Hello everyone,

 

Make sure you update your client launcher before playing! (alora.jar) Read here for more details:

https://www.alora.io...-your-launcher/

 

Today’s updates have some heavy focus on the client which hasn’t received any big updates in awhile, where we’ve added some QOL features such as the bank value overlay and the ground item overlay, which should both hopefully improve your gameplay. We’ve also applied some fixes to Daily tasks, as well as added a new “streak” system and the Seed box as a new reward. There are also plenty of other cool updates included today which you’ll see below!

 

In other news, as some of you may already know, OSRS’s planned release date for Raids 2 is quickly approaching, and we’re just as excited as you are! As with the first Raids release, we’re planning to be the first RSPS to release Raids 2, so we’re going to be grinding day and night to make sure you don’t have to wait too long to jump into the action. Keep an eye out for more information on this!

 

Note: Some of these updates may have already been added earlier this week in a silent update, but many are newly available as of today!

 

 

• Daily task changes:
  • Weekend bonuses:
    • Event managers can now enable bonus Daily Task points on the weekends! This will give you up to 2x as many points for completing Daily task.
  • Daily task streaks: (Thanks to @fiji water for the suggestion!)
    • Every day you fully complete your daily tasks will now count towards your streak! You have to complete every day’s set of 3 tasks to keep your streak going, otherwise it’ll reset back to 0 if you miss a day.
    • By completing all 3 tasks every day and building your streak, you can earn streak bonus points (only when fully completing the tasks of that day):
      • First day ~ 0 bonus points (starting the streak)
      • Second day ~ 2 bonus points
      • Third day ~ 4 bonus points
      • Fourth day ~ 6 bonus points
      • Fifth day ~ 8 bonus points
      • Sixth day ~ 11 bonus points
      • Seventh day ~ 15 bonus points
      • ALL days after 7 days (no limit): 15 bonus points
  • Bug fixes:
    • Fixed Coal bag reward:
      • The Coal bag in the shop was the wrong item and did not function as a coal bag. Anyone who purchased this item will automatically have a properly working Coal bag as of this update.
    • Fixed the following tasks:
      • Fish 250 Manta ray
      • Cook 250 Manta ray
      • Cook 100 Monkfish
      • Defeat TzTok-Jad
      • Defeat TzKal-Zuk
      • Complete 1 (or 3) Wilderness Slayer tasks
        • Was completing the task after 1 or 3 kills, not 1 or 3 tasks.
      • Complete 6 Raids
        • This one was working, but only required 5 Raids. We’ve decided to leave it at 5 Raids as this is difficult enough, and have renamed the description to avoid confusion.
  • Shop changes:
    • Seed box added for 350 points.
    • Arclight reduced from 600 to 500 points.
    • Mask of balance reduced from 500 to 250 points.
• Seed box:
  • The seed box is now available to store your seeds in! This can currently be obtained through the Daily task reward shop, as well as through the donation store.
    • It can store up to 6 different types of seeds, and is able to carry up to 2,147,483,647 of each seed.
    • If lost on death, it can be reclaimed from the Lost items manager for 250,000 GP. Please note that as wth the looting back/herb sack/etc, if you destroy this item, you will lose the seeds inside. Additionally, banking the seed box will bank the seeds themselves as well.
• Red Dungeon Cavern : Brimhaven Dungeon:
  • A new cavern with a total of 6 Red dragons (and 7 Baby red dragons) is now accessible within the Brimhaven dungeon!
    • The entrance is located in the Steel/Iron Dragons area in the Southern part of the dungeon, with the Red dragon entrance being on the west side of this area.
    • You must have an Agility level of 33 to go through the entrance.
• PvP/Combat/Wilderness updates:
  • Combat fixes:
    • When attacking another player with Magic, you can now freeze them from a slightly further distance (1 extra step) to avoid your target easily escaping a fight.
  • The Chaos Altar (level 38 wilderness):
    • The altar in this temple will now be highly useful to players due to the following perks:
      • 1. It will provide the same bonus experience as a Gilded altar (POH) with two incense burners lit (the maximum experience in-game)
      • 2. There is a 50% chance of the Altar not consuming the bones that are sacrificed to it. This means that, in the long run, you’ll only need to use half the bones that you normally would to level up.
      • 3. The Elder Chaos druid immediately outside the temple can unnote your bones (and only bones!) for 200 GP each.
  • Prayer drain fixes:
    • General:
      • Overall, prayer was draining significantly slower than they should have been. The drain rate is now more accurate to OSRS for every single prayer.
  • PKP Exchange changes:
    • The PKP shop prices were too low following a recent update and introduced too many items into the economy, so the prices in the shop have been increased by 25%.
• Slayer updates:
  • Slayer reward changes:
    • Ammo mould has been reduced in price from 15,000 Slayer points to 7,500 Slayer points.
  • Superior Slayer Encounter drops:
    • Some of the Superior Encounters were dropping bars (sometimes up to 15) that were un-noted. These should all drop noted now if they are noted on OSRS. Affected monsters include:
      • Marble gargoyle
      • Night beast
• Clan chat QOL: (Thanks to @Dutchie for the suggestion)
  • Clan chat members are now organized by their ranks (as in OSRS)! This will make it easer to see the top ranked, as well as the owner, in the clan chat list as they be sorted from greatest rank to lowest rank, top to bottom.
• Raids changes:
  • Tekton’s defence (melee, range and mage) have been nerfed by 40% in Solo raids.
    • This change was requested as it is quite difficult to defeat Tekton as a solo raider. Tekton’s defence in teams larger than 1 player has not been changed at all.
• Boss drop table patch: (Thanks to @Lowkey for collecting data!)
  • As many players know, Alora’s drop system has had a major inconsistency since day one: Bosses are supposed to have a guaranteed number of drops, and we haven’t been delivering on that feature. 
    • To correct this, we’ve matched OSRS’s number of drops per boss and updated it, guaranteeing your loot on boss kills. No more killing the Corporeal beast for zero loot! Here are the affected NPCs:
      • Zulrah
      • Kalphite queen
      • Vorkath
        • 2 guaranteed drops
      • Giant mole
      • Kraken
      • General Graardor
      • Commander Zilyana
      • K’ril Tsutsaroth
      • Kree’arra
      • Corporeal beast
      • Lizardman shaman
      • Cerberus
      • King black dragon
      • Chaos elemental
      • Chaos fanatic
      • Crazy archaeologist
      • Vet’ion
      • Venenatis
      • Callisto
        • 1 guaranteed drop
• Miscellaneous:
  • Crazy archaeologist and Chaos fanatic are now counted as “boss” kills, and will appear on the Boss killcount records.
  • Toy cat is no longer tradable (loyalty system reward)
  • Corporeal beast fix:
    • Corp could previously hit players in the safe zone (immediately outside of his lair) if someone lures him very close to the entrance. This should no longer occur.
  • Quest tab update:
    • Barrows points will now show up in your quest tab next to your other point totals.
  • Clue scroll guide link:
    • ::clue/::clues/::clueguide now redirects you to the Clue scroll guide made by @F 8 (https://www.alora.io/forums/topic/2751-clue-scroll-guide/)

 

 

 

• Client updates:
  • Rank icons in Private messages:
    • Previously, when someone PMed you, the only icons that would appear were Moderators and Administrators. After this update, you’ll be able to see icons for all of the following ranks:
      • Ironmen:
        • Regular, elite, hardcore, ultimate
      • Classic players
      • Server support
    • We’ve chosen to leave out donator icons at the moment, simply because it isn’t necessary to display them over PM (whereas it can be useful to know that the person you are speaking with is Server support, or even an Ironman)
  • Item names overlay:
    • You can now choose to have item names displayed over ground items!
      • This setting is completely optional, and you can find the toggle for it in the settings tab. It is turned off by default.
      • It will show items that have a High alchemy value of more than 50,000 GP in a special colour.
  • Bank tab value overlay:
    • A new toggle has been added to show the value of your bank tabs!
      • Notes:
        • If on the main tab, the entire value of your bank will be presented.
          • If on any other tab, only the value of that tab will be presented.
      • Untradable items do not add to the total value of any tab.
      • The value used will be the highest of the exchange price or the high alch price.
      • IMPORTANT: Please note that this is often not the exact market value, but a rough estimate based on previous trading post prices.
    • You can toggle this setting in the settings tab.
  • Enemy health box update:
    • When attacking an NPC or player then running away (or eating), their HP box disappears. From this update forward, their HP box will stick around for 5 seconds before disappearing, as long as they are still online/alive. This means you can eat or switch weapons without worrying about the box disappearing.
  • Bug fixes:
    • Fixed an issue with some users (on 32-bit Windows OS) not being able to enter HD after downloading the client (or re-installing it). It will now work properly, but if you were previously affected please delete the entire (C:/aloracache/) folder and re-launch the alora.jar client.(Thanks to @Jare for pointing this out!)

 

 

• Shop updates:
  • Our shop hasn’t received any love in awhile, so we’ve added some new exciting items to revitalize it! We also added numerous ironman donation items, since many Ironman/classics have expressed interest in obtaining higher donator ranks but didn’t have many items to spend their tokens on.
    • New additions:
      • Instance tokens have been added!
        • These tradable tokens will allow you to create any instance of your choice! While having a token in your inventory (or multiple, as they are stackable) you can create an instance without spending and GP. 
          • These tokens come in packs of 10 from the shop, which costs 70 tokens.
      • Cosmetics:
        • Cow outfit
      • Equipment:
        • Shayzien armour set
        • Elite void set (with 3 helmets)
      • General:
        • Tome of fire
        • Herb sack
        • Seed box
        • Imbuement scroll
    • Changes:
      • Many items were moved from the General tab to the Supplies tab:
        • Anglerfish, Dark crab, Super combat potion, Dragon javelin and Dragon bolts.

 

 

• Website updates:
  • HTTPS Support (SSL Encryption)
    • Our domain is now SSL certified! You may have already noticed this if you’ve seen the green padlock and “secure” text next to the URL. This long overdue procedure will offer increased protection while browsing our website.
  • Vote changes:
    • RSPS-Page has been removed from our vote page due to frequently failing to correctly notify us when a player has voted. This means that there are now 6 websites to vote on, and you need to vote on 5 in total to get your auth. (though we recommend all 6 as this helps the server tremendously!)

NOTE: You must update your client to play after this update!

NOTE2: The game will not work at all if you are using the .ZIP client and do not re-download! The .ZIP client does not auto-update like the .JAR client (alora.jar), and you will need to either start using the .JAR client located here. If you always use alora.jar, simply close and restart your client. You’ll know if you need to do this if you see the following error:

We hope you enjoy this update! As always, please report any bugs in the correct section or directly to me in a private message :)
