• Players are now given the option to deposit all forbidden items when a Monk of Entrana searches a player, without needing to make use of a deposit box.
• Players are now given an option to deposit forbidden items into their bank when travelling to Entrana using a hot-air balloon (or into a deposit box if travelling from Entrana, so as to not create a shorter banking route to Taverley's Summoning obelisk).

Listener Questions and Discussion

Question from Cireon

We’ve seen huge steps forward in rocket technology since private companies like Space X and Blue Origin have entered that space (no pun intended). We have seen this with other things in the past as well, such as for example consumer electronics, and we’re seeing it with some new areas as well, such as Sidewalk for city planning. My question for you is: what areas do you think could benefit from this kind of attention?
