Slayer Updates

The equipped eternal Slayer ring now gives a 5% drop-rate bonus.

This bonus is also shown in ::dr.

Slayer casket coin rewards have also been updated:

• Caskets now roll 50k-150k coins by default.

• They no longer use the Coins x2 world event bonus.

• They still benefit from Thieving prestige.

More low-level Slayer task NPCs now count for Slayer casket drops, including:

• Zombies

• Skeletons

• Moss giants

• Hill giants

TzHaar Slayer assignments have been fixed so Fight Caves and Inferno monsters count toward the regular task.

Slayer prestige requirement reduction has also been fixed for Krystilia tasks, so Wilderness tasks can be fought correctly while other prestige bonuses remain disabled in PvP areas.

Slaughter bracelets now refresh the visible task count when a kill is preserved, without needing to manually check the task.

Perk Changes

A few Remnant Store perks have been adjusted:

• Four? Sure! now makes the fourth Scythe of Vitur hit follow the half-damage pattern at 12.5% max hit.

• Vigour of Inquisition now requires full Inquisitor armour and an Inquisitor’s mace for its crush boost.

• Soul Stealer’s minimum-hit boost now only applies to powered staff magic.

• Infallible Shackles has been disabled and removed from the perk shop, while existing unlock data is still recognised.

Event and Diary Changes

Ganodermic Beast event health now scales from 3,500 HP based on active online players.

It gains 100 HP per player, up to a 20,000 HP cap.

Western Provinces Chompy bird diary hat requirements have been lowered to:

• 30 kills

• 70 kills

• 125 kills

Item Fixes

Ring of shadows has had several fixes:

• Charging

• Tablet unlocks

• Checking charges

• Uncharging

• Destination teleports

Toxic staff of the dead charging has been fixed. Zulrah’s scales can now be used on both uncharged and charged staffs.

Death spawns now drop fiendish ashes instead of regular ashes.

Boss and Minigame Fixes

Revenant Maledictus health scaling has been fixed. The boss health display should now show the scaled health properly and update as the fight progresses.

Tombs of Amascut party creation has been fixed so old lobby state is cleared before creating a new party.

Kraken has been fixed so the boss spawns immediately without tentacles and faces the correct direction on respawn.

Verzik damage has been adjusted:

• Phase-two electric hits are lower.

• Insulated boots halve the reduced hit.

• Phase-three green meteor damage remains capped at 30.

Drop Viewer and Emblem Fixes

The Game Noticeboard drop-rate boost display has been fixed so it shows the full drop-rate bonus properly.

The home Emblem Trader now exchanges Wilderness Slayer mysterious emblems and revenant ancient artefacts for their correct rewards.

The following Wilderness boss drop tables have been fixed so uniques and common drops show correctly in the drop viewer:

• Callisto

• Artio

• Vet’ion

• Calvar’ion

• Venenatis

• Spindel

Skilling and Utility Fixes

The Blast Furnace bar dispenser has been cleaned up so the Empty option only appears when it can actually be used.

Coin pouch stacking has been fixed. Ardougne diaries now raise the pickpocketing pouch limit to:

• Medium diary: 56

• Hard diary: 84

• Elite diary: 140

The Wilderness Slayer Cave crevices have been fixed:

• The four Agility shortcuts now require 77 Agility.

• The shortcuts now move players between the correct cave sections.

Royal Titans

Royal Titans had more testing and fight-behaviour work in this update.

The boss is still locked and not publicly accessible yet, so the details are being kept light for now.
