Ninja Strike #6 Grand Exchange

This week we’ve got the update you’ve all been banking on – it’s the Grand Exchange Ninja Strike! Plus, there’s an array of livestreams for you to enjoy and a funky filter for all you Instagram divas. Let’s take a look!

Ninja Strike: The Grand Exchange

Ah, the Grand Exchange. A bastion of commerce and trade in the heart of Gielinor. Who doesn’t feel their spirits raise when they spot that iconic red-and-white awning as they return from a long day of bossing?

Hold on now… who’s that crawling under the wall from Edgeville? Why – it’s the Ninja Team! And they’re changing things! Yes, it seems that from now on, using the Grand Exchange will be easier than ever before.

For one thing, they’ve installed a brand new client-side prediction feature, which means that all that fiddly communication between the server and your client at home has been reduced. You know what that means: faster transactions for everyone!

Now let’s get to the nitty gritty. Have you ever accidentally ordered something you shouldn’t have? Taken home 1,000 buckets when the quest only required one? After today, you’ll be able to edit any of your offers on the Grand Exchange instantly, without taking them down. Just click the ‘Edit’ button to try it out for yourself.

It’s also easier to adjust the prices of the items you’re looking to buy and sell, with the addition of +/- 20% buttons, which will appear next to the +/- 5% ones.

When searching, up to 12 items will now appear in the results, as opposed to six as it was previously.

Lastly, a ‘Favourite Items’ tab has been added to the interface. Free-to-play players can list up to six items they buy frequently for easier access. Members can list up to 18 items. To select your favourites, either click the star next to the item after searching for it in the usual way, or search from within the Favourites Tab.

Patch Notes

Of course, we haven’t spent all our time skulking suspiciously around Gielinor’s biggest trading post – check out the changes our other teams have made all around the game:

Further improvements have been made to improve the display of the Bank on mobile devices.

A device status panel has been added to the UI near the Compass/Minimap. This panel displays device status information such as battery charge levels and connection status.

The messaging for damage dealt from each poison in Big Game Hunter now appears regardless of whether or not you skipped the cutscene

The amount of damage dealt by each poison is now explained in the message, and each poison has a different text colour.

Thursday June 18th | 16.00 Game Time | Stutorials with Mod Stu and Mod Poerkie

Who knew that watching two J-Mods play through every defunct tutorial could be so much fun? Well, we knew, obviously. That's why we keep scheduling it. This week the dynamic duo will be returning to Unstable Foundations to share a few more behind-the-scenes surprises. Don't miss out!

Saturday June 20th | 12:00 Game Time | Featured Streamer: Spidermash

This week Spidermash will be doing whatever a spider can, which in this case includes training his time locked account, playing through everything RuneScape has to offer in order of release date! Speaking of dates, a little birdy has told us that this Saturday will be Spidermash’s birthday – so if you’re tuning in, be sure to say congratulations!

RS Bosses Instagram Filter

Sure, bossing on RuneScape has been more fun than ever since the release of War’s Retreat – but what if you could watch yourself beat the bosses in real life?

Well we’re not quite at the stage where we can ship you all a dragon longsword and hope for the best just yet, but our all-new Instagram filter is pretty close!

You can access the filter with this link or by searching ‘RS Bosses’ on the Instagram Camera menu.

Just to liven things up, let’s make it a competition! We want to see you taking selfies and kicking monster ass. Set up the scene and share it with us on Instagram or Twitter with #RuneScapePvM, or email it to us at [email protected] There's prizes up for grabs!

Forum Spotlight

This week’s Forum Spotlight is from a familiar face around these parts – Mod Kari wants to know what you think about this week’s update! Rumour has it that she has connections to the Ninja Team, so if there’s something else you’d like to see them tackle, then now’s the time to talk about it!
