This Week in RuneScape!

Amascut now comes with new Combat Mastery Achievements to test your skills (4k Enrage is on hold for now). Runecrafting has had a major quality-of-life tune-up with smoother attuning, skull fixes and more. The Froggly Outfit is back free in the Marketplace until October 5th with a new Parasol, Cape and a charity pet to support Safe In Our World, Blueprint for All and SpecialEffect.

RIP Amascut GMs being at 2k instead of 750 like Zamorak - good luck GMs! I had all group UO/Perfects done, but not after this =X

Is it me or is the new multiplier not working in Leagues yet? I just got a bit over 7k xp from 54 essences while doing death runes through Abyss. I'm currently level 83, which means that the xp should've been +250% over base. (That's how I read it in the patch notes) According to my calculations, I should've gotten over 16k xp for that if all multipliers would've been active. (+250% from level, +12x from leagues T6)

#

just calced it from previous info and new testing, savvy is NOT working in leagues.

obtuse geyser
#

There are multiple area tasks unable to be done on leagues, and players are fully locked out of them. Any plans to fix them?

Elite seers, fertile soil step. Elite tirannwn, requires use of a cosmetic, which we cannot do since cosmetics are disabled.

scenic cove
#

Would love more communication or just a simple jagex created list of what they're working on fixing and some actual focus on fixing stuff instead trying to cater to quest haters and unlocking more stuff

#

No reason to unlock more stuff if so many tasks are bugged anyways

obtuse geyser
#

Yeah, the communication hasn't been great. Would really like to know what is actually being worked on being fixed.

#

There's still loads of bugged tasks and interactions, like over leveling a skill to 99, and we literally don't know when/IF it will be fixed.

spare acorn
#

we have bugs listed in #leagues-bugs

scenic cove
#

Most of us know that (probably) but the simple things like a jagex person posting that list instead of a discord mod goes a long way to making it known jagex themselves are also aware and working on things

#

Especially for the bugged tasks making people miss out on hundreds of points 🙁

spare acorn
#

i can bring that up, but we would lose a bit of flexibility with keeping the list as current as possible

#

since a jmod might not be immediately available to repost the list

obtuse geyser
spare acorn
#

if they are on the list, they have been acknowledged by jagex

scenic cove
#

Could be as simple as one of them just posting a comment at the top or bottom of the channel saying "we know about it now leave us alone" but ofcourse is more official language P

obtuse geyser
#

The fact that one diary is completely impossible, the cosmetic override step, is kinda telling.

scenic cove
#

Like i said i'm sure they know but just seeing a jagex name around there instead of a discord mod goes a long way for how people look at things in general

#

Just like how after 3 weeks we finally had reply about not having the cosmetic mega drop experiment survey

obtuse geyser
#

Hopefully the communication gets better.

#

Too bad merging essence & pure essence wasn't part of this update.

#

Every other skill guide display levelling benefits in a cumulative manner (at every unlock it shows you total bonus in comparison to base value) but new savvy RC buffs are displayed as „+50/75/25%” at every unlock instead and o think it’s both inconsistent a d confusing, since it doesn’t dpecify whether it’s a bonus over initial or previous value.

#

Plus it requires you to manually backtrack in guide and add up orevious values

oblique zealot
#

yeah, here's smithing for comparison:

shows the new total when you level up

#

any chance we can get some numbers on the wildy sword abyss buff?
also does the buff apply if I leave it in the bank?
and how does the attuner interact with Nexus Mod relic?

that seems oddly specific

#

Any chance we can see some game health done to Construction?

#

It needs some love rn

charred edge
#

Did this unintentionally buff RC necro exp also or has it always been this high

random dune
#

It buffed Necro xp

charred edge
#

the buffs dont say it should be buffed so it's got me curious

random dune
#

Look in the guide

charred edge
#

yeah it says excludes necro

random dune
#

O

charred edge
#

meh if intended i'll continue

#

if uninteded then oops

#

i need necro runes

great more area task to do , just to get back to normal rates lmao

#

Either Abyssal Synapses aren't dropping anymore or they just sneak fixed singular essence spamming for them. Ive done 300+ single essences without a synapse, but just 5 mins ago before the other hotfixes they were dropping every 40ish essences

molten mason
#

hotfixed to 10k essence per synapse 💀

unkempt mica
#

that's a massive amount of essence

#

more concerned about Ilme's thread

#

cause that sets back expansive pouch by a lot

molten mason
#

Its about 100 runs with a good setup. Just imagine if they instead cut the XP you get per synapse by 75% and less runes, that way you can get pouches 2-3x faster by dropping essences and getting way less XP

#

Before hotfix you could get 60-80 synapses per hour, which is around 700-900k XP when turning in at Ourania + extra runes + 1 thread per synapse

#

Now its adding 1-2 synapses per hour to normal abyss running

balmy otter

#

Ok I've done more looking into it.

You really only need 1 Abyssal Synapse to make a masterwork staff, which is good, you need to use 7,500 essence to get a thread for a pouch anyways. So its essentially along the way.

Sadly the second part of the update, using the Synapse to get 250 runes and an xp bonus? every 10,000 essence? That seems a bit underlooked now. It makes some sense to add that if you're swimming in Synapses and don't want to make masterwork staffs.

Before any changes the previous Abyssal Synapse drop rate was about 1 every 2,500 essence.

This hotfix gives us around 4x less 🙃

#

This hotfix to me seems like a quick SLAP fix to stop Abyssal Synapses from flooding due to dropping essence on the floor "bug"/"trick"

Hopefully it'll make more sense with a real patch soon.

#

Imagine making 20000 runes so you could get the opportunity to get rng gifted an assortment of 500 runes.

molten mason
#

Its basically a tiny boost to GP at 110 RC with elite wildy tasks (1-2 more thread per hour with synapses)
Anyone doing abyss RC at lower levels without wildy tasks are mega nerfed for threads. No one is starting RC with elite wildy tasks so its a nerf to low levels.

#

The complaints have always been that we need more ways or higher rates for thread, but this update has only boosted threads by a miniscule amount for the 110 RC crowd and nerfed it for most others. Such a weird choice

balmy otter
#

I do think that removing the skull is good. Shifting the thread rate should have been a bit more forgiving.

It looks like the previous skull rate is spread across the wilderness tasks at 1/4 per tier. with Elite giving the previous full amount.

I think it would have been nicer to see NO tasks get 1/4, Easys get 2/4, Mediums get 3/4, hard gets 4/4, and Elite give 5/4. So generally it's a thread rate increase vs "same ole same ole"

#

So generally more threads with no tasks, and more threads compared with elite tasks completed.

#

Then again bots so maybe easy gives 2/4 and no tasks are just 0/4 still.

#

Maybe Mod Frosch can give some more discussion about it currently. Its 9/10ths of the way there imo.

#

i suggest renaming the achievement to "You Cat To Be Kitten Me Right Meow"

fossil herald
#

Am I missing something?

civic rune
#

what

#

the post on the website doesn't say that

civic rune
#

guess whoever wrote the announcement made a mistake?

fossil herald
#

Looks that way - in game it is the way you suggested, and has been since release AFAIK

civic rune
#

sweet

#

shout out to whichever jmod watches blitz lmao

#

(maybe)

#

(i know different people can independently come up with the same joke but it would be funny if it came from blitz)

fickle stirrup
#

Always nice to see Charities making a return in the game 🥰

winged slate
#

Cosmetic auras get changed? They look smaller/tighter to the character and don’t trail much anymore like they used to.

supple crown
#

yeah what happened to the tumeken aura? it looks so faded and unnoticeable now, this is really upsetting

#

especially since this is an unannounced change to a very limited time unlock that people worked really hard to get

shut sail
#

Agreed @supple crown

supple crown
#

I hope this was an unintended side effect of something else like fixing the appearance of the 2k devourer aura because if they meant to do this, wow....just wow wtf

winged slate
#

Agreed, was pretty disappointing to see

supple crown
#

I'm hoping it was exactly that cuz I'm looking at the sanctum aura now and the eyes are not lined up correctly anymore

warm drift
#

the xp rates for runecrafting arent the same as before - when I would go to do soul runes with a full altar charge, demonic skull, and bxp, I'd get around 110k when I crafted the runes. I just did a full charge now to test, and I got ~47k xp.

According to the newspost the demonic skull no longer gives the upgraded xp buff going through abyss? I dont know whats going on then

#

am i unaware of how the new xp rates work or is this something that hasn't been caught by the jmod team yet for soul runes?

#

...Housing mostly 😅

#

Housing needs some love badly

pale crest
#

but what about the houses specifically? Graphical? like I am not seeing what the purpose of even having a House in rs really is currently.

random dune
#

Some place to live, for one. For another, to store your stuff

#

It just needs more rooms, more items to put in... being able to sleep in your damn constructed bed

lilac igloo
#

Needs a bathroom too; been holding it for so long

random dune
#

Meh. 🤷 That too I guess.

Utility.

fossil herald
#

Oh, you were joking. Nevermind, sorry I blew up.

unkempt mica
#

I think 7500 is way too much for the pouch

#

synapse doesn't matter as much cause it's masterwork

past osprey
#

THIS IS NOT OKAY!

UN-NERF THE AURA!!!

I didnt buy it. Thanks for the troll though. One more person we can silence. Reported 🙂

#

Amascut isnt a hard boss

#

That was 2020 ... this is 2025

#

Im master trim comp and insane final boss

#

Solo bosses dummy

scenic cove
past osprey
#

Then play another game ?

scenic cove
#

Nah just waiting for jagex to give us the cosmetic toggle since they realised cosmetics can be a big issue

#

I dont ragequit over a small problem

past osprey
#

^ there ya go dont take away the achievement of others with opinions until that day happens then

#

Im just tired of small problems. Indie companie you would think. Every update breaks something else. Cuz no QA.

scenic cove
#

What you find a small problem the bigger part of the playerbase finds a bigger problem

past osprey
#

Oh like 5% of tasks not being claimable until 2 weeks in?

#

or the fact that relics breaks quests and other tasks? Like the farming one? or that 20 years of quests did seem like a problem in an 8 week game mode with 50% of the games content and power locked behind it?

#

This game costs as much as AAA game like wow. We should expect better

balmy grail
#

Anyone else not getting the boosted rune crafting xp rates if they use a wicked hood teleport? Seems to work fine through the abyss.

Regarding the combat aura change:

Unintentional change. We'd been tweaking it slightly in WIP to fix some issues, but it was done in the Combat Mastery build, so got caught up in the upload

Will get a job raised.

So you can't just teleport with enhanced experience. The savvy bonus is for altar running.

#

There was no mention of the tumeken aura (week1 2k) being changed and yet its been absolutely gutted! Why this unannounced change? It was a beautiful aura and now the best parts (heiroglyphs and vertical beams) are almost complwtely
Gone)

scenic cove
#

soon™ to be fixed

#

Without looking in this thread I would have never known you needed to have the wilderness sword in your inventory to benefit from the thread chance boost. Unsure why it isn't an "at all times" buff, as I kinda figured it would be.

crimson falcon
wet thistle
#

Not something that was ever intended to be farmed

#

And drop essence and craft it one at a time is a way worse meta than having it based on rune count and pushing people to do airs

#

My immediate thought when I saw the change was “wait, why in the world wouldn’t they have changed it to just be based on input count rather than output, that would be much simpler and make more sense”

fossil herald
#

Quick question - is it possible improved droprates don't apply to kal'gerion demons for some reason? All of this KC has been done at t5 with 4x droprates, yet my rare drops are about on rate (a little worse, actually) than what I'd expect in the main game:

image.png
#

Normally I'd assume bad luck, but the sample size is getting large enough that I'm no longer convinced that's the case.

#

For a bit more context:

Commendations
Expected at 4x: 9.4 Expected at 1x: 2.35 Actual: 2

Demon Slayer Gear
Expected at 4x: 37.6 Expected at 1x: 9.4 Actual: 8

random dune
fossil herald
#

(if not than my question stands)

random dune
#

Not particularly. It could provide triple health restoration

#

Have it stack with the constitution cape

fossil herald
#

Banks provide almost instant health regeneration already.

random dune
#

Fair

#

I guess I would just like to see my guy sleep

#

We never see our player characters sleep

#

At all

fossil herald
#

Use the Dream spell on Lunars

random dune
#

Not the same

fossil herald
#

(it actually provides that boosted health regen you asked for if memory serves)

thorn kindle
#

was the abyssal runic synapse changed?

#

just did two inventories, crafting 97 each time, no runic synapse

floral summit
#

is Crafting to Your Own Rune still required to unlock synapses?

unkempt mica
#

very much enjoying the runic attuner changes

#

only problem is the way the 7 charge any altar thing functions is confusing on the tooltip

#

cause of the way the attuner counts charges

violet sequoia
#

Bit of a bummer that unstable essences don’t work with savvy runecrafting, but I guess that was to be expected.
