RuneScape Discussion

The login and lobby screens' text components have been replaced with TrueType fonts.

Leprechauns now confirm successful noting of produce by using items with an infobox. Leprechauns and Farmers now remain in place rather than wandering about the farm. Farmers now offer items for sale in a Shop rather than through dialogue.
Farmers now have Pay as their left-click option.

Instead of three or four entrances to Pyramid Plunder taking you to an empty tomb, all four entrances now take you to the Guardian Mummy.
Players with 41+ Thieving entering Pyramid Plunder are now sufficiently stealthy to always avoid a random act of violence from its Guardian Mummy (the poor Sarcopha-guy has a tendency to lash out... but he's working on his mummy issues.) This levelling benefit is indicated in the Thieving skillguide.
Converted various feedback messages in Pyramid Plunder to infoboxes, so you get feedback if your chat is closed.

The (Augmented) Crystal Chime/Chisel/Hammer/Knife/Saw/Tinderbox, (Enhanced) Pyro- matic/Hammertron, and Sculpting Chisels of Bandos/Guthix/Saradomin/Seren/Zamorak ALL now allow you to use Bladed Dive, when wielded with Laceration Boots or an appropriate off-hand item.
Catalyst fragments from Sliske's Endgame now count as an off-hand item for Bladed Dive, similar to other skilling off-hands.

Adjusted Zamorak's common drop table. Mod Sponge tweet
Adjusted the weighting of rares on Zamorak's drop table so players should see bow pieces slightly more often, and chaos roar slightly less often when rolling a rare.
Players will now be awarded more common loot and higher chances at rare drops for Zamorak when running the Elite Dungeon.
Following feedback, changes have been made to the way group Enrage works for the Zamorakian Undercity encounter:

Enrage is now shared between groups of 2-5 players, meaning your highest Enrage will be applied to every group size.
Messaging has been updated at the end of a Zamorak, Lord of Chaos encounter to clearly state the highest Enrage you have achieved.
Solo Enrage is tracked separately and remains unchanged.
When you next log in, your Enrages from groups of 2-5 will be looked at by the system and the highest amount will be taken. A chatbox message will appear to inform you of this.

During the Zamorak, Lord of Chaos fight, if you are within Infernus, you will now hear Zamorak's VO:

If you are in a solo encounter, you will hear the VO from the Decimate attack.
If you are in a group encounter, you'll hear all of the VO whilst inside Infernus.

Following feedback, the amount of Reaper kills given out for a Zamorak, Lord of Chaos task has been brought in-line with other Elite Dungeon boss tasks. You'll now be asked to kill Zamorak 2-3 times, rather than 1-8.
Added quick chat option for Zamorak kills and highest enrage.
When wearing the Vestment of Chaos armour set, the buff icon for the Berserk ability will now correctly last for 26 seconds, rather than 20 seconds.
Added 'The Worst Witch's Grimoire' requirement for the Master Quest Cape achievement.
Finding and reading Archaeology Journal - H.F.A now awards the 'Madness and Malediction' achievement. Added 'Madness and Malediction' requirement for Master Quest Cape.

Fixed an issue where a Dinarrow projectile shot backwards.
Halved the drop chance of dino eggs from Seggregation and zygomite sporelings from Carestyling.
