Phantom Muspah, New Sacrifice Perks, Clan Bans, QoL and Bug Fixes
 

Hello everyone,

Tonight's patch contains quite a few different things. We have added a brand new boss with its rewards, addressed some urgent PvP fixes, made changes to raids, added new limited rares, implemented new sacrifice perks, attempted to fix some large-scale problems and MUCH more. I tried to keep the patch notes as brief as possible, 50% because I don't want to bore everyone with a huge list and 50% because I wrote it at 8am with no sleep. If you'd like more details on any of the updates, I can explain through Discord

  • Phantom Muspah
    • The first new boss has been released! The boss should work pretty closely with how it works on OS, so any guide from there should apply here as well.
    • You can find its teleport under the Bosses category.
    • Of course with the new boss, comes all the new rewards that come along with it:
      • Ancient sceptre: upgraded ancient staff variant that increases the effects of Ancient Magicks by 10%.
      • Venator bow: bow that can be charged for multi-hit passive that can target up to 3 nearby monsters when in multi-combat areas.
      • Saturated heart: improved imbued heart that can boost magic by up to 13 levels.
      • Forgotten brew: can be made by using ancient essence on ancient brews. Can boost magic by up to 10 levels and restore prayer by up to 11 points.
  • Chambers of Xeric
    • Purple weightings have been changed to increase the rarity of mega rares, the Twisted bow in particular.
      • Average time to obtain Twisted bow: 56 hours >>> 79 hours
      • Average runs to obtain Twisted bow: 136 >>> 190
      • These numbers were calculated based off the average completion times and party points from all the completed runs since launch: 106,012 points at 24.292 minutes
    • Loadouts can now be used inside the Chambers of Xeric lobby.
    • Hammer weapons can now be in inventory or equipment when smashing crabs.
    • Fixed issue where clicking on tendrils or flames that spawn in some room entrances while on top of them would cause you to go into the adjacent wall (happened when a party member started the room as you were walking where the objects spawn).
    • Fixed bug that caused Dexterous prayer scroll to be more common than Arcane prayer scroll.
  • Tombs of Amascut
    • Added Tumeken's Slayer Helmet kit reward
      • Can be obtained by completing a deathless lvl-600 run.
      • Can be used on a Slayer helmet to alter its appearance and create a Tumeken's slayer helmet.

      • Blood spinners must now be standing still for at least one tick before they can deal damage onto nearby targets.
    • Scabaras:
      • Spam clicking Obelisks will no longer spam falling rocks (only one set of falling rocks can occur at a time).
    • Apmeken:
      • Fixed issue where Cursed baboon would keep leaving poison in tiles for a few ticks after it had been killed.
      • BaBa Sarcophagus damage multiplier based on drained prayer points has been significantly been reduced.
    • Het:
      • Pillar damage increased for Third age, Crystal and Corrutped pickaxes:
        • Lvl 100+ mining: 19-21 >>> 23-25
        • Lvl 85+ mining: 17-19 >>> 21-23
        • Otherwise: 10-12 >>> 19-21
    • The Wardens:
      • Fixed bug in P2 where if the warden went down while a special projectile is mid-air, the projectile damage would hit the target once the warden stood back up.
      • Fixed the waiting period after killing all skulls during P3 Siphon phases.
    • Added ::toarate command.
      • When enabled, you will receive a message in your chatbox giving you more insight on your purple rate for that run upon entering the Treasure Room.
  • PvP
    • Abyssal Dagger (Bh) special:
      • Special energy requirement reduced: 35% >>> 25%
      • Accuracy boost increased: +25% >>> +40%
    • PvP armour and weapons can now be used against monsters within the Wilderness.

    • Quicksand
      • 3500 points
      • Increase raid levels given by Shifting Sands relics: +25 >>> +50
  • Instances
    • There has been some random bugs when it comes to instances, such as npcs or objects that aren't supposed to be in a certain instances somehow spawning in. There was also an issue where sometimes neighboring instances would trigger some RuneLite plugins, such as the boss respawn timers. To try and fix this issue, we have reworked the padding in between every instance to be consistent. Though it may not sound like it, this is a big change and can mess things up. I have added a toggle to switch back to old instance padding incase of any issues. I'll be keeping a close eye on this; let me know if you notice anything out of the ordinary!
    • PS: I've also included some possible fixes for scripts randomly breaking sometimes. If this is not fixed, we at least knocked down a few possible causes and will be closer to permanently solving it.
  • Kraken Cove instance
    • As a lot of you have seen, the Kraken Cove instance has been way too overpowered for the amount of effort it takes. We have tried several other ways of nerfing this method without making it too bad, however it's still better than we'd like it to be for sacrifice points. The following changes have been made:
      • You now require a Cave Kraken slayer task in order to go into the instance as well as to kill the krakens within the instance.
      • Cave krakens tasks can no longer be extended through Extension Vouchers.
      • Instance fee has been reduced: 250k >>> 50k
  • Clan Bans
    • For now, we have placed a temporary ban system for clans. When you "kick" players from the clan, they will automatically be added to the ban list. This ban system will ban all the other player's accounts. You can check info on who banned them and when by right-clicking the "Setup" button on the Clan Chat tab and selecting "Bans." You are also able to lift the ban should you want to.
    • The ban lists are reset on server updates.
    • This system will be refined and redesigned with time.
  • New Limited Rares
    • Something we didn't expect to be so popular when we launched was the limited rares in the sapphire mystery boxes. As it's been highly requested for the past week, we have decided to release a handful of new rares for the current sapphire mystery box. However, we have decided that going forward (after this patch), we will be rotating new rares every season: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. When new rotations come in, there will be a "new" mystery box with the new rares. This means that mystery boxes purchased before then will not contain the new rares.
    • To give more values to these rares, as well as allow them to last longer than a few days; we have decided to 1. increase the rarity rate and 2. lower the maximum amount of the rares that will be in the eco.
    • The following items have been added as limited rares: (Overview, Brainbowl + Festive Cracker, 3rd age ancestral + Regal Sceptre)
      • Regal Sceptre
        • As one person hoarded most of the Royal Sceptres that were released in the ;;store limited stock's section, we added this to give everyone a more fair shot at obtaining a similar item.
        • Can be used to levitate similar to the other sceptre.
      • Brainbowl
      • 3rd age ancestral colour kit
        • When obtained from the mystery box, you will receive 3 at a time. This means that in total there will be 50 full ancestral sets with this kit.
        • Can be dismantled from ancestral robes at any time to re-obtain the kit.
      • Festive cracker
        • Wieldable christmas-cracker-like item that can be "torn" to receive a one-of-a-kind partyhat: (Partyhats)
          • Grey partyhat
          • Golden partyhat
          • Third-age partyhat
          • Stripe partyhat
        • Once this cracker is torn, the cracker will disappear and you will receive one of the partyhats listed above that has not yet been obtained by anyone else.
  • Miscellaneous Changes
