Hello everyone, It has been a while since we last posted one of these development blogs, so now felt like the right time to post one to get all of you up to speed with what we have been working on recently, which will hopefully build some excitement.  Without further ado, lets dive right in.   MASTERING MIXOLOGY Overview: First of all, we have Mastering Mixology. A herblore minigame that revolves around assisting the Alchemical Society in filling out orders of potions, which have skyrocketed after Varlamore opened its borders to the mainland.   Gameplay:  To keep it short, Mastering Mixology involves refining herbs into their basic elements and using the resulting pastes to brew potions based on the order given.   Rewards: Supervisor Lalo runs the store Mixology Rewards where players can spend your resin earned by playing the minigame.   Potion packs - A potion pack that grants four sets of potions with varying quantities and doses. Prescription goggles - Grants a 10% chance to save a secondary ingredient when mixing potions. Alchemist's outfit - A cosmetic outfit.  Reagent pouch - Stores up to 26 of each secondary ingredient used in herblore. Potion storage - Unlocks a new part of the bank where potions can be stored without taking up slots from the main bank interface. Chugging barrel - Allows simultaneous consumption of up to five different potions when within a bank. Alchemist's amulet - Increases the chance of making a 4-dose potion from 5% to 15%.   Media:  Please note that this content is in development stages.   ____________________________________________________________________________________   MOONS OF PERIL Overview: Next up, we have Moons of Peril. The Moons of Peril are three nagua imprisoned in Neypotzli, a prison located beneath Cam Torum. This is a new mid level pvm activity that is a step up in difficulity from content such as Barrows. This content can be approached solo, or with a team. Although nothing is stopping you from bringing supplies and racing to the bosses right away, its worth your time to explore the surroundings. Every room contains both combat and skilling opportunities, allowing you to accumulate food and potions and ready yourself for the difficult fights.   Gameplay:  The player's trip into Neypotzli begins in the antechamber, expanding outwards along three accessible entrances. Each of these - the Streambound Cavern, Earthbound Cavern, and the Ancient Prison - have different resources where players can create food and potions that are more powerful than even the best found outside.   Once the player is ready, they can proceed to face the Moons of Peril; the three bosses share a unique mechanic where their basic attack will hit three times, each dealing more damage than the last; however, if one hit misses, the remainder will as well. This means having good defence bonuses will result in less damage taken overall.   While they can be fought by multiple players simultaneously, the boss' health is tied to individual players, meaning each player will effectively have to deal all damage on their own.   Rewards: Blood moon armour - a set of melee equipment with the Bloodrager set effect. Blue moon armour - a set of magic equipment with the Frostweaver set effect. Eclipse moon armour - a set of ranged equipment with the Eclipse set effect.   Media:  Please note that this content is in development stages.   ____________________________________________________________________________________   MOBILE UI REWORK Overview: And last, but not least, we have a few mobile changes heading your way. This update will make playing on your handheld device an even better experience, with a refreshing new UI, and a few more amazing plugins for you to enjoy, such as Menu Entry Swapper and Ground Markers to name a few.    Media: Please note that this content is in development stages.   We hope you enjoyed a small sneak peak into what we will be releasing over the next few updates.    Wishing you a great week, Alora Staff Team

As a League player, gambling a Fire cape for a Jad pet will now complete your Boss Pet task (if you receive the pet). "Craft a Leather body" League task should now work as expected. Smith’ers examine fixed. All the best, Omicron & The Alora Staff Team

  Hello everyone,   Today’s update is short and sweet to release the birthday event to commemorate our 8th year of uptime! Today marks an incredible milestone for our community, and we simply could not have be here without every single one of you. What started as a passion project has grown into an extraordinary community that truly feels like a family and a second home for many of us. Whether you’ve just joined a month ago or have been with us for the entire ride, thank you for your support and being a part of this adventure — here’s to many more years of Alora!  <3    The drop party begins in less than two hours, so please do not miss it! There are plenty of items for you to have a chance at, so head over to ::event around 3pm EST. Birthday Event: Head to ;;event and grab a slice of cake to celebrate Alora’s 8th birthday with other players! A birthday is incomplete without some goodies, so don’t forget to grab your rewards from the table: Cake hat Oldschool jumper This jumper has a partyhat on the back of it, and you can change the color of the party hat by right-clicking the jumper and selecting "Change-style".     Veteran Reward: For our players who have been around with us for the long haul, we’ve added the 5-year Veteran item: the Lava cape. This unique cape can only be purchased from Hans by players whose registration date is at least 5 years ago, and for a purchase price of 25m GP.     Smithing pet: Smith’ers is here! When it comes to Skilling pets, the Smithing skill has long been neglected — but no more. Made of nothing but pure metal and wood, Smith’ers can be obtained during any smithing action, as well as the following activities: Fixing struts in Motherlode mine Creating items via Singing bowl Smithing bars in Blast Furnace Using the Superheat spell The rate is similar to the House pet from Construction (but a bit easier), and using a Golden hammer (or even having one in the bank) will increase your chance of obtaining it by 25%.       Leagues Slayer Shop: League players now have access to a limited slayer shop with discounted prices. Players must have the Morytania region unlocked to purchase the Salve amulet (e). Mobile fixes: Mobile stability has been improved, fixing multiple bugs that were causing crashes previously. We wanted to ensure that this would not be an issue for the upcoming Annivesrary drop party. For example, crashing in the following two areas: Pumpkin patch field would always cause a crash if you zoomed out far enough. During events when there are many monsters and bosses at ::events, your game would freeze or crash.  Bug Fixes: Fixed a bug with the bank tags plugin not allowing players to drag items into the bank tags. Fixed a bug where the "Defeat a superior foe" league task would only complete after defeating 2 superiors. Verac the defiled's damage will now be reduced by 35% if the player is protecting from melee. Fixed a bug where the Araxxor pet drop rate was too low. Mining/woodcutting/Cooking will no longer close the leagues task interface. Fixed a bug where the scroll arrows on the leagues task interface wouldn’t work properly. League: Weapon Specialist perk fixes: Will no longer drain more than 20% when using Keris Partisan of Sun special attack. Special attacks that use up 100% of Special energy now use up 20% as intended. (Dragon pickaxe, Crystal harpoon, Staff of the dead, Dragon battleaxe) Noxious halberd special attack will now use 20% instead of 50%. The liquid adrenaline special attack reduction will now also apply to weapon specialist if by reducing the minimum threshold of 20% to 10%. Fixed a bug where the "Can be clicked through" chatbox option would also click through the scrollbar. The rainbow color effect will now apply when players are performing all animations.   Enjoy the festivities!   Regards, Omicron
