RuneScape Discussion

• Game Update: Double XP LIVE (Friday 8th May) and Ninja Strike #4
• Tweaks and Fixes (Patch Notes 04/05/20)

• Grace of the Elves

• Two new options have been added while wearing the item, which means you can recharge the necklace while skilling.
• 'Charge porter' will add one Sign of the Porter to the necklace.
• Three new settings have been added to the necklace:
• 'Always warn' will continue to warn the player before charging Signs of the Porter.
• 'Always consume' will cause Grace of the Elves to automatically consume Signs of the Porter until full.
• 'Never consume' will never attempt to waste any extra porter charges and will stop prompting a warning.
• The Buff Bar icon is now removed when the necklace reaches 0 charges.
• The necklace will now prioritise activated Signs of the Porter instead of inactive ones.
• When the porter functionality is disabled, the number of charges remaining will show on the Debuff Bar icon.
• A filterable chat message has been added to notify the player when their Grace of the Elves reaches 0 charges.
• When adding just one porter to the necklace, players will no longer be asked for confirmation.

• Stone Spirits Rebalancing

• Various bosses and Slayer monsters have had their stone spirit drops re- balanced. Higher-level creatures will now drop appropriately high-level stone spirits.

• The Ranch Out of Time

• The animal buyers and Bank chest are now more accessible.
• The Seasonaliser has been removed as it had no functionality for the Ranch animals.
• There is now space for a Storm Barn to be built on The Ranch Out of Time. The building permit can be purchased for 7,500 beans.
• You'll need 15,000 wood, hides, and leaves from the Anachronia Base Camp to build the Storm Barn.
• The Storm Barn is a requirement for the "Bean There, Done That, Got The Post Card" achievement for the Completionist Cape.
• Teleporting to The Ranch Out of Time will now land players directly where Great-Granny Potterington and the dinosaur buyers are situated. The first teleport after today's update will still land players at the previous location on the beach.
• Players can now teleport to The Ranch Out of Time via the Max Guild garden portal. The ability to attune the portal there can be bought from the 'Misc. Rewards' section of the Farmer's Market for 5,000 beans.

• Raptor Chest & Outfit - Rebalancing and QoL

• Raptor's Chest has been renamed 'The Raptor's Chest of Slaying' to be more informative.
• The chest has been moved from Burthorpe to War's Retreat.
• The order in which drops are rewarded has been reorganised.
• The chest now uses a Reward interface similar to those found on other reward chests. The new interface shows the total value of the rewards and also allows them to be banked from the interface.
• When claiming VIP Slayer tickets a chat message will appear to show how many you've received and how many you have in total.
• A new Slayer point icon has been created so that it can be displayed in the Reward interface.
• Upon using a Raptor's Slayer lamp you will now be asked for confirmation before receiving Slayer XP.
• A 'Combine' option has been added to key parts for ease of use on desktop and mobile.
• An 'Observe" option has been added to the full key to guide players to the chest's location.
• When combining a key, a message will appear that guides players to the chest's location.
• Adjusted messaging when opening the chest without a key, to inform players of where to find key pieces.
• Raptor Chest Drops
• The Raptor's Basic Outfit is now guaranteed to drop from the chest.
• The unlock text for Raptor's Basic Outfit in the wardrobe has been adjusted to reflect the above.
• The chance to receive a Raptor weapon has been increased from 1/200 to 1/50.
• General drops have been rebalanced and include more up to date rewards:
• The Raptor's Advanced Outfit cosmetic override no longer degrades at all, and has become a permanent unlock.
• As such, the kills required for the upgrade have been increased from 30 to 50.
• The unlock text for Raptor's Advanced Outfit in the wardrobe has been adjusted to reflect the new amount of kills required.
• The info-box displayed when the upgrade is obtained is now green to highlight the unlock.

• General

• The generic reward interface now allows you to withdraw the items noted or un-noted.
• Some of the meats in the Oo'glog Meat Shop have been turned in to packs of meat for easier purchase.
• Various meats that always had zero stock have been removed from this shop to reduce clutter.
• Some of these items, namely the packs, now restock on daily reset instead of on a 24-hour timer.
• Yak hides in the Jatizso shop have been turned into yak hide packs to allow for easier purchase.
• When the Herbicide option to auto-collect herbs is turned on, they'll go straight to the Herb Bag instead of the Backpack.

• Archaeology

• Textures on the Spear of Annihilation and Masterwork Spear of Annihilation have been improved.
• The 'Ruthless' Invention perk now appears with the correct icon on the Buff Bar.
• It is now possible to contribute a single item to a collection via a menu option on the item inside the Collectors interface.
• Players can now discover pylon batteries while excavating in the Kharid-et prison block.
• The Spear of Annihilation and Masterwork Spear of Annihilation are now treated as Bandos items in the God Wars Dungeon.
• The forge doors inside Warforge! will now list the keys you are missing to open it, as long as you've found at least one already.
• Bad luck mitigation for artefacts has been increased. It will now take the players last five received artefacts into account when awarding a new one.
• An additional perk has been added to the Archaeology skillcapes. Whilst worn, the player receives an additional 1% sprite focus when excavating at a spot with a time sprite.
• The Master Archaeologist's outfit will now grant access to the 'Fixate' ability. You can activate this from the skilling section of the magic spell book.
• Fixate can be activated on Archaeology excavations to guarantee the type of artefact that will be gathered from that spot.
• Fixate can be activated 3 times per day.
• Chronotes can now be added to, and used from, the Currency Pouch.

• Other

• The Ancient Legionary Outfit has been adjusted to fit female characters better.
• Textures on the Ancient Legionary Armour, Shield and Sword have been improved.
• Updated the description of coin prizes on Treasure Hunter (5,000,000- 200,000,000) to show that these prizes are members-only.

• Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue that was preventing the Dwarven Army Axe from being used as a pickaxe.
• Fixed an easy clue scroll hint referencing the Combat Academy so it no longer references content that is out of date.
• Fixed an issue that caused mobile users to crash after killing the Angel of Death. Corrected the start point for the Sheep Shearer miniquest in the Quest Journal.
