This week in Old School RuneScape, we’re introducing points-based Combat Achievements!
Points-Based Combat Achievements
It’s the update you’ve been waiting for! Many of you have been holding off on completing your Combat Achievements until the promised rework from Poll 79 launches – well, today’s the day, so you’ve got no excuses now!
Under the new points-based system, tasks are worth a number of points equal to their tier. Every task you complete will contribute to your point total. Naturally, the harder the task, the more points you’ll receive!
This provides a number of benefits, the main one being that all the awesome rewards available from Combat Achievements can now be unlocked with any combination of said Achievements, instead of having to complete an entire tier!
We hope the new system will encourage players to try out harder tasks earlier in their account progress, instead of feeling like there was no point trying until they were ready to complete the entire tier.
Since it’s been a while since the Poll 79 blog, here’s a refresher on how the new system works:
Step One
Complete a task and earn points. You can see how many points each task is worth beneath the task on the interface. You’ll also see a progress bar, which tells you how close you are to your next unlock!
Check out the table below to see how many points each task tier is worth:

Step Two
When you’ve earned enough points to fill the green progress bar, you’ll unlock a new reward!
This interface works similarly to the ones found in Leagues modes – and just like Leagues, you can plan ahead and get a sneak peek at unlocks beyond your current tier!
Step Three
Reap your rewards! It’s really that simple!
You’ll also notice the following improvements to the Combat Achievements interface:
Tier icons have changed size from 32 to 24px.
Boss models will now spin when they’re supposed to!
Further Poll 79 Changes
Although our new Combat Achievements system gets its own special section, we haven’t forgotten about the other changes you voted for in Poll 79! Let’s take a look at the improvements we’ve made this week…
Abyssal Lantern
While developing our new Runecraft minigame, Guardians of the Rift, we decided that it would be more thematically appropriate for players to obtain the Abyssal Lantern from the Reward Rift, rather than having to buy it from Saradominist wizards.
However, this meant that the reward was totally reliant on RNG, which isn’t particularly fair, especially considering that we originally polled the Lantern as a reward from the shop.
In this week’s update, we’re allowing players to purchase the Abyssal Lantern for the first time. While it won’t be available in the Reward Shop for the aforementioned lore reasons, players can purchase it directly from Felix for 1,500 Abyssal Pearls. In the course of this conversation, Felix will explain how the wizards got hold of this unholy artefact… to learn more, go and have a chat with him!
Looting Bag
Players can now purchase the Looting Bag from any Slayer master for 10 Slayer Points. This should be a welcome change for Ultimate Iron players, as it means the Looting Bag is now obtainable without having to engage in PvP content if they do not wish to.
Trouver Parchments
The Wilderness Slayer loot table has been adjusted such that two Trouver Parchments will now drop at a time, instead of just one.
Other Changes
Chambers of Xeric
We’ve added a storage chest in the Chambers of Xeric lobby which functions as a Bank! Now it’s easier than ever to swap gear before diving into the raid.
While we’re at it, we’ve also added two storage units to the Great Olm’s antechamber, meaning last-minute gearing up and restocking can happen without anyone having to clamber up a rope!
Please note that you can only use the Bank interface before the raid begins – once it’s started, the interface will close.
Here’s this week’s smaller changes:
Wilderness Weapons and the Bracelet of Ethereum now have a ‘Add-X’ function when charging.
Expanded Activity HiScores from a minimum KC of 20 to a new minimum of 15. You know the drill by now; players currently in the 15-19 KC range should find their scores are added gradually over their next few gaming sessions. This change is part of a long-term project to expand the HiScores, which we’re undertaking in small steps to relieve the load on the system.
The ‘Check’ option on charged weapons from the Wilderness Boss Rework no longer displays when the Bank is open, meaning they can now be equipped more conveniently.
Fixed a typo in the Rune Mysteries quest.
Players may once again automatically remove permanently muted or banned players from their Ignore list. The removal process runs roughly once each day, rather than continuously, to reduce the load on our systems.
Reduced the active area of the Minimap where it overlaps with the Wiki button. Players who have the Wiki button enabled while using the fixed-size display mode on desktop devices will find that clicking it no longer triggers Minimap walk requests.
Disabled the Party Room in Quest Speedrunning worlds.
Adjusted the Quest Speedrunning Diamond Trophy for Dragon Slayer 2 from 70 minutes to 60 minutes.
Fixed a bug where Quick Prayers were not turning off consistently in PvP.
Fixed a bug with a Falador Easy Achievement Diary task following the recent makeover changes.
Easter Event
The Easter event has now been removed. We hope you had a wonderful time experiencing Mod Manked's first-ever project!
