This month we have a some great interviews from Marg & Krest. Enjoy the read!

-

H: What is one of your accomplishments you're most proud of?

Marg: The accomplishment that I am most proud of in life is, without a doubt, having managed to form a career in the professional field that I have always dreamed of since I was little! Being able to work with children has always been my greatest ambition and thankfully I managed to graduate, complete a master's degree and pursue a PhD in this area.

 

H: What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives?

Marg: I think that everyone, at least once in their life, should venture out of their "everyday environment" and discover other parts of the world! And I don't mean hotels and luxurious beaches - I mean being in contact with nature, with wildlife, visiting deserts, mountains, the sea... it's really humbling to realize how small we are in contrast to the world that we live in!

 

H: What is your most memorable moment while playing Alora?

Marg: I understand that this might not be that funny when told in text format but regrettably I did not record it... The most I have ever laughed on Alora/Runescape was like one year ago. Our clan had around 10+ people out on the wilderness because we were protecting a Wilderness Supply Chest in a Multi-combat zone... While we were there, an absolutely cute-noob appeared out of nowhere alongside a veteran player who was kind-hearted enough to guide him through Mage Arena 2 quest. As soon as the veteran player saw 10+ white dots in front of him he made a full 180 and ran for his life while only saying "Run btw" to his peer... Needless to say that the poor nooba did not complete his quest as he proceeded to catch a rain of specs and died. The innocence and naivety of that situation was so much that we couldn't stop laughing at the guy but we did trade him back all of his gear and even gave him gear and gp as a compensation and incentive to keep playing!

 

H: What do you do in your spare time apart from play Alora?

Marg: As far as gaming goes apart from playing Alora I play Old-School Runescape. As far as IRL goes, my job used to take up most of my time during the week but as I am in the process of moving to my home country at the moment I am not employed. I mostly do chores, go on walks, do groceries and go out to eat during the week and on the weekends I usually pick a city and stay there during those days to visit and get to know the places of interest!

 

H: If you were given $10,000, what would you do with it?

Marg: I would do as I have been doing every year for the last seven years which is donating money, clothes, toys and school supplies to children's institutions or even schools most in need of those things. Life is about sharing and all the money in the world means nothing if you cannot share it with those who need it the most!

 

Next up is Krest

 

H: What are your current in-game goals?

Krest: My current goals are to max my GIM, get the dark acorn for my squirrel, complete achievement diarys, hopefully get spooned in raids and do group content with my team. GIM has really got me addicted and I am hoping to complete most of these goals by the end of the year.

 

H: What's the longest you've gone without sleep (and why)?

Krest: I think it was during a subathon stream I did for charity and ended up streaming a total of 3 1/2 days and staying up for almost 36 hours straight before having to take a nap. Was one of the worst things I have went through but was for a good cause.

 

H: What are the best and worst purchases you’ve ever made?

Krest: The best purchase I ever made was a house that I got about 2 years ago now. The worst would probably be 3-4 designer belts that I bought and haven't worn in probably a year or two.

 

H: If you could have lunch with any member of the community, who would it be and why?

Krest: I honestly have been dying to meet Moe & Randell. We have grown pretty close over the past year and I need to see for myself what a noob they both are.

 

H: What do you do in your spare time apart from play Alora?

Krest: Aside from working and playing Alora I am renovating part of my house for my future daughter who will be born early next year. When I am not doing that I like to play VALORANT & sometimes Rust.

If you'd like to be interviewed or see a particular member of the Alora community interviewed and/or particular question answered, make sure leave your nomination on the Newspaper Interview Nomination thread each month or you can message Lucifers GIM or H on forums.

Cooking NPC

Chef Mochiii

 

https://oldschool.ru...iki/w/Head_chef

Welcome to the long awaited Alora's Cooking NPC. The npc that @Lowkey has pleaded to be added to the game for the past 4 years! Below you will find a breakdown of requirements / prices.

I would like to note that this npc will reward 0 experience for any fish cooked and is purely to speed up cooking for pvming/pking.

Suggesting its located at the Cooking Guild west of Varrock and East of Edgeville(this can be decided)

Normal player: 4,000gp per noted raw fish.

Donator: 3,750gp per noted raw fish.

Super donator: 3,500gp per noted raw fish.

Extreme donator: 3,250gp per noted raw fish.

Legendary donator: 3,000gp per noted raw fish.

Uber donator: 2,750gp per noted raw fish.

Master donator+: 2,500gp per noted raw fish.
 

Requirements: 

• Varrock Elite Diary completed
• Cooking Gauntlets.
• 100m xp in cooking skill achieved
  • ​The reason this is part of the requirement is because the Varrock Diary is one that is completed fairly easily and we want to make sure that this npc does not take away from the initial part of the game and must go through say a "probationary period" where you actually have to fish/cooking everything you obtain, and 100m was a fair milestone instead of saying 200m that everyone already gets.

2nd Proposed Requirements: 22/4/2023

• Varrock + Lumbridge & Draynor Elite Diaries Completed (Both)
• Cooking gauntlets equipped
• 99 Cooking
• Remove 100m cooking xp req from 1st proposed requirements
  • After discussion the 100m cooking xp req may be unfair for game modes such as realism/elite/classic to obtain. Instead the completion of 2 elite diaries that have high level REQ and locked behind quest completion is a fitting choice. As the person who mentioned this to me we also want to highlight the "Gold Sink" factor and make sure its accessible to increase its use, increasing how much gp it deletes.

Pros:

• More bossing, less cooking.
• Gold sink.

Cons:

• No xp gain.

Hello everyone,

I'm making this guide today to help out newcomers to know what are the ways to get a dragon defender.

There's quite some ways to get yourself a dragon defender, we will be dividing it into sections to make it easy and simple.

There's 2 methods to obtain a dragon defender.

I. Buying the defender.  

Spoiler

 

I. 

Spoiler

 

You can buy a dragon defender from ;;store it costs 50 tokens.

**Only Available to Normal and  Classic Mode

 

 

II. 

 

Spoiler

You can buy the dragon defender from the vote rewards shop.

*Available for all game modes. it costs 300 vote points.

 

III. 

Spoiler

You can buy the dragon defender from the PKP rewards shop.

**Only Available to Normal,  Classic Mode and  Realism

 

Normal and Classic mode costs : 1874 PK Points.

 

Realism mode costs : 2436 PK Points.

 

 

II.Warrior's Guild   

In order to obtain the defender the old school way, you have to grind tokens to gain access to cyclops room or have the Attack skill cape.

Let's dive into the possible ways for us to get the defender as a drop.

**I highly recommend if you have normal xp rates to get yourself 99 Attack and go straight to cyclops room for free entry.

You will start the grind from the bronze defender till the dragon defender and doing so will make u complete the cyclops collection log.

**After you unlock/get the rune defender it's a 50/50 chance to get the dragon defender from cyclops.

Attack cape method

Token farming method.

 
Hello everyone,
 
The update many of you have been waiting for is here! Phantom Muspah can now be fought in the Ghorrock Dungeon, bringing with it not only unique boss mechanics, but also a number of new rewards, including the Saturated heart (improved Imbued heart), the one-of-a-kind Venator bow, and the Ancient scepter, an upgrade to the Ancient staff. Aside from this, we've touched up a number of things such as improved latency for the game (and reduced disconnections), made the client load up quicker and added new features / enhanced existing ones, and added some useful QoL like being able to yell with two slashes "//" before your message, or having a "Deposit-inventory" option on Bank deposit boxes.
 
Additionally, we've been working hard on some other updates, and we'll soon be posting a Development blog to showcase some of them :)

• Hiscores update:
  • Hiscores have been updated to include:
    • Tempoross
    • Wintertodt
    • Guardians of the Rift (Titled as "Rifts closed")

• Store:
  • SEPA payment method is now available. This will allow EU players to make payments via direct debit, and not require a credit card.
  • "Link" can now be used to easily and securely save your payment information such as your card details and contact information, so that you can checkout more quickly next time. This will be linked to your mobile number, so a text message will be sent every time you want to checkout, allowing you to skip entering any other information.
• Launcher Changes:
  • The Alora jar launcher now supports windows ARM devices.
• Client Changes:
  • The Timers plugin now has an option to display the escape crystal timer after it has been activated.
    • Upon taking damage (where eligible), the escape crystal timer infobox will appear and begin to count down the number of seconds until it will teleport the player away, unless there is an interaction with the client.
  • The object indicators plugin has been updated to allow multiple rendering options for marked objects, including the tile it’s on, the hull, the outline, and the click box.
    •  
  • The Camera plugin now has an option to allow right-clicking to move the camera when clicked over objects.
  • Context Menu Scrolling:
    • Players can now scroll when a context menu is open if there are too many items to be shown all at once.
  • The attack styles plugin now has a setting to send a chat warning when the player selects a warned attack style.
  • Ground marker plugin colouring:
    • If the “remember color per tile” configuration is enabled, players can hold alt/ctrl (or whatever alternate hotkey they have set on runelite) and right-click a ground marker to select a custom color for it.
  • Players can now select the color they want to appear as in the party plugin.
  • Cache Loading Improvements:
    • We’ve approximately halved the length of time that it takes for a new cache to load on client startup.

• Yell QoL:
  • You can now yell by typing // before your message, rather than typing out ::yell.
• Phantom Muspah:
  • Players can now travel to the Ghorrock dungeon to fight the Phantom Muspah.
    • This is a new solo boss that has 850 hitpoints, and various phases to combat.
      • To reach the boss, players can speak to the teleport wizard and teleport to it via the boss teleports menu.
        • Once you’ve entered, the Phantom muspah will spawn in either a range or melee phase.
          • Every 100 damage dealt to Muspah, it will switch phases and spawn various spikes around the room.
            • Being hit by one of these spikes, or standing on them will deal damage to the player.
          • At 33% and 66% health, Muspah will do 1 of 2 special attacks, determined by his starting phase when the fight begins.
            • Once it reaches 127 hitpoints or less, it will teleport to the centre of the room, entering its shield phase where only prayer-draining hits can damage it.
              • It will also lose 2 prayer for each attack it uses, so it will slowly drain over time.
              • Methods to hit Muspah include the following:
                • Thralls
                • Smite
                • Sapphire bolts (e)
                • Ancient Mace
                • Corruption spells
              • When its prayer is fully drained, it will transform into it’s final phase.

​

• Combat Achievements:
  • 13 new combat achievements have been added for the Phantom Muspah.
    • 2 Grandmaster
    • 6 Master 
    • 4 Elite
    • 1 Hard
• Rewards:
  • Muspah’s common loot includes Ancient Essence, which is an item used to saturate the imbued heart, creating the Saturated heart.
    • The Saturated heart is an improved Imbued heart, which does boosts the player's magic level by 4 + 10% of their level, and will not drain until the heart’s 5 minute cooldown timer has elapsed.
      • 150,000 ancient essence are required to saturate the imbued heart.
    • The Ancient essence is also used to charge the new Venator bow.
  • Venator Shards:
    • These rare drops from Muspah can be used to create the new Venator bow, or be broken down into 50,000 ancient essence with a pestle and mortar.
  • Venator bow:
    • The Venator bow is a new 2-handed bow that required 80 ranged to use.
      • It can be created by combining 5 Venator shards together.
    • This bow can hold up to 50,000 ancient essence charges within it, which enable its special passive effect.
      • When attacking a target in a multi-combat area, the bow will try to fire another arrow into a nearby target, dealing damage up to two-thirds of the original max hi. Then, the attack can bounce again, either to the original target or a third one nearby. Bouncing arrows will only hit targets in a range of two squares from the target's centre tile.
        • Each attack uses 1 charge, regardless of how many opponents are hit.

• Ancient Icon:
  • This icon can be attached to the Ancient staff to create the Ancient sceptre, a mage weapon with a 5% magic damage bonus, which also boosts the effect of ancient magick spells by 10%.
• Theatre of blood adjustments:
  • Verzik's attacks through prayer in hard mode will now deal 60% of the damage through prayer, rather than 40%.
  • The solo and duo scaling have been reduced to 5%/10% reduced hp.
• Login server changes:
  • We've improved latency when playing the game by consolidating all of our login servers into the same datacenter as the game server. This should lead to less disconnections , dead clicks / dropped packets and better ping overall.
• Ping plugin:
  • The Ping plugin is now available on RuneLite, this will show you an accurate average ping from your network to the game server.
• Line of Sight Changes:
  • The line of sight calculations should now work more accurately for both NPC’s and Players.
    • This may remove some previously working safe spots that weren’t meant to exist, such as the demonic gorillas safe spot.

  • As a reward for completing the Kandarin achievement diaries, players can now exchange noted flax with the Flax keeper in Seer’s village.
    • Easy Diary: 30 noted flax per day
    • Medium Diary: 60 noted flax per day
    • Hard Diary: 120 noted flax per day
    • Elite Diary: 250 noted flax per day
• Pj timer changes:
  • Players can no longer be immediately attacked by a player or npc if their most recent target was a player and the pj timer is still active (unless the attacker is their most recent target).
    • This doesn’t apply to PvM unless the player was recently in combat with another player, which would trigger the pj timer.
• Motherlode Mine Upper Level Changes:
  • The ores in the upper level of the motherlode mine will now deplete on a timer which begins to countdown after the first ore is mined, rather than a set number of ores mined.
    • This timer is from anywhere between 15 and 27 seconds.
      • This means that players mining the upper level will not be competing with each other, and on average the ores should last quite a bit longer than the lower levels.
        • This also means that if a player mines only a single ore from a vein, it will deplete in 15-27 seconds, regardless of how many ores are mined from it.

  • The high/low alch values shown when examining items will now correctly display the coins that will be received when alching the items.

  • The Farming skillcape now has separate boost and teleport options while equipped.
