[expand type=show more]
Royal Titans Combat Achievements
Royal Titans Combat Achievements are here! Take on a new set of Easy to Elite tasks, including speed challenges, perfect kills, and teamwork feats to test your skills.
Already ahead of the game? If you've met the requirements, your Kill Count and Speed Achievements will auto-complete as soon as you open the CA interface!
Royal Titans Changes
The HP threshold for joining an ongoing Royal Titans fight has been lowered from 510 to 450, allowing you to enter at a slightly later stage.
Added a "Quick-start" option when right-clicking the entrance at the Royal Titans to directly create a fight.
The Twinflame staff will now grant a reduction of 1 action delay when finishing off a Royal Titan minion with the echo hit from a bolt/blast/wave spell. This behaviour already exists for all other weapons/spells when you kill a Royal Titan minion.
Royal Titans Drop Rates
If solo, Branda and Eldric will drop Prayer Scrolls and Twinflame staff pieces at a rate of 1 in 75. The Giantsoul amulet drops at a rate of 1 in 16.
In a duo, assuming both players contribute exactly 50% of the damage to each of the titans, the Prayer Scrolls and Twinflame staff pieces drop at a rate of 1 in 150. The Giantsoul amulet drops at a rate of 1 in 32. This means that if you're killing the Titans twice as fast in a duo and doing exactly 50% of the damage, your time to obtain uniques is exactly the same. Since duos tend to be more than twice as fast, you should always obtain uniques faster if you're pairing up with another player.
Regular loot quantities and unique drop rates are based on your individual contribution. If you're a mid-level account duoing with a maxed-out Scythe/Torva user, your chances to see uniques in your name will feel lower.
There's no MVP system at play, so both players can obtain uniques and pets on the same kill. The pet rate is 1 in 3,000, or 1 in 1,500 when sacrificing, neither of these rates scale with contribution.
Hard Clue Scrolls drop at a rate of 1 in 25, whereas Elite Clue Scrolls 1 in 100. Contribution doesn't matter for these.
OSRS 12th Birthday Rewards
Head to the Party Room and chat with Deviled Dave to claim your classic Imp outfit.
Once you've collected this year's reward, you'll also unlock the ability to reclaim any past birthday rewards you may have missed by speaking with Party Pete.
Alternatively, you can unlock this feature through the rewards table - but remember, you'll still need to talk to Deviled Dave if you want to receive this year's rewards.
If your account is too new to claim tradeable rewards you’ll be able to reclaim them from the reward table once you've accrued enough playtime.
Client and Mobile Updates
Fixed an issue where hotkeys were displaying incorrectly on some devices and could not be opened
Other Changes
Clans can now track the 'last seen' dates of their members of all ranks, rather than only those who are administrators or above. As this tracking can now affect considerably more people than before, a new option in the Settings menu will give you the choice to stop your 'last seen' date from updating each day, in case you would prefer your clan not to know you've been active.
Fixed a bug where items with Trailblazer Tool kits could not be equipped from the bank menu if using the Trailblazer Reloaded style.
The Magic Guild portals have been updated to remove non-functional extra options, and to clarify what they do.
We've fixed an issue where viewing another player's Collection Log in their Player-Owned House could incorrectly update your Collection Log hiscores to reflect their progress instead of your own. Your hiscores will now always display your personal Collection Log progress as intended.
PvP Rota
The PvP rota has moved to Period A:
539 - (US) - PvP World
318 - (UK) - Bounty Hunter World
548 - (Germany) - High-Risk PvP World
577 - (US) - Free-to-Play PvP World
559 - (UK) - LMS Competitive
World 390 (AUS) for LMS Competitive has been activated with this rota.
World 569 (AUS) for Bounty Hunter has been activated with this rota.
The PvP Arena is using '1 Def Pure' loadouts in Ranked Duels and Tournaments this week. [/expand]

We've also made a few tweaks from last week based on your feedback:
The HP threshold for joining an ongoing Royal Titans fight has been lowered from 510 to 450, allowing you to enter at a slightly later stage.
Added a "Quick-start" option when right-clicking the entrance at the Royal Titans to directly create a fight.
The Twinflame staff will now grant a reduction of 1 action delay when finishing off a Royal Titan minion with the echo hit from a bolt/blast/wave spell. This behaviour already exists for all other weapons/spells when you kill a Royal Titan minion.
And before we move on, here are the drop rates for the Royal Titans' uniques!
If solo, Branda and Eldric will drop Prayer Scrolls and Twinflame staff pieces at a rate of 1 in 75. The Giantsoul amulet drops at a rate of 1 in 16.
In a duo, assuming both players contribute exactly 50% of the damage to each of the titans, the Prayer Scrolls and Twinflame staff pieces drop at a rate of 1 in 150. The Giantsoul amulet drops at a rate of 1 in 32. This means that if you're killing the Titans twice as fast in a duo and doing exactly 50% of the damage, your time to obtain uniques is exactly the same. Since duos tend to be more than twice as fast, you should always obtain uniques faster if you're pairing up with another player.
Regular loot quantities and unique drop rates are based on your individual contribution. If you're a mid-level account duoing with a maxed-out Scythe/Torva user, your chances to see uniques in your name will feel lower.
There's no MVP system at play, so both players can obtain uniques and pets on the same kill. The pet rate is 1 in 3,000, or 1 in 1,500 when sacrificing, neither of these rates scale with contribution.
Hard Clue Scrolls drop at a rate of 1 in 25, whereas Elite Clue Scrolls 1 in 100. Contribution doesn't matter for these.
12 Years of OSRS - Let's Celebrate!
Twelve years of OSRS – now that’s something worth celebrating! The Party Room in Falador is getting a birthday makeover, and we’re inviting everyone to join the fun. Expect cake, decorations, and some mischievous imps running about! Meet Deviled Dave – The Snack-Loving Imp!
At the heart of the celebration is Deviled Dave, a sneaky-looking man with an insatiable appetite for deviled eggs and all things impish. Find him tucked away in the corner of the Party Room, and chat with him to get your hands on a brand-new imp costume! The costume, inspired by the classic imp design, includes a hood and tail that’s sure to have you looking the part.
But that’s not all! Deviled Dave isn’t just here to feast on deviled eggs - he’s also your go-to guy for reclaiming past Birthday rewards. If you’ve missed out on any event items over the years, have a word with Dave, and he’ll sort you out. After that, you’ll unlock access to Party Pete’s all-new Birthday rewards menu, where you can grab any old event items you might have missed. You can also unlock this through the rewards table - but you'll still need to chat with Dave if you want to claim this year’s goodies.
Newer to the game? No worries! If your account is too fresh to claim the tradeable rewards, you’ll be able to reclaim them from the rewards table once you’ve put in enough playtime.
And what’s a birthday without cake? Grab a slice of birthday cake to heal 3 HP – it even matches the colour of the cake! Don’t forget the party snacks on the tables; click to grab a bite and heal 3 HP. But be warned: if you try to grab too many snacks at once, you’ll get a fun little reminder to pace yourself.
Don’t miss out on the fun – grab your imp costume, chow down on some snacks, and reclaim your past rewards today! We’ll see you in Falador - just don’t eat all the cake at once!
Discord events
Just in case you missed it, we've also set up some fun Discord channels! Get involved over on the OSRS Discord:
#tattoo-suggestions Send us your suggestions! Artists, Mods Jerv & Skylark will pick some favourites to sketch for the Special Birthday Livestream.
#nostalgic-countdown Vote on and relive the most iconic RuneScape moments! Were you more of a “Free stuff pl0x & dance” or a “Buying GF?” kinda player? Pick your favourite!
#birthday-cakes The competition has now closed, and it’s time to see the community’s culinary creativity! Three finalists have been selected, and Twitch chat will decide the ultimate winner LIVE on stream! Don’t miss it!
Catch the Action on Twitch!
We'll be showcasing a lot of this content on the OldSchoolRS Twitch channel on Thursday, February 20th at 16:30 GMT. Plus, Mods Kieren and Rice will be joining us to host a classic Castle Wars showdown - with a chaotic twist!
Last week, we revealed the details of this special game mode, where two J-Mods will go head-to-head with a unique challenge - Mods Kieren and Rice will act as tanky, high-HP targets for each team! Players must either defend their J-Mod or take down the enemy’s, all while navigating the mayhem of Castle Wars. J-Mods won’t be able to run, but their HP will be buffed to the nines, making them incredibly tough to take down - so expect absolute chaos on the battlefield!
Missed the breakdown? Check out last week’s blog for all the details, and be sure to tune in live to watch the madness unfold!
