RuneScape Community Forums (since 2001)

This week's game update sees the release of multiple changes and fixes following feedback from the release of the Kebos Lowlands. In the meantime, we are still collecting feedback from the recent poll blog and will use it to write a revised version expected to be live on Friday before polling the suggestions in game, this blog will include proposed changes to Konar's loot table.


Graphical Changes


Brimstone Boots


The Brimstone Boots have been updated to look more like boots!

Ferocious Gloves


The Ferocious Gloves now cover the players' hands and the inventory model has been updated to show this.

Seed Boxes


The graphic for seed boxes given with contracts in the Farming Guild has been updated.


Farming Guild Doors
In response to players reporting a bottleneck occuring at the doors within the Farming guild, they now use a barrier system. Before you pass through, Guildmaster Jane will check you meet the Farming level requirements for that part of the Guild and admit or refuse you entry.



Fishing and the Golden Tench


Golden Tench Nerf


The negative stats that all fun weapons usually have were added to the Golden tench to ensure safe slapping all around.
Animation Snapping


While 3 tick fishing, players previously used a snapping animation to assist with their timing which was removed with the release of equippable fishing rods. This has been re-implemented.



High Alch Values

High alch value shouldn't dictate the value of an item unless it is specifically used as a 'high alch' drop (rune platebodies, platelegs etc...) on a drop table. Avoiding this prevents excess gold coming into the game.

For new items, we'd prefer to focus our efforts on improving them to be worth a value above their alch value. This is why we are exploring options with the Hydra tail. The other items we believe already offer more value than the alch values below. As a result, the following items have had their High Alchemy values reduced:

Broken dragon hasta to 37,440
Dragon hasta 37,440
Dragon hunter lance to 180k
Drake claw to 60k
Hydra claw to 90k
Hydra heart to 60k
Hydra eye to 60k
Hydra fang to 60k
Hydra leather to 60k
Ferocious gloves to 60k
