New Slayer Mobs & Premier Refresh - This Week In RuneScape

Posted by on

New Profane Scabarite Slayer monsters bring new opportunities!

New Slayer Monster and Necromancy Slayer Helm
Like sand? A scarab might...

From the sands of the Kharidian Desert comes a new terrifying Slayer monster! The Profane Scabarites, unholy creatures who have cast off the tenets of Scabaras, are on the move!

These malicious insects will swarm unsuspecting adventurers who stumble into their isolated cavern. Keep your wits about you, and avoid wandering into creepy caves near Pollnivneach - unless you want to fight them, of course.

These monsters require level 87 Slayer to fight, but persevere and you may get your hands on the new Spectral Lens, a new addition to the Slayer Helm that gives it Necromancy benefits.


Premier Membership
New Premier Refresh

Premier Membership gets its yearly reward refresh. Premier Membership is the best value offer for dedicated RuneScape players, along with extra rewards such as monthly drops, increased bank space and exclusive cosmetics.

This year, we'll be including a few new additions to our yearly refresh:

  • New Cosmetic Outfit & Pet*
  • New Teleport Animation
  • Daily Free Boss Instances (was weekly)
  • Refreshed Premier Token Store

*This is new every year, but worth calling out!

This is on top of the other benefits included every year such as Loyalty Points, increased Bank Spaces, access to the Premier Vault, the Premier Artifact, Monthly Drops, exclusive chat badge, additional Daily Key, Premier Tokens and - of course - 12 months of Membership. Blimey that was a mouthful of a sentence! Lots of stuff there.

Here's a peek into the refreshed Premier Token Store.

We can also confirm a 30 Day Double Daily Keys on purchase/renewal will not be included in this year's Premier Membership.

Get your hands on some dangerous Devourer-themed rewards in this upcoming Humble Bundle. Use the Devourer's power to protect yourself and strike your enemies with the new Scimitar and Shield overrides. Plus, get ready to hang out with Dwayne, the friendliest scorpion in Gielinor.

Patch Notes
Fixes and Improvements in this Week's Game Update

Hotfixed

  • Existing Ironman players downgrading to Group Ironman are now able to properly trigger completed Achievements inside Journey Achievements.
  • Updated the dialogue Ironman players see when speaking with Mr Ex about downgrading to become a Group Ironman, and added confirmation dialogue.
  • Group Ironman and Competitive Group Ironman players will no longer get token XP when digging up artefacts in the Halloween Event area.
  • Unranked Group Ironman players can now obtain XP from all sources at the Harvest Hollow event.
  • Free-to-play accounts should now be able to consistently use bound keybinds again after logging into the server.

General

  • Changed Premier Vault minigame requirements to reflect Competitive Group Ironmen not being able to access the minigame.
  • Buffs granted by the Premier Artefact no longer tick down while not logged in.
  • The 'Provisions Officer' Achievement will now correctly count resources gathered and sent to the Bank using Sign of the Porter or other items with similar abilities.
  • Players can now choose between leg and foot trims for the eyes on the Froggly Outfit.
  • Ironman players can now purchase the Plague Doctor Walk, Teleport and Rest Override Tokens, as well as the Zombie and Assassin Walk Override Tokens in the Grand Exchange.
  • The "Vote Now!" highlight will no longer leave a transparent box when closing the Community interface.
  • The GIM and CGIM chat badges now correctly display after joining or leaving a group.
  • Added tooltips to Slayer Helmets and their damage boosting components.
  • Reduced Slayer XP from Wilderness greater demon variants to reduce the impact of them warping lower level Slayer; they now give 0.04 XP per HP rather than 0.065 XP per HP.
    • Also removed their additional killcount cost to make them favor Slayer wildcards slightly less. For example, a greater demon ashlord will now reduce normal Slayer count by 1 rather than 8.
