RuneScape Discussion

• The Croesus Front

• Background
• Condensed live stream notes
• Rewards

• Pet!
• Cryptbloom Armor

• What it does
• Impact for average players
• Comparison to current best in slot
• Impact for endgame PvM
• Discussion: Is it strange that magic is our “tank class”?

• Offhands

• What they do
• Appropriate XP creep
• Impact- income for skillers!
• “We’ll touch on the arrows in a bit, because they’ve got a bit more to unpack.”

• Seed bag

• What it does
• Crafting scheme- one core upgrade item, plus flakes
• Impact (very brief)

• Rune pouch

• What it does
• Crafted from flakes
• Impact- why this is so helpful, potential uses

• Book

• What it does
• Remaining Question Marks
• Impact/ use

• Tangent for context: History of power creep/ style balance in EoC (3-5 minutes)
• Arrows

• Thaxy’s Hot Takes & TL;DR
• Splinter

• What they do
• 2 parts- Salt the wound and Puncture.
• Salt the Wound (StW)

• Comparison to other ranged thresholds
• Mechanics- depends on stacks, good damage, low cooldown
• With new arrows- ability does 15% more damage than live

• Puncture- The thing people are sleeping on

• Mechanics
• How much damage is this? (lots)
• Why isn’t it used? (stacking)
• With new arrows- (!!!) 2x dmg from Puncture
• What this means for the damage of Dazing Shot.

• Putting it all together

• Damage gained from StW
• Total damage over Araxyte Arrows
• Comparison to Ruby/Hydrix

• As a switch

• Not 100% sure how these will work- assumption drop to 10 stacks, but maybe stacks fall off, or can be maintained.
• If stacks fall off -> not a switch
• Otherwise -> 10stack Puncture asap

• StW viable, Dazing damage drops a bit.
• Total damage gained

• I’ll bring this up again when I summarize the arrows

• Deathspore

• What they do
• Also 2 parts- crit chance and passive effect.
• Crit chance- negligible DPM increase, only useful for things that synergize on crit chance (grim and these arrows)
• Passive

• These are only a switch (other ammo better dpm, must time the activation)

• Also means you get to use some other arrow or bolt with these

• When to use these (high crit chance)
• Rotations

• Standard use case- Adrenaline in DS (why this matters)
• Alternatives- Incendiary Shot, (!!!) Natural Instinct (2min CD)

• Arrows Summary

• Massive adrenaline pool
• Puncture/StW useful even off Splinters
• Combined, massive damage buff
• Excited to use these, but unsure about this level of power creep

• SteelSeries and Prime Gaming
• God Banter
• Patch Notes - 20/09/21

• Multicannons and the Nodon Front

• Dwarf, Golden, and Royale Multicannons have been converted from four pieces into singular items. Any Multicannons you own will be automatically converted on next log-in.
• If you don't have enough space in your Bank or Backpack, converted Multicannons can be reclaimed from Egil at the Artisans' Workshop.
• If you have any Multicannon Parts left over from the Grand Exchange, you can convert them by talking to Egil at the Artisans' Workshop.
• All Multicannon Parts are no longer obtainable and can no longer be used.
• All Multicannons now have a tooltip stating their maximum damage.
• Multicannons can now be used on Egil to initiate the Multicannon exchange process. Egil has had his chat flow improved.

• The Glacor Front

• Reduced the screen shake effects that play when activating Hard mode for the Arch-Glacor fight.
• The Arch-Glacor Boss Collection Log will now track more than 250 Remnants.
• The freezing blood debuff from the Arch-Glacor fight now consistently times out.

• Mobile

• Fixed an issue where the players were unable to view tooltips while setting up defenders during The World Wakes on mobile.
• Fixed a camera positioning issue during the Monkey Madness cutscene where the Foreman speaks to G.L.O. Caranock.

• Other

• The glowing effect on gained XP value has been removed.
• When retrieving the last remaining runes from a Rune Pouch it will now automatically be sent to the Backpack, unless the Backpack is full, in which case it will remain equipped.
• Ogre Flasks now include information about the buffs granted by each of them in the tooltip.
• Changed the sound that plays when the pet Cat is summoned.
• Compass clues no longer block you from viewing a scanning clue while in the legacy interface mode.

• Ninja Strike 26 Souped Up Statues

• Enhancers

• Added five new Enhancers, all of which may be gained from the Motherlode Maw:
• Agile Outfit Enhancer: Grants an additional lap of progress towards the Agile Outfit per completed lap.
• Construction Contract Enhancer: Grants +100% Construction Credits when completing a Construction contract.
• Anachronia Base Camp Enhancer: Grants a +20% drop chance for rare building resources across Anachronia.
• This stacks with the Roar of Osseous effect, giving a maximum +30% drop chance. Invention Task Enhancer: Grants a new task for the tech tree that you last completed a task for.
• Menaphos City Quest Enhancer: Grants +100% reputation when completing a Menaphos city quest.

• Grand Exchange Buy limits
• General QOL

• Moved buyer-contract options at Manor Farm and The Ranch Out of Time to a noticeboard, which allows players to easily select which buyers they'd like to sell to. Renamed an option on both Granny Potterington and Prehistoric Potterington to reflect these changes.
• Players can now select whether to have stack value show the Grand Exchange price or the High Alchemy Price. They can also disable the display altogether.
• This can be done under Settings > Item Drops > Item Stack Information. This means Ironmen will no longer have to see High Alchemy prices.
• This affects how much Gold is added to Runemetrics drops based on the chosen setting, and will adjust accordingly when the setting is changed.
