Update from Aug 21 2024

This update introduces the Mining Guild with new amethyst nodes for creating tier 80 ranged ammunition, along with various quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes. Notable changes include improvements to combat NPC behavior, better disconnect handling, and adjustments to world boss loot distribution to discourage "tag and go" behavior.

Mining Guild

The Mining Guild has been updated, and is now accessible. It contains a bunch of ores for F2P players to be able to mine.

The southern zone, past the doors, is accessible from Prestige 1 Mining onward, and unlocks new Amethyst nodes that can be turned into T80 ranged ammunition.

Inside this Prestige 1 req zone, there's a 33% chance that the ore you're mining will not deplete.

Towards the west, there is an additional Amethyst mining zone which is accessible past Prestige 3 Mining, which has a 50% chance to not deplete the ore you're mining.

Say Your Prayers event

You can now use the ::sayyourprayers command if the teleport button ever disappears, but also, the button shouldn't disappear in the middle of the event anymore.

Misc changes

  • Armature Prodigy level requirement reduction now applies to gloves
  • Ranged/Mage NPCs that would previously walk right up to you in combat, will now properly take into account their attack range
  • More issues have been found, and changes have been made to prevent disconnections in certain cases
  • World boss fights will now perform more efficiently, reducing load on the server, resulting in a better response rate to player actions
  • Permadeath HCIMs who get reset, will now have their farming patches reset as well
  • Magic XP should now be in line with the other combat styles
  • Loot from NPCs which drop loot for more than one player, will no longer award you with loot if you are too far away when it dies. This is a partial change towards preventing all these "tag once and go" players who unfairly accumulate wealth from the world bosses in this way
  • If you have disconnected, attempting to log into your account already sets a 10 second timer for that player to be force logged out. Previously, this timer would reset to 10 seconds if you tried to log in again before it completed. This no longer resets the timer, so you can continue to try log in as you please
    • However, there is now a 5 second login request cooldown to prevent unnecessary costs as a result of the spam clickers
  • There's a new teleport to the desert granite mining area
