Hey guys,

 

The much anticipated Christmas update is here! Talk to the Town crier at home to help save Christmas again this year as evil forces attempt to make sure there is no celebration at all. This update also includes some miscellaneous bug fixes, but we’ll be focusing almost solely on bugs in the upcoming update to address some other issues that have been reported by you guys. Additionally, we’ve got an awesome giveaway this year for you to participate in and have a chance to win IRL prizes. Read below for more details!

 

 

Note: You will require a client update after this update. If you use the auto-updating JAR client (Alora.jar or Alora_mac.jar) you simply need to restart your client. If you use the RAR client, you will need to re-download the client again manually.

 

 

 

 

• Christmas giveaway:
  • As our way of getting into the Christmas spirit, and to show our gratitude for all of your continued support over the past year, we’re hosting a giveaway with IRL prizes this holiday season!
    • You can enter in-game by purchasing tickets from Haris at home (leaning on Well of Goodwill). This is not to be confused with Haris’ Christmas giveaway, as this one is run by myself!
      • Tickets cost 50m each, and each player (household if multiple people play from your house) can only have 20 tickets at most. This is very important, if your name is drawn and we find that you’ve purchased more than 20 tickets on multiple accounts you will be disqualified. 
      • The drawing will be on January 1st, 2018 at 09:00 EST.
      • Prizes are unlocked as everyone collectively hits milestones.
    • Prizes:
      • 2.5b milestone: Razer Mouse (DeathAdder Chroma)
      • 5b milestone: Razer Keyboard (BlackWidow Chroma V2)
      • 40b milestone: PS4 Slim Console (1TB)
  • FAQ:
    • How many people will win?
      • Assuming the full 40b gets donated, there are 3 prizes for 3 players.
    • Can the same person win multiple items?
      • To make it fair for everyone, if the drawing lands on the same person twice, there will be a re-roll.
    • Can anyone enter?
      • Yes, anyone can enter, including staff.
    • If it reaches 40b for the PS4, can the other prizes still be won?
      • Yes, if the 40b is reached, all 3 prizes are rewarded. If only 5b is reached, the first two prizes will be rewarded.
    • What if I win but do not want the prize?
      • You can also take the cash equivalent of the prize(via PayPal), or 1.5x the equivalent in Alora tokens.
    • I have a brother/sister who also plays, can we each enter 20 times?
      • Unfortunately, there is a cap on the number of tickets and it is set at 20 per household. This is to ensure everyone gets a fair chance and that nobody is cheating. We will be looking into the winners to make sure that they fairly purchased their tickets.
    • How will the winner be picked?
      • A random number will be picked, which will correlate to an entry on a list of names. Your name will appear on the list as many times as you’ve purchased tickets, meaning the more tickets you purchase the more likely it is to land on your name.

 

• Server updates:
  • Christmas theme:
    • Alora has been covered in snow!
      • You can turn the snow on/off by typing ::snow in-game.
    • Festive makeover:
      • Alora’s NPCs have gotten festive this year, with many of them sporting Santa hats! These include many different pets, as well as certain NPCs such as the stray dog in Varrock and every rat around the world.
  • Christmas event:
    • ​Huge thanks to @uTorrent and (?) @Volta for writing most of the script for this year's event!
      • Christmas has arrived on Alora! Someone’s up to no good this year, and they’re doing their very best to ruin Christmas for everyone. The Town crier at home, near the Christmas tree, is asking for your help and will take you to the North Pole to investigate the disappearance of Santa further.
        • You’ll have to work together with the fairy elves to find Santa and save Christmas this year.
          • Your efforts will be rewarded with an exclusive, never seen before Snow Imp costume only available to those who complete this event!
          • You’ll also unlock a Christmas themed mesh net, meant for catching sprites, but it can also be used to catch implings or butterflies. Even Psykk bats in Raids are catchable with this net.
          • All of these event items are reclaimable for 100,000 GP each if lost on death.
  • Imbued God capes fix:
    • The recently released imbued god capes from Mage arena II were not correctly giving their 2% Magic damage boost. This has been correct for all capes, as well as their Max cape counterparts.
  • Completionist Monkey cape fix:
    • The Completionist Monkey has now been updated to have the best stats of the Imbued god capes, as well as the 2% Magic damage boost as it is a composite of all of the best capes in the game.
      • From +12 to +15 Magic defence
      • From +10 to +15 Magic attack
      • 2% Magic damage boost in both PvP and PvM
  • Change password command has been added.
    • You can now type ::changepassword, ::changepass or ::changepw to be taken to the change password page on the forums directly from in-game.
  • Report bug command added:
    • You can now type ::reportbug in-game to be taken directly to the bug report section.
  • Cape of Legends (Veteran cape):
    • Players who have been around for more than a year can now claim an item of their own to show off their veteran status!
      • As the requirements for forum veteran can be quite difficult to obtain even to some of our oldest players, this cape will provide players who don’t meet those requirements with an item to show off their achievement.
    • As long as your account is 365 days old or more, Hans will be able to sell you a Cape of Legends for 2,500,000 GP.
      • Speak to Hans in South-east Edgeville.
      • If you die with the cape in the wilderness, you can recover it from the Lost Items manager for 250,000 GP.
  • Construction fix:
    • Some players have noticed that sometimes pathfinding / following in houses could get very buggy. We’ve attempted to locate this problem and have pushed a patch that will hopefully resolve this issue once and for all and fix pathing within houses.
  • Bloody key change:
    • The world event which spawns a Bloody key in the wilderness every so often has had the following update applied:
      • You can no longer loot the key if you are under level 57 combat.
        • This only applies to the wilderness spawns, but not to key parts dropped by Crystal NPCs or by Revenants.
        • The reasoning behind this is that players are heading into the wilderness with no risk on level 3 accounts to loot these keys, which doesn’t promote wilderness activity as was the intention of this update. Level 57 leaves plenty of room for pures to be able to loot the key as well.
  • Twisted bow buff:
    • Currently the Twisted bow is most useful within Raids, but limited in its use outside of raids.
      • To combat this, we’ve boosted the PvM bonuses that this bow provides:
        • Accuracy boosted by 20%
        • Damage boosted by 15%
  • Pest Control changes:
    • You must now have at least 4 people in the Pest Control boat for the game to begin.
    • Fixed a bug which would cause the Pest control game to get stuck with no players inside, and no new players able to enter.
  • Miscellaneous:
    • Fixed some bugs with the game engine which may cause lag over time.
    • Karil’s top now has the correct 70 Ranged requirement.
    • Jester scarves now equip to the correct slot.
    • ::rules has been updated to the new rules thread created by @Lowkey
    • A bug with the rune pouch has been fixed.
  • Risk protection changes:
    • Previously, you needed at least 1/5 of the wealth of your opponent to attack them. For example, if your opponent has 10m risk, you must have at least 2m to attack them.
      • This has been cut in half, and you now only need 1m in the same scenario to attack the other player.
        • Keep in mind that as long as you have over 7.5m worth of risk, you’ll always be able to attack any player.

 

• Forum/website updates:
  • The Uber userbar has been updated to better match the other user bars (Font / Color / Removed capitalization)
  • Christmas updates:
    • Alora’s logo is now Christmas themed.
      • Big thanks to @Chase for his work on this, as well as the slogan on the homepage!
      • The website will also forcibly be blue for the rest of the holiday season (rather than colour-changing).
    • Snowflakes are now falling on all pages of Alora’s website!
      • We know that some users have older computers that may lag with these snowflakes falling, so we’ve added a toggle button to the top right corner of all forum pages.
  • Terms of Service update:
    • Refreshed the TOS that was shown to newly registered members as there were some inconsistencies and errors within it.

 

 

• Staff updates:
  • Staff members can now remove event NPCs by using a Holy wrench on them.
    • This is useful in the case of badly spawned event NPCs (bad location or wrong NPC id) during server events.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We hope you enjoy this update and your holidays!

 

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays :)

It might sound biased as I just got the twisted bow, but I really feel like BP is way too overpowered. Darts are cheap, as gp is worth less in Alora compared to OSRS. You can easily get end game darts and not worry about the GP spent. I feel like magic is useless, melee sometimes too. I got 40M range XP (x5 rates) and I'm not even maxed, simply because I need to use the BP for everything. I'd rather see magic and melee get more use than use blowpipe for everything.

 

I wonder how you guys feel about it.

 

Also. I feel like there should be an use/buff for mage in raids. It's way too easy taking only a twisted bow or a BP and melee switch for everything.

We had a similar update not too long ago in which Range in its entirety was nerfed and Magic was buffed. The range changes were reverted within 3 days due to community backlash. I'm not disagreeing with you that the Blowpipe isn't currently the best DPS weapon in the game, however there is always going to be a weapon that's better than the rest. Melee offers a different type of DPS as it comes with a lot stronger defence benefits, and in fact I do choose to use melee in some scenarios. Furthermore, this would be quite unfair to newer players looking to get 200m Ranged exp as players for longer than a year now have been able to use BP in its current state. No support from me, it's the game meta and how it has always been.

I definitely think some items need to be removed/tinkered with. Cball mould I believe should be lowered to perhaps 10k? I agree that the Zammy Spear doesn't really have a place within the shop, as well as the Amulet. Perhaps Omi would have access to how many times these items have been purchased and could act accordingly. I do like the idea of something like the Herb Boxes that OSRS have for NMZ. These boxes should have a cap on how many can be purchased every 24H to make them not too overpowered.

Answer?

 

 

My Birthday. 

 

 

Happy birthday to me! ^w^

Hi Guys,

 

As you might know, the way to get loyalty points is to help in well, be active in-game, be active on forums etc.

 

An inititative to have more activity and more money sink (Well wise) is to actually re-vamp the loyalty store to a more attractive one. The current one is now "out-dated" and doesn't make much sense in my opinion.

What are your ideas/opinions? :)

It’s a private server and this is usually how they run. Makes it easy for new players. No Support.

According to the 07 Wiki page -

 

"Players can speak to the Magic combat tutor in Lumbridge to toggle an option which allows runes to be placed directly into the rune pouch upon pickup, provided that the rune pouch contains at least one of the specific rune, and that there is space in the stack for runes.

 

Fairly simple suggestion - update our Rune Pouch so that runes you pick up that are already in your pouch, go to your pouch.

 

Would be a QOL update that makes collecting runes from kills or other ways a little faster and easier.

Hello Everyone!

Today, I'll be releasing the Locations Guide.
This Guide is finaly finished, after spending approximately 50 hours.
Please show off the support by giving the Topic a like if you've found it helpful!
Feedback is appreciated at any time..

Have fun Reading!

Best regards,
Iro n

I propose we have a KOTS event similar to OSRS in which players must race to the highest total level they can within a 24H time frame on an ironman account. The winner(s) could possibly receive an exclusive item or in-game rewards.

I believe would be an invigorating update/event for all players and would bring a bit of spice back into skillers gameplay, thankyou.

Hey guys,

 

This weeks update features plenty of new wilderness content, including the Revenant caves and the Mage Arena II mini-quest! You’ll be able to unlock those cool new imbued god capes, or explore the Revenant caves in pursuit of profit or bloody keys. It’s also officially December, and that means Christmas is right around the corner! As always, we’ll be working on a Christmas event for all of you to enjoy over the holidays.

 

• Bloody key update:
  • Similarly to emblems, bloody keys can no longer be protected on death. They will always be dropped on the ground.
    • This makes things more interesting if a player with no risk ( items and not skulled) manages to pick up a key in the wilderness, as the looter is still at risk of losing their key.
  • Tradable:
    • Considering the previous mechanic (where you can obtain bloody keys by killing a player), it only makes sense that these keys become tradable.
  • Bloody key risk:
    • A value of 500,000 has been given to each key to increase your risked wealth (or your victim’s) for PKP calculation purposes.
• Mage Arena II:
  • Kolodion has a new challenge for those powerful enough to participate — players with level 75 Magic can embark on a new mini-quest by visiting the Mage Arena.
    • You’ll be tasked with finding and defeating God demons that are hidden throughout the wilderness, with the help of an enchanted symbol which will help you locate them.
      • The locations of these demons often changes, and anyone in the wilderness carrying the enchanted symbol will be notified of this change. Refer to the chart below for approximate possible spawn locations:
        • https://vignette.wik...=20171124042004 
    • After defeating all 3 Demons(Light, Darkness and Balance), you’ll be able to upgrade your God cape to an Imbued God cape which provides the best bonuses of all 3 regular God capes.
      • Note: You’ll have to use the specific spell for that god:
        • Demon of Light — Saradomin Strike
        • Demon of Darkness — Flames of Zamorak
        • Demon of Balance — Claws of Guthix
      • The demons are very powerful. They can hit up to 43, can use Ice barrage to freeze you, and can even tele-block you for 1 minute.
      • You can also use a Twisted bow on these demons. Any other spell/weapon will prove to be nearly impossible at harming these demons.
  • With this new quest, you won’t be able to purchase/wear the Quest cape until it is completed.
  • Imbued capes:
    • You can convert your Imbued god capes to Imbued Max capes by using the cape on a max cape. 
• God spell changes:
  • You are no longer required to wear god capes to cast god spells. Only the staff for each respective spell.
• Miscellaneous:
  • Fixed a Herblore bug where you could not see the error message stating your level is too low to make a potion.
  • Staff update:
    • ::giverandom will no longer work on staff members.
• Revenants cave:
  • A new wilderness cave has been uncovered! Spanning between wilderness levels 17 and 40, this multi-combat cave is home to dangerous Revenants with some interesting rewards for those who are brave enough to enter.
    • The cave is large and contains many normal NPCs such as Hellhounds, dragons, demons and more, but venture deeper into the cave and you will find an area haunted by Revenants waiting to claim lives.
  • Entrances:
    • Two entrances exist in the wilderness:
      • 1. Level 17 Wilderness, slightly north-east of the Dark Warrior’s Fortress.
        • Can be reached by way of Revenant teleport scroll
      • 2. Level 40 Wilderness, slightly south-east of the Lava Maze.
  • Revenants:
    • Revenants are dangerous enemies that can attack with all three combat styles.
      • They also have the ability to heal themselves at low health, as well as being able to freeze their opponents. These are dangerous enemies and should be treated as such!
      • Salve amulets (both the regular and (e) version) will provide Attack/Strength boosts against these creatures (15/20% respectively), as they are indeed undead.
  • Shortcuts:
    • The dungeon is filled with shortcuts to get around more quickly and to make for escapes. These shortcuts all required higher Agility levels, ranging from level 65 to 89.
  • Drops:
    • Bloody key:
      • Unlike the OSRS revenants, Alora’s revenants have a chance at dropping a full bloody key! Heightening the rewards for these creatures, as well as the risk. Remember, keys will always drop on death if you are killed.
    • Revenant teleport scroll:
      • A scroll which teleports you to the level 17 Wilderness entrance.
    • Revenant ether:
      • Used to charge the Bracelet of Ethereum. Tradable.
    • Bracelet of ethereum:
      • A bracelet which can be charged with Revenant ether (can hold up to 16,000 charges) and protects you from damage from revenants while equipped. (1 charge = 1 attack) Tradable.
    • Ancient emblems/totems/statuettes:
      • These ancient artifacts can be exchanged with the Revenant Cave Emblem trader, who roams around the northern part of the Revenants cave, for (all halved on Classic mode):
        • Emblem: 2.5m
        • Totem: 5m
        • Statuette: 10m
    • Ancient crystal:
      • Can be used to create an Obelisk within a Superior garden of your Player-Owned House.
    • Other:
      • Dragon skirt, platelegs, dagger, longsword, 2h sword
      • Rune equipment
      • Noted battlestaffs
      • Noted supplies
      • Magic seeds
  • Slayer tasks:
    • Krystilia can now assign revenants as a Slayer task. Any revenant can be killed to satisfy this task.
• House update:
  • Obelisks can now be created in your Superior garden by using four Ancient crystals (Revenant drop) along with 4 Marble blocks.
    • You must have level 80 Construction to build this.
  • Grotesque Guardians display:
    • Using the Jar of Stone drop from Grotesque Guardians (and the other requirements), you can now set up a new Display case in your Achievement room!
• Client fix:
  • Some dungeon entrances were showing up on the minimap as battlestaff icons. These have been fixed and you should now see the dungeon icon with a blue arrow.

Hey guys,

Just bringing it to your attention that there have been multiple twitch streams that have been using my past broadcasts from my YouTube channel. Please be aware that whoever is doing this is using a phishing website to gather your information. Do not click on any links that they provide to you during the stream if you happen to come across it. The only website I stream and make videos on is YouTube. Sadly there is nothing I can do to stop them from doing this which is why I'm making an announcement regarding this issue.

Regards,
Lowkey
