Oh Du Hast

Hello everyone,

Today's update consists of many bug fixes but also plenty of new content! A few days ago, raids were released on OSRS and we've begun working on them to get them to you as soon as we can. In the meantime, here are the latest updates:

NOTE: You must restart your client to obtain the latest version!

Combat:
- Dragon scimitar special fixed once and for all
- Teleblock issues fixed:
  - Fixed spam-teleblock bug which didn't allow you to attack a player who was already teleblocked
  - Teleblock accuracy slightly increased
  - Visual teleblock timer on client was previously 5-10 seconds too long, this has since been fixed.
- Fixed issue where two people could attack the same person in 1 tick
- Dragon spear special fix:
  - If you spec someone against a wall, it will not try to run them to the other side of the wall.
New Duel Arena System:
- The new OSRS duel arena has been implemented!
  - Due to the amount of scam reports the staff team has had to deal with, the new duel arena system seemed like a great option to deter scamming.
- We've implemented the new system with the following useful features:
  - View other player's inventory/equipment (without showing amounts of any item)
  - No switch weapon ~ You will not be able to switch your weapon once the duel starts
  - (Coming later this week) Presets/Load last duel ~ Later on this week, this option will be added to make the setup interface process even smoother.
- Bug fixes:
  - Firemaking/mithril seeds blocked within arenas
  - Flags/trapdoors fixed -- You are now able to forfeit the duel
- NOTE:
  - There are bound to be bugs with this system, so please help us perfect it by reporting them in the correct section!
Miscellaneous:
- Fixed issue with trading interface -- second screen would show old item text
- Fixed teleporting out of monkey madness and not losing items on death
- Administrators are now able to spawn NPCs that all players can attack(for event purposes)
- Pet options fixed:
  - Pets such as Rift guardians can now undergo metamorphosis
Pet insurance changes:
- Your pet will now always be insured! If you do die with it, you will only need to pay to retrieve your pet.
  - This means you won't have to pay the 5M again for insurance
- With this update, pet insurance has been increased from 5M to a one-time fee of 10M.
Miscellaneous:
- Fallback for bug abuse ~ If you do manage to get out of a minigame, you will not be able to duel.
- Dragon claws are also now tradable
Raids items teaser:
- Everyone is excited about raids coming out, OSRS and Alora players alike! We wanted to give everyone a small taste of what the raids items are like, so we've added these 3 components to the website store:
  - Elder maul
    - Similar to the Chaotic maul, this powerful weapon provides a heavy blow to any formidable opponent.
  - Ancestral robes set
    - A magical set of robes, in which each component provides a magic damage boost.
    - The entire 3-piece set provides a 6% boost to Magical damage!
  - Kodai wand
    - The strongest of the wands, the Kodai wand provides a 15% boost to all Magical damage!
- Raids are being worked on as we speak, but it is a huge job which will takeat least 10 days, which is why we've decided to release a few of the items early while the hype is extremely high. Keep an eye out for more Raids information soon!
