Hello everyone,
This week's update wraps up the final major component of Prifddinas… Zalcano! We're very excited to announce that Alora is the first server to release this content and The Gauntlet, which we hope you've been enjoying since the last update! This skilling mini-game focuses on defeating Zalcano without the use of combat, which is different from most bosses. There's also a cool looking new pet, Smolcano, which can be obtained from the boss. On top of this, we've been listening to your Theatre of Blood loot feedback and have made some adjustments based on what we've heard.
- Regional compost bins:
- Compost bins now each operate as independent bins which players can use.
- The following bins are currently functional:
- Catherby
- Ardougne
- Falador
- Port Phasmatys
- Hosidius

- Theatre of Blood loot changes:
- As requested by many of you, we've modified the loot mechanics in the Theatre of Blood.
- Just over a month ago, we matched OSRS's loot mechanics for ToB, which made it so that only one player on the team could get a unique item.
- Many of you have expressed dislike on this aspect of the update, especially considering Alora's version of ToB always had a chance for every player on the team to receive a purple chest.
- Considering this, we've tweaked the loot system to remove the limitation on only one player receiving loot. With the tweaks we've made, the drop rate is slightly better than before, but with a chance for multiple players to obtain rare loot which seems to be the main complaint that we've heard.

- Zalcano:
- Description:
- Zalcano is a demon imprisoned beneath Prifddinas that is fought using skilling rather than conventional combat. Being immune to traditional combat damage, players must use their Mining, Smithing and Runecrafting skills to create imbued tephra capable of destroying her stone armour. Once her armour has been destroyed, they must damage her by mining her with a pickaxe.
- Access:
- You can reach Zalcano through the Teleport wizard in the Mini-game menu, or by typing in ::zalcano.
- Unlike the rest of Prifddinas, you do NOT need the same requirements that you need to enter the city to fight Zalcano.
- The only requirements are:
- 70 Mining and Smithing
- Higher hit points are helpful.

- To receive loot from Zalcano players must contribute to the fight by dealing a certain amount of damage.
- Players who do not contribute enough, or only contribute by either mining Zalcano(and not throwing tephra) will not be eligible to receive loot.
- When Zalcano dies, she will always 1-3 crystal shards, as well as 1 roll on her loot table.
- Each fight, 1 player(the one that dealt the most damage) will be named the MVP, and will receive an extra roll on the loot table, as well as Zalcano’s ashes.
- The more damage done by a player, the higher the chance to receive better loot. This also applies to rare drops(including Smolcano).
- To receive loot from Zalcano players must contribute to the fight by dealing a certain amount of damage.
- Fight mechanics:
- Golem spawn:
- Zalcano will periodically spawn a golem in the south east part of the prison, which will walk up to Zalcano and heal him for the remaining amount of hp that it has.
- The golem can be attacked by players who throw imbued tephra at it, and if it is killed, Zalcano will not be healed for anything.
- The player who deals the most damage to the Golem when it dies will receive 16-24 imbued tephra.
- The golem can be attacked by players who throw imbued tephra at it, and if it is killed, Zalcano will not be healed for anything.

- Zalcano will periodically spawn a number of red/blue symbols on the ground.
- Rockfall:
- Every so often, Zalcano will spawn 3-5 large boulders that fall from the ceiling close to target players.

- Zalcano will periodically stomp her feet, and then pebbles will fall on all players in the prison, causing a low amount of damage.
- Weak phase mechanics:
- When Zalcano is in her weak phase, players will need to beware of being too close to her.
- Any player(s) standing under Zalcano in her weak phase will take a small amount of damage each tick that they are under her.
- When Zalcano rises from her weak phase, any players who are still next to her will be thrown back, taking damage in the process.
- Zalcano will rise from her weak phase after a given period of time, or if 380+ damage is dealt to her.
- When she rises, any tephra in players’ inventory will be destroyed by her shockwave.
- When Zalcano is in her weak phase, players will need to beware of being too close to her.
- Golem spawn:

- Any players near this ore when it is destroyed will take a significant amount of damage.
- Death:
- All tephra will be lost upon death, and players will be teleported outside of the prison.
- They may re-enter and continue where they left off, however they will need to mine/refine/imbue more tephra.
- Dying at Zalcano is a safe death for all participants, including Hardcore Ironmen.
- All tephra will be lost upon death, and players will be teleported outside of the prison.
- Description:
- Prifddinas Agility course tweaks:
-
- The ladder to start the agility course now gives experience, as intended.
- The exp rates overall have been slightly raised to match the base rates as OSRS, since there was a recent increase in experience per hour.

- Store updates:

- Effect:
- The booster offers a +25% boost to your loot from The Gauntlet for 1 hour.

- Other notes:

- EIM/GIM cannot open a Gauntlet booster if they are still under the effect of one.
- Normal accounts can 'use' these scrolls on trade-locked players (eg. GIM) to transfer them (if they have tokens on their main account, it is essentially the same as moving tokens from a donation).
