Hello guys!

I am glad to announce that we will be hosting another Secret Santa Event for Alorian Community!

Last year's event can be found here

How does it work?

You will be eligible for a gift from Secret Santa by giving him items with value of atleast 25M GP, so Santa could give you something and have something to give for the others!

Who do I have to trade?

You can message Tauri in forums, in game or in Discord, and he will handle the trades.

When do I find out what gift I got?

The Gifts will be drawn on Sunday, December 24! More info about it on Alora discord. If you are not available on this day, you will receive your gift at a later date!

Who gifted me?

That will remain as a secret! 

I will draw the Winners, and everyone gets a gift back if they are participating in an event! This is for building more Christmas vibes in our lovely Community.

We will have more events planned for Christmas, make sure to hang around!

Happy holidays! It's time for ICE to host another bingo event! 

Event Information

Duration of the event:

The event will begin on the 22nd of December 3PM ST and will conclude on the 7th of January 9PM ST (server time).

How does it work?

This time, the event will be completely solo! I trust most of you already understand how bingo works, but for those who have never participated in a bingo event here's a tl;dr: You gain points by completing a bingo task, filling a row or a column gives you extra points. The player with the most points wins! Shortly before the event starts, all other information about the bingo board and the point system will be available through a spreadsheet in the ICE Discord.

Rewards:

The player who ends the event in 1st place will receive a  Tumeken's Shadow!

The 2nd and 3rd places will receive hefty  cash prizes!

Hello everyone,
 
Today's update will not be a full-fledged content update as per usual, rather it is simply to hold everyone off with some much needed Quality of Life updates & bug fixes to keep things running smoothly. We are also implementing some necessary backend changes to support mobile, so that we can soon open beta testing and allow the first few rounds of beta testers to get into the game on their mobile devices. Here are the updates that have been applied today:

• Welcome screen update:
  • Our welcome screen has been updated with the OSRS version.
    • This adds some hovers on all elements, and the bank pin / email boxes have been removed in favor of an update banner, which also can be clicked to play.
    • The update notes at the bottom can be clicked to take you to the update list on our website.
    • The "last logged in" message will now show you an exact time (eg. 1 hour, 25 minutes ago) rather than just saying "earlier today".
• Golden Hammer Changes:
  • The golden hammer in the store has been replaced by the Imcando hammer.
    • Any golden hammers that were purchased from the store previously will now be an Imcando hammer for players when they login.
  • This works the exact same as the golden hammer, except that it can be equipped by players.
    • This provides the added benefit of saving 1 inventory slot when doing activities that require a hammer in the inventory (such as wintertodt and smithing).
• Tokkul from Fight caves will now be more appropriately calculated:
  • We start with OSRS's initial calculation, which 127 tokkul per wave, and a total of 8032 for all 63 waves. 
  • We add our Alora drop rate multiplier to it (1.23) to make it 9879 tokkul, or 157 per wave.
  • We then apply a donator boost:
    • Regular: 5%
    • Super: 7%
    • Extreme: 9%
    • Legendary: 13%
    • Uber: 17%
    • Master: 21%
    • Immortal: 26%
    • Eternal: 30%
  • And finally, we apply the Elite Karamja diary boost (2x) stacked with the boost above.
    • This gives us anywhere from 9880 to 25,686 tokkul depending on Elite Karma diary boost completion and donator rank. Previously, the range was always from 11,250 to 22,500 regardless of donator rank.
• Quality of Life:
  • Resetting the presets plugin configuration will now clear all presets and sections.
    • These cannot be recovered, so be careful with this option.
  • Players will no longer be able to recharge their Iban’s staff (u) if they’ve already got the maximum 2,500 charges in the staff.
    • He will still replace the regular Iban’s staff with the charged version if possible though.
  • Aubury will now notify players how many charges will be added if they recharge their Iban’s staff, before they’ve paid the fee.
  • You can now respond to the "Do you have any gold in your inventory?" random event question with "0", "none" or the amount of gold you have, as some players were confused and thought it was asking for an amount rather than a yes/no. 
  • Sherlock's notes are now stackable.
  • Players can now obtain Sarachnis as a boss slayer task.
  • The toxic blowpipe now fires the correct dart projectile ids for all dart types.
  • Players can now access the companion pet plugin through the plugin hub.
    • This plugin allows players to change their thralls to look like a specific pet, or even summon their own cosmetic pet (that only they can see).
  • Minnow fishing has been opened up to all players.
    • This can be accessed by using the boat on the dock in the fishing guild.
  • Shanomi's "Claim-tokens" option has been changed to "Trade".
  • Claiming daily login rewards will now attempt to deposit them into a player’s bank if their inventory is full.
  • Granite boots will no longer be announced in yell.
  • Players can now use the empty/fill right-click options on the tackle box.
  • Blood reavers will now die after the blood phase is completed at nex.
  • Nex will now only use the drag attack on targets within 6 tiles of herself.
  • Added proper fletching animations for fletching darts, arrows, and bolts.
  • The elite clue scroll drop rate at skotizo is now 1/5 instead of 1/12.
  • A grym root will now be guaranteed to spawn within the first 20 gauntlet rooms.
  • Added the proper graphic after drinking a divine potion.
  • The Ice demon’s magic defence will now be calculated using its defence level, rather than magic level.
    • This will make magic attacks far more accurate.
  • Booster scrolls will now prompt the "Enter amount" option when setting them through the presets plugin.
  • The Skill of the day and wilderness bonuses will now automatically be accounted for in the skill calculator/banked experience calculator, if they are applicable.
  • Yelling can now be done by starting a message with 3 slashes rather than two.
  • All corporeal beast instances are now multi-combat.
  • The frozen cache now announces and logs senator shards.
  • Players can now grind ancient icons for 5,000 ancient essence.
  • Redwood tree seeds and mud battlestaves will no longer be announced over yell.
  • Players can now drag the chatbox around similarly to the minimap/inventory.
    • This will not move the location of Pm’s.
  • Tombs of Amascut QoL:
    • The Grand Chest will now properly show the "loot orb" when opening the chest, and the item that the player receives will be visible to other players in the room.
• Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed a bug where the regeneration meter plugin's special attack orb highlighting was in the incorrect position in fixed mode.
  • Fixed a bug where players would sometimes be notified they've withdrawn 0 of an item from the tool leprechaun.

  • Mithril dragon attack range has been increased.

  • Fixed a bug where certain bow of Faerdhinen variants were not being recognized by Falo the Bard.
  • Fixed a bug where players could still fail some Phantom Muspah tasks after leaving the area.
  • Players will no longer get the indicator message that their farming contract has started if they've just recently completed one and need to speak to Guildmaster Jane.
  • Fixed a bug where the weed whacker task would auto-complete if the player killed Hespori on the same tick that the flowers spawned.
  • Cave krakens that have been awakened are no longer aggressive.
  • Fixed a bug where rune thrown axes were not providing range experience.
  • Fixed a clipping issue with the snow goggles & mask.
  • Players who die in pest control will now be placed back in the boat, rather than removed from the minigame.

  • The price of potions and sharks in the realism general store have been doubled for balancing purposes.

SIRKERAVNOSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is your suggestion?:

Add the companion pet plugin to Alora.

Is this in OSRS?:

Yes.

Has this suggestion been accepted already?:

I don't think so.

How would this benefit Alora?:

I am tired of the thralls looking like the same thing over and over again. This would add some fun to thralls, they don't look funny to me. They look like they can hurt me.

What is your suggestion?: Give Osmumtens fang some kind of buff, at least inside TOA. It currently has barely any use. An example would be to buff Osmumtens fang damage after a certain invocation level (like 350+ invocations osmumtens fang gets a 5-7% dmg boost)

Is this in OSRS?: No, but on osrs Osmumtens fang is viable

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: No

How would this benefit Alora?: Let us use Osmumtens fang without losing DPS

Okay, as someone who has been playing realism for nearly entirity of his playtime. I can only say big no to this for a few reasons.

Realism has some of the sweatiest gamers and a lot of the achievements come from grinding for your supplies. I personally would instantly quit the server as the last challenge game mode for me is gone at that point. I feel like a lot of people just vote yes because they want to max realism from the bank buying out all normie supplies and just max easily.

We already got a low exp normie mode being classic. And that mode is completely devaluated by being able to buy uncuts/herbs/seeds and so much more and spam 200ms in a super fast and easy way.

And then im not even talking about realism players getting 3^rd of the gp from caskets/revenant emblems/ensouled heads. Which pretty much result in me losing out on 5b+ just from rev gp drops. Probably another 1b in caskets from slayer and another 500m from ensouled heads from doing 15k greater demons/abbysal demons just for 99 slayer.

Ex. Phanny phart would pretty much instantly quit his grind to 4.6b as of now he is/was using 2 different accounts to fund his entire 200m grinds. (He has over 4b realism exp on slayer/woodcutting/mining and rc and slayer alts) And that’s just one of the sweaty players, not even talking about kurfue, alan, Denmark, cheese, myself, exe, trumpwonbro.

Doing the realism merge will only result in 95% of realism community quitting the server cus it pretty much completely deletes all incentive to play the mode, and they’ll just end up leaving alora. And I love how not a single yes vote is someone with a realism account.

And to answer the ironman remarks of some here. If you guys played the fresh start worlds were blowpipes were 50m also at start. A lot of endgame realism players just collect their stuff for 200ms. I personally did sarachnis for 99 crafting. And I only did that dead boss which I would’ve never done for the sole purpose of getting supplies.

Tl:dr. It’d be great memes. But it would honestly result in most realism players quitting the game and move to other servers/games. And Ill definitely be one of them. Also I love how not a single person who plays realism have voted yes. And the reasoning from most pretty much all comes down to "Its too hard for me to get the forum award". Alot of realism players pick the seperate econ for the sole purpose of every drop meaning something to their account progression.

SUPPORT on the merge!

I quote as an old wise man once said: "Make realism what it should be, a normie account with a close to OSRS experience."

Support

I have been wanting to play Realism for a long time. I want an account I can spend months/years on and still feel a steady feeling of progression. But as it is right now where a few people basically run the economy is not for me.
