Brief explanation: Our main goal is and will always be to protect the integrity of the game and all players in the community. However we feel this rule has been enforced too strictly. We acknowledge that at times use of certain language is simply part of modern culture and hopefully this rule update will help balance that out.

Date & time of updated rule: October 27th, 2019Updated section: Rule #9: Multi-LoggingTime or date that the updated rule(s) will be put into effect: ImmediatelyPart(s) added, changed or removed: Highlighted in YELLOW

[spoiler]
9. Multi-Logging
Multi-logging is not against the rules of Alora, as we do allow players to be logged into multiple accounts at once. However, we do not allow multi-logging to gain an excessive advantage over other users. We are striving to maintain an environment in which no player has an exponential advantage over other players. First offenders will receive a 24-hour ban, Second offenders will receive a 48-hour ban and a bank wipe if deemed necessary, followed up with a permanent ban, and finally, an IP-ban.
• a. Playing on multiple accounts at once while participating in the same skill, boss, minigame or activity is not allowed. An example of this would be two accounts that are thieving at the same time or two accounts that are killing Corporeal Beast; these examples are against the rules. It is allowed to have one account skilling and another account bossing. This rule also applies to the use of the second account to assist yourself with bossing or skilling in the wilderness.
• b. Multi-logging in the wilderness is allowed if you have no interaction between any of your accounts. If you have one account skilling in the resource area, and another account killing people in the Revenant Caves this is OK. It is not OK, for example, to skill in the resource area and kill other players there on your alternate account. It is also not allowed to use a second account to protect your accounts in the wilderness. Scouts are also allowed to an extent, as long as they do not allow an unfair advantage over other players in the Wilderness. Firstly, scouts must be Level 3 combat and have ABSOLUTELY NO ITEMS equipped or in their inventory. Secondly, for example, if you bring a scout to Chaos Elemental to see who is there BEFORE teleporting there, this is okay. It is not okay, however, to plant a scout outside of the Rev Caves entrance while you kill Revs so that you can see when PKers are coming. Scout must leave before the main account can teleport to this location.

• a. Playing on multiple accounts at once while participating in the same skill, boss, minigame or activity is allowed up to 5 accounts at a time. Anything that exceeds that will be deemed a violation and the appropriate punishment will be handed to all accounts involved.
• b. Multi-logging in the wilderness is allowed if you have no interaction between any of your accounts.

[/spoiler]
Brief explanation: The way people play Runescape today is much different than it used to be and it is extremely common place to use more than one account to do things efficiently. This being said we will be allowing players who are able to multitask on multiple accounts to do so with higher effort resulting in higher reward. However, seeing as Alora only has one world, the integrity of the wilderness must be maintained and the rules for Wilderness Multilogging have not changed.

Hotfixes [7/10/2019]:
Basilisk knight fixes:
These can now be assigned as a Hard slayer task (between 40-110 will be assigned), or as one of Konar's slayer tasks (110-170 assigned).
You can also now be assigned location-based regular Basilisks and Dagannoths within Jormungand's prison by Konar. (Chance of Brimstone keys)
Basilisk jaw drop rate changes:
The default drop rate is approximately 1/2000 when you are not on a task, and 1/416 when you are on a Basilisk knight task, which is 5x lower. (Estimated to be 1/2500 and 1/500 on OSRS)
Slaying the Superior version (Basilisk Sentinel) makes this drop rate 25% easier, regardless of whether you are on task or not.
Removed Brimstone key drop unless you are on a Konar task.
Probita fixed and re-added.
Fixed a bug with Vote books allowing bonus XP stacking for certain game modes that were limited.
Fixed a client crash (black screen) in Relleka (and possibly other places)
You must restart your client and let it update to fix this bug.
Fixed Zalcano loot double-announcing.
Hello everyone,
Today's update brings some long-awaited Chambers of Xeric changes that allow you to solo more efficiently. We've also made some cool changes to the Voting system that allows accounts that were previously limited to 1 vote book every 12 hours (EIM/GIM/Realism etc) to open multiple books, but only 1 book for each bonus type (5 total). We've also added a random chance at obtaining the Alora-exclusive 'The Guns' pet, as well as the ability to purchase Rada's blessing (2) from the vote shop.
You are now finally able to manage the Kingdom of Miscellania! Speak to Advisor Ghrim to get started. Last but not least, we've worked hard to get the latest OSRS content out from their update last week, which introduced the new dungeon, Jormungand's Prison. Within this dungeon, you can find new Basilisk-type creatures that drop Basilisk jaws, which can be attached to the Neitiznot helm to create the Neitiznot faceguard.
In Other News…
For future updates that take longer than a week, we will make it a priority to release a development blog halfway through to show what we are working on. For obvious reasons, if we are working on getting an update out just 1 week after the previous one, there simply isn't enough time to write up a full dev blog, so they will only be written up for updates that are more time-consuming.
Bug fixes:
Removed the message that would print out into the chatbox every time you were Aerial fishing.
Inviting players to your GIM group that have 1-2 letter usernames is now fixed.
Catching kebbits through Falconry will now longer crush their bones if you don't have a bone crusher in your inventory or equipment.
Name changes for EIM will now allow you to keep the old storage box items (no items lost) as intended.
Players can now move around freely while Aerial fishing.
Red dragon tasks will no longer be assigned from Konar if Dragon Slayer 2 is not completed.
Fixed an issue where some areas in Iorwerth dungeon would not count towards Konar tasks.
The leaf-bladed sword now requires 50 attack to equip, instead of 65.
Seargant Steelwill, Seargant Grimspike, (Bandos minions) and K'ril Tsutsaroth (Zamorak boss) should no longer attack you if you are outside of their respective GWD rooms.
This also applies to instances.
Fixed a bug with agility laps not saving properly.
Corporeal beast's defence against Ranged-based attacks has been increased.
Tormented bracelet requirements:
The requirement to craft this bracelet, 95 Crafting, has been added.
Zalcano bug fix:
You can no longer cast Ancient Magicks spells on Zalcano or the Golem.
Konar smoke devil task fix:
For players who were tasked with Smoke dungeon smoke devils, and wanted to kill the Thermonuclear smoke devil in an instance, the instanced kill would not count towards your task.
This has been fixed, and both instanced and non-instanced kills will now properly count.
Fixed a bug which caused Theatre of Blood to crash if a party member had a 1-letter name.
Moonclan helm will no longer cause your head to be invisible.
Quality of Life:
Players can now sell the Golden Tench to Alry the Angler for 100 Molch pearls.
Players now have the option to hide the warning when entering the Karuulm dungeon permanently.
Chambers of Xeric changes:
Great Olm (final boss) additions:
Falling crystal phase:
During the falling crystal phase, it was difficult to know exactly which tile the crystals would fall on. To counter this, we've added a shadow on the exact tile each crystal will fall on, allowing you to avoid that tile and not take damage more efficiently.
Head turning:
Previously, Olm's head would always face one direction (straight ahead) and not turn to any side. This means that it's attacks would inflict damage on you no matter where you were standing.
Olm now periodically turns his head to the right or left, allowing you to avoid taking damage from his attacks if you are on the opposite side of where he is facing.
This doesn't negate the damage that you take from special attacks, such as when falling spikes follow you.
If Olm cannot find a player to attack in the direction it is facing, it will always turn to face the nearest player. This means that an experienced solo player can avoid taking much of the damage, but must run back and forth to avoid the direction Olm is facing.
Misc.
Fixed the projectiles that come out of Olm's mouth not being properly positioned.
Blade of Saeldor changes:
Each crystal shard now provides 100 charges, as opposed to 25.
The maximum amount of charges that can be added to the blade are now 20,000, instead of 2,500.
Vote Pet addition:
Players now have a 1/500 chance to receive ’The Guns’ as a pet when opening a vote book.
Players will have the option to “stroke” ’The Guns’, which will encourage him to start counting his workouts for all players to hear.
Rada’s Blessing:
Rada’s blessing 2 is now available in the vote shop for 600 vote points.
The blessing has the following perks:
An 8% chance to catch an extra fish when it is equipped.
An extra 5% reduced burn chance when using the Hosidius range(totaling 15% burn reduction)
An additional 10% blood runes when crafting blood runes.
A 5% chance to get an additional dense essence block when mining dense essence.
Protection from the burn effect in the Karuulm Slayer Dungeon when equipped.
Unlimited teleports to Mount Karuulm
Unlimited teleports to Land’s End
Vote book system changes:
We’ve implemented a few changes to the vote book system, which should be beneficial to everyone. This new system should ensure that more Alora receives more votes, and continues to grow, and will also be quite a bit more beneficial for all players who regularly vote.
One of the main changes is that players of all game modes can now select 5 of the vote book boosts per day.
Regular/classic/ironman/Ultimate Ironman players can still open an unlimited amount of vote books per day, however they’ll only be able to select the experience boost(as per usual) if they’ve used their 5 boosts already for the day.
Selecting bonus experience will not count towards the 5 boosts if a player has not used all of them yet.
Group/Elite/Hardcore ironmen, as well as Realism players will be limited to 5 total vote books per day, which includes experience boosts as well.
Since these game modes can now open 5 vote books per day, as opposed to the previous 1, the vote points received per book has been lowered from 25 to 15.
Restrictions:
Players can only select a boost if it is currently not active.
For example, if a player has 20 minutes left on a raids boost, they will not be able to open a vote book and select a raids boost again until the 20 minutes have elapsed, and the bonus is no longer active.
Vote book transferring:
Vote books can now be transferred to GIM/EIM/Realism players by "using" the item on them.
This was already allowed for most Ironmen, and was possible on the other game modes by trading auth codes, so this makes it a little bit more convenient.
Managing Miscellania:
We’ve decided to add the Kingdom of Miscellania management to Alora, in hopes that players will use it to passively gather resources in exchange for their spare cash.
How it works:
Players can get to Advisor Ghrim by using the “Miscellania” teleport in the teleport menu.
Note: Unfortunately, due to restrictions placed on Ultimate Ironmen, they cannot manage the kingdom of Miscellania, since they do not have a bank which the resources can be deposited in.
We’ve made it so that Ultimate Ironmen can still use the coffer to store up to 75m if they wish, and none of it will be drained, unless they de-iron, in which case the days since their gold was deposited will be counted retroactively.
Speaking to Advisor Ghrim will open up an interface where players can choose to deposit/withdraw money to the coffer, for the kingdom, and allocate up to 15 workers to 4 resources(Herbs/Flax, Wood, Fish(raw or cooked), and Mining).
The more workers allocated to a given resource will result in more resources when you collect, and any idle workers will not provide anything, so be sured to use them all.
Players can deposit up to 75m into the coffer, and every 12 hours, 10% of the coffer(up to 750k) will be drained. If less than the max(750k) is drained from the coffer on a given day, it will factor into your resources later on, with the max rewards for that given day being reduced.
This might occur if you only had, for example, 5m left in your coffer, therefore only 500k(10% of 5m) would be drained, leaving you with 66% of the max reward for that day.
Players can collect their resources at most once every 12 hours, or leave their resources to collect for up to 6 months.
After 6 months, coffers will no longer be drained until the player collects their resources.
Maximum resource rewards: The following resources below would be the maximum amount of resources a player could received each day if they have 10 workers allocated to that resource, and 750k gp was drained from the coffer:
Herbs: 14 x Grimy Tarromin, 10 x Grimy Ranarr, 20 x Grimy Harralander, 13 x Grimy Irit, 9 x Grimy Kwuarm, 7 x Grimy Cadantine, 7 x Grimy Lantadyme, 7 x Grimy Dwarf Weed, 9 x Grimy Avantoe.
Flax: 1750 x Flax.
Woodcutting: 450 x Maple Logs, 60 x Teak Logs, 60 x Mahogany Logs, 8 x Birds nest.
Fish(Raw): 250 x Raw Monkfish, 130 x Raw Shark.
Fish(Cooked): 250 x Monkfish, 130 x Shark.
Mining: 700 x Coal, 15 x Rune Ore, 5 x a random type of gem(Dragonstone(rare), diamond, ruby, sapphire, emerald).
Teleport Wizard interface updates:
Miscellania teleport has been added to both the 'Cities' page and the 'Skilling' page, as it falls under both sections.
Jormungand's Prison has been added to the Dungeon teleports (2nd to last teleport).
Website update:
Players with 1 or 2 letter names were unable to log in on the forums, with the error "You must fill in both fields" being displayed.
This issue is now fixed, and you should be able to log in normally.
Fixed a visual bug on the vote page on mobile.
Updated to the latest OSRS data:
This gives us the ability to use the very latest maps/items/monsters and more!
Jormungand's Prison:
Released last week in OSRS, Jormungand's Prison is a dungeon that contains Dagannoths, Basilisks, and the never-seen-before Basilisk Knights.
Multi-combat:
Most of the dungeon is multi-combat, except for where the Basilisk and Basilisk knights are located.
Access:
You can teleport here using the Dungeon page through the Teleport Wizard.
# of monsters:
49 Dagannoths
12 Basilisks
19 Basilisk knights
Basilisk Knights:
These creatures, which require level 60 Slayer to fight, attack with both magic/melee combat styles and require you to wear a Mirror shield or V's shield when fighting them, otherwise they may deal very high damage.
Occasionally, these creatures can fire out a red projectile, which you must dodge to avoid taking high damage. Simply stepping 1 tile away will suffice.
They have a unique drop — The Basilisk jaw:
The Basilisk jaw can be attached to a Helm of Neitiznot to create the untradeable Neitiznot faceguard, which is an enhanced variant of the regular helmet. (Bonus comparison in media below)
Basilisk Sentinel:
This creature is the superior variant of the knights which may sometimes appear.
Cannon use:
Cannons can be used in certain parts of the dungeon, but not in the rooms with the Basilisks or Basilisk Knights.
V's shield:
A new shield has been added to the Slayer reward shop for 6,000 points.
This shield is an upgrade to the mirror shield, and provides enhanced defensive bonuses (identical to an adamant kite shield).
It is useful for fighting Basilisk knights, as it will greatly reduce their damage.
Color-changing effect:
The color of this shield will change depending on the color of your feet.
Store updates:
Cosmetic Mystery Box (Ironman accessible):
A new mystery box has been added!
This box differs from other boxes mostly due to the fact that Ironman/Realism modes can purchase it, as it strictly contains cosmetics that do not provide an in-game advantage.
More importantly, this box is the only mystery box that has a rare chance of obtaining items from our custom donation list, such as the wise old man stick, bedsheet, and more.
Many different items can be obtained from the box, including:
ULTRA rare loot:
Tier 1: Partyhats (+ phat with specs), 3rd Age Druidic, Grain, Bunny ears, Wise old man staff, Peng pet
Tier 2: H'ween masks, Santa hat, God boss pet
Rare loot:
Tier 1: Solo custom items (eg. Bedsheet, Wise old man's staff, Sled, Holy water, etc)
Tier 2: Custom set items (individual pieces of sets such as the Ankou set, Skeleton set, Mummy set, Deadman set etc)
Regular loot:
Clue items such as gnome child hat, ring of nature/coins, etc.
Flippers, mudskipper hat, ornament kits, samurai gear, robes of darkness, cow outfit, flags/banners, masks (demon, balance, etc), shoulder parrot, slippers, and more.
Cost:
100 Tokens
Notes:
This item is tradable.
Although it is intended for ironmen, it can also be purchased by normal game mode players.
As always, please immediately report any bugs you encounter. Enjoy! :)
Regards,
Omicron & Chad

Fixed a bug where some NPCs (Revenants, Basilisk knights, etc) could not be attacked.
Hello everyone,
Today's update brings many different suggestions from you guys, and results from recent polls you've voted on. We've made sure to include a ton of bug fixes and QOL, as well as some new content such as Skotizo in the Catacombs, many new client settings, new clue scrolls, MM2 tunnels and Duel Arena presets. I know that we mentioned that development blogs were going to be posted if the update was going to be longer than a week, but there were many unexpected delays this week that made us want to focus our time fully on working on the actual update itself, and we hope that considering the size of this update, you will not be disappointed :)
Bug Fixes:
Bryophyta's staff is now tradable.
Fixed a bug where Kylie Minnow wouldn’t stop players from fishing if they exceeded 3000 minnows.
Fixed a bug where the player needed a noted lava battlestaff to enchant it
Fixed an issue where Disciples of Iban would spawn as Scout NPC's.
Fixed a bug that required players to have a jade in their inventory to make topaz amulets.
Fixed a bug where all storage bags would notify the player that they deposited the incorrect number of items.
This bug applied to the looting bag, herb sack, gem sack, bone sack, and seed box.
The items were all correctly deposited, it was just the amount shown to the player in the chat box that was inaccurate.
Fixed a bug causing the face mask to make the player's head invisible.
Fixed a bug with the falador tunnel shortcut.
Fixed a bug where players could equip/unequip the falconer/cormorant gloves.
Fixed a bug that required players to have 2 untanned black dragon hide instead of the tanned variant to make a black d’hide shield.
Added Hespori killcount tracker
Gilded D'hide Chaps/Vambs no longer require 40 defence to equip.
The white/purple raids light now shines above the chest properly.
Fixed an issue where selecting raw/cooked fish in Kingdom of Miscellania would give the opposite type of fish.
The Bonecrusher Necklace now acts as a bone crusher if it is in the players’ inventory
Note that without the necklace equipped, players will not receive the prayer bonus.
Added the defense bonuses to the music cape.
Fixed a Kingdom of Miscellania bug where right-click collecting would say you have nothing to collect if you hadn’t yet opened the interface to refresh the coffers.
Fixed a Kingdom of Miscellania bug causing players to only get the seed/gem rewards one, instead of based on the number of days they had waiting to be collected.
The bug causing pets to randomly disappear and not be able to be re-claimed has (hopefully) been fixed.
Added the cutting animation when cutting Aerial Fish.
Quality of Life:
Players can now right-click trade Elnock Inquisitor in Puro Puro.
Added the falador crumbling wall shortcut
Updated the glass blowing interface to be the more modern version.
Added reclaimable shop warning, which lets player know when the shop is getting full, and that untradeables will be permanently lost if their shop is full and they die.
The sound made when the Ava’s effect would take place to save ammo has been removed.
Slightly decreased the amount of worms required for solo raids and 2-4 man raids
Clue scroll drops will now be announced to the player in the chat-box.
Wesley Crusher has been moved next to Zahur due to popular request.
Players can now load more of the same type of darts into their blowpipes without first unloading it.
Added Digsite pendant teleports:
Can be used to teleport to:
Digsite
Verdant Valley
Fossil Island
Crystal armor/tools can now be reverted back to seeds by using the right-click option.
Players who choose to revert their items will not be refunded their crystal shards used to create the pieces, only the seeds used for them.
Added basilisk head to the list of boss heads that can be sacrificed to the dark altar for prayer experience.
Noted herbs can be cleaned for 1000 coins each as opposed to 500.
Doing so will not provide any Herblore experience.
Right clicking “Clean” on Zahur will still only clean the un-noted herbs, so that players do not accidentally clean their noted herbs and end up paying double.
Players who wish to clean noted herbs must speak to Zahur, and she will present an option to do so.
Added White Apron spawns to Wydin’s Food store and Gerrant’s fishing supplies in Port Sarim.
These are required for one of the new clue scroll emote steps.
Wilderness changes:
Players can no longer destroy any items in the wilderness while in combat with an NPC/Player.
Players now have priority when attacking their bounty hunter targets in single combat areas in the wilderness.
If a target is in combat with another player or another npc, and the player’s target attacks him while he is in combat, that will take precedence.
Kingdom of Miscellania changes:
The maximum 14 Tarromin daily herb reward has been replaced with 8 Toadflax.
Players now have a chance to get an elite clue scroll when claiming fishing resources.
The more days stored you have, the more likely you are to get the clue scroll.
Players will now receive 5 of a random seed per day, as opposed to 2, when collecting Herb/Flax resources.
Players will no receive up to 10 gems a day, as opposed to 5, based on the number of workers allocated to mining.
Makeover mage skin color changes:
Players can now change their skin color at the makeover mage, whether it’s a custom skin or a donator skin.
Each time a custom skin/donator skin is purchased or set, it will be saved to the players unlocked skins, so they’ll be able to cycle through their unlocked skins at the makeover mage.
When opening the makeover mage interface, the skin color you currently have will first be saved to your unlocked skin colors.
This means that players(particularly those who bought a custom skin) will not need to have their skin colors re-instated, they’ll instead be automatically added to your unlocked skins.
Duel Arena Presets:
Players can now save and load presets in the duel arena interface.
When loading a preset, it will save upon logout and can be used whenever the player desires.
The load last duel preset is also now functional.
Players can use this to apply the same settings as the previous duel they were in, however this preset won’t save upon logout.
Barbarian fishing changes:
Players can now use a knife on any of the leaping fish caught from barbarian fishing for cooking experience.
Cutting a leaping fish will provide players with 10 base cooking experience for leaping trout/salmon, and 15 base cooking experience for leaping sturgeon.
Cutting a leaping fish will also reward players with fish offcuts, which can be used as bait.
The revenant cave teleport scroll now teleports players to the level 40 wilderness entrance, as opposed to the level 17 one.
Bounty hunter teleport changes:
Players will now have a warning when using the bounty hunter teleporting, which will indicate the wilderness level of the player, and whether or not they are in a multi-combat zone.
Looting Bag Changes:
Clicking “Open” on the looting bag will not turn it into an open looting bag which will automatically deposit items that are picked up in the wilderness.
Clicking “Open” will also open the looting bag without warning, however clicking “settings” will still provide a confirmation warning to open the looting bag.
New clue scroll steps:
Map clue scrolls:
Wilderness Volcano
Ardougne zoo
Hobgoblin isle
Draynor village
Outside of Falador
Relekka lighthouse
Miscellania
Ourania
Tower of Life
Varrock Mine
Wizard’s tower

Cryptic clues:
These are a brand new type of clue scroll to Alora, in which players must follow the hints to find their next clue.
Monkey Madness 2 tunnels:
We’ve added the Monkey Madness 2 tunnels to allow players to burst/chin train, and believe this will give a more pronounced use for chinchompas.
To access the tunnels, speak to the teleport wizard and navigate to the Monsters section and select Maniacal Monkeys.
There are 2 of these tunnels, and they can be accessed by using the rope in either tunnel to move between the two.
Pest Control Shop Changes:
The elite void robe top and bottom have been removed from the pest control shop.
Players can now speak to the Void Knight to upgrade their regular void top/bottom.
This will cost 150 pest control points to upgrade each piece.
Teleblock changes:
Players will now have their Teleblock removed if they kill the player who Teleblocked them.
Bond fix:
Immortal donators who open bonds in-game will now longer be reset to Master donators.
In-game customs link updated.
Miscellaneous:
Ice gloves are no longer tradable.
After defeating the Jungle demon in the Monkey Madness quest, you will now be teleported back to King Narnode.
Polled Changes Below:
The following changes, which were polled by @[member="God"] last week, have been implemented:
Group Ironman players can now open Bloody chests and Supply chests.
Dragon bolts (unenchanted) have been added to the loot tables for both Bloody chests & Supply chests.
Fishing experience from Barbarian fishing has been buffed (20%).
The rate of obtaining Molch pearls from Aerial fishing has been slightly buffed.
Catacomb Skotizo
Skotizo can now be spawned in the Catacombs of Kourend.
This alternative to the wilderness location gives the same loot minus the ability to obtain wilderness items and high-tier loot.
Items EXCLUDED from Catacombs Skotizo:
Bloody keys
Wilderness emblems
Amulet of torture
Tormented bracelet
Necklace of anguish
Rune pouch
Skotizo's drop table has been updated to reflect this by displaying the items above in red (denoting that they are wilderness only).
Notes:
This is a solo fight in an instanced area.
Skotizo is easier to fight here, with lower HP than usual.
You can still only summon Skotizo once every 12 hours (whether it is in the wilderness or catacombs).
Minnow Fishing Changes:
Players can now fish more minnows without being interrupted by Kylie Minnow:
Regular donators/Players: 3000 minnow
Super/Extreme donators: 3250 minnow
Legendary donators: 3500 minnow
Uber/Master donators: 3750 minnow
Immortal donators: 4000 minnow
Website updates:
The screen you are shown after logging in (‘You are now signed in, please wait while we transfer you’) has been fixed.
Previously, this page was broken and showed a white background on the left side, and the message was not properly centered.
Store changes:
We’ve cleaned up a few things on the store, including:
A better looking ‘sale’ badge on sale items.
The ‘Buy Tokens’ button will now glow to show players who are unfamiliar with the store how to buy tokens. After you click it, it will no longer glow while you are on the token purchase page.
Bug fix:
GIM/Realism players were sometimes having their rank stripped and replaced by a Donator rank, which should no longer occur.
Forum changes:
Last Username display:
Some players who have changed their name would not have their old name show up on their profile (or when they post).
This is because the old name had a space in it, but these names will now be shown as intended.
Hiscores changes:
The Hiscores will no longer show 2 XP less than your total (Eg. Players who have maxed out every skill were showing 4,599,999,998 XP instead of 4,600,000,000).
New client settings:
Hide Antifire notification:
This client setting when toggled on will hide all anti-fire notifications(from the shields or the potions) from appearing in the chat box.
Minimum drop warning notifier:
Players can now set the minimum value of an item that requires confirmation to drop.
If the value of the item is higher than the minimum value set by the player, a confirmation box will appear, which the players will need to confirm before dropping the item.
Item Overlay Filters:
An option in the settings has been added to configure item overlay settings.
Add Filter:
Players can add filters of items (by name) to the list, which will specifically hide drops of those items.
Players can add a maximum of 100 filters.
Remove Filter:
Players can remove previously added filters (by name), which will once again cause those items to show up as overlays.
Minimum item value:
Players can specify a minimum item value for overlays, so any items that are worth less than this minimum value will not show up.
Clear filters:
We’ve also added an option to clear all the filters immediately, so players do not have to go through all of them manually if they wish to reset their filters.
Overlay item pricing:
Previously, item values were based on store value (very low). They are now based on GE value to make it more accurate.
Overlay item coloring:
Previously, only 2 colors were available for item overlays.
There are now 5 different colors:
Gold (extremely rare item) (1M gp+)
Orange (very rare) (750k+)
Purple (rare) (100k+)
Blue (uncommon) (50k+)
White (all other items)
Enjoy :) Please make sure that you report any bugs that you find immediately.
Regards,
Omicron & Chad

Hello everyone,
Spooktober is here, which means that Alora's annual Halloween event is now live! Two spooky ghosts at home can transport you there directly.
As you travel north of Lumbridge, you'll notice that a player has been trapped by what appears to be two spooky goblins wearing bedsheets. If you're feeling brave enough, perhaps you can take a stab at helping the player out.
This year's event unlocks some all new cosmetics (Spooky outfit & Pumpkin lantern) to make your Fashionscape experience even more spooky!
Additionally, an even spookier cosmetic outfit is available for those of you who want their outfit to be slightly more exclusive!
The Spookier costume + Skeleton lantern (worn in weapon slot unlike Pumpkin lantern, which is a shield) can be obtained through two different methods :
1/150 chance of receiving the entire set from Cosmetic mystery boxes
Purchasing for 1,000 tokens through the store
This set will be removed after Halloween, so it might be worthwhile to grab a set to collect!
Get out there and take on the event…
Spooky costume:
Spookier costume:
Happy Halloween!

Hello everyone,
Before we get into it, we're hosting some awesome events later today, make sure to read the full details here!
https://www.alora.io/forums/topic/59242-celebrating-3-years-of-alora-huge-drop-party-and-giveaways/
In just a few hours, it will officially be 3 years since Alora opened its doors to the public! It has been an exciting 3 years since we turned this idea into a reality, with many ups and downs along the way. I can still proudly say today that our community is hands-down the best of any RSPS, past and present. At the end of the day, you guys are the ones who make Alora what it is: the best place to spend your time with friends, to have fun, and to make new friends. Sure, we try our best to make things more enjoyable by keeping up with the latest content updates, and we can't forget our incredible staff team which makes this whole thing run smoothly without a hitch. Ultimately though, we wouldn't be anywhere without the community, so we'd like to thank every single one of you for sticking around with us, whether you just joined a month ago or have been here since November 4th, 2016. No matter the situation, we've always persevered through it and came out stronger because of you guys. It's been a blast having embarked on this journey with you guys 3 years ago, and I'm looking forward to many more great years to come!
Make sure to pick up a Birthday cake from Party Pete ate home to carry around during the celebrations!
Here are a few other changes we've included this update:
Completionist monkey changes:
The Completionist monkey is the highest symbol of accomplishment on Alora, signifying a player's achievement of 4.6b total experience (200m in every singe skill) on top of the requirements for the regular Monkey.
This monkey will be worn by very few (As of today, only 8 players qualify) but will surely not go unnoticed when a player is wearing it.
The 'cape' is similar to the standard monkey, though the monkey is gold-trimmed.
The cost to purchase the cape from Mac in Edgeville is 25M, and 2.5m too reclaim if lost on death.
As of now, the stats on the cape and it's functions (teleport functions) are the same as the regular Monkey. It is mostly intended to be a symbol of accomplishment, without introducing higher bonuses.
Bug fixes:
Fixed the Dragon harpoon weapon interface.
Fixed the Infernal harpoon weapon interface.
Fixed the Crystal harpoon weapon interface.
Fixed the Corrupted harpoon weapon interface.
Fixed the bank booth in Catherby that wasn’t working.
Replaced all the undead druids/sraracha NPC’s in lumbridge swamp with the appropriate frogs.
Replaced the Hard leather body in one of the new clue scroll steps with a regular leather body.
Spooky robes & the Pumpkin lantern can now be reclaimed from the Lost items manager when lost on death.
Skotizo will now only skull/teleblock players if he's in the wilderness.
::wc command will no longer place you in a tree.
Quality of Life:
Rada's blessing will now go to the Reclaimables shop on death, and can be repurchased for 250k gp.
The sand pit in Relleka can now be used to fill buckets with sand.
Vote shop addition:
Everyones favorite boots have been added to the Vote Shop:
Desert boots can now be purchased for 200 vote points.
Vote book changes:
Restricted game modes can now only claim bonus experience from vote books once every 12 hours.
PvP Weapons/Armor changes:
We’ve made many changes to PvP weapons/armor, including the following:
Players can now charge their PvP weapons/armor with pk points by using the items on the Emblem Trader.
Each charge will cost players 2 Pk points.
This unfortunately meant that we had to reset everyones PvP weapons/armor charges to 0.
Players can uncharge their PvP equipment at any time by right clicking on the item and clicking “uncharge”, and will receive a full pk point refund.
If a player dies with a piece of PvP equipment, they will lose that item, and have their charges on it reduce to 0.
The player who pk’d them will receive the item.
PvP items no longer crumble to dust if they reach 0 charges.
Instead, they will provide no bonuses at all, and each time a player attacks with the item, they will receive a warning that they are not getting bonuses from that item.
Once again, thank you guys for being a part of Alora for the past 3 years <3
We hope you all enjoy the events later today!
Best Regards,
Omicron, Chad & The Staff Team

This month I will be interviewing: [member=Draisaitl]
:myman:
[member=code 002]: We all know how I start these off. If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go and why?
[member=draisaitl]: Probably Canada. I’ve never had the chance to play hockey on a frozen pond before and just the amount of hockey history in Canada is crazy (like the hockey hall of fame). I also wouldn’t mind going to Italy.
[member=code 002]: How do you live with being a dirty Loki main?
[member=draisaitl]: Not sure what you’re talking about, Kharyrll and I are undefeated in the Duo Lane with Nox/Loki
[member=code 002]: :ResidentSleeper:
[member=code 002]: What is it that you love the most about hockey?
[member=draisaitl]: Everything. The sport is an art and I don't think anyone who's watched a decent level hockey game can deny that.
[member=code 002]: What's your favorite part about playing?
[member=draisaitl]: The pace. It’s so fast and so intense. When I’m playing it’s like everything else around me is blocked out and I’m just 100% zoned in.
[member=code 002]: Crunchy or creamy peanut butter?
[member=draisaitl]: Creamy I guess. Who actually wants bits of peanuts in a PBJ?
[member=code 002]: What do you feel is the strongest characteristic of yourself? Weakest characteristic?
[member=draisaitl]: I feel like my strongest characteristic would be my persistence to get things done when they need to be. I think my weakest would probably be a lack of confidence (in general). That’s a long story but it’s definitely something I try to work on every day.
[member=code 002]: If you could be reincarnated as any animal in existence what would you choose?
[member=Draisaitl] Idk, a dog maybe. I see how my dog lives and wish I could live life without a care in the world LOL
