Mobile Lobby Updates & Raptor's Rampage Continues - This Week In RuneScape
The social lobby for mobile arrives today, and we've got new cosmetic overrides up for grabs at the Academy of Heroes!
Mobile players have been requesting a social lobby for a long time, and today we're happy to announce – you’ve got it!
Your social lobby lets you access your friends, clan chat and more, just like you can on desktop.
Check it out today on all of RuneScape's mobile platforms!
Don’t forget to check out Raptor's Rampage, which continues until the 22nd of January! Head down to War's Retreat and grab your daily buff. Once activated the next boss kill will get three rolls on the rare drop table.
While a few things are exempt from this buff (Telos and Arch Glacor due to their streak mechanics, and any bosses without a rare loot table), it does affect raids and will be consumed on use there.
Academy of Heroes: Treasure Hunter is back with brand new cosmetic overrides! Use keys to deal damage to enemies and snatch rewards - plus bonus loot for defeating them! Each key you use will give you the chance to nab one of the new Cosmetic Override Scrolls. Plus, if you lucky (unlucky?) enough to come across the Echo of Zamorak, you'll get a guaranteed drop of all three new cosmetic overrides when defeated.
Since we were already working on these new cosmetic overrides, we took the opportunity to update the standard Berserk animation, giving it even more pizzazz - it launches today, free for all players! Check it out:
Now, onto the new overrides! There are three to be found within the Academy of Heroes.
First up is a Chaotic version of the newly updated Berserk animation: Next, amp up your Hurricanes with the new Chaotic Hurricane override: Or channel some blue dwarf vibes with the Azure Sunshine override! Academy of Heroes launches January 19th and runs until January 25th.
We're conducting some planned maintenance to local game world servers on January 17th.
The following worlds will be offline from 11:00 Game Time, with work planned for approximately 5 hours.
No other worlds will be offline, and no other disruptions are expected.
Quick reminder for members! Every day you log in, or hour you play, will earn you a Pirate Key for Frank's Free Chest – with a max of 12 up for grabs each week.
Head to Port Sarim to meet with Frank, spend your keys and score a random selection of loot. If you're very lucky that could mean Uncharted Island Maps or 100 Million GP!
Earn keys until January 31st and claim your loot from February 1st.

General
Nex: Angel of Death Chest drop rate has been improved. Chests will now drop in order, with any 'gaps' unlocked before being randomised there after.
Bow of the Last Guardian's auto attack damage is now correctly calculated.
Dev Comment : All weapons of the same level should have equal damage values, meaning that DPM is the same regardless of style. The Bow of the Last Guardian was set up incorrectly so the bow itself was doing all of the damage of a level 95 weapon, and then the damage from the arrows was being added on top for even more! This bug was limited to auto-attacks, so for those of you who have been using abilities you should notice minimal difference overall. - Mod Daze
Being teleported by Legio Quartus no longer results in being unable to move for a few seconds.
Globetrotter Jacket now takes players to the correct location when using the compass clue leading to the eastern part of Mort Myre swamp.

Once a walk animation is applied the yellow button is labelled 'Deactivate'.

Fixed an issue that prevented players from receiving XP when completing the Buyers and Cellars quest.
Fletching animation is no longer used for hair cutting activity while a tool override is active.
Gate added in the Graveyard of Shadows.
Leaving the life alter no longer clears stat effects.
Aurora variants of Power armours can now be upgraded.
Players can enter the Cooking Guild with any of the following capes: Trimmed Inverted Cooking Cape, Inverted Cooking Cape, Inverted Master Cooking Cape, Cooking Cape.
Head Chef now recognizes the Inverted Cooking Cape and the player no longer receives the response: 'You can't come in here unless you're wearing a chef's hat, or something like that."
You are no longer prevented from burning logs on a portable brazier, as long as you have the required Firemaking level.
You can no longer open Treasure Hunter chests while the promotion information screen is displayed.
Portable skilling locations can no longer be placed on top of Crux Eqal Knights.
Players won't receive 'Nothing' as a slayer task anymore.
You can no longer teleport out of cutscenes in Daughter of Chaos or Civil War III during a fade to black section.
You can now feed Aurora dyed items to the baby troll.
Your character no longer attempts to jump twice while trying to pass a leaf trap in Tirannwn.
Players won't get teleported now when entering the Barbarian Assault building with a quiver.
The Portable Snowfall override no longer appears as an object in Diango's retrieval interface.
Ram Skulls now drop properly from rams during the Rag and Bone Man quest.
The Sasha pet can now be dismissed through the Pet interface.
The butler will no longer appear inside the throne in a Player Owned House after taking things to the Bank or sawmill.
The untradable Halo of Returning can now be keepsaked.
Flame Gloves can now be stored in your Keepsake inventory, with a copy being placed into your regular inventory. Upon removing the item from keepsake, the copy gets destroyed.
All 'of speak' Amulets can now be stored in your Keepsake inventory. Again, a copy will be created that gets destroyed when the original item is taken out of your Keepsake storage.

Updated text when re-entering a dungeon as a group after leaving.

Reduced Death Costs & Raptor's Rampage Event! - This Week In RuneScape
It’s 2023 and we’re kicking the year off in style – we’re finally reducing death costs, giving you even more freedom to experiment and push yourself further than ever before! Plus, there’s a new special event to help you score some rare boss drops. Happy new year indeed…
Move over January sales, because the only reductions we care about right now are on permanent death costs!
Yes, the long-awaited death cost changes are finally here, making the final frontier less punishing to your wallet for the year ahead. If costs have prevented you from experimenting with bossing in the past, there's no better time to try something new for 2023!
With today's update, death will cost at least 80% less compared to before. The Ring of Death also gets an update to keep it viable: die and you'll be reborn in place on the battlefield, but with a three-minute debuff that deals incrementally increasing tick damage. Finish that boss kill quickly or get to safety before it overwhelms you!
Today also marks the arrival of Grand Exchange Tariffs. With over 60% of gold drain coming through deaths, we needed to balance the economy to support the new death costs. Now, 2% of gold from all sales on the GE will be taken by the tariff to cover the gap.
Oh, and there’s more. While it won’t launch with today's update, we’ll soon be introducing an engine update that will enable sales over the current Max Cash limits! Stay tuned for more news on that in the near future.
If you'd like to go into lots of juicy number-crunching detail on the death cost reduction and GE Tariff specifics, check out the recent lovely maths-y post: Here
Now cheaper death costs have kicked away your January blues, why not sink your teeth into our brand new special event?
Raptor has arrived at War's Retreat to offer a handy buff that can be activated once a day!
Once it’s up and running, your next boss kill will get three rolls on the bosses rare drop table – that means more chances to grab those elusive boss drops!
A few exceptions:
Telos and Arch-Glacor will not be subject to this benefit due to their Streak mechanics.
Raids receive a flat percentage increase for loot and do not consume the buff.
Bosses without rare loot will not be affected or consume the buff.
The Raptor’s Rampage is on until January 22nd!
Don’t forget, an extra members-only event is already underway: have you visited Frank's Free Chest yet?
Every day you log in, or hour you play, will earn you a Pirate Key – with a max of 12 up for grabs each week.
Head to Frank, who has set up shop at Port Sarim, to spend your keys and score a random selection of loot. Who knows, it might even include Uncharted Island Maps or 100 Million GP!
Frank's Free Chest runs until January 31st.
General
You must now complete the Succession quest to use Dive in theoretically any circumstances. Ability no longer can be used despite not being unlocked when placed on action bar
Worst Witch Grimoire Achievement blocker has been corrected and should correctly display progress
Applied a long-term solution to being unable to bank bankable items from the 'Choose your prize' interface while a bonus reward is present alongside Wrapping Paper in Treasure Hunter

Presents From The Sledge - This Week In RuneScape
We’ve made it ‘Scapers – it’s the final update for 2022! Read on for all the info about our Christmas events, plus a cheeky sneaky-peeky at what’s coming next year. Have a fantastic festive break and we’ll see you again on January 9th!
Postie Pete and Parcel Pete have once again made an absolute turkey of the most important task of the year – wrapping the presents! Will you be the one to save Christmas?
Play to earn Wrapping Paper and unlock festive rewards, including the stunning new Aurora Dye! You also get a free present each day simply by chatting to the hosts. ‘Tis the season, after all...
This might be our last update of the year, but there's so much to do for the rest of the month – the Legacy of Zamorak finale quest, the Winter Yak Track and more! Get the full story on Presents From The Sledge and see everything else that’s going on in our special December-tastic newspost: Here!
Santa's Grotto returns from December 23rd to January 4th, and it's full of festive prizes!
Dive in and collect all manner of Christmas cosmetics, including tradeable rare Green Santa Outfit pieces for that chic, seasonal look. These items look especially great paired with the Green Santa Hat, if you were able to nab that already! (While pictured together, please be aware the Green Santa Hat is NOT in the Grotto this year).
You can also collect three gaudy-but-desirable Christmas jumper designs featuring Guthix, Penguins and Chinchompas! They’re worse than anything grandma could knit, and they’re an absolute must-have for the season.
And don't forget, you receive extra Wrapping Paper for Presents From The Sledge with every Key used, so be sure that you make a visit Santa’s Grotto this Christmas!
A small members-only event will kick things off next year, ahead of our first full update on January 9th. Look out for Frank’s Free Chest from January 4th!
This piratey version of Frank has set up shop in Port Sarim and he’s got the booty! No… the other kind of booty (though to be fair, maybe both).
Head to the stall from January 4th to earn Pirate Keys: you get one every day on login, and then another one per hour of play, with a maximum of 12 to be earned each week in total.
Spend your Pirate Keys at the Chest to earn luscious loot such as Uncharted Island Maps (including the Red one!), 100 million GP, Dragon Tools and more. Ironman players can get their mitts on all prizes except for the Dragon Tools and GP.
While any Pirate Keys will go to your Inventory on login, you can also store them in your Currency Pouch – any Keys earned through playtime will go straight there. This means you won’t have to inventory-manage in the middle of a boss battle or other such shenanigans!
Aside from being a small added thanks to all you 'Scapers for you dedication, this event is also a test for us to see how we can reward your time more flexibly. We'll be keen to hear your thoughts as we go!
Start earning Pirate Keys and laying claim to Frank's Free Chest in Port Sarim, right in front of the Rusty Anchor Pub, beginning January 4th until January 31st 2023. You'll be able to use your Keys up any time before February 28th 2023.
For the past few days you've been busy deciphering clues and getting a glimpse of what's to come in RuneScape next year. Exciting!
So far you've uncovered the details of January's Death Costs update (and hints of a new event at War's Retreat), the first scraps of an upcoming storyline and some intriguing new Construction skilling methods. Check out everything that's already been revealed here: https://RS.Game/2023SneakPeek.
We’ve got one more secret left. Are you ready? It's a juicy one. Tune in to our livestream on December 13th at 16:00 for the big reveal. You won't want to miss this!
To sign out the year, we'll also have a letter from RuneScape's Executive Producer. Look out for that on December 19th…
Fresh Start Worlds will be available throughout the holiday season and plenty of rewards are still up for grabs, including the Alternative Skill Capes, Halo of Returning and more!
Over the coming weeks, the XP boosts will continue to decrease as FSW comes closer and closer to operating like the main game. You'll still have Free Deaths, 20% chances to double a monster or boss drop, 40% chance to double gathered Materials, +100% Accuracy in combat and access to all Tier 5 Auras.
Fresh Start Worlds will fully come to a close on January 9th, at which point all characters will be automatically transferred (with any eligible items) over to the main game. You can also leave earlier at any time too, of course!
We've loved all the stories, videos and images that have come from FSW over the past three months. Whether you played it yourself, convinced a friend to try or return to RuneScape, or simply continued on in the main game – thank you – and remember to always keep it Fresh!
General
<*>The login screen music has been updated to A Song of Hope.<*>To fit within the free-to-play skill cap, and to make it more accessible in general, the requirement for Dive, Escape and Surge has been lowered from 30 Agility to 5 Agility.<*>You must now complete Succession quest to use Dive in any circumstances.<*>Completing the Succession musical finale, including replay, now applies the Dungeoneering Strange Power animation to the player, with a forced camera angle.<*>The Daemonheim enemies in the Mage Arena combat challenge of the Succession quest now have significantly more lifepoints.<*>Revolution now supports untargeted Agility abilities, so Escape and Surge can once again be put on a Revolution bar, if that's how you roll!<*>Added blocking to a segment of the fence surrounding the KBD enclosure near the Wilderness Lava Maze. (In the Wildy, the best defence is a good of-fence).<*>Smithing Argonlike armour during the Succession quest now gives token Smithing XP.<*>Only the anvil near the Mage Arena can be used to smith Argonlike equipment.<*>The Escape ability is no longer hidden in the Ranged ability book when the Magic spellbook is filtered.<*>Removed additional bodies of dead Cultists in the Senntisten prison scene of Succession. Always dispose of the evidence…<*>Corrected the progress boost message in Yak Track: The Winter Trials to now state the correct tier at which it was unlocked.<*>Added bounds checking to the Quest List to prevent an issue where its contents were squished by an invalid sorting.<*>Fixed an issue which caused the Festive Aura XP cap message to be displayed after every login.<*>Fixed the washed-out appearance of some outfits while in Prifddinas.<*>Hotfix: Lowered the up time of the 'feeling pumped' modifier in Shattered Worlds.
Dev Note: This temporary change was made due to increasingly excessive XP rates players had been receiving in conjunction with recent changes to special attacks. The change is considered temporary, whilst the team is investigating more in depth resolutions to the XP issues.

'Succession' Quest & Winter Trials Yak Track! - This Week In RuneScape
It’s like Christmas come early: the final quest of the year lands today, and the new winter Yak Track is here too! Here’s everything you need to know.
This is it – the final quest of 2022. It’s time for Succession!
This adventure closes out the Legacy of Zamorak storyline. Team up with Adrasteia and help her track down Bilrach before he completes his ritual and becomes unstoppable!
Conquer this quest and you'll get access to the mobility heaven that is the Dive ability – an alternative version of Bladed Dive that can be used by all combat styles in any situation where you can't currently use that classic move.
You’ll also earn a host of XP rewards and the final Infernal Puzzle Box upgrade!
To begin your quest, speak with Adrasteia in Falador.
Our latest Yak Track lands today, packed with new winter-themed cosmetics and bonuses! Either optimise your play through task chasing, or simply reap rewards for your usual activities with ‘skill and chill’ tasks at every level!
Get your mitts on some ice-cool rewards including combat overrides, frosty pets, Fremennik and Mahjarrat-themed cosmetics and more.
This time we’re also introducing a brand-new currency – just the thing to spend in the equally shiny new Yak Track Shop!
Earn Yak Coins every five tasks and from repeatable end tasks. Then head to the new shop and browse every cosmetic item from Yak Track 2 to Yak Track 10! This new store is your one-stop shop for all things Yak, so all existing Yak Track items in the Oddments Store will be moving here too.
Got all the retro swag you needed the first time? There are alternative versions of some of the new cosmetics and XP boosts that you can pick up there too.
Remember, Coins expire one week after the Track finishes, so make sure you use them up!
Yak Track: The Winter Trials runs from today until Jan 29th.
We're conducting some planned maintenance to local game world servers in Las Vegas and Sydney on December 6th.
Worlds based in Las Vegas and Sydney will be offline from 11:00 Game Time, with work planned for approximately 5 hours.
No other worlds will be offline, and no other disruptions are expected.
Have you been opening your doors yet? Remember that you get a free Key each time, so it’s well worth keeping your daily appointment. And on top of that, opening 15 doors this month will get you the Portable Snowfall Aura override!
20 more days to go…
Here's this week's XP rates and bonuses:
Changed from last week: +100% XP (skills below level 70).
Changed from last week: +50% XP (skills above level 70).
Continuation of Free Deaths.
20% chance to double a monster or boss drop.
40% chance to double gathered materials.
Tier 5 Auras unlocked.
+100% Accuracy in combat.
General
Players will receive a one-off Daily Challenge Reward Box the first time they log in.More details here.
Plant Power configuration now works with the Trollheim herb patch.
Damage and accuracy tooltips on objects now use numerical separators.
The Healer role at Barbarian Assault will once again be rewarded the correct type of points.
Fixed an issue that prevented completion of the ‘Staff on Stryke’ achievement.
The Tome of XP awarded for completing the Branches of Darkmeyer quest no longer halves the amount of Invention XP received.
Players will now approach the cliff side on the Wilderness Agility Course in a sensible manner.
Fixed an issue that allowed player to bypass building a whirligig flower basket.
Removed force-walk tiles next to the Grand Exchange.
Fixed an issue which caused the Spirit Tree’s Grand Exchange teleport to place the player inside Christmas presents. You’re a gift, but not like that…
The clipping and animation issues for Crux Eqal robes have been fixed.
Updated login and lobby to support the Jagex Launcher.
Moved a couple of gargoyles near the furnace in the ruins east of the Wilderness crater who had a tendency to disrupt smelting.
Kolodion, master of the Mage Arena, now has a spine capable of bending.
The Persistent Rage relic now generates adrenaline when outside of combat, as the infernal puzzle box prevents adrenaline drain when outside of combat.
When your adrenaline is full, an activated adrenaline urn now stores adrenaline generated by the Persistent Rage relic.
The Escape and Surge abilities now require 30 Agility instead of 30 Ranged and Magic respectively, so that movement abilities do not require combat skills.
Graphical Updates
Winter is coming and Mod Blkwitch has been up to snow good in the frozen north of the deep wilderness. She's also updated the Mage Arena inside and out.
Mahjarrat ritual markers have been graphically updated.
The soul altar and Magister's boss arena maps have had a lighting improvement pass.
Achievements
Added an I've Got a Little List (of Miniquests) meta achievement in the Lore category, which requires all miniquests in the Quest List.
Completionist cape and master quest cape now require this miniquest achievement, instead of each listing individual miniquest achievements. This is to ensure comp and MQC consistently require all quests and miniquests.
Consequently removed these miniquests from the trimmed completionist cape, since it requires the completionist cape which requires this miniquest meta achievement which requires these miniquests: Desert Slayer Dungeon, Sheep Shearer, Tales of Nomad, Tales of the God Wars, Witch's Potion.
As there's already a meta achievement for Fremennik Sagas (Bridge over Fremmy Waters), also moved it into the Lore category.
The Chef's Assistant quest is now listed alphabetically in the Quest Cape requirements. Also removed "A", "The" prefixes from various miniquest achievement names so that they're unambiguously alphabetised.
Renamed the miniquest achievement Benedict's World Tour, Part 2 to Benedict's World Tour (miniquest) to match all the other miniquests listed in I've Got a Little List (of Miniquests).
The Twilight of the Gods achievement now uses the Twilight of the Gods quest icon, rather than the City of Senntisten quest icon.
Quest Season
Created a Legacy of Zamorak season in the Quest Series sort.
Since they require Extinction, added Twilight of the Gods and the Aftermath miniquest to the end of the Elder God Wars quest series.
Quest List
We've removed the Difficulty field from the quest overview screen and quest sort. Quest lists sorted by difficulty on login should change to the Timeline sort.
Dev note : When developing quests, we place them in a difficulty bracket solely due to their skill requirements (eg our definition of a Grandmaster is that it has 80+ skill requirements). But difficulty is subjective; each player has a unique definition of what makes a quest Grandmaster, Intermediate, etc (length, combat difficulty, required quests, story relevance, position in a questline or season, rewards, etc). We've since added various methods to sort your quest list, including Timeline (which incorporates these difficulty brackets), Length, Combat Difficulty, etc, allowing you to make an informed decision of what matters most to you in deciding a quest's relative difficulty.
Added a Wilderness category to the Starting Area quest sort, and moved these (mini)quests to it:
Enter the Abyss
Spirit of Summer
Summer's End
Civil War II
Civil War III
Removed a double space from quest reward text of choose-a-skill XP lamps that display the lamp's XP in parentheses.
Engine Patch Notes
Optimised performance on Intel HD 2000/3000 series and ATI 4000 series
Fixed app restarting when logging in or minimising the app on Android 12
Fix for various AMD issues:
Volumetric lighting now works on AMD GPUs with MSAA, which was broken in driver version 22.7.1
Client no longer crashes on shutdown on AMD GPUs, which started to occur on driver version 22.7.1
Known AMD issues:
Anisotropic filtering still causes visual artefacts. Players can fix this by turning it off in graphics options and turning it on via the AMD driver software
Various refraction effects are broken when using uncompressed textures with the latest AMD drivers. Switching back to compressed textures will fix the issue
Known Issue:
‘Play’ button text is truncated partially on some Android and iOS devices, this will be resolved with Mondays content update. Monday’s update will also add player display name text to the Play button.
Various fixes to support Android SDK update
Fixed an issue with shadows being incorrect for some models
Fixed some terrains not casting shadows
Improved point light shadows on high and ultra quality
Corrected lighting in several area

QoL Mini Strike & Advent Calendar - This Week In RuneScape
The Ninjas have been adding a little polish to the game ready for the end of the year! Read on for news of the Mini Strike, plus the return of the Advent Calendar, last international shipping dates for Christmas merch and more!
The Ninjas have squeezed in some late-in-the-year Qualify of Life improvements in a stocking filler-sized Mini Strike!
Some of the work has focused on gameplay balancing: they’ve taken adrenaline from Super Guthix restores, tweaked Dragon weapon special attacks, and you can no longer gain effects from the Scripture of Bik without using charge.
There’s a whole host of other tweaks too, from Strykeworms now being available to fight off-task, to God Books having up to 24 hours of charge and updated tooltips.
Visit the Patch Notes further down for the full slate of improvements!
The countdown begins! We’re fast approaching the most magical day of the year, and that of course means the return of the RuneScape Advent Calendar.
Get one free gift, plus an extra Key each day you log in through December. Open your rewards for 15 days and you’ll get the new Portable Snowfall Aura cosmetic override!
Since we’re counting down, you’ll notice that Christmas decorations are up across Gielinor from today, and there’s plenty more to come shortly. Look out tomorrow for news on December’s content drop and more special events to come!

Treat yourself to one of these popular lines – or make sure your nearest and dearest know what you want from Santa this year:
QoL Mini Strike
Dragon weapons' special attacks have been rebalanced (see below for more).
God Books can now be charged up to 24 hours.
God Book tooltips have been updated to better emphasise their effects.
You can no longer gain effects from the Scripture of Bik without using charge.
Desert, Ice and Jungle Strykewyrms no longer require a Slayer task to attack.
Elves and Nihils will now consistently spawn as the captured variant when newly placed in the Player-Owned Slayer Dungeon. NPCs placed before now will continue to spawn a random variant.
Super Guthix Restores no longer give adrenaline.
Runecrafting Talismans have been updated to better reflect their usage.
Crystal tools’ tooltips now accurately reflect their effects.
Special Attack Adjustments
Mod Sponge says: 'This is my Game Jam work from back in March, so it'll be great to finally have it in the game and to see what players make of it. Since special attacks were reintroduced to RuneScape, a lot of them have fallen into the category of 'useless', but being such iconic attacks I wanted to give them the love they deserved. By reducing the clunkiness of weapons like the Dragon Claws and addressing their adrenaline efficiency so they match more modern standards, hopefully we'll see more players picking them up (or throwing them in their Amulets)!
With the time limitations of the Game Jam I was only able to rework the Dragon weapons after rewriting the tooltips, but if it’s something players like, I’d be up for doing a second batch!’
Dragon Dagger
Now deals 85-165% ability damage each hit.
Is no longer a channelled ability.
Dragon Halberd
Now deals 50-190% ability damage each hit.
Is no longer a channelled ability.

Now deals 150-310% ability damage.
Adrenaline cost has been reduced to 20.
Removed the damage roll offset (was previously less likely to roll low than high).
Dragon 2-Handed Sword
Now deals 230-350% ability damage.
Adrenaline cost has been reduced to 50.
Increased the range of the special attack from 3x3 → 5x5.
Dragon Claws
Now deals a total of 184-600% ability damage (across 4 hits).
Removed the stall from the ability animation.
Is no longer a channelled ability.
Dragon Longsword
Now deals 90-410% ability damage.
The attack now features a raised hit-cap.
Dragon Axe
Moved the effect to apply on-hit rather than on-cast.
Adrenaline cost has been reduced to 30.
Dragon Scimitar

Max FSW XP & DXP LIVE Continues! - This Week In RuneScape
It's DXP, FSW and TTT this week – Acronyms FTW! (Well, technically they're initialisms). Uhh anyway… on with the newspost…
We hope you’ve been making the most of Double XP LIVE! Don’t worry if you’ve not started yet, because it’s still active until Monday, November 21st at 12:00 PM Game Time.
You’ve got 48 hours of Double XP which you can use to train any skill, and pause whenever you like. You can also trade an hour of that Double XP per day for credits to use with Nic The Trader!
As a reminder, this event is for the main game only and NOT Fresh Start Worlds, though if you're playing there, this week has a beast of an XP bonus – more on that further down.
Treasure Hunter's Double XP companion event returns, and with some very exciting new features!
Firstly, we’re releasing two new training dummies for Dungeoneering and Archaeology. We've also introduced a new progress mechanic which guarantees dummies every 10 Keys!
Next up, Proteans: following their introduction earlier this year, the new Herblore, Runecrafting and Cooking Proteans can now be selected in Protean Packs, found in the promotion and even converted from other Proteans! You can do this from today's update - so before Time To Train starts tomorrow.
Time to Train will be available from Tuesday, November 17th.
Premier Membership is the very best way to enjoy RuneScape! You'll be able to experience everything Gielinor has to offer – now and over the next 12 months – at a hefty 45% discount compared to subscribing monthly.
All of the usual benefits you've come to expect are there, from 100 extra Bank Spaces to Vault Access, the Premier Artifact and more.
Of course, with a new year of Premier Club comes new cosmetics – and this year it's the Demon Hunter Armour Cosmetic Set and the Stalker Pet!
Existing 12-Month Premier Memberships will renew into this year's Premier Membership, and you'll keep your current rate too. For full details and pricing for new Memberships, head here.
It’s the last push to the finish line for Competitive players of Fresh Start Worlds. The top 100 are gonna get their Golden Halos – could you be one of them?
As if that weren’t momentous enough, we're also hitting peak XP bonuses this week, with 2.5XP on all skills for ONE WEEK ONLY! This will be the highest XP rate you'll see as they'll begin to slow down back to the usual rate for the final eight weeks of the event. If there was ever a week to push for those gains, this is it.
Here's this week's bonuses in full:
NEW: +150% XP (skills below level 70).

Garden of Kharid & DXP: LIVE Friday! - This Week In RuneScape
Winter may be coming, but we're getting into a growth mindset with the new Garden of Kharid - and with superb timing, Double XP LIVE returns this Friday!
The Elder Gods have been defeated, and Gielinor can finally heal. Now a strange garden has popped up – in Kharid, of all places! The druids Polletix and Sydekix want you to investigate.
Visit the garden North of Al-Kharid to access a new herb patch, as well as a whole suite of rewards that optimise your Farming experience and yields!
Farm across Gielinor, earn currency and use it to unlock powerful upgrades, including the all-new Plant Power which lets you plant multiple seeds in one patch! Plus, get your hands on Supreme Growth Potions to have those crops springing up almost instantly!
You'll also find new Thieving targets and items that optimise your Runecrafting.
In the spirit of change and #growth, we've also made some major quality of life updates to Farming – Diseased Farming Patches no longer kill your crops, Compost Bins are more efficient and Nightshade Patches grant a minimum of three produce every time!
Head to the area North of Al-Kharid and talk to Polletix and Sydekix to get started. You’ll need 50 Farming to dig in.
Today’s update sees the continuation of the two miniquests that were released with the Wilderness Flash Events. Together, these three stories bridge the gap between Daughter of Chaos and our final major quest of the year. Dive in and explore the ongoing Zamorakian activities emerging as civil war ravages the Wilderness!
How To Play
The Civil War miniquest series is available to all members who have completed Daughter of Chaos and have 50 Farming.
To start part three, travel to the Wilderness and speak to Anne Dimitri.
Double XP LIVE returns this Friday November 11th until Monday November 21st, starting and ending at 12:00 PM Game Time. The perfect moment to get on some Farming with Garden of Kharid? Maybe!
DXP LIVE is a 10-day event where you have 48 Hours of Double XP to use at your leisure. You can even pause the timer if you need to do other activities and don't want to lose precious DXP time! If you won't be using all your time, you can also trade an hour of DXP per day for credits to use with Nic The Trader.
This event is for the main game and NOT for Fresh Start Worlds – though there's some sweet XP boosts going on over there too, so let’s take a look at those in the next section!
The competitive period of Fresh Start Worlds is coming to a close, and the XP is getting spicy! You now get double XP for all skills above level 70, and 2.25x the XP for all skills below level 70. In a new twist, every monster or boss drop now has a 20% chance to be doubled, and Tier 4 Auras now are available too! Good luck out there, freshies.
Here's this week's bonuses in full:
+125% XP (skills below level 70).
NEW: +100% XP (skills above level 70).
Continuation of Free Deaths.
NEW: 20% chance to double a monster or boss drop.
NEW: 35% chance to double gathered materials.

+100% Accuracy in combat.

Halloween Is Here! - This Week In RuneScape
Halloween is back at Draynor Manor, with a new miniquest and even more creepy cosmetics for brave skillers! Plus we’ve got free deaths in Fresh Start Worlds, an update to our policy on fan fiction and more…
Halloween is here and things are getting a little freaky down at Draynor Manor! From a new miniquest to creepy activities with skeletons and cauldrons there’s plenty to get your fangs into from October 24th to November 6th.
Just like last year you can take on miniquests and then train your skills in a variety of haunting activities in the Manor grounds, earning you Spooky Tokens and allowing you to build your collection of Halloween cosmetics. There are now 20 items to acquire, including two brand new additions!
What's New This Year?
We've added a fang-tasting new miniquest which follows Fame as she investigates Vampyres! Complete it for the Vampyric Regalia Outfit.
Plus, we’ve added two new cosmetics – the Death's Death Mask and the Renegade Armour cosmetic override set – and brought back the Web Cloak!
We're also giving you some handy buffs to help you complete each activity more efficiently. They're called BOOsts and you can get them at the Spooky Reward Shop!
Plus
Five different activities to train a variety of Skills, each with their own miniquest!
Spooky Reward Shop with 20 Halloween-y cosmetics to earn through gameplay!
Spooky Time XP bonuses for Halloween activities (giving up to 14% additional boost if you complete all the miniquests)!
How To Play
Head to Draynor Manor and speak to the various horrible hosts for each activity. Just like everything we release, the Halloween event is available for players in Fresh Start Worlds. Check out our Halloween newspost for all the details: Here!
Treasure Hunter: Grim Harvest is back! This year it’s all about masks, with three ghastly face coverings to grab - the Boolap Bag, Spooky Hare and Spooky Ghost masks! All of them can be found in token form through the Harvest Bonus.
There’s also a Very Rare Reward to look out for – it's a new riff on the Halloween Masks of old, the tradeable Purple Halloween Mask!. You have a chance to find this Mask with any key used in Grim Harvest.
Plus, every key used provides H'Oddments which you can use in the seasonal store to claim goodies like the Wraith Walk Override Token and past rewards from Count Yakula’s Yak Track!
In the appropriate Halloween spirit, Death has decided to grant a little festive mercy to all you fresh starters – he’s abolished death costs in Fresh Start Worlds from now on!
We've also opened up those Tier 3 Auras to help you on your way. Here's this week's bonuses in full:
+100% XP (skills below level 70).
+75% XP (skills above level 70).
NEW: Free Deaths
25% chance to gather double materials.
NEW: Tier 3 Auras unlocked.
+50% Accuracy in combat.
Following the release of the Mac Beta Client, we've added another exciting update to the Jagex Launcher over the past week – well hello there multi-account support!
Now you can authenticate multiple accounts with the Launcher and flip between them through a super-simple drop-down menu. And thanks to the security of the Launcher, as long as you haven't been inactive for over 30 days, it can all be done at the press of a button with no login credentials required anytime you switch!
This is another step towards our utimate goal of a single secure Jagex account covering all your different characters. We'll keep you updated on our progress as we go!
Back in July we published our Fan Content Policy – a document designed to give you confidence about what you can and can't create without permission.
We saw some really positive feedback about this from most of our creative communities, but for fan fiction writers, it's clear the policy limitations around word count could impact the creativity of some of the more prolific writers among you!
So, we've released an updated version of the policy has been published today where section 4.1.4 now reads:
Fan Fiction - you can write stories inspired by your adventures in-game and share these on non-commercial third-party fan fiction sites like fanfiction.net or archiveofourown.org, provided you do not receive payment for them in return. If you intend to write a piece of fan fiction for a commercial site (such as Amazon, for example), for commercial publication in a physical form or as a paid-for commission for publication or commercial use, then you will need to run this by us first.
We hope this provides a clearer creative boundary that doesn't limit your personal writing projects with worries about wordcount! Thanks for all your feedback as always.
Some Worlds - all of them UK based - will be offline this Tuesday for us to perform necessary maintenance that will keep our services running optimally.
The Worlds are expected to be offline for approximately three hours at 10:00 Game Time on Tuesday. A maintenance post will appear on RuneScape.com while this work is active so you can track if the Worlds are still down. The post will disappear when the Worlds have returned.
Iron accounts can now correctly open the rewards from Wilderness Flash Events.
Fixed a scaling issue for Wilderness Events that prevented encounters like King Black Dragon Rampage from ending by getting stuck on 0 health.

Implemented the following adjustments at the request of players completing quests in timeline order:
Moved Blood Pact in the timeline sort between Cook's Assistant and The Restless Ghost, for an early intro to combat prior to the skeletal warlock.
Moved Recipe for Disaster in the timeline sort from Heroic to Legendary, so it's listed after its requirements (Legends' Quest, Monkey Madness and Desert Treasure).
Moved The Great Brain Robbery in the timelist sort from Heroic to Legendary and below Recipe for Disaster, as it requires Recipe for Disaster: Freeing Pirate Pete.
Reclassified Pieces of Hate's difficulty from Master to Grandmaster, as it requires multiple 80+ skills. This moves the pirate finale in the timeline sort from Legendary to Mythic, alongside the finales to the elf, dwarf and myreque series.
Reclassified Desert Slayer Dungeon (miniquest) difficulty from Intermediate to Master, as its skill requirements are in the 60-80 bracket. This moves it from Champion to Legendary.

Wilderness Flash Events - This Week In RuneScape
The Wilderness is the place to be this week, as we launch new miniquests, combat encounters and skilling activities!
The Wilderness got a new lease of life recently, and the good times continue this week with the launch of Flash Events!
This is a new series of repeatable scenarios for combat players and skillers alike. With no level or quest requirements, and easy-to-understand, satisfying gameplay, anyone can jump in and get involved!
Every hour, one of the 13 new possible events will spawn. These bite-size scenarios range from skilling activities, such as Mining a Fallen Star spewing deadly fire, to combat encounters – including a potential confrontation with the King Black Dragon!
Rewards
Completing events bags you XP as well as loot from the Wilderness Flash Events loot table. On top of that, there are some very special rewards waiting for you…
A Dark Onyx Core will drop in special encounters. This is a character-based Enchantment that, once activated, transforms high-end skilling items Grace of the Elves, Luck of the Dwarves and Passage of the Abyss into even more powerful variants.
Other rewards include the new Wilderness Obelisk and Flash Event teleports, plus Wildy loot table improvements!
How To Play
Start by visiting the Wilderness Flash Events hosts, Nikkel and the Wandering Ramokee, in Edgeville, near the Wilderness Wall. You can also track events as they appear via the Distractions and Diversions menu.
For a more detailed look at this update, including the event schedule, check out our minipost: Here!
Today’s update also sees the launch of two miniquests, (of an eventual three) which together will bridge the gap between Daughter of Chaos and our final major quest of the year. These miniquests explore the ongoing Zamorakian activities emerging as civil war ravages the Wilderness!
Complete Civil War Part 1 to unlock your third Infernal Puzzle Box reward, which prevents adrenaline from draining outside of combat*, plus a Small XP Lamp.
Then finish Civil War Part 2 – tied to the new Wilderness Flash Events – to unlock your fourth Infernal Puzzle Box reward, which provides a 25% extra experience boost to Brawling Gloves, and another Small XP lamp!
Part 3 will arrive with a future update, so stay tuned for more news on that front!
How To Play
The Civil War miniquest series is available to all members who have completed Daughter of Chaos.
To start Part 1, head to Falador Castle throne room. Select 'Legacy of Zamorak' when the pop-up appears.
To start Part 2, visit Anne Dimitri in the Wilderness, northeast of Edgeville.
*Note: If you already have the third Infernal Puzzle Box reward unlocked, you will retain access to it and won't need to complete this miniquest to gain the benefits.
Double XP has arrived in Fresh Start Worlds! Skills under 70 will benefit from Double XP all week, while those over 70 will get their first XP rate increase to +75%. Oh, and if you've been trying to get those valuable mats for levelling, we've got good news – you will have a 20% chance to scoop a double helping of whatever resource you're after every time you gather!
Here's this week's bonuses in full:
NEW: +100% XP (skills below level 70).
NEW: +75% XP (skills above level 70).
NEW: 20% chance to double gathered materials.
Tier 2 Auras Unlocked.
+50% Accuracy in combat.

It's now possible to trade FSW Halos, Familiar Halo appearance tokens and Inverted Skillcape tokens with Iron accounts.
Halos and Familiar Halo appearance tokens can now be traded on the Grand Exchange.
Dinarrows can be now imbued faster to prevent the logout timer from activating. The amount of XP given per stack of Dinarrows has been reduced by the same proportion, to maintain the same XP per hour.
Moved where Abyssal Scourge stacks build in the combat system. They will now apply via Essence of Finality specials and against NPCs that fake health bars (for example, Zamorak's red bar).
The Magma Tempest (targeted) ability has now been fixed and triggers correctly when switching targets.
Updates on your daily challenge progress are now displayed in the chatbox (but only for challenges which give a progress update, obviously).
Fixed Solak solo player scaling related to the Blight Bar in Phase 2.
Fixed Solak projectile animations.

The 'A Familiar Feeling' achievement is now possible for players with max Summoning Points.
The game no longer crashes on Mobile while entering the Penguin Agility Course.
