2277 Team

Hello everyone,

 

We're back with another weekly update! This week's update contains a gift for players who've been with us since the beginning — the Veteran's shield, which is a large exclusive shield to show your support for Alora. As of this update, only 6,000 accounts have access to it (out of 425,000+), so only the most dedicated players will have it! There is no playtime requirement, it only requires a registration date of November 10th, 2016 or prior. Every day, more players will be allowed to obtain this cape.

 

We've also finally gotten around to some much request QoL, especially for UIM players. We've added STASH units, which allow you to store clue-related items that are required for riddles right next to the location. We've also added Treasure chests to PoH, which will allow you store hundreds of clue items to save bank space. We'll also be adding in some other methods of storage in this room very soon.

 

Aside from bug fixes, a few other cool updates include Name change tickets in the store, a buff to the Theatre of Blood drop rate (explained below), Divine green skin color as a custom donation, as well as the Divine spirit shield ornament kit that can be attached to your Elysian.

 

• Bug Fixes:
  • The Anger Spear is now tradable.
  • Brimstone chest count in drop announcements was 1 too low.
  • Fixed a bug with combination runes:
    • Previously, if a player had a combination rune for a spell they wanted to cast, but not enough of that rune to cast a spell, it would tell them that they didn’t have enough runes, even if they had enough regular versions of the rune required.
  • The drop warning will no longer appear for items that do not have a drop option.
    • This used to happen for actions such as dismantling the Bracelet of Ethereum for Revenant Ether.
  • Players who do not have the 60 slayer requirement will no longer receive basilisk knights as a task.
  • The Zamorak/Guthix/Saradomin vestments now require the appropriate prayer levels to equip.
• Potato cooking:
  • Due to popular request, players can now cook and eat raw potatoes.
  • Cooking a raw potato requires level 7 cooking:
    • Cooking a raw potato will grant 15 cooking experience.
  • Eating a raw potato will provide 1 hitpoint.
    • While this is technically possible, we recommend baking the potato first, and enjoying it with a piece of cooked meat, sourced from the cows in Lumbridge.
      • Thanks to @Elysian King” for helping us make this possible.
• Maxing announcement:
  • Players who max out every skill at 200M exp for a total of 4.6b experience will now have a news announcement displayed on the yell channel and on Discord as well.
• Alorian Shield: 3 Year Veteran Gift:
  • Players who have accounts that are 3 years or older (must be registered Nov 10th, 2016 or earlier) can now claim an exclusive item from Hans!
    • This shield will cost 5M, and can be reclaimed if lost on death for 500K.
    • As of this update, approximately 6000 accounts qualify for this shield.
• Rejuvenation pool update:
  • The delay between rejuvenation pool uses in your Player-owned house has been significantly lowered.
    • Previously, the default delay:
      • 1.5 mins for donators
        • 3 mins if recently in PvP
      • 3.5 mins for other players
        • 7 mins if recently in PvP
    • The new rates are:
      • 45 seconds for donators
        • 90 seconds if recently in PvP
      • 1 min 45 seconds for other players
        • 3.5 mins if recently in PvP
• Theatre of Blood changes:
  • The loot rate has been slightly increased:
    • We have modified the ToB loot rate a few times this year, once to match it to OSRS, and then we reverted that to allow all the players on the team a chance at receiving a purple chest (rather than one).
      • From your feedback, we've come to understand that the rate was a bit low, so we've bumped it up a bit to make ToB a more enticing activity.
      • If this boost is too low or high, we can reevaluate in the near future.
  • Sotetseg attack change:
    • Sotetseg's normal attacks (small red/black projectiles for range/mage attacks) will no longer hit anything through prayer.
      • Previously, correct overhead prayers would reduce incoming damage by 80%.
• Dagon’hai robe changes:
  • The Dagon’hai robes previously purchasable in the Castle wars shop can now also be found in Larran's big chest (in the Wilderness pirate ship) at a rate of 1/256 per piece, with a few changes:
    • Bonuses have been slightly increased (eg. +20 magic to +25).
    • Graphical issues (missing arms on some characters) have been fixed.
  • Anyone with the old robes has had them auto-updated.
• Larran's chest announcements / open count:
  • Rare loot from Larran's chest will now be announced:
    • At the moment, this only includes Dagon'hai robes.
  • The # of Larran's chests that you've opened will now be counted.
    • Unfortunately, this starts as of this update, so any previous chests you've opened are not already in the counter.
• STASH Units:
  • Various STASH units are now available around the game.
    • Each STASH unit is associated with a clue, and can store the items that are required for that clue.
      • These units do not have to be built, however they do have a construction requirement to use.
    • STASH units available:
      • Keep Le Faye: The STASH unit in Keep Le Faye can now be used, and requires level 42 construction to do so.
      • Wizard Tower: The STASH unit on the Wizard Tower Bridge can now be used, and requires level 27 construction to do so.

      • Ardogune Zoo: The STASH unit at the Ardougne zoo can now be used, and requires level 27 construction to do so.
      • Legends Guild: The STASH unit outside of the Legends guild can now be used, and requires level 27 construction to do so.
      • Port Sarim: The STASH unit on the Port Sarim dock can now be used, and requires level 27 construction to do so.
• Costume room treasure chest added:
  • Players can now use the treasure chest in the costume room in their Player-owned houses to store various clue scroll items.
  • The treasure chest can be used to store items from the following clue scroll difficulties:
    • Easy
    • Medium
    • Hard
    • Elite
    • Master
    • Upon clicking on the treasure chest, players will be able to select an option to choose which chest to view.
  • For the full list of items that can be stored in each chest difficulty, see the list available in this link: https://oldschoolrunescape.fandom.com/wiki/Treasure_chest_(Construction)
  • Players can store 1 of each type of item in the treasure chest (no duplicates), and there are various sets included in the lists.

      • The bonuses and effects do not change whatsoever, it only affects the appearance.
      • The ornament kit is tradable, but the shield becomes untradeable.
        • The shield can be reverted back into the regular Elysian to be made tradable again. The ornament kit gets refunded in this case.
        • If killed on death with this shield, it will be reverted to the regular Elysian (losing the ornament kit).

Big shout-out to Omicron, Staff Team and most importantly the community for keeping Alora going for 3 years. With that being said, lets get into the details of the drop party!

 

Also, for everyone who leaves a like on this topic, you will be entered to win 1 Cosmetic/Ultimate mbox each! Only 1 entry per person as we will be checking (no liking on multiple accounts, they will NOT count). There will be 5 total winners so everyone that likes the topic will be put into a random number generator and rolled, if it lands on your number, you will win the prize. Best of luck to everyone!

Hello everyone, 

 

Before we get into it, we're hosting some awesome events later today, make sure to read the full details here!

https://www.alora.io...-and-giveaways/

 

 

In just a few hours, it will officially be 3 years since Alora opened its doors to the public! It has been an exciting 3 years since we turned this idea into a reality, with many ups and downs along the way. I can still proudly say today that our community is hands-down the best of any RSPS, past and present. At the end of the day, you guys are the ones who make Alora what it is: the best place to spend your time with friends, to have fun, and to make new friends. Sure, we try our best to make things more enjoyable by keeping up with the latest content updates, and we can't forget our incredible staff team which makes this whole thing run smoothly without a hitch. Ultimately though, we wouldn't be anywhere without the community, so we'd like to thank every single one of you for sticking around with us, whether you just joined a month ago or have been here since November 4th, 2016. No matter the situation, we've always persevered through it and came out stronger because of you guys. It's been a blast having embarked on this journey with you guys 3 years ago, and I'm looking forward to many more great years to come!

 

Make sure to pick up a Birthday cake from Party Pete ate home to carry around during the celebrations!

 

Here are a few other changes we've included this update:

 

• Completionist monkey changes:
  • The Completionist monkey is the highest symbol of accomplishment on Alora, signifying a player's achievement of 4.6b total experience (200m in every singe skill) on top of the requirements for the regular Monkey.
    • This monkey will be worn by very few (As of today, only 8 players qualify) but will surely not go unnoticed when a player is wearing it.
    • The 'cape' is similar to the standard monkey, though the monkey is gold-trimmed.
    • The cost to purchase the cape from Mac in Edgeville is 25M, and 2.5m too reclaim if lost on death.
    • As of now, the stats on the cape and it's functions (teleport functions) are the same as the regular Monkey. It is mostly intended to be a symbol of accomplishment, without introducing higher bonuses.
• Bug fixes:
  • Fixed the Dragon harpoon weapon interface.
  • Fixed the Infernal harpoon weapon interface.
  • Fixed the Crystal harpoon weapon interface.
  • Fixed the Corrupted harpoon weapon interface.
  • Fixed the bank booth in Catherby that wasn’t working.
  • Replaced all the undead druids/sraracha NPC’s in lumbridge swamp with the appropriate frogs.
  • Replaced the Hard leather body in one of the new clue scroll steps with a regular leather body.
  • Spooky robes & the Pumpkin lantern can now be reclaimed from the Lost items manager when lost on death.
  • Skotizo will now only skull/teleblock players if he's in the wilderness.
  • ::wc command will no longer place you in a tree.
• Quality of Life:
  • Rada's blessing will now go to the Reclaimables shop on death, and can be repurchased for 250k gp.
  • The sand pit in Relleka can now be used to fill buckets with sand.
• Vote shop addition:
  • Everyones favorite boots have been added to the Vote Shop:
    • Desert boots can now be purchased for 200 vote points.
• Vote book changes:
  • Restricted game modes can now only claim bonus experience from vote books once every 12 hours.
• PvP Weapons/Armor changes:
  • We’ve made many changes to PvP weapons/armor, including the following:
    • Players can now charge their PvP weapons/armor with pk points by using the items on the Emblem Trader.
      • Each charge will cost players 2 Pk points.
        • This unfortunately meant that we had to reset everyones PvP weapons/armor charges to 0.
    • Players can uncharge their PvP equipment at any time by right clicking on the item and clicking “uncharge”, and will receive a full pk point refund.
    • If a player dies with a piece of PvP equipment, they will lose that item, and have their charges on it reduce to 0.
      • The player who pk’d them will receive the item.
    • PvP items no longer crumble to dust if they reach 0 charges.
      • Instead, they will provide no bonuses at all, and each time a player attacks with the item, they will receive a warning that they are not getting bonuses from that item.

 

 

 

 

 

Once again, thank you guys for being a part of Alora for the past 3 years  

 

We hope you all enjoy the events later today!

 

Best Regards,

Omicron, Chad & The Staff Team
