He has an eye on you
Hidden in a recently discovered resource dungeon near Daemonheim is Flesh-hatcher Mhekarnahz, a mighty Stalker stranded far from Ocularis.
Unlike our most recently released boss, Amascut, this encounter is designed for an earlier stage in your PvM journey. It introduces common mechanics and serves as an alternative way to train your combat skills. Although this is a solo boss, you can still fight it alongside other players to observe, learn, and study how they tackle the encounter. Dont worry, only your actions and contributions will count toward defeating the boss and earning your rewards!
Once you have a Dungeoneering skill of 40 you can trek out through the Wilderness to dive in!

Christmas
- The Queen and the King fairy tale no longer includes "whose name was Lumi" and "whose name was Nick", to resolve a contradiction between contemporary Christmas lore and the First Age sundering of Renmark.

- Failing to pickpocket the fairy godfather during A Fairy Tale II no longer has a 1/5 chance to teleport you into a blocked tile in Lumbridge swamp.
- Removed lingering evil tree areas in Lumbridge swamp.
- Getting kicked out of the H.A.M. hideout now teleports you to nearest pre-2013 coordinates west of Lumbridge rather than east of Lumbridge.
General
- Amulet of Fletcher's Offerings and Amulet of Artisan's Offerings no longer lose all charges after one craft
- Fixed an artifact that could appear on dialogue boxes.
- Fixed some drawers wrongly being named as cupboards.
- Corrected the examine text of all blessed and corrupted ability override unlock scrolls.
- Updated the Sunshine tooltip when using Tumeken's armour for improved clarity.

What's up next?
