  Hello everyone,   Happy Easter!   Today’s update is a bit smaller than usual as we are still testing some upcoming content to make sure it is bug-free, but wanted to get an update out so you can grab those Easter items (they can be obtained by speaking to the Easter Bunny at home), and also to add in a bit of fresh content that we have tested more thoroughly. Mainly, we have overhauled the Collection Log with many updates including a fresher UI and the ability to resize/drag the interface around, an overview page with your latest collections, a ranking system with rewards, and the search function! We are sure that you will appreciate this update while you are PvMing.   We’ve also turned on our Easter Sale for the next few days with 25% bonus tokens and some discounted items, as well as the return of the Easter Box to the shop which gives you any one of these random items/sets: Fully bunny suit (comes together) Full chicken suit (comes together) Easter basket Easter ring This update also extended Leagues’ end date to the 25th (as mentioned in a previous announcement), so just know that you have about five more days until the League ends, at which point the League Reward Shop will be updated with the latest items, and your points/tokens/donator ranks will all be transferred as your Leagues accounts are locked. Collection Log Changes: Collection Log Update: The collection log interface can now be dragged around and resized. To drag it, simply click and hold on the “Collection log” title and drag it around. For resizing, there is a button on the bottom right of the interface that players can use to resize it, similar to the world map. Some entries now have the option to take players to the combat achievement boss interface by clicking on the book in the top right of the entry. Clicking on the collection log option from the combat achievements boss interface will now also take players to the correct boss entry in the collection log. A menu option has been added in the top left to swap between the overview interface and the collection log interface. Many entries now track multiple statistics. Dagannoth kings: Instead of tracking the total kills on all 3 kings, it will track each king individually. The wilderness bosses (vet’ion, venenatis, callisto, and their singles variants) will now be tracked individually. The Gauntlet now tracks corrupted/normal gauntlet completions individually. The Nightmare now tracks Phosani/regular nightmare kill counts individually. Tempoross now shows kills and reward permits claimed. Wintertodt now shows kills and crate rolls (crate rolls starting at 0 as of this update). Tombs of Amascut, Chambers of Xeric, and Theatre of Blood now show all raid type completions (hard mode, entry mode, etc…). Giant’s Foundry now shows sword completions. Guardians of the rift now shows rifts closed and rift searches. Mixology now tracks orders fulfilled (starting at 0 as of this update). Glough’s experiments now show tortured/demonic gorilla kills. Revenants now show total revenants killed (including maledictus). Tormented demons now show tormented demons killed. Hunter Guild now shows rumours completed. Search: Players can now search items/bosses in the collection log. Players can also click on any of the results tabs to go to that entry. This functionality works for viewing other player’s collection logs as well. The collection log interface can now be kept open while doing various activities (similar to the world map). Collection Log Overview: Players can now right-click the collection log button to view an overview of it. This will break down the unique items collected by group (bosses/raids/clues/minigames/other), and show the user the progress in each group. It will also show players their most recent collectibles found, which can be clicked to see how many days ago they were obtained. This new overview has a ranking system, which will provide cosmetic rewards for dedicated collectors. 50 unique collection logs: Bronze staff of collection Bronze collection log 100 unique collection logs: Iron staff of collection Iron collection log 200 unique collection logs: Steel staff of collection Steel collection log 400 unique collection logs: Black staff of collection Black collection log 600 unique collection logs: Mithril staff of collection Mithril collection log 800 unique collection logs: Adamant staff of collection Adamant collection log 900 unique collection logs: Rune staff of collection Rune collection log 1000 unique collection logs: Dragon staff of collection Dragon collection log The final Gilded tier (currently at 1100 unique logs) will always require 90% of the collection log to be completed, rounded to the nearest 25. So while it is 1100 right now, it will continue to increase over time, and players who were able to equip the rewards before will not be able to do so if they don’t maintain the tier in the future. Gilded staff of collection Gilded collection log To claim the rewards, players can speak to the collector in Edgeville. Leagues mega-rare pity drops: We’re introducing pity-rates for all 3 raids, which will give players who have gone dry on leagues a guaranteed mega-rare voucher after a certain amount of completions. Chambers of Xeric: Players who complete 200+ chambers of xeric will automatically be given a mega-rare voucher if they have not yet obtained the mega-rare voucher from chambers of xeric. Theatre of Blood: Players who complete 150+ combined Theatre of blood/Theatre of blood (hard mode) runs will automatically be given the mega-rare voucher. Tombs of Amascut: Players who complete 200+ combined tombs of amascut runs at a 150+ invocation level (entry mode runs will not be counted) will automatically receive a mega-rare voucher. To keep this fair for the other players in the party, the mega-rare will only be received if the player was the chosen player to receive the purple that run. So this may take a few tries for players doing Tombs of Amascut in teams, but will be right away for solo raiders. The pity system only works once per raid type, so theoretically players can get the pity drop from all 3 raids, but only once for each raid type. Instanced Loot Changes: All drops received from mobs in instances, such as minigames, raids, boss instances, etc… will now stay on the ground for 1 hour. Mob drops from the Chambers of Xeric/Gauntlet will now last on the ground for 60 minutes, rather than 57. Revenant Drop Changes: Revenants now drop the Ancient Relic, Ancient Medallion, and Ancient Effigy. The Ancient Medallion can be traded in to the emblem trader for 8 million gp. The Ancient Effigy can be traded in to the emblem trader for 12 million gp. The Ancient Relic can be traded in to the emblem trader for 20 million gp. Each relic has the same chance to drop from a given revenant, and the higher level revenants will have a much higher chance to drop these emblems. Being skulled will also significantly increase the drop rate for these emblems. Void Knight Mace: Players can now purchase the void knight mace from the pest exchange for 50 points. This staff allows players to auto-cast claws of guthix and crumble undead. It requires 42 in all combat stats, and 22 prayer to equip. It has also been added as a slot in the pest control collection log. Players who lose the item can re-purchase it from the reclaimables shop for 100k. Duke Sucellus Changes: The tile behind the pillars will now force duke to use his melee attack rather than the range attack. Players will now take chip damage from behind this tile as well when the melee attack is triggered. The tile behind the pillars no longer has line-of-sight to duke. This means players using longer ranged weapons will be dragged in front of him. Quality of Life: Added/corrected sounds for various weapons. Abyssal demons now use the correct attack/defend/death sounds. The Player indicators plugin now has extra settings to specify if a player should only be highlighted in the Wilderness/other PvP areas. The tooth half of key (moon chest) can now be obtained from various npc's in the Ruins of Tapoyauik. Added a Guardians of the rift teleport command, using the command "::gotr". Players can now store the dragon felling axe in the enchanted valley stash unit. Players can now use the “wt” and “wintertodt” commands to teleport to wintertodt. Ice giants can now be obtained as hard slayer task from Nieve. Players can now purchase dragon arrows from the pk point exchange at a rate of 50 arrows per 100 pk points. The amount of atlatl darts that drop from the moons of peril has now been doubled. Sulphur nagua's now drop 30-45 atlatl drops as an uncommon drop. Ironmen can now purchase the ancient mace from the Pk point exchange, similar to how realism/normal players can. Players can now use the brimhaven entrance/exit shortcut in the Karamja jungle. The tile indicators plugin now has configurations to show the drawn tiles as corners only, and an option to fade out the true tile after the player stops moving for a certain period of time. Bug Fixes: Fixed a bug where the log basket would constantly notify players their log basket was full when chopping logs. Fixed a bug where mystic air staffs would be announced in yell (for real this time). Fixed a bug where the smithing amount options wouldn't appear the first time the interface was opened. Fixed a bug where opening the jewelry smithing interface would cause searching in the world map to break. The uncharged toxic staff of the dead can now auto-cast flames of zamorak. The whisperer's step queue will be reset when she is frozen. All mobs in Tombs of Amascut except the Baboon shaman are now immune to poison and venom. Fixed a bug where the "8" key would open the music tab if the player had damage drops enabled. Fixed a bug where the "Lay" option on bird snares/Box traps would pickup the item if the player was not standing on the tile the item was on. Fixed a bug with some mountain trolls having buggy animations. Olm is now fully immune to poison and venom. Fixed a bug where the dragon hasta would repeatedly state "You don't have enough power left" after using the special attack. The scythe of vitur attack/Dinh's bulwark and Sunlight spear special attacks will no longer be able to damage the inferno pillars/glyph. Undying retribution will now longer damage the inferno pillars/glyph. The Tirannwn leagues task to create an eternal teleport crystal has been changed to require the player to simply use one. Fixed a bug where equipping any item would remove the web effect from Sarachnis (this will now only work with transformation items). Fixed a bug where players could sometimes not spawn the guardian in the guardians of the rift minigame. Basilisk knights will no longer use the basilisk sentinel special attack. The angler outfit now provides bonus experience from Aerial fishing. Fixed a bug where the leaf-bladed spear did not need 55 slayer to equip. Fixed a bug where some league tasks to equip items were not completing. Fixed a bug where nature's reprisal could not reach the Leviathan when using melee style. Fixed a bug where some shops that were supposed to show infinite stock would sometimes show 0 stock. Fixed a bug where the "Get last tier difficulty" mahogany homes contract would always give expert contracts. Rejuvenation pools will no longer reduce over-healed prayer levels. Araxxor will no longer use any special attacks when enraged. Araxxor will now spawn 5 ticks later when entering the instance. Araxxor's cleave attack will now lock in the player's location 1 tick earlier. Fixed a bug where the superior sorcerer relic was saving too many runes. Leaving Molch island by boat will no longer allow players to smuggle the cormorant off the island. Fixed a bug with the task to mine 100 runite ore in Tirannwn not working properly. Fixed a bug where Teleport tablets would take league players to edgeville sometimes. Fixed a bug with TOB floors when using low-detail. Fixed a bug with the "Gwenith" clue compass teleport taking players to the wrong "Gwenith" that had no spawns. Fixed a bug where the max hit dummy could be envenomed. The superheat game messages will now be classified as spam, allowing them to be filtered. Fixed a bug where the parachute default pant model would make the player's legs invisible on 2010 mode. Fixed a bug with the phase 2 warden fight breaking in some instances. Eternal donators can once again select the amount of boss kills they want when obtaining a wilderness boss task. We hope you enjoy this update!   Regards, Omicron
