Full Documentation

Suity's mining and smithing guide

Mining - Core Skill

Reduced level requirement to mine iron, coal, mithril, adamant and runite to 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 respectively.

Adamant and runite now use luminite rather than coal as the secondary ingredient for smelting. Luminite can be mined at mining level 40.

Added new tiers of ore to mine. At 60, orichalcite and drakolith. At 70, necrite and phasmatite. At 80, bane ore (existing bane ore counts). At 90, light animica and dark animica.

All mining sites have been rearranged to include the new ores. The world map now shows what rocks are available at each mining site.

Mining rocks no longer deplete.

Every swing now gives XP, but ore is only earned after filling up the progress bar with multiple swings.

Mining using a pick which is lower level than the rock being mined now results in slower XP and ore.

Rockertunities will spawn occasionally which, when clicked, result in a burst of additional XP and ore.

If you let yourself go AFK while mining, you will gradually slow down slightly. If you click frequently, you will stay at maximum mining speed. The difference between fastest and slowest is about 20%.

When mining you have a chance to gain geodes. Regular geodes contain gems, and metamorphic geodes always contain rare prizes.

When levelling mining, you unlock new benefits at every level. Most of these benefits apply only to that tier of rocks.

You can make an ore box using the smithing skill. Depending on its upgrade level, it can store up to 100 of each ore.

Ore and bars can be stored in the new metal bank which is accessible from any furnace, forge or anvil.

Smithing - Core Skill

Reduced level requirement to smith iron, steel, mithril, adamant and rune to 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 respectively.

Added new tiers of metal to smith. At 60, orikalkum. At 70, necronium. At 80, bane. At 90, elder rune.

Adamant and rune now use luminite rather than coal as the secondary ingredient for smelting.

Smithed items now take longer to make, which makes each individual item more valuable.

Within a metal tier, the XP/bar and XP/hour is consistent across all items.

You can speed up the rate at which you smith items by making sure they're heated up. Hotter items smith faster, so you get more XP/hr (although not more XP/bar).

Smithed items can be upgraded. This makes them better in combat, and gives faster XP/hr than just making base items. Higher level metals can be upgraded more times.

From adamant, items which have been upgraded to the maximum for that metal can be taken to the artisan's workshop and made into burial equipment. This destroys the item but gives the fastest possible XP/hr.

You unlock all smithable items when the tier of metal unlocks, but at every smithing level you unlock new benefits for smithing. Most of these only apply to that tier of metal.

Ore and bars can be stored in the new metal bank which is accessible from any furnace, forge or anvil.

Smithing - Special Smithable Items

At level 90, smiths can make untradeable armour spikes to use in combat. These are consumables which go in the ammo slot (or backpack) and deal damage to enemies that hit you from adjacent tiles.

At level 99 smithing, smiths can make masterwork armour. This is level 90 power armour which only requires materials from mining to make.

At level 99 smithing, smiths can upgrade masterwork armour into trimmed masterwork armour. This is level 92 power armour and requires some components that can only be obtained through PVM.


Mining - Tools

Your pickaxe level matters a lot - higher level pickaxes mine faster, and if you're not using a pickaxe at least as high level as the rock you're mining, you get a penalty.

Pickaxes can be smithed as high as level 90, but smithable pickaxes can't be augmented.

You can combine the crystal pickaxe with the imcando pickaxe using a blast fusion hammer to make a level 90 augmentable pickaxe.

You can add and remove any pickaxe (except bronze and augmented) from the toolbelt.

PVM, Drops & Value

The alch value of existing smithable gear has been reduced to accommodate the new smithing level.

All smithable items on drop tables have been replaced with new "salvage" items which alch for what the smithable items used to alch for.

The spring cleaner has two new modes which can auto-alch and auto-dissassemble salvage drops.

All ore and bars have been replaced with consumable "stone spirits" which double ore yields when carried while mining.

All existing smithable gear of at least steel quality is replaced with tokens, which can then be used in the artisan's workshop to purchase your choice of either gear or salvage depending on whether you want to use it or alch it.

Artisan's Workshop

The artisan's workshop basement has been removed, along with most of the alternate training methods.

The artisan's workshop now has regular anvils, and all smithing done there awards respect.

Luminite injector items can be used at the artisan's workshop to give everyone there a 5% smithing bonus.

Ceremonial swords is now a D&D which has a chance to occur on finishing any item while in the artisan's workshop.

Some artisan's workshop respect rewards have been changed.

Invention

Smithable items are probably no longer worth disassembling due to the time they take to make.

New salvage drops are intended to be alched or disassembled and will be a source of components.

Breakdown perk no longer disassembles the smithed item - instead it has a chance to award components as if the item were disassembled.

Furnace perk still increases XP gain and reduces ore gain.

Honed perk now increases chance for double ore when mining.

Rapid perk now smiths faster, but causes heat to be lost faster.

Refined perk now increases geode chance when mining.

Tinker perk now increases chance for double progress when smithing.

Other content

Bane melee weapons and armour can be tuned against some targets using special recipes accessible at the anvil. These recipes do not require completion of Ritual of the Mahjarrat. Bane ammunition still requires ROTM to make.

Gem rocks have been split into multiple tiers with different drop tables. Which gems drop at which sites is visible on the world map.

Seren stones are largely unchanged and will remain the best AFK mining method. They still drop corrupted ore. As core ores are now more valuable, Seren stones may be less useful.

The coal bag has been removed and refunded.

The autoheater is a new dungeoneering token reward which consumes coal to automatically reheat your smithing item, allowing for faster AFK rates.

The collector's insignia now increases geode chance and increases the chance for double ore when mining sandstone.

Varrock armour now increases the chance for double bars when smelting, for double ore when mining and for double progress when smithing. Higher levels of the armour work on higher level metals.

New varrock armour doubles the effectiveness of varrock armour, and allows its mining and smithing benefits to work without wearing the armour.

Luck enhancers (ring of wealth, etc) now increase the chance for geodes to upgrade to metamorphic geodes.

Quarrymaster aura now increases the chance to critically swing when mining.

Resourceful aura now increases the chance to find geodes when mining and increases the chance to get double ore when mining sandstone.

Divine location rocks have had their divination requirements lowered to match the new mining requirements. Divine luminite has been added, but higher tier divine locations have not been added at this time.

Strong smelting urns only work up to level 70. A new decorated smelting urn has been added which works up to 99.

Juju mining potions now have a chance to give free stone spirits when mining. (Stone spirits double ore yield.) Perfect juju mining potions make mining faster when using stone spirits.

Perfect juju smithing potions increase the chance for double progress when smithing.

Two new items, iron ingots and steel ingots have been added. These are made at the furnace and are used in place of platebodies when making iron and steel titan summoning pouches.

The mining accumulator now gains charge whenever the player gets a critical swing when mining.

When mining, crystallise now only works on core mining rocks. It prevents ore from dropping, and adds 20% additional mining XP as long as the player is not AFK.

Light form doubles the effect of crystallise from 20% to 40%.

Superheat item, as well as smelting ore, can be cast on smithing items to heat them up.

Superheat form no longer automatically smelts ore when mining. Instead, it reduces the time taken to smelt bars, and increases the amount by which heat speeds up smithing.

Skillchompas can be used in addition to a mining pick, and increase the damage dealt by critical swings.

Rock-crushing scrimshaw now increases chance for a critical swing when mining.

Gem-finding scrimshaw now increases the chance to find geodes when mining.

Mining familiars now increase the damage the player deals to rocks when mining.

Crystal hammer now increases the chance for double progress when smithing.

The nymph in the lava flow mine now spawns more frequently and consistently.

The blast furnace only works up to rune. Ordan no longer sells ore, but no longer charges to unnote ore.

Trahaearn hour causes random level 90 animica rocks to spawn on each world, requiring worlds to be searched for a good pattern. In addition all mining has a higher chance for double ore, and smelting corrupted ore gives more XP.

Ithell hour now gives a chance for soft clay mined to be put straight into the bank.

The empty throne room is now the primary site for dark animica ore. The previous mining activity has been removed. The agility and divination activities are unchanged, except it is no longer necessary to refill the boxes at all.

The gemstone golem outfit now increases the chance to get a critical swing when mining, and the magic outfit makes rockertunities more effective.

The blacksmith's outfit can now be purchased directly from the artisan's workshop respect store.

The modified blacksmith's helmet now increases the chance of getting double ore when smelting. It can be purchased from the artisan's workshop respect store.

Portable forges have been replaced with luminite injectors, which can be used at the artisan's workshop to give a group buff. Your existing portable forges have been turned back into portable packs, so you can choose to gain the new luminite injectors if you want them, or instead choose a different portable.

Protean bars ignore the new smithing mechanics. They give slightly higher XP at high level (to make up for the loss of portable forges) but slightly lower XP at low level.

Starfury armour how increases the chance to get a critical swing when mining Seren stones.

Dragon armour is now power armour.

The mining skillcape now increases the chance to gain double ore, and awards bonus XP whenever double ore is gained.

The smithing skillcape gives a smithing buff whenever the item is reheated. This is especially effective (but expensive) with the superheat item spell.


Other

Added some safety checks to some cutscene script in Violet is Blue. (HOTFIX)

Players should no longer be disconnected when attempting to complete the 'A bit TOO familiar' achievement.

You can now use an Uncharted Isle's resources, should you decide to visit an uncharted isle after visiting a friend's island.

Fixed an issue which disconnected the player from the game when trying to summon a pet which is no longer owned.

The temporary Christmas event content has now been removed.

A limit of how many urns could be teleported away at once was causing players that attempted to teleport more than this amount to disconnect - this has now been resolved.

Mithril Bars will no longer give the "Nothing interesting happens" message when using Enchanted Notepaper on them.

Players with an expired 6 month Summer Special 2018 membership once again have access to the fourth winter rewards chest at the Grand Exchange.

The examine text for the firefly jar in Violet is Blue has been changed to be less confusing.

The holiday portal now directs you to the correct location.

The bonfire in the yeti town will now work when interacting with it from the east side.

The snow imp can now be summoned from the ice amulet in the land of snow Yeti town.

The Snowman building rest animation will now correctly show the snowman in the preview screen within the Customisations interface.

Seren Spirits will now be visible when sharing a tile with other actors.

The legacy map icons toggle will no longer be reverted on logout.

Dying in a PvP scenario with a small rune pouch should no longer cause the dead player to disconnect.

Hmmm. This leaves a lot of questions unanswered: what about the stuff in our banks? How will it affect current armor? current levels? I had thought, from the advance info I looked at that this would pretty much apply to people still gaining levels in smithing and mining, but I see that it sort of seeps through the whole game. A new learning curve here, even if I am not minging/smithing. I never liked them and thought that once I got the 99 I would only need them for JOT. Not so anymore, it seems.

The wiki is still being worked on, Suity's wiki guide is very informative (link at top of page) anything in your bank that is now obsolete has been replaced by tokens, and premier members got a flyer from the chests in Varrock GE to exchange for various mining stuff to start everyone off. It will take a bit for the GE prices to level off but once you've read the guide etc it's not as complicated as it looks.

This means that bosses phase correctly when they reach their HP threshold and mechanics that rely on damage to progress (such as Telos' tendrils or Vorago's pushback phases (Phase 5 - Normal Mode, Phase 10/11 - Hard Mode)) will now take the additional damage from the modifiers into the equation.

An issue that could cause players to not be able to properly transition into phase 4 if a member of the team died and created their own Solak instance has been resolved.

Solak duo mode and group mode kill times now display separately in the Beasts tab, and can be broadcasted separately. Duo mode falls under (HM).

PATCH NOTES 4th February 2019


Player Owned Farm

Added an "Old Mc" title for completing the POF breeding log (talk to Sam the sheepdog to unlock it).

Baby shakes at the player owned farm will now buy unwanted farm animals for beans at an amount based on their significance (e.g shiny).

Shiny animals now count as a wildcard for trait requests when selling to player owned farm NPC buyers, on top of the existing breed wildcard.

Added a "Don't ask me again" option to the warning for removing unharvested animals from Player Owned Farm.

Granny Potterington now sells the ability to unlock farm animal indicators to help determine whether something is diseased or has produce to gather.

Elite farmer hats can now be used to teleport or receive items if the player owns the master farmer hat.

Players can now teleport out of the player owned farm pens.


Mining & Smithing

Updated the quickchat phrases for mining and smithing.

Smelting gauntlets count as Blacksmith's gloves when wearing the Blacksmith's outfit.

Mining Red/Crystal Sandstone now has maximum stamina and does not reduce your stamina, so that your mining rate will not steadily reduce while emptying it. It, therefore, does not count toward the "My Sick Four Tick Trick" achievement to maintain nearly maximum stamina.

Mining specific game settings have now been moved from "game interaction" into their own section.

Teleporting multiple decorated smelting urns at once, now works as expected.

A large banite rock built into the west and east cliff faces at the mining site north-east of Rellekka were misbehaving, and have been demoted to empty rocks. A pair of smaller recruits have set vigil over their doomed predecessors.

A couple of banite rocks have been removed from the Jatizso dungeon mine, to better compete with the primary site.

The outer banite rocks in the glacor cavern have depleted, to make it a more attractive proposition compared to the primary banite site.

Multiple dark animica rocks surrounding the Empty Throne have been removed, to cluster rockertunities in the area.

Mining rocks in the mining guild are now less spread out. This also addresses an exploit on one of the orichalcite rocks.

Fixed an issue where rockertunities on 2x2 mining rocks were sometimes at a lower height than intended.

Smithing interface will now show the correct amount of xp given for each item.

The Furnace perk will no longer work when mining with an augmented tool (and relevant perk) equipped that isn't a pickaxe.

The Artisan's Workshop Reward Shop now mentions Egil in the tooltips for Cannons rather than Elof

Making a demonic sigil will now correctly use a silver bar.

Players are no longer able to use the Edgeville furnace by using Mining & Smithing items on it if they haven't completed the 'Easy' Varrock tasks.

Ore boxes no longer autofill noted ores - you can still use the noted ores on the ore box to store them if you wish.

Removed a 2x2 phasmatite rock in the wilderness that was too far south of the other rocks to trigger rockertunities.

Veliaf Hurtz still mentioned that Rune boots could be obtained as drop from nechryaels during 'In Memory of the Myreque'. This has been changed to say that player needs to make rune armoured boots.

The make-X counter banner now correctly updates to "Smithing" when folding masterwork bars.

Soft clay now works with divination porters when mined from the Ithell district in Prifddinas.

Smelting 'perfect' gold has the correct animation.


Mobile

Fixed an issue with the mobile NPC chat that caused it to be compacted into the middle of the screen sometimes when speaking with an NPC.

Fixed an issue on mobile, when swapping from revolution combat to legacy combat the revolution bar (at the bottom) was not hidden. The main bar (the larger one) remains in legacy combat as you can use it for skilling.

Fixed an issue on mobile when interacting with a diseased plant on the Livid Farm the side panel interface would not open automatically.

Fixed an issue where the first letter of your first word would be omitted if you sent a private message.

Fixed an issue with the clan motto editor and the clan thread ID sections of the clan management and settings interface, the on-screen keyboard was not being called automatically when these interfaces were opened.

Fixed an issue that caused certain parts of the mobile interface to display with the legacy art style (from the legacy interface skin setting).

Removed a blocking layer that was intended to dismiss the keyboard on the login screen as it was causing users to have to double tap parts of the UI (as the first tap dismissed the keyboard). iOS remains unchanged.

Fixed the puzzle box interface on mobile devices so that the puzzle can be completed correctly.

We have also made the following changes to improve interaction with this interface on both clients.

The "Check" button now shows a message box letting the user know how many tiles are correct and which are not, or if you have completed the puzzle.

The "Toggle keyboard invert" has been removed on mobile only.

The "Hint" button is now a toggle so that you are able to view the hint for as long as you need.

The mobile action bar now functions as it did once before, you can now use all of your abilities and swap between each half of the bar without fear it of it breaking.

Please be aware that there are a few minor issues when swapping the bars, we're working hard to fix these


Achievements

The "For the Love of Mabel" achievement will now show when it has been completed.

The 'Ivan is flailing' achievement completion can no longer be triggered multiple times.

The 'Last of the summer swine' achievement completion can no longer be triggered multiple times.

The 'Imping around' achievement completion can no longer be triggered multiple times.

The 'Famous' achievement completion can no longer be triggered multiple times.

11 duplicated divination achievements in the skills lists that were awarding bonus runescore have been removed.


Other

Modified botanist's mask will now give the entire 200 vials in one go as intended (when the required number of outfit pieces are owned).

Modified shaman's headdress and diviner's headwear will now give the correct number of items.

Modified first age tiara will no longer check the number of herblore outfit pieces instead of prayer outfit pieces owned.

It is no longer possible to obtain the Stone of Jas boost if unsuccessfully teleporting to the Glacor cave via the portable fairy ring.

Hidey-hole level requirements will now be shown in the construction skill guide under the "other" category.

Ironmen will now be given a reason as to why they cannot access treasure hunter via the calendar. It's because they're an ironman btw.

Login message prompts from wishes can no longer incorrectly message on each login

An easy clue scroll pertaining to East Ardougne is now slightly clearer - but only slightly.

When attempting to clean herbs from the Heblore Habitat, the make-x interface confirm button will now properly read clean rather than mix.

An easy clue scroll pertaining to the Fremennik Province is now slightly clearer - but only slightly.

PATCH NOTES 11th February 2019


Mobile

We have updated the interfaces in Player-Owned Ports to use the modern interface style.

Updated the Flash Powder Factory reward shop interface to use the modern reward shop style.

Updated the Duel Arena interfaces to use the modern interface frame style.

Further updates to older dungeoneering interfaces have been completed. This includes the Floor Select, Complexity Select, Floor Setting, Boss Select and Ring Customization interfaces.


Other

Switching weapons quickly will now auto-switch to the correct action bar.

Increased the damage threshold that spawns Manifestations on Solak phase 4, so that they don't spawn so frequently.

Worn Tetsu can no longer be traded.

The Amare Pumps (Purple) should now appropriately be visible on the wardrobe

Twitch prime loot will no longer get delivered whilst inside the broken home quest

If you have a full inventory when claiming Twitch Prime it will now also show an info box to to better display the info needed

The slider puzzle in a clue scroll will now update reliably

Gorajo team cards now work properly for Dungeoneering.

Caviar can again be used to make barbarian mixed potions.

The quest journal now has next and previous buttons to cycle through previously viewed quests.

The hitpoints of gem rocks have been reduced.

Depositing full superior death lotus to the PoH Armour case via the bank will will no longer delete the boots & gloves when reclaiming.

Fixed an issue where you could not mine living rock remains another player has killed after the one minute timer.

If destroyed after retrieving it from Zemouregal's pedestal in New Varrock, heart in a canopic jar can now be reclaimed from Ernie.

Using a farm animal on the paddock entrance will no longer cause a disconnection.

Trapper farmhands will no longer occasionally be unresponsive when interacted with.

Dwarven miners in the Empty Throne Room have now heard about the rework to the Mining & Smithing rework, and should no longer flail madly at the place where dark animica rocks used to be.

Removing animals from the storm barn can no longer cause a disconnection.

Corrected values of (kp) spears in relation to their base variant.

Custom fit masterwork armour checks for being on reaper or slayer task have been tightened and should no longer degrade whilst on these tasks.

Fixed an issue with Solak's kill timer not tracking and settings records correctly.



Quests

With this update, the quest system has had a script cleanup which has made things much nicer, additionally you're now able to do the following!

Note: Big shout-out to the Localisation team, who over the last few months steadily worked through the *quarter of a million* word count this project added to the translation system due to all the migrated data.

Quest List

The quest list can now be sorted by:

the area where you start the quest. (eg Lumbridge, Draynor, etc.)

release date. Within a year they are listed in the order they were released.

fifth/sixth/ambiguous age. Within an age they are listed in the order they were released.

combat difficulty. (Into bands of highest NPC combat level.)

quest series. (Myreque, Pirate, etc.) They're in approximate chronological order.

timeline. (For those that want to complete the quests in roughly chronological order (5th age before 6th age, banded by difficulty).

The quest list now displays names in proper alphabetical order to match their position in the list. eg "Lost Tribe, The" instead of "The Lost Tribe".

Missing quest list entries for the Recipe for Disaster subquests have been added. These are hidden in the quest list anyway, but it allows them to be referenced by other systems eg achievements.


Quest Overview/Accept/Complete Screen

The following information has been added to quest overviews: quest series and episode (where applicable), age, release year, recommended, voice-acted, members, length.

Rewards are now listed on the quest accept screen and quest complete screen in a consistent manner.

Quest rewards that the player will not be given (such as combat lamps and Treasure Hunter keys on a repeat playthrough after a quest skill/pure reset) are no longer displayed on the quest accept/complete screen.


Quest Start Icons

Fixed a persistent bug where the most recent quest start icon couldn't be removed from the world map if you toggle off quest icons.


Quest Guidance

The Latest Content lozenge on the Featured tab in Adventures now has a consistent automated breadcrumb strategy when the latest content is a quest.

The Set Active feature of the quest journal can now consistently breadcrumb to the start point of almost all unstarted quests. The button now also has a distinctive look when toggled between active and inactive states.

The quest point shop portal previously just teleported you to the start of the latest quest without warning. It now checks the requirements for the latest quest and notifies you of where you'll be teleported.


Other

Fixed various typos and inconsistencies in quest items, reward text, quest complete headings, and quest journals.

Improved dialogue of Ilona who replaces Xenia at Lumbridge catacombs after Heart of Stone (her dialogue hadn't changed to account for being a different character).

Removed 6th age dialogue on the dwarf king in Birthright of the Dwarves and made the quest ambiguous age.

Ikadia the exile's 6th age dialogue topics now only appear after you've completed Birthright of the Dwarves.

Removed 6th age dialogue on King Lathas in Plague's End and made the quest ambiguous age.

Changed 6th age dialogue (World Guardian reference) in Beneath Cursed Tides to only appear if completed the World Wakes, and made the quest ambiguous age.

Re-classified the age of various other quests in collaboration with players.

Added suggested requirements of Nomad's Requiem and Nadir (unabridged) saga to Dishonour Among Thieves.

Added suggested requirement of Dishonour Among Thieves to Evil Dave's Big Day Out.

Added suggested requirements of Rune Mechanics (because Kipple is a rune guardian and a player felt strongly about this) and Fate of the Gods (because elder gods for the same reason) to Heart of Stone.


While Guthix Sleeps

While Guthix Sleeps currently has several requirements intended to increase its prestige at the time, but which aren’t needed for any narrative or mechanical reason. Inflated requirements make it difficult for us to build on existing stories, and many more Grandmasters have since been created, so this project trims back the requirements to what the quest truly requires.

Removed the following redundant requirements from While Guthix Sleeps: 270 QP, Mourning's End II, Recipe for Disaster, Summer's End, Swan Song, Zogre Flesh Eaters.

Added Wanted! as a requirement to While Guthix Sleeps, as it's needed to talk to Sir Tiffy and be redirected to Akrisae.

Added Nature Spirit recommended quest (for druid pouch recharge to make Ancient Guthix Temple puzzle easier).

Added a 25 Agility req to While Guthix Sleeps, as you need it to jump onto the roof of Lucien's chaos temple. (Defender of Varrock / Legends' Quest ensure you'll have 50+ Agility anyway, but added for safety's sake.)

Updated a requirements check on Radimus Erkle when starting Guthix Sleep which was inconsistent with the quest's requirements. (The check for access to the Warriors' Guild now passes if you have 99 Attack or 99 Strength.)

The option on Ivy Sophista to continue 'While Guthix Sleeps' is now clearly marked, instead of being an 'Other' topic.

Improved the hinting from Reldo to find the hunting expert in the jungle north of Oo'glog.

You now have a knife on your toolbelt, so removed the message that says you need a knife when you need logs to set up a pitfall trap.

Thaerisk was charging over 20,000 for his snapdragon seed. Set the price to a fixed value of 100 coins.

Corrected Required Items in quest overview screen to more accurately reflect what items are needed.

Removed this post-quest dialogue from Idria: “You should be proud...Since our lord Armadyl has returned to Gielinor, and defended himself against the murderous intentions of Bandos, such unity is more important and more fitting than ever before!” Since Idria dies during RotM, she cannot know about the Bird and the Beast event in the Sixth Age.

The elite Khazard guards in Movario’s base are aggressive again, as was the case pre-EoC.

Graphically updated the version of Turael recruited into the ground-floor octagonal room east of Akrisae in Falador castle during While Guthix Sleeps.


Children of Mah

This Grandmaster Sixth Age quest is required for Sliske’s Endgame, and currently requires Koschei’s Troubles, a miniquest which requires Ritual of the Mahjarrat, a Grandmaster which requires most Fifth Age quests.

This effectively means that Sliske’s Endgame requires most of the Fifth Age, defeating the point of starting a new age to reduce pre-requisites. To resolve this:

A 6th age version of Kharshai has been added at the tip of the frozen area north of Rellekka, a reasonable distance from Koschei’s area, and a player can start Children of Mah by talking to him if they meet the quest’s requirements.

Due to Balmung, Kharshai is associated with bane weapons, and when the Mining & Smithing project is released, this will be the primary banite mining area. He may also be used as the tutor for tuning bane weapons.

Koschei’s Troubles is now a recommended instead of required quest for Children of Mah. You can still start the quest and access his dialogue from Kharshai in Rellekka as before.

Updated Children of Mah’s quest journal where it refers to Kharshai’s location.

Kharshai now offers to teleport the player into the ritual site instance (which if you haven’t completed Ritual of the Mahjarrat is the only way to access the ritual marker). Clicking the ritual marker returns you to Kharshai if you haven’t unlocked the ritual site.

PATCH NOTES 4th March 2019


Mobile

Fixed an issue with the "Report Offensive Player Examine" option within the player report interface. It is now passed through the correct flow that asks if you wish to temporarily ignore the player.

We have also fixed an issue that this system could fire off a report even if the player had no information in their My Examine, these things combined both help to combat these reports being spammed / false reports.

Fixed some double spacing issues with text on Tutorial Island.

Fixed a variety of colour highlights on text around the game to make it more visible on the mobile client.

You can now view the Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy and Software Licence from the login screen.

The following changes have been made to the bug reporter to improve it's usability on both PC and mobile clients.

We have split the two fields, Description and Reproduction Steps into two screens. The intention behind this is that on mobile, the on-screen keyboard would cover the bottom text entry box so splitting them into two resolves this
.
As part of the above, we have relocated the remaining characters counter to the top of the entry

As it is now split into multiple screens, there are now additional navigation buttons to allow you to go back and make a change to your report if you require it.

Fixed an issue that was not disabling access to the "Hide title bars when locked" setting under interface customization. This was causing an issue that showed title bars for interfaces (such as Backpack & Worn etc...) in legacy mode.

Fixed an issue that caused an FPS drop when viewing the Ports Captain's Log on an Android.

Fixed an issue on mobile that was preventing tooltips for the legendary pet special abilities from displaying. You can now view these by long pressing on the icon (similar to combat abilities).

Updated an old style frame and button on the Hefin Cathedral shop interface when you need to confirm your cleansing crystal purchase.

We have done more work to fix the issue where your NPC chat and multiple choice dialogues could end up squashed into the middle of the screen.

We thought we had resolved this but thanks to the efforts of you awesome beta testers we have managed to get a more accurate reproduction on the issue and resolved it!

Fixed an issue in the POP crew recruit interface that was not clearing your previous selection highlight on mobile.

We have made some further improvements to the mini-menu navigation and scrolling. You should notice the mini-menu is less likely to close when you are trying to navigate, and also you are less likely to lift your finger early and select something prematurely.

We need loading screens on the mobile client, as a result the following changes have been made to make sure they are doing what they are designed to do.

The graphics option to disable loading screens has been removed on mobile. PC is unchanged.

The option to disable loading screens (from within a loading screen) has been removed.

The following changes have been made to the Screen Sizing section of the graphics options to improve

Renamed 'resizable' to 'windowed' (alongside the removal of "fixed") this reflects an established PC standard naming convention. 'Fullscreen' is unchanged.

The resolution drop down field was only relevant when in 'fullscreen', to reflect this, the drop down has been placed within the 'fullscreen' button.

PC specific terminology has been removed from these descriptions, in favour of more ambiguous terms, so that it is mobile compliant.

Fixed Window restricts the game size to be 800x600 (4:3 aspect), a feature only used by 1% of NXT and Java players. In the future, we want to fully support 16:9 as our new standard for both desktop and mobile, which adds unnecessary complication to the code if we keep supporting Fixed Window mode. From today's update, this option has been removed from the game.

Fixed an issue that was causing a line of pixels on the side of certain Ports interfaces on mobile.


Other

Chargebows now take into account arrows equipped or held in an equipped quiver, so special effects like those of dragonbane and black stone arrows can be used with them. Damage will be reduced to the lowest tier of the arrow or chargebow. Chargebows will work as usual when no arrows or another type of ammunition is held in the ammo slot.

Using an augmentation dissolver on ice dyed Drygore weapons will no longer remove the dye from the weapon.

Fixed a mobile issue with the Grand Exchange Buy Item display. Also resolved an issue with the mobile on-screen keyboard in the Grand Exchange (and some other text search fields).

Players will no longer be kicked to the login screen when talking to Wizard Mizgog under certain circumstances and not accepting the Imp Catcher quest.

Fixed an issue where the quest overview for Regicide was displaying it as complete a step too soon. If you're having trouble starting Roving Elves, first speak to King Lathas to complete Regicide.

Some legacy code at the start of the Devious Minds quest has been tidied up.

Fixed an issue where accepting the Desert Treasure quest skipped a couple of initial quest states.

Friend broadcasts will no longer always appear in the colour selected for world broadcasts.

Added some inventory checks when smithing various items.
Players will once again receive an error message when trying to mine a rock higher than their mining level, and can once again use boosts to mine rocks above their mining level.
You will no longer receive chat messages about making progress towards achievement 'It's Mine! All mine!' after it is completed.

Tier 3 Urns have been renamed to Plain Urns to prevent some confusion with Daily Challenges

After killing the Ambassador, the dungeon progress is reset as expected.

Hotfixed last week: The Ambassador's drop table has been slightly buffed. This change also notes the rune salvage drops.

Killing the Crassian Leviathan now correctly awards killcount if you kill it after it has swapped sides.

Improved the interactions with loot drops from monsters

The stack value pop-up when a monster drops an item will now show a list (max. 8) of objects that dropped on mobile.

On PC the stack value remains and is now colour coded.

The stack value pop-up is uses a more easily legible font.

Improved the drop log font so it is more legible on a mobile device.

The RuneMetrics Drop Log has a button to open the AoE looting interface.


Engine

Fixed a potential cause of crashes or incorrect rendering on Linux

Resizing the game window should no longer cause the game to crash

Added multi-threaded shader compilation system for modern GPUs/drivers, which should reduce stutter when playing

Fixed UV animation bug on mobile causing them not to function correctly.

Fixed bug with HBAO causing visual artifacts to appear in the game world

Minimap should now show things like rugs, the floor at the GE, etc., and should not show ground decor (sometimes visible as speckles on the current minimap)

Fixed a bug with SSAO causing it to not work on the Samsung S6.

Fixed a bug with the minimenu closing when opping NPCs in instances

Display names in clan channels are ordered alphabetically, regardless of case.
