Web Of Shadows Halloween Event 2009

October 27, 2009 By: Delarue64 Category: Runescape News No Comments →

Hopefully the reward from this event will be useful, I rarely do the events unless they are worth doing for the reward. The update about withdrawing 1 item from grand exchange is helpful, it was a pain to buy an item then withdraw it as a note or have to right click just to take it out normally.

A dark house portal has appeared to the south of Falador once again. Tremble as you approach it, for it leads to the house of the Grim Reaper, Death himself!

In this year’s Halloween event, Death has a problem with an uninvited guest. Choose to help out and you will journey to a realm rarely trod by creatures with only two feet, and converse with its irritable monarch.

Completing the event will reward you with two new wearable items – one of which has a mind of its own – so seek out the house of Death…if you dare!

We’ve also created a wallpaper based on this event, which you can download here.

In other news…

We’ve made some improvements to the way banks calculate your free space. Free-players who used to be members will no longer have to dump all their members items to be able to use their banks and everyone can now see their usage in more detail on the interface. For more information, please read the Controls – Banks page.

We’ve updated the bank to make it automatically resize to fit your screen better. The interface will automatically extend downwards to show you more of your bank items.

Zahur in Nardah, who’s moved to the building east of the bank, will now decant all of your potions (in any combination) into 3-dose vials for you. He charges a small fee for this service to cover the cost of any extra vials needed.

We’ve swapped two tasks in the Ardougne Achievement Diary. The medium diary might look a little odd if you’ve already completed it, but you should still be able to wear the cloaks for their effects.

An auto re-pick feature has been added when harvesting your mushrooms, berries and fruit from Farming patches.

When collecting a single item at the Grand Exchange, left-click will now withdraw the actual item and right-click will withdraw it as a note. Withdrawals for multiple items will behave as before.

Anti ’76k’ing Update

October 27, 2009 By: Delarue64 Category: Runescape News 5 Comments →

Personally I have never liked PVP although I like this update because it has made most of the prices go back to the price they were a few years back, even higher for some items. The 76kers made slayer less profitable by getting all the common slayer items and lowering the value of them. This update motivates me more to get the legendary 99 slayer. :) Good luck to all pkers that are out there, hopefully this update doesn’t ruin it for you.

As many of you know, since the opening of PvP Worlds, ‘76k’ing has become a very common practice. We’ve never been happy about this as we believe it spoils the game experience for players who want to play on PvP Worlds as intended and exhibit their PvP skills, with high rewards for high risks, rather than it being a safe method for earning large amounts of money. Looking at our forums, it looks like many players feel the same way.

Designing and developing a solution to this issue that worked, but which did not lessen the rewards for legitimate kills, turned out to be rather tricky. We’re hopeful that the solution we’ve come up with will reduce 76King without having too significant an impact on legitimate PKers.

Players who trade kills will find that the drop they receive is lessened in value. Legitimate PKers might find that some of their kills will result in smaller drops (e.g. when getting revenge on someone who has just killed you), but since you’ll still only lose as much Earning Potential as is used for the drop, your average drop will stay the same.
