Cuddeh

I've heard construction is in the works so I thought I would post a few suggestions before it releases

1) Make mahogany trees cuttable before release so we can prepare

2) Convenient sawmill or Plank make

3) Direct teleport to mahogany / teak trees in teleport mage

4) Possibly adding more trees to the game, either in ::dz or elsewhere

Since I started my Ironman, there is a couple of things I'd love to see to improve the game and also the realism of the game towards OSRS;

Slayer Shop

• Noted items for 3K points in the Slayer shop (D'hides, Herbs, skilling supplies in general). The ability to note items would be set to default items on the shop. For example, you would pay 3K points to unlock the ability to get noted D'hides, then another 3K to get Herbs noted, etc;
• Ability to block tasks. This is more important to players that don't have donator status and need to use a lot of points to get a certain task or to skip certain tasks;
• To make Slayer more challanging and not so easy to do, add the option to unlock certain monsters has Slayer tasks, and bosses;
• Add the option to learn the ability to create a Slayer Helm for 1K points.

Godwars

• Bandos is to overpowered and unbalanced;
• Bree isn't coded;
• Melee minion on Armadyl doesn't attack back most of the times;

Dagganoth Kings (Instanced)

• When they respawn, they instantly look for you and attack you, even if you're out of sight;
• Rex can't be safespotted (I think) like OSRS;

Lock your doors.. 

Approach with caution only!

Diva and Cuddeh, also known as the ruthless magic seed thieves, are wanted on Alora..

Notorious magic seed thieves are dangerous and always heavily armed with magic seeds!

Have YOU seen them? 

Description:

Diva and Cuddeh widely known for cleaning out the entire magic seed market from Trading Post.

They are presumed to pay the street price of 2mill per seed.

They have beyond high experience in Farming and Thieving and are fond of disguises.

Last seen at Varrock's tree patch. Beware!

Reward will be paid in full of 1,000,000,000 GP & magic seed leftovers!

Please report to chief inspector Scenery immediately if you happen to acknowledge these criminals.

Credit to Mr. Ikta for the mugshot.

So on this lonely night, big Scenery was lookin for some quick meals to quench his drunk hungers. Chinese food was the only option at this time of night. This was mistake number one. The delivery fee for a shop thats 10mins away was extremely high at a rate of $10 USD, thats like a whole meal.
 
Today I will tell you the terrible tale of the series of unfortunate events i've had. It all started with orange chicken sauce all over my thunder thighs.
 

 
Shortly after, i begin to pump everything wrong with my precious fast food order as seen below. 
The CSR representative decided to get sassy with me but I held my tongue in cheek as I'm now a reformed member of the community and I must represent Alora as a whole. Fucking cunt.

 
Clearly he did not understand the dire situation i'm in right now. Currently I have many alora members angry at me because i did in fact promise them fried bread balls.
 

 
Mr. Nathan decided to defile my name, what a dog.

I will be creating a Yelp account, putting on my dads wedding tuxedo as well as my collectors edition Micheal Jackson fedora just to give this resturaunt an extremely terrible review. They will pay for trifling with #Frogsquad.

Hey guys, 

This update is intended to hold things down while we finalize work on the Inferno, which should be available in Alora in the very near future! Some highly request bug fixes have been implemented, as well as an interesting new Killcount milestone system which boosts NPC drop rates when you hit certain milestones. 

Updates:

• Fixed NPC spawning issue:
  • Some NPCs weren’t spawning in instances in mini-games. This should no longer happen.
• Killcount Milestone Bonuses:
  • Thanks to @Jare for the idea!
  • To make your endless PVMing experience more enjoyable, we’ve added a new system to give you a bonus when you reach PvM milestones!
    • For example, when reaching 100 kills for Corporeal beast, that drop will have a 5% better chance at loot. On your 500th kill you’ll have a 25% better chance. This % caps out at 33%, so after you’ve reached the 750 milestone it’ll always be 33% increased chance.
      • Example:
        • This means that if an Elysian spirit shield is 1/450 chance, on a milestone kill it’ll be 1/297 instead, making it considerably more obtainable.
      • An in-game notification will tell you when this increased drop rate takes place.
        • You’ll see a purple message that says something like“Your rare loot chance has been increased by 12.5% for your 250th Zulrah kill!”
      • This happens at 100 kills, and every 250 thereafter
        • (eg. 250, 500, 750, 1000, etc)
      • Formula = (killcount / 20) || 33.3%
        • Whichever of these is lower will be used.
      • This is similar to the permanent Uber donator drop rate boost of 7%, which also stacks with this.
• Void equipment changes:
  • Buy-back price cut in half
• Corporeal beast core fixes:
  • Dark cores will now de spawn when corp dies.
  • Dark core animations/bonuses fixed.
• Drop rate changes:
  • It should no longer be possible to get two unique drops (Eg. Two Dagannoth rings) in one drop.
  • Additionally, it is now possible to obtain more than two drops from a boss.
• Login screen “Last logged in X days ago” added.
  • We’ve removed the “You are logged in from IP / MAC” as some video-makers were forgetting to blur this out in their videos, and it is not necessary for most people anyway.
    • In it’s place, we’ve added the “You last logged in X days ago” function which will show you how long it has been since you’ve logged into the game
• Duel arena fixes:
  • If you stake any item that you don’t have room for (eg. You’re holding 2.1b in your inventory and win 200m), the winnings will be added to your bank if possible. If not possible, the winnings will be dropped on the ground.
    • Messages will be sent to notify you if the winnings could not be added to your inventory, and whether they were banked or dropped.
  • Forfeit death bug fixed:
    • A bug has been fixed which caused a player to die and lose their items if they forfeited at the exact moment they take the final hit. It was a rare bug that only happened under unique circumstances, but a necessary fix nonetheless.
• Background updates:
  • Major performance improvements across the board
    • Less CPU/Memory usage which lead to increased stability have been applied.
• Trading post fixes:
  • Mostly performance enhancements to put less stress on the server, but also a bug fixed when refreshing search results for a player search which would show incorrect search results.
• Miscellaneous:
  • Dragon defender (or) is no longer stackable.
    • This means that it can be bought back from the Lost items manager.
  • Fixed bug that made it possible to pickpocket NPCs more quickly than usual.
  • Fixed misc. bug with cannons
  • ::discord command fixed — link was expired.
  • Staff command update:
    • ::steleto will no longer be silent if teleporting to an administrator.
• Fixed Quick-prayer bug:
  • After dying (or entering an area where your prayers are automatically turned off), you would have to click twice to turn your quick-prayers back on. This has been fixed so that you must only click once as intended.
• Giant mole killcount and kill time will now be recorded.
  • They’ll also show up on the boss PvM records lectern at home.
• Snakeskin crafting:
  • Snakeskin (obtained by killing Zulrah) can now be crafted into different items!
    • Using a needle on a piece of Snakeskin(while having thread in your inventory) will allow you to craft:
      • Snakeskin body, chaps, vambraces, bandana or boots.
        • NOTE: In the GIF below, the wrong amount of required Snakeskins is shown for testing purposes. On the live game, it is matched to OSRS. You need a whopping 15 snakeskins to create just the body.
• Miscellaneous:
  • Item fixes:
    • The Scythe is now tradable.
    • Banshee set and Hunting knife configurations added (and made tradable).
  • Fixed object clipping issue:
    • Eg. Energy barriers at home could not be walked through. Not sure which other objects this affected, but the bug has been entirely fixed.
• Free-To-Play Shop has been added
  • To assist in gearing for F2P Battle Royale events, you can now access the F2P shop which is located in the shop area and accessed by trading Oziach and contains:
    • Full rune, Fancy boots, Fighting boots, Rune scimitar, Rune battle axe, Rune 2H, Full green d'hide, Amulet of strength & Amulet of power, Coif, Swordfish, Lobster, Normal strength potion, Adamant arrows, Maple shortbow
      • Although most of these items can be bought from other shops, it makes things easier to place them all together. Also, the Fighting boots and Fancy boots are new to Alora and can only be obtained from this shop.

Keep an eye out for the Inferno soon, and we hope you enjoy this updates in the meantime! :)

On the day I joined Alora and got my first pet I set myself the goal of achieving all Pets ingame, skilling and pvm ones.

So since I have already a decent collection I thought about making a progress thread about it.

Currently 27 unique pets.

This thread will be updated everytime I obtain a new one :)

Last time updated 06.09.2018

Latest Pet obtained is Skotizo at 2 KC, RNG kicked in, sorry to those grinding for it.

Next Boss to be hunted down for the Pet: Zilyana/Vorkath

Hey guys,
Been a while since we've done a post, and we're kind of dropping a big one on you guys.

L E O N has been promoted to Server Support.

Transfers:

Sheep has been transferred to the forum moderation team, he is going on an internship and therefore his ingame activity will drop quite a bit. 
Twist bows has been transferred back into the server moderation team after finishing up his exams, and being able to return to ingame duties once again.

Resignations: 

Jare has decided to step down from his administrator rank, but by no means does this mean he will no longer be taking part in the administration duties that we carry out behind the scenes, it does mean that he will no longer be carrying out in-game duties that are found in the administrator duties.

I would like to thank him personally, he's provided input on countless issues that have come up, and sometimes given me insight on issues that I was unaware of at the time, as we were handling them. He's also provided great input on all past, and current staff members and I am truly grateful for all the work that he has done for Alora and building the staff team with me and other administrators. 

Now this may sound that he is no longer taking part in those activities; he will be but these are mostly things that happen behind the scenes and therefore I am giving credit to where it is due, but our journey does not end here and hopefully we can see him return to the administrator team in the future. 

Saint Lucia has resigned from the global moderation team due to coming to a point where he was burnt out of Alora, we all have those periods in which we struggle to find the motivation to play. 

James has resigned from his server moderator position due to irl problems. He's been a great asset on the team for the time he's been here and we hope to maybe work with again someday. Until then, we wish him the best of luck and hope things work out.

Demotions:
Conor has been demoted from Server Support due to inactivity. 

Congrats to those promoted, and best of luck to those gone.
