Hello everyone!

For the past few weeks we have been working hard at something that has been highly requested for many months, which is of course Leagues 3!

For those unfamiliar with the idea of Leagues, it's quite simple. You make a new account that is locked to the island of Kourend and your goal is to complete as many tasks as you can in 6 weeks. Achieving certain point milestones allows you to unlock Relics, which are overpowered boosts to your account.

For those that are familiar with leagues and maybe even played our previous version of Leagues over 2 years ago, we have made some changes. First of all, we have unlocked two extra regions. Karamja will be unlocked at Tier 3, and the Desert will be unlocked at Tier 5. Regarding relics, we have decided to take the best from the previous OSRS Leagues to make sure that you have to think hard before you make a permanent choice. 

Lastly, since this is a tournament, there will be some big prizes to reward the best of the best, both real-world and in-game. Points that you accumulate in the tournament can be spent on various cosmetics with the Leagues Tutor in Edgeville on the main game.

Now lets dive into some sneak peeks! 

Now a little look at some of the in-game rewards you can purchase, assuming you've acquired enough points during the league. 

We hope to see you enjoy our third edition of leagues in March!

Wishing you a great week,

Alora Staff Team

This month we have some great interviews from Ryuu & Gim Joseph. Enjoy the read!

 

H: If you could make any content of your own and implement it into Alora, What would it be?

Ryuu: I know literally every ironman wants a cooking NPC so I would go with that.

 

H: What is one piece of advice you'd give a new player to Alora?

Ryuu: As Alora is a server which is a near-perfect copy of OSRS, a new player would find everything they need to know on the OSRS Wiki - it's one of the best sources of information out there.

 

H: If you had to pick 1 skill on OSRS and remove it from the game to cause the MOST overall damage to the game/economy, which skill would you choose and why?

Ryuu: I believe removing Prayer from OSRS would cause the most damage. Most of PvM content requires you to use overhead prayers. Without overheads 90% of bosses would be nearly impossible and would have to be reworked completely.

 

H: What are your current goals (long term/short term or both) that you are currently working towards?

Ryuu: In-game I am slowly working towards finishing all of the Combat Achievements and greenlogging more Collection log slots.

 

H: If you were to go anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?

Ryuu: I grew up in a small town in Estonia and never really been out of the country much. I would love to go visit big cities like New York, Miami, Tokyo, Shanghai, Paris and many others.

 

Next up is Gim Joseph

 

H: If you could make any content of your own and implement it into Alora, What would it be?

Gim Joseph: I would add in a new area to explore with new quest, and new bosses, Demi-bosses and a group boss which can’t be solo’d, the new region would bring content which would have content for low/mid/end game items. Also a new mini-game that wave tiered like inferno, but it’s like Dominion Tower, wave by wave face bosses head on to see how far you can get, with rewards like a T90 armour and weapons, higher grade skilling items like explosive pickaxe  which has the ability to crush the rock and receive 4-6 ores, slightly faster than crystal, a lumberjacks hatchet.

 

H: What is one piece of advice you'd give a new player to Alora?

Gim Joseph: Be the best player you can be, don’t give up and keep on grinding, if you need any help don’t be afraid to ask, there is always someone there to help you, be it a staff member or a normal player in the Alora CC.

 

H: If you had to pick 1 skill on OSRS and remove it from the game to cause the MOST overall damage to the game/economy, which skill would you choose and why?

Gim Joseph: would choose Herblore because pretty much everyone relies on potions, can you imagine the fear everyone would have as the potions started to run out, getting to the last ones, it would ruin farming, bosses, slayer, camping monsters like bandits, could you imagine people trying to do inferno/nex/tob/cox without potions ohh the chaos would be great.

 

H: What are your current goals (long term/short term or both) that you are currently working towards?

Gim Joseph: My current long term goal is to achieve a maxed GIM, as I’ve never played on an Ironman before so it’s all new to me, and I’m really enjoying it and learning to be self sufficient as much as I can with my Team, as I don’t want to let them down. Short term goal is reaching 99 slayer as it’s by far my fave skill to do apart from Herblore/construction.

 

H: If you were to go anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?

Gim Joseph: Aotearoa or New Zealand as most people know it as, it’s one place I’ve always wanted to go to, I’m really fascinated with the Māori culture, and I’d love to spend time there learning all about it, and learning the language.

Since theres downtime with new content release on OSRS, I personally would prefer to get more QoL updates and bugfixes.

If there was to come a new league, then I would hope its not Twisted League again, but considering each league has their unique mechanics, it would take a lot of time to work out for the players, and by that time there may be new content released in the main game, which would be delayed here again.

So, lowkey no support but I wouldn't mind if there is a perfect balance between updates for main game and Leagues.

Part I - https://www.alora.io...pic/78554-i-46/

Part II - https://www.alora.io...ic/80968-ii-17/

After returning six months ago, I decided to finish what I had originally started: in Part II, I had completed all collection logs of the old versions of the wilderness bosses... but there was a lot to do after the rework.  Of course like the dummy that I am, I had dropped all of my inventory and gear when I had quit, so I had a clean inventory and slate to work with. I would not have to endure one hour death-pile another hundreds of times, thank God. I would risk it all (other than my 3-4 protected items) for the following three goals:

1 - All Wildy collection logs

2 - All Wildy combat achievements

3 - Obtain Voidwaker

My quick and simple path to finishing these goals

1 - Kill Revenants ::redskulled with crystal bow for Rev weapons and ether - Obtained Craw's Bow and Viggora's Chainmace

2 - Die often to PKers, go kill Revenants for ether

3 - Complete log and CAs at Venenatis - Upgraded Craw's to Webweaver Bow, Obtained Voidwaker Piece 1/3

4 - Die often to PKers, go kill Revenants for ether

5 - Complete log and CAs at Callisto - Upgraded Viggora's Chainmace to Ursine Chainmace, Obtained Voidwaker Piece 2/3

6 - Die often to PKers, go kill Revenants for ether (I am sensing a pattern here...)

7 - Complete CAs at Chaos Elemental, Chaos Fanatic and Crazy Archaeologist - Dropped Webweaver Bow

8 - Die often to PKers, go kill Revenants for ether (Copying this over and over again is almost as frustrating as having to replenish ether)

9 - Go dry at Vet'ion for Voidwaker piece, back to revs for ether

10 - Complete log and CAs at Vet'ion - Obtained Full Voidwaker!!!

11 - Die often to PKers, go kill Revenants for ether (Someone make it stop)

12 - Complete miscellaneous logs like full Dagon'hai, Eternal Glory, Kruk Jr (wildy course laps) and Ecumenical Key

13 - Die often to PKers, go kill Revenants for ether (I am dead inside)

14 - Complete Revenants log, praise Omicron that I don't have to step foot in this fucking cave ever again - Dropped everything

15 - Get basic gear and supplies for KBD outside of wildy: Hasta, Fury, and lots of potions (went to Herbiboar for antifires/prayer/super restores)

16 - Complete KBD log

17 - Cry because it's over:

Tips from my time as a UIM in wildy

1 - Always try to do any PVM on task for ancient emblems and Larran's Keys. You can trade in the emblems for PKP, great for quick supplies when PK'd:

2 - Learn which of your targets are friendly, and which are not. Having Iron/HC/Fe/etc. in their username does NOT mean they won't be hunting you.

3 - Don't get greedy hoarding ether for your Rev weapons, since you lose it all to a PKer on death. It's just more time you have to spend in Rev caves.

4 - Don't get greedy hoarding cash from Revs, either. Very easy to store it in LMS, Miscellenia Coffer, or Servant's Moneybag in POH.

5 - Use untradeables to your advantage, like Crystal Bow, Salve Amulet (ei), Barrows Gloves, Slayer Helm (i), etc.. They're cheap to buy back from Lost Items Manager when PK'd. Just make sure you protect your Slayer Helm (i)!

6 - Be very careful what items you are protecting, and always make sure you have some prayer-restoring potions to avoid getting Smited. Here's a sample inventory and equipment I was using at one point:

7 - If you are trying to complete Revenants log, make sure you start killing Maledictus sooner rather than later. I procrastinated and suffered the consequences of leaving it last. From my experience, it spawns once every 27 minutes...this is an incredible 2 kills per hour. Here are all the Revs I slaughtered:

8 - Use Daily Rewards (Food, Prayer Potions) and Daily Task Shop (Super Combat Potions) to replenish supplies.

Other Highlights

The SWH dream never came true...would have been such a flex, oh well:

B2B Rev weapons:

My only announced drop from Bloody Chest:

My First (and ONLY) Kill!!!

Finally got this little guy while prepping for KBD:

And here is the account as of right now!

Thanks to all the PKers on the server who were pretty reasonable - you could have killed me indefinitely, but there were many that would tele to me just to say Hi. It was a lot of fun getting to know all of you. And Thanks to Ice for keeping me sane and motivated to finish this, much love

See you in Part IV.

Hello!

Thank you everyone, who submitted their best memory of 2023. I did not expect so much popularity for that topic, but I had lots of fun reading all these through.

In addition to 5 announced giveaway prizes, we are going to add one more, which is $10 bond and H'ween mask set, generously donated by @Mlkkel

Giveaway draw results:

#1 - 3 Christmas Boxes: @Ryuu

#2 - Alora bond ($50): @lllaur

#3 - 500M GP: @Chase legend

#4 - 10x boosters of choice: @Dbird V1

#5 - Ancestral robe set: @Mensa

#6 - Alora bond ($10) and H'ween mask set: @Pex

Thank you all for participating, the winners will be contacted shortly!

What is your suggestion?:

In my opinion, Mystery Box, Super Mystery Box, Ultimate Mystery Box needs a rework. Why? Because as example for Ultimate Mystery Box which costs 150 tokens (100-120M in game) - 90% of the time, you get 0-15M rewards, 9.9% of the time you get 15-100M rewards, and 0.1% to get 100M+ item? Only people opening these boxes are one time tryers newcomers, who immediately regret the decision. I mean, receiving 50M item is already disappointing, but when you receive clue items, which are obtainable in couple items, it's just ridiculous.

Is this in OSRS?: No

Has this suggestion been accepted already?:Don't know

How would this benefit Alora?: Much higher attraction and satisfaction for opener and community of opening the boxes to receive more or less valuable in-game items. As well of more people buying them in store.
