RuneScape Discussion

Iron accounts can now enter boss instances alongside regular accounts.
Iron accounts will now be awarded drops in the same manner as normal accounts, including via Lootshare.
Removed grouping and matchmaking restrictions between account types for bosses.
Iron accounts are no longer required to use instances for bosses where an uninstanced version is available.
In line with the above, we have also removed the Iron discount for instances.

Ironmen can now boss in non-iron group forming channels.
Issue: Irons getting carried to gear by non-irons to be able to do that content themselves more easily?
Does this de-value the ironman experience?

Solak will now scale down to solo play using the same values per player as other group sizes.

Base lifepoints: 2,000,000
Core lifepoints: 125,000
Arm lifepoints: 45,000
Leg lifepoints: 35,000
Rootling lifepoints: 7,500
If players damage Solak to his phase cap during Phase 2, further damage will now continue to deplete Solak’s purple bar instead of scaling down.
Removed the clearing of buffs and debuffs for the player who climbs up Solak’s arm. Fixed a double-space typo in Solak’s chat attack callouts.
Retimed the projectiles to be consistent with the recent Raksha and Zamorak bosses.

Bad luck mitigation can now only be accumulated if you are doing kills at 100% enrage or higher.
Your bad luck mitigation modifier now increases at different speeds depending on your enrage% of the kill
100% - 1 500% - 2 1000% - 4 2000% - 8
The drop chance of a rare item used to be capped at a 1 in 20 chance with bad luck mitigation, if you are doing a higher enraged kill this cap is lowered further to 1 in 10 at 1000% and 1 in 5 at 2000%
50% Enrage was the sweet spot for ease/farming gear. Potentially de-valuing drops.
Are the drops too rare now in that they reward higher enrage farming?

Each of the 'Enrage' system bosses now has new 'Bronze' titles, achieved at kills of 1,000% enrage. This is to fill in the gap between achieving the 500% enrage base title and the 2,000%'s silver title.
All future enrage bosses will release with Base, Bronze, Silver and Gold titles to reflect this change

The Dagannoth King pets have been visually updated to better reflect the bosses they come from.
All default gameplay settings have been updated for new players to offer an improved experience
The money pouch tooltip has been reinstated.
