RuneScape Discussion
- Green Santa hat is not discontinued
- Purple present seems to be about 1/20
- This puts the gold present at 1/50 or probably more likely 1/100.
- If 1/100 that means you'd need to turn paper in about 300 times to have a 95% chance of getting a gold present.
- If the Santa hat is 50/50 out of the gold, this puts the number of presents somewhere in the 600-700 range.
- Without playing the game, this is about 3000 keys or ~$740USD.
- You can get 2.5 presents an hour playing the game. With this 150 hours of gameplay should get you a gold present, double that for green Santa.
- Stacks of gifted items in Secret Santa may now be split up between multiple recipients.
- Items gifted by Ironmen in the Secret Santa event will now be given to other players. Irons still cannot claim a Secret Santa gift, however.
- Daily Challenges; Bonus Weekly Rewards
- Fixed an issue which allowed Iroman accounts to receive Combat Dummies from the Daily Challenge system.
- World map has implemented a new category under Activities - Boss encounters. The drop-down category includes:
- Boss encounters
- Elite dungeons
- Raids
- The Scripture of Jas now stores damage after all combat calculations are performed. As a result, it will now correctly store damage from damage-over-time abilities, and account for damage modifications such as Vulnerability.
- The chance of receiving a unique drop from Croesus has been increased slightly.
- The chance of receiving a unique drop from the Arch-Glacor has been increased slightly.
- The reward scaling for higher enrage and higher killstreaks has also been made more lucrative, whilst removing some value from the lower enrage and killstreak drops.
- *To benefit from these changes to Arch-Glacor you will need to start a new killstreak.
- On the God Wars Reputation interface on mobile, users can now see the preview description for the Reputation unlocks.
- Treasure Hunter promotion rewards are only affected by the multiplier of the promotion in which they were won.
- The Treasure Hunter rewards are no longer influenced by the previous promotion's multipliers.
- Players are now able to scroll the Golden Party Hat Hunt list using both the list and the scrollbar.
- The archaeologist NPC at the Acropolis has been removed from the game.
- The Island of Kami-Shima now renders correctly inside the player-owned Ports Map interface.
- Offhand Shadow Glaive was dealing less damage than expected when paired with a non-Glaive Mainhand. This has been corrected.
- The Scavenging perk is now triggered on Prifddinas Elves.
- Fixed an issue with the Sap Spirit curse, which was draining 8% of your opponent’s adrenaline, rather than the intended 10%.
- Updated the icon for the War's Retreat teleport.
- The effect of Terrasaur maul will no longer boost abilities applied with greater barge if the player is not wielding the weapon.

Listener Questions
Question from Stray
In the last couple livestreams there have been mentions that the devs are 'aware of certain expectations concerning GWDs', I assume this is in reference to a 5th boss. Each front boss has been completely different, if a potential 5th boss follows the same pattern do you think we could be getting a new elite dungeon? and if we don't get a 5th boss do you think we'll still get boss equivalent rewards (more t95s) from whatever the final EGWD update is?
Question from Vi Nightshade
Helloooo podcasters! I wanna know how I can do most content in the game except for Ambassador >:c He is the only boss I haven't done solo ;w;
Also Questcaping is a cutie
Question from Imperialias
If you could create a new questline in RuneScape - what would it be? (Or continuation of an existing one)
