Mining & Smithing Beta | Zodiac Festival

02/13/2018

To-do list for this week:

  • Get the new Amare outfit. Look drop-dead-in-the-Wilderness gorgeous while you...
  • ...rack up prizes in the new Zodiac Festival event, without forgetting to...
  • ...help out Mods Jack, Deg, Tomb and Shogun by taking part in the Mining and Smithing Beta and letting them know what you think of the content!

  • Mining and Smithing Beta

    Unleash your inner critic this week for your first look at Mining and Smithing 2.0, chockablock with new core mechanics to tinker with to your heart's content. There’s the ore bag, upgrading equipment, decorating equipment, heating with the forge, non-competitive rocks, new tiers of metal and much more! We want your feedback on all of it.

    No need to sign up and no need for membership. Just jump right in. Once you’re there, you can live your best life. Dreaming of 99? Here, you can be whichever level you like; what matters is getting your mitts on every bit of Mining and Smithing beta content we currently have on offer - no barriers, no restrictions. It’s all at your forge-hardened fingertips.

    When you arrive in the beta world, you’ll find yourself locked into one small area with all the Mining and Smithing content you’ll need. You won’t have access to anything else, including the Artisans' Workshop, cannonballs, mining outfits, auras, familiars and the toolbelt as these haven't yet been updated.


    The Zodiac Festival

    Celebrate in-game with our new event: The Zodiac Festival! Each day we’ll give you a new task to complete within three days in exchange for Zodiac Talismans, which you can cash in for mystery boxes (filled with XP and Zodiac costumes) and the occasional unique reward: the Zodiac Shield Override, the Tea Service Resting Animation or maybe even Foo the Foo Lion pet.

    Head over to the Events tab to get started and hand in your Zodiac Talismans - as many as you like, no cap - to Yinteng, just north of Lumbridge Crater. Ironman? All the above still applies, sans experience.

    You have until the 25th. Have fun!

    Amare Outfit

    Love is in the air, as they say, and we’re certainly feeling the pheromones. That’s why we’ve whipped up the new Amare outfit! Exclusive to Solomon’s General Store, this entrancing ensemble is sure to get sparks flying. Ready to get your Cupid on?

    Patch Notes

    Highlights this week’s patch notes:

  • Deposit boxes now include a right-click 'Deposit All' option.
  • The amount of times a player can be caught thieving in Prifddinas now starts to cool down after being caught once.
  • A 'don't ask me again' option has been added when declining a special Slayer assignment. This can be re-enabled via dialogue options with the relevant Slayer Master when asking about special assignments.
  • An issue preventing Premier Club Bronze and Silver members upgrading their membership has been fixed.
  • The following improvements were made to slider puzzles, in particular the ones used during hard and elite clue scrolls:
  • They are now much more responsive to control
  • It is now possible to invert the keyboard controls using a checkbox on the interface
  • There is now a 'check' button on the puzzle box interface to highlight incorrectly placed tiles
  • Visit the patch notes forum thread for the full list.


    Enjoy!
