PATCH NOTES 4th May 2020



Ninja Strike #4
This week sees our talented Ninjas launch their fourth strike. This time they've used the ancient scattershot technique, hitting smaller targets across the game instead of focusing on one big challenge.
Grace of the Elves
The Grace of the Elves necklace has had several improvements made to it.
Two new options have been added while wearing the item, which means you can recharge the necklace while skilling.
'Charge porter' will add one Sign of the Porter to the necklace.
'Charge all porters' will add all Signs of the Porter in the Inventory until full or near full charge.
Three new settings have been added to the necklace:
'Always warn' will continue to warn the player before charging Signs of the Porter.
'Always consume' will cause Grace of the Elves to automatically consume Signs of the Porter until full.
'Never consume' will prevent Grace of the Elves from consuming Signs of the Porter, and will also not prompt a warning when charging manually.
The Buff Bar icon is now removed when the necklace reaches 0 charges.
The necklace will now prioritise activated Signs of the Porter instead of inactive ones.
When the porter functionality is disabled, the number of charges remaining will show on the Debuff Bar icon.
A filterable chat message has been added to notify the player when their Grace of the Elves reaches 0 charges.
When adding just one porter to the necklace, players will no longer be asked for confirmation.

Stone Spirits Rebalancing
Various bosses and Slayer monsters have had their stone spirit drops re-balanced. Higher-level creatures will now drop appropriately high-level stone spirits.

ScreenHunter 464.png (37.1 KiB) Viewed 18824 times

The Ranch Out of Time
Great-Granny Potterington enlisted the help of the Ninjas for some Construction work on The Ranch Out of Time. Now she has a lovely new home with space for a few more features.
The animal buyers and Bank chest are now more accessible.
The Seasonaliser has been removed as it had no functionality for the Ranch animals.
There is now space for a Storm Barn to be built on The Ranch Out of Time.
The building permit can be purchased for 7,500 beans.
You'll need 15,000 wood, hides, and leaves from the Anachronia Base Camp to build the Storm Barn.
The Storm Barn is a requirement for the "Bean There, Done That, Got The Post Card" achievement for the Completionist Cape.
Teleporting to The Ranch Out of Time will now land players directly where Great-Granny Potterington and the dinosaur buyers are situated. The first teleport after today's update will still land players at the previous location on the beach.
Players can now teleport to The Ranch Out of Time via the Max Guild garden portal. The ability to attune the portal there can be bought from the 'Misc. Rewards' section of the Farmer's Market for 5,000 beans.
Raptor Chest & Outfit - Rebalancing and QoL
Raptor's Chest
Raptor's Chest has been renamed 'The Raptor's Chest of Slaying' to be more informative.
The chest has been moved from Burthorpe to War's Retreat.
The order in which drops are rewarded has been reorganised.
The chest now uses a Reward interface similar to those found on other reward chests. The new interface shows the total value of the rewards and also allows them to be banked from the interface.
When claiming VIP Slayer tickets a chat message will appear to show how many you've received and how many you have in total.
The chat message for receiving Slayer points now shows how many you have in total.
A new Slayer point icon has been created so that it can be displayed in the Reward interface.
Upon using a Raptor's Slayer lamp you will now be asked for confirmation before receiving Slayer XP.
A 'Combine' option has been added to key parts for ease of use on desktop and mobile.
An 'Observe" option has been added to the full key to guide players to the chest's location.
When combining a key, a message will appear that guides players to the chest's location.
Adjusted messaging when opening the chest without a key, to inform players of where to find key pieces.
Raptor Chest Drops
Pieces of Raptor's Basic Outfit are now a guaranteed drop from the chest.
The unlock text for Raptor's Basic Outfit in the wardrobe has been adjusted to reflect the above.
The chance to receive a Raptor weapon has been increased from 1/200 to 1/50.

General drops have been rebalanced and include more up to date rewards:

ScreenHunter 465.png (39.43 KiB) Viewed 18824 times

Raptor Outfit improvements
The Raptor's Advanced Outfit cosmetic override no longer degrades at all, and has become a permanent unlock.
As such, the kills required for the upgrade have been increased from 30 to 50.
The unlock text for Raptor's Advanced Outfit in the wardrobe has been adjusted to reflect the new amount of kills required.
The info-box displayed when the upgrade is obtained is now green to highlight the unlock.

General
Some of the meats in the Oo'glog Meat Shop have been turned in to packs of meat for easier purchase.
Various meats that always had zero stock have been removed from this shop to reduce clutter.
The shop display has been reshuffled.
Some of these items, namely the packs, now restock on daily reset instead of on a 24-hour timer.
Yak hides in the Jatizso shop have been turned into yak hide packs to allow for easier purchase.
When the Herbicide option to auto-collect herbs is turned on, they'll go straight to the Herb Bag instead of the Backpack.

Archaeology
A new month means new fixes and improvement for RuneScape's latest skill! Let's see what our favourite shovelbums have been up to this week!
Textures on the Spear of Annihilation and Masterwork Spear of Annihilation have been improved.
The 'Ruthless' Invention perk now appears with the correct icon on the Buff Bar.
Fixed some instances of material caches clipping into the floor at Kharid-et and the Infernal Source.
Players will now be placed into the same instance in the Warforge! forge area after completing the 'Into the Forge' mystery.
It is now possible to contribute a single item to a collection via a menu option on the item inside the Collectors interface.
Players can now discover pylon batteries while excavating in the Kharid-et prison block.
The Spear of Annihilation and Masterwork Spear of Annihilation are now treated as Bandos items in the God Wars Dungeon.
The forge doors inside Warforge! will now list the keys you are missing to open it, as long as you've found at least one already.
Fixed minor clipping issues in the Infernal Source.
Bad luck mitigation for artefacts has been increased. It will now take the players last five received artefacts into account when awarding a new one.
A missing cadmium red material cache has been returned to its rightful place in Star Lodge cellar.
Fixed an issue that was allowing players to see through quintessence material caches.
An additional perk has been added to the Archaeology skillcapes. Whilst worn, the player receives an additional 1% sprite focus when excavating at a spot with a time sprite.
Fixed an issue that was causing empty charge pack messages to appear whilst excavating without an augmented item.
Fixed an issue where certain islands in the Infernal Source were being removed if you had the Remove Roofs setting set to selective.
Flowing lava in the Infernal Source will no longer disappear when you stand close to it.
Fixed an issue at the Infernal Source where a lava faucet was not being removed when the camera was moved inside it.
The Master Archaeologist's outfit will now grant access to the 'Fixate' ability.
Fixate can be activated on Archaeology excavations to guarantee the type of artefact that will be gathered from that spot.
Fixate can be activated 3 times per day.
A researcher that was causing misclicks by standing too close to the Archaeology research table has been moved south.
Added a confirmation message when leaving the Praetorium in Kharid-et to help prevent players accidentally leaving the area.
Chronotes can now be added to, and used from, the Currency Pouch.

Other
Hotfix: Transmog rings (e.g. Ring of Stone) can no longer be activated whilst in PvP zones. Additionally, Transmog rings can no longer be reclaimed from the Emotes interface whilst in the duel arena.
The Ancient Legionary Outfit has been adjusted to fit female characters better.
Textures on the Ancient Legionary Armour, Shield and Sword have been improved.
Added a Bank icon onto the maps for the Burthorpe Training Camp chest.
Updated the description of coin prizes on Treasure Hunter (5,000,000-200,000,000) to show that these prizes are members-only.

Bugfixes
Fixed an issue that was preventing the Dwarven Army Axe from being used as a pickaxe.
Fixed an easy clue scroll hint referencing the Combat Academy so it no longer references content that is out of date.
Fixed an issue that caused mobile users to crash after killing the Angel of Death.
Corrected the start point for the Sheep Shearer miniquest in the Quest Journal.

PATCH NOTES 18th May 2020

Strong winds at Stormguard Citadel have knocked down pillars and dislodged a tree that was obstructing players' views of excavation spots.
The augmented Inquisitor Staff can now be keepsaked.

The Virius Trophy and the Chaos Elemental Trophy have been moved to Zamorakian IV.
The 'Possession' metal sculpture, the Trishula and the Tsutsaroth Piercing have been moved to Zamorakian III.
Some quick-travel options have been added to the entrances of the Infernal Source and Everlight dig sites.

Players that have partially completed Sliske's Endgame will now see Armadyl present in his tower if they meet the following criteria:

The player has the required Archaeology level to receive the Ring of Solomon relic.
The Kal'gerion demon familiar has been shrunk to be less obstructive.
Fixes

Boosts (like life or prayer overheals)
Overhead prayers
Utility prayers
Invention perks

Interfaces
Search bars have been added to the Animations, Titles, Appearances and Pets tabs of the Customisations interface.

Fixes an issue where text regarding anima gained in Shattered Worlds wasn't showing the correct translation on non-English worlds.

Archaeology
You wouldn't believe how many mattocks you can burn through digging up a changelog around here. While we harden up our tools for more digging, why not check out what's new in Archaeology this week?

Changes
Material caches with quest requirements have had these requirements clarified in the Archaeology Skill Guide.
Removed the 'Check findings' option from the Archaeology research table as the 'Manage research notes' option rendered it redundant.
The Fortune perk will now prioritize sending Archaeology materials to the Material Storage over the Bank.
A wandering NPC took a wrong turn at Lumbridge market and found himself at Stormguard Citadel. He has been "dealt with".
Fixes
Fixed an issue where the perks Refined 4, Tinker 4 and Rapid 4 were not activating as often as they should.
Fixed an incorrect message that displayed when withdrawing from Archaeology Material Storage with a full Inventory.
Fixed an issue where an NPC was repeating the wrong dialogue after completing the Vault of Shadows mystery.
Fixed an issue that caused the Spear of Annihilation to be held incorrectly if it fully degraded whilst equipped.

Updated the wording of multiple settings and added checkboxes to improve user flow.

Starting Fairy Tale II - Cure a Queen will now set the quest to 'In progress' as expected.
The Drops window will no longer open when using the area loot keybind.
While attacking other NPCs, NPC melee damage was appearing with black font rather than white. This has been changed and should be easier to read.

Fixed some scrolling issues on Player owned Ports interfaces.
Players are no longer able to attack through a wall in the ravenous ghoul area.
We've resolved an issue that was causing crashes when opening the Anvil interface while Dungeoneering on a free-to-play world.

Corrected a typo in the Construction daily challenge.

PATCH NOTES 15th June 2020


Ninja Strike #6: Grand Exchange
Oh yes, it's clear the Ninjas came through here. There's dozens of empty ramen packets and more shurikens than we can count. Oh, and what's this? Why, it's a whole bunch of improvements! Let's take a closer look...

Core Improvements
Client side prediction has been added to the Grand Exchange interface.
This will result in a more responsive and smooth experience while using the interface, all of the various buttons, and the search function.
A 'Favourites' tab has been added to the Grand Exchange.
Items can be favourited by searching for an item in the tab, or by using the star icon when buying or selling an item.
Favourited items will show their guide price.
Items can be selected from here to take you directly to a buy offer.
Keybinds have been added to favourite an item when in the Buy or Sell interface.
Members can favourite 18 items, while free-to-play players can favourite six.
Players can now edit existing offers.
There is now an 'edit' button on the Overview page and within In-progress offers.
If you change your mind whilst editing an offer, you can cancel the edit and come back where you left off.
An 'edit' keybind has also been added, and can be accessed when viewing a live offer.
Note that editing an offer will reset your place in the offer queue.
+ and - 20% buttons for editing the buy/sell price have been added next to the current + and - 5% buttons.
The Overview interface has been adjusted for increased usability and readability.
There is now an Abort Offer option.
The wording for slots has been changed from 'Empty' to 'Slot X' and the words 'buy' and 'sell' have been added to the buttons for better usability.
Existing offers will show a number next to their buy or sell wording.
Current offers will now show their progress with a number.
The drop-shadow in the Current Offers box has been removed.
The Search Results window has been extended to show more results.
The selected item will now be highlighted with a yellow outline.
Any items you have in your favourites will also be marked with a yellow star icon.
Clicking outside of the Search Bar will no longer clear your results. They can be cleared with the 'X' button or the ESC key.
Additional Improvements
The 'Sets' right-click/long-press option on Grand Exchange clerks has been changed to 'Favourites'.
Sets can still be accessed via the interface or by talking to the clerks.
There have been various text changes and font size increases for better description and increased readability, especially on mobile.
The Inventory displayed on mobile when using the Grand Exchange has been changed to a 4x7 view.
Long item names, especially for translated languages, are now truncated with an ellipsis on the overview page to stop them breaking out of their boxes.
The Quantity, Price and Total Value boxes have been increased in size to better accommodate for translated languages.
The log in message which tells you about items in your collection box now has a 10 minute cooldown to reduce chat spam when hopping worlds.

Fixes
While working on this update, the Ninjas also fixed some live issues:

Clicking or tapping out of the Quantity and Price input boxes will now deselect them.
Dragging untradeable items to the Buy/Sell box on the Overview interface will no longer initiate an empty offer.
Right click options on the Overview interface that remained on-screen after using keybinds to buy/sell will no longer change the selected offer type.
On mobile, selecting the Price or Quantity boxes no longer moves the Search box, so you can now see what you're typing more clearly.

Mobile
While the Ninja Team haggled up a storm over in the Grand Exchange, our other teams have been hard at work too. This week they're focusing on RuneScape Mobile. From better indicators to text and interface fixes, the portable client is looking sharper than ever!

Improvements
Added a UI indicator if the Action Bar is locked on the Action Bar Settings cog.
Added location information when long-pressing a lodestone in the Home Teleport UI.
A Device Status panel has been added to the UI near the Compass and Minimap. This panel displays device status information to the user, including battery charge levels and connection status.
Added an additional setting in the Audio section on mobile that provides an independent toggle for audio streaming when using mobile data.
Further improvements have been made to improve the display of the Bank on mobile devices.
Fixes
Fixed an issue with text being cut off in the Music Player.
Fixed an issue with the UI overlays during the 'Song from the Depths' quest that caused them to overlap permanent parts of the top-level UI.
Fixed some issues with the Dungeoneering UI Party Member Inspect feature on the mobile client.
Fixed some issues on the Summoning Trade-in UI where large numbers of sprites would appear at once, causing FPS drops.
Fixed a small visual issue with the Notes interface when re-arranging notes on mobile.

Other
But that's not all we've got for you this week, oh no. Here are all the other tweaks and fixes coming your way!

Improvements
The messaging for damage dealt from each poison in Big Game Hunter now appears regardless of whether or not you skipped the cutscene.
The amount of damage dealt by each poison is now explained in the message, and each poison has a different text colour.
Protection prayers now have descriptions that match the effect they have when used by NPCs.
Char's training cave is now mentioned in the Skill Guide when reaching level 91 Firemaking.
Rainbow fish can now be used to feed animals in the Player Owned Farm - as long as they eat fish, that is.
The Ironman symbol will now correctly show up on world/global broadcast if you have your online status set to off.
The 'Eat Food' ability will now consume bandages within the Soul Wars minigame.
Updated banker dialogue to refer to their employers as a branch of the Bank of Gielinor instead of the Bank of RuneScape.
Improved the wording on the 'Armadylean Expert' and similar Archaeology Achievements.
Updated the museum guard's dialogue at the Archaeology Guild to better clarify the reduced rate of chronotes they offer compared to collectors.
Fixes
Fixed an issue that would cause the 'Inspect' option on ore boxes to cut off words if the chat character limit was reached.
Fixed the spacing within the Journal of Perjour in order to make the text more readable.
Fixed an issue where Zanik's body might not appear during Death to the Dorgeshuun if the player lost Dead Zanik and returned to it in Lumbridge.
Crafting molten glass will no longer state the wrong skill name in the Make-x progress window.
When setting 'Boric's Task I' to active via the Quest Guide, the breadcrumb trail will now lead to Boric.

Quick chat will now correctly display Slayer prestige for vile blooms.
Fixed an issue with making bombs at a portable well.

PATCH NOTES 22nd June 2020


Archaeology
Let's dig back in to Archaeology. This week there's a bunch of changes to RuneScape's newest skill!

Players can now swap Inquisitor staff pieces with Soran for 10 million coins each. Use the piece you wish to trade on Soran to begin the exchange.
To help reduce misclicks on mobile, a 'Makeshift Pie Oven' archaeology excavation in the Warforge has been moved away from the furnaces in the area.
Fixed an issue that allowed the spear of annihilation to be donated to the Museum donation bin, if the player hadn't used it.
The special move of the Kal'gerion demon now lasts 15 seconds, up from 9.6 second.
The slayer introspection relic power will now correctly work with the slayer master cape as well as slayer masks.
Players who have destroyed or lost a charged shadow engrammeter can now reclaim one that is already charged (from Dr Nabanik at Kharid-et), though will need to destroy any depleted shadow engrammeters they may have previously reclaimed.

Other
Let's not forget the rest of the teams, who've also been working hard on the following improvements!

Confirmation warnings now appear when attempting to teleport into the wilderness with Dareeyak, Annarkarl, Ghorrock,ice plateau and and tele-group ice plateau teleport spells, in-line with other wilderness entry teleports.
Removed a force walk tile from a tent in Al Kharid.
Added blocking to Gowers farm gate so you can no longer walk through it.
Pillar in ruins nearby to Pavosaurus rex can no longer be walked through.
The new version of Masuta's warspear has been changed from a slashing weapon to a stabbing weapon to better match its used counterpart.
Igneous Jadinkos near Laniakiea will no longer spawn behind a tree root and get stuck.

Fixes
The worst part about summertime is all the bugs. Luckily for us, our talented devs are squashing as many as they can!

Resolved an issue that was causing the players client to crash and displaying the error "One or more arguments are invalid (2147483651)". Users may still experience this error or the error "The instructions at 0x%p referenced memory at 0x%p. The memory could not be %s. (c0000005)". This is a separate issue and will be fixed in an upcoming client update.
Fixed an issue that was preventing players from changing their login screen background.
Fixed an issue that was preventing the currency pouch from re-opening on login if the player had the pouch open before logging out.
Fixed height map issue between Ardougne Monastery and Tower of life.
Fixed graphical issues with Manhole near Varrock.
Fixed sunken tile in the Underground pass area.
Fixed an issue that would prevent players from ending dungeoneering floors from some tiles near the dungeon end gate.
Fixed an issue with the Off-hand drygore longsword (blood) that was causing the item to appear pink rather than red.

PATCH NOTES 29th June 2020


Ninja Strike #7 - Tier 92 Armour
Cheaper armour repairs? Easier upgrades? The Ninjas have really gone to town this week!

Tier 92 Elite Sirenic & Tectonic Armour
Tier 92 Elite Armours can now be repaired at much cheaper rates.

Players can now create a 'Repair Patch' that will partially repair their T92 Sirenic and Tectonic armours.
The following materials are required for an Elite Sirenic repair patch:
7x ancient scales
1x sirenic scale
2x winterwold wool
2x black stone hearts
The following materials are required for an Elite Tectonic repair patch:
7x draconic energy
1x tectonic energy
2x summerdown wool
2x black stone hearts
Fully repairing armour will require:
2x repair patches for a helm
6x repair patches for a body
4x repair patches for legs
Additionally, if an armour piece is augmented, each repair patch will require 6x divine charges.
Following the repair changes, the creation of T92 Elite armours now includes new 'praesulic essences' similar to those required for Masterwork armour.
Praesulic essence has been split into praesulic essence (melee), praesulic essence (ranged) and praesulic essence (magic).
10x praesulic essence (ranged) will be required for a full set of Elite Sirenic.
10x praesulic essence (magic) will be required for a full set of Elite Tectonic.
These praesulic essences can be acquired by breaking down Pernix, Virtus and Torva gear at the Dragonkin Forge for Ranged, Magic and Melee essence respectively.
It's now possible to upgrade augmented T90 Sirenic and Tectonic armour to T92 as long as they are at 95% degradation or above. This includes dyed armour.
To upgrade augmented armours, right-click/long-press on ancient scales or draconic energy and 'use' them on the armours.
Degrade-to-dust armours (T90 & T92) will now drop the correct amount of their primary ingredient, relative to charge remaining, when you are killed in the Wilderness.
A tooltip has been added to the Elite Armours explaining their set effect, which negates degradation in Elite Dungeons.
When repairing armours, the degradation state is now shown at two decimal places for accuracy.
Messaging when attempting to use an Augmentor on degrade-to-dust armours is now more descriptive.
Using a repair patch on fully-charged, but previously worn, T92 armour pieces can 'overcharge' them back to a new tradeable state.
When making T90 and T92 Ranged or Magic armour, the Make-x screen will now default to a quantity of one, to avoid accidentally making too many copies of one equipment piece.
Fixed various inconsistencies with using T90/92 ingredients on each other. All of them should now prompt a Make-x interface if they are used to create the same item.

Grand Exchange - Further Improvements
Un-favouriting a favourite item in the Grand Exchange interface will no longer completely hide the Favourites interface.
In the Grand Exchange interface, the 'buy' and 'sell' text will no longer show on slots on that are unavailable in free-to-play.
Tooltips will once again be shown for the elements on the Collection Box interface.
A '+Lim' button has been added to the quantity section of buy offers on the Grand Exchange. Each press of this button will add the 4-hour limit quantity to the current offer quantity.
Players will no longer encounter mysterious Dwarf Remains when collecting items and placing further buy offers in the Grand Exchange.

Other Improvements
The Wicked Hood has had several improvements that also affect the Ethereal outfit.
The amount of teleport charges has been increased from 30 to 250.
The first option on the Wicked Hood can now be configured so to either 'Activate' or 'Previous teleport', which allows for teleportation via the Action Bar.
The 'Previous teleport' option now states which altar you'll be taken to.
Withdrawing essences is now faster.
Withdrawing runes now prompts the player with an input box where they can use all their charges at once.
Info-boxes have been added in various places for better and more descriptive messaging.
The Runecrafting Guild teleport is now more appropriately named.
All Skillcapes, Master Skillcapes, and Expert Capes now have a right-click/long press 'Emote' option when the item is worn. This includes the Max Cape but not the Completionist Capes due to lack of space for menu options.
Super Prayer potions are now tradeable.
1 to 4 dose vials and 6 dose flasks can now be traded on the Grand Exchange.
Players can also request-assist to create them.
The Skeletal Horror teleport can now be used an unlimited number of times, instead of just weekly.
Buff and Debuff Bar icons now have less of a delay in showing their tooltips.

Other
It's not just the Ninja Team who've been keeping busy this week...

Augmented Masterwork armour and Augmented Trimmed Masterwork armour will now drop the corresponding broken piece of armour upon death in the Wilderness instead of dropping nothing.
Luminite Injectors cannot be dropped and must be destroyed.

PATCH NOTES 6th July 2020


Archaeology
The dust might might be starting to settle on RuneScape's newest skill, but there's still some divine work to be done!

When completely filling an empty divine charge using the Divine-O-Matic Vacuum, excess energy will now flow into the next empty divine charge, instead of being wasted.
Players using an uncharged Divine-O-Matic Vacuum with an active Divine Conversion relic power will now receive the correct amount of energy when converting memories at an energy rift.
Additional messaging has been added when completing Art Critic Jacques' collections to indicate that replica pieces of art can be displayed in the Guild Office.
Some Archaeology materials have been added to Archaeology Research and Tetracompass loot tables for better distribution.

On Mobile:
The Buff and Debuff Bars have been relocated from the top of the interface layout to the bottom, above the Combat HUD. They have also been made marginally smaller.
The 'Extra Action' button (currently used for the Solak encounter) has been repositioned to sit above the combat HUD. It will now move to account for the toggling of combat mode action bars.
The Ribbon Settings/Setup UI has been moved and tied to the game's main Settings interface as its own tab (users can still access the interface from the existing button located on the Custom Ribbon itself).
