Hello everyone,
We're back with another weekly update! This week's update contains a gift for players who've been with us since the beginning — the Veteran's shield, which is a large exclusive shield to show your support for Alora. As of this update, only 6,000 accounts have access to it (out of 425,000+), so only the most dedicated players will have it! There is no playtime requirement, it only requires a registration date of November 10th, 2016 or prior. Every day, more players will be allowed to obtain this cape.
We've also finally gotten around to some much request QoL, especially for UIM players. We've added STASH units, which allow you to store clue-related items that are required for riddles right next to the location. We've also added Treasure chests to PoH, which will allow you store hundreds of clue items to save bank space. We'll also be adding in some other methods of storage in this room very soon.
Aside from bug fixes, a few other cool updates include Name change tickets in the store, a buff to the Theatre of Blood drop rate (explained below), Divine green skin color as a custom donation, as well as the Divine spirit shield ornament kit that can be attached to your Elysian.
- Bug Fixes:
- The Anger Spear is now tradable.
- Brimstone chest count in drop announcements was 1 too low.
- Fixed a bug with combination runes:
- Previously, if a player had a combination rune for a spell they wanted to cast, but not enough of that rune to cast a spell, it would tell them that they didn’t have enough runes, even if they had enough regular versions of the rune required.
- The drop warning will no longer appear for items that do not have a drop option.
- This used to happen for actions such as dismantling the Bracelet of Ethereum for Revenant Ether.
- Players who do not have the 60 slayer requirement will no longer receive basilisk knights as a task.
- The Zamorak/Guthix/Saradomin vestments now require the appropriate prayer levels to equip.
- Potato cooking:
- Due to popular request, players can now cook and eat raw potatoes.
- Cooking a raw potato requires level 7 cooking:
- Cooking a raw potato will grant 15 cooking experience.
- Eating a raw potato will provide 1 hitpoint.
- While this is technically possible, we recommend baking the potato first, and enjoying it with a piece of cooked meat, sourced from the cows in Lumbridge.
- Thanks to @Elysian King” for helping us make this possible.

- Theatre of Blood changes:
- The loot rate has been slightly increased:
- We have modified the ToB loot rate a few times this year, once to match it to OSRS, and then we reverted that to allow all the players on the team a chance at receiving a purple chest (rather than one).
- From your feedback, we've come to understand that the rate was a bit low, so we've bumped it up a bit to make ToB a more enticing activity.
- If this boost is too low or high, we can reevaluate in the near future.
