Hello everyone,
 
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
 

 
We hope that you are all enjoying and cherishing this time with your families, as well as with your Alora family. We are delighted to be spending another Christmas with you all, and going into our 6th year, we're excited to show you what we have in store for you in 2022. In the meantime, we're releasing the Christmas update this year with some new holiday items as the prize for completing the event, as well as the Lovakengj Blast Mine, and last but not least, a handful of bug fixes and QoL! We also have our 2nd League launching in just a few days on Monday, December 27th! For more information on Leagues and the possible prizes that you can win, have a look at the thread below:
https://www.alora.io...in-game-prizes/

• Christmas Event:
  • The 2021 Christmas Event is now live! Speak to the Squire in Falador Castle to get started.
  • After completing the event, you'll be rewarded with the following:
    • Festive elf hat
    • Festive elf slippers
    • Snowman ring (morph into 3 different snowmen)
    • Secret santa present (shield-slot cosmetic, choose between 5 different colors)
• Blast Mine:
  • Players with at least 43 mining can now mine ore at the Blast Mine in Lovakengj.
  • Players will require a tinderbox, pickaxe, and chisel to mine ores here.
    • The process consists of mining a cavity into the hard rock around area, and then placing dynamite within that cavity, lighting it, and collected the blasted ore.
      • Players within 3 tiles of the dynamite when it explodes will take damage from being too close.
        • Once the dynamite explodes, blasted ore will spawn on the ground for the player.
          • This blasted ore will disintegrate within 1 minute of obtaining it, so players must act quick to deposit it into the nearby sack.
      • Dynamite can be obtained in the following ways:
        • Purchased from Thirus Urkar’s Fine Dynamite Store, near the blast mine.
        • Obtained as a reward from the Chambers of Xeric.
        • Players can also make dynamite by adding juniper charcoal, saltpetre, and volcanic sulphur to an empty pot to make a dynamite pot, then adding a ball of wool to make dynamite.
          • Saltpetre can be obtained from the Chambers of Xeric, or by digging the saltpetre deposits near the woodcutting guild.
            • There are 5 areas where a deposit can spawn, and there can only be one saltpetre mound at any given moment.
              • Once a mound is fully dug out, it will spawn in one of the other 4 locations.
              • Players also have a chance to get 2 Saltpetre for each dig, rather than 1, depending on their mining level.
          • Volcanic Sulphur can be mined near the Blast Mine in Lovakengj.
            • Doing so requires level 42 mining, and provides 25 base Mining experience for doing so.
          • Juniper Charcoal can be obtained by chopping down Mature Juniper Trees, and using the logs on the charcoal furnace near the sand crabs in Hosidius.
            • Each juniper log used on the furnace provides 50 Juniper Charcoal.
      • Players will need 1 dynamite for each cavity they wish to blow up.
  • Once players deposit the blasted ore into the sack, they can then collect the refined version from the operator nearby.
    • Players will be able to obtain coal, gold ore, mithril ore, admanatite ore, and runite ore from the blast mine.
      • Players will also be able to obtain ores at 10 mining levels lower than would normally be allowed.
        • For example, players mining at the blast mine will be able to obtain runite ore at level 75 Mining, rather than 85.
      • Coal:
        • 30 base Mining experience, always obtainable.
      • Gold:
        • 60 base Mining experience, always obtainable.
      • Mithril:
        • 110 base Mining experience, obtainable at level 45 Mining.
      • Adamantite:
        • 170 base Mining experience, obtainable at level 60 Mining.
      • Runite:
        • 240 base Mining experience, obtainable at level 75 Mining.
  • Players can find more details/strategies for the Blast mine through the following wiki link:
    • https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Blast_mine[/size][/size]
  • Blast Mine Plugin:
    • We’ve also added the Runelite Blast Mine Plugin that players can use to make the process a bit easier.
• Quality of Life:
  • Fixed a bug that caused the bracelet of slaughter not to update the charges on the runelite item charges plugin.
  • Dynamite will now be given as a reward from Chambers of Xeric.
  • Saltpetre will now be given as a reward from Chambers of Xeric.
  • The water around the game will now be ice if the snow is toggled on.
  • Players can now charge orbs by using the charge orb spell on the corresponding obelisk.
  • Players can now use the golden hammer and dragon warhammer to smash infernal eels.
  • Players can now use the golden hammer to repair the braziers at Wintertodt.
  • Broad Arrowhead packs and unfinished broad bolt packs can now be purchased from the slayer shop.
    • The prices these items are higher than the individual unfinished bolts/arrow heads to account for the increased convenience/mass quantities they can be purchased in.
• Bug Fixes:
  • The superheat spell will now check if the player has coal in their coal bag when smelting.
  • Players can now smelt bars at the Lovakite Furnace.
  • Rats will no longer deal more than 0 damage.
  • Candy cane is now tradable.
  • Silly jester outfit is now tradable.
  • Purchasing Rainbow ankou outfit will now work as intended.
  • Fixed a bug where players would get the wrong amount of Bologa’s blessings from the Tithe farm shop if they didn’t have enough points to make the full purchase.
  • Fixed a bug where some Monkey GreeGree transformation animations were incorrect.
  • The 3 new Slayer helmet variants (Vampyric, TzKal, TzTok) will no longer drop the ornament kit on death.
    • This means that it cannot be lost to another player in PvP, but rather would go to the Untradable items shop.
  • Fixed some clue scroll item bonuses:
    • Blue d'hide chaps (t) and (g)
    • Green d'hide chaps (t) and (g)
    • Blue d'hide body (t) and (g)
    • Green d'hide body (t) and (g)

 
Happy Holidays!

Alora League 2.0 Information

Hello everyone,

It's that time of the year again, and we're excited to announce that we're hosting our 2nd Alora League in just a few days! This League will be very similar to the first one, although the in-game rewards will be entirely different. If you did not participate in the previous League, here's the rundown:

On December 27th at 7pm Eastern Time, starting on fresh accounts that are locked to Zeah, you'll be able to complete tasks and collect points. The players who have accumulated the most points by the end of the tournament will be awarded with some juicy prizes, including a PlayStation 5 for the top prize! There are also many other token prizes that can be won for the first players to accomplish certain tasks, such as obtaining Ranger boots. At the end of the tournament, players can spend their points on new, unique items from the Leagues reward shop.

Start date: December 27th, 7pm EST (Midnight server time)
End date: January 19th, 7pm EST (Midnight server time)

How does it work?
On December 27th, you'll be able to create a fresh account to participate in Leagues. This account will be wiped on January 19th and no items can be transferred off of it to a normal account, due to the increased drop rates on this game mode. Certain areas will be instanced, such as the Kourend Catacombs, to allow players to have a bit more space to train and compete. We are also instancing bosses such as Sarachnis to prevent overcrowding. While donator ranks do apply on these accounts, due to the account being locked at the end of the tournament, you will need to put in a request to transfer the total spent to one of your main Alora accounts.

Top Alora cash prizes:

• PlayStation 5
• Airpods Pro
• Logitech G935 Gaming Headset
• Logitech G502 Gaming Mouse

Top Alora Token prizes:

• First Twisted bow: 1,000 tokens
• First to 200m exp in any skill: 1,000 tokens
• First to obtain a phoenix pet from Wintertodt: 750 tokens
• First to obtain a boss pet: 750 tokens
• First to obtain a 3rd age piece: 750 tokens
• First to complete a Master difficulty task: 500 tokens
• First to obtain Ranger boots: 250 tokens
• First to complete a collection log entry: 250 tokens

Even if you don't receive one of the big cash prizes, there are plenty of reasons to play leagues! If you're feeling lucky, try your hand at a specific token prize, such as obtaining a Phoenix pet. You'll also have the ability to spend your points on many different in-game prizes at the end of the tournament, such as:

• Leagues Trophies
• Shattered Relic Hunter Outfit
• Shattered Relics Home Teleport Animation
• Shattered Relic Weapon Variety Pack
  • These weapon kits can be applied to Abyssal whip, Tentacle whip, Rune crossbow, God books, and Mystic robes.
• Dwarven Multicannon Ornament Kit
• Void & Elite Void Ornament Kit

Notes:

• The rules and prizes are subject to change based on availability.
• If a cash prize is unavailable in your country, an equivalent prize or amount via PayPal may be substituted.
• Winners of cash prizes can choose to receive Alora tokens and can receive 50% more by doing so.

We'll have more information on the nitty gritty of this tournament on release day, but this thread should give you a basic outline of what's to come. We hope you guys are just as excited for the start of our second Alora League!

Partially accepted, we'll add the arrow/bolt packs to the slayer shop at a premium, but the feather packs can already be purchased (in limited quantities) from trader stan's trading post.

Your suggestion has been accepted.

@Mack @Sassa fras @Extremedanny

It's completely understandable that players want a method to obtain the ornament kits for the Slayer helmets in-game, and we will be adding a way to do that in the future as well. It likely won't be through Combat achievements though, due to the differences between Alora and OSRS. We have a few ideas for how to introduce them into the game, and we'll share that likely in the next full update.

It's more-so an early release for those who support Alora, especially as the game matures and players aren't donating for items as much anymore, so we have to find ways to rejuvenate the store in order to maintain the same level of updates, marketing and quality of the game. With that being said, we have opted for adding cosmetic items which don't tend to negatively affect players, rather than releasing end-game items into the store. For those who want to earn the items in-game, if you want them right away, they are tradable and can be purchased from another player or via buying bonds, or there will be a method to obtain them in-game without the store in the near future if you're willing to wait a bit for it.

@Real Alan
As for the discounts on items, since we're doing a total spent bonus this time around (for the first time) and store items already become cheaper because of the 25% bonus, we decided to not put individual discounts on items. That doesn't mean that discounts are not going to be there for future sales, we've just decided to provide a different bonus (total spent) this time around.

Hope that clears things up for you guys and gives you a better perspective on our though process behind the updates.

 
Hello everyone,
 
We hope you're enjoying your holidays thus far! We're back with another update before Christmas, and while we're still awaiting the release of OSRS's Christmas event, we've got some cool updates to share in the meantime as well as a refresher to our Store, and the start of our Christmas Sale!
 
We've made some much-needed Gauntlet changes such as adding the Escape Crystal and ability to create Crystal paddlefish, added Salamander functionality as well as tar making, added new Monkey cape variants for the top 3 donator ranks, and a few other cool updates such as the Bake pie spell and resetting Raid time records for a clean slate.
 

 

You won't want to miss out on our holiday sale, with 25% bonus tokens on all purchases, discounts on numerous items, exclusive Christmas-only items (including the new Christmas mystery box), new Slayer helmet ornament kits, Rainbow ankou set, and for the first time ever, our bonus offer on total spent donations:

• For a limited time, all total spent donations will provide 1:4.5 towards rank rather than 1:4. So, for every $100 you spend for rank, you'll get $450 rather than $400. If you're looking to upgrade your rank, there's no better time to do so than now!

Store updates:

• 25% bonus tokens on all purchases.
• New items:
  • Rainbow Ankou outfit: (5,000 tokens)
    • Never seen before in any RSPS, this eye-catching color-changing outfit is sure to make a statement, all while being super satisfying to look at. Priced for exclusivity, only a select few will be able to show off this rare outfit.
  • Christmas box: (300 tokens)
    • Similar to Mystery boxes, this Ironman-accessible box will provide all of the Christmas cosmetics you could ever wish for! Possible rewards include:
      • Rare rewards:
        • Santa outfit (full outfit is given)
        • Anti-santa outfit (full outfit is given)
        • Santa hat
        • Inverted santa hat
        • Black Santa hat
        • Wise old man's santa hat
        • Christmas cracker (can be used on another player for a random party hat, but beware it will randomly give the party hat to either you or the other player! Can be used on your own account if you'd like)
          • These also have a rare chance of obtaining a more exclusive partyhat, such as the Rainbow partyhat.
      • Normal rewards:
        • Candy cane
        • A jester stick
        • Silly jester outfit
        • Jester hat

        • Yoyo

    • Players can click the “Transform” option on the monkey in their inventory to select an option to transform the monkey into.
      • Along with the old monkey morphs, players will now also see the 3 new donator morph options.
  • The Monkey transform menu has also been moved from chatbox dialogue to quest scroll to make it easier to swap monkeys.
• Goblin Decorations:
  • These decorations, which can be obtained from the Christmas mystery Box, can be used to decorate various objects in a player’s house to be Christmas Themed!
    • Players must simply use these decorations on an eligible object in their house, and it will become decorated for Christmas.
      • To re-obtain the decorations, right-click the tree and select the “remove-decorations” option.
      • The full list of items players can decorate can be found here:
        • https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Goblin_decorations[/size][/size]
• Wintumber Tree:
  • This is a tree that players can obtain from the Christmas Mystery Box.
    • Players can plant this tree in any room in their house, as long as it’s not on top of an object/hotspot.
      • Players must be in build mode to plant this tree.
      • Players can have up to 10 Wintumber Trees in their house.
• Gauntlet Changes:
  • The Crafting menu in the Gauntlet will now be static.
    • This means that it will now show all crafting options, rather than only the ones the player had the materials for.
      • The exception is that it will only show the current best tier of an type of item that the player can make.
        • For example, if the player has a Basic crystal bow, it will show the Attuned crystal bow in the crystal bow slot.
  • Crystal Paddlefish:
    • Players can now create Crystal Paddlefish using the Singing bowl.
      • Players will need a regular cooked paddlefish, and 10 Crystal shards to create a Crystal Paddlefish.
    • This food heals 16 hitpoints, rather than the standard 20, but can be eating as a combo food with regular paddlefish (similar to how Karambwans work).
  • Escape Crystal:
    • Players can now create an Escape Crystal using the Singing bowl.
      • Players will need 200 crystal shards create this item.
    • Players can activate the escape crystal at any point during the Gauntlet and it will pull them out of the session, and back to the lobby.
• Salamanders:
  • Players can now equip and use Salamanders/Swamp Lizards for combat.
    • There are 4 types of lizards/salamanders:
      • Swamp Lizard:
        • This lizard requires level 30 Attack, Range, and Magic to wield.
        • Every attack done with this weapon will consume 1 Guam Tar (must be equipped in the ammunition slot).
        • Players can catch Swamp Lizards with net traps at level 29 Hunter.
        • The Swamp Lizard has a chance to inflict poison on the target, starting at 6 damage.
      • Orange Salamander:
        • This Salamander requires level 50 Attack, Range, and Magic to wield.
        • Every attack done with this weapon will consume 1 Marrentill Tar (must be equipped in the ammunition slot).
        • Players can catch Orange Salamanders with net traps at level 47 Hunter.
      • Red Salamander:
        • This Salamander requires level 60 Attack, Range, and Magic to wield.

        • Every attack done with this weapon will consume 1 Harralander Tar (must be equipped in the ammunition slot).
        • Players can catch Black Salamanders with net traps at level 67 Hunter.
    • The salamanders/lizards have 3 attack styles:
      • Melee:
        • This attack style gives melee experience equivalent 4 x damage.
      • Range:
        • This attack style is 1 tick faster than melee/magic (4 ticks, rather than 5), and gives range experience equivalent to 4 x damage.
      • Magic:
        • This attack style gives magic experience equivalent to 2 x damage.
  • The Damage dealt for the Melee style will be calculated similar to other melee weapons, based on the strength level and strength bonus of the player.
  • The Damage dealt for the Range attack style will be calculated similar to other range weapons, based on the range level and ranged strength of the player.
    • The tars give the following ranged strength bonus:
      • Guam Tar: 16 Ranged Strength
      • Marrentill Tar: 22 Ranged Strength
      • Tarromin Tar: 31 Ranged Strength
      • Harralander Tar: 49 Ranged Strength
  • The Damage dealt for the Magic attack style will be calculated using the following formula:
    • MaxDamage = floor(0.5 + MagicLevel*(64 + Bonus)/640
      • The Bonus for each salamander/lizard is as follows:
        • Swamp Lizard: 56
        • Orange Salamander: 59
        • Red Salamander: 77
        • Black Salamander: 92
• Tar Making:
  • Players can now make Guam/Marrentill/Tarromin/Harralander tar.
    • The process to do so requires using a clean Guam/Marrentill/Tarromin/Harralander herb on at least 15 swamp tar.
      • Players doing this will need to have a pestle and mortar in their inventory to crush the herb into the tar.
      • The Requirements/Experience is as follows:
        • Guam Tar:
          • Requires level 19 Herblore to make, providing 30 base Herblore experience for every herb used.
        • Marrentill tar:

        • Harralander tar:
          • Requires level 44 Herblore to make, providing 72.5 base Herblore experience for every herb used.
• Raid time record reset:
  • All raid time records have been reset, including Chambers of Xeric, Theatre of Blood, and Hard Mode Theatre of Blood.
    • Given the many changes to PvM formulas and other weapon nerfs and buffs, we have decided to wipe these records to give a fair chance to players to set new records with the current mechanics on Alora.
• Bake Pie Spell:
  • Players with level 65 Magic or higher can now cast the Bake Pie spell in the Lunar spellbook.
    • This spell requires 1 Astral Rune, 5 Fire Runes, and 4 Water runes for each pie baked, and provides 60 base magic experience, along with the experience the player would get for cooking the pie normally.
      • This spell will automatically bake all of the pies in the players inventory that they have the cooking level for, however one set of the runes required will be consumed for every pie baked.
      • There is no chance of burning a pie when using this spell.
• Blamish Oil:
  • Players can now make Blamish Oil.
    • This requires level 25 Herblore to do, and provides 80 base Herblore experience for doing so.
      • To make Blamish Oil, players will need a thin snail, and an empty vial or sample bottle.
        • Use a pestle and mortar on the thin snail with the vial/bottle in your inventory, and it will provide Blamish snail slime, which can then be used on an unfinished Harralander potion to create the Blamish oil.
          • Players can obtain thin snails by killing Ochre or Mort Myre blemish snails in Mort Myre swamp.
  • Blamish oil can be used on regular/pearl fishing rods to create the oily variant used to fish infernal eels.
    • Players can use a cleaning cloth on the oily rod to revert it back to the regular fishing rod.
• Runecrafting Exit Portals:
  • Players can now use the Runecrafting exit portals for the following Altars:
    • Air Altar - Right outside of Falador, near Rimmington.
    • Water Altar - Lumbridge Swamp
    • Earth Altar - Between Varrock and the Sawmill
    • Fire Altar - Just outside of the Duel arena
    • Law Altar - Entrana
    • Nature Altar - Karamja Jungle (near hardwood grove)
    • Chaos Altar - Level 9 wilderness, just west of Edgeville
      • Players will be warned before exiting this altar.
• Clockworks:
  • Players can now make Clockworks at the clockwork bench in their POH, as long as it is the second tier or higher.
    • This will require level 8 Crafting, and 1 steel bar, and provide 15 base crafting experience.
• Bug Fixes:
  • Players can now mine with the Black Pickaxe.
  • Removed the wilderness sword 4/Varrock armour 4/Ardougne Cloak 4 from the reclaimables shop.
    • These items, as with all other diary armour, must be re-purchased from the achievement shop if lost.
  • Black Chinchompa's now have a +30 Ranged Strength bonus.
    • This will significantly increase their maximum damage.
  • The Slayer Helmet boost will now apply to all mobs in the Fight Caves, rather than just Jad.
  • Players will now automatically stop fishing Karambwanji after 3 minutes.
  • Fixed a bug with the gnome guard attack/defend animations.
  • Players can no longer note the regular archaic emblem.
  • Fixed a bug where the regular Youngllef pet did not have a "Metamorphosis" option for players who had unlocked the corrupted version.
  • Fixed a bug where player's daily login streaks would be incorrectly reset under rare circumstances.
  • The monkey cape variants now have a +2 range strength bonus, similar to the regular max/completionist monkeys.
  • Fixed a bug where pies did not give any cooking experience.
  • Fixed a bug where scrolling on an interface using the mouse wheel would sometimes cause the game to zoom out.
  • Fixed bugged wall textures in the donator zone on 2010 mode 117 HD.
  • Fixed a bug with the double fishing spot graphic on 2010 mode at Tempoross.
  • Fixed a bug where the Armadyl godsword special attack graphic would be bugged when switching from 2010->2007 mode.
  • Removed a custom mechanic that only drained amulet of blood fury charges on successful hits.
    • This was an obscure/confusing mechanic on the blood fury meant to act as a buff for the item when it initially released and had a 10% chance to heal 10% of the hit.
      • Now that this amulet has a 20% chance to heal 30%, it no longer needs this buff.
• Quality of Life:
  • King Black Dragon will no longer deal damage through melee protection prayer when attacking with his Melee attack.
  • Players will now stop burning Karambwans at level 99 cooking.
  • The wilderness swords 1/2/3/4 can now cut webs while in the player's inventory.

  • The Chaos Elemental Slayer task will no longer be assigned as a boss task by Nieve/Konar.

Welcome to the Alora family, Niels!

It's actually a bug that you can buy back the wilderness sword 4 from the reclaimables shop at all. Most other Achievement items must be re-purchased from the achievement store when lost on death, so I'll make the necessary changes to the Wilderness sword 4/Varrock armour 4.

Your suggestion has been accepted.

I've just looked into it, and it seems Black Chinchompas are indeed lacking a ranged strength bonus, so I'll add that in for this update. :)

Your suggestion has been accepted.

The Scythe should hit up to 3 npc's on the 3 tiles in front of the player (2-3 times for larger npcs, depending on their size and location). If this isn't working as intended, then you would need to detail which aspect isn't working in a bug report.

Your suggestion has been declined, if you feel this was wrongfully done please contact a Forum Moderator+.

Can you provide more details and highlight exactly what would be different?
