[6/4/21] Hotfixes

• NPC information database was broken (some information missing) and has been fixed.
• Fixed a bug where Corporeal beast attack nerf (using special attacks to get corp's attacks to hit zero) would not reset upon death.
  • Corporeal beast can now be accessed again.
• Added a fail-safe to the Maze random event to make sure that players don't get stuck there.

 
Hello everyone,
 
This year's Easter event is finally here! Hop right in by speaking to Gregg in Edgeville, he'll teleport you to Draynor where you can begin the event. This update took a bit longer to put together than most, but we've made sure to pack in a ton of content for you guys. Shooting stars have been completely reworked, allowing you to predict when they'll fall (via telescopes in your PoH), as well as the ability to mine stardust which can be traded for all-new rewards. We've also improved the Chambers of Xeric experience by allowing you to select the size of the dungeon before you enter, with Eternal donators being able to select a specific layout as well. You might also encounter the Maze random event, where you'll earn some free items (including the rare chance at a pair of Ranger boots) simply for completing the maze. Aside from this, many small QoL updates and content has also been added, such as Leather Shield crafting, Ancient Spellbook teleports, new Lunar spells and much more. Have a look for yourself below:

• 2021 Easter Event:
  • This year's Easter event is now live!
    • Head over to Draynor and speak with Gregg to find out how you can participate in this year's event.
    • Gregg has hatched a plan to take the load off of the bunnies' shoulders this year, and he can't do it alone.
    • Those who help Gregg out can be awarded with the highly practical Propeller hit, as well as the festive Eastdoor, which is an event weapon that is held similarly to Dinh's Bulwark.
    • You can teleport to Draynor directly, or speak to the bunny at home to be teleported.

• • Player-owned House Telescope Changes:
    • Players will now be able to use the telescopes in their Study’s to give them an estimate on when the next shooting star will approach.
      • Mahogany Telescope:
        • This will give players an exact estimate of when the next star will appear.
      • Teak Telescope:
        • This will give players an estimate of the approximate number of hours until the next star will appear:
          • This is not minute-accurate, so if the next star appears in 2 hours and 35 minutes, it’ll just say approximately 2 hours.
            • If there’s less an an hour left, the telescope will tell you that, but not how many minutes are left.
      • Oak telescope:
        • This telescope will just provide hints based on how close the shooting star looks.
          • For example, it will tell you that you see a distant star approaching if the shooting star will land in longer than an hour.
      • All of the telescopes will send a unique message if the player looks into the telescope when the star will fall within the next minute.
  • Interface Changes:
    • The drop searcher interface option to view the npc drop table will now show the context option as “View npc table”, rather than “Value” when hovering over the item name.
    • Npc Lookup:
      • The Npc Lookup interface option to view the npc drop table will now show the context option as “View Drops”, rather than “Value” when hovering over the item name.
      • The Npc Lookup interface has been expanded to show the NPC’s defensive bonuses, as well as the magic accuracy, magic level, and defence level.
  • Maze Random Event:
    • All players will now be eligible to receive the Maze random event.
      • This event can only be received when players are in non-instanced area’s outside of the wilderness or any type of Duel/LMS/Castle wars session.
      • When received, a strange old man will appear near you asking for your help, and you must speak to him to to enter the maze event.
        • If you teleport away or logout, the strange old man will simply leave, and you will not be able to participate in the event.
        • Once inside, players will have approximately 2 minutes to complete the maze, while their reward potential drains.
          • Once a player has made it to the centre of the maze, they will receive rewards in a quantity that is based on both their total level, and reward potential.
            • Possible rewards:
              • Blood runes
              • Chaos Runes
              • Nature runes
              • Death runes
              • Coins
              • Crystal key

              • Rune Arrows
              • Coal
              • Adamant ore
            • Players will also have a very rare chance of obtaining ranger boots from completing this event, similar to the crystal chest mechanics.
    • The frequency at which this event occurs is random, but will only appear for players while they are active in-game (that is, it won’t appear to afk players).
  • Shooting Star Changes:
    • The object models for the shooting stars have been updated and changed.
      • The shooting stars will now also have a blue health bar indicating how much health the star has left before it will disappear.
        • Once the bar is emptied, the star will be depleted, and will disappear.
    • The shooting star now provides stardust from mining it.
      • Players will receive 10 stardust each time they mine the star, plus an additional amount based on the player’s donator rank.
        • Super/Regular Donators will receive 1 extra stardust.
        • Legendary/Extreme donators will receive 2 extra stardust.
        • Uber donators will receive 3 extra stardust.
        • Master donators will receive 4 extra stardust.
        • Immortal donators will receive 5 extra stardust.
        • Eternal donators will receive 6 extra stardust.
    • Dusuri’s Stardust Shop:
      • Players can purchase various items from this shop using the stardust obtained:
        • Celestial Ring:
          • This ring provides an invisible +4 mining boost to the player, regardless of the charges.
          • Players can also charge this ring with Stardust (maximum 10,000 charges), and will have a 10% chance to obtain an extra ore when mining.
            • This provides the mining experience as well, however it does not work with pay-dirt.
        • Star Fragment:
          • Players can use these fragments on their Prospector set pieces to create the golden variant of this set.
            • Players can store the full Golden prospector set in their Armour case.
        • Bag full of gems:
          • A bag full of gems, which works similar to the one that can be purchased from the Motherlode mine store.
        • Soft clay packs
  • Ancient Spellbook Teleports:
    • All of the teleports in the ancient spellbook now work properly.
      • The dangerous teleports will prompt the player to confirm they want to teleport to the dangerous location.
      • The spells requires runes unlike the normal spellbook, and therefore provide experience for casting the spell.
  • Wesley Changes:
    • The following noted items can now be crushed by Wesley:

      • Superior dragon bones

      • Based on the damage done to Corporeal Beast using the BGS spec, the stats will be drained in the following order: Defence, Strength, Attack, Prayer, Magic, Ranged
        • This means players can now use the BGS (after reducing att/str/def stats with the arc light) to reduce the mage level of Corporeal beast, properly reducing it’s accuracy.
    • Fixed a bug where players would sometimes get a regular slayer task assigned from Krystillia.

    • Fixed an issue where manually casting a spell with a staff that had a built-in spell (trident) would cause the autocast delay to trigger.
    • Fixed a bug where players would need 3 free slots to harvest berries from a bush (even though only 2 were required).
    • Fixed a bank tag bug where players would not be able to click one of their real bank tabs to switch to it when they were on a Runelite bank tag.
      • They would have to first click on the bank tag again to close it.

      • The plugin will update to the proper points/streak when a player finishes their task and gets a new one.
    • The Blade of Saeldor’s chop animation will now be a slash instead of a stab, and the Lunge animation will now be a stab instead of a slash animation.
  • Trade Interface Changes:
    • Fixed a bug where the “Trade Modified” text on the confirmation screen would appear sometimes even if the trade wasn’t modified.
    • Added a value counter for both players on the first and second trade screens so that players can clearly see the approximate value that’s being traded.
      • This may not be 100% accurate, but it will give a general idea of the value, and will make it clear for players to know how much wealth they are receiving for specific items like platinum tokens, for example.
  • Mage Arena Changes:
    • Players will no longer be able to get higher tier wands if they don’t have the proper wand-wave unlocked.
      • Along with this, players will now automatically upgrade their wand waves when getting wand drops from the battle mages.
        • For example, if your wand wave was 0 (no wands unlocked), you’d only be able to get a beginner wand as a drop from a battle mage. Once you’ve gotten a beginner wand (either as a drop, or purchased from the shop), your wand wave will increase, and you’ll be able to get apprentice wands as drops.
  • Duo Slayer Changes:
    • If a player reaches 10 or more slayer or combat levels higher than their partner, then after the task they will automatically be split.
    • If a player finishes a task while their partner still has kills remaining (they were offline or left the area for a while) then the partners will automatically be split.
      • This is so that partners stay in sync for tasks, so if this happens, the partner who has kills left will either need to finish the task or cancel it and re-partner with the other player.
  • Auto-Equip Ammunition Changes:
    • The Auto-equip ammunition feature will now work for knives/darts or any ammunition a player holds in their weapon slot.
    • The Auto-equip ammunition feature will now work for the blowpipe.
    • The Auto-equip ammunition perk has been locked behind the Kourend & Kebos Hard Diary.
      • It is now shown as one of the perks, and will automatically be toggled on for players once they complete that diary.
  • Lunar Spellbook Changes:
    • Boost Potion Share:
      • The Boost Potion Share spell can now be cast by players with level 84 magic.
        • When cast, the player will be required to choose a potion in their inventory that they want to share with players in a 5x5 area around them (prioritizing the closest players).
          • The spell uses 1 dose for each person around, not including the caster, meaning if you cast the spell with only 1 other person around, 2 players will be able to benefit from 1 dose of a potion.
          • Restrictions:
            • This spell can only be used on players with accept aid on.
            • This spell cannot be cast on players in a duel/clan war with potions disable.
            • This spell cannot be used on any of the following potions:

              • Divine potions of any kind
              • Guthix Rest
              • Super Energy, Energy, or Stamina potions
              • Any untradeable potion
              • Overload potions
              • Xeric’s Aid’s
    • Stat Restore Pot Share:
      • The Stat Restore Pot Share spell can now be cast by players with level 81 magic.
        • When cast, the player will be required to choose a potion in their inventory that they want to share with players in a 5x5 area around them (prioritizing the closest players).
          • The spell uses 1 dose for each person around, not including the caster, meaning if you cast the spell with only 1 other person around, 2 players will be able to benefit from 1 dose of a potion.
          • Restrictions:
            • This spell can only be used on players with accept aid on.
            • This spell cannot be cast on players in a duel/clan war with potions disable.
            • This spell can only be used on restorative potions (super restore, prayer potion, energy potion, etc…).
  • Chambers of Xeric Layout Selection:
    • Players can now right click on the chambers of xeric entrance to select the type of layouts they want to have in the raid.
      • There are 3 layout options to select from:
        • Normal/Mixed:
          • These are the same layouts as before, it’ll just pick a random one to give.
        • Large layouts only:
          • Selecting this will only create a raid with a large layout.
            • Large layouts have 5 combat rooms and 3 puzzle rooms.
        • Small/Medium Layouts only:
          • Selecting this will filter out large layouts.
      • Eternal donators will also see an option to select their own layout.
        • There are 26 unique raids layouts to choose from, which will be shown in an interface that the player can use to select their preferred layout.\
  • Last man standing changes:
    • Players will now have their special attack restored upon killing another player.
    • Players who die in the non-survival mode LMS version will now only drop non-default loot.
      • This means the only items that are dropped will be ones that are looted from chests with a bloody/bloodier key.
    • When a player kills another player, instead of receiving a set amount of sharks and karambwan, they’ll now get the initial potions and food they put into their loadout, if they have the space for it.

 
 
As always, please report any bugs that you find as soon as possible :)

Alan's feedback

1. jar of spirit/smoke still missing from collection log

2. monster drop rates are bugged

Kraken pet 1/625?  I wish!

 

3. stars disappear way too fast!  I believe OSRS considers the # of people mining when calculating the star duration.  

4. can you get maze random events while splashing?  there seems to be some bugs with the maze random event.  @ Real Denmark got stuck and had to relog.

5. crushing noted items? wohoo!  finally!

6. dark flippers look great!

7. mahogany telescope functionality is awesome, but at under 1 min the telescope should give you a location hint!  "A bright flash quickly approaching!" isn't really useful

8. the champion's guild bush teleport on farmer's blessing is great for the clue step

9. thanks for fixing the trailblazer infernal axe-falo the bard step!  can we get trailblazer gear storage in poh?

10. there is a master clue challenge step to mine rune ore with full prospector on.  Will it work with partial golden prospector?

I'm not going to touch on all the points, just a few, but the feedback is appreciated.

 

3. The stars still work as they always have, and the time wasn't changed. We didn't adopt OSRS's star system, we just updated our models, added the health bar, and added stardust(10-20x the amount you get from OSRS, since our stars last a shorter amount of time).

4. No, you need to be actively playing for a chance to get the maze random, so any afk players who aren't doing anything won't get. Any bug involving the maze should be reported in the bug report section.

7. We don't want to give the exact time down to the second for when the star is approaching, but if you see this notification, it should hopefully be rather obvious that a shooting star is about to land shortly.

10. Yes, the golden prospector outfit will work for completing this Sherlock step.
