Omicron

 
Hello everyone,
 
We are back with another update, today's being larger than usual to catch up on some content that we missed while we were working on Sailing. We've got a ton of new features to keep you busy, including Wyrmscraig -- a new island to explore -- and Vampyrium, the world of vampires. Both of these areas have new bosses, new skilling methods and new items to obtain. We also have a bunch of miscellaneous content that will improve your experience on Alora, ranging from a new bank loadout interface primarily released with mobile players in mind, as well as rune pouch loadouts, a party room (in preparation for our 10th anniversary), a Theatre of Blood scoreboard, and the ability to buy & sell items above max GP on the Trading Post. 
 
There's to much content to cover in just one paragraph, so we'll let you have a read for yourself below before hopping online:

• Rune Pouch Interface:
  • The Rune Pouch interface has been updated to use the latest from OSRS, which includes the "1, 5, X and All" buttons at the bottom to save the amount of runes you want to store / withdraw.
  • Pouch Loadouts:
    • You can now click the "Configure" option while you are in the bank, and set custom Rune Pouch loadouts to easily withdraw the runes you need for a certain activity.
      • You can choose from a list of different names for the loadout, ranging from "Abyssal Sire", to "Hunter", to "PvP Ice Burst".
• Bank Loadouts / Presets:
  • A "Loadout" button has been added to the top-right of the bank interface to allow you to create inventory/equipment presets to quickly withdraw your pre-defined gear and inventory, as well as a spellbook of your choosing. This is primarily for mobile players who do not have access to the RuneLite plugin, but will work on all platforms.
    • You can store a maximum of 30 different loadouts, and set a custom name and item icon for each load out.
    • If you are wearing gear and already have items in your inventory, they will be deposited when you gear-up with a load out.
    • If you are missing certain items from the loadout in your bank, everything except for those items well be withdrawn / equipped.
    • The load out will be saved with your current spellbook, though this can be changed later on via a drop-down menu.
      • The only spellbook that cannot be selected manually later is Arceuus, this must be the spellbook you are on when you first create the loadout.
    • The value of your selected load-out is also shown on the interface.
    • You can also right-click any bank booth in-game to use the "Loadout" option.
• Party Room:
  • The Grand Exchange Rooftop now doubles as a Party Room!
    • You can now fill the Party chest with items to add to the drop party, but keep in mind once you hit "Confirm" there is no returning your items.
      • Ironman may deposit items, but cannot loot items from the balloons.
    • Notes:
      • Up to 216 items may be deposited into the chest.
      • Multiple max stack items (eg. 2.147b GP) can be deposited.
      • Stackable items with high value will be split into multiple balloons based on the following thresholds:
        • 5m, split two ways
        • 10m, split three ways
        • 25m, split four ways
        • 50m, split five ways
        • 100m -> 6 ways
        • 250m -> 8 ways
        • 1b -> 12 ways
        • 2b -> 16 ways
      • Balloons may contain multiple items if there are > 200 items in the chest, or if there are high value stacks split into portions.
      • Up to 200 balloons will drop, based on the number of items in the chest (approximately ~4 balloons per item in the chest).
        • If you only have 10 items in the chest, approximately 40 balloons will appear.
      • Balloons will despawn if not popped within 3 minutes, thereby returning items to the chest for the next drop party.
      • Pulling the lever costs 10k GP, and once pulled the time before the balloons start dropping is based on the total chest value:
        • Less than 1B = 60 seconds
        • 1-2B = 2 minutes
        • 3-4B = 3 minutes
        • 5B = 4 minutes
        • Every 2B added after this adds another minute, up to 10 minutes max (eg. 7B = 5 minutes)
      • If the chest value is more than 1B, the drop party will be announced to the world.
• Wyrmscraig:
  • Players can now dock their boats at one of the two docks in Wyrmcraig.
    • The first is on the north part of the island, requiring 62 sailing.
    • The second requires sailing a skiff/raft into the passageway on the south-west part of the island, entering the Wyrmscraig cavern.
      • This also requires level 62 sailing.
  • Golem Crafting:
    • Golem crafting is a new crafting activity players can take part in, requiring level 60 crafting.
      • Players will need to mine the nearby sunstone rocks to obtain sunstones used for crafting.
        • Players can do this by either mining the sunstone monolith (slower, afk), or the sunstone rocks (faster, more click intensive).
          • The sunstone rocks have a momentum mechanic, where the chance of successfully mining when moving to another rock within 5 ticks is greatly increased.
        • Once players have their sunstones, they can interact with the nearby plinth, using a chisel and hammer to shape the golem.
          • This requires carving the north, east, south, and west sides of the golem.
        • Finally, players must complete the golem by decorating it with hunter furs, and inserting the sunstone core (made by chiseling sunstone) into it.
          • It will then awaken, leave it’s plinth, and then die rather quickly, dropping a gem.
            • There is a small chance that Jeweller’s chisel is dropped.
              • This is a new type of chisel that provides a 10% chance to cut two gems at once (applying to bolt tips as well).
              • It can be stored in the POH magic wardrobe.
    • Players can use the Golem Crafting plugin-hub plugin to help them.
  • Goat Hunting:
    • Goat hunting is a new interactive hunter method, which involves herding goats into a pit to trap them.
      • This activity requires level 60 hunter to do.
    • To begin, players must grab some spikes from the nearby supply, and line the goat pit with the spikes to trap the goats.
      • To lure the goats into the pit, players can use a cattleprod to prod them in the direction of the pit, or, more commonly (and recommended), players can stand in an area where the pit is between them and the goat(s) they want to lure, and use the telekinetic grab or dark lure spell to lure the goats rapidly.
      • Eventually the pit will fill up, and players will need to collect the goat remains.
        • The max capacity of the pit is decided based on hunter level.
          • 60-68 hunter: 16 goats
          • 69-76 hunter: 18 goats
          • 77-84 hunter: 20 goats
          • 85-92 hunter: 22 goats
          • 93-99 hunter: 24 goats
        • Players have a chance to obtain the Mr. McGroot goat pet when collecting goat remains.
    • Players can use the “Goat Pit Indicators” plugin-hub plugin to help them.
  • Mad Angel:
    • This is a new boss, residing in the church at the top of the hill.
      • Players can enter the church and awaken the mad angel to fight it.
    • Noteworthy Rewards:
      • Jar of Light:
        • This is a new jar that players can setup in their POH jar display.
      • Aggy:
        • This is the new boss pet for the Mad Angel.
      • Hallowfell:
        • This is a new two-handed sword that requires level 75 attack to wield.
          • It has a passive effect which allows it to damage up to two additional unique enemies for up to 50% of the player’s maximum hit.
            • The affected tiles are the 5 tiles next to the player in their line of sight.
              • For example, if a player is facing north, the affected tiles are east, north-east, north, north-west, and west.
  • Mortimer:
    • Mortimer is a new slayer master, found in Wyrmscraig Cavern.
      • Players must have either a combat level of 100 and a slayer level of 70, or 99 slayer to get a task from mortimer.
    • By default, mortimer does not provide any slayer points for completing a task.
    • Mortimer also has a different task list from other slayer masters, only assigning monsters that have a superior variant.
    • Mortimer is different from other slayer masters, since rather than assigning players their next slayer task directly, he will give players a choice of up to 3 potential tasks to choose from.
      • These 3 tasks will each have a “Mortifier” which can alter the task in some way.
      • Mortifiers:
        • Slayer point modifier (No streak):
          • This will provide players with a certain amount of slayer points upon completing the task.
        • Task Quantity Modifier (No streak):
          • This will randomly increase/decrease the task quantity by a certain amount.
        • Clue scroll Modifier (15 task streak):
          • Clue scroll drop rates will be increased by a certain amount.
        • Superior Drop Rate Modifier (25 task streak):
          • Modifies the unique drop table rate for superior slayer encounters.
        • Slayer XP Modifier (40 task streak):
          • Slayer creatures will award more experience per kill.
        • Third Task Choice (50 task streak):
          • Players will be able to choose from 3 task choices rather than 2.
    • Mortimer slayer task streaks are unique, so they are not tracked the same as regular slayer task streaks.
• Vampyrium:
  • Maggot King:
    • Players can enter the maggot king’s lair through the entrance in the forest east of Sangvesti.
    • The maggot king is a level 741 boss which can be fought in a split arena, where players will need to use range/mage for a portion of the fight to attack the boss.
    • Once the boss is killed, players can choose the “Open-stomach” option to roll the normal drop table, or the “Take-eggs” option, sacrificing their normal drops for a chance to receive maggot eggs.
      • There are 6 types of maggot eggs, each with a different chance of obtaining the Maggot Marquess pet when popping them.
    • Noteworthy Rewards:
      • Elder Venator Fang:
        • This can be chiseled into the Etched elder venator fang, an item which can be combined with the necklace of anguish to create the necklace of rupture.
          • The necklace of rupture is an upgraded version of the necklace of anguish, requiring level 90 hitpoints to equip. It offers an additional +5 ranged attack, +3 ranged strength, and +1 prayer bonus over the Necklace of Anguish.
      • Crimson Kisten:
        • This is a new two-handed spiked crush weapon, requiring level 60 attack and 85 strength to wield.
          • It has a special attack, consuming 50% special energy, which makes four accuracy rolls in a single hit.
            • The damage a player deals will depend on the number of successful rolls. If one roll succeeds, players deal 70-110% of their maximum hit. If all four rolls succeed, players will deal 130-170% of their maximum hit.
      • Maggot Marquess:
        • This is the new boss pet for the Maggot King.
  • Stymphike hunting:
    • Players with level 82 hunter can now hunt Stymphikes.
    • This is a new semi-afk hunter method, which is rather simple and easy to engage in.
      • To begin, players can grab make-shift spears from the nearby pile, which they’ll need to hunt the Stymphikes.
      • Players must first click on the Stymphike tree to bait it with a Letvek (1-3 are removed for bait), which can be caught elsewhere in Vampyrium (see below).
        • One baited, players can hide in a nearby bush, and wait about 42 seconds for the stymphike to appear, after which the player will automatically kill it, obtaining some hunter experience.
          • A smaller amount of hunter experience will also be gained every so often while waiting in the bush.
  • Letvek hunter:
    • Players can now catch Letvek’s using box traps.
      • They require level 76 hunter to catch, and provide 209 base hunter experience.
  • Leechfin fishing:
    • On the eastern docks, on the blood river of Vampiryum, there are 2 new fishing spots for leech fin fishing.
      • This is a new highly click intensive fishing method, where leechfin will swim downriver towards the player, and they must move their net in one of 3 directions to try and catch the leech fin.
        • Catching a leech fin provides 33 base fishing experience, and 3 base fishing experience on a failed catch.
        • Once players have a full inventory, they will not be able to catch anymore leechfin, so they’ll need to cut them with a knife.
          • This provides 2 base cooking experience, and has a 1/3 chance to give the player a blood sac, an item that can be used to fill vials of blood.
  • Bloodwood trees:
    • There are two types of new trees player can chop.
    • Engorged Bloodwood tree:
      • This is an afk bloodwood tree, which requires the player to chop it for a certain amount of time, until the blood bar fills up on the tree.
        • Once the blood bar fills up, the player can interact with the engorged tree again to train the blood into a bucket, obtaining a bucket of bloodwood sap.
          • Players may occasionally receive a letvek in a bucket, which will need to be released before they can continue draining the tree/chopping it.
        • Successful chops are attempted every few ticks, with a higher likelihood of success for higher woodcutting levels/better axes.
          • On a successful chop, the player will obtain 165 base woodcutting experience, and the progress bar will increase.
    • Normal Bloodwood tree:
      • When a player begins chopping this tree, instead of just clicking once and waiting, players will need to click on their character twice to pull back their axe, and then click on the tree to chop it.
        • Depending on the player’s woodcutting level and axe, they will need to do this 18-32 times before they can tap the tree.
          • Once the tree is ready to be tapped, players will need to wait for the sap to drain into the bucket, tapping it with their axe occasionally to release more sap.
            • Once it’s been fully tapped, players can collect the bucket of bloodwood sap and chop the tree again.
    • Players can use buckets of bloodwood sap on logs, or existing arrows, to create sap-treated logs/seeking arrows.
      • A sap-treated log can be fletched into seeking arrow shafts, which can be later used to create seeking arrows.
      • Using the bucket of sap on already made arrows will result in turning 15 arrows into seeking arrows.
        • This is, therefore, not the most efficient way to make seeking arrows, when compared to the 105 seeking arrow shafts received from fletching a sap-treated redwood log.
      • Once a player has a sap-treated log, the process of making the seeking arrows is exactly the same as normal arrows.
        • Seeking arrows are the exact same as their normal equivalent, but they provide an additional +20 range attack bonus.
  • Players must have the requirements to enter Darkmeyer if they wish to access the Vampyrium.
    • This means having 62 woodcutting, 60 fletching, 56 crafting, 52 agility, 50 attack, 50 slayer, 49 magic, and 4 quest points.
  • Venators:
    • Venators are a new slayer creature that require level 74 slayer to kill.
      • Players can kill these on a Venator or Vampyre slayer task.
        • They can also be killed off-task, however players must trade in Stymphike feathers to Aranei to do so, requiring 30 feathers per kill.
    • Mechanics:
      • Venators are the only npc that can spawn a superior encounter without being on a slayer task.
      • They attack with range/melee, depending on which they are in range for.
        • Superior encounters will follow players closely.
        • Their melee attacks can hit reduced damage through prayer, healing the venators for the damage dealt.
      • Every 5 attacks, they will use a special attack that will damage the user 2/3 times (depending on if they have earmuffs/a slayer helmet equipped) if they have overhead prayers activated.
        • The damage is reduced if the players have ear protection.
  • Efaritay’s aid:
    • Players can now make Efaritay’s aids by enchanting topaz rings.
    • These aids have 200 charges, and provide a 10% damage boost and 15% accuracy boost.
      • They also allow players to hit tier 2 or lower vampyres without a vampyrebane weapon (50% reduced damage).
  • Players can no longer damage Vampyres without a vampyrebane weapon.
  • The rate of obtaining the Blisterwood flail from pyramid plunder is now 1/200 rather than 1/1000.
  • Players can purchase the Sunspear from the vote shop for 300 vote points.
    • The sunspear is a new vampyrebane spear, with a special attack that consumes 50% special energy, which guarantees (on a succesful hit) that the player will deal 70% of their maximum hit.
      • If the victim’s current health is less than 70% of the player’s maximum hit, the attack will roll with 70% of it’s maximum accuracy (rather than rolling between 1->max).
    • If a Venator is finished off with the special attack of this weapon, the player will be given a Venator heart, which they are able to sacrified at the araneid shrine to restore 50% special attack energy and up to 24 prayer points (depending on their prayer level).
  • Players can purchase the Hallowed flail from the Loyalty shop for 35,000 loyalty points.
    • Players must also trade in the Silver Sickle [b] for the ability to buy this flail (this must only be done once).
    • The Hallowed flail is an upgraded version of the silver sickle [b], it can be used to cast bloom, for clue steps, and it can be stored in the POH toy box (not recommended for children under the age of 12).
  • Blisterwood stakes:
    • Players can now fletch blisterwood stakes from blisterwood logs.
      • These stakes are vampyrebane throwing knives that provide a 25% boost to accuracy/damage against vampyres.
  • Mortimer is the only slayer master that will directly assign Venators as a task, but players can kill Venators if they have a Vampyre slayer task.
    • Konar will also assign a task for Vampyres in the Vampirism.
• Website:
  • Hiscores page loading time has been significantly improved.
  • By default, hiscores will now include ALL game modes, rather than just normal players.
    • For clarity, the players' individual rank colors and icons will be applied to their names.
  • Hueycoatl + Royal Titans have been added to the Boss hiscores.
  • XP rates will be shown on pages that include variable rates (only for skilling, not for bosses etc).
• After repeated complaints from the Sailor’s of Port Sarim, the jail has been moved to the dungeons of Trollheim.
• Divine Donator Perk Updates:
  • Drop rate boost increased from 21% to 23%
  • Automatic noted collecting of crops while farming.
  • Non-wilderness and non-PvP deaths will no longer result in players losing items.
    • They will simply respawn in Edgeville with all of their gear/equipment.
    • Players can turn this feature off by speaking to the donation manager in edgeville bank.
    • This feature does not apply at Nex/Zulrah/Nightmare.
  • The plank make spell will now make the entire inventory worth of planks.
• Cannonball smithing:
  • Players can now smith Bronze/Iron/Mithril/Adamant/Rune cannonballs.
• 2008 HD plugin changes:
  • 2008 HD now uses more similar sunrise/sunset to the new 117HD day/night cycles.
    • The night time mode also has options for Aurorae and nebulae.
  • Fixed a bug with white textures for the Ironwood tree.
  • The 2008 HD plugin now has an xBR scaling option for players who use stretched mode.
  • Added a Rainstorm weather option which is much heavier rain.
  • Added a checkbox option for lightning that can be toggled on and off for rainy weather modes.
  • Fixed a few issues with stretched mode not resizing properly.
  • Fixed a bug where the droplet rings when the rain hit the ground was not drawing at the correct height.
• 117 HD Plugin Changes:
  • The 117 HD plugin has been updated to include the new Day/night cycles in the config.
    • Players can go through the settings to adjust which time of day they want it to be, how they want the sky to look during that time of day, and how long they want their day/night cycles to last, along with a few other settings.
• Summer Sweep Up:
  • Logs will now automatically be removed from the player’s log basket if possible when setting up pitfall and deadfall traps.
    • This will only happen if the player has no logs in their inventory.
  • Players can now obtain the necklace of fangs from Turoths.
  • Players can now create elemental amulets.
    • There are 5 types, air, water, fire, earth, and elemental.
      • Air/Water/Fire/Earth are made by combining 100 of that specific type of rune, an amulet of magic, and the corresponding gem type.
        • Air Diamond:
          • This is the gem used to make the amulet of air, which is dropped by killerwatts.
        • Water Sapphire:
          • This is the gem used to make the amulet of water, which is dropped by sea snake hatchlings.
        • Earth Emerald:
          • This is the gem used to make the amulet of earth, which is dropped by Molanisks.
        • Fire Ruby:
          • This is the gem used to make the amulet of fire, which is dropped by Infernal Mages.
      • The Elemental Amulet can be made by combining all 4 amulets, with 500 of each elemental rune.
    • Elemental amulets provide +10 magic accuracy, and increase the maximum hit of corresponding elemental spells by 2.
      • The elemental amulet increases the max hit of all elemental spells by 2.
• Slayer Shop Changes:
  • The Zamorakian spear has been removed from the slayer shop.
  • The Air Diamond/Water Sapphire/Earth Emerald/Fire Ruby have been added to the slayer shop for 50 points each.
• Salvaging Changes:
  • Salvaging spots now last 50% longer.
• Bank Space Increase:
  • All players will now receive an extra 100 bank spaces.
    • Divine donators receive an extra 144 bank spaces.
• Random Event Changes:
  • Players will now receive a unique random event that they don’t currently have anywhere (in their costume room/bank/etc…).
    • If a player has all of the random event items, they will instead receive an experience lamp that gives them 10x their current level in experience.
• Theatre of Blood Scoreboard:
  • The scoreboard outside of the theatre of blood will now show the personal bests/global bests for different team sizes in both hardmode/normal theatre of blood.
    • It will also track personal and global deaths/attempts/completions.
    • These stats were not previously tracked, so most stats will be starting fresh as of this update.
• Line of Sight/Attack Timing Changes:
  • The player will now attempt to attack with mage/range the moment they step into line of sight.
    • Previously, the player’s attack would be delayed by 1 tick when, for example, coming around an object.
      • The attack will now come off the tick the player arrives at the tile that has line of sight, so one-tick sooner.
        • The target will still be able to attack players back.
  • Fixed a bug where if a player started combat with a manual cast, and the next attack was an auto-cast, they would suffer the extra 1 tick delay that was reserved for starting combat with an Autocast.
    • The delay will now only apply to starting combat with an Autocast spell (this includes re-attacking after walking/running away from your target).
  • Fixed a bug where the Harmonised nightmare staff would cast at 4 tick speed when manually casting.
    • This is supposed to only apply to autocasting.
    • The Harmonised nightmare staff can also now only autocast with the normal spellbook.
  • Fixed a bug where manual casting would apply the 1-tick Autocast delay if the player had a staff with an auto-cast spell selected when starting combat.
• Quality of Life:
  • Updated spawns in the Piscatoris falconry area.
    • They now match OSRS, with the addition of a few extra custom spawns.
  • Adjusted the size of the high-detail HP bar to be smaller.
  • Players can now teleport out of the Ourania ZMI altar.
  • The Trading Post will now allow you to price and purchase items that exceed max cash stack (2.147m).
    • This means you can price items such as the Scythe of Vitur for 4b, for example, or a $150 Rank ticket for 3b.
    • It also means that when purchasing items, the Trading Post will first use any GP in your inventory to cover the costs, and then will convert any platinum in your inventory to cover the remainder.
      • This also works for purchasing multiple items when the price is < max cash, for example buying 3 x Twisted bows for 2b each, if you have 6b platinum (or max cash + 4b platinum) you are able to make the purchase. 
  • Resting QoL:
    • When resting to restore energy and then clicking somewhere to walk, your player will now actually walk there after standing up.
    • Similarly, you can now perform many activities while resting which the game will remember once you stand up, such as:
      • Picking up items
      • Interacting with NPCs
      • Interacting with objects
  • The “Last-destination” option when using the Quetzal transport now works properly.
  • Abyssal Lanterns can now be stored in the POH magic wardrobe.
  • Players who have completed the master Combat Achievements tier can now consume the Ghommal’s lucky penny so that the penny’s effects are always active.
    • If a player does not have the master tier completed anymore (due to new achievements coming out), the penny’s effects will not apply at all, under any conditions.
  • Removed some currently unobtainable paints from the collection log.
  • Added placeholders for the barrows pets/Gulliver/Open log basket.
  • Players can now store mining gloves in the Armour case.
  • Added Gryphon feathers and the horn of plenty to the slayer collection log entry.
  • Added the Bosun’s workbench schematic to the Sailing schematics collection log entry.
    • It will be automatically unlocked if you’ve already read/unlocked the schematic.
  • Players will now be warned when using a lever that will teleport them to the wilderness.
    • This warning can be permanently disabled.
  • Added sailing to the yellow spicy stew.
  • The chance of encounter the Clam ocean encounter has doubled from 6% to 12%.
  • The tome of earth will now revert to the “Tome of earth (empty)” when it has no pages/charges.
  • Interactions will no longer be blocked when players use the detached camera.
  • Adjusted aerial fishing spawns so that the east/west side are equal.
    • The east side previously had no close fish spawns.
  • Leaving hueycoatl will now  longer restore the player’s hitpoints and prayer.
  • The grotesque guardians exit/quick-exit options now work appropriately.
  • Players will now path in range of the item they used telekinetic grab on.
  • The barbarian rod has been added to the Standard Fishing Shop.
  • A permanent banker has been added to the Shipyard.
  • A permanent banker has been added near the Theatre of Blood notice board.
  • A permanent bank chest has been added near the entrance to the Doom of Mokhaiotl.
  • Two extra sloop cannon hotspots have been added, allowing players to build 2 cannons on the same side of the sloop.
    • Players can still only build at most 2 cannons on their sloop.
  • Updated the runelite Banked Experience plugin to have the latest relevant methods (and sailing) added.
  • Updated the runelite Skill Calculator plugin.
    • It should now have many more updated skilling methods, as well as the sailing skill added.
  • The stalls on Port Roberts no longer look empty when stolen from.
  • Audio will now use 16-bit precision.
    • This won’t change too much audibly, since our audio was already 16-bit, but it should clean things up a bit.

Hello everyone,

The time has finally come for players to set sail on the seas of Alora! After many months of working on our most challenging project yet, we are finally ready to go live with Alora's 24th skill, Sailing. We're proud to be the first RSPS to be able to provide this experience, and as always we will continue to strive to get the latest content released to you as quickly as we can.

You can now log in and begin Sailing by heading to Port Sarim where you will be given your starter raft to begin your journey as a sailor. As of right now, ship combat, trawling, and crew recruitment are not included in this update, but will come in a future update not too far off -- in the meantime, there is an abundance of content to get you started, including Courier tasks, Ocean encounters, Shipwreck Salvaging, Boat customization, Barracuda Trials & more!

In other news, we've released the long-awaited and highly-requested Cooking NPC (not a meme btw), we've upgraded the Cosmetic mystery box with a few new items, released a brand new Sailing mystery box for peak Fashionscape to go along with the Sailing release, and we've also released our final and highest Donator rank -- Divine Donator. We'll let you read the full update notes below:

• Sailing:
  • What is Sailing?
    • For those of you not in the know, Sailing is a new skill that requires players to build and customize their own boats, and take to the high-seas, engaging in various sea-worthy activities to earn experience and rewards.
  • Restrictions:
    • Players will not be able gain sailing experience through experience lamps, dark relics, or tears of guthix for the first week of release, until September 12th.
    • Mobile players who use the “Legacy renderer” will not be able to access this skill.
      • Any mobile player wishing to sail must turn the Legacy renderer off on the login screen.
  • Boat Types:
    • There are 3 types of boats:
      • Raft:
        • Rafts are the smallest type of boat which can hold only 1 facility at a time, and requires level 1 sailing to purchase.
      • Skiff:
        • Skiffs are a larger tier of boat which can hold up to 7 facilities at a time, and requires level 15 sailing to purchase.
      • Sloop:
        • Sloops are the larger tier of boat which can hold up to 11 facilities at a time, and requires level 50 sailing to purchase.
  • Plugins:
    • Players can access the Sailing plugin (both on mobile and desktop), as well as the port tasks, barracuda trials pathfinder, and turning circles plugins (desktop only).
  • Every player will start with a wooden raft, which they will automatically receive, and is docked at Port Sarim.
    • It’s not much, but this is where you’ll start your career as a sailor.
  • Players can earn experience through various methods:
    • Occasionally while sailing, your ship’s sails will begin to pick up gusts of wind. Clicking on your sails to trim them will provide a small amount of experience and boost your ship’s speed temporarily.
    • Salvaging:
      • Players will see many shipwrecks spread out around the seas.
        • There are 8 different types of shipwrecks that players can salvage, each providing their own unique type of salvage.
          • Players will likely start their journey by salvaging small shipwrecks for small salvage at level 15 sailing.
            • This will provide 10 experience per salvage obtained.
      • The shipwrecks players salvage will rotate to new positions every so often, so players may need to move their boats to new locations to continue collecting salvage.
      • Players must have a salvaging hook on their boat to collect salvage.
        • Salvage can be stored in a player’s cargo hold on their boat.
      • Once a player collects salvage, they can sort it at a sorting station for sailing experience and rewards, which can be found at many ports, or build right onto your ship.
      • For more details on shipwreck types/rewards we recommend checking out the OSRS wiki:
        • https://oldschool.ru...wreck_salvaging
    • Barracuda Trials:
      • Barracuda trials are races that players must complete to earn rewards/experience.
        • Each Barracuda trial has 4 difficulties to choose from.
          • Unranked:
            • There is no time to beat, and no pressure, but rewards and experience won’t be as good as higher tiers.
          • Swordfish:
            • This is the easiest/first timed trial. Once players beat the time required, they will be rewarded unique loot, bonus experience, and be given access to the next difficulty tier (Shark).
          • Swordfish:
            • This is the middle difficulty trial. Once players beat the time required, they will be rewarded unique loot, bonus experience, and be given access to the next difficulty tier (Marlin).
          • Marlin:
            • This is the hardest difficulty trial. Once players beat the time required, they will be rewarded unique loot, and a large amount of bonus experience.
          • Players can repeat the trials at any difficult they want, provided they have it unlocked.
      • All barracuda trials must be done on a Skiff, and with no other players on your ship.
      • There are 3 tiers of Barracuda trials:
        • The Tempor Tantrum:
          • This is the first Barracuda trial, which players can do at level 30 Sailing.
          • It takes place in the Storm Tempor, which will require boats to have an Iron helm, Oak masts, and linen sails at the minimum to sail through.
          • To begin, players must sail over to Rum-dashed Ralph and speak to him to start the race.
            • The goal of this race is to gather the required amount of lost supply crates by sailing near them.
              • Players will also need to pay a visit (or two) to the nearby rum boat to pickup the rum shipment.
                • Once players have collected the required amount of lost supplies/rum, they can deliver it to Rum-dashed Ralph to complete the trial.
        • The Jubbly Jive:
          • This is the second Barracuda trial, which players can do at level 55 sailing.
            • This takes place in the Backwater, which will require ships to have an inoculation station, and mithril helm (at least) to sail through.
          • To start the trial, speak to Gurtob and Ros.
            • The goal of this trial is similar, requiring players to also collect the correct amount of lost supplies, but at the same time players will need to collect specific Jubbly birds.
              • Jubbly birds are collected by luring them to various outcrops and baited them with balloon toads.
                • Balloon toads are obtained from a nearby supply boat.
                • Players can throw balloon toads at the outcrops to lure nearby bubbly birds.
            • The Backwater is littered with fetid pools which will drastically slow down ships if they are not being boosted by gusts of wind.
        • The Gwenith Glide:
          • This is the third and final Barracuda trial, which players can do at level 72 Sailing.
            • This takes place in crystal waters near Port Gwenith, requiring an Adamant keel (at least) to sail through.
          • To start this trial, speak to Gwyna.
            • The goal of this trial is to collect the required amount of lost supplies, as well as imbuing the correct Crystals of Ithell.
              • Once all the supplies are correct and all required crystals are imbued, players will be teleported to the start point and complete the race.
    • Courier Tasks:
      • Every major port will have a port task board, which players can interact with.
        • On these boards, players will see various tasks to deliver crate shipments to/from the dock they’re currently at.
          • If a task is accepted, players can grab the crates from the Ledger table and store them in their cargo hold.
            • Some tasks will require players to take/deliver multiple crates at a time, and so players may have crewmates helping them load and unload crates depending on their sailing level and boat type.
              • At most 2 crewmates will help players on skiffs.
              • At most 5 crewmates will help players on sloops.
              • The amount of crewmates that help players will depend on if they have the sailing level to hire that crewmate:
                • https://oldschool.ru...Crew_Management
            • Completing deliveries will reward players with a certain amount of sailing experience based on the distance travelled and level required for the task, and a small amount of gold.
        • Task boards also have a refresh option, where players can refresh the visible tasks on the board if they do not like any of them.
          • This defaults to 3 resets every hour, but more resets are given based on donator rank.
            • Eternal: Unlimited
            • Immortal: 25
            • Master: 20
            • Uber: 15
            • Legendary: 12
            • Extreme: 8
            • Super: 5
            • Regular donator: 4
          • Players can also force a task reset by visiting a different task board at a different port.
        • Players can freely cancel tasks that they took that they no longer wish to complete.
    • Charting:
      • Sea charting is an activity players can perform as they sail throughout the seas.
        • In your cargo hold, you’ll be able to grab an item called the “Captain’s log”.
          • This will be your guide to sea charting, as it help you keep track of all the tasks you’ve completed/need to complete in any given sea.
      • There are a total of 358 charting tasks, and completing all of them gives 100,000 base sailing experience.
        • Each tasks also give some sailing experience, with bonuses being provided when completing all the tasks in a given sea.
          • Completing all the tasks will give players a combined total of 691,270 sailing experience.
      • There are multiple types of charting tasks players can do:
        • Generic charting: This requires charting an object on land or by boat (mostly by boat), simply by interacting with it.
        • Spyglass: This requires sailing to a specific point, and using your spyglass (which can be obtained from the cargo hold) to get a good view of the area.
        • Crates: Players will find sealed crates and must open them and sample their contents:
          • WARNING: some of drinks that come out of these crates may be very dangerous.
            • Players will be warned before drinking them.
        • Diving: This will require players to answer a riddle to get help from a mermaid.
        • Weather: This requires players to help meteorologist trolls chart the weather.
        • Current Duck: This requires players to release a current duck (found in their cargo hold) and follow it to its end point to chart the current.
  • Ocean Encounters:
    • These are effectively ocean “random events”. They appear every so often as long as boat is moving.
    • Types of ocean encounters:
      • Strong winds:
        • When sailing into the strong winds, a player can trim their sails repeatedly for additional speed and experience.
      • Mysterious glow:
        • Sailing over the mysterious glows will spawn a new mysterious glow a few tiles away, giving increasingly more Sailing experience and rewarding an uncut gem after the final glow.
      • Lost Crate:
        • Lost crates can occasionally be found floating in the water and can be collected. There are multiple tiers of crates, scaling with the player's Sailing level, with increasingly valuable loot.
      • Castaway:
        • Castaways can be retrieved, then dropped off at a gangplank or mooring point for an experience reward.
      • Giant Clam:
        • A giant clam can be fed an item, then the next time it is encountered it will have polished that item into a pearl that can be harvested.
      • Clue Turtle:
        • Retrieving clue turtles will give a player a clue scroll.
      • Ocean Man:
        • When spoken to, Ocean Man will give the player a cocktail. Fun!
      • Lost Casket:
        • Lost caskets can be retrieved that give a single roll of the reward casket of the respective tier.
    • These encounters are not all equally likely, some encounters (such as strong winds) will appear much more frequently than others.
  • Boat customization:
    • Players can speak to a Shipwright to customize their boats at any time.
      • Shipwright seb is around to sell players various things they may need to upgrade their ship.
    • Players can use the Boat schematics board to upgrade/downgrade core boat components, such as their hull, helm, mast and sails, and keel.
      • Players can also recolour their sails, but this will require 10 of a specific color of dye.
        • Dyes will be obtainable through sorting salvage, barracuda trials, and courier tasks.
          • The rates of obtaining dyes vary on the difficulty/tier/duration of the tasks.
      • Players will require a specific construction and sailing level to upgrade certain boat components.
        • If a player does not have the required construction level, a shipwright can be paid a fee to apply the changes for you in certain cases.
    •  To upgrade boat facilities, players must be on their boat (which will be docked in the shipyard).
      • Similar to construction, players can click hotspots to build or upgrade their facilities.
        • Players can also use facility bottles to store a facility to easily move it (or store it for later) without destroying it and losing the materials.
    • Some facilities/upgrades will be locked behind specific item requirements, or schematics that the players must hunt for on various islands.
  • Islands:
    • There are over 27 new dockable islands that players can reach, each of them holding something unique.
      • Most islands have a specific sailing requirement to dock your boat, as well as potentially being in hazardous waters, which will require specific boat upgrades to survive in.
  • Unavailable content:
    • As of right now, ship combat, trawling, and crew recruitment are not included in this update, but will come in a future update not too far off.
  • And much more!
    • There’s a lot of content in this new skill, and plenty to discover, so rather than write you a book, we’ll let you explore it on your own.
• Cooking NPC:
  • After many, many, long awaited years, the cooking npc has finally arrived.
  • The head chef in the cooking guild will now cook noted raw food for players for a fee.
    • To do so, players must have level 99 cooking, and have completed the Lumbridge & Draynor elite diaries as well as the Varrock elite diaries.
  • The cost to cook the food is by default 4,000 gold per food cooked.
    • Donators will have a lower cost to cook the food.
      • Divine Donators: 1,000 coins per food
      • Eternal Donators: 2,000 coins per food
      • Immortal Donators: 2,500 coins per food
      • Master donators: 2,750 coins per food
      • Uber Donators: 3,000 coins per food
      • Legendary Donators: 3,250 coins per food
      • Extreme Donators: 3,500 coins per food.
    • Furthermore, players who have 200 million cooking experience will receive a 50% discount on all cooked food, reducing the base cost per food cooked to 2,000 coins.
    • Ironman accounts will need to pay a higher premium of 6,000 coins per food as the base cost.
  • The cooking npc is fast, but he’s not magic.
    • He needs time to cook the food, so as it stands, he cooks one piece of food every 30 seconds.
      • He can also only accept up to 1,000 noted food of one type at a time, so orders cannot be stacked, and players will need to regularly pop in to collect their cooked food and put in a new order.
      • This means, if a player puts in a maximum quantity order (for example 1,000 raw sharks), it would take the cooking npc 8 hours and 20 minutes to finish cooking all the fish. 
• Summer Sweep Up:
  • Reduced Chivalry's drain rate to match Deadeye and Mystic Vigour, draining 1 point per 3 seconds.
  • Lowered the Light & Heavy Ranged Defence for Abyssal Guardians and Abyssal Walkers to 0, down from 70 and 75 respectively.
  • Lowered the Crush Defence for Abyssal Guardians to 0, down from 70.
  • When adding logs to a bonfire, if the player has only one type of log they will no longer get the skilling input, it will just add the logs right away.
  • Chambers of Xeric Rare Drop Rebalancing:
    • Changes have been made to how rare items are rolled once the purple drop table has been rolled.
      • It now looks like this:
        • https://imgur.com/tsBhbXE
    • The changes essentially boil down to making some items that were far more common, such as dragon claws, elder maul, and korai insignia slightly less common and bump up some items that were less common, such as the twisted bow and ancestral items.
    • The chance to hit the rare table and obtain a purple chest has not been changed.
  • The Colossal worm agility course agility obstacles now take more time.
    • The advanced course takes about ~40% longer, while the basic course is about 25% longer to make it more AFK.
      • To compensate for this, the experience gained at the end of the course has been increased, as well as the number of termites/bone shards.
  • Bird houses:
    • Number of rolls for nests from all tiers of birdhouse lowered from 10 to 5.
      • The rate of nests has been increased by 3x though, so players are more likely to get them than before.
    • XP Changes (nerfs):
      • Regular birdhouse XP decreased by 60%.
      • Oak birdhouse XP decreased by 60%.
      • Willow birdhouse XP decreased by 60%.
      • Teak birdhouse XP decreased by 60%.
      • Maple birdhouse XP decreased by 55%.
      • Mahogany birdhouse XP decreased by 50%.
      • Yew birdhouse XP decreased by 40%.
      • Magic birdhouse XP decreased by 15%.
      • Redwood birdhouse XP unchanged.
  • Falconry:
    • Players will no longer be locked when their falcon has left their arm to catch a kebbit.
  • Aerial Fishing:
    • Increased the “Quick catch” distance from a 5x5 area to a 7x7 area.
    • Players can now unlock the ability for their cormorant to eat whole fish, rather than requiring fish offcuts.
      • To unlock this, speak to Alry the angler and pay him 20 molch pearls.
    • Molch pearls are now 50% more common.
  • Deadfall traps:
    • Players can now set 2 deadfall traps at a time rather than 1.
    • Deadfall traps now have a 75% chance to preserve your log when placing a trap.
    • Experience gained from Wild/barbed/prickly/sabre-toothed kebbits, and pyre foxes have been reduced.
  • The drop rate for butterfly hunter rumour parts is now twice as high, 1/40 up from 1/75.
  • Guardians of the Rift:
    • The abyssal needle can now be purchased from the shop for 750 Abyss pearls.
    • The abyssal lantern’s extra rune bonuses now work outside the minigame as well.
  • Removed the herblore requirement on the Reagent pouch.
• Gpu Plugin/117HD Particles:
  • The particle engine has been extended to the Gpu and 117HD plugins.
  • The particle toggle has been removed from the 2008 HD plugin, and will instead be in the “Gameplay” tab of the settings interface.
• Native HD Changes:
  • Improved performance of the Native HD plugin, players should see higher FPS across the board.
  • Added a setting called “Old school visuals” which keeps the LD/GPU plugin oldschool look while taking advantage of the native HD open GL renderer.
    • This will allow players who prefer the old school look to have it while also having access to particles, hd water/lava, weather, dynamic skybox, etc…
    • Many settings which are controlled/disabled will be hidden in the Alora Client Settings plugin when this setting is enabled.
  • Fixed some visual issues, such as equipment clipping.
  • Added a setting for Anisotropic filtering to clean up textures, especially at far away distances.
  • The “2010” mode now has much better equipment mapping.

  • Camera zooming is now much, much, smoother on both the mobile and desktop clients.
  • Players can now log back into their accounts on mobile if their account is in mobile “Idle” state.
    • This may happen after a disconnection or if the player force closes the client.
    • As always, if the player is in combat with a player or NPC in the wilderness, it will be treated as an X-Log, and the player will not be able to log back in until the X-log timer kicks the player off.
  • Building a vale totem now restores 15% run energy.
  • Players must now only have a demonbane weapon equipped at the time of Skotizo's death, rather than for the entire kill to complete the Demonbane Weaponry combat achievement.

    • Players can speak the “The collector” in Edgeville to add the pet to their log if they obtained it before this update.

  • A bug where your pet would go missing but then re-appear on login has been fixed -- it will no longer go missing at all.

• Divine Donator Rank:
  • A new Donator rank has been added! This is Alora's final donator rank, representing a level of prestige higher than the previous rank, with a total spent of $50,000 required to obtain it. Not many will be able to obtain this rank, adding to its elusiveness, and the perks will reflect the difficulty of obtaining this rank. For players who are interested in only obtaining the rank and not any store items, there is the 1:4 custom donation option, which will allow you to upgrade to the new rank at 25% of the price.
  • Perks:
    • Forum:
      • Unlimited storable PMs
      • Profile pictures (animated) can be up to 7.5mb.

        • 20% increased chance of receiving pets from skilling / bosses. (Rather than 15% for Eternal)
          • This 20% also applies when gambling your Fire cape or Infernal cape for a new pet.
      • Unique Benefits:
        • 25% extra time on all opened Booster scrolls (eg. Drop booster, Raid booster, etc)
        • Ability to set a custom color (HEX code) for your in-game title.
        • Ability to set a custom color (HEX code) for your skin color.
          • This gives you the ability to have any skin color you would like on your character, with millions of possibilities.
        • Custom yell tag:
          • You can now change the text that appears next to your yell, for example:
            • [Ironman] Omicron: Hello
            • [The Great] Omicron: Hello
          • The color of your tag will still match your rank and cannot be changed.
        • Custom pet names:

          • Maximum of 12 characters per pet name. (Same as Username)
        • No point loss on Raids death.
        • No kills required to enter a GWD boss room.

        • Divine donators will receive some upgraded items from the Kingdom of Miscellania.
          • Raw Anglerfish instead of raw sharks
          • Raw Manta rays instead of raw monkfish
          • Teak/Mahogany planks instead of teak/mahogany logs
        • Ghommal's Penny effect is automatically applied for donators as long as they have the penny in their bank -- it doesn't need to be equipped.
      • Rank transfers:
        • Similar to Eternal, Divines get unlimited rank transfers but with a shorter 30-day cooldown rather than 90.

• Store changes:
  • Sailing Mystery Box (Ironman accessible):
    • A new mystery box has been added!
      • Ahoy! With the release of Sailing, we've added a nautical-themed mystery box packed with pirate, sailor and beach cosmetics. As with the Cosmetic mystery box, Ironman/Realism modes can purchase this box, as it strictly contains cosmetics that do not provide an in-game advantage.
      • This box is also the only way (outside of Sailing itself) to get your hands on some of our custom sailing/beach items, such as the Clam shell backpack, Canoe, Hawaiian shirts and more!
      • Many different items can be obtained from the box, including:

          • Pirate gear of all kinds: Pirate/tricorn hats (all colours), eyepatches, bandanas, bandana eyepatches, stripy pirate shirts, pirate leggings

    • Notes:
      • This item is tradable.
      • Although it is intended for ironmen, it can also be purchased by normal game mode players.
  • Cosmetic Mystery Box Additions:
    • Four new tradable cosmetics have been added to the Cosmetic mystery box's "Rare" pool, the 2nd most common category:
      • Rainbow cape — a colourful cape constructed with beautiful rainbow fabrics
      • Rainbow crown shirt — can be swapped between 8 different variants
      • Rainbow jumper -- can be swapped between 9 different variants
      • Love crossbow -- wield it and use the "Enamor" option on another player to fire a volley of harmless hearts at them. Cannot be used in the wilderness.

As this is one of our largest updates yet, there are bound to be some bugs encountered. We'll be working around the clock to patch them up as quickly as possible, but we're relying on you to promptly report those bugs as well.


We hope you enjoy this update!

Best,
Omicron

 
Hello everyone,

As you already know, we have been working hard to bring Sailing to Alora, and we are approaching release! The date has been chosen: Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 5th, 2026.
 
In the meantime, we've got a bunch of other updates to improve your experience, namely an overhaul for the Native HD renderer in our client (the original HD experience from 2008 RS), which we've updated to include MacOS compatibility, improved performance, and all sorts of new features such as particles on capes, weather effects (rain / lightning), better quality water, a skybox, and more! We've also release a few new QoL / Content updates in-game, such as Barrows pets which act as an item sink, Minimal Mondays for faster clues once a week, the Summer Sweep-up changes from OSRS and more!

• Theatre of Blood Light Colors plugin:
  • You can now use the Tob Light Colors plugin, which recolors the purple glow around the Theatre of Blood unique chest and adds the Chambers of Xeric light beam above the chest.
• Minimal Mondays for Clue Scrolls:
  • Every Monday, you'll be able to complete Clue scrolls more quickly!
    • For Easy/Medium clues (between 2-5 steps), you have a 50% chance of reducing by 1 step.
    • For Hard/Elite/Master clues (between 4-8 steps), you have a guaranteed reduction of 1 step.
  • This event is automatic and you will be notified as soon as it turns on or off, as well as on login.
• Barrows pets:
  • Barrows pets are now obtainable! There is a 1/3,000 chance of obtaining the "Barrows slime" upon defeating any one of the bosses. The slime can follow you around, however you can also use any 3 x barrows set on the slime to unlock that variant of the pet.
    • For example, using 3 x Dharok's armor set on the Barrows slime will unlock Dharok jr. 
• Mobile Changes:
  • Mobile now uses a new z-buffer renderer.
    • This renderer should lead to higher FPS/better performance on most devices, as well as better battery life.
    • Players can still use the old renderer by toggling the “Legacy renderer” option on the login screen.
• Native HD Upgrades:
  • Completionist cape particle effects:
    • Completionist capes now all have a particle effect attached to them, which leave a gradient trail of particles behind the player.
      • Players can turn these particles off in the Alora Client Settings plugin config.
  • Texture restored:
    • For a while now, texture on objects, equipment, and NPCs has been missing. We've properly restored them so that the game feels far more high-definition.
  • MacOS Support:
    • Players on Mac OS can now use the native HD renderer. This applies to both older Macs using Intel chips, and newer Macs using Apple Silicon chips.
  • Weather effects:
    • You can select between Rain, Rain & Lightning, and Snow, which creates a nice atmosphere.
  • Skybox:
    • You can now enable a skybox with the sun, moon, clouds and stars visible. It will be synchronized with the time of day on your computer, and will take into account any weather effects for overcast (eg. Rain).
  • Environmental lighting:
    • Objects, NPCs, animations, graphics and projectiles will now light up their surroundings (eg. Torches, fires, lights, furnaces, etc) to provide a more immersive experience.
      • You can toggle the intensity of the lighting in the "Alora Client Settings" plugin on RuneLite, under the "Alora Native HD" section, or turn it off entirely.
  • Atmospheric lighting:
    • Separate from the environmental in a region, regions will now have their own "mood" with the sky, fog and overall lighting changing to match the area.
      • This can also be toggled for intensity (Off/Low/Med/High) in the same "Alora Client Settings" plugin.
  • "HD Textures on OSRS" Setting:
    • In the Alora Client Settings plugin, you can now toggle this option to apply HD textures on OSRS items / objects / NPCs.
      • This is still in early stages and is far from perfect, but will at least texturize the game a bit further.
  • Asynchronous region loading now works properly on HD.
  • Adjusted shadows so that they no longer show up on objects that are lower than a certain height, or sunk into the ground.
    • For example, visually flat objects, such as  seaweed would cast shadows.

    • https://i.imgur.com/B6hlnKI.jpeg

    • https://i.imgur.com/zZ8ULFP.jpeg
  • The Alora client settings plugin now allows players to set the shadow quality (None/Low/Medium/High), which will also affect performance.
  • Expanded region map loading has been added to native HD, and can be adjusted in the Alora client settings plugin.
    • The draw distance has now also changed from a cap of 90 to a cap of 184, and will no longer force the client into the “loading - please wait” state when changed.
  • FPS/performance has been increased quite a bit overall.
• Players can now have more than 1 seed pack at a time.
  • Seed packs can be obtained from completing farming guild contracts, trading in spirit seeds, purchasing them from castle wars, or last man standing.
    • Previously, players could only have 1 seed pack at a time.
      • Players can now have up to 256 at a time.
  • Opening seed packs now works more like wintertodt crates, where no given pack is unique, and seeds will be withdrawn in the order the packs were received.
    • For example, if a player received a hard seed pack, followed by a medium seed pack, they’ll have 2 identical seed packs in their inventory, but regardless of which pack is clicked, the hard seed pack rewards will be obtained first, followed by the medium seed pack rewards.
      • Players will now also be told which tier of seed pack they are getting seeds from.
• Summer Sweep Up Changes:
  • Gauntlet:
    • There's now a guaranteed random demi-boss spawn at the north/east/south/west-most rooms from the centre. Meaning four demi-bosses with fixed locations, but the specific demi-bosses that you encounter will still be random.
    • Demi-bosses have had their attack range reduced from 16 to 10.
    • Non-demi-boss enemies now have standardised defensive stats, meaning it's never better to kill a wolf over a scorpion, for example.
    • Weapon frames are guaranteed from your first 'low tier' NPC kill.
    • Phren Bark, Crystal Ore and Linum Tirinum are now stackable.
    • Crystal Shards are now automatically placed in your inventory. Additionally, the quantity dropped by enemies has a smaller range, so will feel much more consistent.
    • Crystal Shard costs for crafting various pieces of equipment have been adjusted:
      • Creating a Tier 1 weapon requires no Crystal Shards, down from 20. You'll still need a weapon frame.
      • Creating a Tier 2 weapon requires 50 Crystal Shards, down from 60.
      • Creating a piece of Tier 1 armour requires 50 Crystal Shards, up from 40.
      • Creating a piece of Tier 2 Body armour requires 100 Crystal Shards, up from 80. Creating a piece of Tier 2 Leg or Helmet armour requires 50 Crystal shards, down from 80.

  • Phantom muspah will no longer change phases until it has also been hit by the player at least 4 times.
  • Demonic Gorillas will no longer swap prayers until you've dealt damage at least 4 times, and dealt at least 70 damage with a style.
  • Demonic gorillas will also no longer swap to the same style they were just using.
  • Weapon Changes:
    • Sanguinesti Staff Changes:
      • Chance to heal increased to 1 in 5 (up from 1 in 6), deals 8 additional damage whenever the heal procs - this averages out to +1.6 damage per hit.
      • Base max hit increased by +1.
      • Charge cost reduced to 2 Blood runes per cast, down from 3. You should be refunded one Blood rune per charge upon logging in after the update. If your inventory is full then they'll go to your bank. If your bank is also full (or you're a UIM with a full inventory) then they'll drop on the ground.

    • Inquisitor changes (it wouldn't be a Summer Sweep-Up without Inquisitor changes)
      • Inquisitor's Great Helm gains +2 Crush accuracy and +2 Strength bonus, to match its Oathplate equivalent.
        • Additionally, provides a +0.5% bonus to Crush damage and Crush accuracy. This boost is no longer increased by a set effect or when using the Inquisitor's Mace specifically.
      • Inquisitor's Hauberk gains +4 Crush accuracy, to match its Oathplate equivalent.
        • Additionally, provides a +1% bonus to Crush damage and Crush accuracy, up from +0.5%. This boost is no longer increased by a set effect or when using the Inquisitor's Mace specifically.
      • Inquisitor's Plateskirt gains no Crush accuracy or Strength, since it already matches its Oathplate equivalent.
        • Additionally, provides a +1% bonus to Crush damage and Crush accuracy, up from +0.5%. This boost is no longer increased by a set effect or when using the Inquisitor's Mace specifically.
      • Inquisitor's Mace gains +7 Strength bonus and +7 Crush accuracy. This guarantees a max hit in all setups, and might add +2 max hits in some setups.

  • Players can now use a spade on a farming patch to clear the patch at any stage.
    • This will reset the patch, removing any planted seed, regardless of growth stage.

  • Giant Mole Donator Perk:
    • Mole part drops (skin, claws) from the Giant Mole will now have a chance to drop extras for Legendary+ donators, specifically to help Ironmen grind their brews.
      • Regardless of donator rank, there is a 25% chance of extra drops, and if you land it, all the skins / claws will be noted from that drop, with the range of extra items being:
        • Legendary: 1 extra
        • Uber: 1-2 extra
        • Master: 1-3 extra
        • Immortal: 2-3 extra
        • Eternal: 2-4 extra
      • The roll is separate per item dropped, so you could land it on both skins and claws, or one and not the other, or neither.
  • Players can now use the sand in the north section of the donator zone to fill up empty buckets.
  • Collection Log Drop Rates:
    • When clicking on an item in your collection log, it will now show you the drop rate for that item if possible.
      • This will only work for bosses (not raids, minigames, etc) with a few exceptions (eg. The Inferno, Fight Caves).
      • The rate will be unique to you at this current moment, not at the moment the drop was received. For example, if you have a Drop booster active and just upgraded your donator status, you will see a higher rate than when you received the drop.
  • Made the transparent chatbox use an opacity gradient rather than a uniform transparent shade of black.
    • Also made the line above the chatbox and above the username match, and also use the same opacity gradient.
    • Also added a bit more padding between the chat stones in resizable mode so that occupy a more similar width to the chatbox.
  • The whip idle animation on 2010 mode now uses the oldschool swinging whip animation.
  • The tears of guthix minigame will now always rotate the tears in the same order for GGGBBB, meaning the 3 green tears will change first, followed by the 3 blue tears.
  • Players will now continue to collect tears in the Tears of Guthix minigame until they click away or the minigame ends.
  • The dragonstone bolt (e) effect can now apply to NPC's.

  • Players can now light logs on the ground with a bow even if it is equipped.
  • Adjusted render priorities on LD/Native HD so that player equipment clips properly.
  • Announced loot from Guardians of the Rift will now show the amount of rift searches rather than the amount of rifts closed.
  • You can now "use" Elite partner swap tickets on Ironman accounts to trade the item over. 
  • Announced loot from Tempoross will now show the amount of pool searches rather than the amount of Tempoross completions.
  • Event Managers can now boost the drop rate for Desert Treasure 2 bosses up to 1.2x (20% easier).

  • Fixed a bug where the equipment inspector plugin’s total value would sometimes overflow, showing negative values.
  • Players can no longer get gap on an attacker when running from them in PvP if the attacker is manually casting a magic spell.
    • Previously, if the pker was using a manual cast spell on a target, it would often lead to the target getting gap due to the server trying to reset the player’s pathing.
      • It should no longer be possible to get gap on a pker in a direct chase.
  • Eldric the ice king's drop table will now show the deadeye prayer scroll rather than the mystic vigour scroll.
  • Adept/Apprentice/Expert potion packs now provide 4 loot rolls rather than 1.
  • Fixed a bug where entering a new TOA room would not properly update the music track.
    • There should now be a new music track playing in each room.
  • Fixed a bug where “Line1” would sometimes overwrite the chatbox dialogue in Player/Item dialogue interfaces.
  • Fixed a bug which caused players to be teleported out of the Theatre of Blood in rare conditions.
  • Fixed a bug where clicking the "Close" option on the incinerator confirmation interface would delete an item in the player's bank.
  • Fixed an achievement diary typo stating players needed level 80 woodcutting to chop magic logs.

  • Fixed a bug where the Tears of Guthix plugin would not show the green stream timer.
  • Fixed a bug where players could collect negative tears of guthix.
    • This had no real impact except for if the player had spent too much time in front of the green tears and tried to continue collecting blue tears afterwards.
  • Fixed bugged dialogue when opening the forgotten lockbox.
  • Fixed a bug where the master clue scroll step requiring a player to slap their head was not working.
  • Fixed a bug where the Hunter rumours plugin would sometimes show the incorrect rumour.
  • Fixed a bug where the npc drop searcher wouldn't show Yama's stats.
  • Fixed a bug where the collection log would show the incorrect amount of unique items unlocked.
    • For some players who had unlocked items in the collection log that were then removed (some league items for example), these items would have increased the unique item count, even though they weren’t actually collection log items anymore.
  • The bonus damage/accuracy from a slayer helmet will now apply to Araxxor's minions when on a boss task.
  • Fixed a bug where players could not open scroll boxes if they had a stack larger than 1.

Hello everyone,

Today's update brings a wide variety of improvements to the server while we continue to work on Sailing in our effort to be the first server to release the massive new skill. We appreciate your patience as we work on bringing the new skill to Alora, we know that this update comes later than expected given our usual schedule, but we know it will be worth it once it is released -- we are beginning testing this week and are very close to the full release. If you haven't already, make sure to check out our Development blog:
https://www.alora.io...velopment-blog/

• Variable Ironman Experience Rates:
  • Players can now select one of 3 different experience rates when creating a new account that is a Regular Ironman, Ultimate Ironman, Hardcore Ironman, or Hardcore Ultimate Ironman.
    • The exp rate options provided are 40x (15x after 99), which was the original rate for ultimate ironman and regular Ironman, 8x, which was the original rate for hardcore ironman/hardcore ultimate ironman, and 4x, a completely new rate for solo ironman accounts.
  • Players can freely increase the experience rates of any of the game modes by speaking to the Combat Master in the ironman shack.
    • For example, if you start your account on 4x, and wish for easier rates, you can go up to 8x/40x.
      • Players who choose to do this will not ever be able to go back down to a harder experience rate.
  • Each of these separate experience rate modes will have their own hiscores so that players will be competing/progress with other accounts in their experience bracket.
  • This new system also means that players who are currently playing on a hardcore ironman or hardcore ultimate ironman will now keep their experience rate if they die.
    • This applies to accounts created before this system was added as well, so dying on a hardcore ironman created before this update will no longer force the player to play an ironman with the 40/15x experience rate, allowing them to continue progressing a normal ironman account at the original 8x experience rate.
  • Looking up players on the forum hiscores or using the runelite hiscores plugin will show the player’s current experience rate.
• Loom/Spinning wheel:
  • Players can now use a loom to create the following items:
    • Strip of cloth
    • Bolt of linen
    • Empty Sack
    • Drift Net
    • Bolt of canvas
    • Bolt of Cotton
  • The bolt of canvas and bolt of cotton cannot be created without hemp yarn and cotton yarn, which will be unobtainable until the release of Sailing.
  • Players can now also spin Linen yarn (flax), cotton yarn (cotton boll), and hemp yarn (hemp) at spinning wheels.
• 117HD Performance Improvements:
  • The 117HD plugin has received the same treatment as the GPU plugin, and should now be much more performant, leading to 50-100% increased FPS when used.
• Hops Farming:
  • Players can now plant hops seeds in all 5 hops patches around the world.
    • Planting a hops patch requires either 3 or 4 of that specific seed to do so.
      • Plantable seeds:
        • Barley seeds (4 required)
        • Hammerstone seeds (4 required)
        • Asgarnian seeds (4 required)
        • Jute seeds (3 required)
        • Yanillian seeds (4 required)
        • Flax seeds (3 required)
        • Krandorian seeds (4 required)
        • Wildblood seeds (4 required)
        • Hemp seeds (3 required)
        • Cotton seeds (3 required)
      • Flax/Hemp/Cotton seeds will be unobtainable until the release of sailing.
    • Patches:
      • Lumbridge, north of the chicken coup
      • North of McGrubor’s Woods
      • Yanille
      • Entrana
      • Aldarin

  • The crab dance emote is currently unavailable until the release of Sailing.
• Game Mode Menu Icons:
  • Players can now see a player’s game mode in the menu entry dropdown when right-clicking a player.

    • Upon death to a player, the equipment will revert to normal Torva.

  • Advisor Ghrim now has a "Manage" Right-click option that players can use to quickly open the management interface.
  • Players can now use blighted food/potions in the mage bank/ferox enclave.
  • Added placeholders for the following items:
    • Bond ($100)
    • Bond ($100) (Untradable)
    • Bond ($50) (Untradable)
    • Ultimate Mystery Box
  • Players can now use a knife on a max cape/hood variant to revert it to the default max cape/hood.
    • When doing so, players will receive any input cape required to make the variant, for example using a knife on an infernal max cape will disassemble it into a regular max cape and an infernal cape.
  • Players can now use Sherlock’s notes on another player to transfer them between accounts.
  • When a player receives coins, if they cannot be added in their inventory/bank (due to having max cash stacks), the server will now try to add it to their inventory/bank as platinum tokens instead, only dropping the amount of coins that cannot be converted to platinum.
    • This should stop any issues of players claiming or winning coins and not noticing they drop on the ground.

  • Players will now be able to store any non-accomplishment cape slot in the cape rack for any tier.

• Fixed a bug where the last 2 hits of Cerberus' soul attack would be delayed by 3-4 ticks.
