Dark Essence Perks

Two new Remnant perks have been added for dark essence:

• Dark Essence Satchel

• Dark Essence Carver

These improve dark essence chipping by raising the fragment cap and speeding up batch chipping.

Dark Essence Carver also has a 10% chance to finish a batch faster.

Heavy Slayer Caskets

Heavy Slayer caskets have been added as a new Slayer-task drop.

Slayer-task casket drops have changed from the old 1/10 Slayer casket to a 1/50 Heavy Slayer casket.

Heavy Slayer caskets roll the reward table five times when opened.

Heavy Slayer caskets are also supported by pickup toggles.

Farming Settings

A new Weeds grow back setting has been added.

Clean farming patches now stay weed-free by default.

If you turn the setting back on, weeds will start regrowing again.

The Weed Whacker boon has been removed.

Broadcast Settings

New settings have been added to mute:

• Bounty Hunter hotspot broadcasts

• World-wide tournament announcements

Players who opt out will no longer receive those broadcasts.

Fishing

Shark harpoon fishing spots can now catch manta rays as well as sharks.

Islwyn

Islwyn has been fixed.

Talk-to and Trade now open the crystal purchase dialogue.

Islwyn now sells:

• Crystal bows

• Crystal shields

• Crystal halberds

Crystal halberds require the Western Provinces hard diary.

Prestige Fixes

Converted "Yield" bonus to double resource chance for gathering skills that had it.

Hunter gathering prestige has also been fixed for multi-item catches, so trap rewards only roll one extra resource chance per catch.

Hunter birdhouse prestige rewards have been fixed so completed traps:

• Bank their rewards

• Give normal Hunter XP

• Restart the same birdhouse

• Do not consume seeds when restarted

Farming Fixes

Farmer’s Blessing scroll teleports have been fixed.

If a patch center is blocked, the teleport now uses the nearest valid tile instead of failing.

Farming instant-grow has also been fixed for health-check crops.

This includes:

• Trees

• Fruit trees

• Bushes

• Cacti

• Calquats

• Celastrus

These now stop at check-health and still give normal check-health XP and compost lives.

Ice Fiends

Ice Fiends have been restored at Ice Mountain.

An Ice Fiends teleport has also been added to the training teleport list.

Boss and Combat Fixes

Callisto and Artio freeze behaviour has been fixed.

The first bind/freeze spell now lands when the boss is not already frozen and the caster has positive magic accuracy.

Tombs of Amascut

Tombs of Amascut path routing has been updated.

The following paths now skip their puzzle rooms and open directly into the boss rooms:

• Apmeken into Ba-Ba

• Het into Akkha

• Crondis into Zebak

Kephri is unchanged.

Wintertodt

Actions should now continue through incoming cold hits, including:

• Chopping

• Fletching

• Picking herbs

• Making potions

• Feeding braziers

Reduced the amount of damage taken at windertodt.
