Tweaks and Fixes (Patch Notes)

There is now a 'hand-in' option on Darren Lightfinger to fence all of your safecracking valuables for pilfer points or coins. This will hand in any items you are carrying all in one go, you will need to speak to him to hand in a partial amount.
Loot bag upgrades for safecracking are now permanent unlocks and the highest tier bag you have purchased will be replaced if lost.
Reclaiming a doctor or nurses hat from the Apothecary will no longer reset A Tail of Two Cats quest progress.
Removed reference to Stealing Creation being in the Wilderness in Temple of Senntisten post quest dialogue with the Assassin at the Dig Site.
The toggle on/off option in the assist interface is the left click option once again
Amended the options on squares in the Towers puzzle so that right-clicking allows you to select between incrementing the value, or directly selecting any number from 1 to 5. Left clicking will increment as before.
Effigies bought from the travelling merchant in deep sea fishing will now be correctly set up when used.
Clan Admin broadcast messages now save and display correctly.
Added the waiko hunter outfit to the Clean-up filter in the bank.
Postie Pete now offers alternate delivery options that allow you to choose where you want to have your parcels sent as a priority. You can choose to have them sent directly to you or sent to your bank.
Postie Pete's parcels can now be banked.
Postie Pete's postage stamps can now be stored in the currency pouch.
Players names in Clan/Friends chat will no longer appear in a bright white and has been reverted to the previous colour.
Corrected an error in mature grotworm's drop table which meant super restores never dropped and Saradomin brews dropped too often.
Increased the minimum size of the bank interface (within edit mode) so that the bank will now show the full worn inventory rather than having a scroll bar because the window wasn't large enough.
Ability cooldowns are now reset at the end of a fight in the duel arena.
You can no longer reset your Hellion Aura with your Hellion daily reset.
The fountains inside of the grand exchange can now be used to fill Evil Dave's empty stew satchel during the quest.
Improved the POH Treasure Chest interface with a menu that separates items by tier of treasure trail. This has been updated to include Master tier following clue scroll update.
Player Owned Houses can now be reset at Estate Agents. Players will still retain their pets, aquarium and Butler should they wish to rebuild their menagerie, aquarium and additional bedrooms respectively.
Unfinished potions now have "Mix" on left click when held in your inventory when you have both components in your inventory.

Listener Questions and Discussions

Discussion topic from Thieves

Hey guys,

Just wanted to post some clarifications in regards to the Safecracking 'cast last week:

(I will preface that I do enjoy the training method, I just think it has some pretty serious flaws)

Dwarf Traders are about 800K XP per hour at level 99+, and were the best Thieving method before Safecracking. This rate requires the following:

- Over 13 million Thieving XP gained in the skill

- Crystal Mask spell unlocked after The Light Within quest

- Soul-in-a-box unlocked after Nomad's elegy

- The Ardougne 3 Cloak

- Full Black Ibis

- Full Camouflage

- The discontinued Cheeky Monkey pet

- Crucially, the Legendary Thieving aura, which of course can only be used for an hour with a 3 hour cooldown.

Level 83 safecracking is achieving rates of 700K XP per hour. This rate requires:

- Over 2 million Thieving XP gained in the skill

- 40 Agility and 46 Herblore

- Access to Yanille, Ardougne and Camelot, 58 Magic the highest requirement here.

Level 96+ Safecrackers are now netting rates of 1.1M XP per hour. The rate requires:

- Almost 10 million Thieving XP gained in the skill

- 40 Agility and 46 Herblore

- Wilderness sword 3

- Summers End quest

- Ritual of the Mahjarrat

Other miscellaneous facts:

- Elf Worker pickpocketing at level 99+ is about 450K XP per hour

- Pyramid Plunder at level 99+ is about 250K XP per hour

- Level 62+ Safecracking is about 250K XP per hour

It's important to note that the safes aren't seemingly affected my Thieving level, aura or equipment, therefore a level 99 will be opening safes just as quickly as a level 62 Thief. Rather than taking the opportunity to make other Thieving methods more diverse, enjoyable or worthwhile, the problem with the update is that Jagex made all other training methods obsolete. The Thieving skill now is effectively the Safecracking skill, and I personally find this rise in XP rates at early levels truly alarming.

I think in general, the update can't be summed up better than with Pyrnassius' analysis: This isn't diversification, this is replacement.

Compare this to a recently revamped skill like Fishing, that now has countless lower level methods like Menaphos or Shilo or Barbarian fishing, to high leveled AFK Urchins, Less AFK but more money Sailfish, even less AFK but even more money Jellies, to Wobbegong, to Fishing Frenzy pure XP.

Thieving is now level 1-62 Thieving Guild, level 62-200M Safecracking.

Question from The RRMan

RRman Questions #47

Hey all hope all is well. Iv been away from the game for a few months, just having one of the usual breaks from the game that every player need to. Seems like iv missed out on a lot and it seems like this year is gonna be a killer with some crazy updates.

Please note I'm also behind on the podcast so you might have dealt with some of these.

1. It's been a few months since the new clues have come out, are you still doing them and what's your biggest win so far?

2. The player owned farm idea is amazing, super shocked that's its ment to be this year. What's your favorite farm animal? I of course will default to a sheep, before anyone interjects.

3. When did you last do dung? Of Course I still think its a mini game, but I must say last time I did it. It was a lot more bearable. There are so many quality of life fixes that mean you don't have to worry about min maxers telling you what to do or getting angry.

Cheers for the show its great to catch up on all the updates after not playing for a few months.

Peace Out

The RRman
