Patch notes/Jan 28 2025

Update from Jan 28 2025

This update introduces the powerful Golden God talent that enables auto-alching of stacks, alongside numerous Slayer changes aimed at balancing the Slayer-Locked game mode. The update also adds new Slayer tasks and superiors, while improving drop tables and making various quality-of-life improvements across multiple game systems.

Golden God talent

A new talent that allows Alchemy spells to automatically recast on stacks of items:

• When Alchemy spells are cast on a stack of items, the spells will automatically be recast over time, until the stack is depleted or moved
• Actions that would normally cancel Alchemy such as walking or attacking will not do so whilst it is automatically casting
• Each cast does require runes to cast the spell
• Repeated casts can continue even while you are not on the standard spellbook
• Stacks with Masterful Alchemist - meaning you can automatically alch up to 11 items per alch
• Talent point allocation:
  • 1 point: 5 repeated alchs
  • 2 points: 12 repeated alchs
  • 3 points: 20 repeated alchs
  • 4 points: 29 repeated alchs
  • 5 points: 40 repeated alchs

Slayer changes

• Slayer Mystery Boxes rare drop table rate has been buffed significantly, giving rare loot more commonly, and always giving some additional coins/tokens
• The first 10 Slayer tasks you do on your account will assign a fixed amount of 15 NPCs to kill, smoothing out the initial Slayer grind for newer players
• Slayer-Locked accounts now have a cooldown added for Turael skipping AFTER level 40 slayer
  • This cooldown is 20 minutes per 40 total Slayer levels you have gained
• Slayer-Locked accounts cannot unlock the Unnatural Selection talent in the PvM tree
• The prestige cap for Slayer-Locked accounts has been reduced to 9
• Despite being able to mine Zalcano on a black demon task, Slayer-Locked accounts cannot take part in the Zalcano mini-game

New tasks

• Citizens of Gielinor (man/woman/farmer)
• Aberrant Spectres
• Wizards (wizard/dark wizard)
• Ancient ceremonial beings (Nex KC minions)
• Infernal Mages

New superiors

• Aberrant Spectres
• Cave Horrors
• Turoths

Drop improvements

• Dragon and dragonite ore will drop from KBD now in small quantities
• Kraken drops fishing caskets that give raw fish
• Justiciar mages/rangers will now drop infinity cloth and rangers fabric respectively, in small amount
• Oxi ore now drops from the ethereal barrows chest

Other changes

• The Graardor pet's AOE attack will no longer hit their owner
• The teleport menu has been updated to be able to have more than 7 teleport options, with a final "See-more-options" option at the end of the context menu
• Upgrade gems can no longer be converted to gold
• 'Is this thing on?' will now properly have a chance to not protect from attacks of certain styles
• Aubury can turn Saradomin Capes into Zamorak/Guthix capes if you use them on him
• The Overload Heart buff can be re-applied after a 1 minute cooldown, instead of requiring the buff to completely expire first
• The bank pin interface will no longer lock your character until you complete entering the pin
• The 'did you know' tips have been updated to mention the extra drop rate for securing your account
• There are 3 new beginner level pets available in the in-game donator store for each combat style:
  • A melee Sandwich Lady

  • These are the lowest tier 75 pets, equivalent in strength to the barrows pets
