Veridia 0.37.0 - Boss Contract Fixes, Shortcut Cleanup, and Item Updates

This update is mostly fixes, with a few important ones for everyday gameplay: bank presets, boss kill credit, Araxyte cave travel, Basic task scrolls, and house access.

Highlights

Bank preset loading no longer moves newly banked items into the wrong bank tab.
Araxxor, Nightmare, Phosani, Callisto, Artio, and Nex now credit boss contracts more reliably.
Araxyte cave shortcuts now work properly in both directions.
Basic task scrolls now warn before choosing a Slayer master and no longer allow free rerolls.
Construction house access and estate agent prices have been fixed.
Remnant vouchers, bunny ears, Sleeping cap, Champion items, and several boss drops have been cleaned up.

Bank Presets

Preset loading has had an important fix.

If a preset was missing items, newly banked inventory or equipment could end up in the currently selected bank tab. That should no longer happen.

Your bank layout should now stay where you left it when loading presets.

Bossing and Contracts

Several boss contract issues have been fixed.

Araxxor kills now count properly once Araxxor’s death sequence finishes.

Group boss kills now credit eligible players more reliably at:

Callisto
Artio
Nex

The Nightmare and Phosani’s Nightmare also now progress matching boss contracts correctly.

Public Nightmare kills now have a faster 10-second wake-up countdown between kills, and regular Nightmare phase-one specials now rotate properly instead of repeatedly chaining husks.

Araxyte Cave and Rancour Route

Araxyte cave travel has been cleaned up.

The north, west, and central web tunnels now work properly in both directions, and the west shortcut no longer sends normal tunnel clicks into the amulet of rancour route.

The public shortcut also now plays the crawl-through movement before moving you.

The amulet of rancour secret route now checks the proper requirements and order:

Venom
Aranea boots
Correct tunnel sequence
Araxyte slayer helmet
Nid or Rax pet step
Final man stage

You can now also use an Araxyte slayer helmet on Vefari during the route.

The lone Araxyte stage now only progresses from a noxious halberd kill, or ring-of-recoil damage while carrying a noxious halberd.

Slayer and Task Scrolls

Basic task scrolls now show a colored first-use warning before you choose a Slayer master.

After choosing a master, your generated task choices are saved for that scroll. The scroll is only consumed once you actually select a task, and reopening it will not reroll the options.

The Slayer Rewards Store task button has also been fixed so it no longer clicks the wrong unblock-task slot.

Construction

Construction access now works more like it should.

Players must buy a player-owned house from an estate agent before entering through house portals or house teleports.

Estate agent prices have also been fixed:

Starter houses now cost 1,000 coins.
Buying a starter house now uses the Rimmington flow.
Players now receive a Construction guide after buying their starter house.
Moving your house to Prifddinas now costs 50,000 coins.

Rewards and Items

A few reward and utility items have been cleaned up.

Bunny ears can now be traded at the Remnant Exchange for 5,000 remnant points.
Remnant vouchers now support Read-X and Read-All when stacked.
Sleeping cap (afk) can now be worn.
Sleeping cap (afk) now gives a 10% AFK skilling XP bonus while equipped.
Champion perk items have been cleaned up and now high alch for 1 gp.
Calvar’ion’s 75 dragon bones drop is now noted.
Arkan blade now has its Twilight Temple teleport entry.
A missing range has been added where it was needed.

Other Fixes

A few more gameplay fixes made it into this release.

Donator Island eclectic and nature implings should no longer wander outside the playable area.
Lighting a bullseye lantern at the Rimmington chemist now completes the Falador medium diary task.
Demonbane spells can now target Abyssal Sire respiratory systems.
Telegrabbed Wine of Zamorak and other global ground items now respawn properly.
Zemouregal’s Base armoured zombie area is multicombat again.
