Summary

This update prepares the game for the Leagues launch with world-specific broadcast toggles, introduces numerous quality-of-life improvements including Alchemical Hydra speed increase and TOB Pandora perks, adds extensive early/mid game achievements, and implements trial systems for clues and tempering rework that may come to the main game based on feedback.

Changes coming to all worlds

World broadcast toggles

You can choose to toggle off/on news or loot broadcasts from specific worlds. For example, if you're not interested in the league, you would do:

::togglelootbroadcasts 4
::togglelootbroadcasts 5
::togglelootbroadcasts 6
::togglenewsbroadcasts 4
::togglenewsbroadcasts 5
::togglenewsbroadcasts 6

General improvements

  • Alchemical Hydra's vents will now fire off every 6 ticks instead of 10
  • There are now 2 new TOB related Pandora's bench perks under the 'Raiding' category for purple chance and orn kit chance
  • There's now an 'All Skills' rolling bonus XP that can be randomly selected, which boosts XP for all skills by the same amount as usual
  • Pandora's bench will no longer reset its scroll position every time you upgrade a perk
  • When you complete a Fight Cave boss (Jad/Hard Jad), you will no longer be booted from the instance, so you can pick up whatever you need before choosing to leave
  • When harvesting potions through farming, you will now receive Herblore XP, and when a herb can make more than 1 potion, you will randomly receive one of them. This is most noticeable when harvesting potions from Torstols. You'll have a 50/50 chance to get Zamorak Brews or Super Combat Potions now
  • You should no longer get stuck at the Ornate Rejuvination Pool if you open an interface or something in the middle of the animation
  • Obby staves are now properly treated as staves
  • Bait fishing now works as expected
  • Several types of achievements should now correctly update and notify you when completed instead of only updating when you open the interface
  • Loot interfaces showing what loot you got will now be shown at TOB and Olympian Raids
  • HEAPS of achievements have been added to the early/mid game
  • When viewing achievement rewards info, when the item is noted, it will now properly display the item name

Trial systems

  • The clues system will be considered in 'trial mode' through the League. If people think it's a good fit for the main game, it can be switched on
  • The Tempering rework that will be tested in the League will also be able to be brought to the main game if it is deemed a good addition

Feedback is being sought for both of these systems.

New bosses

  • Scurrius will be a new boss
  • Sarachnis will be a new boss
