Old School RuneScape - Mod Yume

How do you do, fellow Trailblazers?

Game Update Changes

We're making some changes to our weekly game update process! Going forward, we are going to be including a back up with each week's update to ensure we have the most up-to-date save data from each player to ensure we're ready for any circumstance once an update launches.

You might already be aware that we've been testing this over the past month to make sure we're happy with the process and making sure updates are still in a good place.

Because of this, it does mean that downtime for updates will be slightly extended to accommodate the backup and ensure that's processed correctly. So going forward, the normal update will still occur on Wednesdays and the process will look like the following:

10:45 GMT: 45-minute Shutdown Timer begins
11:30 GMT: Game goes offline
12:00 GMT: The Game is back online

Throughout the year, the day and times might differ slightly to accommodate bigger updates or holidays, but we will always state this across our socials and via our Game Status newspost beforehand.

Leagues IV: Trailblazer Reloaded

It’s been a whole week since our latest League launched, and you’ve been ‘Scaping harder than ever before. We've hit record player numbers, seen incredible World Firsts, and observed ongoing civil war between Fire Sale and Banker's Note gangs. Most importantly, we’ve been having an absolute blast.

Behind the scenes, the team has been hard at work deploying hotfix after hotfix. Most of the more significant ones graced our Game Status page over the days following release, while others were slightly lower in priority. We're not going to list every fix we've made, but here are a few you might like to know about:

The ‘Flex’ emote now unlocks automatically with the Desert region, allowing players to complete the ‘Flex in front of The Guns’ Task.
Players are now correctly addressed by their chosen gender rather than a particularly spacious comma in certain NPC dialogues.

Remember, you may change your gender using the Makeover Mage’s services, which are now also available from Thessalia in Varrock.

The ‘Pray at an altar in Molch while poisoned’ Task can now be completed after selecting the Brawler’s Resolve Relic.
Unlocking the Fremennik area now auto-completes the ‘Complete Rune Mysteries’ Task.
Fixed an issue where some Hot/Cold Clue steps were leading players into the Desert even when this region was locked.
Soul Wars XP modifiers and caps now apply multipliers correctly. Players can gain up to 1,000,000 XP per day, so enjoy those Zeal gains!
Doors in the Barrows’ crypts no longer get ‘stuck’.
Krystilia now provides appropriate tasks for players’ combat level.
The Task for completing 10 Combat Achievements now completes properly.
Removed the Task for completing Elemental Workshop I, as it was auto-completed during the Leagues Tutorial.
Herbs planted within Chambers of Xeric are now properly harvested by players with the Farmer’s Fortune Relic.
Players with the Trickster Relic can now progress through the Barbarian Firemaking section of Otto’s Barbarian Training.
Players can now be assigned Hydra Slayer Tasks.
The following items now scale correctly with modified drop rates:

Gout Tuber
Revenant Weapon Upgrades
Voidwaker Pieces
Shade Scrolls
Zealot Outfit
Holy Elixir (from Corporeal Beast)

This week’s changes have mostly focussed on Clue Scrolls. If you’ve read your Tier 1 Relic’s passive effects, you’ll know that you should only be receiving Treasure Trail steps that you can complete in the regions you’ve unlocked. Unfortunately, there are a significant number of emote clues which don’t respect this rule – and Falo the Bard was being outright rude to players who haven’t yet unlocked the Fremennik area!

We’ve now made significant changes which should ensure that all the clue steps you obtain can actually be completed. If there are any we’ve missed, please let us know, and we’ll adjust them as soon as we’re able. Unfortunately, these kinds of changes can’t be hotfixed, so you may have to wait until next week’s update!

Next up, Bloodvelds are loose in Gielinor! We saw that the Bloodthirsty Relic felt pretty underwhelming in some regions, so we’ve added low-level superior Bloodvelds onto various Slayer Task Lists in regions where they’re available – and unleashed a small herd of them in Kourend, too! We’ve also adjusted the number of monsters players are required to kill on low-level Slayer Tasks to make things a bit more exciting.

Those are the biggest changes this week, but we also have some smaller tweaks to show you:

We've fixed an issue with the Guardian and it should now attack the following NPCs: Zuk, Kree'Arra, Vespula.
The Osmumten's Fang Special Attack should now hit it's max hit correctly.
Using Slayer points to extend the revenant task should correctly make your tasks longer.
The Magers and Rangers in the TzHaar-Ket-Rak Leagues Challenge will now attack you correctly.
The HP at Hard Mode Phosani's Nightmare should now correctly scale.
The Kill Count tasks for the Kalphite Queen have had their names updated to 1, 50 and 150 times respectively to be corrrect.
Protecting the Tree Patch for the Elite Western Diary can now be done with Farmer's Fortune. You'll still need to pay 25 Coconuts to complete this.
Fixed a graphical issue with the new animations for Low & High Alchemy.
Being killed by a PK will no longer delete your Rune Pouch.
Players using the Farmer’s Fortune Relic can now complete the ‘Cast Resurrect Crops’ Task.
Bolt Special Attacks will now correctly heal players with the Soul Stealer Relic.
The Granite Maul’s Special Attack now hits correctly.
Fixed a bug where the ‘Obtain a Magic Seed from a Bird Nest’ task was not completing correctly.
Fixed an issue that prevented players who’d unlocked Kourend and Kebos from filtering their Task List to Kourend Tasks.

Bloodthirsty Superiors will now have the correct icon above them.
