    • To pick up a task, simply click the task icon below the "minimize" button on your BH overlay while you're in the wild
      5S6U8j5.png
       
    • What you need to know:
      • Most of these tasks, unlike PK task scrolls, require you to follow the rules of the task for the entire fight in order to count
      • You have the option to "skip" your task for a new one at a maximum of 3 skips every 10 minutes
        • If you skip or fail your task, your bounty task streak will reset to 0
      • Bounty task streaks provide additional bounty points if you successfully complete the task
        • Task streak reward is calculated by: 100,000 bounties x streak (1M cap)
      • If you want to minimize the task overlay while doing a task, you can click the task button again to hide/show it.
         
  • Bounty Hunter Improvements
     
    • Risk wealth indicator
      • The entire "wealth risk" that appears in your BH target's details, or on your own equipment bonus screen, has been reworked!

        • This includes BRAND NEW risk tiers of "Very high" (purple skull) and "Extreme" (gold skull)
           
      • Below shows the market price range of risk that the system estimates and uses to determine your risk indicator

        SRGK4ML.png
         
    • Orb risk visual
      • Your bounty hunter overlay will now show you what type of Blood orb your target is risking, if any.

        llFwXwi.png
         
    • Other/miscellaneous
      • Fixed a bug where your bounty hunter overlay would sometimes still be on your screen even after you left the wilderness
      • Improved the inventory icon aesthetics for all BH emblem tiers

         
  • Xerician pendant
    • This new pendant can be obtained from the following:
      • Chambers of Xeric reward chest
      • Chambers of Xeric Great olm boss drop
      • Blood hotspot caskets (very rare)

      • It is tradeable, and riskable on death

        8mBxNym.png

Combat improvements and fixes:

  • Smite improvements and fixes
    • Fixed prayer drain to occur at the exact time damage applies to your hitpoints, rather than slightly before it
    • This includes fixes for a wide variety of previous issues with smite, including:
      • Certain weapons (such as Maleveolent) smiting based on pre-soak damage against things like protection prayers
      • Elemental mace special attack's prayer drain effect sometimes not working/procing
      • Players not being able to sip their restore potions before a hit's prayer drain, when they should've been able to
         
  • Fixed magic combat's distancing, where it would create too wide of gaps between you & your opponent during a chase
  • Fixed issues with the "log out" button, and how it would give players an unfair advantage while being targetted by other players
  • Fixed the long hit splat delay for throwing knives 
  • Fixed an issue with Statius warhammer special attack being far more accurate than intended
  • Fixed an issue with overhead prayer activation potentially causing delayed registration (WIP)
  • Blood c'bow is no longer boosted by Elderblood ring due to the imbalanced damage potential
  • Blood slayer bow now requires level 45 defence to equip
  • Ancient ward no longer gives negative melee stats

Gameplay improvements, QoLs, and fixes:

  • Bloodcore synthesis
    • The following items can now be exchanged for bloodcore tokens:
      • Tektonic chestplate and platelegs: 1,000 tokens
      • Fused slayer helmet: 2,500 tokens
      • Lava and Frost slayer helmets: 3,750 tokens
      • Earth slayer helmet: 4,250 tokens
      • Dragon claws (or): 4,500 tokens
      • Armadyl godsword (or): 1,500 tokens
      • Mystical tekton pet: 750 tokens
      • Shadow pet: 5,000 tokens
      • Viridescent fairy: 15,000 tokens
         
  • Item death protection values
    • There were a lot of issues with certain items protection over other items that are far more valuable than them
    • In order to broadly address this, we created a tool that assigns protection values based on the item's eco/market price
      • After this tool gave us the results, we then manually added items with no market activity
      • Lastly, we then made necessary adjustments to the automated values (with the help of the staff team!)
    • Items that are newly added are given estimated protection values and are subject to be modified once they get settled in the eco
       
  • Equipment hover
    • You can now view and compare the Magic damage bonus of an item when CTRL hovering

      X2Ou4LR.png

       
  • Pet fusions
    • The Limitbreak berserker pet fusion is now closed, meaning there is no pet in the fuser at this time
    • Made improvements to the existing Vigorous hydra pet:
      • Its lightning heals by default, and will also strike as one of these three forms of lightning:
        • Weaken: Drain enemy combat stats by damage dealt
        • Prayer sap: Increase your prayer by damage dealt
        • Powered: Deal a bonus +5-10 damage
           
  • Hide pets (non-wild)
    • There is now an option toggle to hide pets (when you're not in the wilderness)
    • This could potentially help players with client lag / FPS issues, when there are many pets visible at populated locations

      qR7IEp5.png
       
  • Other improvements and changes
    • You can now type ::skip to vote to skip for the currently active PvP hotspot
    • Bounty target teleport tabs will now warn if the teleport spot is nearby a multi-zone (within a 3-5 tile radius)
    • Pure zone has been closed off outside of the grand exchange due to certain players PK farming further down the map
    • Larran's chest now has a chance to give 25x blood diamonds (rare)
    • Sanguinesti orb (e) and Ghrazi blood hilt can now only be obtained in master or grandmaster ToB raids

      • 100x 100M cash bags

Addressing server lag

  • We've spent a lot of time investigating the cause for lag spikes, while still trying to get this content update ready for you guys!
  • A lot of optimization/improvements have been made, and we're hoping to see a reduction in those 'server-wide' lag spikes/delays.
  • As some of you may know, this is a on-going work in progress. We appreciate everyone's patience while we continue to work diligently on it!

Staff resources

  • We've been seeing a huge rise in our playerbase lately! And while this is a great, we are simultaneously seeing a proportionate rise in rule breaking.
  • There have been a wide variety of improvements made for the staff team's capabilities, powers, and tools. They will have an easier time not only punishing rule breakers, but catching them too.
  • In addition, we have added new measures to combat against the amount of "vote farmers" that we've been seeing lately
  • Thanks 4

Hey, does the vorkath max cape count as an ava assembler for the bounty assembler cape?

Also, is it too much to ask to add a toggle function to enchanted pet accessory? Thing costs a tooon of money and many pets look better with one color (it takes away all your solid colors)

 

Love the work and dedication, thank you!
