Royal Titans Combat Achievements & 12th Birthday Rewards are here!

Changelog - February 18th

Royal Titans Combat Achievements
  • Royal Titans Combat Achievements are here! Take on a new set of Easy to Elite tasks, including speed challenges, perfect kills, and teamwork feats to test your skills.
  • Already ahead of the game? If you've met the requirements, your Kill Count and Speed Achievements will auto-complete as soon as you open the CA interface!
Royal Titans Changes
  • The HP threshold for joining an ongoing Royal Titans fight has been lowered from 510 to 450, allowing you to enter at a slightly later stage.
  • Added a "Quick-start" option when right-clicking the entrance at the Royal Titans to directly create a fight.
  • The Twinflame staff will now grant a reduction of 1 action delay when finishing off a Royal Titan minion with the echo hit from a bolt/blast/wave spell. This behaviour already exists for all other weapons/spells when you kill a Royal Titan minion.
Royal Titans Drop Rates
  • If solo, Branda and Eldric will drop Prayer Scrolls and Twinflame staff pieces at a rate of 1 in 75. The Giantsoul amulet drops at a rate of 1 in 16.
  • In a duo, assuming both players contribute exactly 50% of the damage to each of the titans, the Prayer Scrolls and Twinflame staff pieces drop at a rate of 1 in 150. The Giantsoul amulet drops at a rate of 1 in 32. This means that if you're killing the Titans twice as fast in a duo and doing exactly 50% of the damage, your time to obtain uniques is exactly the same. Since duos tend to be more than twice as fast, you should always obtain uniques faster if you're pairing up with another player.
  • Regular loot quantities and unique drop rates are based on your individual contribution. If you're a mid-level account duoing with a maxed-out Scythe/Torva user, your chances to see uniques in your name will feel lower.
  • There's no MVP system at play, so both players can obtain uniques and pets on the same kill. The pet rate is 1 in 3,000, or 1 in 1,500 when sacrificing, neither of these rates scale with contribution.
  • Hard Clue Scrolls drop at a rate of 1 in 25, whereas Elite Clue Scrolls 1 in 100. Contribution doesn't matter for these.
OSRS 12th Birthday Rewards
  • Head to the Party Room and chat with Deviled Dave to claim your classic Imp outfit.
  • Once you've collected this year's reward, you'll also unlock the ability to reclaim any past birthday rewards you may have missed by speaking with Party Pete.
    • Alternatively, you can unlock this feature through the rewards table - but remember, you'll still need to talk to Deviled Dave if you want to receive this year's rewards.
  • If your account is too new to claim tradeable rewards you’ll be able to reclaim them from the reward table once you've accrued enough playtime.
Client and Mobile Updates
  • Fixed an issue where hotkeys were displaying incorrectly on some devices and could not be opened
Other Changes
  • Clans can now track the 'last seen' dates of their members of all ranks, rather than only those who are administrators or above. As this tracking can now affect considerably more people than before, a new option in the Settings menu will give you the choice to stop your 'last seen' date from updating each day, in case you would prefer your clan not to know you've been active.
  • Fixed a bug where items with Trailblazer Tool kits could not be equipped from the bank menu if using the Trailblazer Reloaded style.
  • The Magic Guild portals have been updated to remove non-functional extra options, and to clarify what they do.
  • We've fixed an issue where viewing another player's Collection Log in their Player-Owned House could incorrectly update your Collection Log hiscores to reflect their progress instead of your own. Your hiscores will now always display your personal Collection Log progress as intended.
PvP Rota

The PvP rota has moved to Period A:

  • 539 - (US) - PvP World
  • 318 - (UK) - Bounty Hunter World
  • 548 - (Germany) - High-Risk PvP World
  • 577 - (US) - Free-to-Play PvP World
  • 559 - (UK) - LMS Competitive

World 390 (AUS) for LMS Competitive has been activated with this rota.

World 569 (AUS) for Bounty Hunter has been activated with this rota.

The PvP Arena is using '1 Def Pure' loadouts in Ranked Duels and Tournaments this week.

  • Added a "Quick-start" option when right-clicking the entrance at the Royal Titans to directly create a fight.

And before we move on, here are the drop rates for the Royal Titans' uniques!

  • If solo, Branda and Eldric will drop Prayer Scrolls and Twinflame staff pieces at a rate of 1 in 75. The Giantsoul amulet drops at a rate of 1 in 16.
  • In a duo, assuming both players contribute exactly 50% of the damage to each of the titans, the Prayer Scrolls and Twinflame staff pieces drop at a rate of 1 in 150. The Giantsoul amulet drops at a rate of 1 in 32. This means that if you're killing the Titans twice as fast in a duo and doing exactly 50% of the damage, your time to obtain uniques is exactly the same. Since duos tend to be more than twice as fast, you should always obtain uniques faster if you're pairing up with another player.

  • There's no MVP system at play, so both players can obtain uniques and pets on the same kill. The pet rate is 1 in 3,000, or 1 in 1,500 when sacrificing, neither of these rates scale with contribution.
  • Hard Clue Scrolls drop at a rate of 1 in 25, whereas Elite Clue Scrolls 1 in 100. Contribution doesn't matter for these.

12 Years of OSRS - Let's Celebrate!


Twelve years of OSRS – now that’s something worth celebrating! The Party Room in Falador is getting a birthday makeover, and we’re inviting everyone to join the fun. Expect cake, decorations, and some mischievous imps running about!
Meet Deviled Dave – The Snack-Loving Imp!



At the heart of the celebration is Deviled Dave, a sneaky-looking man with an insatiable appetite for deviled eggs and all things impish. Find him tucked away in the corner of the Party Room, and chat with him to get your hands on a brand-new imp costume! The costume, inspired by the classic imp design, includes a hood and tail that’s sure to have you looking the part.



But that’s not all! Deviled Dave isn’t just here to feast on deviled eggs - he’s also your go-to guy for reclaiming past Birthday rewards. If you’ve missed out on any event items over the years, have a word with Dave, and he’ll sort you out. After that, you’ll unlock access to Party Pete’s all-new Birthday rewards menu, where you can grab any old event items you might have missed. You can also unlock this through the rewards table - but you'll still need to chat with Dave if you want to claim this year’s goodies.

Newer to the game? No worries! If your account is too fresh to claim the tradeable rewards, you’ll be able to reclaim them from the rewards table once you’ve put in enough playtime.

And what’s a birthday without cake? Grab a slice of birthday cake to heal 3 HP – it even matches the colour of the cake! Don’t forget the party snacks on the tables; click to grab a bite and heal 3 HP. But be warned: if you try to grab too many snacks at once, you’ll get a fun little reminder to pace yourself.



Don’t miss out on the fun – grab your imp costume, chow down on some snacks, and reclaim your past rewards today! We’ll see you in Falador - just don’t eat all the cake at once!

[h2]Discord events[/h2]

Just in case you missed it, we've also set up some fun Discord channels! Get involved over on the OSRS Discord:

  • #12-yrs-of-memories channel: Share your most nostalgic RuneScape memories - we'd love to see them!
  • #tattoo-suggestions Send us your suggestions! Artists, Mods Jerv & Skylark will pick some favourites to sketch for the Special Birthday Livestream.
  • #nostalgic-countdown Vote on and relive the most iconic RuneScape moments! Were you more of a “Free stuff pl0x & dance” or a “Buying GF?” kinda player? Pick your favourite!
  • #birthday-cakes The competition has now closed, and it’s time to see the community’s culinary creativity! Three finalists have been selected, and Twitch chat will decide the ultimate winner LIVE on stream! Don’t miss it!

[h2]Catch the Action on Twitch![/h2]

We'll be showcasing a lot of this content on the OldSchoolRS Twitch channel on Thursday, February 20th at 16:30 GMT. Plus, Mods Kieren and Rice will be joining us to host a classic Castle Wars showdown - with a chaotic twist!

Last week, we revealed the details of this special game mode, where two J-Mods will go head-to-head with a unique challenge - Mods Kieren and Rice will act as tanky, high-HP targets for each team! Players must either defend their J-Mod or take down the enemy’s, all while navigating the mayhem of Castle Wars. J-Mods won’t be able to run, but their HP will be buffed to the nines, making them incredibly tough to take down - so expect absolute chaos on the battlefield!

Missed the breakdown? Check out last week’s blog for all the details, and be sure to tune in live to watch the madness unfold!

Poll 83 Improvements

Royal Titans: A Titanic Success!


Well, well, well… looks like you lot can’t get enough of fighting massive, furious, elemental juggernauts. Who would've thought?

It’s been awesome seeing players gather at the entrance, teaming up, and working out strategies before diving into battle. Newer players are getting the hang of gear switching and mechanics, while the PvM veterans are pushing the fight to its limits with optimizations we didn’t even expect. One of our biggest goals with this boss was to ease players into gear switching by making it a core part of the encounter - dodging fire and ice, handling minions, and keeping up with changing threats. From what we’re seeing, mission accomplished!

If you can’t see the image above, click here!

The Royal Titans fill an important PvM space in the mid-game. Players usually start their PvM journey with Scurrius, Barrows, and Fire Cape attempts before moving into more complex content. The Titans sit comfortably in that progression, helping bridge the gap before stepping into fights like Zulrah. Learning gear-switching and movement mechanics here will set you up nicely for tougher encounters like Raids.

A lot of the mechanics were inspired directly by the community, including the addition of Desiccated Pages, which have been a big hit. You've also enjoyed the new Prayer Scrolls, which are particularly popular among Iron players attempting the Corrupted Gauntlet.

[h2]Bug Fixes and Improvements[/h2]

As the dust settles, we’ve taken the time to make some changes based on your feedback:
  • Players can now exchange Giantsoul Amulets with the Odd Old Man for 30 Big Bones each.
  • World 567 is now the suggested Royal Titans world.
  • The enrage slam animation is no longer delayed by a tick on certain occasions.
  • Fixed a bug where a Titan’s body disappeared upon death, its base persisted after respawning, and ice remained in the arena for the next fight.
  • The Prayer filter will no longer show older Prayer icons after they are upgraded.
  • Teleporting out of the Royal Titans boss arena will now nullify any incoming damage to prevent death.
  • Tagged minion hitboxes have been scaled down and no longer take up so much space.
  • On sacrifice, if a player doesn't receive the pet, a message will appear in the chatbox to say: "You don't feel lucky during your sacrifice".

There are some other points of feedback we’d like to address today.

Minion Attack Delay Adjustments
Right now, when minions are killed, the Titans’ attack delay is reduced - one tick per minion. If all three are taken out at once, the next attack happens three ticks sooner. Some players have suggested removing this delay entirely, but we feel that could be a bit too strong. For now, we’re happy, but we’re keeping an eye on it.

Looting Mechanics
Soloing the fight? You’ll still only get one set of loot. If you're taking the titans down as a pair, your regular loot and unique chances will scale depending on your damage contribution. This boss was designed with duo play in mind, and we wanted to take a key learning from Scurrius by calculating pet rolls without taking contribution into account. In short, the more Titans you take down, the better your odds of getting the pet!

Entry Restrictions
Once the Titans’ HP drops below 85%, no new players can enter the fight. This prevents issues with reward distribution, protects GIM prestige, and ensures future Combat Achievement balance, but it is something we'll continue to think about.

Grouping System
No official grouping system is planned, but we’ve allocated four Royal Titans worlds and updated the grouping Clan Chat world to make finding a partner easier. And if all else fails, there’s always the community Discord!

Future Use for Giantsoul Amulets?
Many of you have asked if extra Giantsoul Amulets will have another purpose. Well, we know an NPC who knows a thing or two about bones... and the Odd Old Man is always interested in a good trade!

The Royal Titans have brought a fresh and engaging mid-level PvM experience to Old School RuneScape, and we’ve loved seeing players take on the challenge. We’ll continue monitoring feedback and making adjustments where needed, but for now, keep the discussions going, keep refining your strategies, and most importantly - keep taking on the Titans!

The Big 1-2! A Livestream Birthday Bash to Behold…


Old School RuneScape is turning 12 this month! While the in-game event arrives next week, we’re kicking off the festivities early with some chaotic, nostalgic, and maybe even cake-fueled activities. Join us on February 20th from 16:30 to 18:00 GMT over on the OldSchoolRS Twitch channel for a celebratory livestream!

[h2]J-Mod Castle Wars: Ultimate Escort Edition[/h2]

We’re taking your classic Castle Wars experience and turning it into something truly chaotic. Two J-Mods will battle it out in a special Castle Wars game mode, with Mods Kieren and Rice acting as your team’s not-so-subtle secret weapons. They’re walking, talking, tanky targets!

Here's the breakdown:
  • At the start of the game, the enemy J-Mod will yeet themselves (technical term) directly into your base to steal your flag. Rude.
  • But these ain't no ordinary J-Mods... Their HP will be buffed to the nines and they'll be tankier than a full Justiciar enjoyer at the Inferno, so don’t expect them to be an easy takedown.
  • Your mission? Defend your base by preventing the enemy J-Mod from escaping, or race to the rescue and escort your J-Mod home safely!


J-Mod Rules:
  • J-Mods must walk only - no running allowed!
  • J-Mods can only start moving at the 18-minute mark, giving you and your team time to build up a strategic defence.
  • J-Mods can attack you back, including Chins and Barrage! So watch your back and be ready with those protection Prayers.
  • J-Mods will pick their gear before the match starts - so no sneaky swaps mid-game.
  • Underground tunnels are off-limits to J-Mods… unless they want to be obliterated by falling rocks.

[h2]Bake Off: Gielinor Edition[/h2]

Got a sweet tooth and a love for all things OSRS? Bake an OSRS-Themed Birthday Cake for our competition and be in with a chance to win some amazing prizes! You’ve got until February 17th to put on your Cooking Gauntlets and whip up a cake worthy of the gods (or at least one that won’t get insta-binned by the Lumbridge Cook).
  • When? February 10th (09:00 GMT) to February 17th (21:00 GMT)
  • Submit your culinary creations to the #birthday-cakes channel on Discord or post them on Reddit.

The top three cakes will be shown on stream, and Twitch chat will pick the ultimate winner!

A grand prize for the Champion Baker includes:
  • A RuneScape Kingdoms: Shadow of Elvarg board game
  • A RuneScape Cookbook
  • A whole YEAR of membership

[h2]Tattoo Shenanigans[/h2]

Mods Jerv (Concept Artist) and Skylark (Character Artist) have been ink-spired by your #tattoo-suggestions on Discord and have been hard at work sketching up some OSRS-themed masterpieces. What did they come up with? A majestic Saradomin eagle? A full-back tattoo of the Wise Old Man’s luscious beard? Tune in to find out!

And lastly, don’t forget to drop your nostalgic RuneScape memories in the #12-yrs-of-memories channel on Discord! Whether it’s your first 99, that unforgettable PKing moment, or the time you spent three hours lost in the Brimhaven Dungeon (we’ve all been there), we’d love to see them!

It’s time to party like it’s 2013 - see you there!

    • Note: If you turn the camera shake off in the Monkey Madness tunnels, you will still be warned of impending crushing doom by a shadow briefly appearing under the your character before rocks fall, providing a clearer visual cue for incoming damage.
  • Reviewed and corrected recolouring inconsistencies across the game. As a result, some NPCs and locations have received slight visual adjustments. This includes a variety of items, most notably the blessed sickle which is brighter than before, making it easier to distinguish from its non-blessed variant.
  • Fixed a bug when switching out a Draynor Manor teleport from a teak portal.
  • Fixed a bug where Verac's set effect was ignoring damage immunity checks, such as those belonging to the mages at Nex.
  • You can no longer accidentally get repeat Jad or Zuk tasks by cancelling them through teleport.
  • We've rewritten the text that appears in your bank's potion storage when it's empty, aiming to make it a bit clearer.
  • The Grouping interface now correctly recognizes when a player has joined the Mage Training Arena chat channel.

Royal Titans


The Royal Titans are here! Grab a friend and go toe-to-toe with these gigantic foes, or else their elemental influence could engulf all of Gielinor. Alternatively, if you've got a bit of a hero streak, leave the friend at home and go it alone - but know that Branda and Eldric won't go easy on you!

The Royal Titans is a dual-boss encounter where you'll be tasked with taking on Branda, Queen of Fire and Eldric, King of Frost. Branda is expanding her empire of flame from beneath the Karamjan volcano, but she's on a collision course with Eldric's icy throne. To take them on, you'll want to head to the north-west of the Asgarnia Ice Dungeon and use the small cave next to the giant throne of ice (you can't miss it). Agile players can also use a shortcut just west of the entrance ladder to get there in a pinch.

Get up close to the Royal Titans in this wonderful video, put together by the equally wonderful OnlyTrails!

https://youtu.be/I_Nk-JT5C6w?si=WA8uE7HcnyfTRERl
If you can’t see the video above, click here!

By the way, we’d love to hear your feedback about this style of video. Since the Royal Titans is designed to be a ‘teaching’ boss encounter, we felt comfortable showing off more of the gameplay than we usually would. Are we striking the right balance, or oversharing? Let us know!

This encounter should get you more familiar with gear switching. Rapidly switching between combat styles is a component of many endgame encounters and can feel daunting to learn, so we're building on the success of updates like Scurrius and Perilous Moons to introduce players to another important part of your PvM toolkit.

Having said that, this fight is a definite step up from the likes of Scurrius, so we'd 70+ combat and suitable gear for all three styles, such as the Perilous Moons gear, Black Dragonhide, Mystic Robes, and Abyssal Whip, a Rune Crossbow… or whatever else you’re comfortable with!

Here’s how you can use each combat style against the Titans:
  • Melee: your bread and butter. Both Branda and Eldric are weak to Melee, so whenever you have the chance to get up close and personal, you should take it.
  • Ranged: your time saver. Occasionally, the Titans will step out of Melee range or be inaccessible. You can of course wait them out, but you'd be better off bringing a Ranged switch (even if it's only a weapon and nothing else) to speed up those kills.
  • Magic: your control. Throughout the fight, you'll be bombarded with walls of flame, pillars of ice, and nasty minions matching the Titans' elements. You'll need Magic to manage the arena and keep on top of minions. Elemental Weaknesses come into play here, so make sure to bring the right runes for the job…

You’ll be switching like a pro in no time, and soon you’ll be able to tackle more challenging content like Zulrah, Nex, the Phantom Muspah, or even Raids!

In the arena, you’ll be able to join a friend’s instance in much the same way as you’d enter their Player-Owned House. Right-click the entrance cave, select ‘Join a fight’ and enter your friend’s character name. Afterwards, you’ll be able to click on the last name you entered, but you’ll be able to do multiple kills in one trip.

Note though that no more than two people can take on the Titans at once.
[hr][/hr]
Royal Titans Rewards


The Royal Titans have more unique rewards than regular loot, and they’re geared towards the player levels we’re targeting. This means they’re unlikely to be significant moneymakers, but the regular loot will certainly stack up as your kill times improve!

Importantly, you can only loot from one of the Titans per trip. If you’re in a duo, you and your friend can loot the same Titan, or different ones.

[h2]Twinflame Staff[/h2]

The Twinflame Staff is a tradeable, one-handed staff. It’s made from a regular battlestaff and two unique components dropped by Eldric and Branda, respectively. Every piece is tradeable.

If your target has an Elemental Weakness, the Twinflame Staff will automatically select the element that they're weak to and let you cast the appropriate spell without navigating your spellbook. The keen-eyed among you may notice that this will be especially useful when fighting the Royal Titans themselves!

More interestingly, this staff is a slow, heavy hitter, firing off spells every 6 ticks (3.6 seconds) instead of the usual 5 ticks (3 seconds). To compensate, we've given it an echo effect where any Bolt, Blast or Wave spell that you cast instead fires off two projectiles. The first hit rolls from 0 to 100% of your maximum hit, as you'd expect. The second hit lands a tick (0.6 seconds) after the first and deals 40% of the first hit's damage, rounded down. This slower attack speed gives the Twinflame Staff a weighty feeling, while resulting in less lost DPS if you happen to miss a tick or two.

This weapon shines against foes with Elemental Weaknesses, especially if you don’t have a Harmonised Nightmare Staff. When you’re done with the Titans, you might like to take it to Zulrah…

[h2]Deadeye Prayer Scroll[/h2]

Up next is the first of two untradeable Prayer scrolls. Looting Eldric will give you a shot at obtaining the Deadeye Prayer Scroll, which can be used to unlock Deadeye, a new Ranged prayer that overrides Eagle Eye and serves as a bridge between Eagle Eye and Rigour. Deadeye requires Level 62 Prayer, and while active will provide +18% Ranged Attack, +18% Ranged Strength and +5% Defence. You can use this alongside Steel Skin if you're in need of extra Defence, and the table below shows how it stacks up against other Ranged Prayers:

[h2]Mystic Vigour Prayer Scroll[/h2]

By looting Branda, you'll gain a chance to obtain the untradeable Mystic Vigour Prayer Scroll, which you can use to unlock Mystic Vigour. Mystic Vigour overrides Mystic Might and bridges the gap between Mystic Might and Augury. You'll need Level 63 Prayer to activate Mystic Vigour, and while active you'll gain +18% Magic Attack, +3% Magic Damage and +5% Defence. Just like Deadeye, this can be used alongside Steel Skin.

[h2]Giantsoul Amulet[/h2]

If you thirst for more giant blood, the Giantsoul Amulet will be a welcome pickup!

This untradeable teleportation amulet can be obtained from both of the Royal Titans. When charged with Big Bones and Law Runes, you can use it to teleport to the Royal Titans’ arena, Obor’s lair, or Bryophyta’s lair. No beanstalk required!

[h2]Desiccated Pages[/h2]

Desiccated Pages are magically imbued pages that have sadly crumbled to dust. Don’t worry though – you can recycle them into Burnt, Soaked, or Soiled Pages instead.

These uncommon, untradeable drops can be obtained from either Titan. If you’re a proper page fan, you can also use the ‘Take Pages’ option to sacrifice any other loot (excluding the pet) and guarantee a bundle of ‘em.

In short, this is a combat-focused way to target-farm Pages. That also means that you can get a bit Tome-happy during the fight, or whenever you’re using your new Twinflame Staff.

To transform your Desiccated Pages, take them to the new plinths in Arceuus, the Ruins of Unkah, and south of Quetzacalli Gorge. You'll need level 50 Runecraft to convert your pages, and you’ll receive a spot of Runecraft XP in the process.

[h2]Pet[/h2]

The Royal Titans have a pet! We’ll let you discover what it looks like for yourselves.

Just like with Araxxor, you’ll be able to forego all loot and double your chances to obtain the pet by using the ‘Sacrifice’ option on either one of the Titans once they’ve been subdued.

[h2]Sum Up[/h2]

To summarize:
  • Head to the north-western portion of the Asgarnia Ice Dungeon to take on the Royal Titans.
  • Don’t forget to bring a friend!
  • Bring decent gear in all three Combat styles and be prepared to switch between them throughout the fight. Branda and Eldric aren't exactly pushovers, so we'd advise at least 70+ in your Combat stats and gear to match.
  • Take on the Titans.
  • Score sick loot like a brand-new Elemental Weakness-focused staff, untradeable Prayers to aid you ahead of unlocking Rigour and Augury, handy teleportation options, pages for your elemental Tomes and a cute pet to show off to your pals!
  • Repeat!

In case you want to team up, we've set up some worlds with the Activity 'Royal Titans'!
  • USE = 573
  • USW = 324
  • EU = 328
  • UK = 567

We'll see you in Asgarnia. Until then, stay frosty!

Bounty Hunter Changes


Towards the end of 2024, we shared with you some improvements we'd like to make to Bounty Hunter, and today those changes go live!

The aim is to address some common issues with build variety and balance, make some of the lesser-used rewards more worthwhile, and support different approaches to Honour PvP.

Conveniently, Bounty Hunter is confined entirely to Daimon's Crater on specific worlds, which lets us tinker with all kinds of options that would usually affect the rest of the game.

While we've shared all this info before, we'll save you trawling back through the archives and bring you up to speed on everything that's changing today, starting with changes to Bounty Hunter-exclusive gear!

[h2]Weapon and Armour Adjustments[/h2]

Remember, these changes pertain only to items that are obtained from and used within Bounty Hunter. Nothing that you see in this list has any impact on the wider game, so don't start running the numbers on whether or not the Dragon Longsword (bh) is worth using at the Wardens - it's not!

Ordinarily we'd use stats images for all of these, but there are far too many for us to go over so we'll save you some mobile data (we know you're reading this at work!) and pop it into a handy list for you all:
  • Dark Bow (bh): Increase Special Attack Energy from 45% to 55%.
  • Barrelchest Anchor (bh): Reduce Attack requirement from 60 to 50. Reduce Attack delay after a successful Special Attack by 2 ticks, meaning your next attack would hit 4 ticks after a successful Special Attack.
  • Dragon Mace (bh): Reduce Special Attack Energy from 25% to 15%.
  • Dragon Longsword (bh): Reduce Special Attack Energy from 25% to 15%.
  • Morrigan's Throwing Axe (bh): Buff Special Attack to have 150% Accuracy. Increase Special Attack damage from 20% - 120% to 50% - 150% of your max hit.
  • Morrigan's Javelin (bh): Buff Special Attack to have 150% Accuracy. The bleed damage from the Special Attack will occur every tick instead of every three ticks. The bleed damage from the Special Attack will be 75% of the initial damage. The bleeding damage will be increased from 5 to 10.
  • Statius's Warhammer (bh): Successful Special Attack hit will reduce the opponents' Defence by 75%, up from 30%.
  • Vesta's Spear (bh): Reduce attack delay after a successful Special Attack by 1 tick, meaning your next attack would hit 4 ticks after a successful Special Attack. Minimum damage for the second hit deals 50% of the initial damage, up from 25%. The maximum damage for the second hit is unchanged.
  • Zuriel's Staff (bh): Reduce Attack requirement from 75 to 30.
  • Morrigan's Armour: Nerfs to defensive capability.
    • Morrigan's Leather Body (bh): Reduce defences from 61 to 35 Stab, 53 to 30 Slash, 66 to 40 Crush, 62 to 37 Ranged.
    • Morrigan's leather chaps (bh): Reduce defences from 35 to 18 Stab, 29 to 15 Slash, 37 to 20 Crush, 35 to 22 Ranged.
    • Corrupted Morrigan's Armour: Nerfs to defensive capability.
    • Corrupted Morrigan's Leather Body (bh): Reduce defences from 27 to 14 Stab, 20 to 10 Slash, 24 to 12 Crush, 28 to 15 Ranged.
    • Corrupted Morrigan's Leather Chaps (bh): Reduce defences from 18 to 9 Stab, 15 to 7 Slash, 16 to 8 Crush, 19 to 11 Ranged.
  • Vesta's Armour: Nerfs to defensive capability so that Statius stands out as the tankier choice.
    • Vesta's Chainbody (bh): Reduce defences from 74 to 55 Stab, 81 to 59 Slash, 89 to 62 Crush, 95 to 85 Ranged.
    • Vesta's Plateskirt (bh): Reduce defences from 55 to 39 Stab, 64 to 42 Slash, 67 to 45 Crush, 71 to 59 Ranged.

  • Corrupted Zuriel's Robe Bottom (bh): Increase Magic bonus from 18 to 32.

These new stats should address imbalances between builds and add a bit more appeal to some historically overlooked unlocks. Let the meta shakeups begin!

… in one moment. First, we want to highlight some further changes to the charge costs of some of the Bounty Hunter items, which should better reflect their strength and popularity. While risking 50,000,000 GP for a Vesta's Longsword feels fair, risking the same amount for Statius's Warhammer just means that most people don't bother bringing their Warhammer out. Here are the new charge costs of five different weapons:
  • Vesta's Spear (bh): 5 million GP
  • Statius's Warhammer (bh): 10 million GP
  • Morrigan's Throwing Axe (bh): 5 million GP
  • Morrigan's Javelin (bh): 10 million GP
  • Zuriel's Staff (bh): 5 million GP


If you've already paid to charge some of these, we've added a message in-game to let you know that you're all the 1,000,000th visitor to Daimon's Crater and are eligible for a refund, which you can obtain by chatting to the Emblem Trader inside the lobby - don't spend it all at once!

[h2]Systems and Other Changes[/h2]

New stats aside, we’ve also made some changes to the underlying systems in Bounty Hunter to make this minigame a bit more enjoyable for everyone.

Up first, it's time to hang up those Phoenix Necklaces. The trusty Phoenix Necklace is fantastic to help stave off death in multi-combat PvP but can lead to some anti-fun play patterns in the 1v1 Honour PvP that occurs inside Bounty Hunter. Used correctly, they're able to make players - in lower brackets especially - effectively immortal. We believe fights would be more enjoyable without them, so we're throwing them out.

Next up, we’re doubling the rate at which players gain EP in the Crater when they have a target and a minimum risk of 50,000 GP. This won’t drastically increase your reward output, and we have high confidence in our anti-griefing systems. Remember though – we have zero tolerance for boosting in Bounty Hunter.

We also felt that Daimon’s Crater could use a splash of colour, so we’re bringing back the iconic Bounty Hunter skulls! These let you easily determine another players' risked GP and let you see whether or not a cheeky target might have sneakily pulled out a new Special Attack weapon at the Bank, or dumped a bunch of their risked GP on the sly. We’re also disabling trading inside the crater to prevent players swapping risk to another account before starting a fight! Here's how it works:
  • If you're risking less than 200,000 GP, you'll have a bronze skull.
  • If you're risking between 200,000 and 800,000 GP, you'll have a silver skull.
  • If you're risking between 800,000 GP and 2 million GP, you'll have a green skull.
  • If you're risking between 2 million and 8 million GP, you'll have a blue skull.
  • If you're risking more than 8 million GP, you'll have a red skull.


Rounding us off is perhaps the most significant of all of these changes: Supply Crates!

If you can’t see the image above, click here!

Not to be confused with Bounty Crates, Supply Crates are something you'll be able to put together in the lobby by stuffing 8 Blighted Manta Rays or Anglerfish, 1 Blighted Super Restore, 2 Blighted Karambwan and 1,000 GP into a crate. You can use noted items to make a bunch of crates, but you'll only be able to bring two into the crater with you. You'll be able to open these helpful care packages while in combat inside the crater to extend fights.

The aim here is to give prospective Bounty Hunters a better shot at killing their opponent and have more opportunities to do so before needing to bank. The nature of Bounty Hunter's Honour PvP means you're looking for that perfect window of opportunity: a flawlessly timed Vengeance, an opponent caught drinking a potion, a lightning-fast combo... you get the picture. If you're fighting a build that has higher DPS (for example, a Pure vs. a Zerker) then you'll often find yourself eating the entire time and leaving before getting the chance to at least try and kill your opponent, which isn't much fun for either of you!

Supply Crates mean you’ll spend less time returning to the lobby, and more time actually fighting. Combined with the EP changes above, we reckon this will improve the Bounty Hunter experience and considerably reduce downtime.

We’ll be keeping an eye out on your feedback about these changes, but for now, just go enjoy them!

Collection Log Updates


You might recall that back in May, we introduced some “absolutely cloggers” updates aimed at making your Collection Log journey smoother, more satisfying, and more fun to track. Well, good news - we’ve just added a fresh batch of updates, so let’s dive right in and take a closer look at what’s been added.

[h2]A fresh new look[/h2]

Let’s kick things off with the revamped Collection Log overview! We’ve given the interface a complete makeover to make tracking your progress smoother and more enjoyable. Everything is now neatly organized into a single, streamlined summary.

If you can’t see the image above, click here!

This fresh layout will make it a breeze to navigate your log, so you can stay focused on the important stuff: collecting. With all your progress in one place, you can effortlessly track your achievements and see how close you are to snagging those elusive items.

[h2]The ranking system[/h2]

We know hunting down those Collection Logs can be grind. To help you stay on track, we’ve added a ranking system based on how many collections you’ve logged.

Here’s what you’re working towards:
  • Bronze Rank: 100 collections
  • Iron Rank: 300 collections
  • Steel Rank: 500 collections
  • Black Rank: 700 collections
  • Mithril Rank: 900 collections
  • Adamant Rank: 1,000 collections
  • Rune Rank: 1,100 collections
  • Dragon Rank: 1,200 collections
  • Gilded Rank: Percentage based, 90% of total log slots rounded down to the nearest 25 (around 1,400 collections currently)

Additionally, along the bottom of your interface, you can now see the 12 most recent items added to your log - perfect for keeping track of your freshest loot at a glance.

To truly make the experience your own, the new interface is also resizable and movable. Plus, it stays open during other in-game actions, so you can track your progress seamlessly while skilling, fighting bosses, or engaging in other activities.

[h2]Cosmetic rewards[/h2]

When you hit certain milestones in your Collection Log, head over to The Collector in the Varrock Museum to claim your Staff of Collection. Reach new ranks, and you’ll earn a staff that matches the tier you’ve unlocked. The best part? You can Right-Click your staff to create an equipable corresponding book. Show off your Collection Log achievements in style!

If you can’t see the image above, click here!
[h2]Historical Clogs for Ironmen[/h2]

No, we’re not introducing charming wooden shoes to the game – but for Ironman players, this is just as good! You can now add historically gained items to your Collection Log.

We understand how frustrating it’s been that the Collection Log didn’t track items earned before its introduction in December 2018 - especially for those who’ve already completed the grind and don’t want to start over. But worry no more! If you’ve obtained these items as an Ironman, you can now retroactively fill in those slots by simply using the items on your Collection Log book.

So, how does it work?
  • This feature applies to a specific list of whitelisted, tradeable items that were part of the log when it launched.
  • Alternative or upgraded versions of certain items (e.g., Zaryte Crossbow instead of the Armadyl Crossbow used to craft it) can also be added.
  • Simply use the eligible item on your Collection Log book, and it’ll be recorded as part of your achievements.
  • Please note that Group Ironman accounts are not eligible for this feature since that game mode was introduced after the Collection Log.

Now you can finally display proof of your accomplishments - the Ironman way!

[h2]Collection Log HiScores[/h2]

Not only will you be able to flaunt your shiny new staff and book, but you’ll also have the chance to climb the ranks on our brand-new Collection Log HiScores board. Get collecting and see how far you can get!

Emote Improvements


[h2]Chat-triggered Emotes[/h2]

Ever wanted to show off your favourite emotes without navigating the emote menu? Now you can!

You can trigger emotes directly from the chat box. Just type "::" or "!" followed by the emote name. For example: "::cheer" or "!cheer" will make your character cheer. Yay!

[h2]Emote looping[/h2]

Get ready to groove because emote looping is here! You can now keep certain emotes like Dance, Jig, Headbang, Fortis Salute, and Sit Down going indefinitely, letting you show off your moves for as long as you like.

To loop an emote:
  1. Right-click the emote in the emote menu
  2. Select the Loop Emote option


Your character will continue performing the emote on repeat until you move or perform another action. So, grab those dancing shoes and let the endless celebrations begin!

If you can’t see the image above, click here!

[h2]Sit emote[/h2]

Need a break from all that adventuring? Take a seat - literally! A new sit emote has been added to your emote menu. This Sit emote will loop by default, making it perfect for chilling at the bank or around the campfire.

If you can’t see the image above, click here!

Now get out there and emote your heart out!
[hr][/hr]
Ahrim's Ornament Kit Returns


We’re happy to announce that players who purchased the Ahrim's Ornament Kit back when it incorrectly gave 3 kits instead of 4 will soon have their missing 4th kit returned!! All returns will be processed on February 4th, alongside other scheduled maintenance.

By aligning the returns with this maintenance, we can ensure that the process is completed smoothly and safely - without the risk of disrupting gameplay or accidentally booting anyone offline.

Thank you for your patience, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to return these items securely!

Bank QoL & Mini-menu Improvements | January 22nd



Today we have a couple of projects from Game Jam V, including Mini Menu Improvements and Bank QoL!
[hr][/hr]
PSA: Before we get started, please note that the Friends List and Friends Chat may be unavailable for a few minutes following today’s update. We expect this to be resolved very quickly, but content that relies on these systems (such as the Chambers of Xeric) will be impacted for a short while.

Game Jam Updates


Back in September we unveiled our talented J-Mods’ latest Game Jam projects! You can read all about them here. After an overwhelmingly positive poll, we're delighted to announce that Mini Menu Improvements and the Bank Deposit Refresh are now officially part of the game!

These changes are all about streamlining your gameplay and making life in Gielinor that little bit easier.

[h2]Mini Menu Improvements[/h2]

Hold onto your capes, folks – it's time to say “Hello!” to the shiny new Mini Menu teleport options!

We’ve all been there – you’re having trouble in a boss fight, it’s time to gracefully bow out, but you’re too busy dealing with a giant teleport menu! Annoying, right? Well, not any more!

Now, you can simply hover over your minimenu to see all your teleport options in a neat little submenu. With a couple of clicks you can travel anywhere you please! If you prefer the classic feel, you can always select the old ‘rub’ or ‘teleport’ options to access the traditional menu.

If you can’t see the image above, click here!

We’re pretty sure you’ll love the new system, but we want to hear from YOU! Share your thoughts on the Old School RuneScape Discord, Reddit, or X – we’re watching and waiting to hear how it feels in action.

[h2]Bank QoL[/h2]

Once you’ve teleported to the Bank, you’ll be glad to see that we have another update which makes restocking your gear a breeze!

In both the Bank screen and the Deposit Box menu, you can now lock individual slots.

If you can’t see the image above, click here!

Locking a slot means that when you hit the Deposit-All button, your locked items won’t be accidentally banked. Never again will you arrive at your Slayer Task to find that those all-important supplies are sat twiddling their thumbs next to your massive stacks of loot.

Remember, the menu locks the SLOT, not the ITEM. If you’ve rearranged your Inventory after locking your slots, you can right-click to ‘Unlock’ them again. They’re off by default and take the place of the usual ‘Examine’ option. Visit the new Deposit Lock Settings menu to toggle them on.

This is opened from the Bank's settings menu:

If you can’t see the image above, click here!

We’ve also revamped the Deposit Box layout to align with your inventory, making it easier and more intuitive to locate your items at a glance.

If you can’t see the image above, click here!

Additionally, if you’re tired of the deposit box asking how many items to deposit whenever you use items on it, you can now enable a setting to skip the item quantity check and always deposit everything in one go.

Lastly, we’ve moved the ‘Deposit Worn Items’ button further away to prevent misclicks.

We hope this delivers a smoother, hassle-free banking experience! Give it a try and share your thoughts - we’d love to hear from you!
[hr][/hr]
Leagues V Concludes


Just like that, Leagues V has come to an epic close! From the moment those buffs started shaking up gameplay to the jaw-dropping leaderboard races, it’s been a journey to remember. The speedruns, the echo boss takedowns, the grand skilling streaks... Leagues V truly brought out the best in everyone.

But now, as we hang up our Leagues boots, let's take a moment to reflect on the fierce competition, the creativity, and of course, the community spirit that made this event such a legendary experience. Head over to Lumbridge Courtyard and check out the League Firsts Board!

If you can’t see the image above, click here!

Congratulations to all the legends below:
  • First Kill of TzKal-Zuk: DV8
  • First unlock of a Tier 8 Relic: SoloMission
  • First unlock of a 5th area: Insanewolfy
  • First to achieve a level 99: Okke
  • First to achieve a total level of 2277: Jcw
  • First to complete solo TOA (expert): Rin Natsume
  • First to complete solo TOB: Widega
  • First to complete solo COX: Farmer McRee
  • First to fully complete a combat mastery path: Chriskies
  • First to kill an Echo Boss: frag s

[h2]Leagues V Reward Feedback[/h2]

We’ve been listening to your feedback on a few quirks with the Leagues reward kits, so let’s dive into some of the details and clear up any confusion!

Building Rugs and Curtains

So, you’ve been trying to place those fancy rugs and curtains from the Leagues kit, but something’s a bit... off? While other rewards (like the Nexus portal) let you just ‘Use’ the kit on your furniture, the rugs and curtains require a little more work.

So here’s the deal:

To place your new decor, you’ll need to right-click an empty hotspot, select ‘Build’, and pop into the Build menu. This system is consistent with how things worked for items of the same kind (think: Deadman Rug), but we're sorry if this threw you for a loop!

If you can’t see the image above, click here!

We’d love to hear whether this system works for you or if you’d prefer a different approach in future.

Reward kits Affecting Multiple vs. Single Items

Another head-scratcher has been how some rewards, like the Leagues V Spirit Tree Scroll, only affect one piece of furniture, while rewards in past Leagues let you slap the kit on everything of that type in your PoH.

So why the change?

Well, we wanted to give you more flexibility with your customization. When League VI rolls around we don’t want you to be stuck choosing just one style for your entire PoH. Imagine mixing and matching your Leagues V and League VI Portal Kits to create the perfect setup – now that’s what we call customisation!

We know it’s a shift, but we believe this will give you way more control over your PoH designs in the long run. As always, we appreciate your feedback and patience as we continue to refine and improve these systems. Keep those ideas coming – we’re listening!

And with that, another Leagues adventure wraps up... until next time!

[h2]Leagues V Reward bug fixes[/h2]

  • Restored the stats of the Virtus Mask. Additionally, it will no longer appear as “The Batman" floating head in the chat box.
  • Added functionality to remove the Raging Echoes scrolls from PoH furniture.
