RuneScape Discussion
- Extending a Daily Challenge now costs 25 Vis Wax (down from 30).
- When generating three Daily Challenges on a new day, if fewer than three challenges are toggled on, duplicates of unblocked challenges will be rolled. i.e. If you've blocked all but Dungeoneering challenges, you'll roll three Dungeoneering challenges rather than having to complete a challenge and pay Vis Wax to re-roll the next challenge to the type you want.
- You can now track all three of your Daily Challenge slots, even if they contain the same challenge objective.
- Players now need a minimum level of 99 in a skill to access the Challenge Block feature from a Challenge Mistress.
- Free-to-play 'Scapers can block Membership skills once they reach the level cap (for example, level 5 Agility).
- The Agility Daily Challenge now counts each of the seven segments of the Anachronia Agility Course as its two laps, similar to Yak Track Agility tasks.
- Basic challenges no longer give XP in their skill when you Claim Reward. This is so that skilling pures or specialist builds that only want to focus on one skill at a time can still access Daily Challenges.
- All Combat Challenges can now be toggled off via a checkbox in the Skill Select interface, accessible via a Challenge Master. This can now be accessed at any level and turns off Combat, Prayer and Summoning Daily Challenges.
- If the player currently has a basic challenge to do, Challenge Mistresses and Nastroth in Lumbridge now give a chat option to skip any of these challenges. This is so that a new player who does not want to engage in certain skills and/or get the XP from them does not have to complete all the basic challenge objectives.
- The initial set of Daily Challenges assigned to a new player after completing the basic challenges is now Daily Mining, Daily Smithing and Daily Crafting (equipment), instead of Daily Combat, Daily Prayer and Daily Smithing. We think this is more skiller-friendly!
- We've removed the 'Skip' text from Challenge Tokens, changed the Skip button text to 'Complete', and updated other bits of text to make it more clear that claiming the rewards from a completed challenge will give you XP in that challenge's skill.
- Selecting each skill from the Challenge Blocking interface is much more responsive.
- Text for the Main Menu has been changed to True Type font for sharpness and greater readability.
- Greater Flurry will now deal increased single target damage when applied by the Greater Barge effect.
- Fixed an issue that caused ranged abilities to not correctly put the players auto attack on cooldown.
- Fixed an issue where completing the Hard mode task awarded the player the same amount of Reaper points as completing the task in Normal mode.
- Fixed an issue that prevented the Granite Maul special attack from being used during global cooldown if stored inside an Essence of Finality.
- Fixed an issue that caused Arch Glacor loot to be rerolled on a player's second kill of a killstreak in Hard mode.
- In Once Upon A Time in Gielinor: Finale, a more appropriate shield animation is now used during Philipe's memory.
- The player must now complete Once Upon A Time in Gielinor before they can wear the Completionist Cape.
- As the perception of cosmetic overrides has evolved since the release of The Death of Chivalry. Plus, based on community feedback, the player is now considered to be disguised as Captain Dulcin as long as they're either wearing the Black Knight Captain Armour or have activated the Dulcin Armour override. This is even if they've overridden their appearance to not appear disguised.
- Smithing partially folded Alloy Bars now plays a sound effect.
- Based on feedback, mobile players now have the ability to change the direction messages appear in the chatbox to ascending or descending. To choose, select the Common Chat Settings button at the bottom right of the chatbox and select the Chat Direction drop-down.
- 492b in GP value has been donated.
- 112,000 donated with over 53,000 unique donors as of Tuesday afternoon
- A max cash stack has been donated and 2,000 people have donated the highest title for donating 200m.
- Will there ever be reworks instead of new content? If a piece of content is going to be reworked it will likely be as part of a new piece of content rather than just say reworking Falador.
- Will the Staff of Sliske special attack be updated? The staff was buffed by Sponge but overall he was not happy with it. The answer will be to make a new special attack.
- Does Mod Iroh’s departure impact the Player Avatar rework? In terms of the project, it’s at the same state, it was not tied to Mod Iroh. There were some technical issues found meshing heads together within the models. This pushed the project scope beyond of what was able to fit in for the year of 2021.
- How do you decide if content is fun? Mod Jack: The way the question is phrased implies that we need to allow it to go live. It’s very rare for a project to get that far in that it would have to be cancelled. The processes used to build the content normally prevent this from happening because of the numerous stages of design, prototyping, and play tests.
- Will we see more old cosmetic items return to the Oddments store? There may be some changes in 2022 that would bring some old cosmetics back.

Listener Questions
Question from Tyco
Dear RSBANDB. December is here and with it comes celebrations, presents and a lot of jingles to every house. I however have already started looking into RuneFest 2022 (maybe thinking too far ahead?) and what to wear at the venue. I would hope to make something more daring than the adventurer outfit I wore when I met Shane back in 2018 (and gave him a bearhug for those who remember), but the level of my crafting skill will determine how it goes. My question now is, would you be interested in taking part of this magnificent event if Jagex were to host it in the UK this coming year? If yes, what would be the one thing you would be looking forward to with the journey?
If no, what would be the biggest obstacle?
I hope I will see you all next year with archaeology capes and pitchforks.
From Tyco elf of the Nordic Lands
Question from Stray
We know now that the new EP for RS3 worked on Old School. presumably some of their design philosophy will carry over, hopefully not in the form of polling every update or runelabs. how would you feel about a 'modlabs' where devs could pitch their passion projects to the players? Also do you think the golden partyhat hunt was part of the new EP's influence? possibly an example of the type of nostalgia focused updates we might be getting.
If you want to send questions to RSBANDBUpdate! you can send them in via Twitter DM or post them to update.rsbandb.com/ask
