's another game or something in the outside world.
Morgen
: I think my favourite thing to do when not playing Alora is movie nights, I always love watching films and so many great ones this year.
Groot
: Any of them in particular?
Morgen
: Marvel films, I am a huge nerd when it comes to superhero films
I am also excited for John Wick 3
Groot
: What are some of your favorite foods?
Morgen
: Am a simple man, am tied between fish and chipe or pizza and garlic bread
Groot
: If there was anything you could do in the world before you died what would you do and why?
Morgen
: That's a tough question because there is so much in the world to do, am a simple man, I'd love to different places and try out there food, I love food. I'd go to every country and see who has the best fried chicken legit, that's sounds like the dream
Groot
: What is your favorite era of history?
Morgen
: In my opinion my favourite specific area in history was when the computers were made it was called "The Z1" and created in the late 1930s, I think it's crazy how far we have come since and continue to.
The Man, The Myth, The Legend..
IM Moe
!!
Groot
: What do you find the most enjoyable within alora?
IM Moe
: The most enjoyable thing about Alora has to be the community and staff team. As cliche as that sounds, it is mostly just for the memes. A lot of friendship bonds have been forged, and there is always entertainment around the corner. I've never been apart of such an awesome gaming community.
Groot
: What would the perfect dinner menu consist of?
IM Moe
: I think it would have to be some Egyptian Macaroni Bechamel (it is the same as greece pastitsio) as the main dish, with a side of sirloin steak. I would also have some hummus on the side with some grilled pita bread.
Groot
: If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go and why?
IM Moe
:If I could travel anywhere in the world, I would go to Amsterdam. I've been to some other countries, but away from scenery there are things in Amsterdam I would love to try that I shouldn't discuss here. :wink:
Groot
: If you had the ability to go back in time and change anything within the course of history. What would you change and why?
IM Moe
: I think I would go back and stop 9/11, and also warn all government agencies of the outcomes from providing too much trust into operatives and operations. I think over the course of time, people have begun to realize the governments of all countries do shady shit for stupid results. I would love to fix that, because all it leads to is racism and violence.
Groot
:What would your dream car/truck/SUV be if you had no limitations on expenses?
IM Moe
:The 900hp Brabus Mercedes Benz Maybach S650 for sure. Perfect mix of luxury and sport. The fucking features are ridiculous. (Twin turbo V12:heart_eyes:)
Groot
: What is your most prideful achievement you've achieved in your life?
IM Moe
: During my junior year of high school, I was able to purchase my first sports car via cryptocurrency. I actually had to leave school early (called dad, told him to make an excuse and pick me up so I can go sell the coins.
Groot
: If you could change anything or add anything into Alora what would you do?
IM Moe
: I would love for
