Hello everyone!

Halloween has arrived! The home area has received an overhaul and has a more spooky, halloween-fitting look. In addition to this, a halloween event will be running for three weeks starting today.

To start the event, simply talk to the Grim Reaper who can be found just south of home (by the thieving area, see image below). The objective is to collect 50 pumpkins and bring them back to him. The pumpkins are found in chests which are moved around the world every 15 minutes. You can loot a maximum of 5 pumpkins per person & chest spawn, and a maximum of 20 people can loot the chest before it moves. To find the chest, you will be given a locator orb by the Grim Reaper. Use it to determine the current location of the chest before it moves (see image below). Note that some chest spawns can be in the wilderness. The chests are guarded by four ghosts. These are aggressive, however they’re quite weak and should be no problem fending off.

The reward for completing the minigame is a Ghost pet, which will be discontinued after the event concludes. Everyone who completes the event also have a 10% chance at receiving a free Halloween mystery box. The boxes also contain limited edition halloween items. These boxes may also be purchased from the store, starting tomorrow, for the duration of this event.They may also be received as a drop from invading zombies. Every 60 minutes, 10 zombies will invade the home area. These can be killed by players who have completed the halloween event for a chance at receiving a halloween mystery box. To see the rewards from the box, see the images below.

Lastly, also starting tomorrow, a discount code will be available in the store: ‘HALLOWEEN25‘. It will let you take 25% off on all your purchases!

Two new pets with effects are introduced to the game with this box; ‘Death jr‘ & ‘Vampyre jr‘. The Death jr has a 7,5% drop rate boost, just like Party pete jr, and changes the color of its mask on every spawn. The Vampyre jr has a 5% chance to heal you for 25% of the damage you deal in PvM combat (all styles).

Misc. Fixes & Changes

• Sirenic armour now have ranged strength boosts (+4 for mask, +5 for body/chaps).
• Overall fixes to ranged strength calculations in PvM applied.
• The bar saving effect from the max skill cape will now work for smelting cannonballs.
• Fixed trading honourable blessing crashing the trade.
• Hunter objects should now properly clear out/reset when leaving/entering the area.
• Morrigan’s armour now have a shredding value.
• Messages from loading a dwarf multicannon are now filtered by the skill filter.
• The konar pet now gives a slightly increased chance at receiving Brimstone keys (~20%).

I hope you will enjoy!

Hello everyone!

Finally, a long awaited update – Theatre of Blood is here! Fight six different bosses for a chance at looting some of the best items in the game! In addition to regular OSRS rewards, two custom rewards are available – Verzik’s Enchantment & Justiciar kiteshield. You can see the rewards in your collection log. Below follows some useful information regarding the raid:

• To enter, you just need to enter the door and wait for the raid to start. A maximum amount of five people can join at once, or 20 if a ToB event is active. You don’t need to be in a specific clan chat; just join and wait for others to join up.
• The raid consists of six bosses: Maiden of Sugadinti, Pestilent Bloat, Vasilias Nylocas, Sotetseg, Xarpus & Verzik Vitur. They all have similar combat strategies to OSRS, but most of them are dumbed down to make it a bit easier.
• The scaling of the raid is hard in terms of HP levels at the beginning; I encourage you to go with a group to begin with. In the future we will be adjusting the scaling. We have done this to ensure we don’t make the raids too easy to begin with since the rewards are very powerful!
• Points are given based on the damage you deal. Every 10 damage (5 damage if using bonus raid scroll) you deal, you receive one point. These points are used to calculate your drop chance at the end of the raid. Note that the points in the picture below is from test mode with lowered NPC HP.
• After the Pestilent Bloat room & Xarpus room, you may purchase supplies at the expense of points. Note that doing so will result in lesser drop chance.
• Theatre of Blood is NOT a safe death for hardcore ironman, unlike Chambers of Xeric.
• If everyone in the team dies, the raid is ended. If you die, however, you will be put outside the room of the boss you died at and have to depends on your team to finish that boss.

Misc. Fixes & Changes

• Fixed issues with auto retalite not switching on properly (only visually) with warhammers.
• Fixed CoX not giving 15 perk points per run as it’s supposed to.
• Fixed delays when attacking a NPC with too little special attack.
• Tweaked delays when performing initial hit on NPC’s sometimes being 1 tick too fast between first and second hit.
• Pet K’klik is now no longer noteable.
• Pet K’klik should now pick up stackable items that you already have in your inventory even if your inventory is full.
• The pricechecker will now properly reset when being in combat.
• Creating anti-venoms now require Anti-dote++(4) instead of Anti-dote++(3).
• Fixed item definitions of pet derwen.
• Lowered holy elixirs shop/protection value.
• Doing superior key upgrades no longer require noted crystal keys, as they are stackable.
• Hard clues in PvM caskets no longer called (lvl 4), but instead (hard).
• All of the ring upgrades now announce when failed.
• Players can now unnote Wyrm bones at the chaos altar NPC.
• Tweaked Olm’s centre radius for head running in larger groups.
• Players can now operate & check expeditious/slaughter bracelets to see their charges.
• Players should now properly stop woodcutting when a stump spawns by another player.
• Increased protection value of trident of the swamp.
• Stringing bows is now 2 ticks rather than 3.
• Removed duplicate banking messages for auto pickups.
• Added the damage % boost to demonic tridents hover.
• Killing blue wraith now counts towards the Wyrm killer achievement.
• Looked into missing NPC’s (red chins, kourend diary npc).
• Fixed npc aggression cancelling entering bank pin upon login.
• Fixed hydra poison projectiles sometimes being off.
• Cerberus’s ground attack (lava pools) now deals 10 damage if you stand on it as it spawns.
• Extended death timer for item despawns in Catacombs.
• Updated Nechryael to Greater Nechryael in the instance spawner.
• Players may now buy back free items from the weird old man without having coins in inventory.
• Superior slayer NPC’s now receive damage boost benefits from slayer helmets.

I hope you will enjoy,

Hello everyone,

We’re still a little bit out from releasing the updated RuneLite version of the client with HD, GPU Plugin, Stretched mode and more. It will be a huge lift for your experience and playing with GPU rendering will reduce your client lag significantly to make Rigour even more enjoyable. Below follows some sneak-peeks (full-screen, 150+ fps):

117HD

GPU Plugin

In the meantime, though, a few updates and fixes have been applied. The list of updates may be found below.

• Group Ironman system has been re-made and groups will need to be formed again. There was just too many issues with it and too poorly written code that we had to re-do it. You can open a ticket to receive your storage items back into the new system.
• The new system also supports logs to see which player has taken/moved which item.
• The system also has a group messaging system. You can send messages to your group specifically by, rather than the clan chats “/”, typing “//”.
• Maximum group size is, as requested, increased to five.
• The leaderboards will be out when we release the Duo Ironman gamemode & the competition associated with it, which will be by the end of September.

The Great Olm

• Improved Olm’s special attack timers (he will no longer be able to execute b2b specials).
• Sphere’s now cut your prayer points in half when praying against them.
• Fixed Olm’s Sphere attacks hitting you outside of CoX.
• Improved the way Olm’s head turns to dodge attacks. It should now be a more accurate representation of the OSRS version of the boss.
• Fixed the perk drop rate boost in CoX not showing up in the percentage chance message after a finished raid (the loot chance was indeed being applied).
• Slightly increased chance of receiving rare loot.
• Possible fix for elevated teleport portals in CoX instances.

Wilderness Updates

• The wilderness has received some love with a new teleport added to the resource area but also, Bounty Hunter.
• The bounty hunter system has been activated and players will now receive targets. Killing a target gives you an increased chance at emblem drops which may be exchanged at the emblem trader in Edgeville. You may also unlock the teleport to target spell to make hunting your targets even easier (and more fun).
• Killing a target when already holding an emblem will automatically upgrade it to the next tier.
• Going on hunter killstreaks (target kills) will reward you with extra pk points in addition to regular killstreaks. When going on a 10 hunter killstreak, you will also receive a tier 5 emblem.
• You can toggle the bounty hunter interface off if you do not wish to see it when you’re in the wilderness by typing ::bh. Note that you will still be assigned targets, however.

Hitmarks

• Added unique hitmark identifier for max hits (like OSRS).
• Added a unique hitmark for boosted max hits (e.g. hits that go above max hit, like dragon hunter lance and other special weapons).

Instances

• Single player instances, such as the Inferno, Skotizo, Zulrah & Vorkath, have been re-worked and should now be a lot less laggy and no longer glitch out, not giving you proper rewards.
• Improved the timers in inferno to more accurately match those on OSRS.

Misc. Fixes & Changes

• Implemented the Arclight special attack. Fixed the hover message saying 75% damage/100% accuracy boost (in reality it’s 70%/70% like OSRS).
• Fixed the issue with switching from an autocast weapon, making you continue autocasting.
• Graceful clothing now boosts agility XP by 2% XP per piece worn.
• Pet K’klik will now skip bones if you have a bone crusher to ensure the bonecrusher gets used.
• Removed random herb spawns from varrock.
• The drop modifier in revenants cave while being skulled now shows up in the equipment interface.
• Zulrah will now deal two melee attacks maximum per phase.
• Fixed the allowed looting bag withdrawing area.

• Revenant cave pillars should now be jumpable.
• Improved on pets player following.
• Removed the extra wine of zamorak from secondaries shop.
• You can now make herblore potions by using secondaries/vials of water first instead of the other way around.
• Killcount messages are now counted as skilling message and can be toggled off with skill filters (right click “Game” chat tab -> Toggle skill messages).
• Added redwood trees to the skill interfaces.
• When a tree despawns from one players chops, other players will no longer continue chopping it.
• The void slayer helmet now counts as a slayer helmet (i) on its own (without void).
• Solved collection log claiming stackable items.
• Increased the speed for fishing slightly.
• Updated a bunch of item shredding values.
• Fixed auto retaliate interrupting pvm casket openings.
• Improvements to NPC path checking.
• Improvements to door handling.

Enjoy 🙂
