Hello everyone, welcome to this month's edition of the Alora Newspaper!

 

Hope everyone has had a great month of July and August! Happy to see everyone out there putting in work and keep it up!

You're not far off from your goals!

 

I want to apologize for my absence lately and the delay of the monthly newspapers. I've had some major changes happen lately and it has severely hindered my ability to accomplish my usual activity with interacting with my personal PC.

Hello everyone,

 

Note: Abyssal tentacle degrading was originally in this update, but has since been removed and may be polled at a later date.

 

As promised, our second batch of weekly updates is now live! We've taken some time to adjust the Theatre of Blood drop rates, as they were recently released by the OSRS development team. On top of this, we've got plenty of new content such as ZMI Runecrafting, another low-level Draynor Rooftop Agility Course and fully treatable and enchantable Silver Jewellery. We hope you find can all find something to enjoy in this update! :)

 

• ZMI Runecrafting:
  • Players can now access and use the ZMI altar!
    • Players must run through the long/safe path, or dangerous/short path to get the altar, and can craft pure essence on it. The altar rewards all runes except for Wrath runes, and has no level requirement to use. With that being said, the higher your Runecrafting level is, the more likely you are to get a better rune.
      • Players will receive 1 rune per pure essence they craft, or 1-2 runes if they are donator+.
      • Players can't teleport out of the ZMI area, unless they use the Ourania teleport in the Lunar spell, which is free to use, as all spellbook teleports are.
  • Access:
    • You can teleport to the ZMI area through the Teleport Wizard, or through the Ourania teleport in the Lunar spell book.
• Blood Runecrafting change:
  • Blood runes are now crafted with Dense essence blocks, similar to soul runes, rather than pure essence.
• Abyssal tentacles dissolving:
  • The Abyssal tentacle now degrades. When you create one, it has 10,000 uses, and once the uses are up, your tentacle consumers your abyssal whip, and returns a tentacle to the player.
  • Players who have a tentacle in-game currently will have 10k uses automatically added to their accounts.
• Trader Stan's charter shop has been added:
  • Trader stan is in Port Sarim, and he sells general items, including glassblowing pipes, buckets of sand, seaweed, and soda ash, and is accessible by all game modes.
    • His stock, unlike other shops in Alora, goes down in number when people purchase items. These items slowly restock over time (2 per 30 seconds).
• Barehanded impling catching:
  • Players can now catch implings barehanded. If the player has the necessary level (see hunter guide), they can catch implings barehanded without any net required.
• Silver jewellery crafting and enchanting:
  • You can now craft Silver jewellery by using your Silver bars on any furnace while having the appropriate mould (and gem) in your inventory.
  • Jewellery that can currently be created and enchanted:
    • Opal Necklace:
      • Requires level 16 crafting to make, using a silver bar and a necklace mould. Players can use the level 1 enchant spell on an Opal Necklace to create the Dodgy Necklace, which provides a 25% chance to succeed with a pickpocket if you were going to fail it.
        • The necklace has 10 charges, and will break after the uses are used. Players can right click the necklace to check the uses left, and break it to reset their uses.
    • Opal bracelet:
      • Requires level 22 crafting to make, using a silver bar and a bracelet mould. Players can use a level 1 enchant on an Opal Bracelet to create the Expeditious bracelet, which provides a 25% chance to decrease the monsters left on a task by 2, as opposed to 1.
        • The bracelet has 30 charges, and will break after the uses are used. Players can right click the bracelet to check the uses left, and break it to reset their uses.
    • Opal amulet:
      • Requires level 27 crafting to make, using a silver bar and an amulet mould. Players can use a level 1 enchant an Opal amulet to create the Amulet of Bounty, which provides a 25% chance of not using a seed when farming.
        • The amulet has 10 charges, and will break after the uses are used. Players can right click the amulet to check the uses left, and break it to reset their uses.
    • Jade necklace:
      • Requires level 25 crafting to make, using a silver bar and a necklace mould. Players can use a level 2 enchant on a Jade necklace to create the Necklace of Passage, which provides various teleports around the game.
        • The necklace has 5 charges, and will break after they are used.
    • Jade amulet:
      • Requires level 34 crafting to make, using a silver bar and an amulet mould. Players can use a level 2 enchant on a Jade amulet to create the Amulet of Chemistry, which provides a 5% chance to receive an extra dose when creating potions.
        • The amulet has 5 charges, and will break after the uses are used. Players can right click the amulet to check the uses left, and break it to reset their uses.
    • Topaz necklace:
      • Requires level 32 crafting to make, using a silver bar and a necklace mould. Players can use a level 3 enchant on a Topaz necklace to create the Necklace of Faith, which will boost a players prayer by 10% if their hitpoints fall below 20%, and they are wearing the necklace.
        • The necklace will turn to dust when the perk is used.
    • Topaz bracelet:
      • Requires level 38 crafting to make, using a silver bar and a bracelet mould. Players can use a level 3 enchant on a Topaz Bracelet to create the Bracelet of Slaughter, which provides a 25% chance to not decrease the monsters left on a task.
        • The bracelet has 30 charges, and will break after the uses are used. Players can right click the bracelet to check the uses left, and break it to reset their uses.
    • Topaz amulet:
      • Requires level 45 crafting to make, using a silver bar and an amulet mould. Players can use a level 3 enchant on a Topaz amulet to create the Burning Amulet, which provides various wilderness teleport options.
        • The amulet has 5 charges, and will break after the uses are used. Players can right click the amulet to check the uses left, and break it to reset their uses.
• Draynor Rooftop Agility course:
  • The Draynor Rooftop course is now available for low-level Agility training!
    • With a requirement of 10 Agility, players now have an alternative to the Gnome agility course for low-level training.
    • The full course will give 120 experience (before multipliers) as well as 1-2 Marks of grace upon completion of a lap.
• Cape changes:
  • Max cape update:
    • The 'Features' right-click option while the Max cape is in your inventory can now be used to swap your spell book.
  • Max cape options have been added to the following combination capes:
    • Fire max cape
    • Saradomin max cape (+imbued variant)
    • Zamorak max cape (+ imbued variant)
    • Guthix max cape (+imbued variant)
    • Ava's max cape
    • Ardougne max cape
      • This cape has only been given some of the options (notably the Spellbook swap) as it already has its own options.
    • Infernal max cape
    • Assembler max cape
  • Monkey (completionist) cape options update:
    • The Monkey has been given the same right-click options in the inventory and equipment tab as the Max capes.
      • Previously, it only had a Teleport option in your inventory. It will now feature the Spellbook swap option as well, and both options will be available in the equipment tab right-click.
• Vote reward shop price fixes:
  • We intended to make the Rogue outfit 2,000 points (and 1,000 for restricted game modes), but following the previous update it was 2,250 points.
    • We've corrected this to 2,000/1,000 by reducing the price of the Rogue mask to 350 from 500, and the price of the top/bottom to 575 from 625.
• Slayer vote book bonus fix:
  • Due to the Slayer bonus from Vote books only being a 25% increased, this means that if you receive 2 points, 25% more is 2.5, which the server would then round down and keep at 2.
    • This is now fixed, and the server will round upwards instead, to give you 3 points (effectively a 50% bonus in this case).
• Miscellaneous:
  • The Wilderness supply chest would spawn about 2 seconds before the announcement was made, but it will now spawn simultaneous to the announcement.
• Edgeville dungeon / Varrock sewer obstacle pipe:
  • Players with 51 Agility can now use the pipe to cross between these two areas, which should speed up Red spiders' eggs collecting.
• Client updates:
  • The zoom buttons in the Settings tab have been fixed to properly zoom in and out. The middle button resets the zoom to the default.
• Wesley the Crusher:
  • Wesley is now standing near Zahur by the Edgeville Furnace to crush your Herblore items for you!
    • He can crush any item that requires a Pestle and Mortar, such s:
      • Unicorn horns
      • Blue dragon scales
      • Bird nests
      • Chocolate bars
      • Goat horns
      • Kebbit teeth
      • Lava scales
      • Superior dragon bones
    • Wesley charges 500 coins per item, and is able to crush noted items. (except for Bird nests which are un-notable)
      • This price is reduced for Donator ranks:
        • Normal: 500
        • Regular Donator: 475
        • Super: 450
        • Extreme: 425
        • Legendary: 375
        • Uber: 325
        • Master: 275
        • Immortal: 200
• Sand crabs:
  • Sand crabs can now be fought in Zeah!
    • These crabs are located on a sandy shore south of Zeah, which can be accessed by using the Teleport wizard and going Monsters -> Sand Crabs.
    • They have more hitpoints than Rock crabs, and there are more of them, making it a prime area for combat training.
  • Seaweed spawns:
    • There are now a whopping 28 seaweed spawns along this shore, making it the best area for collecting seaweed at the moment. There is also a bank chest on the shore.
  • Crabclaw Isle:
    • A private island to fight crabs is available to the south of the shore, for a fee of 100k GP.
      • You can stay here as long as you'd like, but if you leave, you'll have to pay another 100k to revisit.
• Theatre of Blood changes:
  • Killtime record QOL:
    • The killtime records will now display the full team for ToB, whereas it usually shows 3 players maximum for other bosses/mini-games.
  • Points system / Loot rate matching OSRS:
    • OSRS recently released the exact formulas (# of points given for different actions in the raid, and how the affect the loot rates) which we've taken the time to implement into Alora's Theatre of Blood.
      • We now have near-100% accurate rates for the reward system in the Theatre of Blood.
      • This also means that Lil Zik is completely separate from the loot table, and is rolled at a 1/650 rate but does not affect your rare loot whatsoever.
    • Here's how it works in a nutshell (full image below with more details):
      • An 'invisible' point system in the background keeps track of your progress:
        • Dying reduces your points.
        • Dealing the most damage in a room/phase gives you more points.
        • Participating in each room gives you points. (AFKing will not)
        • Raid boosters increase the # of points you can obtain.
      • At the end, 1 player will be chosen as the MVP, which will be eligible for the rare loot.
        • The MVP is chosen based on how many points you have out of the team total.
          • For example, if you have 30% of the team's points, you have a 30% chance of being the MVP.
          • The MVP will then roll for the rare loot, which has an 11% chance. This 11% chance is reduced by deaths in your team, but is also increased by the vote bonus, server bonus on weekend events and drop scroll boosters.
            • Once you hit the rare drop table, you will be guaranteed one item at the following rates:
              • 1/19 -  Scythe of Vitur
              • 2/19 - Ghrazi rapier
              • 2/19 - Sanguinesti staff
              • 2/19 - Justiciar face guard
              • 2/19 - Justiciar chest guard
              • 2/19 - Justiciar leg guards
              • 8/19 - Avernic defender hilt

 

 

 

• Store updates:
  • Clue booster:
    • Clue boosters can now be purchased from the donation store!
      • These will boost the chance of obtaining super rare loot from opening Clue scroll caskets by 20% for 1 hour, at the cost of 15 tokens.
        • Ideally, you'd complete your caskets and save the clues before using one of these boosters to maximize the benefit.
        • The booster will also increase your chance of receiving the Clue hunter outfit pieces.
        • These can be purchased by any game mode, but have the same restrictions a well:
          • EIM/GIM cannot open another booster if there is still time remaining on the current one.
          • EIM/GIM/HCIM/Classic/Realism can only open 1 Clue booster every 3 hours.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure to report any bugs that you find as soon as you encounter them!

Hello everyone,

 

We're back with another round of weekly updates! We've worked hard to push this one out right at the start of the weekend. This week, we're introducing the Motherlode Mine, which provides a viable way to train Mining, as well as the introduction 

 

• Motherlode Mine:
  • The Motherlode mine is now open for miners who are at least level 30 Mining!
    • Access:
      • You can reach the Motherlode mine by using the Teleport Wizard, or by using the Skills necklace. Alternatively, you can use one of the two shortcuts in the Falador mines.
    • Features:
      • This mining area features Ore veins, which can be mined for pay-dirt and yield 60 Mining experience.
        • These ore veins occasionally deplete, with the ores on the lower level having a higher chance of depleting.
        • The veins also have a chance to give uncut gems.
    • Pay-dirt:
      • The clean the pay-dirt that is mined, you can fill it into the hopper.
        • When deposited, it will be taken through a water circuit and will flow towards the sack at the end.
          • The sack can then be searched to collect various ores, ranging from Coal to Runite. 
            • Higher level ores will yield more experience.
          • You will also have a chance to receive Golden nuggets, which can be used in Prospector Percy's Nugget Shop.
      • Sack size:
        • The sack can hold up to 108 pay-dirt initially, but can also be upgraded by paying Prospector Percy 200 golden nuggets, which brings the maximum up to 189 pay-dirt.
    • Hazards:
      • Rockfalls:
        • Occasionally, rocks will fall in certain areas of the mine, damaging any unlucky players who are standing under them for 1-4 HP. These can be mined away for 10 Mining experience.
      • Broken struts:
        • Occasionally, the struts on the water wheels will break. This event affects everybody in the mine, and if both water wheels break, then the machinery can no longer clean pay-dirt for anyone. The struts can be fixed by using a hammer on them and grants some Smithing experience (1.5x the player's Smithing level).
  • Upper level:
    • To access the upper level, you must have at least level 72 Mining and pay Prospector Percy a one-time fee of 10M GP.
      • The upper level contains 68 additional ores that are closer to each other compared to the lower level. They also have a lower chance of depleting.
  • Rewards:
    • You can trade Prospector Percy to purchase the following items in exchange for golden nuggets:
      • Prospector outfit - 180 golden nuggets for full set
        • This set, comprised of helmet (40), jacket (60), legs (50) and boots (30) will provide a 2% boost to Mining experience when fully worn:
          • Helmet - 0.4%
          • Jacket - 0.8%
          • Legs - 0.6%
          • Boots - 0.2%
      • Bag full of gems - 40 golden nuggets
        • These bags can be opened to obtain 40 random noted, uncut gems.
          • The gems can range from Sapphire to Onyx, but we must warn you that the chance of an Onyx is slim to none. Here are the rates:
            • Sapphire - 49.93%
            • Emerald - 34.68%
            • Ruby - 11.8%
            • Diamond - 3.9%
            • Dragonstone - 0.62%
            • Onyx - 0.000001%
      • Coal bag - 100 Golden nuggets
      • Gem bag - 100 Golden nuggets
• Wizard's Guild Rune shop:
  • Wizard Sinina on the second floor of the guild now sells all kinds of runes (except Cosmic, Astral and Wrath) with a limited stock of up to 5,000 of each rune for elemental, and between 250-400 for other runes.
    • You can also purchase Rune packs in this shop, carrying between 35-80 packs in stock for any type.
    • This shop is available to Ironmen.
• Rogue set upgrade:
  • The Rogue set now also provides a chance at double loot from stalls, and not only from pickpocketing.
• Vote shop updates:
  • Silver sickle ( b ) has been added to the vote shop for 300 vote points.
• Mort Myre fungus collection:
  • Players can now use Silver Sickle( b ), which is purchasable in the Vote shop, to cast bloom in a 1 tile radius around the player, which will turn any Rotting logs into Mort Myre fungus logs.
    • Using the sickle deducts 6 prayer points.
    • Each log the player picks will provide them with 2 Mort Myre fungi, and the player can cast bloom an unlimited number of times.
  • Note:
    • All previous Mort myre fungus spawns have been removed, since they are redundant, and take away utility from the silver sickle.
• Miscellaneous:
  • Fixed a graphical issue on the Achievement shop interface (Karamja gloves were gigantic).
  • You can now 'investigate' the Kourend statue in Zeah to enter the Catacombs.
    • You can also leave through the exit rope to go up to the surface.
• Jewellery fixes:
  • Amulets of Glory, Rings of Dueling and Games necklaces now have charges removed when used in the equipment tab, as they were previously bugged.
    • The Amulet of glory will not be lost, but the other two will crumble to dust upon being fully used.
  • Games necklace teleports added:
    • Burthorpe
    • Barbarian outpost
    • Kouren
    • Corporeal beast
    • Wintertodt
  • Skills necklace teleports added:
    • Fishing guild
    • Motherlode mine
    • Crafting guild
    • Cooking guild
    • Woodcutting guild
  • Xeric's talisman teleports added:
    • Xeric's Lookout
    • Xeric's Glade
    • Xeric's Inferno
    • Xeric's Heart
    • Xeric's Honor
  • Amulet of glory teleports fixed to include both Karamja and Al-Kharid, while the Duel Arena has been removed from the list.
• Bonesack utility has been added:
  • The bone sack (from the Achievement shop) can now be used to fill with various types of bones.
    • It can hold bones, big bones, baby dragon bones, dragon bones, superior dragon bones, wyvern bones, lava dragon bones, Drake bones, Wyrm bones, Dagannoth bones, and Hydra bones.
    • Players can store the following amounts based on their rank: (bones in total, regardless of type)
      • Regular players->Super donators: 7 bones
      • Extreme Donators->Legendary Donators: 9 bones
      • Uber donators->Master donators: 11 bones
      • Immortal donators: 13 bones
  • Note:
    • If you die with the bone sack, it will drop all of the stored bones.
• Cave krakens have been added!
  • You can now disturb the Whirlpools in the Kraken cave to force Cave krakens to rise to the surface of the murky waters.
    • After awakening the Cave krakens, they will attack you with solely Magic. You should also retaliate with Magic, as Melee cannot be used and Ranged attacks are heavily reduced against them.
    • Notable loot:
      • Kraken tentacle
      • Trident of the seas
    • Other loot:
      • Many staff / rune drops, as well as some seeds including Torstol and Snapdragon.
  • Notes:
    • You must be level 87 Slayer to attack these monsters.
  • Slayer:
    • You can now obtain Cave krakens as a Slayer task on a hard Slayer task and be assigned between 55 and 140 to slay.
• Impling catching update:
  • You can now catch implings in Puro Puro without a jar, whether you are doing so barehanded or with a net.
    • Catching them barehanded will simply automatically loot the impling, without storing it in a jar.
    • You can also now do so without any inventory space, and the loot will simply drop to the floor.
• Kalphite Queen rework:
  • Prayer mechanics:
    • Phase 1 is now more resistant to Ranged/Magic attacks.
      • Melee should be the choice during this phase.
    • Phase 2 is now more resistant to Melee attacks, requiring you to use Ranged or Magic to damage her.
      • You can also use Verac's to hit through the prayer, but other combat types will remain slightly more accurate.
  • Attack mechanics:
    • Her Ranged/Mage attacks are 100% accurate as intended, and will always hit (still a slight chance to hit 0 through RNG, and still reducible by Prayer).
    • Her Ranged attacks will now drain 1 Prayer point if they hit more than 0.
      • If wearing a Spectral spirit shield, there is only a 50% chance that your Prayer will be drained upon being damaged.
  • Other bugs:
    • Upon transforming to the second phase, the KQ will re-attack the previous target.
    • Fixed a bug where players who died and returned to the area would see the old form of the KQ rather than the 2nd form, if it is transformed.
    • The 'transformation' time between phase 1 and phase 2 has been reduced by a few seconds, as it was slightly longer than it should be.
• Gold crafting has been fixed:
  • You can now use gold bars on any furnace again to create gold jewellery.
• Sand crab changes:
  • Aggro/respawn fixes:
    • After respawning, some Sand crabs would not properly aggro on you, or they would not turn back into Rocks. They have now been fixed entirely and should work the same way that Rock crabs do.
  • Multi-combat zone fixes:
    • Crab claw isle is now a multi-combat as intended.
    • The bank area is now single combat as intended.
    • The south-east shore is now single combat as intended.
• Master Farmer update:
  • You can now obtain Hops seeds from pickpocketing the Master Farmer, which should help for Birdhouse seed collection.
• Miscellaneous:
  • The description for the Gem bag in the web-store has been fixed.
  • Fixed a bug which caused HCIM to lose status if they died immediately after leaving the Recipe for Disaster mini-quest.
  • The Fremennik Slayer dungeon entrance and exit have been fixed.
  • Larran's key, although typically untradeable, now always drops on death, even if another player kills you.
• Cape fixes:
  • Regular players can no longer use the Donator zone chinchompa teleport.
  • Using certain Max cape functions that had options (eg. Chinchompas, Spellbook swap) would cause your player to perform the max cape emote. This should no longer occur.
  • Ardougne max cape unique teleports (Kandarin monastery and Ardougne farm) have been fixed.
  • Infernal max cape options have been fixed.
• Daily tasks fix:
  • Daily tasks were not resetting at the proper time (server time) and would sometimes reset 6 hours prior to midnight. This has been fixed.
• Castle wars barricade fix:
  • Burning barricades would make the underlying tile blocked from being walked on. This has been fixed.

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!

  • Pieces of the rogue set can now be claimed from the untradeables shop for 100k a piece.
  • Varrock Armour 4 (from the Achievement shop) can now act as a Prospector jacket for the set effect of bonus experience when Mining.
  • Fixed a bug which sometimes caused the "Nothing interesting happens." message to be shown in the chatbox when interacting with equipment in the inventory.
  • Strange device has been removed from the Hard clue rewards loot table.
  • Fixed Duel arena teleport location when using the Ring of Dueling.
  • Cave Krakens now drop 50 noted vials of water instead of un-noted.
  • Magic dart can now be auto-casted using a Slayer’s Staff.
  • Players can now use the mythical cape to teleport to the Myth’s guild.
  • Checking the melting pot in Blast Furnace will now tell you the amount of each ore you have in the melting pot, as opposed to the total amount.
  • Fixed 3rd age axe attack/block animations, and the 65 Attack level requirement has been added.
• 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.
• Farming shops:
  • Two new limited-stock farming shops are now available!
    • Both shops carry the same stock, but are in different locations and essentially provide double the amount of seeds that can be purchased.
      • Locations:
        • Amelia in the Farming guild
        • Olivia in the Draynor market
      • Seeds:
        • Potato seeds (200)
        • Onion seeds (100)
        • Cabbage seeds (50)
        • Barley seeds (200)
        • Jute seeds (50)
        • Rosemary seeds (200)
        • Marigold seeds (200)
        • Hammerstone seeds (200)
        • Asgarnian seeds (100)
        • Yanillian seeds (50)
• Instance respawn time notifications:
  • Free Instance notifications (chatbox)
    • If you are in an instanced boss room, you will receive chatbox messages telling you how long it will take for the boss to respawn. Halfway through the respawn time, you will receive another notification.
    • Bosses affected:
      • Zulrah
      • Kraken
      • Alchemical Hydra
      • Cerberus
  • Private instance notifications (interface)
    • If you are in a private instance room, you will see the time left until the boss respawns in the top-left corner of your screen on the private instance interface.
      • This only applies to the boss in the room. 
        • For example, in a Bandos room, only General Graardor's respawn will be shown on the interface.
        • For the Dagannoth kings room in which there are 3 rooms, it will show the respawn timer of the most recently killed Dagannoth king.
• 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.
    • This means that when you search for a whip you will see the lowest price of any player that is online. There may be lower prices from offline players, though, but at the very least you will not see the 2 billion GP offer on an Iron scimitar show up at the top of the list.
  • Note:
    • This doesn't apply to the "Recent" listings, which always shows the latest listings from online players.
• Tournament cup updated:
  • The Tournament cup has been updated to include all of 2019's tournament winners thus far.
• Draynor wall shortcut:
  • Players with level 42 Agility or higher can now utilize the Agility shortcut through the wall that separates Draynor village and Port sarim.
• Explorer's ring changes:
  • Explorer's rings 1 & 2 were previously in the Daily task reward shop, but were lacking the proper features which have now been added:
    • Ring 1:
      • 50% run energy replenish twice a day
      • Cast Low level alchemy without using runes 30 times a day (no magic XP gained)
    • Ring 2: (All of ring 1 +)
      • The run energy replenish can be used 3 times a day instead of 2
      • Unlimited teleports to cabbage patch near Falador farming patches
    • Ring 3: (all of ring 2 +)
      • The run energy replenish can be used 4 times a day instead of 3
    • Ring 4: (all of ring 3 +)
      • 100% run energy replenish 3 times a day
      • Cast High level alchemy without using runes 30 times a day (no magic XP gained)
• Daily task reward shop changes:
  • Explorer's ring 3 added for 200 points.
  • Explorer's ring 4 added for 250 points.
• Volcanic Ash Mining:
  • The fastest way to get here would be to teleport to fossil island, and use the Magic Mushtree teleport to Verdant valley and run north.
  • Players can now mine Volcanic Ash at fossil island. Mining volcanic ash provides 10 base experience.
  • Players will get the following amount of Volcanic Ash from mining ash piles:
    • Mining level of 97 or higher: 6 Volcanic Ash
    • Mining level of 82 or higher: 5 Volcanic Ash
    • Mining level of 67 or higher: 4 Volcanic Ash
    • Mining level of 52 or higher: 3 Volcanic Ash
    • Mining level of 37 or higher: 2 Volcanic Ash
    • Mining level lower than 37: 1 Volcanic Ash

  • Ultracompost can now be made by using Volcanic Ash on Supercompost.
    • 2 Volcanic Ash and 1 Supercompost will be consumed in exchange for 1 Ultracompost.
  • Players can now fertilize their crops with Ultracompost, which provides an even larger yield than Supercompost fertilization.
• Hosidius Kitchen:
  • Players can now cook their food on the Hosidius kitchen range, which provides a 10% increased chance of successfully cooking food.
  • Players can access this area from various teleports to Zeah, the closest of which being the Xeric’s talisman teleport to “Xeric’s heart”, then running south.

 

• Store updates:
  • Certain items have been discontinued from the store due to them not being popular and simply cluttering the categories:
    • Gnome child hat
    • Warrior's ring (i)
    • Dragon javelin pack
    • Dark crab pack
    • Dragon bolt pack
    • Verac and Torag armour sets
    • Dark bow

 

 

 

We hope you enjoy this update! :)

Hello everyone,

 

This week's update contains many bug fixes and QOL/content updates, as well as the first batch of some highly requested Chambers of Xeric's changes! The focus this week has primarily been on filling up missing pieces of content such as Lunar spells, the Deranged Archaeologist, and Chewed bone sacrificing for the Dragon full helm. As for the CoX changes, the biggest update is the Storage units which can now be built to store items (private, or to be shared with your party) as well as the special bat-chest which provides a lucky player with food. We'll also be focusing some more on CoX updates (such as Olm's head-turning mechanism) in the next update.

• Miscellaneous:
  • Gnome child hat is now tradable.
  • The black chinchompa teleport has been moved slightly north, to level 34 wilderness.
  • The value of ferocious gloves has been corrected, and should now protect appropriately.
  • Alchemical Hydra can now be assigned as a task to players from Nieve
    • Note that players who are killing Alchemical Hydra on task will still only receive a Brimstone key if that task was received from Konar.
  • The sulphur vents in Tzhaar city can now be used to cook food on.
  • Combat bracelet teleports now work as intended.
  • Viggora’s chain mace attack animation has been fixed.
  • The value of ranger boots has been updated.
  • The Revenant cave now requires 60+ combat and 250k+ risk to enter.
  • Ancestral Robes set:
    • Players can now use their ancestral robe set on the trading post to receive an Ancestral Robes Set item.
      • The Ancestral Robes Set can also be used on the trading post to receive the full ancestral set.
  • Players can now teleport from the equipment interface using the Mythical Cape.
  • Players can now check how many charges remain on their Viggora’s Chainmace/Craw’s Bow from the equipment interface.
  • Berry bushes now give 4 berries per bush instead of the previous 3.
  • Varrock armor 4 now properly provides the same boost as the prospector jacket.
  • Fixed the kraken safe spot.
  • Players can now destroy the Bonecrusher properly.
  • Fixed a spacing issue for usernames on the 19th item listing when searching for items on the Trading post (was a few pixels to the right)
  • On the Venenatis collection log, the Treasonous ring drop was showing up as the imbued version, which means it wouldn't count the drop if you received it. This has been fixed.
• Wilderness Task Emblem Upgrades:
  • Players killing NPC’s on a wilderness task with a combat level of 50 or higher will now have a small chance to upgrade the highest tier emblem in their inventory.
    • Players who have tier 10 emblems in their inventory will not lose it, but instead be granted an extra tier 8 emblem.
  • The higher level the NPC, and the deeper the player is in the wilderness will both factor into the emblem upgrade rate.
• Wilderness Supply Chest Changes:
  • Players now require 95 combat and at least 1m risk to open the wilderness supply chest.
  • The tele block spell will not be removed upon logout for players who open the chest.
    • Previously, if a player opened the wilderness supply chest, they would receive a 2.5 minute teleblock, however they would simply be able to relog to remove the timer. This issue has been fixed, and now the only way to remove the teleblock is to leave the wilderness, or wait out the timer.
• TzHaar-Mej-Roh's Rune Store
  • Players can now purchase runes from this shop in Tzhaar City with Tokkul, at the following prices:
    • Elemental runes: 6 Tokkul each
    • Elemental rune packs: 645 Tokkul each
    • Chaos runes: 135 Tokkul each
    • Death runes: 270 Tokkul each
  • Players can sell runes back to the shop for 20% the price of the item in the shop.
• Crystal/Brimstone chest changes:
  • Players will now see how many Crystal/Brimstone Chests they’ve opened each time they open them.
    • We did not keep track of how many chests players had opened in the past, so the count will begin at 0 for everyone starting as of this update.
  • Players can right click on the Crystal/Brimstone chest and click “Check” to see how many chests they’ve opened.
  • Lastly, when receiving rare items from either chest, your news announcement will display the number of chests you've opened.
    • Eg. Omicron has received 1 x Amulet of fury from the Crystal chest! (#73)
• Deranged Archaeologist:
  • Players can now fight the Deranged Archaeologist on Fossil Island by using the “Deranged Archaeologist” teleport found in the teleportation wizard interface. 
  • Mechanics:
    • The Deranged Archaeologist has 200 hp, and similar mechanics to the Crazy Archaeologist, however his special AOE attack can do up to 55 damage per projectile.
    • He also cannot be safe spotted or hidden from. If you are within the area, and out of range of the Deranged Archaeologist, he will still be able to attack you with a projectile that cannot be protected from, so beware.
    • His primary ranged attack can be protected from using protect from missiles, however if players get too close, he may use melee to attack.
• Barrows loot will now be added to rune pouch or ammunition slot if applicable.
  • When barrows loot is rewarded, if a player receives an ammunition reward that they have equipped, it’ll add the ammunition to their equipment slot instead of their inventory to save room.
  • Likewise, if a player has a rune pouch in their inventory, and are rewarded runes that they are carrying in their pouch, the runes will be added to their rune pouch automatically.
    • If the rune pouch is full(16000 rune limit),  the runes will instead be added to the player’s inventory.
• Lunar spells:
  • Cure me spell:
    • Players can now cast the Cure Me spell if they have 71+ magic.
      • The spell requires 2 Astra runes, 2 Cosmic runes, and 1 Law rune to cast.
      • The spell provides 69 base magic experience.
    • The spell can only be cast if the player is poisoned, and once cast, the player will be cured of the poison.
  • String amulet spell:
    • Players can now cast the String Amulet spell if they have 80+ magic.
      • The spell requires 2 Astral runes, 10 Earth runes, and 5 Water runes to cast.
    • Once the spell is cast, it will continue to auto-cast itself until the player is out of unstrung amulets, or out of runes. 
    • The spell provides 83 base magic experience, and 4 base crafting experience.
  • Hunter kit spell:
    • Players can now cast the Hunter kit spell if they have 71+ magic.
      • The spell requires 2 Astral runes, and 2 Earth runes to cast.
      • The spell provides 70 base magic experience.
    • Casting the spell will provide the player with a hunter kit if they have the inventory space for it.
      • The hunter kit, when opened, will provide 1 impling jar, 1 butterfly net, 1 bird snare, and 1 box trap.
  • Recharge Dragonstone spell:
    • Players can now cast the Recharge Dragonstone spell if they have 89+ magic.
      • The spell requires 1 Astral runes, 4 Water runes, and 1 Soul rune to cast.
      • The spell provides 97.5 base magic experience.
    • If the player has an uncharge amulet of glory, combat bracelet, or skills necklace, casting the spell will enchant the uncharged piece of jewelry to 4 charges.
  • All lunar teleports added:
    • Players can now cast lunar teleport spells(excluding group teleports) if they have the required runes and level.
      • New teleports include:
        • Ourania
        • Port Khazard
        • Catherby
        • Fishing Guild
        • Moonclan isle
        • Waterbirth Isle
        • Ice plateau
        • Barbarian outpost
    • Since the teleports in the lunar spell book require runes(unlike other teleport spells), they will also grant magic experience for using them.
  • Spellbook swap spell:
    • Players can now cast the spell book swap spell if they have 96+ magic.
      • This spell requires 3 Astral runes, 2 Cosmic runes, and 1 Law rune to cast.
      • The spell also provides 130 base magic experience when casted.
    • Once cast, the player will be given an option to swap to either the normal or ancients spell book, and once an option is selected, the experience will be granted, and the runes will be consumed.
      • Note: No runes will be removed if the player does not choose a specific spellbook to swap to.
• Chambers of Xeric updates:
  • Creature keeper room:
    • A single chest in the Creature keeper room will contain 5 cooked Psykk bats (which heal 23 hit points) rather than worms. Additionally, you'll receive 250 points in the raid for finding this chest.
      • This chest, once looted, will stay open. Only 1 player can loot it.
  • Storage units:
    • Storage units are now available!
      • These chests allow you to store items within the raid to use later for the final fight, or simply to store items while you search the chests or worms in the scavenger room.
      • Two right-click options:
        • Shared:
          • This option opens a storage chest which allows you to put raids items only within it (potions and food, for example).
            • These items will not be returned to you at the end of the raid.
        • Private:
          • This option is for you only, and allows you to store your own items (eg. Ancestral robes and a Staff of light).
            • These items are returned to you upon leaving the raid or logging out.
    • How to build chests:
      • You can build 3 types of chests: small, medium and large. Each chest serves the same purpose, and once one chest is built, every chest in the raid is built for the same size chest. You must have a hammer or Dragon Warhammer to build any of these chests.
        • Small chest:
          • Requires 2 Mallignum planks to build and level 30 Construction
          • Stores up to 250 raids items, and 30 personal items.
        • Medium chest:
          • Requires 4 Mallignum planks to build and level 60 Construction
          • Stores up to 500 raids items, and 60 personal items.
        • Large chest:
          • Requires 6 Mallignum planks to build and level 90 Construction
          • Stores up to 1000 raids items, and 90 personal items.
      • Mallignum planks:
        • These planks are dropped by Scavengers within the raid.
• Chewed Bones:
  • Chewed bones can now be used on the pyre north-east of Otto’s grotto to build a pyre and have a chance at receiving the Dragon Full Helm. 
  • Players will require an axe, a tinderbox, a chewed bone, and a log of any type to build the pyre.
    • Once the pyre is built and set ablaze, a barbarian spirit will rise to thank you for releasing him, and provide you with a reward.
    • Once the Pyre is burnt, players will be granted 51 crafting experience, and 202 firemaking experience. 
  • Chewed bone prayer bonus:
    • For every chewed bone that the player sacrifices, they will be granted a prayer experience bonus on the next 5 bones that they bury or sacrifice at an altar. This bonus stacks, so sacrificing 5 chewed bones will allow the player to receive a bonus on the next 25 bones that they use.
      • Burying bones will provide 3x the normal experience, and using bones on the altar will provide 1.75x the normal experience when using the bonus.
• Zamorakian Hasta reverting:
  • Players can now revert their Zamorakian Hastas back into Zamorakian spears by speaking to Otto Godblessed.
    • Note that this will not refund any of the gold paid for the Hasta, and if players wish to turn it back into a spear, they will need to pay the fee again.
• Supercompost making:
  • Players can now make supercompost using compost bins found at farming areas around the Gielinor.
  • Supercompost can be made by filling the compost bins with 15 suitable items, found from the list on the OSRS wiki: https://oldschoolrunescape.fandom.com/wiki/Supercompost
    • Once the 15 items have been added, players will have the option to close the compost bin, and then the timer will begin. 
      • After 30 minutes have passed, the player will receive a notification that they can open the compost bin and collect the compost.
    • We’ve also added bananas and oranges to the suitable items list, since they are available at Trader Stan’s Trading Post.
  • When the compost bin is opened, players will be able to retrieve the following amounts of supercompost, given that they have empty buckets to fill with it:
    • Regular players: 15 supercompost
    • Super donators: 16 supercompost
    • Extreme donators: 17 supercompost
    • Legendary donators: 19 supercompost
    • Uber donators: 21 supercompost
    • Master donators: 24 supercompost
    • Immortal donators: 27 supercompost
  • Ultracompost making:
    • When the compost bin is ready to be harvested, players can use volcanic ash on the compost bin to fill their buckets with ultracompost instead of supercompost. 
      • This requires 1.8x the number of compost you can collect, so if you have 25 supercompost left in the bin, you’ll need to have 45 volcanic ash to add to the compost bin.
  • Players can right-click the compost bin to dump it out at any stage if needed.
• Trader Stan Shop Changes:
  • Stock of Pineapples has been increased to 200, and the price has been increased to 875 coins each.
  • Stock of Bananas has been increased to 400.
  • Stock of Oranges has been increased to 150, and the price has been increased to 801 coins each.
  • Stock of empty bucket pack has been increased to 100.
  • Stock of empty buckets has been increased to 500, and the price has been increased to 35 coins each.
• Teleport interface updates:
  • The Teleport wizard has a few new teleports to help you get around quicker:
    • Bosses:
      • Deranged archaeologist (Fossil island)
    • Skilling:
      • Orange salamanders (desert location)
      • Black salamanders (wilderness location)
• Wilderness Chaos Altar change:
  • There are two Chaos altars in the Wilderness, one in level 12 wilderness, and one in level 38. The level 12 altar was previously giving bonus experience when bones were used on it, when this was only intended for the deeper wilderness chaos altar.
• Slayer helmet/Slayer dart effect fix:
  • Some monster variants were not properly being affected by the Slayer helmet or Slayer dart spell effect.
    • Some of the affected monsters:
      • Mutated bloodvelds, Warped jelly and pretty much any Slayer monster variant.
      • Dawn (Grotesque guardian), first one which you must defeat
      • Dagannoth kings
      • Demonic gorillas

 

 

(NOTE: In the GIF above of the storage units, it shows that the Saradomin brews stacked within the chest. This was a bug that has been fixed, and items do not stack in the chest unless they are stackable in your inventory (eg. notes or arrows))

 

 

We hope that you guys enjoy this update! As always, please report any bugs that you find as soon as they are found :)

 

 

Regards,

Omicron & Chad

Spoiler

Hotfixes [20/8/19]:

• Vengeance spell fixes:
  • The last update broke the vengeance cast animation due to the update below (but has now been fixed):
    • The Vengeance spell no longer disrupts a player's walk animation unless they're already in a PvP area when they cast it, intending to minimise affecting genuine PvP situations while limiting the ability to lure using the spell.
      • This means that outside of wilderness areas, you can continue to run while casting vengeance.
• Miscellaneous:
  • Fixed bugs with Salamander catching
  • Fixed requirements on Crystal equipment
  • Fixed Amlodd's Rune Shop in Prifddinas
  • Fixed Air runecrafting altar (broke last update)

    • Crystalline rats will no longer drop the red (Corrupted) Grym leaf, they will drop the normal one instead.
    • Items dropped on the ground in the Gauntlet will no longer despawn, allowing you to run back to them to pick them up if you're low on inventory space.
      • This includes loot dropped by NPCs, which you can now leave on the ground and will not despawn.
  • Hunllef changes:
    • The Magic attack which disables your prayer will now be a pink projectile as intended. That way, you can know when your prayers are about to be turned off.
      • You'll also always see the purple explosion graphic at the end of the attack, even if the attack splashes. This is to help show you that you've been affect by the prayer disabling.
    • You can now 'run through' the Tornados during the Hunllef fight and not take any damage. Note that you may still take damage if you are walking through them.
    • The Hunllef's name was sometimes not showing up in the NPC health overlay, and in the right-click context menu. This has been fixed.
  • Other:
    • Chopping down Phren roots in the Gauntlet no longer gives bird's nests.
    • Mobs will no longer spawn on top of objects (Dragons specifically)
    • The right-click option on the boss barrier (Quick-enter) now works to enter without the warning dialogue.
      • Additionally, the boss will now automatically attack you after you enter (regardless of your distance to it).

    • Gauntlet loot yell announcements will now show the proper killcount.
    • Fixed a bug which allowed you to pick up multiple Grym roots instead of 1.
    • A bug which made your sceptre have the same bonuses as a halberd if you ended with a halberd the last game has now been fixed.
• Crystal impling fix:
  • Crystal implings should no longer get stuck in unreachable areas in Prifddinas.
• Bank deposit box for UIM changes:
  • Ultimate Ironman can now use items on Bank deposit boxes to note/unnote (previously only allowed by bank booths).
    • This allows UIM to note/unnote at the Gauntlet bank deposit box.
• Skilling fixes:
  • Essence mining fixed
  • Air Runecrafting fixed
  • Gem rock mining fixed
• Item on object fix:
  • Certain objects were broken when using items on them (eg. Unnoting items on some bank booths). This has been fixed.
• Mining fixes:
  • Many rocks were broken around the map, especially in the Donator Zone. These rocks should now all function as intended.
    • This also fixes the bug which was causing Amethyst ores to make an empty space in the wall when mined.

Hello everyone,
 
First of all, we'd like to thank all of you for your patience during this update. I know that it was a long wait considering we had just started getting comfortable with weekly updates, but I promise that it was worth the wait, just see for yourself below! Chad and I have been grinding relentlessly to piece this update together, and we're extremely excited to announce that we're now the first RSPS with The Gauntlet! It is essentially OSRS's version of dungeoneering, but it is not a skill. You'll have approximately 10 minutes to run through a dungeon to collect supplies and create your own armour, weapons, food and potions to prepare for the boss fight against the Hunllef. 
 
We're also the first RSPS with the city of Prifddinas, which contains a new Agility course, the Elven crystal chest, Crystal implings, a Crystal crown worth 2.147b GP, and much, much more. On top of this, we've pushed the new Forthos dungeon with the Sarachnis boss, as well as a host of other updates and bug fixes we're sure you'll love.
 
Without further ado…

• Update to latest OSRS version (#181):
  • We've officially updated to the latest version of OSRS, which means that we have the latest maps, objects, npcs, items, etc.
    • In the past, this was not extremely difficult, but OSRS has recently 'shuffled' many of the IDs for objects and npcs. This means that, for example, if the Banker NPC had the ID 394, it now had ID 1027, in a completely random order.
      • This posed some difficulties as OSRS hasn't done this in years, but we've managed to overcome this obstacle and have developed some tools to unscramble the IDs relatively quickly if they choose to scramble them again in the future.
• Pet loss bug fixed:
  • A bug which caused you to sometimes lose your pet (eg. When teleporting out of an instance or dungeon) and not be able to find it again until re-logging has now been fixed.
    • Your pet will teleport to meet you should you leave an instance or dungeon.
• Miscellaneous:
  • The coal bag now appropriately allows players to store 36 coal in the bag if they have a smithing cape/max cape/completionist cape.
  • Fixed a few bugs with the coal bag when adding/removing coal.
  • Trading post will now only exchange sets if the item used on it is part of a set that can be exchanged.
    • Previously, if you had an Ahrim’s robe set and used any other item, for example a banana, on the trading post, it would exchange the set in your inventory.
  • Orb charging now works with the runes provided by staves.
  • Fixed a bug that caused players to not be able to set anymore salamander net traps even though none were currently set.
  • Fixed a bug where players could use a suitable item on a closed compost bin and it would reset the bin.
  • Fixed a bug that caused Ardougne cloak 4 teleports not to work in equipment interface.
  • Suitable items will now be automatically added when used on a compost bin, instead of having to use each item 1-by-1.
  • Updated the Ardougne cloak/max cape teleport graphics and animation.
  • Some maps were corrupted and would display thousands of 'Petrified spine plants', such as next to Experiments. These spine plants should no longer appear in those areas.
  • Saradomin, Zamorak and Guthix platebody, platelegs and helmet now equip to the proper equipment slot.
  • Fixed an issue with some Sand crabs not retaliating. Some duplicate spawns were also removed.
  • Mask of balance changes:
    • The Mask of balance no longer makes the back of your head invisible.
    • The mask is now tradable.

  • Skotizo will now only teleport players that are within distance of him
    • Previously, if he used the his teleport attack, and you teleported away, he would teleport you back to him.
• Wilderness task emblem upgrading change:
  • The previous update added a chance of upgrading emblems when slaying your assigned Wilderness task. If you had a Tier 10 emblem, since it could not be upgraded you would receive a Tier 8 emblem. Rather than Tier 8, you will now receive a separate Tier 7 emblem as the upgrade for Tier 10.
• Forthos:
  • Players can reach the dungeon by speaking to the teleport wizard, or going down the leader north of sand crabs.
  • Olbertus:
    • Players can speak to Olbertus to obtain a temple coin by either fighting him, or paying him 5 dragonstones.
      • If you pay him 5 dragonstones, you will obtain a temple coin, and 100 bones will be added to the sacrificed bone count on the Sacred Bone Burner.
  • Stone Relief:
    • Players can use a temple coin on the Stone Relief to access a hidden room where they can tan hides and sacrifice dragon bones to the Sacred Bone Burner.
      • Players will receive 3x the prayer experience for burying bones if they have at least 100 bones sacrificed to the Sacred Bone Burner, otherwise they will receive no exp.
    • Once a player has sacrificed 200 bones to the Sacred Bone Burner, they will receive a temple key, which they can use to permanently unlock the Western and Eastern gates in the dungeon.
      • If the player loses this key before they unlock the gates, they will NOT be able to get it back.
    • Players can check their faith on the altar to get a rough idea on how many bones have been sacrificed to Rolos.
    • Once the temple coin has been added to the stone relief, the gate leading to the room with the Sacred Bone Burner will be accessible.
  • Shortcut:
    • There is an agility shortcut in the dungeon to go to the red dragon area, which will require 75 agility to use.
  • Grubby Chest:
    • If players obtain a Grubby Key from a monster within the dungeon, they can use it to open the Grubby chest, which rewards a random food item, potion item, and loot item.
      • The potential items that will be rewarded can be found on the OSRS wiki:
        • https://oldschool.ru.../w/Grubby_Chest
  • Undead druids:
    • The Forthos dungeon is home to these druids, who are known for their unique masks (the Mask of ranul) which can be obtained as a rare drop.
    • They also drop numerous Herblore secondaries, many herbs and almost every seed available.
  • Note:
    • Dwarf multi-cannons cannot be used in the dungeon.
  • Sarachnis:
    • Players can now fight Sarachnis in the Forthos dungeon.
    • Mechanics:
      • Sarachnis primarily uses Melee/Range as its main attacks, and will attack with melee if it’s within range.
      • Every 4 attacks, Sarachnis will spawn sticky webs around all the players in the room and they will be unable to move for up to 5 seconds, while Sarachnis retreats into a corner. 
      • When Sarachnis has 60% and 30% of its health left, it will summon 2 spiders to attack each player in the area, one spider uses mage, while the other one uses melee.
        • When Sarachnis dies, the spawns will also die.
      • If Sarachnis lands a hit on a player with melee, it will automatically heal itself for 5 damage.
    • Loot:
      • Sraracha:
        • Players have a small chance to obtain the pet upon killing Sarachnis.
      • Jar of eyes:
        • Players have a small chance to obtain the Jar of Eyes, which can be used to setup the display in a player-owned house.
      • Sarachnis will always drop 1-3 noted red spiders’ eggs per kill.
        • This is not implemented in OSRS, however we know that some players have been requesting more ways to get Herblore secondaries, and a logical way to get the red spiders’ eggs them seems to be from Sarachnis.
      • Sarachnis Cudgel:
        • Players have a small chance at obtaining the Sarachnis cudgel when killing Sarachnis.
        • The cudgel is a one-handed crush weapon that requires 65 attack to wield.

  • Crystal implings:
    • Crystal implings can now be caught within Prifddinas! These cannot be caught anywhere else, and are rare spawns within the city. Catching these requires level 80 Hunter and grants 280 experience.

    • This mine includes various ores, including runite ores, which players can mine if they have the necessary level.
      • There is also a mine cart which functions as a bank deposit box, so players can deposit their ores once they’ve filled their inventory.
  • The Gauntlet:
    • The Gauntlet is a solo mini-game in Prifddinas in which the player is given a limited amount of time to explore a completely randomly generated dungeon layout, gather supplies and resources by utilizing both skills and combat, in preparation to fight the Crystalline Hunllef.
      • Access:
        • It can be accessed through a portal in Prifddinas, or through the Teleport wizard.
        • Additionally, you can type ;;gauntlet to teleport there quickly.
      • Objective:
        • You must move through the dungeon to explore the different rooms, which may contain resources or monsters, or both.
        • You have 10 minutes in the dungeon to gather resources and equipment for the final fight. Once the timer runs out, you are teleported into the final room automatically and must fight to the death. You can enter the boss fight room earlier if you choose, which can lead to better loot.
        • Different resources can be collected through Mining, Woodcutting, Fishing and other gathering methods. These resources can be cooked into food, and some are necessary for creating weapons, armour and potions which will assist in the final boss fight. 
        • Smaller crystalline monsters, such as bats, rats and unicorns can be killed for supplies, while higher level monsters such as Dark beasts and Dragons offer better drops at the cost of taking more time to defeat.
        • The Crystalline Hunllef must be defeated to complete the dungeon:
          • The Hunllef primarily attacks with range or mage. It always starts with magic attacks, and after 4 attacks it will alternate to ranged, and so on.
          • The Hunllef also will always have a protection prayer up, and after every 6th hit it receives it will change it’s prayer to your last attack style.
          • If you walk under the Hunllef, you may get crushed by a Stomp attack that deals up to 40 damage, so you'll want to stay out of its way.
          • The room will constantly have dangerous tiles that you can’t step on. At first, these tiles will turn blue to warn you and give you time to run off of them. Once they have turned orange, they will damage you every tick you are standing on them.
          • Occasionally, the Hunllef will summon 2 whirlpools that chase you around the room. You’ll have to outrun these for 14 seconds, otherwise they will deal damage constantly if they reach you.
        • Completion of the Gauntlet will reward players with various loot, including crystal armour seeds to create new Crystal equipment.
          • Dying or leaving early may still grant small reward for your time and effort, but does not grant any unique rewards.
      • Corrupted Gauntlet:
        • Players who are up for a real challenge can enter the Corrupted Gauntlet, which is a fiery red dungeon that is very similar to the regular gauntlet, though with a few key differences:
          • Rather than 10 minutes to explore the dungeon, you are only allowed 7.5 minutes.
          • Rather than 600hp, the Hunllef has 1000 hp.
          • Upon completion, you have a better chance of obtaining a unique reward, and better base loot.
          • Upon the first completion of the Corrupted gauntlet, you will receive the Gauntlet cape.
• Teleport wizard additions:
  • The Teleport wizard has numerous new locations to teleport to: (a (*) denotes requirements to enter Prifddinas):
    • Mini-games:
      • Inferno teleport
      • (*)Gauntlet teleport
    • Dungeons:

Spoiler

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.
• Prifddinas pickpocketing QOL:
  • All of the talk options on pickpocketable Prifddinas NPCs (over 35+ NPCs) have been removed, making the Pickpocket option the first and only option for an easy left-click pickpocket.
• Ultimate Ironman drop fixes:
  • Ultimate Ironmen's items when dying will now stay on the ground for 60 minutes as intended. This was previously bugged.
• Collection log additions:
  • Dragon chainbody will now properly be counted in 3 categories:
    • Slayer
    • Kalphite queen
    • Thermonuclear smoke devil
  • Sarachnis has been added to the bosses page.
  • The Gauntlet has been added to the bosses page.
  • Zalcano has been added to the bosses page.
  • Additions to Pet page:
    • Sraracha
    • Youngllef
    • Smolcano
• Sarachnis QOL:
  • Sarachnis respawn time has been heavily reduced. (From 1 minute to ~15 seconds).
• Bug fixes:
  • Mind/cosmic altars have been 'cheapfixed' for the time being. They are functional, but the maps are broken and will be fixed in the next update.
  • Fixed a bug where dark essence fragments wouldn’t show up in your inventory right away if you tried to chisel dark essence blocks.
  • Crystal armor body/Crystal armor body(basic/attuned/perfected) visual bug fixed.
  • Cannon loading/picking up has been fixed.
  • Fixed a bug with a bank booth in Varrock West Bank not functioning.
  • Added proper requirements for D'hide (g) and d'hide (t) items.
  • Fixed accurate attack animation on swords/longswords.
    • This includes, among other weapons, the Blade of Saeldor, leaf-bladed sword, and dragon sword.
  • Varrock guards are now attackable.
  • Added 40 range requirement on Robin Hood Hat.
  • Sandicrahb can no longer be attacked by multi-spells.
  • Slayer helmets now require 10 defense(instead of 13) to equip.
  • Fixed a shortcut in the Falador mine that previously took players near the Falador wall.
  • Cure me now turns your venom into poison if you are Venomed.
    • It can be used twice to turn Venom->Poison->Normal
  • Teleport crystals now function properly.
  • Fixed a tile just outside the cyclops room that was causing players tokens to drain.
  • The xp counter will now properly display “Lots!” If the player has over 2.147b experience.
  • Staff of light attack speed changed from 5 ticks to 4 ticks.
  • Stamina potion (2) can now longer be worn from the equipment stats interface.
  • Implings no longer spawn at Puro Puro (they should only spawn in Prifddinas).
  • You can no longer obtain a pet in The Gauntlet (through skilling actions).
  • Barrage orb gfx (when a player is already frozen) has been fixed.
  • The number of Clue boosters that you could receive from an Ultimate mystery box was previously 1, but has been increased to 3-6 as intended.
  • Skeletal wyvern staircase has been fixed.
  • The rock barriers at the ::1v1 tournament area have been fixed.
  • Ores no longer disappear (go invisible entirely) after running out of ores.
  • The staircase in the Brimhaven dungeon which takes you to the upper level (Greater demons) has been fixed.
• Leaf bladed weaponry:
  • Leaf-bladed battle-axe and leaf-bladed sword animations have been updated.
  • All leaf bladed weapons, when used against Kurasks or Turoths, will now provide a 17.5% damage boost.
  • Leaf-bladed weaponry now requires 55 slayer to equip.
• Web slashing changes:
  • Any weapon with a slash bonus can now cut through webs (throughout the whole world).
• Justiciar armour set effect tweaks:
  • The set effect has been tweaked to be more accurate, and will always reduced incoming damage (except for in PvP situations) by a minimum of 1.
• Arianwyn has been re-enabled to convert crystal seeds into weapons:
  • Due to many requests, Arianwyn has been re-enabled with the following changes:
    • Instead of 1m and 3m GP cost, it is now 2m/5m.
      • This is due to the addition of the Crystal bowl in Prifddinas which allows you to create Crystal weapon with shards, and keeping the GP cost the same would devalue the Crystal singing bowl.
• 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.
  • Loot mechanics:
    • 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).
  • 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.
    • Symbols:
      • Zalcano will periodically spawn a number of red/blue symbols on the ground.
        • Players who stand on the blue symbol will gain significantly increased damage/accuracy when throwing imbued tephra at Zalcano.
        • Players who stand on the red symbol will take significant damage and reduced run energy every game tick that they are on the symbol.
          • Note: Players who are wearing the complete graceful set will receive 25% reduced damage and run energy drain while standing on the red portal.
    • Rockfall:
      • Every so often, Zalcano will spawn 3-5 large boulders that fall from the ceiling close to target players.
        • Once these boulders hit the ground, any players that are on the same tile as a boulder will take a considerable amount of damage.
    • Pebble attack:
      • Zalcano will periodically stomp her feet, and then pebbles will fall on all players in the prison, causing a low amount of damage.
        • This attack is unavoidable.
    • 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.
  • Glowing ore:
    • There will always be 1 glowing ore present, which provides double tephra when mined.
    • Every so often, Zalcano will send a fire blast to the glowing ore, destroying it, and causing a new ore to glow.
      • 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. 
• 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.
      • The largest increase was on the final obstacle in the agility course, which was increased from 968 base experience, to 1037 base experience.

 

 

 

 

• Store updates:
  • Gauntlet Booster:
    • Gauntlet boosters are now available in the store!
      • The cost per booster is 15 tokens.
    • Effect:
      • The booster offers a +25% boost to your loot from The Gauntlet for 1 hour.
        • Assuming 10 minutes each run, you will have a drop boost for up to 6 runs total. If you are running the corrupted gauntlet, you will have the boost for up to 8 runs.
    • Other notes:
      • These boosters can be obtained from Super/Ultimate mystery boxes (in varying quantities).
      • Certain game modes (EIM/GIM/Classic/Realism/HCIM) can only open a scroll once every 3 hours. Every other game mode can open scrolls back to back as many times as they'd like.
      • 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).

 

 

We hope you enjoy this update! :) Please report any bugs that you encounter as soon as possible.

 

Regards,

This month I will be interviewing: Extremedanny and Paine!

 

Enter the squirrel master and the man, the myth, the legend Sir Danny!

 

 

Everyone welcome our resident pet lord! Extremedanny!

 

Groot: If you could travel anywhere in the world. Where would you go and why?

Extremedanny: I would probably do a roadtrip across America because the food seems nice and there is so many places to go. Grand canyon, Las vegas, New york, Miami, and Washington just to name a few.


Groot: What do you find the most enjoyable about alora?

Extremedanny: I love the pvm and raids aspect but I think the community is the best. Love all the trolls in yell sometimes and ofc that everyone has a personal meme.


Groot: What is the first thing you would do if you were invisible for a day?

Extremedanny: I would rather not say :eyes:

Groot:

Extremedanny: Well I guess rob a richboi and live life without worrying about money


Groot: If you were to have a last meal what would it include?

Extremedanny: Carpaccio. Always been my favourite part of the meal ever since I found out about it.


Groot: If given the choice between always having enough money to do whatever you want or having everlasting happiness which would you choose and why?

Extremedanny: I would go for happiness. Since well i like being happy and i wont have to deal with all the fake friends that come with alot of money. I rather have friends that spend time with me cause they actually like me.

 

Groot: That's respectable as fuck +1 respect.

 

 

Groot: Cats or dogs?

 

Extremedanny: Cats, Never liked dogs, Childhood trauma......

 

Groot:

 

Extremedanny: Got attacked by a big dog when i was little eventough he probably just wanted to play with me.

 

Groot: So I guess hellpuppy is out of the pet hunt?

 

Extremedanny: Did those 8k kills to get my revenge hehe

 

Groot: L0L0SDKFSADMNHB

 

Extremedanny: He takes my childhood i take his child

 

Groot:

 

 

Now we have my little panini! Paine!!

 

 

Groot: If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go and why?

Paine: I'd probably say Los Angeles. Growing up in a small state in Europe, I've always wanted to enjoy the L.A vibe/hype. I also enjoy chaotic places so I'd say it's a perfect place for me.


Groot: Is there anything in the present or past you would want to change? And if so why?

Paine: Yea, I'd say there's 2 things I'd like to change. The way I got into engineering when I hate math in general and my sleep schedule since I sleep for very little and stay up for long amounts of time.


Groot: Where do you see yourself in the next 5-10 years?

Paine: I'd probably see myself working, maybe having my own car, my own house and maybe a cute little family :).

Groot: Awww paine the family man! Flutten as your wife and have many Odablock children!

Paine: Oda as my child.... nightmare fuel



Groot: If you were to have a last meal. What would the meal consist of?

Paine: I'd probably eat some sort of pasta as a starter, a big steak for the main meal and a cheesecake as dessert.


Groot: Are you excited for your new found position in the staff team? And is there anything "new" you think you will bring to it?

Paine: I'd probably say this is the best moment that has happened to me in Alora, right besides me getting the squirrel pet. It's an honor to be working along side my best friends and one of the best staff team Alora has ever seen. I think I will try to incorporate new events, which will be discussed with Paulo first, while doing an administrators job as my secondary role. I will try to do the best at my abilities so the expectations are high .
