Hello everyone,
 
Today we're bringing you a huge QoL update to enhance your experience! First order of business is to bring in an additional free Rank Transfer for players who reach Immortal donator rank, to add a sort of stepping stone from Uber to Eternal in terms of rank transfers. We took the time this update to improve many parts of the game and website, including a streamlined new settings interface along with some new settings to tinker with, a reworked Hiscores now allowing you to see who has the most boss kills, clue scroll completions, and PvP statistics such as kills, killstreak, KDR and even deaths (highest death count being quite the achievement in it's own right!
 
Many interfaces throughout the game have been updated, such as Probita's pet interface, the addition of the Guide price checker (equipment tab), a new Items Kept on Death interface, Pet House interface. Gambling has also been touched up to be a more smooth experience with less bugs and more details during the gamble (displaying your current hand, as well as a chance at obtaining the elusive Flower crown if you're lucky enough!
 
We'll let you break down the rest of this lengthy update:

• Immortal Donator Rank Transfer Unlock:
  • Players who reach Immortal donator rank ($10,000) will now unlock a 3rd free donator rank transfer!
    • We've decided to add this since we felt that the gap between the last free transfer at Uber ($2,500) and Eternal ($20,000) was too big without including a transfer unlock in between, so this gives players another perk on the Immortal unlock.
    • Of course, current Immortal donators will also unlock this transfer, regardless of whether you've used up your previous transfers or paid for a transfer in the past.

• Hiscores Rework:
  • Hiscores have been heavily reworked! Aside from visual improvements and easier filtering / general bug fixes, you can now view the following hiscores:
    • PvP Statistics
      • KDR
      • Killstreak
      • Kills
      • Deaths
    • Clues
      • Total clue count, as well as individual clue count hiscores
    • Bosses
      • Bosses and raids killcount hiscores can now be viewed.
  • All of the hiscores above can be sorted by game mode type.
  • Viewing personal pages will now also show Boss killcounts and kill times.
    • In the near future, personal pages will also include clues/PvP statistics (along with additional ranking sections that have yet to be added) and skill ranks.

• Trading Post Price Guide Interface:
  • Players can now use the price guide button in the equipment interface to calculate the estimated value of certain items.
  • Players can add any tradable items from their inventory to the interface, and it will provide the total price of all the items, based on the current exchange value.
    • Players can also use the search feature to lookup the price of any tradable items.

• Item Consumption Device:
  • A new device has been attached to the trading post which will allow players to monitor the new Item consumption system.
    • Players will be able to view the total number of items destroyed, the current gp pool being used to purchase items to destroy, the history of all items that were destroyed, including the amount and average purchase price, and the 5 most recent items purchased and destroyed.
    • The device will also send up a puff of smoke every time it destroys another item.
    • Players initially may notice that many of the purchases seem distributed unequally (many prayer scrolls, light bearers, etc…), and this is due to the way we previously updated item values.
      • As time goes on, you’ll notice that it should start purchasing items more evenly (based on their price).

• Gamble Updates:
  • Flower crown:
    • You will now have a 1/8,000 chance every plant (during a Gambling session, so 1/1,600 per gamble) to obtain the Flower crown!
      • The tradable crown has 9 different color variants, and can be switched by right-clicking and selecting the "Change-style" option.
      • When obtained during a gamble, your character will have a rainbow-colored graphic play around them to let others know that you received the crown.
  • Predictive hand:
    • While planting, you will now be able to see in the chatbox what hand you have so far (eg. Three of a Kind) as well as your opponent's hand.
    • You'll also see color indicators to let you know whether you or the other player is winning.
    • Lastly, you can also see the total pot size in the chatbox.
  • QoL:
    • The yellow plus icon for the pot size is now a treasure chest icon.
    • You can now speak 2 ticks sooner at the end of a gamble.
      • Additionally, the winning player sometimes could not speak until they closed the Reward interface -- this will no longer be an issue.
    • Command changes:
      • ::fp and ::blackjack will now bring you to the Gamble zone.
      • The ;;gamble command will now bring you a bit closer to the gamble area, to the eastern end of the bridge.
  • Bugs:
    • When claiming GP from the Trading post (or claiming any items that would normally go to your inventory), they will now go to your bank even if it is full as long as you have a placeholder for it.
      • (Eg. You have a full bank and inventory but placeholder for gold, it will bank the gold)
    • Fixed a bug that would allow the loser in a gamble to logout at the last second, wiping the prize from the game and not awarding the winner.
    • Fixed a bug where if you staked too many items in the gamble window they would disappear.
    • Sometimes after starting a new gamble the accept button would still show "..2.."  from a previously cancelled gamble.

• Plugin-hub additions:
  • The Better NPC Highlight plugin is now available on the Plugin Hub:
    • Effective Levels:
      • Modifies the level in the stats tab to reflect additional bonuses, such as from prayer, and attack styles.

      • Outlines the player to always make them visible, even when behind objects
    • Tile Packs:
      • A collection of tile markers players can freely install
    • The Loading Lines plugin is now available on the plugin hub.
      • This plugin can draw lines on the region boundaries which can be displayed on the canvas, minimap, and world map.
    • The Slayer Assistant plugin is now available on the plugin hub.
      • This plugin can show players information regarding certain slayer npcs.
    • 9 Different styles of highlighting
      • Each highlight style has a name and ID list, color picker, width adjustment, and some offer an option to turn off/on anti-aliasing
      • Exclusion list of what NPCs highlights you do not want to hide when Ignore Dead NPCs is enabled
      • Respawn timer in ticks or seconds
      • Turbo mode for rave enthusiasts

• Donator Zone Additions:
  • Crystal Outcrops:
    • Crystal outcrops have been added to the gem mine in the donator zone.
      • These outcrops, when cut, will provide players with salve shards, which can be used on a ball of wool to produce a salve amulet (e).
      • Requirements:
        • Extreme donator+ for access to the mines.
        • There are no crafting or mining requirements, but players need a chisel to cut the outcrops.
        • Players must have previously purchased a salve amulet from Nieve to learn how to cut these outcrops.

• Pet Insurance Interface:
  • Probita now uses a proper interface for viewing insured pets, as well as reclaiming them.
    • The “Check” right-click option, or asking to reclaim a pet will open this interface.
    • Players can click the “reclaim” option on any pets in the bottom box to reclaim them for the appropriate fee.

• Pet House Interface:
  • Interacting with the pet menagerie in your house can now be done through a much cleaner interface.
    • Players can quickly view, remove, and add pets to their house menagerie.
    • Players can also use this interface to toggle their pets’ ability to roam their house.

• Items Kept On Death Interface:
  • We’ve updated the Items kept on death interface to a more modern variant, which allows players to see more accurately which items will be kept/lost in certain circumstances.
    • This will also highlight items that go to the reclaimables shop on death and show them as kept, so players can accurately see which items will be dropped to the ground or lost when killed.

• New Clan Settings:
  • Clan owners have 3 new settings to for their clan chats:
    • Announce Collection Logs:
      • This was previously a toggle, but has been given a drop-down menu so that owners can specify the minimum rank that the player must have to have their collection logs announced.
      • Items logged from The Collector will not be announced in the clan chat.
    • Announce Achievements:
      • This setting, when enabled, will announce when eligible members complete a combat achievement tier, or an achievement diary tier (as well as an entire diary region).
    • Announce Personal Bests:
      • This setting announces to the entire clan when a player beats their previously set personal best record for PvM encounters.
        • This only counts solo encounters (excluding raids).

• New Settings Interface:
  • We’ve re-worked the extra settings interface to be far more functional than previously.
    • The new interface will open a proper interface in the viewport, rather than a smaller interface in the player’s settings tab.
      • It will also provide detailed descriptions of the settings, and sort them into sections to make settings easier to find, as well as reduce clutter.
      • As some of you may have noticed, the extra settings interfaces on the vanilla/runelite client had different options, leaving many of the newer ones out of the Vanilla client entirely.
        • This new interface allows both clients to have access to all settings, with a dedicated section for vanilla client settings, which can only be accessed when using the vanilla client.
      • We’ve took this opportunity to expand the settings interface and add a few new settings for both clients:
        • Combat Achievements Repeat Failure:
          • When enabled, this will still notify players in their chatbox when they’ve failed a combat achievement, even if it’s already been completed.
        • Combat Achievements - Repeat Completion:
          • When enabled, this will notify players when they’ve re-completed a combat achievement task that they’ve already completed in the past.
        • Hide Wiki Banner:
          • This option hides the wiki banner underneath the minimap, and has been moved from the Interface styles plugin.
            • Players who had this toggled in the interface styles plugin will need to re-enable it in the new settings interface.
        • Always Stack Tabs:
          • When enabled and in modern resizable mode, this will cause the tabs on the bottom of the screen to stack onto of each other at all times, similar to how they do when the client dimensions are minimized.

• Ironman Rune Packs:
  • Paul now sells 3 types of rune packs in his shop, with unlimited stock!
    • Paul has difficulties sourcing runes consistently, so the packs in his shop are a mystery box of sorts, and will provide 500 total random runes of certain types.
      • Elemental rune packs:
        • These packs cost 125k each, and provide 500 random air, water, earth, and fire runes.

            • Master: 25% increased chance
            • Grandmaster: 50% increased chance

  • Sections.

  • The Escape crystals can now be equipped in the ring slot.
    • This does not have any stat requirements, nor does it provide any bonuses.
    • Teammates can still use the escape crystal on each other to teleport them to safety if the crystals are equipped.
  • Ring of Life Effect:
    • The Escape crystals now have an option to act as a ring of life only when equipped.
      • This option can be toggled on/off using the right-click Configure option on the crystal.
      • Enabling this option will disable the auto-activation feature when it is equipped.
  • Auto-activation timer:
    • Players can now set a timer (2-300 seconds) which will teleport the player to safety if they have not clicked/sent a chat message/rotated their camera in the set time after an npc/player attacks them.
    • This works in the same minigames/raids as previously (Raids 1/2/3, pest control, inferno, fight caves), and will also now work when outside of a minigame/raid.
      • The teleport will not function if the player is higher than level 20 wilderness.
      • This will also work in the Gauntlet if the player has the auto-activation set, and has a crystal equipped (with the ring of life setting disabled), or in their inventory.
        • Players will receive a notification that the effect is active.

• Music Plugin Changes:
  • Fixed an issue where the search/filter buttons were not visible on the music tab.
  • Added options to mute sounds that come from your own player, other players, or npc’s.
    • These are mostly limited to combat/area sounds, and may not cover every sound, but it will work for the vast majority.

• Theatre of Blood Changes:
  • Party System:
    • The Theatre of Blood no longer uses clan membership to build a team, but will instead use an interface similar to the Tombs of Amascut.
      • Players must create a party using the Notice board outside of the Theatre of Blood, and other players can then apply to join a party, similar to TOA.
      • Any player who wants to enter a raid must be part of a party.

• Dragon Claws Special Attack Changes:
  • The Dragon claws special attack now always rolls against the slash defence of the target.
  • The Dragon claws special attack now properly guarantees a damage range based on the first successful hit.

      • They will also no longer be moved to the incorrect positions when some prayers are hidden.

  • Fixed a bug where the first option would sometimes be “lock” even after restarting the client, even though the prayers were not currently unlocked.
• The bounty hunter teleport will now teleport hunters closer to their targets if their targets are running.
  • This is to account for the gap created during the teleport animation delay.
    • The ranges are now as follows:

      • Walking: 7-13 tiles from the target’s location

  • The abyssal dagger special attack now shares an attack roll for both hits, meaning if one lands, the other lands as well.

This month we have a some good interviews from Dinosaur Boy & Ghost.

-

H: What have you been up to on Alora recently?

Dinosaur Boy: In the past month I've been working on my new HCIM. For those that don't know, this is my 27th HCIM on Alora and all I can say is... This is the one! I've finally started the Zulrah grind and hoping to be CoX ready within the next week so we can get the supplies to max! Fun fact: The name Dinosaur Boy, once this account dies, there will be no more HCs from me... ever, just like the Dinosaurs.

 

H: If you had the ability to add or remove a game mode on Alora, which would it be and why?

Dinosaur Boy: Every now and then you'll hear a conversation about HCUIM (Hardcore Ultimate Ironman). I would absolutely love for this to be implemented on Alora with a low XP rate such as x4. This would not only create an actual challenge between the community but also a flex once individuals get to the end game stage of the account. To add on to that, I would take implement that once you've lost your HC status, your account is locked and you'll need to start over once more.

 

H: What's your most memorable moment on Alora so far?

Dinosaur Boy: I would have to say, being featured on a @Steel Nogan video sniping/calling a derwin pet off the master himself!

 

H: Are there any movies or TV series that you can recommend to the readers?

Dinosaur Boy: Recently I've been super addicted to the series Zoo, Falling Skies, Prison Break and F1 Drive to survive. Movie wise you can't go wrong with Titanic, The Lion king and of course Cars :Kaciao:

 

H: If you had 24 hours to do anything you want with no repercussions, what would it be?

Dinosaur Boy: My answer as a father would be to rob a few crypto kings, sell it off and set up the kids/family for the future and pay off the mortgage. The more realistic answer would be to go ram raid a few breweries and set me and the boys up with some bevys

 

Next up is Ghost

 

H: What have you been up to on Alora recently?

Ghost: Grinding towards comp currently, getting the 200m reqs done with fishing being the first completed. Working a little more during the summer and trying to enjoy myself as well so it seemed fitting to aim for some more laid back objectives. -

 

H: If you had the ability to add or remove a game mode on Alora, which one would it be and why?

Ghost: My honest opinion is we have enough game modes currently, but that's not to say Alora couldn't benefit from more in the future. I really enjoy the content during leagues and would love to see that make a return on a more consistent basis.

 

H: What's your most memorable moment on Alora so far?

Ghost: It's near impossible to narrow it down to a singular moment, I've been with the community since 2016 (Mag3rang3pk3/Fe Mag3 Fe) and real ones know there have been countless historical moments. One of my most memorable is the time I spent a part of the staff team back in 2018 - 2020ish, an absolutely solid team and one of the peaks of Alora in my opinion. I'd be mad at myself if I didn't include watching Paines eternal battle with a squirrel. -

 

H: Are there any movies or TV series that you can recommend to the readers?

Ghost: If you don't watch It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia you haven't discovered life yet. -

 

H: If you had 24 hours to do anything you want with no repercussions, what would it be?

Ghost: Remove everyones ability to Yell except for the PKers.

Hello everyone!
 
We are bringing back the development blogs! From now on, we are focusing on bringing the newer content to you before it actually gets implented into the game. This way the community will have a brief idea of upcoming newer content and features, in addition to bug fixes and Quality of Life updates.
 
But without further speech, lets get into the development blog. This time around we have many client-sided improvements, additions and appearance-related things, so that way people can customize their client the way they prefer to play.

As a first update, we are looking forward to updating game settings interface. The current version of the interface is relatively outdated and in order to give the best possible experience to players who like to play with advanced settings, we are bringing a newer, modernized version of the game settings interface.

We are also planning to give clans a little bit more features to play with. In the past we released collection log announcements for clan-chats, which have been proven to be relatively popular. Now we are amping it up by giving clan owners a chance to choose the minimum rank necessary for those messages to show, and also give them a possibility to announce completed achievements and bossing personal bests. We hope that it gives the clans a more pleasant experience and activity in building discussions and friendships. 

​

Items kept on death interface is getting an easier but modern version. That version of interface also will show the items that go to untradeable shop, giving players easier time to understand of what they are risking in the wilderness.

This one is for data lovers like me! Have you seen the player "ITEM_CONSUMER" buy your items? Have you ever wondered what items have been bought by the system? If so, then you are in for a treat! We are bringing statistical side of the item consumption device, which is accessible to every player, and shows how many items have been bought by the device. But be careful, if you see the smoke near trading post, then it is not a job for the firefighters!

​/>

Also, if you have been bothered by the way how chatbox is closed and private messages/broadcasts are shown, then this GIF below is for you:

Equipment stats have more information now!

No more "pc twisted bow"! The new price guide interface is showing the estimated value of certain items. And if you dont have the item yet, then you can search for it!

​

Presets are getting changed, now you can choose a fancy icon to decorate the way presets look, and much more!

We are looking forward to share more upcoming content in the next development blog! Make sure to keep in mind that those are newer additions to the game, that will come with plenty of bugfixes and QoL updates.

Any feedback regarding development blogs is always appreciated, we are excited to show some of the stuff we have been working on.

Wishing you a great week,

Alora Staff Team

Hey everyone,

Wow, I believe this is illegal.
