RuneScape Discussion

From the live stream: Mod Warden has left, is heading home to Canada. New Executive Producer is onboarding and getting to know everyone in the team. They’re somebody who was already at Jagex within the team, getting closer to RuneScape. In the coming weeks they will be introduced.

Updated the requirements to enter War's Retreat:
Players with level 60 combat or higher will be able to enter as standard. Players with a total skill level of 1,000 or more will now also be able to enter. Players need only meet one of the above requirements, not both.
Players now have a greater chance to receive Elite Clues using the Scripture of Bik. The chances of receiving Easy, Medium and Hard Clues have been lowered accordingly.
Sign of the Porter now places items collected from Hunter nodes into the player's Bank if their Backpack is full.
Potions added with The Croesus Front can now be decanted by the appropriate NPCs.

Various changes have been made to the Arch-Glacor's minions:
The minions' health now scales based on the number of mechanics enabled.
Improved visibility on minion type by adding their combat style to their names.
Changed spawn position of minions so they no longer obscure the boss.
Added a very minor delay to the activation of the shield when minions spawn.
The shield no longer provides full immunity to the boss but reduces all damage to 2%. This is to mitigate situations where the minions spawn with the boss on extremely low life - FINISH HIM!
The Unstable Core (which is non-interactable) has been moved to a low priority level so as not to interfere with the minions' click areas.
The following places now contain the new Glacor model: Slayer Skill Guide
Player-owned House Pet House
Player-owned Dungeon Slayer Codex
Examining Gladys will now show you the highest enraged kill you have completed.
Improved the volume of the combat sound effects during the Arch-Glacor encounter. Updated the examine text of Glacors on The Glacor Front.
'Tsunami' can now be used on the Arch-Glacor's arms.
The Arch-Glacor's enrage percentage will now be displayed correctly.

Rejoining an instance after changing difficulty will now send the player to the correct mode. Closing an interface with the escape key will no longer trigger the battlefield ability.
Fixed an issue with the hitbox of Kerapac's Lightning Strike attack.

The Wilderness Level Indicator has been repositioned to the right of the chatbox for better visibility.
Resolved an issue where a red square was present on the Bank interface banner on mobile devices that have a tall aspect ratio.
Closing the Bag of Materials interface no longer shows the Achievements interface.

The Tsunami ability can now be cast against primary targets more than 4 tiles away, respecting the player's attack range. Secondary targets will still be selected in the area in front of the player.
The current model and animations for Hannibus will now appear in quests prior to Desperate Measures. Updated Hannibus' model and animations in Fate of the Gods.
The Mallory boss pet's idle animation no longer causes FPS drops.
Players will no longer receive notifications about Juju Farming Potions after running out of Perfect Plus Potions. This issue was caused by drinking a Perfect Juju Farming Potion immediately before a Perfect Plus Potion.
While hunting, players will now require two free Backpack slots when collecting captured animals from Box Traps.
The Extended Super Antifire Potion icon will now disappear when the buff timer runs out. The name of the buff timer will stay the same when relogging.
Drinking an Antifire Potion that overrides an active effect will now correctly update the Buff Bar.
The Extreme RuneCrafting Potion will disappear from the Buff Bar after it expires and the player has logged out.
Performing the Shock emote will no longer cause the player avatar's hand to clip through their head.
Players will no longer receive double XP after one party member leaves the game at the end of a dungeon floor.

Mod Warden has left, is heading home to Canada. New Executive Producer is onboarding and getting to know everyone in the team. They’re somebody who was already at Jagex within the team, getting closer to RuneScape. In the coming weeks they will be introduced.
Mod Kari and Mod Niku are leaving as well.
Last year was the first version of the Draynor manor event. The goal was to expand on seasonal events year after year. There were 4 mini quests last year. This year two new mini quests and activities as well as rewards.
One of the activities will award Slayer and Magic XP. The other will award Hunter and fishing. The Slayer and Magic activity is non-AFK where you defeat skeletons and the Hunter/Fishing activity is more AFK.
Legacy cosmetics tab from rewards over the past years… There will also be a new pet and upgraded scythe.
