Dragonstone+ exclusive rewards

Ranks up to diamond have great perks with the donator zones. I wanted to add a couple of things for the ranks afterward specifically.

Group proximity voted XP buff

Skip the need to be in close proximity with a friend. If you've voted in the past 12 hours, you'll get the buff!

Combine noted crystal keys

Skip a bit of a pain in the ass.

  • Dragonstone: 5 at a time
  • Onyx: 10 at a time
  • Zenyte: 25 at a time
  • Tanzanite: 50 at a time
  • Olympian: 100 at a time

New store items

For those who wish to support, or continue supporting the server, there are a few new items in the store!

Each have descriptions and loot tables where applicable that are shown when you hover them.

The new items to the game that come with this are:

  • The Accessory Mystery Box
  • The Talent Spec Trinket
  • The Arcane Grimoire

These are available in the in-game donator store for f2p users to be able to get by voting / trading others for august tokens

Other updates

There are 2 new imbued hearts:

Omni Heart

Provides ALL 3 imbued hearts at the same time, for the same amount of time.

Created at the alchemy table.

Overload Heart

Provides a greater buff than the other imbued hearts, for a base of 10 minutes instead of 7.

Overload boost = 5 + (level * 0.15) Overload Heart boost = 5 + (level * 0.2)

Miscellaneous improvements

  • Ranged NPCs will no longer run all the way up to you like they used to
  • Even more performance improvements have been made to the game, with about a 30% improvement over before
  • Grubby keys will be auto looted by the Key Master's Vault now
  • Creating the Heavenly bow, you now save the bow frame instead of the bowstring if you fail
  • Minnows are now fishable in all 3 fishing areas around home. The donator zone ones are a bit faster and give a bit more minnows
  • There's been some general stability and logging improvements in the background
  • You can now pick your slayer task using the bigger 'picker interface' that shows far more options than the old chatbox one
  • Added a couple of tips that get broadcast to the world for ::setpin and ::2fa commands
  • Fixed Zulrah healing when phase changing
  • Fixed NPCs disappearing at home when there's too many people and pets around
