Changelog September 17th

Note, you'll need to repair both sides of the bridge before you can safely cross it.
- The number of Fremennik Sea Boot teleports now scales by tier: 1 → 3 → 5 → Unlimited (Easy → Medium → Hard → Elite)

- All Hunter Experts can now give you a one-time free Hunter Kit (across all experts) to help you get started.
Client and Mobile Updates
- Mobile players can now optionally display a mobile icon by their character in the minimenu, helping others understand why you may be less responsive. The icon remains hidden in PvP areas like the Wilderness and Ferox Enclave.
- Fixed visual flickering in various locations and NPCs when using the new renderer beta.
- Fixed a bug where the 'Limit FPS' setting would be ignored when the game is out of focus (Desktop Official Client)
- The Official Clients AFK logout timer can now be set up to 30 minutes.

- Impling jars now only show the warning that prevents you from opening the jar if you already have a clue or scrollbox of that type on you and youve reached your stackable clue cap. Note, the other warning, which appears when you would receive a clue but dont have one on you, remains unchanged.
- Fixed a bug where Slayer masters werent respecting the 'Ignore Combat Level' setting, which could stop players from receiving tasks they were otherwise eligible for.
- Fixed a bug where Slayer masters wouldnt provide tips for Jad and Zuk tasks, leaving the advice dialogue blank.

Poll 85
More Poll 85 has arrived this week, introducing a batch of changes aimed at making your gameplay feel a bit nicer. Let's take a look at them!
Bridge Over Less Troubled Waters
Tired of that pesky broken bridge near Fenkenstrains Mausoleum mocking you? Well, now you can actually repair it! All it takes is 59 Construction, 12 teak planks, and 56 nails. Once built, the shortcut requires 69 Agility to cross. This should make trips to and from the area far more convenient. Be warned, though - you'll find you need to repair both sides of the bridge before you can safely cross it.

Fremennik Sea Boots
The teleports on the Fremennik Sea Boots now scale by Diary tier, making them more useful the further you progress. Teleports are now:
- Tier 1 (Easy): 1 teleport per day
- Tier 2 (Medium): 3 teleports per day
- Tier 3 (Hard): 5 teleports per day
- Tier 4 (Elite): Unlimited teleports

Desktop Shops Match Mobile
Shops on desktop now include the same quantity buttons that mobile players have enjoyed for some time. These let you set a preferred purchase or sell amount, and then buy or sell that amount with a single left-click. This should make shopping and skilling supplies much faster.

The Ropes are on Baxtorian Falls
Once youve completed both Waterfall Quest and the Kandarin Medium Diary, ropes will now be permanently secured at Baxtorian Falls. That means no more realising (after sprinting all the way there with 0 run energy left) that you left your rope in the bank, only to drift helplessly downstream in a puddle of soggy shame.

Harmony Island Herb Patch
The herb patch on Harmony Island is now permanently free from disease. Any herbs planted there are guaranteed to remain healthy until harvest, providing a reliable location for your herb runs.

Hunter Starter Pack
All Hunter Experts across Gielinor can now provide players with a one-time free Hunter Kit. This should make getting started with the skill a little easier, particularly for newer players looking to try out different Hunter tools. This applies across all experts.

Client and Mobile Updates
Mobile players can now choose to display a mobile icon next to their character in the minimenu. Its a handy way to let others know you might be a little slower to type back - though dont worry, the icon will stay hidden in PvP areas like the Wilderness and Ferox Enclave.

Not feeling it? You can always toggle this off in the settings menu!

Weve also heard your feedback about extending this feature to other areas, like Friends Chats and Clan systems. While we cant deliver this right away, its on our radar, and well be looking into ways to expand it in the future!

- Fixed visual flickering in various locations and NPCs when using the new renderer beta.
- Fixed a bug where the 'Limit FPS' setting would be ignored when the game is out of focus (Desktop Official Client).
- The Official Clients AFK logout timer can now be set up to 30 minutes.

A Discord Community Event
A reminder for anyone who missed it last week, we'll be hosting a Chambers mass on Friday in the official OSRS Discord!
If you cant see the image above, click here!
- When? Friday, 19th September
- Time? 16.00 - 17.00 BST (Mass at 15.45)
- Where? World 522
What to expect?
Beautiful chaos. Piles of deaths, Olm's head almost certainly deciding to laser the entire raid at once, a few heroic clutches (probably accidental), and a tragically low number of purples.
But you can also expect plenty of laughs, some excellent stories, and that unique brand of mass-event madness that makes it all worth it. We're here for the fun - not the points (definitely not the points). Whether we walk away with loot (remember, scuffed = stuff) or just tales of chaos, we'll have a laugh together.
Not keen to be burned alive by your entire team? No worries! You can still join in by spectating - Mod Rach will be streaming her POV so you can enjoy the carnage from the safety of your bank tab.
Requirements? Nothing but a bit of Chambers knowledge, a pulse, and a willingness to die with grace would be beneficial.
So polish your pickaxes, forget your anti-venom, and let's give Olm a show we won't forget - for better or for much, much worse!
