4000% Enrage
Originally we had planned to launch 4k Enrage this week but after several discussions with players around Leagues we have felt that it would be best to hold off for the time being. We will update players in the future when the timing feels right.
Time to get attuned.
Today's update includes another set of game health changes, this time for Runecrafting. After the 110 Runecrafting update, Mod Frosch dove headfirst into the chaos of Runecrafting during the last Gamejam, tackling a host of pain points that have been bugging players. From giving the Runic Attuner a shiny new tune-up, to finally decoupling the notoriously pesky Demonic Skull from the skill, and even giving Paradox a rework. Its all about making Runecrafting smoother, snappier, and just plain more fun for everyone!
These changes are just another taster of the types of game health updates we'd like to make to Runescape. Let us know what other types of game health updates you'd like to see, and keep an eye out for even more in the future.
Check out the patch notes below for a full breakdown of all the changes!
Banana for scale
Missed your chance to get the Froggly outfit last year? Well fret not, it's available for once again! This time around the Froggly outfit comes with an adorable Froggly Parasol and Shimmerfall Cape! And they are completely free and available in the Marketplace until the 5th of October!
Alongside the Froggy Outfit we have added a new ribbiting friend "Froggly"
Now this fella isn't free like the outfit but can be yours for 380 Runecoins!
And the best news this purchase goes completely to charity! We are again working with our friends at Safe In Our World, Blueprint for All & SpecialEffects charities to raise money for great causes and so alongside the proceeds from Froggly sales we have also enabled RuneCoin donations bundles so that you can pay what you want for the Froggly outfit! All proceeds from these bundles go to support our charity partners. You'll even unlock some titles as a bonus!
The froggly outfit has been re-activated for anyone who didn't claim it last year to claim. There is a new bundle (free) which contains: Froggly Parasol & Shimmerfall Cape.
Fixes and Improvements in this Week's Game Update
Amascut, Goddess of Destruction
- Fixed the positioning of the vortices within the prison realms during an Amascut, the Devourer boss fight encounter.
- Ironmen can now benefit from other players' Prism of Salvations.
- Added a brief immunity to players leaving the portals during P2/P4 which will prevent them being hit by invisible waves.
- Added full immunity to the player clicking to follow the light during P6, if they are hit by a telegraphed attack as they click they will now spawn on the platform unharmed.
- Fixed an issue where the Devourer Aura (Amascut) eye effect was not properly aligned when using a female avatar.
- Reduced the attack range of the Feline Akh from 2 to 1 in the Amascut encounter.
- Resolved an issue where the interceptor debuff on phase 5 of Amascut was not clearing up, this happened if you took the hit the same tick you reformed Tumeken.
- Insane Final Boss now correctly requires having Amaskitty unlocked.
- Updated how loot is distributed during Amascut the Devourer kills, the base tank now takes first priority for extra loot piles, then top damage dealers after that.
- Tumeken's Light has had a few minor tweaks to ensure its identity as a 'Legendary Weapon' is maintained.
- Increased the duration of Lesser Purifying Light from 15s to 30s
- Increased the range of the special attack from 1 tile to 2 tiles (3 with halberd range). Note, that it will still only hit a maximum of 9 targets at once.
- Increased the damage of Lesser Purifying Light from 25%-35% to 45%-55%
- Increased the damage of Purifying Light from 35-45% to 65%-75%
- Dev Note: While we were happy with Tumeken's Light identity around tagging monsters, it didn't quite hit the mark as 'the multitarget melee weapon'. As a result, we've tweaked some numbers to ensure that it's consistently better for tagging monsters, but should now deal solid damage against secondary targets during multitarget boss encounters.
- Tumeken's Resplendence has had a few changes to ensure that it fits solidly into the meta for magic.
- Charging (9) -> Charging (5.4)
- Set effect (3) : Increasing the damage of your damage over time abilities while inside Sunshine -> 1.5% Critical Strike Chance per piece worn while inside of Sunshine.
- Set effect (4) : Remains the same
- Set effect (5): Channeling Asphyxiate for its full duration grants Embodiment of Light for 9 seconds, granting your next non-channeled Magic attack 50% Critical Strike Damage -> Channeling Asphyxiate for its full duration grants Embodiment of Light for 9 seconds, increasing your Critical Strike Damage by 50%
- Added a prayer bonus to each piece in the armour set. The Sun God demands it!
- Dev Note: The initial approach to Tumeken's Resplendence aimed to benefit both critical strike and bleed based gameplay. After seeing you play with it, we're not sure it fully met the needs for either playstyle.
As releasing a fully damage over time-based magic armour would have definitively made Tectonic better during your sunshine, we've opted to take Tumeken's Resplendence fully in the direction of Critical Strikes, to allow future Magic armour sets to fully lean into damage over time / flat damage increases.
Nevertheless, we wanted to remain the thematic links to Sunshine, given Tumeken's status as the Sun God. To mitigate the consistency loss in Sunshine that switching from Tectonic to Tumeken's Resplendence loses you, we've opted to increase your Critical Strike Chance while inside your Sunshine.
Leagues - Hotfixed during the week
- Logging out no longer resets loot earned during an Arch-Glacor or Telos streak.
- Resolved an issue whereby boss drop rates in leagues could not be reduced to under 1/10 due to safety checks.
- Fixed an issue that was downgrading a players wingsuit after they had unlocked the T3 version from the fourth Relic passive.
- Fixed an issue that was causing the world first for soloing the Ambassador to trigger multiple times.
- Leagues players can no longer repeatedly cast the Granite Maul special attack for free using the Specialist relic.
- Players are now granted access to Shilo Village and Tormented demons.
- A new passive has been added to Tier 3. A Dramen staff can be claimed from the Sage allowing basic Fairy Ring access. However you will still need to complete the Fairy Tale quest line for access without the Staff or Fairy's Flight Relic.
- Upon reaching Tier 5, Rasial and Hermod are able to be fought without needing the questline completed.
- Upon reaching Tier 5, the Sunspear item is unlocked and can be reclaimed via the Sage
- During the New Foundations quest only, building speed of the Fort and experience earned has been increased 10 fold. Note: The experience earned with this change is the same as before the change.
- Players can now learn, create, upgrade and wear the (Full) Slayer Helm without the completion of Smoking Kills.
- Reaching Relic tier 6 now grants access to the Enriched pontifex shadow ring which allows access to the dream of Iaia. The ring can be reclaimed from the Sage
Leagues: CATALYST
- Equipping a Slayer Helmet will now complete the relevant task.
- Creating a godsword on an anvil now correctly completes the task 'Assemble any godsword from the God Wars Dungeon'
Runecrafting QoL
- Reviewed the chance mechanics for Abyssal Runic Synapse and Ilme's thread. Now, the chances are 1/50 to allow for more of an organic spread, but bad luck mitigation works with the amount of times crafted rather than runes crafted to stop low level runes from being the meta method to obtain these items.
- If the player doesn't receive the item within 74 crafts, they are now guaranteed the item on their 75th craft.
- Added functionality to use Abyssal Runic Synapses at Ourania altar to get 250 runes and a magical thread.
- Added dialogue to the mage at Ourania altar hinting that this can be done.
- Added an inspect to the abyssal runic synapse that tells players that it can either be used for the masterwork staff or brought to Ourania to get runes.
- Stopped the abyss buff for Runecrafting if the player teleports to the chaos altar using the wicked hood.
- The Runic Attuner has been improved in a variety of ways.
- The Runic Attuner now moves players close to their attuned altar when entering the abyss.
- The Runic Attuner now linearly boosts the chance to attune to higher-level altars with every charge, rather than at 20 and 40 charge.
- The Runic Attuner now attunes to ANY altar every 7 charges, allowing players to go to an altar of their choice.
- The tooltip is changed to reflect the above changes.
- The Runic Attuner now works for Armadyl runes and combo runes if attuned to the air altar / one of the elemental altars.
- The Abyss no longer gives XP boosts.
- Runecrafting XP benefits have been built into the skill levels directly and give XP boosts to crafting runes at altars (including the Ourania altar) that, at lvl 105, add up to +300% XP.
- The Demonic Skull no longer gives XP boosts to Runecrafting and no longer boosts magical thread chance.
- The magical thread chance boost is now a part of the Wilderness Area tasks reward, increasing with every set until the old amount is reached at elite.
- The Wilderness Sword effect that has a chance to teleport the player into the Abyss' inner ring now also works if the sword is in the backpack.
- Changed the Ourania altar XP balancing from 2x XP to 1.5x XP compared to regular rune XP, since it now also benefits from the Abyss boosts.
- Slightly buffed eternal magic weapon imbuing to account for slightly higher overall core runecrafting XP rates.
- The Paradox spell has been turned into a self buff, extended in length and made usable with a lot more skilling nodes.
- Increased the duration of Paradox to 1 minute and rebalanced the runes needed.
- Added the arc, magnetic minnow and swarm fishing, barbarian fishing, Croesus front fishing (not the boss!), rocktail, cavefish and ghostly sole to the list of fish that work with Paradox.
- Stopped the dwarven fish extractor from allowing players to fish bait-free while crystallise or Paradox are active.
- Stopped the dwarven fish extractor animation from playing while crystallise or Paradox are active.
- Paradox now works for all major hunter methods except big game hunter and whirligigs, including the Croesus front outside the boss arena.
- Mining with Paradox now gives +1 ore and +25% mining damage to account for both low and high level methods - previously, the low level methods were not impacted by the +100% mining damage at all, and without the extra mining damage, higher level methods don't benefit by just having Paradox on until you eventually get an ore.
- Paradox now works on rune essence, silver, gold, concentrated gold, clay and soft clay, granite, limestone, regular sandstone, gem rocks, crablets and the Croesus front mining outside the boss arena.
- The Dwarven Ramhammer animation now doesn't show if the player is using crystallise or Paradox to signify that it doesn't provide any benefits.
- Added Croesus front woodcutting (outside boss arena) and bamboo to the list of resources Paradox works on.
- Stopped the dwarven chainaxe animation from working while Paradox or Crystallise are active.
- Full list of new Paradox-compatible methods:
- Arc: Bamboo, Tortles, Crablets, Fish
- Croesus Front Fishing, Hunter, Mining, Woodcutting (Outside Boss)
- Magnetic Minnow
- Swarm Fishing
- Barbarian Fishing
- Rocktail
- Cavefish
- Ghostly Sole
- All Box Trapping
- Deadfall Trapping
- Tracking
- Bird Snaring
- Butterflies and Charming Moths
- Net Trapping
- Pitfall Trapping
- Falconry
- Marasamaw Plant Trapping
- Charm Sprites
- Rune Essence
- Silver
- Gold
- Concentrated Gold
- Clay and Soft Clay
- Granite
- Limestone
- Regular Sandstone
- Gem Rocks
- Platinum
- Porcelain Clay and Soft Porcelain Clay
