Old School RuneScape news & patch notes

Changelog - July 22nd

Summer Sweep Up - Gear & PvM Changes

• There's now a guaranteed random demi-boss spawn at the north/east/south/west-most rooms from the centre. Meaning four demi-bosses with fixed locations, but the specific demi-bosses that you encounter will still be random.
• Demi-bosses have had their attack range reduced from 16 to 10.
• Non-demi-boss enemies now have standardised defensive stats, meaning it's never better to kill a wolf over a scorpion, for example.
• Weapon frames are guaranteed from your first 'low tier' NPC kill.
• Phren Bark, Crystal Ore and Linum Tirinum are now stackable.
• Crystal Shards are now automatically placed in your inventory. Additionally, the quantity dropped by enemies has a smaller range, so will feel much more consistent.
• Crystal Shard costs for crafting various pieces of equipment have been adjusted:
  • Creating a Tier 1 weapon requires no Crystal Shards, down from 20. You'll still need a weapon frame.
  • Creating a Tier 2 weapon requires 50 Crystal Shards, down from 60.
  • Creating a piece of Tier 1 armour requires 50 Crystal Shards, up from 40.
  • Creating a piece of Tier 2 Body armour requires 100 Crystal Shards, up from 80. Creating a piece of Tier 2 Leg or Helmet armour requires 50 Crystal shards, down from 80.
  • Creating a piece of Tier 3 armour requires 100 Crystal Shards, up from 80. The reason for this increase is that we don't want Tier 3 to become a guarantee/must-have for every run and should still be trading comfort for time-loss, encouraging people to push themselves down to Tier 1 prep for the fastest clears.
• Gauntlet Speed-chaser now requires a completion in under 4:45, down from 5:00.
• Gauntlet Speed-runner now requires a completion in under 3:45, down from 4:00.
• Corrupted Gauntlet Speed-chaser now requires a completion in under 7:05, down from 7:30.
• Corrupted Gauntlet Speed-runner now requires a completion in under 6:05, down from 6:30.

• Phantom Muspah tweaks:
  • Will no longer swap forms until you've dealt damage at least 4 times.
  • Homing Spikes special attack duration reduced to 34 ticks, down from 50 ticks. Additionally, the attack ends early if Muspah is phased into its 'blue shield' form.
• Demonic Gorillas will no longer swap prayers until you've dealt damage at least 4 times, and dealt at least 70 damage with a style.
• Skotizo tweaks:
  • Once a totem has been destroyed, it won't respawn for another minute.
  • The arena has been reduced in size, you'll have to get your steps in elsewhere.
• Ice Demon's demonbane vulnerability has been increased to 115%, up from 100%.
• Wardens in the Tombs of Amascut are no longer immune to the life leeching effects of the Sanguinesti Staff or Amulet of Blood Fury. You might notice some weirdness during P2 because damage calculations here are non-standard, but these should be working as intended.
• Autocast settings are now preserved through death.
• Looting a gravestone should now automatically sort your inventory to match its layout prior to your untimely death.

• Sanguinesti Staff Tweaks
  • Chance to heal increased to 1 in 5 (up from 1 in 6), deals 8 additional damage whenever the heal procs - this averages out to +1.6 damage per hit.
  • Base max hit increased by +1.
  • Charge cost reduced to 2 Blood runes per cast, down from 3. You should be refunded one Blood rune per charge upon logging in after the update. If your inventory is full then they'll go to your bank. If your bank is also full (or you're a UIM with a full inventory) then they'll drop on the ground.
• Soulreaper Axe Changes
  • Gains +4 Strength bonus.
  • Stack limit remains at 5, with 6% damage bonus gained per stack.
  • Stacks take 50 ticks to start decrementing, up from 20 ticks.
  • Stacks no longer drain HP.
  • Special attack now gains 12% accuracy per stack, up from 6% (60% at max stacks)
  • Special attack now gains 6% minimum hit per stack (30% at max stacks)
  • Updated the special attack animation of Soulreaper Axe and  Soulreaper Axe (o).
• Ghrazi Rapier Stab accuracy increased by +6, Strength bonus increased by +4.
• Blade of Saeldor Slash accuracy increased by +6, Strength bonus increased by +4.
• Pegasian Boots gain +1 Ranged Strength bonus.
• Master Wand gains +10% Magic Damage bonus.
• Ancient Sceptres (all variants) have their Magic Damage bonus increased to +10%, up from +5%.
• Aquanite Hopper to have its second hit accuracy penalty halved. There's not much room to buff this loads without it powercreeping on the Twisted Buckler, but a small buff should make it at least a little more worthwhile.
• Belle's Folly drop rate increased to 1 in 75, up from 1 in 256.
• Venator Bow to be made more consistent thanks to new engine capabilities. It's hard to quantify this, but in effect it should mean that the bow finds new targets more reliably.
• Inquisitor changes (it wouldn't be a Summer Sweep-Up without Inquisitor changes)
  • Inquisitor's Great Helm gains +2 Crush accuracy and +2 Strength bonus, to match its Oathplate equivalent.
    • Additionally, provides a +0.5% bonus to Crush damage and Crush accuracy. This boost is no longer increased by a set effect or when using the Inquisitor's Mace specifically.
  • Inquisitor's Hauberk gains +4 Crush accuracy, to match its Oathplate equivalent.
    • Additionally, provides a +1% bonus to Crush damage and Crush accuracy, up from +0.5%. This boost is no longer increased by a set effect or when using the Inquisitor's Mace specifically.
  • Inquisitor's Plateskirt gains no Crush accuracy or Strength, since it already matches its Oathplate equivalent.
    • Additionally, provides a +1% bonus to Crush damage and Crush accuracy, up from +0.5%. This boost is no longer increased by a set effect or when using the Inquisitor's Mace specifically.
  • Inquisitor's Mace gains +7 Strength bonus and +7 Crush accuracy. This guarantees a max hit in all setups, and might add +2 max hits in some setups.
  • Additionally, any negative Stab/Slash bonuses have been removed from Inquisitor armour pieces.
• Shaman Mask Magic bonus increased to +2 from -6.
• Tonalztics of Ralos improvements:
  • Special attack buffed to reduce opponent's Defence by 12.5% of its Magic level per hit, up from 10%.
  • Special attack buffed to grant +50% increased accuracy.
• Rosewood Blowpipe changes:
  • Can now fire darts up to rune.
  • Special attack no longer grants +10% increased damage and -20% decreased accuracy.
• Burning Claws Special Attack Energy cost increased to 35% from 30%.
• PvP Only: The Eclipse Atlatl now fires every 4 ticks while set to Rapid, unless the full Eclipse set is worn to reduce the attack rate back to 3 ticks.
• PvP Only: The Soulflame Horn's Accuracy boost for Special Attacks has been reduced to +50%, down from +100%.

Maggot King Combat Achievements

The Blood Moon Rises Tweaks

• Engorged bloodwood trees now occasionally require an extra interaction when collecting Bloodsap. This is only to help prevent fully hands-off gathering while still keeping the method low-intensity and Semi-AFK. Essentially, you'll sometimes see a Letvek crawling into your bucket which will require clicking on the bucket to release it. When this happens, it will be at the same time you’d already be checking the tree or collecting Bloodsap, so the activity should still feel pretty similar.
• Fixed a bug where Maggot Kings' white tendrils signaling the transition could disappear if it took damage during its scream attack.
• The Dragon Axe (or) is now correctly recognised as a dragon axe by Bloodwood trees.
• We're also sharing the pet drop chances from Bloodwood tree woodcutting and Leechfin fishing that you asked about last week. Check out its dedicated section for more info.

Leagues VI Reward Tweaks

• The 'Twisted Vision' and 'Oath Breaker' cosmetics now cost 200 Slayer points instead of 1000 Slayer points in the Slayer Rewards Shop. Players who have already unlocked these by paying the former price will be refunded the 800 points difference upon login.
• You can now display Demonic Pacts Outfit on outfit stands in your Player-Owned House. Also, the Relic Unlock and Demonic Mark emotes are now present withing the Emotes interface.
• When trying to delete rooms in the PoH which have cosmetic attachments to their furniture, you will now be warned and told to remove them before deleting the room.
• You can now see the Leagues VI: Demonic Pacts HiScores displaying the Top 100 players via the League accomplishments scroll in your Player-Owned House.
• Adjusted the Impish Whistle's size to look a bit smaller on the ground and updated its Inventory icon.
• The Cosmetic Override Interface will now correctly display your enabled overrides, including showing the Default box as selected when no overrides are active.

Other Changes

• Ironwood hull parts can now be made at level 75 Construction, rather than 77, to match the level for installing them in a boat.
• Some spelling has been corrected on Zogre area scenery.

Summer Sweep Up - Gear & PvM Changes

Gauntlet Prep Improvements

• There's now a guaranteed random demi-boss spawn at the north/east/south/west-most rooms from the centre. Meaning four demi-bosses with fixed locations, but the specific demi-bosses that you encounter will still be random.
• Demi-bosses have had their attack range reduced from 16 to 10.
• Non-demi-boss enemies now have standardised defensive stats, meaning it's never better to kill a wolf over a scorpion, for example.
• Weapon frames are guaranteed from your first 'low tier' NPC kill.
• Phren Bark, Crystal Ore and Linum Tirinum are now stackable.
• Crystal Shards are now automatically placed in your inventory. Additionally, the quantity dropped by enemies has a smaller range, so will feel much more consistent.
• Crystal Shard costs for crafting various pieces of equipment have been adjusted:
  • Creating a Tier 1 weapon requires no Crystal Shards, down from 20. You'll still need a weapon frame.
  • Creating a Tier 2 weapon requires 50 Crystal Shards, down from 60.
  • Creating a piece of Tier 1 armour requires 50 Crystal Shards, up from 40.
  • Creating a piece of Tier 2 Body armour requires 100 Crystal Shards, up from 80. Creating a piece of Tier 2 Leg or Helmet armour requires 50 Crystal shards, down from 80.
  • Creating a piece of Tier 3 armour requires 100 Crystal Shards, up from 80. The reason for this increase is that we don't want Tier 3 to become a guarantee/must-have for every run and should still be trading comfort for time-loss, encouraging people to push themselves down to Tier 1 prep for the fastest clears.
  • For some comparisons:
    • A full set of Tier 1 armour and two Tier 3 weapons requires 250 Crystal Shards, down from the 280 that it currently does.
    • A full set of Tier 2 armour and two Tier 3 weapons requires 450 Crystal Shards, down from the 460 that it currently does.
    • A full set of Tier 3 armour and two Tier 3 weapons requires 750 Crystal Shards, up from the 700 that it currently does. The additional demi-bosses dotted around and auto-pickups for Crystal Shards should make it much easier to rack these up though!

• Gauntlet Speed-chaser now requires a completion in under 4:45, down from 5:00.
• Gauntlet Speed-runner now requires a completion in under 3:45, down from 4:00.
• Corrupted Gauntlet Speed-chaser now requires a completion in under 7:05, down from 7:30.
• Corrupted Gauntlet Speed-runner now requires a completion in under 6:05, down from 6:30.

Other PvM or PvM-adjacent Changes

  • Homing Spikes special attack duration reduced to 34 ticks, down from 50 ticks. Additionally, the attack ends early if Muspah is phased into its 'blue shield' form.
  • Demonic Gorillas will no longer swap prayers until you've dealt damage at least 4 times, and dealt at least 70 damage with a style.
• Skotizo tweaks:
  • Once a totem has been destroyed, it won't respawn for another minute.
  • The arena has been reduced in size, you'll have to get your steps in elsewhere.
• Ice Demon's demonbane vulnerability has been increased to 115%, up from 100%.
• Wardens in the Tombs of Amascut are no longer immune to the life leeching effects of the Sanguinesti Staff or Amulet of Blood Fury. You might notice some weirdness during P2 because damage calculations here are non-standard, but these should be working as intended.

Changelog - July 8th

The Blood Moon Rises Tweaks & Fixes

• Fixed an issue where ammunition fired at the Maggot King could drop in an inaccessible area of the boss's lair. It will now drop in the player arena.
• Improved the visual distinction between the Maggot King's projectile attacks and floor hazards.
• Added Elite Clue Scrolls to the Maggot King's drop table.
• Improved the Maggot King's regular drop table by replacing some lower-value rewards with more valuable alternatives.
• The Maggot King now places harvested loot directly into your inventory instead of dropping it on the ground.
• The Aranei Scout outside Castle Drakan can now use coins from Death's Coffer or your bank when retrieving gravestones.

• Following on from the feedback we mentioned last week, we've updated the Crimson kisten's standard attack animation. After seeing that some players enjoyed the original animation and felt it gave the weapon more character, we've kept it in for the Stab attack style. Other attack styles now use heavier animation, while the Special Attack retains its full ground-smash effect to remain visually distinct.
• The Crimson kisten is now correctly classified as a spiked weapon, and its special attack now now correctly rolls against an npcs crush defence.
• Increased the Ranged Defence of Vyrewatch sentinels and Venators to better balance Blisterwood stakes against other Blisterwood weapons.
  • These should now be positioned as still a strong and viable option, depending on your gear, but no longer significantly better than the melee alternatives.
• The Sunspear now gains 25% increased accuracy (up from 0) and 50% increased damage (up from 25%) against Vampyres.
• Fixed an issue where Seeker Arrows provided their +20 Ranged Attack bonus regardless of the weapon equipped; this bonus now only applies when using bows.

• Stymphikes now drop 15 Feathers instead of 5.
• Dire Bats can no longer be lured to the Bank in Sangvesti.
• Venator drops now appear in the Slayer section of the Collection Log.
• Improved Venator drop tables, increasing the drop rates of Venator teeth and fangs while reducing the frequency of less valuable drops.
• Increased the chance of receiving a Blood sac from cutting Leechfin by around 20%.
• Leechfin now grant 33.2 Fishing XP per catch (up from 31.5), while cutting them into Blood sacs now grants 20 Cooking XP per cut (up from 2).
  • Our goal here is for highly active training methods to feel appropriately rewarding relative to other top-end skilling options. We felt Leechfin fell a little short of that, so we've given it a modest boost to better reflect the effort involved.
• The Angler's outfit now correctly increases Fishing XP when catching Leechfin.
• Removed the one-click Fletch option from Sap-treated Logs to remove the unintended impact on tick manipulation methods, as discussed in last week's Known Issues & Feedback blog.
• The alchemy value of Makeshift spears has been adjusted.
• The Tarnished bracelet is no longer labelled as a necklace.

• Players who completed the quest with a full inventory can now claim a free Sunspear from Efaritay.
• Reduced the number of misleading trees in the Softa Forest encounter to make the section quicker to navigate.
• Fixed a bug where you could not take an axe from the log stumps if you had a Zombie Axe or Battleaxe on your character or in your inventory.

Blood Moon Rises Tweaks & Fixes

Maggot King Changes

• Fixed an issue where ammunition fired at the Maggot King could drop in an inaccessible area of the boss's lair. It will now drop in the player arena.
• Improved the visual distinction between the Maggot King's projectile attacks and floor hazards.
• Added Elite Clue Scrolls to the Maggot King's drop table.
• Improved the Maggot King's regular drop table by replacing some of the less desirable rewards with more valuable alternatives.
• The Maggot King now places harvested loot directly into your inventory instead of dropping it on the ground.
• The Aranei Scout outside Castle Drakan can now use coins from Death's Coffer or your bank when retrieving gravestones.

Weapon Changes

• Following on from the feedback we mentioned last week, we've updated the Crimson kisten's standard attack animation. After seeing that some players enjoyed the original animation and felt it gave the weapon more character, we've kept it in for the Stab attack style. Other attack styles now use a heavier animation, while the Special Attack retains its full ground-smash effect to remain visually distinct.
• The Crimson kisten is now correctly classified as a spiked weapon, and its special attack now uses Crush.
• The Sunspear now gains 25% increased accuracy (up from 0) and 50% increased damage (up from 25%) against Vampyres.
• Increased the Ranged Defence of Vyrewatch sentinels and Venators to better balance Blisterwood stakes against other Blisterwood weapons.
• Fixed an issue where Seeker Arrows provided their +20 Ranged Attack bonus regardless of the weapon equipped; this bonus now only applies when using bows.

Vampyrium & Skilling Changes

• Stymphikes now drop 15 Feathers instead of 5.
• Dire Bats can no longer be lured to the Bank in Sangvesti.
• Venator drops now appear in the Slayer section of the Collection Log, rather than their own.
• Improved Venator drop tables, increasing the drop rates of Venator teeth and fangs while reducing the frequency of less valuable drops.
• Increased the chance of receiving a Blood sac from cutting Leechfin by around 20%.
• Leechfin now grant 33.2 Fishing XP per catch (up from 31.5), while cutting them into Blood sacs now grants 20 Cooking XP per cut (up from 2).
  • Our goal here is for highly active training methods to feel appropriately rewarding relative to other top-end skilling options. We felt Leechfin fell a little short of that, so we've given it a modest boost to better reflect the effort involved.
• The Angler's outfit now correctly increases Fishing XP when catching Leechfin.
• Removed the one-click Fletch option from Sap-treated Logs to remove the unintended impact on tick manipulation methods, as discussed in last week's Known Issues & Feedback blog.
• The alchemy value of Makeshift spears has been adjusted.
• The Tarnished bracelet is no longer labelled as a necklace.

Quest Fixes

• Players who completed the quest with a full inventory can now claim a free Sunspear from Efaritay.
• Reduced the number of misleading trees during the Softa Forest encounter to improve readability.
• Fixed a bug where you could not take an axe from the log stumps if you had a Zombie Axe or Battleaxe on your character or in your inventory.
• Lowered the defence slightly of Venators encountered in Castle Drakan during the quest.
• Maxilla Beasts can no longer be defeated using recoil damage.
• Locked doors on the Castle Drakan map now display tooltips indicating which key is required.
• Fixed a rare issue where Drakan could become stuck after his interlude attacks.
• Fixed visual issues affecting the bridge cutscene.
• The unlock hint for Lord of the Larvae has been corrected.

  The Blood Moon Rises

  For years, Morytania has endured in the shadow of Lord Lowerniel Drakan. The Myreque have fought, bled, and fallen in the darkness, holding back an evil unlike any other. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/dcf1fbbb9e8dece3ef3a4907f17c263538246879.png Thank you to incredible illustrator Enkoro for this stunning artwork. Available to download for your desktop wallpaper here! Want to catch up on where the story left off? We've partnered with creators PoisonedPotion, Enkoro and TheSkulled to bring you this epic lore video! Now, Drakan has returned to Vampyrium, the ancestral homeland of the vampyres. To step through is to leave the world you knew behind...

  The Quest: Getting Started

  The Blood Moon Rises is Old School’s newest Grandmaster quest and marks the final chapter of the Myreque saga. Before you get started, you'll need to ensure you've unlocked the following: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/713aedfcd704ec0f62366472dde48698f5aa122e.png If you can't see the image above, click here! To begin the quest, head over to the Icyene Graveyard (accessed via the boat in either south Burgh de Rott, Meiyerditch or Slepe) and speak to Sarius Guile. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/ca0d2e09a17d745b75bb3ad8fb855fe664de6616.png If you can't see the image above, click here! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/c17704ba55023a017cc22a3b369f291c35cdaefd.png If you can't see the image above, click here! Rally what remains of the resistance, follow Drakan into the darkness of Vampyrium, and decide the fate of Morytania once and for all! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/11211f1b02b95d9855041ba2ac4a3865255ceac9.png If you can't see the image above, click here!

  Before You Start

  When it comes to questing in Old School, you've always been free to take them on however you prefer. If you'd rather hold down that space bar and get it done as fast as possible, fair enough. We'll judge you a little bit, but we won't stop you. That said, if you're the kind of person who really wants to immerse themselves in this epic conclusion to the Myreque story, we have a few recommended settings for you that we think will help you get the most enjoyment out of things:
  • Master Volume - 100%
  • Music Volume - 20% or more
  • Sound Effects Volume - 45% or more
  • Area Sounds Volume - 25% or more
  • Music Mode - Area
  • View Distance - 50 or more
  A quick note for RuneLite users:
  • The Blood Moon Rises makes heavy use of visual layering and depth effects, particularly throughout Vampyrium.
  • For the best experience, we recommend using the standard GPU plugin. Players using the Legacy GPU plugin may encounter visual issues, so we’d recommend switching over before stepping beyond the veil!

  Vampyrium: Before You Enter

  At some point during your adventure, you'll find yourself travelling to the hostile land of Vampyrium. The intended experience is to complete your Quest journey through Vampyrium without interruption, so there are a few things to keep in mind before you step beyond the veil:
  • If you die in Vampyrium, you’ll respawn there with all your items, but these deaths are not safe, so Hardcore status will be lost.
  • Everything you need to survive can be found within Vampyrium, including consumable supplies.
  • Bank withdrawals aren't available, but depositing is.
  • It’s still worth preparing before you leave, but grit, perseverance, and careful play will matter more than good gear.
  • You can teleport out of Vampyrium at any time, and if you leave, the story will continue right from where you left off.
  Once you've completed the quest, You'll earn the following rewards:
  • A new Spec Weapon
  • An Upgraded Flail (obtained during the quest)
  • Six XP tomes, each granting 30K XP to a skill of your choice, level 70 or above.
  • 4 Quest Points
  • You'll also be able to return to Vampyrium and engage in its unique skilling activities
  And finally, a little reminder for all. The Blood Moon Rises is expected to be challenging. We've really tried to do something different here, and while we're not expecting this to be a huge difficulty jump over existing Grandmaster quests, difficulty can often be subjective. You will ultimately face formidable combat challenges where perseverance will be the key to victory. For many of you attempting this on release, it may well feel like a step up from Desert Treasure II, especially in your initial attempts while you learn the new mechanics. We'd like to see how you fare in this epic conclusion before rushing to make changes, but rest assured, we'll be closely monitoring your feedback and will make changes where necessary.

  A Personal Note From Mod Ed

  “So much of the media we enjoy today has been created in the hopes that it will continue on forever. With us celebrating 25 years, the RuneScape franchise itself is quite possibly one of the finest examples of that. And yet, there's very much a downside to this. The work is never done, and it's so rare now to experience a true ending. This is why it's so important to us that The Blood Moon Rises be just that. While there will always be more stories to tell in the land of Morytania, today marks the definitive end of the Myreque storyline. Old School is a game where you are always free to enjoy it as you desire. That will never change. If questing isn't for you and you simply wish to get this out of the way as fast as possible, that's something we'll always respect. That said, before you dive in, consider this: While it's true that there's nothing like going back and re-watching your favourite film or re-reading your favourite book, the truth is that it will never hit like it did the first time you experienced it. And so, when you come to play this quest, even if it's not your usual play style, consider slowing things down, turning up your music, and immersing yourself in a finale over 20 years in the making. If it turns out to not be for you, that's no problem, but if you don't give it a chance, you may well find yourself missing out, for you will only ever get one opportunity to experience this quest for the first time. With all that said, however you choose to experience The Blood Moon Rises and the land of Vampyrium, it has been the highest honour for myself and the team to finally bring this story to a close. We hope you enjoy it.”

  Vampyrium Skilling

  Watch Mod Ed's Vampyrium adventure here! Vampyrium’s horrors do not fade when the story ends. This blood-soaked realm is home to strange flora, hostile fauna, and several new post-quest skilling activities for those brave enough to return after the quest concludes. We’ve covered Vampyrium’s skilling activities in more detail in our dedicated Overview and Leechfin Fishing blogs, so head there for the full breakdown. For now, here’s a summary of what you can expect when you step beyond the veil... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/8f72add46e13ab36e0ce537bf8685950fc3cb785.gif If you can't see the image above, click here!

  Stymphike Hunter

  Circling high above Vampyrium’s twisted canopy are the Stymphikes: vicious predatory birds that descend only when the conditions are right. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/03105a7598ebc8908ed432db2259fa43382dde70.gif If you can't see the image above, click here! This Hunter method plays out across two connected stages. First, you’ll need to gather bait in the form of Letvek, which can be found roaming Vampyrium and captured using box traps. This first stage requires 76 Hunter and is the more active part of the hunt, giving you a way to build up your bait supply before turning your eyes to the skies. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/04d903228f2249af4e9731e367d782cd8aeeeeb2.gif If you can't see the image above, click here! Once you have Letvek in hand, you can begin hunting Stymphikes. This second stage requires 82 Hunter, along with a supply of Letvek and a nearby makeshift spear that's sharp enough to bring a Stymphike down. To begin, bait a Stymphike tree with a Letvek, then hide in a nearby bush and wait. While hidden, you’ll receive small amounts of Hunter XP as you keep watch from cover. After a short time, a Stymphike will descend to investigate the bait. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/bd65c0b2dd54d45d84aa670874087cb7e4605e1d.gif If you can't see the image above, click here! Once the Stymphike lands, you can spear it yourself for a larger chunk of Hunter XP, or, if you’d rather take a more relaxed approach, remain hidden and let your character make the attempt automatically after a short delay. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/f91e991c2f06bc6af93a7b29b243bd63639fbac8.gif If you can't see the image above, click here! For main accounts, Letvek can also be purchased from the Grand Exchange, letting you skip straight to the Stymphike-luring stage if you’d rather focus on the steadier, lower-attention part of the activity.

  Leechfin Fishing

  Beneath Vampyrium’s crimson waters, the Leechfin gather, perfectly adapted to a bloody realm where even the rivers run red. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/082c6868c38ebafeb11b135dbc1a2d3ed241fadb.gif If you can't see the image above, click here! Leechfin Fishing requires 72 Fishing and offers a more active way to train the skill without relying on tick manipulation. From the outset, you can choose whether to focus on stronger Fishing XP, or trade some of that XP for a steadier supply of Blood vials. This activity uses a Big net and plays similarly to the Fishing activity found in the Perilous Moons. Once you begin, Leechfin will swim downstream in waves. You’ll need to align your net with the incoming fish, reacting to their movement as they pass through the river. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/3108447f5fa46343cfeaecc8a22fc7fa41b65270.gif If you can't see the image above, click here! If you’re focused purely on Fishing XP, you can keep catching Leechfin and continue the activity for stronger rates. Leechfin themselves are untradeable, cannot be cooked, eaten, or stored in a Fish barrel, so you’ll want to manage your inventory as you fish. Alternatively, you can cut Leechfin with a knife to gather Blood sacs, earning a small amount of Cooking XP in the process. Blood sacks are untradeable but can be squeezed into empty vials to create Blood vials, and you’ll need 50 Blood sacs to fill one vial. The Leechfin will be coming in pretty thick and fast, so while 50 might sound like a lot, it shouldn't take too long to stack up! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/a55f43d4609f72a4232758429c89a750bbe0c6cf.png If you can't see the image above, click here! This gives the activity two clear paths:
  • Stay focused on catching fish and dropping for better Fishing XP
  • Spend time cutting Leechfin for Blood sacs and Vials of blood at the cost of lower XP.
  If you step away for too long, the activity will end automatically, so keep your eyes on the river. Vampyrium’s waters are generous, but they’re not patient...

  Bloodwood Woodcutting

  Amid Vampyrium’s crimson forests stand the Bloodwood trees, their bark split with a potent red sap that seeps beneath the realm’s eternal night. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/1ad09a906b8f5598f8ef04253a9deda972f29fed.png If you can't see the image above, click here! Harvesting these trees requires 77 Woodcutting and offers a new way to train the skill while gathering one of Vampyrium’s most valuable resources: Bloodwood sap. This activity is intentionally designed around a spectrum of engagement, similar in spirit to systems such as Oathplate smelting. You can approach Bloodwood Trees in a relatively low-intensity, semi-AFK way, or opt into a more click-intensive style that rewards focus and effort. Once gathered, this untradeable sap can be used to treat eligible Logs, arrows, or Arrow shafts before fletching them into Seeker arrows (more on that below) with a sharper, more reliable bite...

  A Note On XP & PvM Interactions

  XP Rates If you followed our earlier blogs, you may notice that this version of Bloodwood Woodcutting offers significantly higher XP rates under certain conditions of high-intensity play than originally discussed. While the original proposal outlined rates of roughly 80-90k XP/hr through more active play, the activity released today can compete with top-end methods under highly optimised play. As development continued, the activity evolved across the entire engagement spectrum, with the biggest changes coming at the higher-intensity end. Through iteration and playtesting, the mechanics became deeper and more involved than our initial proposal. As that happened, we felt the XP rewards needed to evolve alongside the activity, rather than remain locked to rates first outlined in the overview blog. At the same time, this also aligned with a wider shift in player feeling around XP rates and skilling metas in general, particularly regarding methods involving tick manipulation. We've heard plenty of feedback over the past year that activities requiring greater attention and execution should feel appropriately rewarding, and we wanted Bloodwood trees to reflect that philosophy. As with all new content, we'll be watching how this plays out at launch and looking at both Bloodwood sap production and how this activity fits within the wider Woodcutting meta. If the balance isn't where folks would like it to be, we'll make the necessary adjustments together as we go. PvM Interactions Our earlier blogs also mentioned that certain PvM encounters in Vampyrium could support Bloodwood sap production. However, during development, we explored several implementations but ultimately ran into the same problem each time. Either the PvM rewards were so small that they didn't feel worthwhile, or they became valuable enough that they undermined Bloodwood Woodcutting as the primary way of obtaining sap, and we couldn't find a middle ground that achieved what we wanted. Instead, at launch, Bloodwood Trees will remain the primary source of Bloodwood Sap, making higher-intensity Bloodwood Woodcutting even more rewarding for players who choose to engage with it. We'll continue monitoring how Bloodwood sap enters the game after release, and if additional sources are needed in future, we'll discuss those with you before making changes. Finally, we appreciate that both of these changes differ from what was originally outlined in our Overview blog. We should have communicated those changes more clearly before launch, rather than leaving players to discover them on release day, and that's on us. We'll do better to call out significant design changes like these in future, and we'll continue listening to your feedback as Blood Moon Rises settles in.

  Venator Slayer

  Among Vampyrium’s deadliest inhabitants are the Venators - vampyric pack beasts bred for blood sport and relentless pursuit. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/472b38841dcd926862c9b414414f7b73873d8f56.gif If you can't see the image above, click here! Venators require 74 Slayer and offer a new way to approach Vampyre Slayer tasks. When assigned to slay Vampyres, you can now choose to seek out these vicious beasts in Vampyrium instead, for a slightly more dangerous, active take on the task. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/0fcedb5d1802efaaadde4a6e1784caf8319068e6.gif If you can't see the image above, click here! These encounters are primarily single-combat and lean more towards rewards than Slayer XP, with a higher-intensity fight than standard Vampyres. Although more attention will be required, you'll be rewarded with a slightly higher rate of Blood shards in exchange. Venators also drop tarnished equipment and jewellery, which can be polished with 60 Crafting for Crafting XP and a random item of the same type. Slayer tasks remain the main way to hunt Venators, but they aren’t the only way. Players engaging with Stymphike Hunter can earn Stymphike Feathers, which may be handed in to a nearby Aranei for limited off-task access to Venators. 100 feathers are required at a minimum in exchange for up to 3 Venator kills. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/3f0b57f76bcbccec460626519a5a9e1d7d733d11.png If you can't see the image above, click here! If you’ve unlocked Bigger and Badder, you may also encounter a Superior venator. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/239473367fbd4bea803ee2584ee88e5b53223114.gif If you can't see the image above, click here! These deadlier variants are far more aggressive, chasing you down to stay within striking distance. Superior Venators can appear both on and off task, though only the on-task Superior Venators will roll for that elusive Imbued heart and Eternal gem.

  The Maggot King

  Deep within Vampyrium lies something ancient... swollen... and ravenous. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/283ef6f564ad505124db94ef7a1426a0b1bd1fa5.gif If you can't see the image above, click here! The Maggot King is a new repeatable solo boss encounter unlocked after completion of The Blood Moon Rises quest, offering a unique new challenge for players ready to take on one of Vampyrium’s most grotesque horrors. This is an instanced fight designed to test your precision, endurance, and rather more goo than anyone should be comfortable with. As the fight progresses, the Maggot King’s attacks become faster and more oppressive. The arena will grow increasingly dangerous, and you’ll need to manage the boss, its hazards, and the things crawling out of the filth if you want to survive. A few things to know before you enter:
  • The Maggot King can be assigned as a Slayer boss task, but it does not count toward any traditional Slayer tasks (e.g. Vampyres).
  • A scoreboard outside the arena tracks personal and global kill counts, deaths, and best times.
  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/54f068632a6ed566f460048a185de7ac0db95e67.gif If you can't see the image above, click here! Those who manage to bring down the Maggot King will have a chance to earn new rewards, including the Crimson kisten, a powerful crush-focused Special Attack weapon, and the Elder venator fang (previously referred to as Alpha venator tooth) - a key component used to create the Necklace of Rupture for a best-in-slot Ranged amulet upgrade. There’s also a new pet to chase! After defeating the Maggot King, you can claim your loot as normal or sacrifice it for a better chance at the pet. Sacrificing your loot gives you a chance to receive one of three mysterious eggs, each offering a different chance of hatching into the Maggot King pet.

  Rewards: Crimson Kisten

  With a focus on Crush accuracy, the Crimson kisten is designed to support its Special attack, Brutal Swing. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/4de01a48ee14760da44c9284ac3855ed4c841ab1.gif If you can't see the image above, click here! Costing 50% spec energy, Brutal Swing makes four separate accuracy rolls in a single hit. The more rolls you land, the harder the attack hits, rewarding high Crush accuracy with escalating damage. In practice, its damage scales like this:
  • 1 successful roll: 70-110% of your max hit
  • 2 successful rolls: 90-130% of your max hit
  • 3 successful rolls: 110-150% of your max hit
  • 4 successful rolls: 130-170% of your max hit
  Against Crush-weak targets, you’re more likely to land multiple successful rolls and push into the higher damage ranges. Against enemies where Crush isn’t ideal, the Special Attack still works, but without the same ceiling. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/116962a0265fc076c742d0759432af8f7dbc34bc.jpg If you can't see the image above, click here! To keep things in check against very low-Defence targets, the Kisten’s maximum hit is reduced by 1 when all four accuracy rolls succeed. This mirrors how Dragon claws calculate their own damage cap, helping the Crimson kisten stay devastating where Crush matters without invalidating existing Special Attack options elsewhere. If you’re looking to tear through Vampyrium’s horrors with something suitably vicious, this one belongs at the top of your list. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/e2f2d68ee22c7a41ff4a03b63bc5262596c414a5.gif If you can't see the image above, click here!

  Rewards: Necklace of Rupture

  The Necklace of Rupture is a direct upgrade to the Necklace of Anguish, offering a new best-in-slot option for Ranged setups. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/9b40f336382ae89dcf14d6ac8dc13071a0737fe1.jpg If you can't see the image above, click here! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/84ff1d3fddbd279caa461eb177db4ba2abe1e88f.png If you can't see the image above, click here! To create it, you’ll first need to obtain an untradeable Elder venator fang from the Maggot King. From there, the process mirrors other high-end jewellery upgrades:
  • Obtain an untradeable Elder venator fang from the Maggot King.
  • Etch the tooth with 84 Crafting to create a tradeable Etched elder venator fang.
  • Combine it with a Necklace of Anguish, requiring 84 Crafting.

  Skilling Reward: Seeker Arrows

  Seeker arrows sit at the heart of Vampyrium’s skilling rewards, but rather than introducing a brand-new arrow tier, Seeker arrows act as an upgrade layer. They enhance standard arrows, letting your existing ammunition remain relevant while giving it a Vampyrium-forged edge. When applied, Seeker arrows provide:
  • +20 Ranged Accuracy
  • A minimum hit of 3, raising your minimum damage from 1 to 3
  We’d also like to clarify how the minimum hit works with this one, as damage is rolled and calculated as normal, and only then raised to 3 if it would have been lower. Seeker arrows can still miss, but successful hits won’t land as 1s or 2s. For the Venator bow, this minimum hit applies to every bounce, meaning each hitsplat generated by the bow will have a minimum hit of 3. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39707052/c49223992d28c613da364d4faa35081c007fa6bd.jpg If you can't see the image above, click here! To create Seeker arrows, you’ll first need Buckets of bloodwood sap gathered from Bloodwood trees. From here, you have two options:
  • Create Seeker arrows from scratch by treating logs with Buckets of bloodwood sap, then fletching the Sap-treated logs into Seeking arrow shafts.
    • The higher the tier of log used here, the more Seeking arrow shafts are supplied. For example, applying Sap to a Redwood log will yield 105 Seeking arrow shafts when cut, whereas a treated Oak log only provides 30.
  • Finally, add feathers to create Seeking headless arrows and attach your chosen arrow tips to finish the arrows.
  OR
  • Apply Bloodwood sap to existing arrows, Headless arrows, or Arrow shafts to convert them directly into their respective Seeker arrow versions, in batches of 15 per bucket of Sap (same as the rate of standard logs).
  A few extra things to note:
  • Seeker arrows work with any standard arrow types from Bronze - Dragon arrows, including Broad arrows, but cannot be applied to poisoned arrows or fire arrows.
  • Seeker arrows are tradeable once completed, but Seeking arrow shafts and Seeking headless arrows are untradeable.
  • Sap-treated logs cannot be burned.

  Player Support and Anti-Cheating Statistics

  Welcome back to our monthly snapshot of Player Support and Anti-Cheating activity - your behind-the-scenes look at all the hard work going into keeping Gielinor fair and fun for everyone. Each month, we share key stats from our Player Support and Anti-Cheating teams so you can see exactly what’s been happening behind the curtain. From how quickly we’re responding to your queries, to the number of bots and rule breakers taken down, here’s the latest data for May 2026: Metric May 2026 Year to Date** Wealth Removed (OSRS) 4.76 Trillion 17.4 Trillion Support Queries Resolved 80,038 401K RWT Bans (OSRS) Total - 22,888 F2P - 5,242 P2P* - 17,646 84,796 Report Action Messages 177K 869K Macro Bans (OSRS) Total - 712,870 F2P - 691,426 P2P* - 21,444 Total - 6.9M F2P - 6.6M P2P* - 343K Live Chat Queries Resolved 4,169 24,217 Chat Spam Mutes 3,748 18,170 Average Response Time 20 hours - *P2P refers to an account with access to members’ worlds and features, either through a Bond or direct payment. **“Year to Date” refers to the period from January 1st, 2026 through to the end of the month covered by the stats - in this case, the end of April 2026. You can check these out in the Player Support Statistics and Anti-Cheat Statistics pages. Our teams remain as dedicated as ever to tackling cheaters, scammers, and spammers to ensure a fair playing field for all. As a result of these ongoing efforts, we're seeing an overall decline in rule-breaking activity. We're also seeing that the average account age and average account level of bots are decreasing, indicating that longer-standing and higher-level bots are being detected and removed from the game. Thanks for all the reports and support you send our way - it really does make a difference! Additionally, we’ve had a few reports of some players being phished out of their accounts. As always, bad actors are always cooking up new tricks. We've heard of a new few ones including fake P-Mod application forms asking for login details and illegitimate Jagex Launcher downloads hosted on other websites. This is a quick reminder to stay safe out there and think twice before entering sensitive details or downloading anything advertised as relative to RuneScape.There are no P-Mod Application forms, and anything you download for RuneScape must be a subdomain of Jagex.com or RuneScape.com to be considered safe. Always download anything directly through our website or Launcher – nowhere else. Some rules we always recommend:
  • Don't click suspicious links or download unknown files.
  • Jagex will never ask for your password or verification codes via email or messages. Never give away credentials that could be used to access your account.
  • Use your browser's phishing filters.
  You can find out more about phishing on our Support Centre.

  A Note from Us

  We want to thank everyone for their feedback following the recent OSRS logo update across the game clients. While we revisit our approach to logo consistency across our platforms, we've opted to revert to an earlier version of the OSRS logo with the banner attached for players using RuneLite, as the banner plays an important role in recognisability for anyone coming to Old School for the first time. We'd like to spend some time working with you to refine how we might tackle this again in the future.

  Mobile & Official Client

  We've been investigating the reported performance issues on mobile, where the game sometimes feels less responsive despite the in-game FPS counter showing expected performance. For a little more info on what happened, one of our updates in June included a large backend update to the core engine. As part of that, it appears we inadvertently added roughly one extra frame of input lag. At higher frame rates this is less noticeable, as at 60fps a single frame is 16.67ms (or 0.01667 seconds), however, at lower frame rates or with any dips, this can become far more pronounced, making the game feel laggier than the frame rate would otherwise suggest. We're almost ready to put out a fix that should address this. We're also still working on some extra diagnostic options to let you try different configurations for a future client update. This will help us gather more information from a wider range of devices and set ups, if needed. Please keep sharing your experience, especially if you're able to capture the issue on video, as it really helps us continue the investigation. We're hopeful this update will release this week, however it is still in testing phase as we want to ensure there's no unexpected hiccups when it comes to our newest content - The Blood Moon Rises! However, we can share a peek at what the upcoming changelog will be: Android
   
  • Restored Bluetooth Mouse left click/right click behavior.  
  • Fixed an issue with split screen windows.  
  • Fixed an issue resulting in a black screen after reopening the app once backgrounded.
  General
  • Fixed an input issue causing a laggy feel.  
  • Fixed a crash that could occur during login.  
  • Fixed an issue where tile highlights did not appear in some areas.  
  • Fixed an issue where NPC Tag would be lost after relogging.  
  • Fixed an issue where relogging didn't always bring up the sign in page.
  Thanks so much for your patience while we work through this!

Changelog - June 17th

• You can create up to 20 Bank Tags.
• To create a Bank Tag:
  • Select the lil' + button in the top-left corner of your Bank
  • Give your tag a title in the chat box that opens
  • Next you'll get a search box where you can select an item to represent your tag as an icon
  • Drag and drop an item from your main bank to your tag icon on the left to fill your tag
• To swap into your tag-view, simply select the icon and it'll pull up your tag. Tap or click it again to switch back to the bank.
• You can move your items around into any order you like, including leaving gaps or whole lines between items if you like.
• You can also duplicate tags by selecting duplicate from the minimenu, or if you're using a keyboard and mouse, you can hold shift while you drag an item and it'll spawn a new one.
  • Unfortunately for you rare item collectors this only duplicates the tag not the item! You've still got to grind for those T-bows!
• Read more details in its dedicated section further down the blog.

• Made the head of Soulreaper Axe (o) larger, more befitting for its mighty makeover.
• The Demonic Pacts Throne Scroll no longer has a Construction level requirement to apply to a Demonic Throne.
• Equipping the two-handed League VI trophies and the Storm cruiser's coat will no longer form a tail behind you.
• The uncharged Toxic Trident (e) (o) has been made darker to make it more visually distinct from the Trident of the Swamp (e) (o). Also, the icons for the Trident of the Seas (o) has been rotated to match its non-ornamented version.
• Ornamenting the Trident of the Swamp, Trident of the Seas and Iban Staff now works in both ways: either by using the staves on their respective ornament kits, or by using the kits on the staves.
• The examine texts of Leagues VI trophies have been updated to reflect the extended end date of the Leagues.
• Not Demonic Pacts related, but still Leagues-related: Falo the Bard will now accept the Trailblazer Reloaded variant of the Infernal Axe (or) for his clue step asking for an Infernal Axe.

• Added two new Slayer unlocks to Frost Dragons:
  • Chance of Heavy Frost: This unlock allows you to increase the weighting of Frost Dragon tasks from 5 to 8 on both Nieve and Duradel, making it more likely to receive these as tasks.
  • I See Dragon: This second unlock allows you to increase the task length of Frost Dragon Tasks, so you can keep slaying them for longer. Once this is unlocked, you'll be assigned between 180 to 240 Frost Dragons on both Nieve and Duradel.
  • These unlocks cost 100 Slayer Points each. Also, both of these unlocks can be disabled without a refund, should you prefer to.
• Bounty Task & Other Sailing Changes:
  • Adjusted Bounty Tasks to ensure that their rewards better reflect participation.
  • Players with multiple Bounty Tasks will also no longer receive multiple bounty item rolls from a single kill.
  • Fixed a bug causing Veiled Kraken to give off-task rates while on a Bounty Task for the Dragon Cannon Barrel.
  • Adjusted market values of several Sailing uniques to better align them with their current Grand Exchange prices.
  • If you loot sea creatures while operating a cannon, you will no longer have to re-engage with the cannon. This means you'll now continue firing the cannon automatically after looting nearby sea creatures.
  • If you are already overhealed from a Haddock and have between 100 and 108 Hitpoints, eating another Haddock will now correctly restore your Hitpoints to 109.

• To reduce the chances of players losing crucial untradeables in the Wilderness, we've applied the following changes:
  • Untradeables with no Combat benefits should never be lost on death,
  • Untradeables with some Combat bonuses should break and need repairing without a Trouver parchment,
  • Untradeables with strong Combat bonuses should need to be 'Trouvered' once, then never again.
• Untradeable items that previously didn't 'break', for example the Graceful set, will no longer be lost on death above Level 20 Wilderness.
• Untradeable items that previously broke will continue to break whether below or above level 20 Wilderness, but will no longer be lost. You'll continue to receive their 'broken' version and can repair them at Perdu for a small fee. Visit its dedicated section to see the items in this category.
• 'Higher tier' untradeables will continue to use the Trouver Parchment system, but with a crucial change: once a Trouver parchment has been used on an item, it will remain in that state forever, the parchment will not be lost on death.
  • On death below Level 20 Wilderness (or in PvP Worlds for fights at the Grand Exchange, for example), these higher tier items will simply break and be repairable with the current fee.
  • On death above Level 20 Wilderness, the item will become 'mangled' and require a higher fee of 500,000 GP to fix.
  • You can still use the item on Perdu to remove the Trouver Parchment, should you wish to. Note that if you do not add a Trouver parchment to your 'higher tier' items, they will continue to be lost above 20 Wilderness.
• In cases where items are kitted using things like Ornament kits, the usual behaviour will occur and whoever kills you should receive the Ornament kit used, provided the Ornament kit is tradeable. For example, on death above Level 20 Wilderness, Dragon Defender (t) will break but it won't be lost, and the Dragon Defender Ornament Kit will go to the PKer.
• Though it didn't make it into this game update, there is one additional change we're working on: attempting to enter the Wilderness with any untradeable item that requires a Trouver Parchment to be protected will display a warning to make sure you're aware that you're risking an untradeable.

• Added Dragon Crossbow and Opal Dragon Bolts (e) to the Max/Med loadout, and removed Rune Crossbow and Diamond Bolts (e).
• If you have the "Automatically smash empty vials" setting disabled, you will now keep the vials in your Inventory once a potion is fully consumed in Last Man Standing.
• Adjusted the default preset for players who have never played Last Man Standing before to have 3 Saradomin brews, 2 Sanfew serums and 10 sharks.
• Replaced the Berserker ring with the Berserker ring (i) in the starter kit for all builds.
• Set the default spellbook to Ancient Magicks if the player is brand new to the Last Man Standing gear setup.
• Zuriel's staff in Last Man Standing is now able to autocast Ancient Magicks spells as well.
• Added the Oathplate helm into the "Max/Med defensive" loot pool.
• Replaced the Dragon dagger with Dragon claws in the "Max/Med" starter kit.
• If sharks are dropped on the floor because the Inventory was entirely full, the sharks received when refilling your Inventory after a kill will stay on the floor only for 1 minute, as opposed to 10.

• Added Ancient warriors' weapons to the list of items that can be used at Emir's Arena.

• Herb patches in Weiss and Trollheim now display what herb they contain.
• The hitbox on Huasca herbs now matches that of other herbs.
• Adjusted the Portal Nexus interface to make teleport options easier to read.
• The Blue Moon spear's special attack tooltip now refers to the Blue Moon set by its correct name.
• Fixed a bug where if a player used the special attack of Vesta's Spear (bh) and then switched weapons, ranged damage wasn't being blocked. Now, both melee and ranged damage are blocked regardless of whether or not the player has Vesta's Spear (bh) equipped after using its special attack. We have also changed Vesta's Spear (Deadman Mode) to have the same functionality.
• Level-up messages will no longer list the same spell multiple times when it is available through more than one spell book.
• The Bottomless Milk Bucket now works with the Zanaris Dairy Cow.
• On C++ client, if you have an active clue and the Clue Helper setting is on, the music player will now automatically scroll to the track you need to play for Cecilia.

• Fixed various clipping issues caused by intersecting levels and floors across Gielinor - for instance, Red Axe Caves.
• Fixed various clipping issues that occur when objects are on top of each other, such as pages on top of the crates in Red Axe Caves.
• The feet of player characters no longer clip into the floor at the Agility Pyramid, the Arceuus Library, the basement of the Varrock Museum, grounds outside the southern entrance of Varrock, Lumbridge Castle kitchen and Shayzien Encampment wooden kits.
• The feet of birds in Tel Teklan no longer clip into surfaces.

Changelog - June 3rd

• Today we're launching new game worlds across three different regions, covering Japan, Singapore and South Africa!
• These worlds will launch shortly after our usual game update, and we'll let you know when they're live.
• You'll find the new game worlds here:
  • Singapore:
    • F2P: 660
    • Members: 661, 662, 663, 664
  • South Africa:
    • F2P: 667
    • Members: 668
  • Japan:
    • F2P: 698
    • Members: 699, 700
• We'll continue to explore the feasibility of more game worlds in new locations.

• Tool Leprechauns now have a right-click 'Deposit-all' option, allowing you to quickly dump your tools or offload buckets en masse without opening the interface.
• You can now dig up healthy plants while they're growing in the farming patch by using a spade on them.
  • This won't apply to patches that can contain only one type of plant, such as mushrooms, Belladonna, Grapevine, Redwood, Crystal trees, Spirit trees etc.
  • As part of this change, planting XP has been moved to either the end of the harvest process, just as the patch is cleared, or the check-health stage.
  • To ensure you don't miss out on planting XP should your plant die, clearing a dead plant affected by this change will now award the planting XP you would have gotten, had the plant survived.
  • You can once again get "planting" XP from a Goutweed tuber - on harvest or clearing up a dead plant.
• When you have an active Farming Contract, the required seed or sapling is now displayed at the top of the Seed Vault by default
• Using a Seed Box on a farming patch will now automatically attempt to plant the first seed suitable for that patch.
• Seeds can be reordered in the Seed Box interface by right-clicking the box and selecting 'Check'. You'll then be able to drag and drop seeds into your desired positions.
• Herb patches now show which herb they contain in the right-click options.
• We've added a right-click 'Clear' option for Cactus or Potato Cactus patches, allowing Cacti to be cleared even if they still have produce (Cactus Spines or Potato Cacti) on them.
• We've reintroduced Sulphurous Fertiliser (made by combining Saltpetre and Compost), to be used on vine patches within the Hosidius Vinery.
  • When applied to a vine patch, Sulphurous Fertiliser will increase grape yield (including Zamorak's grapes) by 20%.

• Courier Tasks now award 10% more Sailing XP, making them a more rewarding training option throughout the skill, while ensuring they don't overtake Sailing Trials as the best XP method.
• For players running efficient delivery routes, Courier Tasks should now offer noticeably better XP rates while remaining below top-end Trial activities such as Gwenith Glide.
• Every Sailing creature can now be reliably targeted through at least one guaranteed Bounty Task location.
  • For example, a player can go to Deepfin Point to guarantee getting a Veiled Kraken task or go to Lunar Isle for a Vampyre Kraken task.
• Bounty Tasks have been expanded to last significantly longer, reducing the need to return to port as often.
  • Most task requirements have been increased by around 5x, meaning you'll spend more time fighting creatures and less time returning to ports for new assignments.
  • Some examples include: Terns from 3 to 15, Butterfly Rays 1 to 5, Tiger Sharks 1 to 5, Albatrosses 1 to 5, Pygmy Krakens 6 to 30 and Vampyre Krakens 6 to 30.
• To support these longer tasks, Bounty Task XP has been rebalanced to reflect their longer requirements.
• Drop rates for Dragon Cannon Barrel, Dragon Hook, Bottled Storm and Dragon Metal Sheet while completing Bounty Tasks have all been increased.
  • We've also added Dragon Sheets and Dragon Nails to Orca loot tables, creating another source of Dragon Ship upgrade materials.
• Increased the Dragon Metal Sheet drop rates for Frost Dragons and Lava Strykewyrms.
• Increased the Dragon Nail drop amounts for Frost Dragons.
• The buy limit of Rubium Splinters has been increased from 4,500 to 30,000.
• Added a 'Teleport to Last Boat option' to the Teleport to boat (tablet), Player-owned house portals, Portal Nexus, and Scrying Pools. If you've previously selected a boat, you'll be able to return to it with a single click.

• A missing tile of land has been restored north of the Kualti Headquarters.
• We've streamlined the creation process of the new gem containers. You can now combine any required component with another to create the Gem Pouch, Satchel, Tote, or Sack.
  • Note, this does not include using a needle on thread.

Patch Clearing

• This applies to patches where multiple crop types can be planted, making it easier to recover from incorrect plantings.
• This won't apply to patches that can contain only one type of plant, such as Mushrooms, Belladonna, Grapevine, Redwood, Crystal trees, Spirit trees etc.
• You'll receive a warning before digging up a plant, with the option to disable future warnings.

• When you have an active Farming Contract, the required seed or sapling is now displayed at the top of the Seed Vault by default, so that the relevant seed is easier to grab in a pinch.

• Using a Seed Box on a farming patch will now automatically attempt to plant the first seed suitable for that patch.
• Seeds can be reordered in the Seed Box interface by right-clicking the box and selecting 'Check'. You'll then be able to drag and drop seeds into your desired positions.

Herb Patches, Contracts, and Compost

• Note, this change does not apply to dead herbs. For that, you will need to inspect it.

• We've added a right-click 'Clear' option for Cactus or Potato Cactus patches, allowing Cacti to be cleared even if they still have produce (Cactus Spines or Potato Cacti) on them.
• We've reintroduced Sulphurous Fertiliser (made by combining Saltpetre and Compost), to be used on vine patches within the Hosidius Vinery.
  • When applied to a vine patch, Sulphurous Fertiliser will increase grape yield (including Zamorak's grapes) by 20%.

Creator Crafted

Changelog - May 27th

• Updated the colours of Steel and Iron cannonballs to better depict their metals, bringing them in line with other items made from those materials.
• Likewise, Steel and Iron nails have also been adjusted so their appearance better matches their metal.
• Rubium Mining tweaks:
  • Tick manipulation no longer works at Rubium rocks.
  • Increased the amount of guaranteed Rubium Splinters you receive based on your Mining level, capping at 2:
    • Level 48 Mining: 1 guaranteed Splinter
    • Level 72 Mining: 2 guaranteed Splinters
• Incendiary and Chainshot cannonballs:
  • Reduced the Smithing XP as outlined in the blog here. (See the table for new XP rates in its dedicated section of this blog)
  • Reduced the production speed - the Incendiary and Chainshot cannonballs can now be made at one set every 2 ticks.
• Some hotfixes we've deployed last week:
  • The auto-retaliate option for cannons no longer has an additional delay, bringing them in line with standard combat.
  • The armour immunity of keels now works correctly when auto-retaliate is enabled for cannons.
  • The "Boat 'Em Up" track now correctly unlocks and gets added to the Music Player when the player is the Captain of the boat. If you previously completed the quest and the track did not unlock, you can now unlock it simply by disembarking at Last Light.

• Now, players must first win a game of Last Man Standing before they can purchase any tradeable items from Justine's Stuff for the Last Shopper Standing.
• Players who haven't won any games can only purchase the untradeable items from the shop.

• Now, if a player dies without having been in combat with another player within the last 30 seconds, their death will be treated as a PvM death instead of a PvP death - even if they were attacked by another player earlier. This change is intended to prevent situations where players are attacked in the Wilderness, forget they were attacked, then continue engaging in PvM and lose their items to a PvP death unknowingly.
• This applies to all account types, meaning if you haven't been in player combat in the last 30 seconds before dying:
  • The PKer can no longer receive your loot.
  • Your items can be reclaimed from your Gravestone or Death.
• If you've been in player combat in the last 30 second before dying, standard PvP death mechanics will apply.

• Updated the Leagues first board to reflect that Kalmaars was the first player to max in Leagues VI: Demonic Pacts.
• A message about puffer fish has been updated for players using the Medallion of the Deep.

    • 24 Adamantite Nails

    • 2 respective cannonballs combined with a chain produces 2 Chainshot cannonballs of the same type, that can be fired twice separately.
    • You can create Chainshot cannonballs up to Rune by smithing chains from Steel bars, then combining them with cannonballs at an anvil.

    • This burn effect will ignore any flat armour bonuses, making it a noticeable DPS increase over time.
    • 2 respective cannonballs combined with a chain produces 2 Chainshot cannonballs of the same type, that can be fired twice separately.

  • Rubium Geodes: requires Level 68 Mining, can be mined from Rubium Deposit, untradeable
    • Rubium Geodes can be broken down into Rubium Splinters by using a hammer and a chisel.
• Added an auto-retaliate setting for cannons when your boat is attacked by enemies at sea.
  • You can enable and disable this setting under the Combat Options tab, just like you do for weapons. It's set to be on by default.
  • When enabled, any cannon that you're locked into will automatically fire back at hostile sea creatures that attack you.
  • With auto-retaliate, there will be a short delay before the cannon responds, ensuring that actively targeting creatures yourself will always be the most efficient option.
• You can now change the colour of your boat's sails with the new range of sail cosmetics: Black, Blue, Green, Pink, Purple, Red and Yellow.
  • You can unlock Sail customisation at Level 41 Sailing.
  • Each of the solid-colour sails can be created using 10 of the matching dye, in the Shipyard.

• Added right-click Last Boat option to the Teleport to Boat spell, which lets you quickly return to the boat you last teleported to.
• Added right-click Last Boat option to the Summon Boat spell, which will summon the boat you last summoned.

• Lowered the Obelisk’s base Hitpoints on the Path of Het in Tombs of Amascut from 122 to 119. This means players with 85+ Mining will no longer occasionally fail to defeat it in a single cycle, even with tick-perfect timing.
• Fixed a bug where Partner slayer did not correctly enforce the "15 shared tasks" requirement.
• Revenant Cave Teleport Scrolls now have a ‘Drop’ option on their mini-menu and can be dropped on the ground.
• You can once again access the Waterfall Dungeon without a rope, provided you meet the requirements.
• Probita no longer gives extra copies of Gull to players who have Gulliver in their menageries.
• Resolved a range of Z-buffer issues across the game:
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien's sitting animation has been corrected.

Active facilities will always ask you to meet the required Sailing level to use, while Support facilities can be permanently used once built via boost, without needing to reboost your Sailing level.

• Released a series of new gem container options for semi-precious gems (Opal, Jade and Red Topaz) that you can level up as you progress: Gem Pouch, Gem Satchel, Gem Tote and Gem Sack.
  • Gem Pouch - Requires Level 12 Crafting. Combine Bolt of Linen, Thread and Silk to make a pouch which stores 5x Opal, Jade and Red Topaz.

Sailing Update: Buffs, Changes & More

Boat Combat

• We've mapped various solo spawns of high-level seaborne creatures, such as Vampyre Krakens, Armoured Krakens and Great White Sharks. You’ll now find isolated versions of these creatures positioned a fair distance away from the main packs. This doesn't mean we've made combat to be single-way in these areas, however, you'll now have a better time bullying them without several of them attacking you at once.
• The drop rates of Clue Scrolls from Sailing creatures are now buffed by ~5% for those who completed the Combat Achievements.

Horn of Plenty

• Toggling double catches off now correctly applies the invisible Hunter boost.
• Hunter animals that always trigger the Horn of Plenty's double catch - such as Tecu salamanders - will no longer trigger it if the double catch toggle is off.
• Toggling double catches off will no longer consume charges as if it is on and not giving double loot.
• Horn of Plenty now consumes a charge every 25 catches rather than having a 1/25 chance to consume it. Also, double catches will consume only one charge as mentioned above.
• The Horn of Plenty’s double catch effect now works with crab traps, including Red, Blue, and Rainbow crabs.

Gem Bag Expansion

• If you have a Gem Bag or a Gem Sack, you can't buy another Gem Bag from shops.
• You can't get a lower version of the gem container you own, but you can create a higher tier one using the gem container you have.
• Since Gem Sack is the highest tier, if you have a Gem Sack, you can't craft any other gem containers.
• Gems stored in the previous container are retained in the upgraded one upon crafting.

The Basics

Rules

• Your character starts in Yama's Lair with an exit to Civitas illa Fortis.
• Your character begins restricted to the area of Varlamore. As you complete tasks, you can unlock more areas. Karamja will be locked at the start of this league, but will be a forced unlocked once you reach your first area unlock, followed by three additional regions you choose yourself. Misthalin is completely inaccessible during this league.
• Full information about each of the areas can be found in the Area Selection menu. This can be accessed from the leagues menu in the Journal panel.
• All experience gained is heavily increased, and this will further increase as you unlock more relics. Exact multipliers can be viewed in the Relics menu.
• Sailing will not be enabled this league and content released during Leagues VI will be reviewed and enabled for the league on a case-by-case basis.
• Demonic Pacts offer customisable boosts to your combat power, and are earned by completing specific league tasks. Additionally, completing some tasks will grant you a limited number of Pact resets, which will allow you to reset your talent tree.
• Each area has an Echo Boss, these are enhanced bosses that pose a higher challenge and drop new unique rewards. Killing the regular boss may drop an Echo orb that lets you access the Echo variant. More information can be found in the area interfaces.
• Leagues VI: Demonic Pacts will run from April 15th until the game update on June 10th (a total of 84 days).

Changelog - April 1st

• The Perfected Quetzal Whistle has been given the same functionality as the Corrupted Bow of Faerdhinen: charging any Quetzal Whistle now contributes to the infinite Perfected Quetzal Whistle unlock.

  • West of Tree Gnome Village
  • South of Ardougne Zoo

  • Dwarven Mine crevice

• Added a 'Last Destination' right-click option to Spirit Trees, with the exception of Spiritual Fairy Trees in the POH. Selecting this option will teleport you straight to the last location you travelled to using any Spirit Tree.
• Added a toggle to the Lunar return orb so you can choose whether it immediately teleports you on left-click.

• Applied a buff to cannons when they are actively manned by a player, ensuring that a player using a cannon is on par to the DPS of traditional combat +2 Crew members using cannons.
• Reduced the HP of some sea creatures, especially for those that are smaller and lower-level, so that they are less tanky and their health is more thematically suitable.
• In relation to the changes above, Bounty Task XP has been reduced by 25% so that the position of Bounty Task within the meta is kept intact.
• Enabled ranged modifiers such as the Void Armour effect and Ranged Prayers to work in cannon combat, meaning your worn ranged gear will now correctly apply its stats to the overall damage.

• Increased the timer before a game is forcefully ended to 20 minutes, up from 16 minutes 15 seconds.
• Venom effect from the Noxious Halberd and Burn effect from the Eclipse Set are now cleared from your player character when you win a fight in Last Man Standing.
• You can now hold up to 2 Sanfew Serums in your Last Man Standing setup, rather than just 1.
• Rebalanced the points awarded, increasing them for the end of the game.
  • Increased placement points by 1 for the last 9 players standing.
  • Increased kill points by 1 for 3 kills and 5 kills.
  • This means that the new max points a player can get is now 9 points, in the case that the player places 1st (6 points) and scores 5 or more kills (3 points).

• Resolved a set of Z-buffer issues across the game:
  • Verzik Vitur no longer clips into her throne.

Remaining Getting Around Changes

Tweaking How the Perfected Quetzal Whistle Becomes Infinite

River Dougne Canoe Stations

• Near Castle Wars: Links up with the Ring of dueling and Balloon Network, and should be handy for Clue Scrolls.
• West of Tree Gnome Village: Close to the Farming patch and Spirit Tree.
• South of Ardougne Zoo: Provides easier access to central Ardougne, and also close to the Spirit Tree.
• East of Chaos Druid Tower: Improves travel to the Fishing Guild and North Ardougne.
• North of Combat Training Camp: Connects to Tree Gnome Stronghold and Barbarian Assault.

Faster Agility Shortcuts

• Stepping stone shortcuts now require just a single click to cross, rather than having to click each stone.
• Animations for certain Agility shortcuts have been shortened where they previously felt too long, so you’ll spend less time watching your character shuffle about.
• Unnecessary delays have been removed. For example, your character won’t be left standing around before crossing.

• Draynor to Port Sarim tunnel
• Falador crumbled wall
• Rocks north-west of Corsair Cove
• Kalphite Queen entrance
• Falador fence jump
• Dwarven Mine crevice
• Alchemical Hydra shortcut

Fairy Ring Favourites

Last Destination option to Spirit Trees

• The Last Destination is shared across all Spirit Trees.
• If you haven’t travelled using a Spirit Tree yet, you’ll be told there’s no destination to return to.
• If you’re already at your last destination, the game will let you know instead of teleporting you.
• This option is available on all Spirit Trees except Spiritual Fairy Tree in the Player-Owned houses. In the POH, Spirit Trees share menu space with Fairy rings, leaving no room for the Last Destination option to be added.

Lunar Return Orb

• When the toggle is enabled, left-clicking the Return Orb will teleport you to Rellekka immediately, without opening a confirmation dialogue. This will offer a quicker option for those who frequently use the orb.
• When the toggle is disabled, the Return Orb will behave exactly as it has always did, showing the confirmation dialogue before teleporting, for safeguard reasons.
• The toggle is enabled by default, but can be switched off at any time, maintaining the previous behaviour available for players who prefer the extra confirmation.

Boat Combat Tweaks

Buff to Cannons Manned by Player

Sea Creature HP

Additional fixes and adjustments:

• In relation to the changes above, we've adjusted the Bounty Task XP so that the position of Bounty Task within the meta is kept intact. As part of this, Bounty Task XP has been reduced by 25%.
• We've also tackled an issue where the player's worn gear wasn't contributing as expected to the damage calculations. We've enabled ranged modifiers such as the Void Armour effect and Ranged Prayers to work in cannon combat, meaning your worn ranged gear will now correctly apply its stats to the overall damage.

Last Man Standing QoL Tweaks

• Increased the timer before a game is forcefully ended to 20 minutes, up from 16 minutes 15 seconds.
• Venom effect from the Noxious Halberd and Burn effect from the Eclipse Set are now cleared from your player character when you win a fight in Last Man Standing.
• You can now hold up to 2 Sanfew Serums in your Last Man Standing setup, rather than just 1.
• Rebalanced the points awarded, increasing them for the end of the game.
  • Increased placement points by 1 for the last 9 players standing.
  • Increased kill points by 1 for 3 kills and 5 kills.
  • This means that the new max points a player can get is now 9 points, in the case that the player places 1st (6 points) and scores 5 or more kills (3 points).

• Replace the Dragon dagger with Dragon claws in the "Max/Med" starter kit.
• Add the Oathplate helm into the "Max/Med defensive" loot pool.
• If the "Automatically smash empty vials" option is disabled, players will keep their vials in their Inventory once a potion is fully consumed. The vials will be cleared upon killing another player.
• Adjust the default preset for players who have never played Last Man Standing before to have 3 Saradomin brews, 2 Sanfew serums and 10 sharks.
• Set the default spellbook to Ancient Magicks if the player is brand new to the Last Man Standing gear setup.
• Allow Zuriel's staff in Last Man Standing to autocast Ancient Magicks spells as well.

  • Players dying in the Bounty Hunter lobby will now be considered as skipping their target.
• Emir's Arena changes:

    • Note that these new starter kits for Pure, Zerker and Max/Med will replace your existing build.
  • Deadeye and Mystic Vigour prayers are now allowed in fights and can be used by players who meet the level requirements.

    • Attack level is increased to 75, up from 60
    • Defence level is increased to 50, up from 45
    • Prayer level is increased to 63, up from 55

• Some items that have cosmetic overrides that would typically be lost will now refund the cosmetic variant to the player on PvP death. See the list of cosmetic variants further down the blog.
• In PvP areas, if you have not attacked another player in the last 20 ticks, swapping between weapons will retain any autocast settings that have been set.
• The spawn location after leaving Venenatis, Callisto and Vet'ion have been slightly altered to place players above ground. You'll still be placed in close proximity to the escape cave entrances if you'd like to escape any PKers.
• Vet'tion will now spawn fewer Hellhounds for larger groups.
• Venenatis will now spawn slightly fewer spiderlings. It will also now only change phases every other attack if there are more than 10 players, rather than just 5.
• Dizana's Quiver and Revenant Weapons now accurately reflect your risk wealth on the Items Kept on Death UI.
• Revenants and the Revenant Maledictus will no longer invalidate Iron accounts from obtaining loot if another player attacks those NPCs. The Iron account will still only receive a drop if they are the MvP (player that dealt the most damage).
  • This change is inline with the recent adjustment to how the loot from Zombie Pirates function, as well as other existing Wilderness NPCs such as Callisto, Vet'ion and Venenatis.
• When crossing a Revenant Cave shortcut, the slight delay when arriving at the other side has been removed.
• Ranging ammunition no longer spawns on top of the Revenant Cave shortcut pillars.
• The rear entrance to the Brimhaven Dungeon, which is accessed by paying trading sticks, now will no longer null damage upon use in a PvP or Deadman world.

• On non-designated Castle Wars worlds, bandages will heal a maximum of 18 hitpoints.

• In permanent Deadman, trinkets will now break on death again. Also, the hitpoints for the breach NPCs will be restored to being significantly lower.

• Added the ability to reduce the UI scale on the Mobile client.
  • You'll find that the default value is 400%, as the Mobile Client defaults to high scale. There's also a magnification cap in place, so the interface never gets too tiny to use.
• Official Client changes:
  • To make the UI scaling interface consistent and easier to use across Mobile and desktop, we've updated it to a drop-down rather than slider. We've also added a second option, "Input", which lets you type in valid numbers from the whole range directly. To do this, you need to long-press on the scaling drop down if on mobile, or right-click on desktop and select the "input" option.
    • Desktop users should find their defaults retained, as this is saved per client. If you do see a change however, you can still reset the scaling to the default value by pressing the reset interface scaling button.
• Added separate “Max Foreground FPS” and “Max Background FPS” settings, allowing the game to run at a lower frame rate while not in focus.

• In preparation for the upcoming game worlds based in Brazil, we've added a new filtering option to the Configure World Switcher menu today. We'll keep you updated when we have more information to share on these game worlds.

• Enemy attacks will no longer interrupt most Captain actions, so you can continue to use interfaces or other menus without them forcibly closing.

• The God Wars dungeon to Wilderness shortcut is now correctly shown as being one way on the world map.
• Drops in the Sarachnis instance now last longer on the ground before disappearing.
• Removed the 'Disable Cancel' option from the Minimenu Filtering settings. In certain situations this setting could prevent players from cancelling actions (such as casting spells), leaving them stuck. Any players who previously had this option enabled will have it automatically turned off.
• Fixed an issue where players with Deadman Protection could still attack Breach NPCs in certain situations. Previously, players could bypass protection rules by manually casting spells (such as Wind Strike) on Breach monsters. This allowed players to attack NPCs even while their protection timer was active. Players in Deadman under protection can now no longer attack Breach NPCs anywhere, whether the area is single or multi combat. Once protection expires, Breach NPCs can be attacked normally. In the tournament version of Deadman, players under protection will not be able to attack NPCs in multi-way combat but can in single-way.
• Fixed a graphical issue with Crystal Pants in Deadman worlds.
• A spelling error has been fixed in the new minigame teleport menu, and the alphabetical order of its buttons has been corrected.
• Fixed an issue where 'Sinister Offering' was missing from the Arceuus Spellbook when spell filtering was disabled.
• Fixed an issue with the Wilderness Player-Owned House theme where terrain incorrectly blocked the stairwell opening, preventing the dungeon level from being visible.
• Fixed an issue where attempting to assemble a Dwarf Multicannon without all the required parts could incorrectly display a message stating that your cannon had decayed and should be reclaimed from Nulodion.
• Adjusted the display value of Sun-kissed bones for clan loot broadcasts and similar messages to a more appropriate value.
• Fixed an issue where defeating Demonic Brutus with thrall damage during certain special attacks could cause the fight to stall between phases.
• Fixed an issue where Ultimate Iron players who died during the Abomination fight in A Taste of Hope could lose their items due to their death pile spawning in an inaccessible location.

• Around the launch of Sailing, we mentioned that the Keg of Whirlpool Surprise gives an invisible +2 Sailing bonus. However, after a brief investigation, this buff was not applying correctly. This has now been fixed.
• Players can now use a filled fish crate on a bank booth, banker, or bank chest to empty the fish into their inventory. This works the same as using the "Empty" option on the crate.
• We've also reduced interruptions while your ship is under attack. Previously, whenever your boat was hit by an enemy, it would interrupt the Captain, closing interfaces like the cargo hold, and disrupting any actions they were performing, such as looting. This is particularly frustrating when you are engaging directly in combat. Now enemy attacks will not interrupt most Captain actions, so you can continue to use interfaces or other menus without them forcibly closing. However, you still won't be able to log out or world hop while your boat is in danger. Attempting to do so will give you a warning message until your boat is in a safer place.
• Last week, we fixed an animation bug with crew which accidentally added an animation delay to the player character hook animation, making 1.5 tick shipwreck salvaging feel sluggish. This has been fixed so that it is possible to 1.5 tick salvage again, and the animations adjusted accordingly.
• We've also fixed an issue where the message shown when attempting to create Adamant keel parts incorrectly stated the required Smithing level.

Changelog - February 18th

• This year marks 25 years of RuneScape and 13 years of Old School, bringing the perfect opportunity for a brand-new anniversary event!
• Start the event by talking to the Apprentice Wizard Gary Grayzag in southern Varrock, and help him open a portal to the Realm of Memories, a place where you can see and fight versions of creatures from the history of RuneScape. Think you've been there before? Well, there are more memories now - including the retro Kalphite Queen in her 2004-style glory!
• New rewards, inspired by Tim & Crunchy and by the event itself, await those who complete the event:
  • 25th Anniversary Helmet
  • 25th Anniversary Skeleton Tabard
  • 25th Anniversary Warrior Tabard
  • 25th Anniversary 5x5 Hat
• Plus, mark your calendars for our upcoming Anniversary Livestream on February 27th 16:00 UTC, where we'll be joined by MMORPG, Zecookies and Megan!

• To complete the “Have Prissy Scilla protect your Magic tree” task in the Western Province Diary, you can now pay Prissy Scilla to protect the tree.
• Summoned thralls via the spellbook will now last twice as long if you have the Sigil of the Augmented Thrall unlocked.
• Deadman Chests for Artio/Callisto, Calvarion/Vetion, Spindel/Venenatis now spawn outside of their cave entrance, allowing you to attempt to loot the chests without constantly being attacked by the bosses.
• The Trinket of Avarice will now also loot bones from NPCs automatically.
• Your noted items will now stack as intended even if your Looting Bag is full when you have the Trinket of Avarice active.
• The risk calculation when attempting to enter a raids area is now based on high alch value, instead of grand exchange value. Accordingly, the required value has also been lowered to 500,000 GP from 800,000.
• Since parts of the Ruins of Unkah breach occur in a safe zone, the location has been removed.
• Breach NPCs will no longer spawn on water.
• The Deadman skull countdown timer for the 2am breach now shows the remaining time left correctly.

• The current restrictions for UIMs on the Cargo hold have been removed. UIMs will be able to use the Cargo Hold like regular Ironmen - no more limited capacity!
• We’d love your feedback! Should the colours of Steel and Iron cannonballs be swapped to better match their appearance elsewhere in-game, and should the same change also apply to Steel and Iron nails? Share your thoughts in the comments on the dedicated update post across our social media platforms.

• We've made some feedback changes to the music system improvements from last week:

Changelog - February 11th

• Audio Slider: The volume sliders in the settings menu will now actually slide whenever you want to adjust the volume.
• Area Mode: We’ve now expanded the modern music Area Mode across the entire game, using natural scenery like walls and cliffs for smoother instead of perfectly square areas, resulting in more natural and atmospheric music transitions between locations.
• Custom music playlists: You can now make up to three custom playlists of your own. Just pick any music tracks you’ve unlocked in-game, right-click them, and add them to a playlist.
• The random music mode is updated to a true shuffle.
• Added a host of new settings to help refine your music experience. You can now:
  • Enable remembering the last music mode on login rather than always reverting to Area Mode
  • Choose a default track to play when entering an area in Area Mode
  • Automatically update music when switching between playlists
  • Pick which music mode is used when manually selecting tracks
  • Hide locked or unlocked tracks in playlists
  • Change the colours of locked and unlocked tracks in playlists

• The Trinket of Fortuity's teleport timer can no longer be bypassed if you place it in your looting bag.
• Only the 7-second teleport timer will apply if you have a Trinket of Fortuity active on you, meaning you no longer have to also wait for the out-of-combat timer too.
• The Emblem Trader will now roam in the multi-area of the Revenant Caves without any issues, so you can hand in your Emblems without needing to high alch them.

• Your autocast settings will now be remembered in Permanent Deadman, just as they are in Deadman: Annihilation. This means that if you haven’t attacked a player for 20 seconds, your staff’s autocast setting will remain even after switching to another weapon and back again.
• The bank chest found inside the Chambers of Xeric raid can no longer be used in Permanent Deadman.

• We've focused on strengthening and future-proofing the combat infrastructure for upcoming major releases like Leagues VI, The Blood Moon Rises and The Fractured Archive. This will help ensure these combat-heavy updates integrate well with the engine, and are implemented smoothly for launch. If you come across any bugs or unusual behaviours, please let us know - we'll be keeping an eye of your feedback!

• If you’re on a boss-specific Slayer task, you can now enter the lair of that specific Wilderness boss without meeting the diary requirements. Note that this won’t work for generic Slayer tasks, it has to be for that specific boss.

Changelog - February 4th

• Fixed a bug where the Deadman's Chests were taking longer to open than they should in both Single- and Multi-way combat areas.
• Removed the limit on Starter Kit reclaims for non-PvP deaths. You can now receive an unlimited amount of Starter Kits from the Combat Tutors in Lumbridge, or Burger Brunsen at the Grand Exchange.
  • We're also converting the Chronicle pages you'd receive into charges already stored in the Chronicle.
• Reduced the strength of Zemouregal’s summons from 300 to 150.
• Adjusted the number of Deadman: Annihilation worlds per bracket to better match player demand. You can see the details further down the blog.

• The descriptions for the Sigil of Nature and Enhanced Harvest have been updated to make clear that they don't work at Tithe Farm.

• Guards no longer spawn in the Unkah area.

• Gryphon tasks are more common. See further down the blog for the details.
• Introduced an optional task extension for 50 Slayer points: Gryphon and on. This adds a flat +80 kills to the task you're assigned, making the Gryphon tasks more impactful once you get them.
• Belle's Folly is now more common, dropping at a rate of 1/256 instead of 1/400.
• Shellbane Gryphon Combat Achievements are here! Check out the details further down in the blog.
• Facility Bottles are now purchasable from Shipwright Seb for 75,000 GP each.
  • They're also now more common across their existing salvaging sources.
  • Additionally, we've added Facility Bottles to the loot table of Opulent Salvage from Merchant Shipwrecks.
• Added the new logs from Sailing (which are Camphor, Ironwood and Rosewood logs) to the loot tables of the salvage from the Mercenary and Fremennik shipwrecks.
• You can now hunt Red Salamanders on Charred Island without any issues.

• Eluned will now recharge Teleport Crystals regardless of how many charges they currently have. Note that this will still cost the full amount, even though it may not be charging from empty to full.
  • Teleport Crystals now recharge up to 3 charges by default, or 5 charges if you’ve completed the Western Provinces Hard Diary.
• Using a charged Quetzal Whistle now opens the Quetzal Transport interface immediately.
  • You can select your destination directly, provided it’s unlocked.
  • Added a 'Last Destination' option, teleporting you to the last travelled Quetzal site if there's one, allowing for quick repeat travel.
  • You can toggle whether the whistle sends you straight to the Hunter Guild or opens the destination selection menu, which is on by default.
• Improved the level progression of Spirit Trees by spreading them more evenly across Farming levels, as follows:
  • Level 83: 1 Spirit Tree
  • Level 88: 2 Spirit Trees
  • Level 93: 3 Spirit Trees
  • Level 96: 4 Spirit Trees
  • Level 99: Unlimited Spirit Trees
• The Red and Blue Rum from Trouble Brewing are now tradeable.
• NPC spawns in the Fight Pits minigame now escalate over time, including Magers and Jads in later stages, with improved roaming behaviour and more frequent target switching.
• Re-introduce the item's GP value shown when broadcasting raid uniques, and removed broadcasts for duplicate Thread of Elidinis or Tombs of Amascut gems.

• The 'Empty Containers' button now also empties worn containers, meaning equipped items can be emptied straight into the bank. These worn containers are:
  • Log Basket
  • Fish Sack Barrel
  • Forestry Basket

• Fixed the following models from clipping into the ground:

  • The death animation of the Fever Spider

Other Deadman: Annihilation Tweaks

• We’ve slightly reduced the damage dealt by the Yama boulder across all brackets. In the 3-60 bracket specifically, the boulder’s damage will now max between 20 and 30, while in all other brackets it will max between 30-60.

Sailing Updates

Gryphon Task Weight Improvements

Shellbane Gryphon Combat Achievements

Facility Bottles Tweaks

• Facility Bottles are now purchasable from Shipwright Seb for 75,000 GP each.
  • This means that you don't have to engage in Shipwreck Salvaging to move your facilities if you would prefer to purchase them outright, however, it comes with a cost.
  • Note that purchasing them via Shipwright Seb will not unlock the collection log entry, as we don't want to encourage 'buyable' collection log items. We're aware there are places in game that allow this, but it's a direction we'd like to steer away from.
• They're also now more common across their existing salvaging sources so that they're likely to drop more frequently.
• Additionally, we've added Facility Bottles to the loot table of Opulent Salvage from Merchant Shipwrecks, so that you don't have to engage in only lower-levelled salvaging in order to obtain them.

Other Sailing Changes

• Added the new logs from Sailing (which are Camphor, Ironwood and Rosewood logs) to the loot tables of the salvage from the Mercenary and Fremennik shipwrecks.
• You can now hunt Red Salamanders on Charred Island without any issues.

Getting Around Poll Changes

Recharge Partially Charged Teleport Crystals

Quetzal Whistle Improvements

• Using a charged Quetzal Whistle now opens the Quetzal Transport interface immediately.
• You can select your destination directly, provided it’s unlocked.
• Added a 'Last Destination' option, teleporting you to the last travelled Quetzal site if there's one, allowing for quick repeat travel.
• You can toggle whether the whistle sends you straight to the Hunter Guild or opens the destination selection menu, which is on by default.

• Level 83: 1 Spirit Tree
• Level 88: 2 Spirit Trees
• Level 93: 3 Spirit Trees
• Level 96: 4 Spirit Trees
• Level 99: Unlimited Spirit Trees

Tradeable Trouble Brewing Rum Teleports

• You can buy them from other players or via the Grand Exchange.
• Players who regularly play Trouble Brewing could sell spare Red and Blue rum from the rewards shop of the minigame.

• 1.5 minutes: Tz-Kih (Bats)
• 3.5 minutes: Tz-Kek (Blobs)
• 5.5 minutes: Tok-Xil (Rangers)
• 7.5 minutes: Ket-Zek (Magers)
• 9.5 minutes: TzTok-Jad (Jad)

Changelog - January 28th

• Deadman: Annihilation will drop this Friday, January the 30th, at 17:00 UTC!
• Reminder: if you have a permanent Deadman character on world 345, you'll need to reset its progress at Nigel in Lumbridge Graveyard to use that same character for Deadman: Annihilation.
• Here's a quick breakdown of what you can expect:
  • Earn Deadman Points through just about any activity you can think of: PvM, Skilling, completing Quests, completing Achievement Diaries/Combat Achievements, completing Clue scrolls... Then trade those points for exclusive (tradeable) cosmetics in the main game including the Wilderness POH Kit, a new Home teleport animation, and recolours for the Toxic Staff of the Dead, Bow of Faerdhinen and Crystal Armour!
  • Bank keys are no more! You'll only risk what you've got on you, but there's no use hiding expensive gear in your inventory because your risked wealth will be symbolised by coloured skulls above your character, similar to Bounty Hunter.
  • While killing NPCs, you might stumble across a Deadman's Chest as a rare drop. This chest takes 60 seconds (30 seconds in multi-combat) to open, so you'll need to stand your ground to claim your treasure, but stand to be handsomely rewarded with powerful items - including tweaked versions of the Dogsword and the Thunder Khopesh.
  • Sigils are no longer RNG drops to be bought and sold on the Grand Exchange. Instead, use the Deadman's Skull to pull up a shop UI where you can spend your hard-earned Deadman points to buy whichever Sigils you'd like.
  • Non-combat Sigils no longer require attuning, meaning you can unlock them with points and enjoy their benefits forever, regardless of your setup.
  • The Ruinous Powers are back! Take the forbidden knowledge of the Fallen Empire for a test drive as you put this all-out offense Prayer book to use against other players in fast-paced PvP combat.
  • Combat bracket worlds are making a return with revamped level ranges to keep worlds active while letting you play any build you'd like and always find a fair fight!
  • Breaches are sticking around, with new bosses, adjustments to existing bosses, readjusted loot rarity and more. Find consistent action at set times while you try to earn powerful items, rack up Deadman points, or perhaps just pick off the lucky players getting all of the cool breach drops...
    • Breaches will start at: 2am UTC, 10am UTC, 7pm UTC
    • Remember: if you still have PvP Protection, you can do damage to Breach NPCs at single-combat breaches, but you can't do damage to Breach NPCs at multi-combat breaches.
  • Experience full-on carnage in a revamped multi-combat Finale, which sees competitors split into two factions for a time before the remaining players are left to fight amongst themselves in a free for all.

• Introducing: Facility Bottles!
  • By using Facility Bottles, you can now store your facilities as an object that goes to your inventory.
  • You can then use the bottled-up facility to build its contents at any other suitable hotspot on board!
  • Facility Bottles can be found in various types of salvage such as Large, Pirate, Mercenary and Fremennik shipwreck salvages.

• After consulting the community for feedback on the bank interface, we've now tweaked the Bank UI, featuring a new 'Empty Containers' button!
  • Clicking this button will empty any containers from your inventory. Essence pouches, Coal bags, Herb sacks, Meat pouches, Log baskets, Reagent pouches, Fish barrels, Plank sacks, Fur pouches and even Looting bags - all of them emptied in an instant!
• Opted for diagrams instead of text, unifying the UI by reducing the blend of 'old' text (e.g. Swap/Insert, Note) and 'modern' images (e.g. Search, Placeholders, Deposit Inventory).
• The 'quantity' buttons have been sized up a little, which should be a nice helping hand for mobile players.
• To make space, the 'View worn items' button has been shifted to the top right, and we've moved some features to the left-hand side. If toggled on, the Incinerator will appear on the left-hand side, which is also where Potion Storage and the Group Storage (for Group Iron players) are housed. Players who have both Group Storage and Potion Storage available can collapse them using the drop-down arrow shown in the screenshot above, which should help them see a handful of extra Bank Tag Tabs if they have any set up via third-party clients like RuneLite!
• The unfortunate piece of news here is that we're not yet at a point where we can configure what you deposit via custom toggles, as we mentioned in the poll question, but will revisit this feature if we feel able to confidently deliver this in the future.
• All of the above UI elements are plugged into the bank tutorial too, which sits at the top left to prevent you from misclicking it quite as much while you're trying to close the bank. If you run into any problems or have any feedback for us then make sure to let us know, even if you're a UIM and aren't really sure what all of this means!
• Coffins from the Shades of Mort'ton minigame now have a right-click "Empty" option while you're in the banking interface. Note that this coffin is excluded from the "Empty Containers" button we spoke about above, since players tend to want to keep their shade remains in here rather than the bank.
  • Clicking the "Empty" option deposits all Shade remains in the Coffin into your bank, as long as there's enough bank space for them.
  • If there isn't enough bank space for all Shade remains, as many remains as possible will be deposited.

• Devout Boots can now be dismantled back into Holy Sandals, giving Irons a way to create Holy Moleys without starting the grind over, if they wish to!
• The Holy Moleys icon is now correctly centered in the Worn Equipment interface.
• We've made various Wilderness adjustments to combat unscrupulous sorts and give those playing by the rules a fairer experience:
  • Entering the lairs of Callisto, Venenatis and Vet'ion now requires completion of the Medium Wilderness Diary. If you're no longer eligible to complete an existing Slayer task targeting those bosses, speak to a Slayer Master to get a new assignment. This does not reset your streak.
  • Entering the lairs of Artio, Spindel and Calvar'ion now requires completion of the Hard Wilderness Diary, instead of the Medium Wilderness Diary.
  • Irons are now eligible for loot from Undead Pirates even if another player has damaged them, but the loot obtained will be proportional to the damage dealt. This number always rounds down, meaning alchables that drop as a single item won't appear, but things like runes, coins or blighted supplies will still drop.
  • Chests at the Rogues Castle now provide no loot without completion of the Medium Wilderness Diary. The existing behaviour is that the loot scales down for players without this diary completed, but it's still too strong for how easily accessible it is. You'll still receive XP from the chests even if you're not eligible for loot.
• The floor mural and the tiles at the Gauntlet now render in the correct order.
• Razmire's Building Supplies Shop is now completely separate for Irons and Mains.
• Fixed a bug where the Oddskull couldn't be picked up by the opposing team after it's dropped on the ground in Clan Wars.
• Added Monkey Bars in the Yanille Dungeon which requires Level 57 Agility to the Agility skill guide.
• The Monkey Bars under Edgeville that require Level 15 Agility now have the correct icon instead of a jump one.

• Earn Deadman Points through just about any activity you can think of: PvM, Skilling, completing Quests, completing Achievement Diaries/Combat Achievements, completing Clue scrolls, you name it! Then trade those points for exclusive (tradeable) cosmetics in the main game including the Wilderness POH Kit, a new Home teleport animation, and recolours for the Toxic Staff of the Dead, Bow of Faerdhinen and Crystal Armour!
• Bank keys are no more! This time around, you'll only risk what you've got on you, but there's no use hiding expensive gear in your inventory because your risked wealth will be symbolised by coloured skulls above your character, similar to Bounty Hunter.
• While killing NPCs, you might stumble across a Deadman's Chest as a rare drop. This chest takes 60 seconds (30 seconds in multi-combat) to open, so you'll need to stand your ground to claim your treasure, but stand to be handsomely rewarded with powerful items - including tweaked versions of the Dogsword and the Thunder Khopesh.
• Sigils are no longer RNG drops to be bought and sold on the Grand Exchange. Instead, use the Deadman's Skull to pull up a shop UI where you can spend your hard-earned Deadman points to buy whichever Sigils you'd like.
• Non-combat Sigils no longer require attuning, meaning you can unlock them with points and enjoy their benefits forever, regardless of your setup. This means you're free to rock your chosen Combat Sigils at all times and shouldn't ever be massively disadvantaged for a fight.
• The Ruinous Powers are back! Take the forbidden knowledge of the Fallen Empire for a test drive as you put this all-out offense Prayer book to use against other players in fast-paced PvP combat.
• Combat bracket worlds are making a return with revamped level ranges to keep worlds active while letting you play any build you'd like and always find a fair fight!
• Breaches are sticking around, with new bosses, adjustments to existing bosses, readjusted loot rarity and more. Find consistent action at set times while you try to earn powerful items, rack up Deadman points, or perhaps just pick off the lucky players getting all of the cool breach drops...
  • Breaches will start at: 2am UTC, 10am UTC, 7pm UTC
  • Remember: if you still have PvP Protection, you can do damage to Breach NPCs at single-combat breaches, but you can't do damage to Breach NPCs at multi-combat breaches.
• Experience full-on carnage in a revamped multi-combat Finale, which sees competitors split into two factions for a time before the remaining players are left to fight amongst themselves in a free for all - can your alliances be trusted?

• If you have a permanent Deadman character on world 345, you'll need to reset its progress at Nigel in Lumbridge to use that same character for Deadman: Annihilation.
• At the end of Deadman: Annihilation, your character will be transferred to world 345 so that you can use it in permanent Deadman if you'd like. None of your tradeable items will carry over (with more checks in place to prevent loopholes from last time), nor will any untradeable items that can be converted into tradeable items (e.g. Barrows gloves for coins or God books for pages). Instead, you'll keep all of your Skills progression and be given 12 hours of protection on world 345 which you can use to get yourself geared up without interruption, if you'd like to carry on playing on the permanent Deadman world.

Move Your Built-in Facilities Around in Your Boat

Bank UI Changes & 'Empty Containers' Button

• Clicking the "Empty" option deposits all Shade remains in the Coffin into your bank, as long as there's enough bank space for them.
• If there isn't enough bank space for all Shade remains, as many remains as possible will be deposited.

Other Changes

• Last week, a community favourite made its way into the game: Holy Moleys. One frustration for Ironman players who’d already upgraded to Devout Boots was needing to regrind Holy Sandals to make them. To address this, Devout Boots can now be dismantled back into Holy Sandals, giving Irons a way to create Holy Moleys without starting the grind over, if they wish to!
• On that note, the Holy Moleys icon is now correctly centered in the Worn Equipment interface.
• We've made various Wilderness adjustments to combat unscrupulous sorts and give those playing by the rules a fairer experience:
  • Entering the lairs of Callisto, Venenatis and Vet'ion now requires completion of the Medium Wilderness Diary. If you're no longer eligible to complete an existing Slayer task targeting those bosses, speak to a Slayer Master to get a new assignment. This does not reset your streak.
  • Entering the lairs of Artio, Spindel and Calvar'ion now requires completion of the Hard Wilderness Diary, instead of the Medium Wilderness Diary.
  • Irons are now eligible for loot from Undead Pirates even if another player has damaged them, but the loot obtained will be proportional to the damage dealt. This number always rounds down, meaning alchables that drop as a single item won't appear, but things like runes, coins or blighted supplies will still drop.
  • Chests at the Rogues Castle now provide no loot without completion of the Medium Wilderness Diary. The existing behaviour is that the loot scales down for players without this diary completed, but it's still too strong for how easily accessible it is. You'll still receive XP from the chests even if you're not eligible for loot.
• The floor mural and the tiles at the Gauntlet now render in the correct order.
• Razmire's Building Supplies Shop is now completely separate for Irons and Mains.
• Fixed a bug where the Oddskull couldn't be picked up by the opposing team after it's dropped on the ground in Clan Wars.
• Added Monkey Bars in the Yanille Dungeon which requires Level 57 Agility to the Agility skill guide.
• The Monkey Bars under Edgeville that requires Level 15 Agility now have the correct icon instead of a jump one.

Changelog - January 21st

• You can now combine the Holy Sandals and Mole Slippers into Holy Moleys!
  • With the Holy Sandals and Mole Slippers in your inventory, visit Wyson in Falador Park and speak to him to combine them.
• You can now combine the Slayer Skillcape Hood and the Slayer Helmet or Slayer Helmet (i) into the Hooded Slayer Helmet!
  • Visit any Slayer Master to unlock the Absolutely Slayin' option at the Slayer Rewards Shop for 1,000 points.

• Last Wednesday, we hotfixed an issue where storing a Rosewood Blowpipe in the Brittle Isle STASH unit could delete the darts it was loaded with, and any lost darts were returned to impacted accounts. As a result of this initial fix, you could only store an empty Rosewood Blowpipe in that STASH unit. This week, we've deployed a coldfix so that you can store the Rosewood Blowpipe with darts loaded once again. Apologies for the inconvenience this has caused and thank you for bearing with us in the meantime!
• Increased the capacity of the Seed Vault up to 104, giving you room to store the new seeds, saplings and corals added with Sailing.
• The Humidify spell now works on the new seeds from Sailing as well, which are Camphor, Ironwood and Rosewood seeds.
• The Red Reef - a planned future quest for Sailing that passed the poll - no longer shows up in the new-style Skill Guide interface.
• Lost crates that are occasionally found at sea will now update the Collection Log if they give you something cloggable, such as the Dragon Sword.

• Stockpiling charms now apply to a wider variety of activities, including:
  • Wintertodt
  • Tempoross
  • Guardians of the Rift
  • Golden nuggets from Motherlode Mine
  • Pizazz points
  • Tithe Farm
  • Barbarian Assault
  • Brimhaven Agility
  • Giants' Foundry
  • Hallowed Sepulchre
  • Chompy Bird hunting
• The Emblem Trader now sells various Deadman: Annihilation Quest lamps that can be used to automatically complete a number of Quest storylines.
• Godwars KC will no longer be reset when leaving.
• Kylie Minnow's fishing platform now has an entry fee of 100,000 GP, to try and add some risk that discourages would-be botters.
• Two new uniques have been added to breaches, the Trinket of Avarice and the Trinket of Fortuity.
• The PJ timer has been updated to match the Deadman: Annihilation PJ timer of 24 ticks.

• As part of our ongoing efforts to reduce illicit activity such as botting, the Legacy Java Client will be discontinued as a stand-alone option, starting next Wednesday, January 28th. This will also allow us to better focus on improving the Official Client.
• This won’t affect players using third-party clients like RuneLite or HDOS.

• The Winter Summit is landing this Sunday, January 25th where you'll be able to see what's in store for Old School in 2026! Tune into the livestream at 20:00 UTC/GMT (15:00 ET / 12:00 PT / 07:00 AET) over on the official OSRS Twitch channel at twitch.tv/oldschoolrs
• Just before the Winter Summit starts, we've got something new and extremely exciting for you... Deadman: Factions! Get ready for a God Wars themed, chaotic 4-hour long event in collaboration with Solo Mission, where over 100 creators are participating!

• Corrected a mistake in the Skill Interactions section of the Smithing Skill Guide interface.
• In the Official Client, the toggle for 'Highlight poll booths' now remembers your preference over logout.
• Some of the Varlamorian wildlife NPCs were not ready to let go of festive vibes just yet. This week, they decided the time for festive hats was over... for now.
• Fixed a bug where players could float above some stairs in Buccaneers' Haven.

Holy Moley, Hooded Slayer Helm is Here!

Absolutely Slayin': The Hooded Slayer Helmet

• You must have 99 Slayer (boosting won’t work).
• The upgrade is purely cosmetic:
  • No stat changes.
  • No extra effects.
• The imbued effects of the Slayer Helmet (i) are fully supported once combined, remaining active on the Hooded Slayer Helmet too.
• It isn't possible to combine item cosmetic variants directly (such as the Araxyte or Black Slayer Helmet). These must first be dismantled back into the base Slayer Helmet, or Slayer Helmet (i) before combining with the Skillcape hood.
• The Hooded Slayer Helmet will always use the base grey Slayer helmet appearance, regardless of whether the Slayer Helmet used to combine it had a Combat Achievement reward cosmetic applied previously - for example, a Tzkal Slayer Helmet.
• The Hooded Slayer Helmet can be dismantled at any time, by right-clicking on it in the inventory and selecting the 'dismantle' option. This will return the Slayer helmet or Slayer helmet (i) and the Skillcape hood.

Holy Moleys

• +3 Prayer bonus and 31 Prayer requirement.
• Counting as a Saradomin item (useful for God Wars Dungeon).

• They are untradeable, but fully reversible - which means Holy Moleys can be dismantled at any time, returning both original items so they can be traded again. You can dismantle them by right-clicking on Holy Moleys in your inventory and choosing the specific option.
• Devout Boots are not compatible to create Holy Moleys. However, players are now able to dismantle Devout Boots back into Holy Sandals, giving Ironman players a way to create Holy Moleys without regrinding, if they wish to!
• If you die in PvP while wearing Holy Moleys, they will be split back into Holy Sandals and Mole Slippers and be dropped accordingly.

Sailing Fixes & Tweaks

• Last week, some eagle-eyed players spotted that The Red Reef - a planned future quest for Sailing that passed the poll - sneakily slipped into the Quest XP tab of the new-style Skill Guide interface. This has now been corrected - until the quest resurfaces when it's time for its release.
• Lost crates that are occasionally found at sea will now update the Collection Log if they give you something cloggable, such as the Dragon Sword.

Permanent Deadman Changes

• Stockpiling charms now apply to a wider variety of activities, including:
  • Wintertodt
  • Tempoross
  • Guardians of the Rift
  • Golden nuggets from Motherlode Mine
  • Pizazz points
  • Tithe Farm
  • Barbarian Assault
  • Brimhaven Agility
  • Giants' Foundry
  • Hallowed Sepulchre
  • Chompy Bird hunting
• The Emblem Trader now sells various Quest lamps that can be used to automatically complete a number of Quest storylines. These are the same lamps as will be available in Deadman: Annihilation. Note that completing Quests in this fashion will not grant you their XP rewards, so make sure not to complete anything that you'd like that juicy XP drop from!
• Godwars KC will no longer be reset when leaving.
• Kylie Minnow's fishing platform now has an entry fee of 100,000 GP, to try and add some risk that discourages would-be botters.
• Two new uniques have been added to breaches, the Trinket of Avarice and the Trinket of Fortuity. The Trinket of Avarice will automatically pick up loot for you, while the Trinket or Fortuity can be charged with 50,000,000 GP (lost to your killer on death) to add an extra +100% drop rate multiplier to bosses - this means if you have a 6x drop rate then you'll see it boosted to 7x, for example.
• The PJ timer has been updated to match the Deadman: Annihilation PJ timer of 24 ticks.

Changelog - January 14th

• We've updated the dialogue of some older early-game quests to better explain what's expected of new players, pointing them to the right direction more clearly.
• Likewise, we've improved the the detail of Quest Journal entries for some of the older early-game quests, offering clearer in-game guidance.
• New-style Skill Guides: We've given the Skill Guides a tune-up and added beginner-friendly "Overview" sections to them, explaining what each skill is, how to train it, how it connects to other skills, and which quests are relevant.

• Speed boosts from trimming the sails should now have the same duration whether performed by a crewmate or the player, as dictated by the sail and mast type.
• You can now store the outfit cosmetics from Barracuda Trials in the Magic Wardrobe of the POH. These outfits are:
  • Storm Cruiser's Outfit
  • Swamp Cruiser's Outfit
  • Crystal Glider's Outfit
• The Horn of Plenty and Gryphon Feathers can now be put in a Huntsman's Kit.
• To make running Port Tasks smoother, we've made the first left-click option on Cargo Holds to be "Deposit-held" if you're carrying a cargo.

• POH butlers can now correctly repeat their last Sawmill task when making Ironwood, Camphor, and Rosewood planks.
• Players can no longer train combat beyond level 3 on Tutorial Island by shooting seaborne NPCs added for Sailing.

• To improve performance and stability and ensure everything continues to run smoothly, our engineers must keep our systems up to date and well-maintained. With Old School RuneScape players spread all over the world, we'd like your input on when you’d prefer this maintenance to take place. Therefore, a Maintenance Opinion Poll is live in-game until Monday - make sure to share your thoughts on what timing works best for you before the poll closes!

• As technology continues to advance, we’ve recently reviewed Old School RuneScape’s recommended system requirements. Further down the blog, you’ll find the updated recommended specifications for running Old School RuneScape's Official Client on Windows, macOS and mobile.

• Reverted an efficiency change we've done last week, stopping several NPC scripts when no players were nearby, after it caused unintended behaviour in certain scenarios. This change is reverted for the following NPCs:
  • Kruk's dungeon monkeys
  • Thermy and smoke devils
  • Light creatures near Juna
  • Most hunter creatures, including chinchompas
  • Mor-Ul-Rek Tzhaars
  • Ogress Shamans
• Fixed invisibility issues occuring when using Eye of Ayak:
  • In Tombs of Amacut, Akkha and his shadows no longer disappear after getting hit by Eye of Ayak.
  • Likewise, the player character no longer disappears after dealing damage to Yama using Eye of Ayak.
• Resolved some Z-buffering graphical bugs for the following:
  • Waterfalls no longer have clipping issues
  • Mounted Dragon head no longer clips into the wall of Wizard Traiborn's room at Wizards' Tower

  • Karamja Hard Diary reward lamp can now only be used on skills that meet the level 40 requirement
  • Karamja Medium Diary reward lamp can now only be used on skills that meet the level 30 requirement

Changelog - January 7th

• Previously, some facilities had different requirements on different types of boats. We've corrected these facility requirements to be consistent across the board. For example:
  • Linen trawling nets now all require level 65 Sailing to build and use on any boat.
  • Hemp trawling nets now all require level 76 Sailing and 65 Construction to build and use on any boat.
• Players now require a Sailing level to trim sails, which is the same level required as to build the sail.
• Crewmates now operate facilities such as the helm, trawler net and salvaging hook only if the player has the required level for them - not based on crewmate stats.
• Resolved an issue where weeds would be shown on the Anglers' Retreat island's hardwood tree patch, when the rosewood tree was growing on it.
• Likewise, resolved an issue where players couldn't summon their boat after opening and exiting the "Replace" menu on the Teleport Focus.

• If you receive multiple drops from sea creatures and don’t have enough inventory space, any excess items will now be dropped on the floor.

• To easily differentiate the functional Slayer unlocks and cosmetic Slayer rewards, we’ve updated the Slayer Rewards Interface with an additional tab. Now, all cosmetic Slayer rewards live in their own dedicated Cosmetics tab, including Slayer helm recolours. Whereas functional Slayer unlocks will remain Unlocks tab.

• With the festive season now behind us, the Christmas 2025 Event has been removed from the game.
• The special attack of Burning Claws now applies the burn to Olm's melee hand in Chambers of Xeric.
• Added Leagues V: Raging Echoes Top 100 rankings to the League Accomplishment Scroll in POH.
• Watson's notice board now lists the three STASH units added with Sailing.
• The quest can now proceed if an NPC deals the final blow on Gadderanks during In Aid of the Myreque, instead of the player doing it.
• Soulreaper Axe special attack and Moth Mixes will no longer heal the player if they are at 0 HP.
• Fixed a bug where Monster Inspect was marked as a members-only spell in the spellbook interface even though it is available to non-members.
• The extended Metal Dragons Slayer task now correctly requires 150–200 kills instead of 90–120.
• Updated the clue helper box to show the missing information for certain clue scrolls:
  • The NPC the player needs to talk to is now displayed for the Mus Kil Reader master clue scroll: Radimus Erkle.
  • The solution is now shown for the EEK ZERO OP medium scroll.
• Fixed a bunch of graphical issues:
  • The cursed banana animation no longer causes glitching if Ahrim's Robe Top and Mystic Robe Skirt are equipped.
  • Prospector and Golden Prospector outfits have had a tidy-up, so that all pieces line up well together on both body types.
  • Chatheads with Guild Hunter headwear no longer glitch and display the player character's hair style correctly.
  • Fixed clipping issues for wall signs and portraits in the Quest Hall of the POH, as well as the Mounted Digsite Pendant and the Mounted Amulet of Glory.
• The formal garden layout in the Hosidius house style has had its unusually shaggy grass trimmed back a bit, making it look about as formal as the versions for other house styles.
• When another clan member completes a combat task, you can now correctly view the completed task in the chatbox and open the Combat Task interface via right-clicking the notification.
• Some debug text that sneakily lingered has now been removed from the new menu system.

Changelog - December 17th

• In the Gwenith Glide, if your boat is hit by Resonance Crystals while you’re off the Helm, you can now get back on it shortly after breaking the crystal, instead of being locked out.
• Rune and Dragon Helms now have increased Resonance Crystal resistance, meaning fewer clicks for removing crystals at higher tiers.
• In the Gwenith Glide, the speed boost now fully resets when a trial starts, so the speed boost from removing the crystals from the Crystal Helm can no longer be carried over to the next trial.
• Fixed an issue in the Gwenith Glide where leaving the crystal’s teleport area just before the teleport occured could sometimes stop you from using your next teleport.
• Your boat can no longer get stuck on the Scoreboard buoy during Barracuda Trial 1.
• Barracuda Trials now finish when you sail away, meaning you can only start a trial when close by.
• The Shellbane Gryphon now respawns every 12 seconds instead of every 18 seconds.
• The Shellbane Gryphon Collection Log now lists the pet first, inline with other Collection Logs.
• Added a new right-click option to the ledger tables as "Take-any-cargo", allowing you to quick-take a random cargo without bringing up the choice menu.
• You’ll no longer run into issues taking a second Port task because it uses the same type of crate as your previous accepted task. Note that some crates or tasks may be cleared on login as part of the change.
• Reduced the number of sharks around Mermaid locations, including in multi-combat zones like North of Crash Island. This should make Mermaid tasks clearer and less disruptive, giving you more breathing room to spot hints and respond.
• If your helm's covered in crystals when you order your crew to operate it, the game will now recognise immediately that they can't do it, instead of waiting until the crew reaches the helm before giving the feedback.
• On Mos Le'Harmless, Patchy's menu has had a quick spruce-up:
  • Fixed the problem where it had extra 'Buy' options that didn't work.
  • The menu can now be viewed by players who aren't already carrying a suitable pair of items, making it easier for new arrivals to learn about Patchy's options.
  • His bandana eyepatch combo items now have their colours written into the item names to help distinguish between them.
• The Jar of Feathers can now be stored in the Achievement Gallery display of a player-owned house.
• The Gull’s (aka Scrongly’s) idle animation has had a tidy-up, with the tail now looping seamlessly.
• In the skill guide, checking materials for the Eternal Brazier now correctly mentions the 6 Runite bars required.
• You can no longer receive double Wind or Gale Catcher charges at once when multiple players trim sails on the same tick.
• Coral patches have had a buff this week:
  • Firstly, all three variants have a reduced chance of disease.
  • Secondly, the harvest yields have increased - for patches that grow after this update. Moving forward, the minimum yield for each variant should be 4 at all Farming levels, increasing as your level improves until you have a decent chance of receiving over 16 at level 99. The magic secateurs still improve your chances of a higher yield, as they did before.
• Fixed an issue where boats could be summoned without a Teleport Focus if one had previously been built on the boat.
• Fixed an issue where boats could get stuck in certain positions near the Brimhaven Port.
• Rum-dashed Ralph now refers to the correct helm material in his tips.
• Drinking Lunarshine no longer causes the player character's jaw to disappear.

• Added a whole heap of Rune Pouch loadout names based on your feedback and suggestions. The full list is available further down.
• Shades of Mort'ton Coffin Improvements:
  • You can now withdraw Shade remains into your inventory from the right-click menu, without needing to open the 'Configure' dialogue.
  • When withdrawing Shade remains from the coffin, it will now withdraw as many as possible into the inventory.
  • If you have multiple types of Shade remains in your coffin, the highest-tier remains will be withdrawn first, similar to how the Herb Sack functions.
  • The option to open and close the coffin is now available in the Configure menu as well.
• Added a toggle to give the Teleport Destinations interface a more modern look so that mobile users have a little more space and fewer misclicks.
• The Coal Bag, Gem Bag, Herb Sack, Plank Sack, Bottomless Compost Bucket and Essence Pouches now all share a consistent order for their right-click options, which is mirroring the existing order for the Coal Bag.
• Adjusted world-map icons to make clear which Agility short-cuts are one-way only and which are two-way (meaning they can be used from either side). One-way shortcuts now use reversed colours, with a white arrow on a green base, and are labelled as “one-way” in the mouse-over text.
• The Home Teleport icon and the 'Teleport' button in the Grouping interface will now appear grey if these particular teleports are on cooldown.

• You'll now get a warning that you won't get the Demon Tears back when dismantling the Avernic Treads.
• When transferring from Seasonal to Permanent DMM, you'll now be able to unlock all music tracks that failed to be unlocked before because of auto-completed quests. These tracks are tied to quests like the Fremennik series, Recipe for Disaster, Lunar Diplomacy, Dragon Slayer I & II, Monkey Madness II, A Taste of Hope, and more.
• Updated the gap-crossing animation on the Agility Pyramid to play the arm movements of the player character.
• The message that appears when attempting to create a Dragon Platebody now correctly says "You need a dragon metal shard, a dragon metal lump and a dragon chainbody."

• Fixed a Z-buffer issue that caused the player character’s feet to clip into the ground while holding the Christmas Dinner reward.
• Resolved a graphical issue with the Jad jumper reward from this year's Christmas event.

Sailing Improvements & Fixes

Barracuda Trials Tweaks

• In the Gwenith Glide, if your boat is hit by Resonance Crystals while you’re off the Helm, you can now get back on it shortly after breaking the crystal, instead of being locked out.
• Rune and Dragon Helms now have increased Resonance Crystal resistance, meaning fewer clicks for removing crystals at higher tiers.
• In the Gwenith Glide, the speed boost now fully resets when a trial starts, so the speed boost from removing the crystals from the Crystal Helm can no longer be carried over to the next trial.
• Fixed an issue in the Gwenith Glide where leaving the crystal’s teleport area just before the teleport occured could sometimes stop you from using your next teleport.
• Your boat can no longer get stuck on the Scoreboard buoy during Barracuda Trial 1.
• Barracuda Trials now finish when you sail away, meaning you can only start a trial when close by.

Shellbane Gryphon Tweaks

• The Shellbane Gryphon Collection Log now lists the pet first, inline with other Collection Logs.

Port Task Tweaks

• You’ll no longer run into issues taking a second Port task because it uses the same type of crate as your previous accepted task. Note that some crates or tasks may be cleared on login as part of the change.

Sailing Fixes & Tweaks

• We've increased the number of 'active' shipwrecks at each salvaging hotspot. This means every hotspot should have two inactive shipwrecks (rather than three or more), which will increase uptime for players salvaging.
• We've restored XP from sorting salvage to its pre-adjustment levels:
  • Barracuda salvage from 13 XP to 15.5 XP.

  • Level 3 Deckhandiness XP modifier reduced from 60% to 30%.
• We've added +1,250 XP to completion of the Marlin Gwenith Glide, meaning you'll receive 16,050 XP for a completion. Keep in mind that this number is now affected by the Horizon's Lure, which would put the new boosted completion XP at 16,451.

• Group Irons can now use facilities on their group members' ships regardless of whether or not they've built that facility themselves, so long as they have the Sailing level required.
• The Bonecrusher and Bonecrusher Necklace now work for any Sailing creatures who drop bones.

Pull up a chair and hold on to your Crystal Extractors because this week's update features a whole host of Sailing tweaks and improvements, alongside some hefty XP balancing changes.

Changelog - December 3rd

\ Sailing XP Changes

• Made a variety of balancing focused tweaks to Sailing XP. Please see the full blog for more info and full context.

Other Sailing Changes

• XP Rewards like XP Lamps or the Tears of Guthix are now able to be used on Sailing!

• We've improved the hitbox of Lost Supplies to better match their model and make them more intuitive to collect. We're almost certain we've got it right this time!

• The size of the Cargo Hold's model and clickbox has been slightly increased to make it easier to click on.

• Players should no longer find themselves logging in at the last port that they visited if they logged out with their boat docked at an island's mooring point.

• Shipwrights can now repair your boat for 50 GP per Hitpoint restored.

• Boats will now heal to full whenever their keel or hull is upgraded.

• Cargo crates from Courier tasks no longer count towards the Cargo Hold storage cap for UIM players. Note that this is a temporary fix until we work with UIM players to settle on a better long-term solution for UIM gripes with Port Tasks.

• Removed some invisible walls in the Fremensund near Meaty Aura Logist.

• Chum Stations now require the same Sailing level to use as is required to build them. Meaning if you can build one, you can use one!

• Default settings have been adjusted so that using the 'Check Materials' button on boat upgrades will display a message in chat by default.

• Diving gear is no longer deleted when deposited into the Cargo Hold.

• A helmet-related Mermaid riddle solution has been updated to incorporate another correct solution.

• We've fixed a bug where players sorting Merchant Salvage were being told that they did not have the Sailing level requirement to sort through it in some scenarios.

• Players can no longer walk onto 'sailable' tiles in Varlamore and Laguna Aurorae and teleport themselves to Port Sarim.

• Planks from the Plank Sack are now useable when building facilities on a boat.

• The Captain's Log no longer suggests that there is any evidence of the Sharhai to the west of Vatrachos Island, because the evidence is actually to the east. Our bad on this one, but well done to any explorer spirits who went out of their way to find this evidence regardless!

• Frost Dragons have had their respawn timer made faster. They'll now respawn every 15 ticks (9 seconds) down from 60 ticks (36 seconds).

Z-buffer Graphical Fixes

• Player-owned house constructions and decorations now display correctly, with all textures and details appearing as intended.

• Updated the Shilo Village gem mine entrance so it displays as open rather than blocked when viewed.

• The fireplace on a wall near Orthus Farm no longer clips with the building.

• Fixed the Ancient Mushroom reflection at Fossil Island and the wall near the Fortis Colosseum so they now display correctly without flickering or visual glitches.

• Quetzal tails no longer clip through hay piles.

• The Seed Vault shadow now displays correctly without flickering or overlapping with the floor.

• Ritual circles from the Enchantment of Forestry event now sit correctly on the ground, preventing them from clipping on uneven terrain.

Other Changes

• Fixed a bug where players received their guaranteed Mimic on the 26th casket (or 11th Master) instead of the intended 25th Elite or 10th Master.

• With the exception of PvP and Deadman worlds, players who start to harvest an allotment and in the same tick use the same produce on a compost bin, will once again continue harvesting and composting automatically until the patch empties or the compost bin fills.

• This had stopped working because the code for using items on scenery was breaking binding effects such as the Ice spells. As those effects tend to matter most in PvP, we've restored the ability to use compost bins in that way, but only on non-PvP worlds (also excluding Deadman).

• Corrected interface positioning to remove the gap at the top of the screen when moving the World Map on desktop.

• The water pump site on Vatrachos Island now updates its appearance correctly when you build the pump.

• A trollface has been removed from the Thieving skill guide.

Sailing XP Changes

You've read the newspost's title, you've seen the panicked memes about the Crystal Extractor being thrown overboard, and you've undoubtedly got thoughts of your own regarding Sailing's XP balancing. We've been reading all over, watching your journeys, and working with our Data Analysts to get a real sense of how players are progressing through Sailing, where the common pain points are and areas that might harm our ability to expand the skill with further training methods. With all of that combined, we feel like we're ready to make some tweaks to Sailing XP. As you might expect, balancing an entire skill (especially one as broad as Sailing) is complex, and we were under no illusions that we'd get it absolutely perfect right out of the gate. That means that while there are some buffs in today's update, there are also a handful of nerfs. We need Sailing to make sense long-term, it's not an update for everybody to blitz through in a week or two and never touch again. Over the course of years it's important that Sailing remains relevant, interweaves properly with Old School's complex web of progression, and has space for additions to the skill at all level ranges. So while we appreciate that nobody likes a nerf, we hope that you're able to meet us halfway and appreciate that we need to finetune things with longevity in mind, rather than a rush to the finish line. It's also important to make clear that we're likely not going to get it perfect with these changes either - Sailing has a lot of room to grow and evolve, and balancing changes are something that we'll keep iterating on by working with the community's feedback, pairing it up with our own analytics and trying to get things just right. We know that there's a lot we still need to polish up with Sailing, so before the end of the year we'll be putting together an in-game Opinion Survey (using our fancy new polling system) to gather your thoughts on a whole host of hot topics. While we're doing our best to prioritise working on what's important to ensure smooth seas for our new sailors, we know that there's a lot of feedback out there from all of you and more changes that you'd like to see, so we'd like to really drill down into the details and fully develop our understanding of your feedback so that we can make sure we deliver. This list isn't exhaustive, but you can expect to see questions on things like:

• Ship Combat - What are the biggest pain points? Are there quick wins and small fixes that would improve the feel alongside more long-term adjustments? How do resource availability and unique drop rates (more on those below) factor in to your overall enjoyment here?

• Deep Sea Trawling - Is it appropriately rewarding for the effort required? Is the fish output in a good spot? Is the XP output in a good spot?

• XP rates - How is the balance of the skill sitting overall? How do today's changes impact your view of the skill's balance and progression?

• Drop rates - How does the 'time to complete' or 'time to obtain' for various resources feel? How would adjustments to ship combat shift perspectives here?

• Pain Point Prioritisation - Which of the 'tougher' things for us to fix should we get to first?

• Iron/Ultimate Iron concerns - What unique challenges do players of these account types face? What changes could we make to reduce frustration while still respecting the spirit of these game modes?

• And loads more!

With all of that feedback to look forward to in the near future, let's bring your attention back to now. Before we dive into specifics on the changes we're looking to make today, we've got a quick refresher on where we expect each different Sailing activity to sit alongside each other with regards to XP/Hr and viability as training methods.

• Barracuda trials are the most intensive and skill-based training method and should remain at the top so long as you're at an appropriate level (meaning the Tempor Tantrum shouldn't still be dominating your training if you're already level 50 Sailing, for example). Their downside is that the XP gained is fairly static and only really scales up with boat speed and player skill, so it plateaus with player skill and incrementally with boat upgrades. This allows training methods unlocked at later levels to eventually surpass them. You can see this effect across the entire skill where once a new trial is reached every other method starts gaining higher XP to try and keep up.

• Courier Port Tasks are the bread and butter baseline for all Sailing XP and should be relevant for most of the Sailing journey. They are not likely to be the highest XP earners for most level brackets but may have their time to shine in level brackets between trial unlocks.

• Salvaging is primarily an AFK method allowing players to earn loot while gaining XP, it's aimed to be very second monitor friendly with the option to participate in tick manipulation methods for those inclined for even greater returns in XP. Tick manipulation salvaging without sorting the salvage should be a reasonably competitive option, below Marlin rank barracuda trials for those who prefer this method of training, though we'll never balance this method specifically around tick manipulation since we understand it has a reasonably niche appeal.

• Bounty Port Tasks are a way to train Sailing via combat but are intentionally not trying to be a competitive XP provider as we'd like to keep Sailing focused around non-combat training instead of making it a combat skill. These provide a reasonable option for those who wish to seek out rare sea creature drops while gaining some Sailing XP on the side.

• Deep Sea Trawling is a Fishing and Sailing hybrid training method primarily focused around obtaining valuable fish which you cannot get anywhere else in the game. This is not a significant XP driver in order to keep the price of the fish high and should instead be considered as a reasonable way for high level fishers and sailors to earn money as a reward for training their skills.

• Finally, with the core Sailing training methods, we have a philosophy that "Level is king". As a rule of thumb, higher level unlocks should always try to award more XP than lower level unlocks as a baseline before then considering the intensity of the method.

Time for some specifics! Drop anchor and take a seat, there's a lot to cover...

Crystal Extractor

If you can’t see the image above, click here! We'll start with arguably the most contentious part of Sailing's XP balancing: the Crystal Extractor. This innocuous unlock has sparked a lot of conversation and has - in a sense - warped the majority of Sailing's progression around it. For those not in the know, the Crystal Extractor is a boat facility that you can build at 73 Sailing. For your troubles (and roughly two million GP), you gain a facility which generates a wind mote every 60 seconds, granting 600 Sailing XP when harvested. It takes three ticks (1.8 seconds) to harvest - or four ticks if you count the time it takes to interact with the extractor - meaning that for the time you're actually interacting with the extractor, your effective XP per hour (XP/hr) is around 1,200,000. In effect, the single most valuable thing that you could possibly be doing if there's a mote ready to be harvested, is clicking on your Crystal Extractor, which adds up to an additional ~34,000 XP/hr for players paying enough attention to click once per minute. Our initial expectations for the Extractor were for it to close the gap between lower intensity activities such as Port Tasks or Shipwreck Salvaging and higher intensity activities like the Barracuda Trials. Earlier in development, the interaction time on the Extractor was longer than it is now and it had to be placed further away from the helm, so we'd balanced it expecting that players would be less willing to pull away from the helm in order to harvest wind motes. As you might have guessed from the sheer volume of posts around the Crystal Extractor throughout the community, this isn't quite the case, so we feel changes are needed. Having said all that, we appreciate that many sailors are enjoying keeping on top of their extractor and weaving their harvests in between actions, so we're not looking to completely gut it or remove emergence from you all. We'll be reducing the XP per harvest from 600 XP to 250 XP. This means that you can earn roughly 14,000 XP/hr from your Crystal Extractor, rather than ~34,000. This is a sizeable nerf but one that we think is necessary and one that we'd like to compensate with XP boosts at certain points throughout progression (more on that later). We think this still makes harvesting from the extractor worthwhile (with an effective 500,000 XP/hr while interacting with it) but means we have more freedom to balance other activities appropriately since we're not having to account for a flat 34,000 XP per hour on top of everything, which makes scaling things up or down a little tougher. Alongside this change, we're making an improvement to the Crystal Extractor which will allow it to generate charges even while you're at a port, until you've been disembarked (meaning running around on land) for around 10 seconds or so. This means that if you're quick, you can pick up or deposit cargo and make it back in time to keep the XP flowing without interruption! Before we dive into specific activities, we'll say that we're not planning on any XP changes to Barracuda Trials since they're already taking a hit as a result of the Crystal Extractor changes. We're happy with where the XP from trials will sit alongside other options without any further adjustments and we're constantly seeing players push the limits here, exploring options like allowing for 'natural' trimming moments and new more optimal routes are always being discovered to push XP even further.

Port Tasks

If you can’t see the image above, click here! Everybody's favourite delivery driver simulator! Port Tasks are supposed to be a medium-intensity method that sits between Shipwreck Salvaging and the Barracuda Trials, offering a comfortable mid-point in XP/hr. While we expect there are still discoveries to be made in order to maximise the efficiency of tasks like this (particularly with so-called A-B-A tasks, which you can learn more about in these videos from Westham and Kriibus), we think there are some points in progression where Courier Tasks in particular could use a little boost to make them a more appealing option. We'll be increasing the completion XP offered by all Courier tasks from level 40 and above by ~15%. This should help them shine a little brighter in the level ranges between Barracuda Trials where one starts to fall off and you want to progress to the next, particularly at levels 40 to 55 and 60 to 70, as well as make them a more appealing laid-back option for players in the 90s and beyond 99 sporting rosewood upgrades to max out their boat speed. At this stage we're not planning any changes to the XP offered by Bounty Tasks, for two main reasons! One being that Ship Combat isn't in the best state right now and we need to have a wider review on how best to improve combat before we push it any closer to being the meta at any stage, and the other being that these tasks are supposed to be a nice excuse for you to obtain the Bounty target's unique drops while still getting a little Sailing XP boost on the side. Deep Sea Trawling We've not got any specific changes that we're making here this week, but felt it important to at least mention that we're aware of the wider discussions that you're all having regarding Deep Sea Trawling. Our intent for this method has always been for it to be a lower XP/hr activity with a solid resource output (fish!) so that trawling serves as a solid skilling moneymaker. Though that was our intent, we do understand where many of you are coming from with feelings that the XP offered isn't worth the intensity of the input, especially with the Sailing XP/hr being reduced as a result of the Crystal Extractor changes. So no changes to trawling this week, but we'll be having conversations around the XP, the output and whether this is more of a Sailing or a Fishing activity, then see what changes we might be able to make that make it a more appealing method, but not making it so appealing that the economy absolutely floods with powerful new fish and Deep Sea Trawling ceases to be a worthwhile moneymaker. Watch this space!

Shipwreck Salvaging

Despite being the 'simple' AFK training method, there's a lot of complexity involved in balancing Shipwreck Salvaging because there are so many ways that players can approach it. Here's a quick rundown of all of the ways that you've been salvaging so far:

• Self Salvage, Self Sort, no crewmates.

• Self Salvage, drop, no crewmates.

• Self Salvage, Self Sort, assign crewmate to Salvage while Sorting.

• One Crewmate Salvage, Self Salvage, Self Sort, assign crewmate to Salvage while Sorting.

• Two Crewmates Salvage, Self Sort.

• One Crewmate Salvage, Self 2-tick Salvage, Self Sort, assign second crewmate to Salvage while Sorting.

• One Crewmate Salvage, Self 2-tick Salvage, drop.

• Self 1.5-tick Salvage, Self Sort.

• Self 1.5-tick Salvage, drop.

• And more! All of these for every single type of Shipwreck too.

Many of these are enabled by the Salvaging Station, which was an addition made late into Sailing's development, which has made "Two Crewmates Salvage, Self Sort" in particular a very strong AFK method that allows almost 30 minutes of downtime with solid XP rates (making it arguably the best AFK method in the game), especially when coupled with the additional XP/hr from the Crystal Extractor. This is compounded by a bug where crewmates are actually salvaging every three ticks, making them faster than players, who salvage every four ticks. While we love AFK methods just as much as you, and we're no strangers to some second-screen salvaging while at work, we think that the XP/hr on offer from some of these is a little too good for the effort required, which weakens the appeal of Port Tasks and Barracuda Trials and makes it possible to reach 99 Sailing without moving your boat much at all. We're looking to make some changes here that might not be easy to understand from the numbers, so we'll state our goals clearly:

• Nerf AFK Salvaging across the board so that its top end is slightly above similar AFK methods like Redwood woodcutting. Our rough estimate here is that AFK salvaging methods could top out in the 80-90k XP/hr range.

• Ensure that moderately AFK methods where crewmates salvage and the player sorts still result in more XP than dropping salvage, but tone down the sorting XP so that it isn't significantly better than dropping.

• Reduce some common frustrations and pain points with Salvaging to improve QoL.

• Improve the output of high-intensity Salvaging so that players looking for high-intensity training methods have a viable alternative that competes with Barracuda Trials.

Now let's dive in to how we're looking to realise those goals, starting with all of the ways we'd like to improve your quality of life when salvaging shipwrecks.

• Crewmates will now remember their assigned task over logout, meaning they'll get right back to Salvaging even if you hop worlds.

• Crewmates' 'Salvage range' will be calculated from the hook's position, rather than the boat's position - this should reduce scenarios where crewmates could salvage shipwrecks that you could not, and vice versa.

• Crewmates will now salvage at the same rate as players, rather than outperforming their captain.

• We'll be adding more 'double Salvage spots' to every shipwreck hotspot, while also making these double spots easier to access and orient yourself so that you're not getting stuck repeatedly.

• Jolly Jim's Deckhandiness has been increased to 4, meaning you'll have two crewmates able to use Dragon salvaging hooks.

These tweaks should help improve the social aspect of Salvaging, cut down on annoyance when getting into the right spot or hopping at the same location, and improve the consistency with which crewmates do what you'd expect them to! You might have noticed that the above list also states that players will salvage on a 5-tick cycle, rather than the current 4-tick cycle. This is slower than before, but we're buffing success chances at all tiers of shipwreck to compensate - this aims to keep the XP/hr of actually Salvaging at a similar or slightly lower level than before, but will also increase your AFK time when actively salvaging. Here's how success rates are changing to compensate for this adjusted speed:

• Small shipwrecks now have an 11% increased success chance

• Fisherman shipwrecks now have a 14% increased success chance

• Barracuda shipwrecks now have a 15% increased success chance

• Large shipwrecks now have a 16% increased success chance

• Pirate shipwrecks now have a 21% increased success chance

• Mercenary shipwrecks now have an 18% increased success chance

• Fremennik shipwrecks now have a 16-21% increased success chance

• Merchant shipwrecks now have a 16-22% increased success chance

On top of this, we're buffing the XP that you get from actually pulling up Salvage for some of the higher-tier shipwrecks as follows:

• Pirate shipwrecks now give 76 XP instead of 63 XP

• Mercenary shipwrecks now give 138 XP instead of 127 XP

• Fremennik shipwrecks now give 162 XP instead of 150 XP

• Merchant shipwrecks now give 200 XP instead of 190 XP

However, we're reducing the XP that you get from sorting Salvage to try and better emphasise getting involved on the hooks yourself and reducing some of the strength of the "Two Crewmates Salvage, Self Sort" method. We love an AFK method, but with Sorting XP being as good as it is, we think relying solely on Sorting and letting your crewmates do all of the Salvaging little too AFK to be healthy long-term.

• Barracuda salvage now gives 13 XP instead of 15.5 XP

• Large salvage now gives 20 XP instead of 24 XP

• Pirate salvage now gives 26 XP instead of 31.5 XP

• Mercenary salvage now gives 30 XP instead of 63.5 XP

• Fremennik salvage now gives 32 XP instead of 75 XP

• Merchant salvage now gives 34 XP instead of 95 XP

It's hard to put all of this together and understand exactly how each of the approaches to Shipwreck Salvaging might be impacted, the oversimplified version is that we estimate these numbers to be a 20-30% nerf for AFK salvaging from level 35 shipwrecks and beyond, and around a 20% buff to more high intensity approaches to salvaging. It's worth noting that majority of the '20-30% nerf' here assumes that you're maintaining good uptime on your Crystal Extractor, so if you've been taking it easy and missing out on harvesting every minute then you'll likely see a smaller reduction in XP. Additionally, shifting more XP onto salvaging rather than sorting means you'll notice more of the benefits from upgrading your hook - the current paradigm with sorting doing so much lifting (coupled with the sheer volume of XP added by the Crystal Extractor) means upgrading your salvaging hook multiple tiers doesn't result in noticeable increases in XP/hr, but these increases should be more noticeable with today's update. We believe these numbers should help bring them into a healthier spot so that they're still a solid social/AFK offering but not so solid that they lead to many players not engaging with other training methods whatsoever, coupled with a bunch of QoL improvements that should improve consistency (which will boost XP/hr slightly in a way that's tougher to model), and position high-intensity Salvaging methods as something that might be a competitive alternative to Barracuda Trials for endgame sailors looking for a change of pace. Nobody likes nerfs, or feeling like they missed out on stronger early XP rates because of real life commitments, but we hope that you can appreciate our desire to better position Sailing's core training methods relative to each other now that we're equipped with more data and feedback than we could ever have gathered by ourselves. These changes also create more space for us to add new methods or activities in the gaps to flesh out a varied progression curve with a large breadth of gameplay for players to enjoy for years to come, so we can't wait to see what we come up with together as more and more suggestions for new activities flood in. Oh and one last thing before we move on, we're fixing the Horizon's Lure so that it correctly applies its +2.5% XP boost to all activities in Sailing, meaning:

• Harvesting from the Crystal Extractor

• Sorting/Salvaging (on a boat)

• Or sorting at a dock with a boat spawned with the keg on
