Boss Caskets

Easy, Medium, and Elite Boss caskets have been added to boss contracts.

Boss caskets can come from contract kills and completion rewards.

Basic Task Scrolls

Basic task scrolls have been added. These let players choose a Slayer master and pick from three normal task choices.

Slayer caskets and the Vote Shop now award Basic task scrolls instead of exact Slayer task picker scrolls.

Exact Slayer task picker scrolls have moved to the Hunter Marks Shop for 100 marks.

Skilling Contracts

Skilling Contracts now give skill XP when completed.

More Skilling Contract objectives have also been added across:

• Mining

• Runecrafting

• Cooking

• Fishing

• Herblore

• Fletching

• Crafting

• Smithing

• Woodcutting

Clue scroll and skilling outfit chances are now increased while working on matching Skilling Contract tasks.

Daily Challenges have been replaced by Skilling Contracts across the board.

Skilling Contract assignment has also been fixed so tasks use the correct skill requirements, and mining sandstone now advances its contract properly.

Bird Nests and Hunter Traps

Bird nests now stack in player inventories.

A Search-50 option has been added so stacked nests can be searched in batches.

Hunter trap items now stack as well, including:

• Bird snares

• Box traps

• Magic boxes

• Rabbit snares

Farming Patch Protection

Gardeners now have a Pay (GP) option for protecting planted Farming patches.

Prices are:

• Standard patches: 100,000 coins

• Tree-type patches: 200,000 coins

Insulated Boots Perk

The Insulated Boots Remnant perk has been added.

With the perk unlocked, players keep insulated boots protection for rune dragons and Verzik’s electric attack without wearing the boots.

Veridia Guidebook and Wiki

Starter guide access now uses the Veridia Guidebook.

::wiki now opens the Veridia Wiki instead of the OSRS Wiki.

Gauntlet Reward Change

The Gauntlet x2 loot world boost is no longer selectable or applied to Gauntlet rewards.

The Gauntlet collection log completion reward now gives:

• 2 crystal armour seeds

• 1 mystery box

Herb Sack

Herb sack storage now scales with donor tier.

Higher donor tiers can store more of each grimy herb.

Tempoross

Tempoross had major progress this update, but it is still locked and not available yet.

Crystal Gear

Crystal weapon crafting and reverting have been fixed.

Standard crystal weapons now use and return crystal weapon seeds instead of crystal saw seeds.

Crystal seed stock has also been removed from the Blood Money shop.

Herblore Prestige

Herblore prestige resets have been fixed.

Herblore now starts at level 3 with starter XP after:

• Normal prestige

• Prestige voucher use

• Direct prestige resets

Demonbane and Tormented Demons

Demonbane weapons now apply their bonuses properly.

This includes:

• Silverlight

• Darklight

• Arclight

• Emberlight

• Scorching bow

• Purging staff

• Holy water

Tormented Demon fire shields have also been fixed so demonbane and abyssal weapons bypass the shield damage reduction.

Tormented synapse anvil recipes have also been fixed so Emberlight and Purging staff can be forged on any anvil.

Skilling and Donor Area Fixes

Donor-zone implings have been fixed so fixed spawns no longer despawn, retreat, or wander outside their island.

The Legendary donator zone chaos altar can now award Zealot robe pieces when offering bones.

Home thieving stalls have been fixed so nearby guards no longer attack players after successful stall thefts in the Thieving Stalls area.

Combat Fixes

Callisto and Artio have had combat fixes.

Magic knockback can no longer repeat until after three ranged attacks.

Melee splash damage now only hits players within real melee reach.

Zemouregal’s Base armoured zombies have also been fixed so their melee and ranged hits use the right attack animations.

Clan Fixes

Made some progress towards fixing the clan system.

POH Fixes

POH chapel statue build materials have been fixed.

Medium and large statues now require marble blocks instead of rune heraldic helms.

Drop Fixes

Drop tables have been fixed for:

• Barrows

• Dagannoth Rex

• Nex

• Zaros spiritual mages

Remnant Exchange

Amulet of Avarice now trades for 350 remnant points at the Remnant Exchange.

Other Fixes

Game Settings broadcast toggles now stay off after relogging.

Poll announcements now use the latest known poll data without repeatedly refreshing - this should stop the lag spikes.

The 150k GP Slayer task cancellation option has been removed from Slayer master dialogues.
