Hello beauties, welcome to this month's edition of the Alora Newspaper! Happy Valentine's Day to all the couples out there      


There's been a few rule changes in the past month, please make sure you've reviewed them!

 

Multi-Logging

Spoiler

 

Date & time of updated rule: January 26th, 2020

Updated section: Rule #9. Multi-Logging

Time or date that the updated rule(s) will be put into effect: Immediately

Part(s) added, changed or removed: Highlighted in YELLOW

Multi-logging is not against the rules of Alora, as we do allow players to be logged into multiple accounts at once. However, we do not allow multi-logging to gain an extreme advantage over other users. We are striving to maintain an environment in which no player has an exponential advantage over other players. First offenders will receive a 24-hour ban, Second offenders will receive a 48-hour ban and a bank wipe if deemed necessary, followed up with a permanent ban, and finally, an IP-ban.

 

• a. Playing on multiple accounts at once while participating in the same skill, boss, minigame or activity is allowed up to 5 accounts at a time. Anything that exceeds that will be deemed a violation and the appropriate punishment will be handed to all accounts involved.

 

• b. Multi-logging in the wilderness is allowed if you have no interaction between any of your accounts. If you have one account skilling in the resource area, and another account killing people in the Revenant Caves this is OK. It is not OK, for example, to skill in the resource area and kill other players there on your alternate account. It is also not allowed to use a second account to protect your accounts in the wilderness. Scouts are also allowed to an extent, as long as they do not allow an unfair advantage over other players in the Wilderness. Firstly, scouts must be Level 3 combat and have ABSOLUTELY NO ITEMS equipped or in their inventory. Secondly, for example, if you bring a scout to Chaos Elemental to see who is there BEFORE teleporting there, this is okay. It is not okay, however, to plant a scout outside of the Rev Caves entrance while you kill Revs so that you can see when PKers are coming. Scout must leave before the main account can teleport to this location. This rule also applies to the use of the second account to assist yourself with bossing or skilling in the wilderness.

Brief explanation: Our main goal is and will always be to protect the integrity of the game and all players in the community. However we feel this rule has been enforced too strictly so we have added a warning for first offence. We have also added a bit of extra clarity to distinguish between what is allowed outside of the wilderness compared to inside the wilderness.

Rule 5:

Punishments that are assigned to members are given to further better Alora as a community and maintain a stable, fair, and efficient environment. With that being said, those who evade will not be dealt with lightly; if a member feels as if they were wrongly punished, they can go about it the right way by appealing and constructively stating their case. If one evades, it will result in a ban or an IP-Ban, depending on the magnitude of the situation.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Rule 10:

Members that are somehow encouraging others to break a rule whether or not the enticed member understands that specific rule will receive a 24-48 hour mute or 24-hour ban, depending on the extremity or severity of the rule.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Rule 12 f.:

The only people who are allowed to be Middle-Manning or Hosting (this includes FPing) are Staff Members or those who hold a rank in the Gamble CC (refer to the Gamble thread here for more information). Anyone caught doing so without a rank will be punished accordingly with a wipe of all wealth gained from the incident as well as a 24-hour ban, followed by a 48-hour ban, and finally a permanent ban.

 a. Giving a user that is evading a ban money and/or items is considered encouraging others to break the rules. Refer to Rule #10.

Rule 10:

Members that are somehow encouraging others to break a rule whether or not the enticed member understands that specific rule will receive a 24-48 hour mute or 24-hour ban, depending on the extremity or severity of the rule.

 

 a. Giving a user that is evading a ban money and/or items is considered encouraging others to break the rules and first offence will result in a 7-day ban with the second offense resulting in a permanent ban. 

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Rule 12 f.:

The only people who are allowed to be Middle-Manning or Hosting (this includes FPing) are Staff Members or those who hold a rank in the Gamble CC (refer to the Gamble thread here for more information). Anyone caught doing so without a rank will be punished as follows: First offense will result in a wipe of wealth gained from the incident and a warning, second offense will result in a wipe of all wealth gained from the incident as well as a 24-hour ban, followed by a wipe of all wealth and a permanent ban, and finally a IP-ban.

 

 

Brief explanation: 

Rule 5 & 10: By giving someone that is currently banned and is evading their punishment money and/or items is giving them incentive / opportunities to play the game and continue to break the rules while already evading their previous punishment. 

 

Rule 12 f.: Although not knowing the rules is not an excuse we feel that a ban, even temporary, is a little much for a first offense. However, we have increased the punishments for repeat offenses.

Hello everyone,

 

We've been working hard to bring you an update that satisfies many of the suggestions that we've seen within the community, especially when it comes to client updates which have not had much attention the past few months. This update brings exactly that and so much more, with numerous QoL updates and new content such as the ability for Inferno training, the Twisted bow slayer helmet upgrade from CoX, and new $50 and $100 bonds for the easier transfer of donator ranks. Aside from this, we've also managed to squeeze in numerous bug fixes that we're sure you'll appreciate!

 

Note: You may have already noticed some of the updates below in-game, as we updated last week with some of the important fixes (particularly with Achievements).

 

• Achievement Perk Viewer:
  • Players can now right-click any diary in their quest tab and click the “View perks” button to view all the perks of each diary, and see which ones are currently active, and which aren’t.
  • Note: We’re aware that some diaries don’t have any perks associated with them at the moment(except for the item perks, and the experience lamp), and would like to expand the perks that are obtained from diary completion.
    • That being said, we encourage players to submit reasonable perk suggestions for diaries that currently don’t have any active.
• Achievement diary additions:
  • Ardougne Medium Diary: 
    • Upgrade an Iban staff to an Iban staff (u) through Aubury.
  • Kourend Medium Diary:
    • Catch 25 fish through Aerial fishing.
  • Western Provinces Medium Diary:
    • Catch 25 kebbits with a falcon.
• Achievement completion in order:
  • Achievement diaries now require that you do all the previous ones in that region before receiving rewards.
    • For example, if you complete the Elite Falador tasks, you won't receive your Falador shield 4 until you've completed the Easy, Medium and Hard diaries as well (to ensure that the best reward is locked behind the entire diary).
      • Experience lamps are in the same reward system, so they will be awarded when the prior diary sections are completed as well.
      • With this change, the most optimal way to complete your diaries is in order from Easy -> Hard.
• Chambers of Xeric reward additions:
  • Twisted horns can now be obtained from the Chambers of Xeric!
    • These horns can be attached to a Slayer helmet to turn it into a Twisted slayer helmet (as well as the imbued version).
    • The horns are also tradable and can be bought and sold between players.
    • This reward is rolled for separately from other rare items, and will not affect your chance of obtaining other loot such as the Twisted bow.
      • The rate of obtaining the horns is similar to the Prayer scroll drop rate, though slightly more difficult.
    • The horns have been added to the Collection log for CoX.
• Bug fixes:
  • Achievements:
    • Experience lamps are no longer affected by boosts.
    • A purple chatbox message will be sent with the exact reward you receive from the Achievement manager.
    • You can now view all of the items in the Achievement store (total of 48).
      • Previously, it would max out at 39 items shown.
    • You can now "value" all items in the Achievement store.
      • Previously, you could only check the price of the first 10 items.
    • The typo of "Saladomin" in the Falador elite diary task has been fixed.
    • Fixed a bug with the smoke devil task not working properly.
    • Clarified where players should be picking snape grass for the Fremennik easy diary task.
    • Added a clarification on the crystal seed achievement.
    • Fixed a bug where checking the health of a redwood tree would increase the wrong achievement.
    • Fixed a bug with the Bedabin camp dragon dart task.
    • The "Complete 10 Elite clue scrolls" achievement was only requiring 1 clue to be completed, and now requires 10 as intended.
    • Fixed a bug where killing dawn would count towards the achievement to kill Grotesque Guardians.
    • Fremennik boots 3 + 4 removed from Loyalty point shop.
    • Bandits at Bedabin camp should no longer break, and the ones outside of the bar will also count towards the Bandit task in the Desert diary.
    • Players who have the Ava’s accumulator or assembler max cape will now have the Accumulator achievement auto-completed.
  • Replaced the duplicate red berries in the Herblore supplies shop with Jangerberries.
  • Name change ticket fix:
    • Any pending donations in your collection box will now transfer over to your new username.
      • Previously, any pending donations would be attached to the old username.
  • The slayer's staff(e) can now auto-cast magic dart.
  • Fixed a bug where Wilderness swords would only slash webs with 100% accuracy if they were in your inventory.
    • They will now always slash webs as long as they are equipped.
  • Giant mole will no longer do any damage if players are protecting from melee.
  • Opening the Elven Crystal Chest no longer grants 500 experience in crafting/smithing.
  • Fixed a bug where purchasing the quest cape would give players 2 quest cape hoods instead of the quest cape (t).
  • Fixed a bug with the mithril dragon staircase.
  • Fixed a bug with the Occult (or) not having the proper item value.
  • The ::laps command now properly counts Gnome and Barbarian agility course laps.
  • The Antifire/Super-antifire client timers will now be removed upon death.
  • Rune knife (p++) placeholder will no longer appear as a Dagon'hai hat.
  • The Dragon hunter lance boost now applies at Wyrms and Drakes.
  • Previously, if you noted a Blue wizard hat, you could not unnote it. This is now fixed.
  • Fixed a Wilderness godwars dungeon safespot.
  • Fixed a bug where the Elite Void set in the armour case wouldn't store the void gloves.
  • Players can no longer create a rune crossbow with Sinew.
    • The proper method of doing so is with a crossbow string, which can be made by spinning the sinew.
  • Removed monkfish spot from fishing guild.
  • Returned the anglerfish spot back to the wilderness resource area.
  • Fixed the “Trade” right click option on Paul.
  • Fixed a bug where having Wesley crush Lava scales would only provide 1 Lava scale shard per scale crushed.
  • Fixed a bug with the thieving stalls at home doing weird things when thieved from.
  • Players can now store the adamant kite shield (t) and (g) with the adamant armor sets in their POH Treasure Chest.
  • Fixed a bug where players would get Hellhounds in the Karuulm dungeon before they had 44 slayer for the Boots of Stone.
  • Players will no longer receive Metamorphic dust in the Theatre of Blood if they already have obtained it.
• Quality of life:
  • Added the teleport options to the equipment interface for the following items:
    • Rada’s blessing 1
    • Rada’s blessing 3
    • Rada’s blessing 4
  • Increased the max damage players can do to Zalcano by 5.
  • Added the Arclight to Skotizo’s drop table.
    • There is an ~1/30 chance of receiving it from Skotizo, whether in the Catacombs or the wilderness.
  • Added a new command for suggestions. 
    • ::suggestion/::suggestions can be used in-game to be redirected to the suggestions section of the forums.
  • The bank behind the castle in Etceteria now functions properly.
  • Enchanting jewelry is now a repeating process, so jewelry of the same type(ex: Onyx bracelets) will repeatedly be enchanted unless the action is disrupted.
  • Added a right-click “Crush” option to Wesley so players can crush their secondaries and skip the dialogue.
  • Divine potions will now warn the users when they wear off.
  • A command to go to the Achievement guide, made by @Vape Tricks has been added.
    • Players can type ::achievementguide or ::achievements guide in-game to be redirected to the achievement diary guide.
• Miscellaneous:
  • The remaining Christmas features have been removed.(Login screen music, Varrock Christmas tree, Partyhat pets, etc)
  • Discord bot fix:
    • The #game_news channel was previously not showing drop announcements for players who had spaces in their usernames. This has been fixed.
• Slayer changes:
  • Tztok-Jad tasks will now be assigned as single-kill extreme tasks.
    • Dying/leaving the fight caves during the task will cause you to fail the task.
      • Failing the q task will not cause you to lose your streak.
  • Players will now be assigned 60-95 aberrant spectres, as opposed to 6-45 previously.
• Leprechaun tool exchange:
  • The tool leprechaun now supports withdraw “5”, “all”, and “x” optional amounts for buckets/compost/supercompost.
  • The tool leprechaun now supports store “5”, “all”, and “x” optional amounts for buckets/compost/supercompost.
• Client changes:
  • Hide pet client option.
    • Players can now go into their client settings, and choose to hide the options from their pets.
      • If they toggle this option, they won’t be able to left-click on their pet to interact with them, and will only be able to examine them.
    • Additionally, even though you can't click on other players' pets, you can now at least examine them and see what their name is.
  • Virtual levels toggle:
    • Players can now go into their client settings and choose to toggle virtual levels.
      • Virtual levels allow you to visualize your progress after level 99, which shows the “virtual” level that you would be in a given skill if the max level was 126.
        • This is just cosmetic, and has no effect in-game or on total level.
  • Condense items toggle:
    • This feature will condense duplicate items in item piles when right clicking, so instead of seeing 2 rows for 2 fire capes on the ground, what you’d see instead is “Fire Cape (2)”, and one examine option for both items.
  • Show Item amounts toggle:
    • This feature will allow you to see the amount of stackable items when right clicking on item piles. 
      • For example, if there was a coin pile with 300k coins, when you right click it, you would see “Coins (300,000)”.
  • Item overlay changes:
    • Players can now hold shift to add and remove items from their item overlay list.
  • Remembering resizable client size:
    • The latest position/resize of the client will be remembered so that players no longer have to reset it when opening the client.
  • OpenGL updates:
    • Mac fix:
      • We've changed the way OpenGL loads on your device, making it less prone to failing on Mac OS.
    • Linux support:
      • We've also added a fix OpenGL on Linux, thought this hasn't been tested.
  • Render self command:
    • Players can now type ::renderself to choose whether or not they want their player model to be visible.
      • You’ll still be visible to other players, however you won’t be able to see yourself.
• Inferno training perk:
  • Uber+ donators will now have the opportunity to practice the inferno starting at wave 67.
  • Master donators will now have the opportunity to practice the inferno starting at wave 68.
    • By speaking to Tzhaar-Ket-keh outside of the inferno (once paying the fire cape fee), players may ask him to practice the inferno.
      • Players can choose to start either at the Triple Jad phase, or the last wave right away.
        • Completing the inferno in this training mode will not award any Tokkul, infernal capes, inferno kill counts, inferno kill times, and will not complete the inferno achievement. 
          • This is also a safe death for HCIM who wish to practice the Inferno.
• Group Ironman Integrity changes:
  • Group Ironmen can now only kick someone from their team once every 30 days, rather than the previous 7-day cool down. 
    • This is to deter item transferring between non-group members. We’ve seen many players abuse the integrity of the game mode by buying/selling items by switching groups temporarily, and therefore have added a limit and longer cool down period for switching groups, which will hopefully deter most players from doing this. 
  • Group Ironmen now have a hard limit of joining 5 groups over the lifetime of their accounts — if they have changed groups 5 times then they are no longer considered a Group ironman and must play solo. (Or remain in their final group, if they do not get kicked out).
    • If you are currently in a group, that will be counted as 1/5 and you have 4 joins left.
• Farming guild changes:
  • There were some issues in the past with Farming guild contracts not working properly, which created issues, especially with easy tasks that players could not cancel.
  • We’ve adjusted the level requirements for all farming guild contracts to follow the level requirements listed in the wiki link below:
    • https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Guildmaster_Jane#Farming_contracts
  • Players now require the following levels to complete each contract tier:
    • Easy contracts: 45+ Farming
    • Medium contracts: 65+ Farming
    • Hard contracts: 85+ Farming
  • Players should no longer get tasks that require them to enter sections of the Farming guild that they do not have the requirements for.
    • For example, in the past, players would get assigned a herb task on an easy contract, without the necessary level to enter the section of the farming guild that contained herb patches, making the contract impossible to complete.
  • A bug that caused players to not be able to complete a contract if they ran out of inventory space on their last yield has also been fixed.
• Theatre of Blood QoL:
  • Passage fix:
    • The passages between ToB rooms were quite buggy, and would stop your character's movement and say "I can't reach that!" if you clicked on the door from the wrong angle.
  • Maiden fix:
    • Running into the Maiden room will now give a few seconds before the Maiden attacks you, giving you time to run up and not get hit until you can fight back.
      • This only counts for the first hit, and players entering later on will still receive damage no matter where they are in the room.
• Call pet option:
  • Players can now use the “call follower” option in the equipment interface to summon their pets if they’re more than 5 steps away.
• Menagerie changes:
  • The following changes have been made to the pet house:
    • Oak pet house now stores 3 pets.
    • Teak pet house now stores 5 pets.
    • Mahogany pet house now stores 7 pets.
    • Consecrated pet house now stores 9 pets.
    • Desecrated pet house now stores 12 pets.
    • Nature pet house now stores 52 pets.
  • Due to the changes to the pet houses, the only the first 12 pets you have in your pet house will spawn and move around.
  • The pet list now includes the pets in your menagerie.
  • Players can now use their pets directly on the pet house to deposit them.
  • Guests can now view the pet list of the owner’s house.
• Iban’s staff (u):
  • Players can now speak to Aubury to upgrade their Iban’s staff to an Iban’s staff (u) for 3 million coins.
    • Players will need an Iban’s staff in their inventory to ask Augury about it, and playing him 3m coins will upgrade the staff you have to an Iban’s Staff (u), and set your charges to 2,500 casts.
      • No runes will be required to cast the spell if you have charges.
      • When the charges run out, the staff will degrade to a regular Iban’s staff.
      • The Iban’s staff (u) will autocrats Iban’s blast.
  • Note: The charges are account dependent, and NOT staff dependent, so for example, upgrading a second Iban’s staff with Aubury with 1,000 charges left will mean you gain 1,500 charges instead of the full 2,500.
• Clue scroll changes:
  • 3 new coordinate clues have been added in the Kourend area.
  • 1 new cryptic clue has been added in the Kourend area.

 

 

 

• Website:
  • Media page:
    • The Merch page has been removed and replaced by the new media page which can be found below:
      • https://www.alora.io/features/

 

 

 

• Store:
  • Inverted Santa hat:
    • A brand new, never before seen Santa hat with the red and white colours inverted has been added to the store!
      • This Santa hat costs 1,500 tokens and is tradable.
      • It can also be purchased by Ironman/Realism players.
  • New Bonds ($50 / $100):
    • To make trading donations less tedious, the following bond denominations are now available for purchase:
      • $50 bonds:
        • These cost 500 tokens, and add $50 to total spent (as well as removing $50 from the purchaser's rank).
      • $100 bonds:
        • These cost 1,000 tokens, and add $100 to total spent (as well as removing $100 from the purchaser's rank).
    • Note:
      • The cost to convert these bonds scales with the price, so a $10 bond is 5m to convert, while the other two are 25m and 50m, respectively.
      • Bonds have also been changed from (100 tokens) -> ($10) in the name.
  • Miscellaneous:
    • Gold leafs can now be purchased by Ironmen.

 

 

 

 

 

We hope you enjoy this update! :) Please report any bugs that you run into.

Keep an eye out for more information regarding The Nightmare, and enjoy this update in the meantime :)

  • Clicking random settings will no longer toggle the 'Show friendly names' option.
  • 'Show friendly names' colours have been adjusted to better match the RuneLite plugin.
• Chambers of Xeric QoL:
  • The amount of kindling you can receive per swing is now determined by your woodcutting level. Starting at level 1 Woodcutting you can receive 1 kindling per swing, at 24 Woodcutting you can receive 2 kindling. The amount of kindling per swing goes up by 1 for every 12 Woodcutting levels after 24 Woodcutting.
  • For example, at level 99 Woodcutting you'll receive 8 kindling per chop.

  • Fixed a bug where picking up noted zamorak wines in the wilderness would cause them to not visually disappear off the ground.
  • The Saradomin Crozier now has the proper alch value and is tradable.
  • The zombie head can now be equipped properly.
  • Added the proper attack interface for the Scythe of Vitur.
  • The attack styles are as follows:

  • Fixed a bug that allowed Uber donators to do the zuk inferno training.
  • Fixed a bug where you weren't previously able to remove/add an item from the overlay list if you were holding shift.
  • Centred the friendly name overlay.
  • Changed the oak tree easy contract requirements from 45 to 65 Farming.
    • Fixed a bug where transferring an item to a player who logged off would cause the item to disappear.
  • Iban's staff (u) will no longer delete runes if you have them in your inventory.
  • Fixed a bug where infernal training would count towards tzkal-zuk or tztok-jad tasks.
  • Fixed a bug where Lizardman shamans would hit you after they died if they did a jump attack just before they died.
  • Konar Lizardman canyon tasks will now count for Lizardmen in the east canyon.
  • Fixed a bug where removing a pet from your menagerie without a full inventory would cause you to lose it.
  • The gilded 2h sword animations have been fixed, and now requires 40 attack to equip.
  • Shifted the graphics for the staff of dead special attack so that the head is above the player as intended.
  • The right-click trade options on the Estate agent have been re-added.

    • A duplicate Gnomish firelighters in the Medium clue log has been removed.
    • The Zalcano killcount was not being properly displayed.

  • Item overlay quest scroll bug:
    • If you opened the overlay interface, and then opened another interface that also uses the quest scroll (Achievement progress interface) it would sometimes be bugged and show the names of your blocked items. This has been fixed.

Quality of life:

• Changed the hide-pet option to still show the options for pets instead of completely hiding them, but will prioritize other non-hidden options instead.
• Clue scroll caskets are now stackable.

Miscellaneous:

• When typing ;;gamble, a warning message will be sent telling you to familiarize yourself with the rules on ;;topic 53293 before gambling.
• Receiving rare loot from Implings (eg. 3rd age) will now update your Collection log with the new items.

Master clue scrolls:

• Players can now obtain and complete master clue scrolls.
• Each player can only have 1 master clue scroll on their accounts at any given time, so unlike the other clue scrolls, they cannot be stacked.
• As a consequence, this means players can now drop/empty the clues they cannot complete, and once they get a new one, it’ll be a new random clue step.
• The possible rewards from master clues can are as follows:
  • The miscellaneous rewards can all be found in through the following link:
    • https://oldschool.ru...casket_(master)
      • The amounts are generally the same, with some discrepancies.
  • ​The rare drop table contains the following items:
    • Godsword ornament kits
    • Demon masks(except black demon mask)
    • Kourend hoods
    • Robes of darkness
    • Left eye patch
    • Obsidian cape®
    • Half-moon specs
    • Fancy tiara
    • Bowl wig
    • Dragon platebody ornament kit
    • Twisted relic hunter t3
    • Twisted cane
    • Twisted banner
    • Twisted blueprints
    • Swift blade
    • Guthixian icon
    • Armadyl/bandos/seren/ancient/brassica halos
    • Merfolk trident
  • The mega rare table:
    • This table contains all 3rd age items, including a chance to get Druidic Third Age.
      • Druidic third age has been removed from the elite drop table as a consequence, since it always belonged on the master drop table.
    • We’ve also added a few custom items to the mega rare drop table:
      • Wise old mans staff
      • Crystal grail
      • 3rd age ring
      • Bow-sword
      • Rain bow
      • Shaman mask
• Obtaining Master Clues:
  • There are 2 ways to obtain master clues in-game:
    • Speak to Watson, and provide him with 1 of each clue tier(easy, medium, hard, elite), and he will give you a master clue scroll.
    • Players can store the 4 clue scrolls with Watson, however he won’t give you a master clue scroll if you already have one.
  • Players can also obtain master clues from doing regular clues.
    • The rates for obtaining a master clue are as follows:
    • Easy clue scrolls: 1/50 chance
    • Medium clue scrolls: 1/30 chance
    • Hard clue scrolls: 1/15 chance
    • Elite clue scrolls: 1/5 chance

STASH units expansion:

• 4 new STASH units have been added due to the expansion of master clues.
  • Zul-Andra STASH unit:
  • Stores the Dragon 2h sword, Bandos boots, and Obsidian cape.
  • Requires level 88 construction to use.
• Varrock palace STASH unit:
  • Stores a Zamorak Godsword.
  • Requires level 88 construction to use.
• Soul Altar STASH unit:
  • Stores a Dragon pickaxe, Helm of Neitiznot, and Rune boots.
  • Requires level 88 construction to use.
• Catacombs STASH unit:
  • Stores an Arclight and Amulet of the Damned.
  • Requires level 88 construction to use.

Twisted blueprints:

• You can now unlock the Twisted house style using Twisted blueprints!
• These blueprints are tradable, and you can retrieve the blueprints by changing your house style to any other style. (the blueprints will be re-added to your inventory)

Staff of balance:

• This item can now be created by attaching a Guthixian Icon to the staff of the death.
• It has the same stats and special attack as the staff of the dead.
• Players wielding it are able to cast Claws of Guthix.

Vote shop additions:

• Inferno training ticket:
• When used on Tzhaar-ket-keh, this will allow players to take part in inferno training starting at wave 68.
• Completing the inferno in training does not provide any slayer experience, infernal cape, Tokkul, or kildcount.
• The cost of this ticket is 400 vote points.

Clue scroll changes:

• Clue scrolls of Easy/Medium/Hard/Elite tier can now only be obtained if the player doesn’t currently have that clue scroll tier on their account.
• For example, if a player has 1 or more Elite clue scrolls on their account, they will not be able to obtain another one.
• There are multiple reasons for this change:
• We want to encourage players to do their clue scrolls as they get them, instead of hoarding many clue scrolls in their banks.
• We want to add consistency with how master clues are.
• We want to eventually integrate a system that will allow players to destroy their clue scrolls that have steps they can’t complete so that they can get new ones.
• For this to be possible, the multiple-scroll system will need to be phased out.

Clue scroll drop changes/additions:

• Impling changes:
  • Ninja implings now have a 1/25 chance of giving a Hard clue scroll.
  • Magpie implings now have a 1/50 chance of giving a Hard clue scroll.
  • Nature implings now have a 1/100 chance of giving a Hard clue scroll.
  • Eclectic implings now have a 1/25 chance of giving a Medium clue scroll.
  • Essence implings now have a 1/50 chance of giving a Medium clue scroll.
  • Earth implings now have a 1/100 chance of giving a Medium clue scroll.
  • Gourmet implings now have a 1/25 chance of giving an Easy clue scroll.
  • Young implings now have a 1/100 chance of giving a Medium clue scroll.
  • Baby implings now have a 1/100 chance of giving a Medium clue scroll.
• Players now have an uncommon chance to get an elite clue scroll from the chambers of xeric.
  • This will not lower your chance to get a rare drop, and will only replace a resource drop.
• Players now have an uncommon chance to get an elite clue scroll from the Theatre of Blood.
  • This will not lower your chance to get a rare drop, and will only replace a resource drop.​

Herblore Skillcape perk:

• This perk allows players to make unfinished potions with grimy herbs while their Herblore cape or equivalent Max/Completionist cape is equipped.
• Players will still receive the experience for cleaning the grimy herb when mixing it into the unfinished potion.

Website updates:

• Discord widget:
• Gone are the days where the Discord app must be open to stay up to date! If you prefer to use the forum, you'll now have a Discord orb in the bottom right corner of the homepage and forum index page which allows you to stay connected without having the Discord app open.

As always, please report any bugs that you run into immediately :)

Regards,
Omicron & Chad

 

February 13, 2020 - Dev Blog #9 

Spoiler

Hello everyone,

 

We want to keep everyone on the loop with what we're working on, and although we're juggling a few different exciting pieces of content, our current focus is on the OSRS's latest update: The Nightmare of Ashihama.

 

The Nightmare is a boss which can be fought by anywhere from 1 to 80 players, scaling based on the number of players in the room. Any players who meet the minimum damage threshold will be eligible for loot, with the player who dealt the most damage (MVP) receiving a significant boost to their loot.

 

Located in the Sisterhood Sanctuary under Slepe, any player with at least level 50 Combat can enter The Nightmare's realm after speaking with Shura. Shura will explain where the Nightmare came from and how she has managed to contain it, as well as the history of her people.

 

We're extremely excited to be able to bring this content to you shortly, and although we don't have an exact ETA due to the intricacies of the boss's combat mechanics, we are working as hard as we can to release this update as soon as possible and have already made significant progress.

 

Here are some previews of the content:

 

We hope you've enjoyed this development blog, and we look forward to having this update out in the very near future :)

 

Best Regards,

Omicron & Chad

This month I will be interviewing Miya and Iron Champie! Let's start with Miya...

sycamore: So....Where does the name Miya come from?

Miya: There's this mobile game called Mobile Legends that i used to play and there was a character called Miya, so when I created my Alora account I wanted a short and simple name. TA DA!

sycamore: What was your New Years Resolution?

Miya: My new years resolution was to go gym more and use less sickies (sick leave) at work....

sycamore: .....And how did that work out for you?  

Miya: Let's just say 2021 will be my year.

sycamore: Who's your favorite basketball player and why?

Miya: I grew up watching Kobe and loved Lakers ever since, the highs and the lows!! So Kobe will be my all time favourite but if i was to choose a current player i would say.. DAME LILLARD IS COLD!

sycamore: Dame is ICE cold, as one might say... Speaking of which, you've been selected as team captain of a 5v5 bball tournament! Which ICE members do you recruit to be on the team?

Miya: Sorry Loo I need someone to rebound
KING "GIANNIS" PURPLE KP
Paine
Gfxez
Fiji Drip

sycamore:   Loo can play left bench for sure. What is your favorite comfort food?

Miya: Rice or Noodles dish :)

sycamore: I'm a huge fan of pho, but I'm worried that my Vietnamese friends will make fun of my pronounciation. How do I say it correctly?

Miya: It's so good Sass! Vietnamese way of pronouncing it is like " FURR " and not " FOH " but we Viets know what you guys mean anyways :)

sycamore: Last question - Who is your celebrity crush?

Miya: Jessica Alba

Next up, Iron Champie!

sycamore: What has been your favorite update on Alora?

Iron Champie: Its really hard to choose one update over another as I do believe Omicron and Chad do a fantastic job releasing a variety of different content. However, if I really had to choose one I'd probably go with the Achievement Dairy update.

sycamore: If you could meet one person from the staff team, who would it be and why?

Iron Champie: Don't think I can choose one over another so I'll list them both, Morgen & J boogs. Through Alora and being on the staff team I've become really good friends with both of them and I think we could have a good time in real life. If not those two then MT, so we could have a fantastic steak together

sycamore: MT would def be down for that! What are your current goals on Iron Champie?

Iron Champie: As of now I don't really have any goals for the account. I play the game at my own pace and I do the content I like at any given moment. Obviously 200m in every skill and filling out as much of the collection log as possible is something I'd like to achieve at some point.

sycamore: What's a cool fact about Denmark that most people don't know?

Iron Champie: Whenever someone goes on maternity the employer actually have to pay salary to the employee while him or her is on maternity. I'm not sure if many countries have this.

sycamore: Please translate to American...

sycamore: What's your favorite smell in the whole world?

Iron Champie: Tricky one. Gas and freshly mowed grass is definitely some of my favorites.

sycamore: FRESH MOWED GRASS What weird food combinations do you enjoy?

Iron Champie: Salami with remoulade and roasted onions.

sycamore: What's your favorite movie quote?

Iron Champie: Probably May the force be with you. I've always been a huge fan of Star Wars and I do think this is one of the more iconic movie quotes.

sycamore: If you could have dinner with any famous person, who would it be?

Iron Champie: There is a lot of historical figures I'd love to sit down and have dinner with. One of them would for sure be a famous actor named James Spader, known for his appearance in the netflix series Blacklist. He seems like an amazing gentlemen, very down to earth, fantastic actor and he tells some of the most amazing stories I've ever heard.

sycamore: Spader is a straight G, good pick.
