    • Players will NOT need to build anything new using base camp resources alongside this update.

    Community Event - Osseous

    • Location: Base Camp
    • Obtain Rex skeletal fragments while excavating in Orthen and use them on the skeleton.
    • Upon completion all participants across will receive the "Roar of Osseous" while on Anachronia.
      • Boost is active across all worlds on worlds.
      • Artefact Restoration/Ranch Out of Time are not buffed as it would cause more "aura scape" issues.
      • Players may/may not be able to collect Osseous remains even while the buff is active.

    Roar of Osseous

    The 10% drop rate buff scales in instances where it would be extreme such as with Triple BGH Dinos

    Duration: 65 minutes

    • 25% more XP from activities on Anachronia:
      • Hunter (including all of BGH) | Slayer | Archaeology excavation | Agility course
    • 10% buff to the drop rates from:
      • Big Game Hunter | Slayer | Agility Course Codices | Archaeology Materials
      • Building Resources & Totem Pieces drop sources
    • Mattock Precision is increased slightly.

    Other Details

    • A buff bar icon will appear while it is active for players on Anachronia.
    • Players can see the skeleton from the lodestone.
      • It blocks off unused stairs but it doesn't prevent access to anything.
    • The rex skeleton is the same size as a Ranch Out of Time/BGH Rex.
      • It shares the same animation rig which may be used for something later.
    • In instances such as during Desperate Measures, Osseous only appears as legs.

    Potions

    General Notes

    • Potion recipe tablets are created from 4 tablet fragments found from excavations.
      • Each tablet is unique to a particular site.
      • Complete tablets are tradeable but fragments are not.
    • Holy Aggrooverload recipe can be made via different recipes so players can use their existing potions.
    • Powerburst of Opportunity is possibly extendable in the future.

    Potions

    Potion Level Effect
    Archaeology Potion 78 +3 Level boost to Archaeology.
    Summoning Renewal 88 Slowly restores summoning points and special move points over 6 minutes.

    Powerburst of Opportunity 103 Doubles your pickaxe damage/mattock precision for 10 seconds.
    Spirit Attraction Potion 116 Automatically collects spirits for 6 minutes. (Seren Spirit, Blessing of the gods, Fire spirits, Chronicles)

    Skilling Off-hands

    General Notes

    • Provide a core XP buff alongside other buffs.
    • Probably make more and make them augmentable in the future unless they are unpopular.
    • There are some balance concerns but they are intended the shake up the meta.
    • Thematically they are like hero items but they aren't hero items.
    • Unsure if you can use bladed dive while wielding them.

    Skilling Off-hands

        • Furnace Core - 5% XP buff for 5 minutes (can be refreshed)
      • Chance to spawn a Forge Phoenix instead of a Fire spirit while Firemaking OR Smithing.
        • Forge Phoenix - Superior Fire Spirit drop table including Onyx dust, Phoenix feathers, etc.
        • Divine Forge Phoenix - Superior Divine Fire Spirit drop table including Porters 5/6.
        • Divine Forge Phoenixes appear under the same criteria required for a Divine fire spirit.
    • Artificer's Measure - Crafting/Construction

      • Ithell Clan Blessing is always active while doing harmonium harps in Prifddinas.
      • Chance at duplicating any manufactured items while glassblowing and firing urns.

    Relics

    General Notes

    • They are obtained the same way Relics are usually found.
    • Players will be able to earn a reward to increase the Monolith's power.
    • Relic powers are always active and are NOT chance based.
    • There will NOT be a 4th relic slot with this update.

    Relics

    • Evil Bob's Cat Paw - Fishing will provide cooked fish rather than raw fish. (Half Cooking XP)
      • Works with porters. (Will look into the shark outfit interaction).
      • No burn chance.
      • The paw is not real, it's a replica.
      • While on Evil Bob's island this relic allows you fish raw fish.
    • Soma (Flask of Soma) - a dragonkin delicacy that will increase your archaeological precision... at a price.
      • Benefit: Increases base precision (+20% boost).
      • Drawback: You don't gain soil while this is active.
    • Kaladanda Staff - Bone and Ashes will be dropped in their noted form.
      • Bonecrusher Active - Takes priority and crushes the bone.
      • Bonepicker Active - Relic notes the bone and bonepicker picks it up.
      • Prayer Urns - Takes priority and fills up the urn.
      • A magical staff that probably belonged to a key dragonkin back in the day.

    Jagex, before RuneScape is released on Steam, PLEASE move The Curator from Burthorpe.

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 05:37 PM PDT

    I made a post a few weeks ago about this issue when the new Yak Track came out, but now that RuneScape is coming to Steam in a few days, I think it is important to reiterate:

    The Curator (and by extension, the Yak Track) is extremely confusing for new players.

    Here is a bit of what I posted a few weeks ago, that is relevant to this issue:

    Being situated right where new players first step into Gielinor, it stands to reason that many fresh faces would attempt to talk to The Curator. In turn, they will be met with a detailed dialogue about Seren, Kerapac, experiments, and anima, and will even be tasked to travel all the way to Anachronia to find flower specimens, complete with a book to log them. What is a new player supposed to think?

    A while ago, when Burthorpe and Taverley were reworked, Mod Stu(?) and others went on about "cognitive load" and making sure that too much information wasn't pushed onto a new player immediately after starting the game. Right now, it seems pretty clear that the people in charge of the Yak Track do not care whatsoever about this.

    With the possible stream of new players coming from Steam, The Curator's current location in Burthorpe is potentially disastrous for the release. A great deal of new players could become disinterested or overwhelmed by the game, simply by talking to him.

    The amount of effort it would take to move him from Burthorpe to, say, the Dig Site, is exceptionally minimal in comparation to the potential damage his existence could do to the number of new players we get from Steam. Call me paranoid, but I truly do think that this is a serious, yet extremely solvable issue, regarding the release of RuneScape on the platform.

    TL;DR: The Curator, located in Burthorpe, may confuse many new players coming from Steam. Moving him to the Dig Site would take little effort, with a massive potential benefit.

    EDIT: It has come to my attention that The Curator does not talk to F2P players. Although this is good, my point still stands in terms of both the Yak Track being located in Burthorpe, as well as the viewpoint of a player returning to the game after a long time. In these cases, the simple location of this event does not lend itself to the new player experience whatsoever. In the future, I would love to see the event located in a more appropriate location, further away from the game's starting zone.

    Quick/Simple Question: Any reason to prefer playing on Steam?

    Posted: 13 Oct 2020 10:54 AM PDT

    Hi All,

    I have been playing (on and off) for years. I have also had Steam for years.

    Is there any reason/benefit to playing through Steam as opposed to just opening the client/app like normal?

    Or is the whole Steam thing just to get new players onboard?

    Sinkhole Question - Potential Bug or Programming Miss?

    Posted: 13 Oct 2020 08:00 AM PDT

    Today I placed first in a sinkhole. Here's what happened:

    -The second place person played beguiling smoke devil which caused me to lose my huge lamp.

    -I then played whimsical bunyip because I didn't really have any other good options and I wanted to see what would happen.

    -The bunyip pulled a reversing Phoenix card, so I thought it would reverse the effect of the beguiling smoke devil, but it did nothing.

    Should it not undo what the last player did? Based on the description it sounds like it reverts back to the conditions "before the last card was played" so maybe it considered my bunyip the last card played and therefore changed nothing.

    If that is indeed the case, is that a bug or a miss in the programming or is it intentional? Shouldn't it just reverse what the last player did so that it doesn't make the reversing Phoenix useless when a bunyip is played?

    Thoughts?

    Will Orthen Digsite include an "Item Sink" for Dinosaur Scales?

    Posted: 13 Oct 2020 11:48 AM PDT

    Considering how dirt cheap they're at the moment, it would be nice to know right about now, to prevent they spike in price like Sandstone did when the Blessed Flask got released.

    Same for dinosaur hide armour, i have a feeling it will be used for a mystery and people will pay crazy money like they did with Shiny Cows.

    Awhile ago I posted about my clan leader passing away in real life, this is a video showcasing a hauntingly beautiful side of Gielinor I'm sure we can all appreciate, and I'm sure she would have liked it as well.
