Hello everyone,

 

This week's update comes with many new pieces of content such as the Falconry method of hunting, Aerial fishing to catch fish as well as the release of the Anglerfish outfit which comes with a Fishing XP boost, the Bottomless compost bucket dropped by Hespori which holds up to 10,000 compost and doubles your current compost, the ability to custom-donate for a username change for any username, and many other bug fixes/QOL.

 

• Bug fixes:
  • Username fixes:
    • Group Ironman mode was bugged for players who had a 1 or 2 letter username.
    • EIM partners with 1-2 letter names were bugged and have been fixed.
    • Slayer partners with 1-2 letter names were bugged and have been fixed.
    • Fixed many staff command bugs that were blocking them from properly issuing punishments to 1-2 letter names.
  • Fixed a bug with the Prifddinas agility course which stopped you from getting experience from the portals that appear throughout the course.
  • The ::customs link to the Custom donation thread has been updated to the new and improved thread created by @Mack (https://www.alora.io/forums/topic/58281-custom-donations-donating-with-osrs-gpbtc)
  • Fixed another Dragon Slayer II requirement bug with the Monkey Madness king (hopefully the final one)
  • Fixed a bug which caused your client to crash when using the Dragon pickaxe (or) special attack (the ornamented one from Zalcano).
  • Removed duplicate (3) Tool Leprechauns at the Prifddinas farming patch.
  • The auto-noting feature for bones that is given to Immortal donators was not properly noting Superior dragon bones, and has been fixed.
• Username changes (ANY USERNAME):
  • Considering our test run with username changes went well for the most part, we're now opening username changes for normal names as well!
    • This means that you're not only limited to rare (and more expensive) 1-2 letter usernames.
      • The cost for this type of username change is $25 at the moment.
      • This is still done manually by me, but will be automated through the use of a store-bought item in the near future, which will reduce the price even further.
• Castle wars fix:
  • A bug which caused barricades that have been destroyed/burned to still have an invisible 'barrier' on the tile that they were on, permanently locking that tile, should no longer occur.
• Bottomless compost bucket:
  • This can now be obtained as a drop from Hespori! (1/35 chance)
    • It is tradable when empty. Players can right-click it to empty it out, though any compost in it will be lost.
  • Features:
    • It can be filled with compost, super compost, or ultra compost.
      • You can use it directly on a compost bin to fill it with compost.
    • The bucket can be filled with up to 10,000 uses of one type of compost. 
      • It can be filled from a compost bin or from buckets of compost (noted ones work as well). 
        • Each bucket added counts as two uses, so only 5,000 buckets are required to fill it to the maximum.
          • This effectively doubles the use of each compost bin that is added to the bucket!
• Friends list changes:
  • The maximum number of friends you can have is now 400 rather than 200, to match OSRS.
    • Previously, although we updated the friends list to 300 months ago, it was actually still capped at 200 friends due to a bug which is now fixed.
• Players can now use a dragon boots ornament kit on their dragon boots to gild them.
  • The dragon boots ornament kit can be purchased from the vote shop for 300 vote points.
• Falconry:
  • Players can now hunt kebbits in the Falconer area.
  • The Falconer area can be reached by speaking to the teleport wizard and going into the skilling menu.
    • Players can also reach the area by exiting the kraken cave and running straight east.
  • To start hunting, players must speak to Matthias, who will explain the basics of Falconry, and allow you to “have a go with his bird” if you wish to do so.
    • The cost to “have a go with his bird” is 50,000 coins, and the falconers glove can be used until the player either logs out, or teleports away/uses the stile to exit the area.
  • Players can catch the following Kebbits:
    • Spotted Kebbit:
      • Requires level 43 hunter to catch, and provides 104 base experience.
      • Upon catching the Spotted Kebbit, players will receive 1 Spotted kebbit fur, and bones.
    • Dark Kebbit:
      • Requires level 57 hunter to catch, and provides 132 base experience.
      • Upon catching the Dark Kebbit, players will receive 1 Dark kebbit fur, and bones.
    • Dashing Kebbit:
      • Requires level 69 hunter to catch, and provides 156 base experience.
      • Upon catching the Dashing Kebbit, players will receive 1 Dashing kebbit fur, and bones.
  • Players who have the bonecrusher with them will not receive any bones, instead they will be buried automatically.
• Aerial Fishing:
  • To access this area, players can use any of the boaties that are on the docks on Lake Molch in Zeah, or use the teleport in the teleport wizard interface.
  • To begin, speak to Alry the Angler, and he will allow you to use his Cormorant to catch fish.
    • The following fish can be caught:
      • Bluegill: 
        • Require level 43 fishing and level 35 hunter.
          • Catching a bluegill will provide 11.5 base fishing experience, and 16.5 base hunter experience.
            • Using a knife on this fish will provide fish chunks, and 3.5 base cooking experience.
      • Common Tench: 
        • Require level 56 fishing and level 45 hunter.
          • Catching a bluegill will provide 40 base fishing experience, and 45 base hunter experience.
            • Using a knife on this fish will provide fish chunks, and 10 base cooking experience.
      • Mottled Eel: 
        • Require level 73 fishing and level 68 hunter.
          • Catching a bluegill will provide 65 base fishing experience, and 90 base hunter experience.
            • Using a knife on this fish will provide fish chunks, and 20 base cooking experience.
      • Greater Siren: 
        • Require level 91 fishing and level 87 hunter.
          • Catching a bluegill will provide 100 base fishing experience, and 130 base hunter experience.
            • Using a knife on this fish will provide fish chunks, and 25 base cooking experience.
    • Players only have a chance to catch the aforementioned fish if they have the levels required to do so, and the higher their levels, the more likely they are to catch a better fish.
    • Whenever a fish is caught, there is a 1/20,000 chance of getting a Golden Tench, an incredibly rare cosmetic weapon.
    • Every 3-6 catches, the cormorant will consume a fish chunk, or king worm from the player’s inventory.
      • If the player doesn’t have any king worm’s or fish chunks, the cormorant will refuse to catch fish.
        • King worms can be obtained from the king worm pile on the ground next to Alry the angler.
        • Fish chunks can be obtained by using a knife on the fish caught by the cormorant. 
  • Whenever a fish is caught, players have a chance to receive a Molch pearl, which is used as a currency for Alry’s Wares.
  • Alry’s wares:
    • In the shop the following items are sold:
      • Anglers outfit: 
        • 100 Molch pearls per set piece
      • Pearl fishing rod:
        • 100 Molch Pearls
        • This rod is equippable, and can be used in place of a regular fishing rod.
      • Pearl fly fishing rod:
        • 125 Molch pearls
        • This rod is equippable, and can be used in place of a fly fishing rod.
      • Pearl barbarian rod:
        • 150 Molch pearls
        • This rod is equippable, and can be used in place of a barbarian fishing rod.
      • Fish sack:
        • 1000 Molch pearls
• Angler outfit set effect added:
  • Each piece of the angler set will now provide the following bonus:
    • Angler hat: 
      • 0.3% bonus fishing experience.
    • Angler top:
      • 0.7% bonus fishing experience.
    • Angler waders:
      • 0.6% bonus fishing experience.
    • Angler boots:
      • 0.2% bonus fishing experience.
    • Set bonus:
      • If all the pieces of the set are worn, players will receive an extra 0.5% bonus, totaling 2.5% bonus fishing experience.
• New teleports added to teleport wizard:
  • Cities:
    • Tree Gnome Stronghold
      • This location is essential to some quests, and was only accessible  through the Skilling interface (Gnome Agility Course) which many players do not know, and has provided unnecessary confusion. Due to this, we've decided to add a direct teleport.
  • Skilling:
    • Piscatoris Falconry area
    • Lake Molch (Aerial Fishing)
• Name change fixes:
  • Any punishments that you had on your old username (eg. A mute) will now properly transfer to your new username.
  • If you have your new name on your friends/ignore list, it will be removed upon the name change so you can't PM yourself afterwards.
  • If you have a clan chat, it will be linked to your new name so that you can keep your rank structure.
  • You will no longer lose your rank in other Clan chats (eg. Gamble CC)

 

• Website changes:
  • Hiscores fixes:
    • You can now search for 1 or 2 letter names.
  • Previous username:
    • When posting on the forums, it will now show your previous username on the left-hand side (user details)
  • Game news fix:
    • With new, shorter usernames, it sometimes led to weird visual bugs on the game news section of forum profiles (Eg. if your username was "A", the word "Dragon Axe" would be formatted like your username and capitalized to "DrAgon Axe").
