Hello everyone, 
 
Happy Halloween! Alora's 2026 Halloween event is now live, and we've got some spooky new items for you to wear in costume for the season. We know we're a bit late, OSRS's event released late this year but we figured it's better late than never for us to release it! We've also added an unreleased event item from 2014's Halloween event (Grim reaper hood) to make up for it.
 
In addition to this, we've been overhauling the mobile client with some very useful back-end changes to make performance smoother, especially on Androids. This was in preparation for something even more exciting: 117HD on mobile. This makes our client even more unique, containing features such as Portrait mode, Dark mode, many RuneLite plugins and now 117HD with the latest features, including day/night cycles!

• Halloween Event:
  • The 2026 Halloween event is now live, players can start it by speaking to Angel or Henja in Rimmington.
    • Henja will be walking around Edgeville ready to transport players to Rimmington to start the event.
  • This event rewards 2 cosmetic outfits.
    • The Grim reaper hood (an unreleased 2014 halloween event reward).
    • The Vampyre costume
    • Both items are storable in the POH 
• Mobile Overhaul:
  • Performance:
    • Performance has been drastically improved. This means you should see higher FPS, less phone heat generated, and less memory usage (meaning on older devices you are less prone to crashing).
      • In particular, the client should feel smoother when opening or navigating on interfaces, as this would feel choppy and cause the entire game to hitch, particularly on Android devices.
    • Much smaller download: The web client is now about 40% smaller (12 MB down to 7 MB), so it starts faster and uses less memory.
    • Better FPS cap: When you set a frame rate cap, frames now come at an even pace instead of stuttering.   
    • Faster on iPhone: A big source of slowdown in Safari has been removed, so iPhones should feel noticeably snappier.                                                    
    • Smoother camera on phones: Turning and zooming the camera in quiet areas costs much less, so it stays fluid and saves battery.
    • Much faster loading.:The way the game stores its files on your device has been completely redone. On iPhone, a fresh install now reaches the login screen in about 13 seconds, and future launches take about 4 seconds.
    • Power Saving Mode has had some new additions to reduce client memory / CPU usage even further -- this is especially useful for older phones that may have trouble running the client, or even newer phones that need a bit of help running 117 HD.
  • Bugs:
    • "Remember me" button clicked after you already clicked login will now still save your details.
    • Cleaner login: The old in-game login screen and loading bars no longer show before the welcome screen.
    • Cleaner logout: You no longer see a frozen frame of your last session after logging out & back in.
    • Taps register reliably: Fixed taps that were sometimes ignored, especially on Android.
    • Sailing camera: the camera no longer jumps up when you walk around on a boat's deck.
    • No more UI flicker when you cross into a new area. (It would disappear for a split second)
    • Animated textures like fountains and the fire cape now move smoothly in quieter areas where they would sometimes be choppy.
• 117HD on Mobile:
  • As many of you are already familiar with this plugin on RuneLite Desktop, we will keep the details short -- 117HD is a full graphics overhaul for the mobile client, giving you modern lighting, shadows, textures and atmosphere. You can turn it on from the plugin sidebar (it is the first listed plugin in green text at the top).
    • You will find real dynamic lighting for things like spells, fire sources, etc -- as well as environmental lighting, so caves actually feel dark.
    • Shadows are drawn in real-time from players, NPCs and scenery.
    • The newly released Day & Night cycles are also available on mobile, meaning you can see the sun rise & set, along with being able to stargaze at night when the moon is in the sky.
• Al Kharid Rooftop Course:
  • Players can now use the Al-kharid rooftop agility course, given that they have level 20 agility or higher.
• Declan's Clothing Shop (Wyrmscraig):
  • Added Declan's clothing shop, "Where Wyrmscraig's Wear Wares Were", in Auchrie on Wyrmscraig. It stocks all 60 noble and villager clothing pieces in every colour, plus Wyrmscraig shoes and boots.
  • The shop is ironman accessible, with per-player stock that restocks over time, and buys back Wyrmscraig clothing.  
• Quality of Life:
  • The random portion of the Skill of the Day at the end of every month will no longer select combat-related skills (Attack, Strength, Defense, Prayer, Hitpoints, Ranged, Magic).
• Fixes/Changes:
  • Players must now have all the skill required for the Blood Moon rises quest (and it's pre-requisites) to equip the sunspear and hallowed flail.
    • Players can still use the “bloom” effect on the hallowed flail from their inventory.
  • Players can now use searing pages on their tome of fire to unlock unlimited charges:
    • This will refund them burning pages if they’ve already unlocked unlimited normal charges.
  • Fixed a bug where clicking on a skilling resource (eg. Trees, rocks, fishing spots) while already harvesting would cause you to cancel your animation, despite still harvesting that resource.
  • Players can now cook/eat Yellowfin fish.
    • These heal 19 hitpoints and restore 20% run energy.
  • The Elder Venator Fang will now be announced in Yell.
  • Fixed a bug where the spacing for some icons (staff crown) was incorrect.
  • Fixed a bug where players could no lookup some items on the trading post search interface.
  • Fixed a visual clipping issue with pegasian/primordial/eternal boots on 2010 mode.
  • Players can now use headless seeking arrows on regular arrows to make the seeking variant.
    • This will make 150 arrows at a time.
  • Fixed a bug where setting a defensive autocast spell would also highlight the “bash” and “pound” options.
  • Players can now store the Hallowed flail in the Catherby range stash unit in place of the silver sickle [b].
  • Fixed a bug where players would get a random “you cannot lure this npc to your location” message while luring goats with telekinetic grab.
  • Merchant’s paint has also been removed from the collection log.
  • Fixed a bug where players in the home area would sometimes get loot notifications from their clan mates drops at Maggot king.
  • The Slayer ring now has an option to teleport to Wyrmscraig if the player has docked their boat there.
  • Wyrmscraig goats now respawn a lot faster.
  • Players must now speak to the Mysterious stranger outside of TOB to claim the Shinhaza shrouds.
  • Adjusted the hunting knife idle animation.
  • Fixed a bug where Yama would not follow players closely during certain phases.
  • The “Masters” slayer ring option while the ring is equipped can now take players to Mortimer, assuming they’ve docked their boat at Wyrmscraig.
  • Fixed a bug where the “Ignore dead NPC’s” menu entry swapper config would hide the “pull back” option at bloodwood trees.
  • Taking a task repeat from Mortimer will now also give the player the same mortifier.
  • The Sunspear’s attack level requirement has been reduced from 75->50 (Attack level requirement for Sins of the father).

 

 

We hope you enjoy this update!
