What's just around the corner in February and even more patches and fixes.
Combat Mastery Achievements and More!
As we barrel towards RuneFest, it's a good time to take stock of what's happening between now and then. Coming soon to the RuneScape content calendar are the highly anticipated Combat Mastery Achievements! These achievements bring fresh structure to your PvM journey, offering challenges for every type of playerfrom aspiring PvMers honing their skills to Grandmaster-level trials designed to push even the most seasoned PvM experts in Gielinor to their limits.
Combat Mastery Achievements will release on February 17th. Ahead of its launch there will be a blog outlining the system and the rewards.
But that's not all you can expect this February! You can look forward to the following updates:
- Interface Sharing will release on February 3rd, allowing you to grab your favorite interface setups and formats from other players. Having a quick and easy way to copy a friend or creator's UI is something you've been after for a while, and soon it'll be here!
- Double XP will return from February 21st to March 3rd. Maybe some second screen Double XPing during RuneFest is in order?
There will also be the usual patch notes and community events sprinkled in each week, so be sure to check in weekly to see what's happening!
Presto Change-o!
With today's patch, we're introducing a new feature in Divination that allows players to transmute specific boss weapon pieces into their corresponding counterparts. This feature should assist GIM groups in crafting boss weapons more efficiently.
Currently, when a weapon piece drops, the next piece you receive is one you havent obtained yet, following a set order. However, in certain situations, GIM groups may end up with overlapping pieces when multiple players receive drops, as where you start in the order is randomized. This new system aims to streamline the process and ensure a smoother experience for everyone involved.
We've decided to build this feature into an existing skill as we want it to be accessible for all players and Divination is a great thematic fit! Hope you enjoy your new boss weapons!

- Bow of the Last Guardian
