Hello everyone,
We’re back with another weekly update! Today’s update contains a few more neat pieces of content such as the ability to hunt Salamanders, functionality to Explorer’s rings as well as the 3rd and 4th rings being released, request Farming shops with replenishing stock for ironmen, and respawn timer notifications for instanced rooms. On top of this, we’ve also managed to squeeze in some bug fixes and QOL!
In other news... we’ve also been working on some Raids 1 changes (storage chests and a few other things, such as tweaks to the Olm’s combat) that should be our next week if all goes according to plan!
- Salamander hunting:
- Players can now hunt Red, Orange, and Black salamanders, as well as swamp lizards.
-
- Traps can be set using a rope and a small net, and will expire after 2.5 minutes.
- Black salamanders:
- Black salamanders can be hunted in the area in level 20 wilderness if the player has at least 67 hunter.
- Red salamanders:
- Red salamanders can now be hunted in the area near ZMI if the player has at least 59 hunter.

- Teleport animation fixed:
- When using certain jewellery to teleport (such as Glories or Rings of duelling), or even using a lever, while being attacked, sometimes your "block" animation would take priority over the teleport animation.
- This should no longer happen, and the teleport animation will play regardless of any other animation.

- Trading post listing update:
- The Trading post was recently updated to show listings of players who are online first, and although this is not being changed, we are extending this to also sort by the lowest price first by default.

- Note:
- This doesn't apply to the "Recent" listings, which always shows the latest listings from online players.
