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

Hotfixed

• Added a variety of restrictions inside the buildings within Fort Forinthry:
• Combat and skilling dummies
• Various transmogrification rings, such as the ring of trees
• Seren Prism spells
• Magma Tempest
• Also made Magma Tempest and the effects from Opal and Sapphire Aurora, and Scripture of Wen only display to the casting player if cast inside Fort Forinthry.

Amascut

• Added an Amascut preset to the bank.
• Fixed an issue that resulted in the grouping system showing 'not all members meet the requirement for this group' when selecting rejoin queue for an Amascut, the Devourer encounter.
• Modest crocodiles don't reflect passive damage anymore and can't get damaged by passive effects
• Fixed a number of typos within the Amascut, the Devourer boss encounter.
• When teleporting in phase 7 during Amascut, the player will no longer try and path towards the South-West corner of the throne room if they had a walk queue pending.

Tuska

• Fixed an issue where the Call of the Ancestors quest journal referenced the removed Tuska crash site.
• Fixed an issue that resulted in 'Benedict's world tour' from being incompleteable due to the removal of Tuska. Now, that part of the world tour will be on Anachronia...but where?
• Fixed an issue that allowed shooting stars to spawn on the now-removed Tuska site.
• Fixed an issue where an incorrect tooltip appeared when hovering over the Tuska's Wraith ability codex in the Mazcab raid rewards interface.
• Increased the spawn rate of the Beastmaster's hound NPCs, as they previously took around a minute to respawn. Now, it has been increased to around ~10 seconds.

General

• Fixed an issue that prevented moonstones from dropping when looting ghostly implings
• Scripture's and Erethdor's grimoire can now be shredded to give 10 pages, this destroys the item in the process
• Updated Greater barge drop rate in solo ED2 encounters to be consistent with Greater fury & Greater flurry codices. 1/100 -> 1/83
• Augmented custom-fit masterwork magic robe top & bottom and augmented masterwork magic robe top & bottom are now listed in the augmented magic items section of the inventor's workbench.
• All variants of masterwork magic armour are now whitelisted in Group Ironman storage.
• Added in a number of new VO voicelines for Nakatra within the Sanctum of Rebirth, to assist with knowing which attack is coming and when.
• Added in a number of new VO voicelines for Nakatra within the Sanctum of Rebirth at each phase transition and boss death, to add flavour and audio queues.
• Fixed an issue that resulted in Zemoreguel's Undead being missing from the slayer creature kill list within the beasts tab.

Community Spotlight

Fast SC

Fast Sc is the World 99 Non-Combat Stealing Creation Friends Chat, Where Friends Are Gathered As Much As Clay.

Their goal is to provide safe and fast games for all their members. The main focus of non-combat Stealing Creation is collecting and depositing clay. Once all the clay has been depleted from the game map, the timer drops to one minute left regardless of how much time is on the clock. This allows you to net points faster! Fast Sc is able to help you get with the Claymation achievement, obtain your Artisan's and Fletcher's outfits, and grab some bonus XP in the process!

Come join the Fast Sc community here
