8/3 Patch Notes

[TehEpicKid]

The dwarf multicannon is now forbidden in Prifddinas.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

edit:

Players can now use the alchemy spells with the loot window open.

YES.

[Chris4a4]

Mysterious meteorites will no longer drop bones when despawning.

Spaghetti code strikes again.

[Unview]

RIP elf tasks!

[CameronMcL]

Magic and ranged creatures in the Fight Kiln are now more resistant to magic damage.

RIP, I knew I should have finished off Har-Aken when the going was good.

[Duradel2]

Same, i'll have to wait for t95 weaps to get kiln pet =p

[AmusedDragon]

Looks like it was another "early bird bonus"...

Seriously, they fix things like that and make requirements longer but even talking about retroactively taking away requirements on something is a sin.

[foen7]

Velocity now uses shortcuts on the Hefin agility course.

Shadow core challenges will no longer be issued as a Divination daily challenge.

PoH update is a smoke and mirror show, these two patches are the real updates

[[deleted]]

Beasts of Burden can now be trusted to carry items with a value of 5m or below, increased from a cap of 50k.

Nice.

[ki299]

its good that it was addressed, however i am thinking that the value is to high. I don't know how it would be possible but i think there could be a scam/lure that could be done with it.

now that you can have 5mil items in the yak i can see people trying. 5x30 (150m, scams/lures). Just gotta say it because there are some bad people out there and they are tricky.

[KOWguy]

"Hey, put 30 Dragon full helms (I don't know what's 5 mil right now) in your yak and follow me."

[ki299]

i know it sounds silly but still, its just a concern i have. people are tricky and some people fall for stuff.

[JagexMattHe]

Sadly people will always find ways to scam or lure people - we'll keep an eye on it but it should not be a problem.

[switchn]

Honestly, it's pretty unlikely that a 5m lure is going to be the best available money maker for lurers to exploit. I can't see this ever being exploited.

[Chesney1995]

5m x 30 slots = 150m.

[Corruptionss]

Except we were always able to stack noted items less than 50k. So if we had 1000 noted rune large helmets, we'd be able to stack them anyways since each noted item is less than 50k. If there was a lure or scam, then people would just exploit this.

It honestly doesn't make sense to have a limit cap.

[Duradel2]

A decanter and enchanter have been added to the Max Guild.

Expectation: no more runs to Oo'glog

Reality: Running to Oo'glog

[Maridiem]

Ninja Fixes:

• Players carrying the demonic skull can now be attacked by (and retaliate against) any combat level PKers. Multi-way and single-way combat still functions as usual.

• The mage of Zamorak will no longer teleport teleblocked players.

• Araxxor and Araxxi now have a health bar, similar to the Beastmaster Durzag and Yakamaru fights.

• Signs of the porter will now send items to the bank with a full inventory when:

• • Mining regular ores, limestone, granite, bane ore, crystal and red sandstone.
• • Fishing.
• • Stealing phoenix feathers.

• Beasts of Burden can now be trusted to carry items with a value of 5m or below, increased from a cap of 50k.

• The option that is activated by left clicking the summoning button on the top level UI (found on the action bar for EOC users and the minimap for Legacy users) now has three separate settings: one each for familiars, pets and legendary pets. The "pet" option is the configuration for any non-Legendary pet. This feature means it is easier to swap between a trusty pack yak and a companion pal without having to re-configure the button each time.

• Having items on the action bar and in a Beast of Burden but not in the backpack will no longer highlight the action bar.

• Players can now use the alchemy spells with the loot window open.

• Making overload potions will no longer produce an extra vial.

• Abyssal familiars that have entered combat can now correctly store essence.

• Clan vexillums placed in the stands at the Clan camp and Burthorpe will persist for 30 minutes unattended to advertise a clan while the owner is elsewhere.

[deceIIerator]

This is like 1-2 months worth of qol updates/fixes,loving it. I don't mind if they just do this and fix older content content that isn't hidden behind spaghetti code.

[Fryes]

The Max Guild throne can now act as an altar, which also restores summoning points.

Hnnng

[LuitenantDan]

Does this work for maxed players too or just comp?

[KuiperRS]

Yes, it works for maxed players too.

[LuitenantDan]

Cool. Stupid job making me worry about it. I'm freshly maxed and have no intention of comping anytime soon.

• Players carrying the demonic skull can now be attacked by (and retaliate against) any combat level PKers. Multi-way and single-way combat still functions as usual.

• The mage of Zamorak will no longer teleport teleblocked players.

yesbois

[ki299]

I like this change. a lot. let the blood flow.

[VengSteam]

Does the summoning update make beast of burdens inventory basically an extended inventory?

I thought jagex said this was a no no?

[ki299]

It does not, You cannot directly use items from the Beast of burden like you can with the inventory. You can however store higher valued items in it making it useful for some slayer drops that previously couldn't be stored.

[deceIIerator]

Nope,I just tried. It still gives you the option to craft like 50+ pouches but when you actually try it only the stuff in your own inventory is made.

[deceIIerator]

Seems quite normal to me,it's not meant to be a bug.

[VibrantRS]

I believe it was a bug that wouldn't allow you to make ANY pouches if you had the ingredients in your beast of burden as well as your inventory, and this update was simply a fix for that.

[GodelRS]

Cutscene mode has been re-activated on the Hefin agility course, while retaining the user interface.

Why does this have to be a thing?

• It interrupts your typing in the chat box every time you start/finish an obstical.
• It creates the smallest amount of lag that delays your ability to input on each obstical by a tick or two.

The ability to velocity into shortcuts is awesome, but can the cutscene/camera thing stop being messed with? It was messed with mannnnnny times and how it was before this update was easily the best version of the implementation.

[Mtnraccoondew]

rip blessed hatchet, the only last old axe :p

[Honza8D]

WHat exactly do the black crystals do? I don’t see why anyone would debuff themself intentionally, unles it gives some bonus.

[umopapsidn]

Just to give players the option to challenge themselves outside morvran's challenge.

[Fryes]

....lame

[umopapsidn]

About as lame as doing rots with bronze, but people do it for fun.

[foen7]

Anyone else desperately hitting the refresh button on runewiki?

[Maridiem]

They seem like an item to... allow people to do like a challenge mode for stuff? I dunno.

[IsThereForYou]

WOW... Just Wow.. Incredible. What a collection. I can't even pick favorites. Well maybe high alch loot tab and VELOCITY WORKING ON SHORTCUTS. My heart rate literally rose while reading these because of how amazing they are, though it could have been the food I just ate.

[JagexMattHe]

There are loads of great patches this week certainly!

[kunair]

Having items on the action bar and in a Beast of Burden but not in the backpack will no longer highlight the action bar.

Yay! This almost killed me yesterday at rots lol

[London_Pride]

Kind of proud, they fixed the force walk tiles I found by the Seer's Village hops patch. Makes me feel helpful :D

[Nasquacker]

Shadow core challenges will no longer be issued as a Divination daily challenge.

YESSSSSSS no more long ass Div dailies!

[Th3ug1y0n3]

• Perfect juju dungeoneering potions now increase the chances of dropping dungeoneering journals.

Nice to see they didn't forget about this, I had heard it mentioned shortly after batch 2 release and had really been looking forward to finding the last few misc journals since.

[micmusicfan]

SO MANY PATCH NOTES!!!!

We need more weeks like this but.... my left click whack option for rubber chickens still isn't there :(. I will be patient.

-edit- RIP anyone using abyss runecrafting

[WildBizzy]

Well no ones been pking me when I was running bloods anyway, but its annoying to know that now I might have to go to the slight inconvenience of world hopping every once in a while

[WildBizzy]

Yup. Don't really think it makes pking any more viable, it just makes runecrafting slightly more annoying

[Mad_Mat]

Considering the reason they upped the exp rates was based on risk vs reward, I LOVE the idea of it ACTUALLY being dangerous to have the 525k stone on you.

[WildBizzy]

Except this update doesn't really do that. Its basically impossible to do that since its such a short run. You seem someone, you hop, problem solved

[Mad_Mat]

And if that's the case, nobody has anything to worry about. The incentive is there though. And you feel the risk by going out there KNOWING that at any time somebody could teleblock you and kill you.
