Along with this, we’ve now added the ability for players to craft Cannonballs if they can amass 15,000 Slayer points for the mould! We’ve also listened to your suggestions for Raids and have tried our best to make the formula as fair and accurate as possible.
- Forum Loyalty program updated:
- To account for the previous top record of 2,500 posts being broken (Congratulations @

- 5,000 posts reward:
- The never seen before, all new Rainbow Scarf!
- Wily Hellcat

- NPC Pathfinding fixed:
- Some NPCs were walking oddly (eg. Through pillar in the Inferno) since the last update. This has been patched.
- Magic fix:
- When freezing a target (eg. Using Ice barrage), they would unfreeze if you were 11 steps away or further. This has been increased to 14 steps away before unfreeze.
- Abyssal tentacle whip now has a chance to poison your enemy for 4 damage.
- The special attack yields an even higher chance of poisoning your opponent.
- Cannonball smithing is now available:
- To create cannonballs, simply have an ammo mould in your inventory and use Steel bars on a furnace!
- Ammo mould (tradable) can be purchased from the Slayer reward shop for 15,000 points.

- Raid points major changes:
- Inactive players’ (logged out or left raid) points will be removed from the team total.
- A major overhaul to the way Raids points affect your loot rate has been implemented:
- It is now based on 3 factors:
- Your points
- Your points relative to the average # of points for your team this run
- Your points relative to the average # of points that are historically obtained based on your team size
- In this way, we are ensuring that players who do better than the rest of the team are suitably rewarded, but also that players who do better than average historically are rewarded.
- It is now based on 3 factors:
- Battle Royale changes:
- Southern waiting area is now a safe-zone (not used as a waiting area typically, but staff sometimes teleport players into there)
- Administrators can now set a custom countdown timer for how long players will spend in the waiting room.
- Ring of life/Defence cape will no longer teleport you out of here (or any other tele blocked area)
- You can now watch Battle Royale even if you are not participating! (Or have died)
- Type ::watchbr to view the battle area.
- You must be able to teleport, not already in the battle, and not in combat to be able to watch.
- You can use the orb interface to move around the map.
- You must be able to teleport, not already in the battle, and not in combat to be able to watch.
