Hello everyone, welcome to this month's edition of the Alora Newspaper!

 

Welcome, to another edition of the Alorian Times!

Hope everyone has enjoyed this past April and not to keep you here to long, let's get in to it.

 

While we will not tolerate harassment, offensive language, flame, disrespect, inappropriate content, or anything of that sort, we also understand that the transition between a 7 day mute and a permanent mute is a big step. We've added a 14 day mute to the offense chain to hopefully drill the message into players that this behavior will not be tolerated without them suffering from never being able to use the in-game chat again.

As of a recent update, we've added a filter to prevent people that attempt to use harmful words, names, slurs, etc. Part of the purpose of this update was to prevent advertising. This being said we've added a section to Rule 2 stating that those with malicious intent who attempt to work around our filter will NOT be dealt with lightly.

Hotfixes [14/4/19]:

• Bug fixes:
  • Immortal donator fixes:
    • Fixed Master donators being able to get the gray skin color.
      • All players with the gray skin have been reset to red (Dragon), so Immortals simply need to go re-obtain it. This is to ensure nobody who doesn't have access to the skin color has it as of this update.
    • Fixed Immortal donators' yell tag not having the shadow background if Immortal was not their main rank (eg. Ironman / Veteran rank).
  • Skilling interface:
    • Using keyboard to select option:
      • You can now use your mouse keys (1-9) to select which item in the skilling interface you'd like to make.
    • New skilling interface has been updated for:
      • Gem cutting
      • Cannonball smithing
    • Fixed a bug which was not allowing you to use the Pestle and mortar on herblore ingredients.
  • Miscellaneous:
    • Group Ironman de-ironing now de-irons you to the Normal game mode (you will no longer be an Ironman).
    • Fixed a problem with staff who are UIM accidentally being able to deposit items into the bank deposit box.
    • Fixed a bug which allowed you to cut amethyst while mining them.

Forums:

• A new award has been added:
  • Divine Supporter ~ awarded to players who have reached the Immortal donator rank. (Orange diamond)
    • All current Immortal donators have been given this award. Any future players must apply for it.

 

 

 

Hey guys,

 

Today's update contains a bunch of content that we've been working hard on, some from the recent content poll (GIM/Raids/Karambwanji changes), and some that has simply been overdue for awhile now (Amethyst mining, crafting and ammunition). We've also managed implement a few other cool updates such as the new skilling interfaces from OSRS, the updated bank deposit box interface (quick deposit buttons) and tab-to-reply working for multiple players. Lastly, we've implemented a new donator rank - the Immortal Donator, which is the highest tier rank on Alora at the moment! 

 

We're also planning another update very soon for Easter, which should include some new Treasure Trail items. Keep an eye out for that

 

 

Game updates:

• New skilling interfaces:
  • Many chatbox interfaces for skilling actions have been updated to the latest one used by OSRS, allowing you to choose the amount you wish to create in the top right corner.
  • As this is a big job to manually update every skilling interface, we may have forgotten to update every single one. Please make sure to report any that are not yet updated!
    • Completed interfaces:
      • All Fletching, Crafting, Smelting (bars in furnace), Cooking and Herblore
• Amethyst mining:
  • Amethyst crystals can now be mined in the Mining guild ('Falador mines' teleport at the wizard).
    • These are the highest level rock in the game, requiring level 92 Mining to mine, and are only located in the Mining guild.
      • These yield 240 Mining experience per ore, and will take ~75 seconds to respawn after being fully mined.
  • Amethyst uses:
    • By using a chisel on Amethyst crystals with the appropriate Crafting level, you can create the following: (60 Experience for any craft)
      • 83 - Amethyst bolt tips (makes 15):
        • Used to create Amethyst bolts, which can then be enchanted. (See below)
      • 85 - Amethyst arrow tips (makes 15):
        • Used to create Amethyst arrows. (See below)
      • 87 - Amethyst javelin heads (makes 5):
        • Used to create Amethyst javelins. (See below)
  • Amethyst ammo:
    • Amethyst broad bolts:
      • Created by attaching amethyst bolt tips to broad bolts with 76 Fletching, rewarding 106 Fletching XP per 10 completed bolts.
      • These bolts have +115 Ranged strength, making them comparable to Runite bolts.
    • Amethyst arrows:
      • These arrows are stronger than rune arrows (+6 more Ranged strength) and can be used with any bow of Magic or stronger.
    • Amethyst javelins:
      • These javelins are stronger than Rune javelins, but not as strong as Dragon javelins.
      • These javelins have +135 ranged strength bonus.
• Enhanced tridents:
  • You can now enhance both the Trident of the swamp and the Trident of the seas by handing over either staff and 10 Kraken tentacles to Lieve McCracken near the Kraken entrance.
    • Doing so will turn your Trident of the swamp -> Trident of the swamp (e), or Trident of the seas -> Trident of the seas (e)
      • This allows your trident to hold up to 20,000 charges rather than 2,500.
        • The charges from your old trident will be unloaded to Zulrah scales, which you can use to load your new trident.
      • You will need 10 Kraken tentacles for each trident you wish to enhance.
• Bank deposit box buttons:
  • 3 buttons have been added to the bank deposit box interface for ease of banking:
    • Deposit inventory button:
      • Deposits your entire inventory.
    • Deposit equipment button:
      • Deposits all of your equipment.
    • Deposit looting bag button:
      • Deposits all of the items in your looting bag (if you have one).
  • This update is particularly helpful in areas where there is no bank nearby, such as when mining gem rocks in the Donator zone.
• Group Ironman changes:
  • GIM De-ironing:
    • Group Ironmen can now de-iron as long as they are NOT currently in an Ironman group. If they are, they must first kick themselves from the group (or be kicked) using a GIM Removal ticket.
      • Upon de-ironing, you will become a regular ironman. You can then de-iron once more to become a regular player.
      • WARNING: This action is permanent. We will not re-iron players under any circumstance.
  • GIM Removal Ticket price reduction:
    • The GIM Removal tickets have been reduced from 350 tokens to 250 tokens to make them more accessible.
• Miscellaneous:
  • Fixed a bug which caused your pet to lose insurance if you insured a Jal-Nib-Rek and metamorphed it into TzRek-Zuk. They will now both be classified under the same pet insurance.
  • Gourd vials (from Raids 1) will now be 'smashed' after drinking, rather than having empty vials in your inventory, assuming you have the setting enabled by the Emblem trader.
  • If you are ever muted (whether it's a yell mute, regular mute, etc) you will be notified how long the mute will last for, in a red message in the chatbox.
  • Druidic wreath is now tradable.
  • Fixed a bug where Veterans' donator status icon would be incorrect in Clan chat.
  • For the Boss Kiflltime records, many records were only showing 2 instead of 3. This has been fixed, and it will always display the 3 best records.
  • Fixed the Mime top disappearing when deposited into your bank.
  • If you die as an HCIM and lose your rank, there was a bug which did not remove your HCIM equipment. You will now also automatically lose your equipment, whether it is worn, equipped, in the bank, etc.
• Fletching update:
  • You can now fletch different logs for Arrow shafts rather than only normal logs. These higher tier logs will give more shafts:
    • Normal - 15
    • Oak - 30
    • Willow - 45
    • Maple - 60
    • Yew - 75
    • Magic - 90
    • Redwood - 105
  • Redwood logs can now be fletched into arrow shafts and Redwood shields.
    • Redwood shields require level 40 Defence to equip.
• Crafting updates:
  • Redwood shields (see above) can now be crafted into Black d'hide shields.
    • At level 83 Crafting, players can use 2 black dragon leather and 15 rune nails on the shield with a hammer in the inventory to create a black d'hide shield: this gives 172 Crafting experience.
    • Black d'hide shields require level 70 Ranged and 40 Defence to equip.
• Raids 1 (Chambers of Xeric) update:
  • Clicking on the worms (from the chest room) with the left mouse button (regular click) will now drop them, allowing you to quickly get rid of the worms.
  • Sapling trees (which give kindling in the Ice demon room) are now far less likely to fall, allowing you to chop them for longer. They will also respawn more quickly.
  • Sapling trees will also give kindling more quickly, though this is still based on your Woodcutting level.
• Raids bonus changes:
  • Raids bonuses are now separate, meaning the Raids 1 or Raids 2 bonuses can individually be enabled. They can also both be enabled simultaneously at different rates.
  • Due to the previous update boosting Raids drops, we've limited the weekend bonuses to 1.2 maximum rather than 1.3.
• Tab to reply to PM (multi-reply):
  • Although we already have tab-to-reply to PMs, I have extended this system to allow you to hit the Tab key multiple times to go through your most recent 5 PMers and reply to them individually, rather than only the latest PMer.
• Clue scroll update:
  • Holy sandals, Wizards boots and Ranger boots will now appear over yell / discord / website drop announcements.
• Alchemical Hydra drops fixed:
  • The Hydra's pieces (fang/heart/eye) were not dropping in the correct order and have now been fixed:
    • The order players receive the items in are: Hydra's eye, Hydra's fang and finally Hydra's heart.
      • If you have all 3 already in your bank/inventory, you will receive a random piece, but if you are missing one, you will receive the piece that you require.
• 3rd Age pickaxe fixes:
  • This item can now mine properly at the fastest pickaxe speed.
  • Now requires 65 attack to equip.
  • Combat animations on the pickaxe have been fixed.
  • Special attack temporarily boosts your Mining level by 3, using 100% of your special attack energy.
• Theatre of Blood changes:
  • The healing phase of Xarpus, where you must stand on top of the exhumed skeletons to prevent them from healing the boss's hit points, has been removed after being voted on in the most recent content poll.
    • The boss will now fly up from the ground and be ready to fight as soon as the whole team has entered the room, although it will have full health as if it were left to heal.
• Karambwanji changes:
  • Karambwanji, which are used as bait to fish Karambwans, have been removed from all Fishing stores. With this change, you will have to fish Karambwanji at the Karambja docks, near the other Karambwan spots, BUT we've made it so that the Karambwanji are stackable, so you can fish them quite easily without having to bank.
    • Karambwanji can be caught at the same dock as Karambwan, but at the south-western spot on the dock, and requires level 5 Fishing and grants 5 experience per fish caught.
      • Unlike other fish, the amount of karambwanji caught depends on the player's Fishing level, increasing every five levels. The exact formula is 1+floor(level/5). This means players with a Fishing level of 95 or above will catch 20 karambwanji at a time, and boosting beyond 99 will result in 21 karambwanji caught per catch.
• Slayer update:
  • Completing the Inferno while on a Slayer task will now give you 3x as much experience for completing the task as before.
    • Rate: 7,200 XP * Skilling multiplier (eg. 40x for normal players, 8x for HCIM, etc)
    • This is approximately 216,000 XP for a player on normal mode.
• Barrows herblore secondary drops: (Thanks to @Kharyrll for the help!)
  • Following the latest content poll, we've updated Barrows drops to contain some Herblore secondaries that are sought after by Ironmen. This isn't intended to be the primary way of obtaining secondaries, but can help make it easier to train Herblore and collect many different types of secondaries simultaneously.
  • Overall, the chance of receiving a Herblore  secondary drop from Barrows loot is 6.1%, with the following drops and amounts: (Rare drop scroll enhances this chance)
    • Crushed nest (10-15) (0.8%)
    • Snape grass (40-70) (0.5%)
    • Wine of Zamorak (20-35) (0.8%)
    • White berries (45-70) (0.5%)
    • Potato cactus (40-50) (0.5%)
    • Red spiders' eggs (20-35) (0.8%)
    • Limpwurt root (40-70) (0.5%)
    • Mort myre fungus (45-60) (0.6%)
    • Blue dragon scales (60-100) (0.6%)
    • Unicorn horns (25-35) (0.5%)

 

 

 

 

Forum updates:

• New emoticons added: (Thanks to @Paine for helping to collect these!)

      • 
      • 
      • 
      • 
      • … and many more!

 

Donation updates:

• Immortal Donator Rank:
  • A new Donator rank has been added! This is the ultimate rank - higher than any before it and the most exclusive on Alora, requiring double the amount that Master required at $10,000 total spent. Not many will be able to obtain this rank, adding to its elusiveness.

      • Up to 3,000 storable PMs.
      • Profile pictures (animated) can be up to 3mb.
      • Username on the forums is displayed in a black text with a gold outline and glow, along with a gold sparkle effect. (This is the only rank with an outline)
      • In-game icon is a gray-ish black logo with a gold stripe through the middle, and the yell tag says “Immortal” in black with a text shadow (the only rank with this effect).
    • Game:
      • All Master Donator perks (enhanced), notably:
        • Drop rate (general) boosted by 17% rather than 12% (Master)
        • Inferno start wave at 49 rather than 45 (Master)

          • Immortal Gray can be obtained for free from the Donation manager.

        • Free pet insurance from Probita
        • Ability to skip Konar's tasks without a fee
        • Increased % chance of Infernal tools effect being applied (33%)
        • Automatically create (4) dose potions instead of the usual (3) dose

            • Green

Hotfixes [23/4/19]:

• The 5 minute timer on Rejuvenation pools will now only apply to players who are skulled (as they are more likely to have been rushing others in the Wilderness).
• Commands fixed for moderators.
• Fixed an issue in Theatre of Blood where the chosen player in the Sotetseg phase would get sent to Edgeville instead of the Shadow realm. This should no longer occur.

 

Hello everyone,

 

The staff team and I would like to wish you a Happy Easter! :)

 

The Easter Event is now live! Hop into Alora and you’ll find the Easter Bunny looking for help with distributing Easter eggs this year.

 

Today's update is primarily for the Easter Event and thus is not as large as the usual update, but we've included a few bug fixes as well which are listed below.

 

Lastly, there is also an Easter sale going on at the moment with 25% bonus tokens, and the Easter box item which is the only way to obtain the Bunny outfit. Make sure to take advantage of the sale while it lasts!

 

• Website:
  • The GIM Team Highscores was only showing 23 rather than 30 groups, and you could not check any pages after the first page.
    • It will now list a full 30 teams, and you can go further than the first page.

 

• Easter Event 2019:
  • Speak to the Easter Bunny in Edgeville and you'll be teleported to an area slightly north of Falador where the Easter Bunny is working on this year's Easter festivities.
    • You'll need to run some errands around Alora to help the Easter Bunny with this year's event but you'll be given a couple of cool rewards for doing so!

 

• Game:
  • Miscellaneous:
    • Updated the gambling topic for rules/ranks that is advertised at ;;gamble to the new topic created by @Mack
    • Fixed a bug with the Farming guild which was blocking some players from getting tasks.
    • Fixed a bug which blocked you from fletching regular logs -> Arrow shafts
  • Skilling interface updates:
    • The following interfaces have been updated to use the new skilling interface:
      • Battlestaff creation
      • Bones on altar
  • PvP changes:
    • Restoration pools update:
      • To prevent players from consistently being able to regenerate their special attack energy every 3 minutes, we've increased this timer to 5 minutes ONLY for special attack energy. For example, the rejuvenation pool at home can be used every 3 minutes, but if you use it before 5 minutes have passed, you will only have your run/HP/etc restored, everything except special attack.
    • Nerfing other special energy restoration methods:
      • Leaving the Fight caves / Inferno / LMS / other mini-games will no longer restore special attack energy. Dying in the mini-game, of course, will still regenerate special attack energy. Additionally, entering certain mini-games such as LMS will still restore your health and cure poison.

 

 

Regards,

Omicron

This month I will be interviewing: Dante and Kharyrll

 

Everyone welcome our Dad Dante to the casting couch this month!

 

Code 002: If you could travel anywhere in the world for free where would you go and why?

Dante: I'm kind of torn between two places -- Japan and Italy. I have never been to Japan and would love to immerse myself in such a foreign culture for a while. If it came down to it I think I would have to choose Calabria, Italy seeing as I have family there and it has some of the most beautiful landscapes, food, culture and nightlife. I love the language and I had the chance to go there when I was 10 and had such a blast, so I figure I'd have even more fun now that I am mature (barely) and can make my own decisions (if my mom says it's okay).

 

 

Code 002: What do you find the most enjoyable in Alora?

Dante: I know it's kind of cliche to say but the community is definitely one of the biggest things Alora has to offer, and it's definitely something that I enjoy being a part of although I haven't been as active as I was a month or so ago. Definitely one of the most tight-knit communities in the RSPS scene from my experience and time playing them over the last few years.

 

 

Code 002: What would your favorite food be? And what would be for dessert?

Dante: Favorite food hands down is lasagna. I could eat it every meal of the day for the rest of my life as long as it was made by my nonna or my mom. For dessert it would also be Lasagna. I fucking love Lasagna.
 

Code 002: You bring a very fair point I could live off lasagna!

 

 

Code 002: So I know you're quite the cheese connoisseur what is your favorite type of cheese? (Guessing itll be a cheese that's in lasagna)

Dante: Although I love mozzarella my favourite is definitely Brie. Such an awesome cheese that can be paired with so many things.

Code 002: (Googles Brie) https://gyazo.com/2b...034dbcce7429079

Dante: Brie is that french cheese that smells like feet....But it doesn’t always smell like feet!

Code 002: L0l0l so that's why you always said your feet smell like cheese!

Dante: Yeah, Like Brie or Gorgonzola!

 

 

Code 002: Do you miss being on the staff team at times? We know our dad is moving on up in life.

Dante: I miss being on the team all the time. It’s like I divorced and unfortunately my unintelligent ex-wife (Lowkey) got custody of all the kids. Even the new ones that aren’t my blood are still missed. One thing about being on the team that I lost was being able to talk to everyone everyday, and although I still have discord and can talk to everyone it isn’t the same. Easiest way I can relate it to is having a job with “work buddies” that you are very close with but don’t get the chance to do things after work. But when you work there everyday you are constantly conversing and dealing with each other. In some ways I don’t miss it because I was allocating a large amount of my free time to Alora in general, and was having problems with my girlfriend, friends, as well as some of my own issues. I’ve resolved most if not all of them between now and the time I resigned. I do miss my Alora Fam though<3!!!

 

 

Code 002: So outside of Alora what do you enjoy doing?

Dante: I enjoy work a lot, other than that I play softball in the summer and drink, I play video games in most of my spare time like rs3, apex legends, the division 2 and started playing minecraft a bit recently with older friends.

 

 

Code 002: What personal achievement are you most proud of?

 

Dante: As dumb as it sounds finishing high school. I have a lot of other minor achievements that I’m happy about but the one that comes to mind right away is that. I was pretty good in school but had some issues in final year and almost didn’t graduate, so I’m happy I managed to push through it and actually finish and graduate.

 

 

Everyone say hello to our resident   Kharyrll!! Please have a seat over here...

 

 

Code 002: If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you want to go and why?

Kharyrll: Let us say I in some imaginary parallel universe would leave my apartment to explore the outside world I think it would be some of the lesser touristed Asian countries like Myanmar(previously known as Burma) and visit the smaller villages on the countryside to experience what their everyday life looks like in comparison to mine.
Perhaps somewhere in South America to explore the very different culture, look at some the Aztec architecture and dig a bit further into that part of history. But also the very different climate, from what I am used to in Denmark at least, with everything that follows even though I don’t spend any time outdoors normally I actually have a great interest in the more interesting animals that you don’t get to see outside of their enclosures here at home.


Code 002: How are you liking your new position within the staff team? And did you ever expect to make it this far? What even got you interested in joining the team in the first place?

Kharyrll: I am really proud of what I have contributed to the staff team and the server as a whole so far. I see myself as a very dedicated and hard working person, so I expected to do well in the staff team but not that my climb would be this fast. I had been toying with idea of applying for staff for a long long time, and with some convincing words from friends I decided to jump into it and I am very happy I did so!


Code 002: If there was anything in the world that you could change. What would you change and why?

Kharyrll: My initial thought of something acoustic like Amazon in Denmark so I don't have to leave the house to get groceries. But a thing I dislike on my travels is all the homeless animals/pets living on the street to get a home with a family caring for them. Perhaps for all people to have the same opportunities in terms of education and obtaining knowledge, so thinks like social background or your parents' wealth impacts what you can do in life...Give Jay his hair back.. There is a fair few things I would like to change it seems.


Code 002: Do you have any specific goals for your GIM? Like 4.6b xp? Or item comp etc?

Kharyrll: After that one weekend where I decided it would be fun to do 200m construction in one sitting and it ended up being me and my chair for 40 hours straight I kind of decided that since I had already completed 4.6b experience on one account(for those that are not aware my ultimate ironman is Diseased and is 200m all skills) I would like for this to just be mainly focused on pvming, mainly raiding as getting the pre-raids items takes like a day or two.
But I continued to skill when I was bored, and eventually took back rank 1… and now I am kind of motivated to get 200m experience in skills again. I will still raid and do corp etc - But I would like to get 4.6b one day.
Item completionist is a weird goal to me, the fact it is based purely on RNG doesn’t attract me all that much. I understand that you could just grind 1800 raids and get your twisted bow eventually, but it doesn’t motivate me and keeps me going like skilling and going for 200ms does.
But most importantly I would like an active 5-man group again. A bit boring only being 1,5 active players out of 5.

 

Code 002: Who hurt you?

Kharyrll: Good question. I have hit marks or something in my two front teeth, and I remember my mother telling me that I was rocking on a chair when I was younger and smashed my face and front teeth down into a wooden/metal door frame we used to have. But I have most likely been dropped a few too many times as a young boy.

[Dante]

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to finally be interviewed instead of interviewing people!

 

Excellent job on the newspaper my son, well done.

[Champ]

It's always a pleasure to read these. Fantastic job once again Alex!

[Eim ash]

Was Fun reading it, am glad am in it and my boy @iron 2ridic

 

another nice newspaper @Code 002

[40a]

Big fan of the “what’s happening” section!

[Josh]

Glad to see my son @ Kharyrll interviewed. Also, It was weird seeing @ Dante asked questions instead of asking..

 

Great job, Alex.

[MT]

Nice reads for both @Dante and @Kharyrll. Can't wait to see who gets interviewed next. :)

[rip joey]

Good article, perhaps add the images instead of the links since they are so cropped anyway. Also I doubt Kharyll will ever go outside.

[Vape Tricks]

Great reads here! RIP staff hopes due to RNG 

[2 Ridiculous]

Ikr who would of thought that we both randomly get scythe and tbow in the same month lol. The 'what's happening' is a nice addition tbh   @Eim ash

Was Fun reading it, am glad am in it and my boy @iron 2ridic

 

another nice newspaper @Code 002

[22]

Great read as always. Loved the interviews. We miss you dude Dante..

[Immortal Fox]

You taught him well! @Dante (We miss you too  ). 

 

Beautifully formatted/written @Code 002, loving the spoilers and the "What's happening" section .

[Perkamentus]

Very nice to read this, and i'm happy to see who where promoted. Congratulations all!

[Not Hellish]

Good shit Code 002, the interviews were great. 

[Sassafras]

Always a good read, thanks @Code 002 for putting it together.

[Jisoo]

Great read, I can always look forward to the beginning of each month knowing there will be a well-written newspaper waiting for me! 

[Chuckoramma1]

Great update Been busy with work haven't had much time for forums 

[3rdAttempt]

I believe there are people in the Alora community that don't realize that staff can be lenient with what people say. Everyone sees it in their respective Clan Chats and the ;;yell that sometimes language gets a little out of hand. Yes, it is just an online game and people are entitled to their own opinions; but sometimes people seem to take advantage of that and take it a bit too far and not consider the repercussions outside of "I'll just make another account" or quitting the game all together.

I believe any modifications to those specific set of rules are healthy for the Alora community.

[Iron obra]

Love reading the newspaper every month

[KP]

Thank you, it was a good read alecks.
