I like the idea of master clue scroll being given if you sacrifice either 1 of each type of clue or 5 elites. Masters would give great skilling supplies/rare drops.

Hello everyone,

Today’s update is mostly focused on getting out some important bug fixes, including some that have been lingering around for quite awhile now. For the next update, we’re working on getting out some content that we’ve been meaning to implement for awhile as well (Fossil island content, Battlestaff crafting, etc.), so make sure to keep an eye out for another update soon!
 
Game updates:

• World bosses update:
  • Hitpoints on all world bosses has been increased.
    • The fight did not last long enough (usually 15-20 seconds max) for players to get there and participate / obtain the God’s blessing XP bonus.
    • Increase from 750 HP to:
      • 1,750 for Saradomin/Zamorak bosses
      • 2,500 for Guthix boss
  • With the above HP change, the Guthix boss (Derwen) now has better chances of dropping the pet as well as the Staff of Light.
  • The minimum damage required to obtain the God’s blessing has been reduced from 100 damage to 75. This, along with the hitpoints increase, should give most players an opportunity to participate for the blessing.
• Cooking update:
  • The cooking skillcape bonus (no burn at 99) now works when wearing the Max cape (only the red one — not the variants) or the Completionist monkey.
• Slayer changes:
  • If you have a Smoke devil task, you can defeat the Thermonuclear smoke devil and it will count towards your task.
    • Additionally, if you have a Dust devil task, you can also kill the Thermonuclear smoke devil and it will count.
  • Black mask (i) can now be unimbued.
• Staff of light fix:
  • The magic attack bonus for the Staff of Light has been updated to match the TSOTD — +25 instead of +17.
• Magic fixes:
  • Staff of the dead / Toxic SOTD can now cast Zamorak flames spell.
  • Staff of light can now cast Saradomin strike.
  • Fire surge fix:
    • When using the Tome of Fire while casting Fire surge, the max hit is increased from 24 to 36.
      • This brings the true max hit up to 49 in PvP when using:
        • Tome of fire
        • Occult necklace (10%)
        • SOTD/SOL/TSOTD/Kodai (15%)
        • Ancestral outfit (6%)
        • Imbued god cape (2%)
        • Tormented bracelet (5%) 
      • TOTAL: 38% magic bonus * 36 max hit = 49
        • The max hit in PvM with an imbued Slayer helmet could be as high as 55 with the above gear.
  • Slayer mask/helmet/salve amulet were not properly providing the magic damage bonus. This has been fixed.
• Range fixes:
  • Crystal bow bonuses have been fixed. It now has +100 Ranged attack and +70 Ranged strength.
• Vorkath fixes:
  • Vorkath fight:
    • Zombified spawn:
      • Crumble undead would sometimes splash on the Zombified spawn. This can no longer happen.
      • The spawn can no longer be evaded.
    • Antifire effectiveness:
      • Antifire potions/shield will now be slightly more effective in defending against Vorkath.
  • Vorkath’s Turquoise Slayer helmet:
    • The Turquoise Slayer helmet can now be created through one of the following methods:
      • Vorkath’s head + Slayer helmet
      • Vorkath’s head + Slayer helmet (i) (gives Turquoise Slayer helmet (i))
        • Additionally, if you added Vorkath’s head to a regular Slayer helmet, you can then imbue it with an imbuement scroll.
    • Has all the same bonuses from the other Slayer helmets.
    • Can be reclaimed from untradables shop for 400k GP.
• Farming update:
  • When farming herbs, you will now receive Grimy herbs rather than clean ones. This will give some extra Herblore XP when cleaning herbs, and matches OSRS.
  • Empty watering can added to Ironman supply shop.
• Bones on altar update:
  • You can now use Superior dragon bones on altars, including POH altars (gilded and otherwise.)
• Technical:
  • Fixed some bugs that were not allowing users to login at times (stuck on connecting for awhile)
• Miscellaneous:
  • From the previous update, the donator bonus on the Make Flax spell was not fully applied. It should now work as intended.
  • Fixed a bug which allowed Skotizo to teleport people from the ground floor near ::event up to the top. (During World boss massacre)
  • Event area “safe death” zone slightly expanded.
  • Random events disabled in raids.
  • Fixed Revenant caves entrance saying that you need a minimum of level 40 combat when it is in fact level 50.
• Yell updates:
  • Youtube icon will now show up in yell.
  • If you are a classic or ironman player but also a donator, your title in yell will now reflect your donator status.
    • For example:
      • Previously (where (*) represents ironman symbol):
        • [<gray>Ironman</gray>](*)Omicron: message
      • Now, assuming I am an Ironman but also a Legendary donator:
        • [<purple>Ironman</purple>](*)Omicron: message

Client update:

• Page-up button (or Fn+Up on OSX) can now be used by all players to re-enter your previous messages in your chatbox. You can also use Page-down to move through them.
  • This was previously broken for regular players and moderators.

Store update:

• JalRek-Jad reduced from 1500 tokens to 1000 tokens.

 

 

 

 
 
Enjoy :)

Hey guys,

I’d like to sincerely apologize for the lengthy downtime today. An exploit was identified on our website which urgently needed to be fixed, and we took extra time to ensure that we’ve properly patched this exploit for our security and that of all of our users.

It is impossible to have a perfectly secure website in today’s world, and as a result, it is something that most, if not all large websites will have to deal with at one point or another. We have done our best to ensure that this issue is patched, and we’ve increased our security to prevent this from happening again in the future. Your account should not have been affected by this, and neither has the trading post or any other website/game functions.

While your accounts and all personal data are safe, we will be forcing you to change your password every so often (starting today) and will continue do so in the future so that players do not recycle passwords between Alora and other websites. We are currently setting the frequency of password changes to 60 days and will change this if required.

The staff team and I would also like to thank all of you for your patience not only today, but through any road bumps that Alora has had in the past, your support means everything. :)

Regards,

Omicron
