iOS Closed Beta & Inventory Rework | Weekly Game Update (April 20th)



[hr][/hr]
We've got all the news on the Inventory Rework, the iOS Closed Beta, and the Deadman Reborn Re-Run Beta!

[hr][/hr]
[h2]Inventory Rework and More[/h2]

This week we’ve been busy in the backend, reworking the Inventory system! We’ve completely rewritten it in both the Java and C++ clients, so it’ll be better suited to all our future content.

We’ve also improved the Wiki integration feature, so it’ll now direct you to more accurate pages. In addition, we’ve removed the line-of-sight requirement, so you can now look stuff up from your Worn side panel!

Lastly, there’s a couple of Steam Client improvements we want to talk about:


Anti-Drag Options

We’ve reworked anti-drag! When active, dragging an item won’t register as a drag until the specified delay has passed, at which point the item will jump to your cursor and be dragged around as normal.

You can configure the following settings:
  • Anti-drag: toggle the feature on or off.
  • Drag delay: How long, in milliseconds, you have to drag an item when anti-drag is active before the drag is registered. By default, this is set to 500 milliseconds.
  • Enable key: If set, you must hold this key down to activate anti-drag. Options include Always On, Shift (default) and Control.
  • Disable key: When this key is held down, anti-drag will be deactivated if currently active. Options include None (default), Shift and Control.


More Examine Info

Examining an item will now give you the Grand Exchange and High and Low Alchemy values. Items which are untradeable will not show the Grand Exchange value, and items which cannot be alchemised will not show the High or Low Alchemy values.

You can adjust this feature in the settings.


The team is hard at work on future updates for the Steam client, including Clue Scrolls! We hope to have more info to share soon.

[hr][/hr]
[h2]iOS Closed Beta[/h2]



The Closed Beta for the new iOS client is here! Here are the features you can look forward to:
  • Buff Bars
  • Fishing Spot Indicators
  • HUD Improvements (NPC Information and Combat Styles)
  • Agility and Slayer Helpers
  • Chambers of Xeric Helper
  • Woodcutting and Ore Respawn Timers
  • Increased Draw Distance
  • Navigation Tile Indicators
  • Chat Improvements
  • Entity Highlights for NPCs (new to mobile)
  • And more!


[h3]Please be aware of potential mobile phishing scams. If you're unsure about any communication you've received, check your account mailbox to verify legitimacy.[/h3]


Successful applicants have been contacted through their account mailbox and should also receive email confirmation from the Apple Store now that the Beta is live.

All further communications will be through the official Old School RuneScape Discord in the exclusive #iOSBetaAnnouncements, #iOSBetaBugs, #iOSBetaFeedback and #iOSBetaGeneral channels. Join us there to catch the latest news and share your experience with the iOS client!

We’re aware of the following issues:
  • The UI appears too small on devices that use a 4:3 aspect ratio.
  • Collapsing the Minimap on mobile can cause the Multiway Combat Icon to disappear behind it.
  • The Gauntlet Timer displays incorrectly on the Side Panel.
  • Interfaces displayed in the top left ‘dodge’ the Side Panel when Chat is closed.
  • Using the Chatbox to DM other players or search the Grand Exchange or Bank can cause it to become unusable.
  • Some loading screen elements display incorrectly.
  • Minimap icons do not appear after going to areas which use LinkBelow.
  • There is misaligned text in a cutscene during A Tail of Two Cats.
  • Using the Entity Highlights feature causes large FPS drops in God Wars Dungeon instances.
  • Grid lines can appear in multiple places.
  • Inventory UI shifts slightly on some devices.

[hr][/hr]
[h2]Deadman Finale Re-Run[/h2]

Last week we mentioned the Deadman Finale Re-Run was finally ready, with the first beta going live Thursday, April 21st.

Unfortunately, we are having to postpone the beta once more until Friday, April 29th.

On March 30th, following our usual game update process, we quickly became aware of an issue that caused a small number of core systems that support both Old School and RuneScape to behave unexpectedly for a short period of time. These systems are the same ones we use to control our live architecture and manipulate configurations for things like Leagues, Deadman, the PvP Rota and the worlds used for our betas.

While the root cause is still being investigated, we are refraining from using these systems to avoid the issue occurring again and potentially causing further issues in-game.

We apologise for the delay and appreciate your patience as we work to ensure the issue is resolved so we can configure worlds to be used for the first Deadman Reborn Re-Run beta on the 29th.

[hr][/hr]
[h2]Other Changes[/h2]
  • Removed some trees between the Revenant Caves’ south entrance and exit.
  • The Book of Darkness (or) is now recognised as a Zarosian item.

Don't forget that next week on April 27th is the launch of Beneath Cursed Sands!

You won’t want to miss this one as it's not only is it the first continuation of the Desert storyline since 2007, completion of the quest is also required for Tombs of Amascut.

So lace up those sandals and refill your Waterskins as we get ready to travel back the Desert once more!

Giants' Foundry - Concept & Rewards



After months of secrecy, it’s finally time to give you the full details of the Giants’ Foundry – an all-new Smithing skilling method built by the giants of Gielinor and operated by YOU!

To access the minigame, you’ll need to play through a short quest. Let’s take a look!

[hr][/hr]
[h2]Sleeping Giants Quest[/h2]

The saying goes ‘Let sleeping giants lie’, but in this quest, you’ll do exactly the opposite!

Giants have existed in Old School RuneScape for years, but how much do we really know about them? Sleeping Giants is a new intermediate quest designed to reveal more about this mysterious race.

In it, you’ll help Kovac, a giant who’s discovered an ancient workshop built to his proportions! Delve into the giants’ murky past, rebuild their Foundry, and start smithing swords for giants all across Gielinor!

Quest Requirements

[expand]
  • 15 Smithing

[hr][/hr]
[h2]Giants' Foundry Minigame[/h2]



After completing Sleeping Giants you’ll have all the know-how you need to start Smithing in the Giants’ Foundry.

This is a non-instanced and non-combat safe minigame accessible to all Old School RuneScape members.

The Foundry began with a simple question – how can we make Smithing more interesting and engaging? We wanted a process that was more exciting than just taking a bar to an anvil and hammering away for a couple of seconds. Thus, the Giants’ Foundry requires you to use all your skill and perseverance to forge swords of giant proportions!

Working on a commission given by Kovac, you’ll have to find the perfect sword design, choose the metal according to your chosen difficulty, and work the preform with a variety of tools to get the perfect killing edge.

But be careful - each resource used in this minigame has the potential to offer more value per bar but if you're not paying close attention, you could lose both the resource and experience!

[hr][/hr]
[h2]Gameplay[/h2]

Setup

Before you can start working on a sword, you’ll need to pick up a commission from Kovac, set the mould, fill the crucible, and pour the liquid metal you’ve chosen.

Commissions define what kind of blade you’ll be making using two descriptive words. For example, you might receive a commission from a giant who wants a sword that’s ‘narrow’ and ‘spiked’.

You’ll need to keep that description in mind when you choose a mould. Look through Kovac’s Mould Library for the best match. The closer the match you find, the higher quality your sword will be when you start forging – so choose wisely!

Note that the points you gain here won’t affect how difficult it is to make the sword – that’s all determined by the type of metal you choose.

A look at the Mould Library interface.


Speaking of which, once you’ve selected and set your mould you’ll need to move on to the crucible – the big stone bucket chained above the river of lava. The crucible heats and liquefies the metal you put into it. It’ll accept Bronze, Iron, Steel, Mithril, Adamant or Rune Bars, or any metal item you want to recycle. You heard that right! Finally, a way to get rid of those unwanted Platebodies and Battleaxes!

Note that when recycling items, you won’t get back all the Bars it took to craft them – some material is always lost in the creation process!

A Giant’s Sword required 20 Bars worth of material, which is conveniently the exact same amount the crucible can hold. It’s like we did it on purpose!

Once you’ve filled the crucible you can pour the molten metal into your mould. The higher the tier of metal you’ve chosen, the longer the sword will take to shape, and the more precise the temperature range will have to be.

Kovac also believes that swords made of an alloy – a mixture of two or more different metals – will be better. That’s something to keep in mind!

Now, it’s time to cool off as we begin to work the blade!

Refinement

The refinement process lets you shape the raw preform you just created into a blade fit for a mighty giant!

You’ll have a variety of tools at your disposal:

  • Trip Hammer: Requiring a Hot, Hot, Hot sword, this tool is used to hammer out the imperfections on the blade.
  • Grindstone: Swords must be at a Medium Temperature to allow this tool to grind out the edge of the sword and make it smooth.
  • Polishing Wheel: Get that sword to a Cold Temperature to use this tool, which cleans up the blade and gives it a lovely shiny finish.
  • Lava Pool - Dip your sword into the lava and heat it up, ensuring it’s hot enough to use particular tools.
  • Waterfall - Use the crashing waves of the waterfall too cool your sword down in order to use certain tools.


Use the right tool at the right time, and you’ll increase the sword’s completion to 100%. You can track which tool to use at which heat range using the in-game HUD.

The Refinement HUD.


Using tools changes the temperature of the preform, which will also naturally cool down over time. Using the incorrect tool, or using the right tool outside the correct temperature range, will result in a lower-quality sword. If the quality of the sword reaches 0, you’ll have to hand it over to Kovac and try again. Be warned that quality can only ever be lost – you can’t get it back again!

If you manage to reach 100% completion without ruining the sword, you can hand it in to Kovac, who’ll reward you with some juicy XP and some Foundry Reputation. The higher the quality, the more rewards you’ll get!

Here’s an example of the refinement process:

  1. Decrease the initial temperature using the waterfall until the preform is cool enough to try the trip hammer.
  2. Cool the preform again to just below the yellow temperature range, then work it with the grindstone.
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the sword is almost complete.
  4. Cool the preform to the green temperature zone, then use the polishing wheel to finish the job!
  5. Hand the finished sword to Kovac to complete the commission.


[hr][/hr]
[h2]Experience[/h2]

So, what does the experience rate look like? Where does it fit into the existing Smithing metas?

Here’s where we think Giants’ Foundry sits in comparison to other skilling methods:

  • Blast Furnace: This content is click-intensive and accordingly rewards you with more XP and greater profit, especially when using the most optimal setups.
  • Cannonballs: One of the more AFK styles of training Smithing, which results in good profit but little XP.
  • Giants' Foundry: Our newest Smithing minigame will be moderately click-intensive and a more interactive experience than other methods. With a greater focus on XP, this content will be especially accessible to lower-level players. There’s also potential for profit.


After testing, we reckon that players can make between 10 and 20 swords per hour. Easier metals such as Bronze and Iron obviously require less effort, so players will be able to make more, whereas swords made with Adamantite or Runite will take longer but offer a greater reward.

We’ve also crunched the numbers for other skilling methods:

Method
XP Per Hour (Estimate)
Resources Used Per Hour
Gold at Blast Furnace - no Goldsmith Gauntlets
~150,000
6,000 Gold Ores
Gold at Blast Furnace - with Goldsmith Gauntlets
~375,000
6,000 Gold Ores
Creating 5 Bar Mithril items
~190,000 - 210,000
4,000 Mithril Bars
Creating 5 Bar Adamant items
~240,000 - 260,000
4,000 Adamantite Bars
Creating 5 Bar Rune items
~290,000 - 310,000
4,000 Runite Bars
Please note that these are rough estimations.


As you can see, current methods are resource-intensive. One of the key benefits of Giants’ Foundry is that you’ll use fewer materials per hour, giving you more XP per Bar. We estimate you’ll save at least 85% on resources compared to the methods listed above.

That’s a dramatic drop! We also believe that the XP given is well worth the interaction and click-intensity of the activities you’ll be doing in the Foundry.

Of course, XP gained is also dependent on how good you are at crafting swords – but overall, we think this will give more XP per resource than any other Smithing method in the game.

[hr][/hr]
[h2]Rewards[/h2]

Apart from the massive XP gains, completing commissions will also gain you Foundry Reputation, which you can use to purchase goodies from Kovac’s Reward Shop. Here’s what he’s got in stock!

Ore Packs

Ore Packs are a great way to purchase a variety of ores in one go, so you can get yourself ready for your next trip to the Giants’ Foundry.

Moulds

We thought it would be interesting if you could buy tools to help you improve your sword-smithing process within the minigame itself.

These extra moulds will help with all kinds of commissions and give you a leg up on quality before you even start Smithing. The better the mould, the higher Smithing level you’ll need, so you can train and gain all in one location.

Eight-Cannonball Mould

With Leagues III you got an eight-sided cannon, so it’s only fitting that you now get an Eight-Cannonball Mould! This mould lets you use two Steel Bars to smith eight Cannonballs at once, doubling your production speed!

Smithing Catalyst

Using this unstackable item when creating Bars at a furnace (excluding the Blast Furnace) will not only halve the amount of Coal required but will also double the XP given!

However, the Catalyst will be consumed when the Bar is made, so you’ll need plenty of them to go around!

Kovac's Grog

A brew made by Kovac himself! This (supposedly) tasty Grog will give you a temporary Smithing boost of +4. Just don’t tell health and safety…

Hill Giant Club Ornament Kit

It wouldn’t be fair for you to craft all these swords without taking one home for yourself! This Kit takes Obor’s weapon – the Hill Giant Club – to new heights with a Giants’ Foundry-themed giant sword skin.

Giants’ Helmet

One of the more unique rewards we’re offering is the Giants’ Helmet, which fits remarkably well considering it’s made for a giant’s head. It’s a completely cosmetic item and won’t give you any extra protection – although it sure looks like it does!

[hr][/hr]
Well, that's all for the Giants’ Foundry – although we would like you to check out our new and improved feedback system. Click on the button below and you’ll be whisked away to a survey where you can tell us your thoughts. Your feedback is super-important to us, so give us all the opinions you got!

Easter 2022 | Weekly Game Update (April 13th)

We’re back! This week, the Easter bunny needs your help (again!), so get ready for a choco-tastic adventure!

[hr][/hr]
[h2]Easter Event 2022 [/h2]

It’s nearly Easter and our favourite Bunny has once again got himself in a bit of a sticky situation! Is anyone surprised?

Easter Bunny hanging around next to a bunch of junk.


This time, he’s decided to deliver chocolate to the increasing number of adventurers hanging out in the desert. There’s just one problem: chocolate and heat are not good bedfellows!

In search of an answer he’s come to Al Kharid, the hottest place he can stand, to seek advice. Unfortunately, giant pink rabbits aren’t exactly commonplace in this neck of the woods, and he’s frightened off their best and brightest! Can YOU, as a slightly less weird-looking adventurer, ask around on his behalf?

Help out, and you’ll be rewarded with two eggciting bits of headgear! One is bursting with spring fashion, and the other, while technically a ring, does land you with something on your head once equipped. Eggstraordinary!

An Eggcellent new piece of FashionScape.


[hr][/hr]
[h2]Revenant Caves Changes [/h2]

We’ve made an important change to the Revenant Caves: the entrances are now all one-way, meaning you can no longer exit the same way you entered.

One of the Rev Caves entrances & new exit.


Instead, there are now two new exits a few tiles away from each entrance. Using these exits will place you neatly on the surface, outside a one-way trapdoor.

Collapsed rubble now surrounds the entrance and new stairs have appeared.


Visually, the entrances look the same and all other functionality, including entrance fees, remains the same.

[h2]Guardians of the Rift [/h2]

Before we move on to this week’s changes, a quick PSA. We recently added two more activity worlds for Guardians of the Rift. Unfortunately, the worlds selected are free-to-play and therefore cannot access the minigame. The correct worlds will be available from Monday 18th. Apologies for the delay!

Now, here’s what’s changed this week:
  • Players will now gain Polyelemental Guardian Stones when crafting Combination Runes during Guardians of the Rift. They will award 3 Elemental Contribution Points instead of the 2 awarded by an Elemental Guardian Stone.
  • The Raiments of the Eye will no longer provide additional Guardian Stones while crafting Combination Runes.
  • Players may now sell their excess Abyssal Lanterns and Dyes for 100 Abyssal Pearls and 50 Abyssal Pearls, respectively.
  • Increased points awarded for building the first barrier and repairing a cell tile.
  • Weaker Guardian Cells can now be upgraded at more powerful altars without having to destroy the weaker Cell.
  • Swapped the options on the Deposit Pool so that ‘Deposit Runes’ is now the default left-click option. Maybe keep your entity swapper off for this one!
  • Confirm-on-destroy options have been added to Guardian Fragments and all types of Guardian Stones.
  • Guardians of the Rift completions have been added to the HiScores.
  • The Abyssal Lantern no longer attaches to the Robe Bottoms of the Eye on male characters. Fire hazard averted!
  • Wizard Traiborn will now have two dialogue options for players working on Demon Slayer and Temple of the Eye at the same time.
  • Fixed a graphical issue that made portals look active at the start of a game.


And here's the issues we hotfixed before today's update:
  • The Ring of the Elements may now only be uncharged at a Bank area.
  • Players can no longer receive any other Essence Pouches while in possession of a Colossal Pouch. Upon your next login, any extra Pouches will be removed if you have a Colossal Pouch.
  • Players with reduced Agility levels can no longer get trapped in side areas of the Temple of the Eye.


In a future update we plan to let you recolour the Lost Bag and Amulet of the Eye, so hang on to your spare dyes if you'd like to recolour these!

[hr][/hr]

[h2]Deadman Finale Re-Run[/h2]

We recently announced in March's Edition of the Gielinor Gazette that we'll be hosting the Open Beta on April 20th. Unfortunately you'll have to wait an extra day to participate in the Open Beta as we are moving it to Thursday, April 21st. We'll be sharing more details shortly and we are still commited to hosting the final you deserve. Thank you for your continued patience.

[hr][/hr]
[h2]Other Changes [/h2]

  • Equipping the Dragonhunter Crossbow and Crystal Platelegs will no longer cause stretching.
  • The ‘Chop’ option on the dead trees adjacent to the Death Altar’s exit portal no longer obstruct its ‘Use’ option.
  • Bosses now spawn with reduced delays in endurance fights in the Nightmare Zone.
  • The ‘Back to Bank’ button on the Group Storage screen is now removed properly when not required.
  • Using artefacts on the Pyramid Plunder Mummy will now prompt relevant dialogue.
  • Nex now consistently spawns a Blood Reaver in duo scale.
  • Fixed an animation glitch with the Home Teleport.
  • Grammar fixes.

[h2]PvP World Rota [/h2]

Our team is now performing maintenance on our world deployment systems. To ensure this work goes smoothly we'll be removing the PvP World Rota for the foreseeable future to reduce the number of world changes. This means all target PvP worlds are now available.

Old School Runescape mod fired in 2018 for stealing player gold wins unfair dismissal complaint




In 2018, Jagex fired Old School Runescape moderator Jed Sanderson—known to the community as Mod Jed—for "gross misuse of moderator privileges": Specifically, that he was stealing huge amounts of in-game currency from other players. But the Cambridge Employment Tribunal in the UK has determined that Sanderson was unfairly terminated, and awarded him damages as a result...

New Membership and Shop Price Changes

[h2]New Membership & Shop Price Changes[/h2]

On May 4, 2022, we will be changing the price of membership for new members and those who’ve been unsubscribed for more than 14 days.

Don't forget though - if you're a member and don't lapse out for more than 14 days, you're eligible to keep your current rate of membership. Subscribe now to secure access to all of Old School RuneScape's members' content at current prices.

Old School RuneScape Shop Items and Services prices will also be changing. Bonds can still also be used to enjoy all paid elements in our games purely through playtime.

In the last 4 years, we have seen rising development costs, inflationary rises globally and fluctuations between international currencies. Today’s changes reflect this. As always, we’re committed to providing the best value for your membership with meaningful content updates and improvements to our services.

Thanks again for your ongoing support. Visit our FAQ if you have any further questions.
