• Tweaks and Fixes (Patch Notes)

• The rod-o-matic spot animations no longer play while fishing for Sailfish. This makes the Swift sailfish spot distinguishable.
• The Fury shark outfit animations no longer play when fishing for Jellyfish and Sailfish.
• The whirlpool at the Deep Sea Fishing hub now tracks title progress correctly.
• A 'Bang' option has been added to the ladders near the NPC Greg 'Groggy' Herring in the Deep Sea Fishing hub so that players can interact with him in Java.
• The Fishing icon has been added to the mouse over on all the fishing spots in the Deep Sea Fishing hub.
• The anti-griefing area has been mapped down at the Deep Sea Fishing hub, so cannons and similar items can no longer be placed.
• The streak timer during Frenzy Fishing now refreshes when clicking the spot, rather than after successfully flinging a fish.
• The 'message in a bottle' item now gives players the option to choose which boost they want, rather than applying one at random.
• Blue Blubber Jellyfish now heal for 750 per eat, not 1,000.
• Prawnballs are now obtainable through all Fishing activities at the Deep Sea Fishing hub.
• Sailfish now work with Calorie bombs.
• Sign of the porters now works with the Deep Sea Fishing spots.
• The puzzle picking code for elite clues has been updated to make puzzle boxes rarer and celtic knots more common, to be closer to the old chances. The distribution will be much closer to 50/50 now. The chance of a wizard has not been changed.
• Using an augmentation dissolver on augmented limitless staves or elite Robin Hood gear now correctly retains the items upgraded state and just removes the augmentation.
• The following quality-of-life changes have been made to Rum Deal:

• A sky box has been added to Braindeath Island.
• A bit of fence has been removed from the side of the factory so that players don't need to run around the whole building.
• The hopper and stagnant water pool are now left-click friendly.
• The op has been removed from damaged farming patches.
• The NPC's and zombies outside the factory now appear when you're on the first floor.
• The quest conclusion now provides reward lamps instead of flat XP.

• The following quality-of-life changes have been made to Cabin Fever:

• Both cutscenes are now updated and skippable.
• Rogue wooden floor textures were removed from the map edges during the ship battle scene. There is now also a skybox and an extended sea map.
• Pirate NPCs are now aggressive on the enemy ship.
• The custom interfaces within the repair and weapons boxes have been updated and now give players the exact items needed when clicked.
• Planks from the repair box are now stackable.
• The quest conclusion now provides reward lamps instead of flat XP.

• A new left-click flow has been added to the gunpowder explosion when operating/repairing the cannon.
• The plunder mechanic has changed as such: the barrel and box have been removed; players are now given a single lot of five plunder from the chest; players no longer need to wait for the chest to respawn; the chat and quest logs have been updated accordingly.
• The Globetrotter achievement now correctly unlocks after purchasing the full Globetrotter outfit.
• The Orlando Smith's hat broadcast is now global.
• Animations were optimised for multi-core processors.
• Players should no longer hear audio dropouts/crackling when playing on a single core machine, or when the CPU is under high load from another program.
• An issue was fixed with flickering/disappearing particles on old/low-end AMD graphics cards.

• Tutorial Island
• Masterwork and Upgraded Masterwork Armour
• The Equinox

Dear RSbandb

Tyco elf with a short but classic question I tend to ask players. If you both would get 30 seconds of full attention from all employees of Jagex, what would you say?
