- The Avatar Beta is going live this week! We were intending to get it out to you today, but some last minute gremlins mean that we need just a little longer to ensure that it's in the right place for you to check out and provide feedback for. This does not currently affect the Avatars launch date later in May. We're still looking to get the Avatar beta live as soon as possible this week, so do keep an eye out for it!
- We're sharing a final preview of next week's Dungeoneering update this Wednesday - look out for it then!
- We're looking to share an under-the-hood insight into the investigation we undertook to improve performance of the game - that should be out this Thursday or Friday.

- Mod Anvil and Mod Ryan once again sat down to chat about the work weve done in April while also taking the opportunity to preview the month of May. Check it out here!

Player Avatar Beta
Improving the player avatar has been a long-standing request from the community, and later this month well be taking the first step towards that. Ahead of the launch of Part One of the Player Avatar project, well be running a beta so you can try out the current progress and share your feedback.
The Avatar beta will be live this week! We were intending to get it out to you today, but some last minute gremlins mean that we need just a little longer to ensure that it's in the right place for you to check out and provide feedback for. This does not currently affect the Avatars launch date later in May. We're still looking to get the Avatar beta live as soon as possible this week, so do keep an eye out for it!
When the beta goes live we will be dropping a dedicated blog with information on how to access!
Double Xp is currently live!
Double XP is back after its long hiatus and kicked off last Friday! In classic fashion, this is a 10-day event where you have 48 hours of Double XP to use at your leisure. The event will end May 10th. You can also pause the timer if you'd like to do other activities that aren't focused on the XP gains.
This is the first DXP event since last November and RuneScape has changed in some pretty meaningful ways since then so we wanted to give a quick round-up to help you get started. Before we recap those, here are the most important things to note about this Double XP event, which has been shaped by your feedback and our Road to Restoration goals:
- Less daily pressure: Daily login incentives removed to reduce FOMO and align with the move away from Dailyscape.
- Final use of Tokens: Tokens can still be earned, but this is their last event. Any remaining Tokens will be converted to GP at the end.
- DXP Store winding down: The store returns with a reduced stock before closing permanently at the end of the event. Skilling Outfits remain available in the store during this event, with plans to make them easier to earn in-game in future.
New Dyeable Equipment
Fresh out of the dye vat we have some beautiful new looks for both the Elite Dracolich Armour and the Roar of Awakening/Ode of Deceit weapons! Add a splash of colour to your combat encounters with these dyeable pieces!
Patch Notes
Hotfixed
- Fixed an issue that caused some outfit pieces from the Loyalty Point Bundle to not unlock correctly upon claim.
General
- Resolved an issue where using revolution with a 1 tile range weapon would sometimes cause you to chase the target longer than expected. No longer should you be having a polite standoff with an opponent as they walk around!
- Resolved an issue that caused NPC's that used adrenaline to not correctly consume their adrenaline on enhanced ability casts, and in some cases caused them to use ultimate abilities they should not have access to.
- Chaos Demons can no longer clear the entangle skill.
- This does not affect Telos, as the boss uses freedom to intentionally break binds.
- Fixed an issue that caused windows to display incorrectly in the Um smithing area.
- Resolved an issue with Kalphite King being able to proc immortality multiple times, making the 'Best Offence' achievement difficult to complete.
- Readded the ability to move the in game clock as its own interface element. The options to keep it either part of the minimap or hidden entirely both still remain. Time to find the perfect spot in your UI!
- The hole in the wall during the Rat Catchers is visible again.
