Araxxor Combat Achievements, Poll 82 & More

3時19分

PSA: There will be no game update next week as the team is preparing for the launch of Varlamore: The Rising Darkness.

Araxxor Combat Achievements are here, bringing with them more Araxxor tweaks, Poll 82 updates, and the long-awaited Crystal Shard rates buff!

Changelog - September 11th

[expand type=show more]

Araxxor

Araxxor Combat Achievements have arrived!
As we launch Araxxor's Combat Achievements and following the self-damage reduction we put in last week, we are resetting the global times for Araxxor.
During the enrage phase, Araxxor can now hit himself if the player is standing on any of the underneath tiles, rather than only SW.
Nid and Rax pets no longer share the same Bank placeholder.
Some players were still finding themselves stuck underneath Araxxor’s body after killing him, so a new safety measure will automatically push players out of his hitbox.
The Ring of Recoil can now be used to kill Araxyte inside the Easter Egg cave, so accounts unable to equip the Noxious Halberd are now able to get the Rancour recolour. However, you can only progress past this point if you have a Noxious Halberd in your Inventory. Not having the halberd will result in being teleported back to the start of the cave.
On DMM worlds, skulled players can no longer enter the Araxxor arena.

Poll 82 Updates

The Zerker bracket’s Defence level has been adjusted to 50 in Last Man Standing.
Perilous Moons sets have been added to the Zerker bracket in Last Man Standing and will drop as a full set, weapons and armours together.
Blighted Supplies can now be used in Clan Wars, Soul Wars and Castle Wars.
Bounty Hunter rewards also can now be used in Clan Wars, Soul Wars and Castle Wars.

Crystal Shard Rates Buff

We’ve reviewed all the Crystal Shard resources and implemented some notable buffs!

Other Changes

Wyrms are once again visible in the Slayer Log.
Replanted some missing tree trunks in the Kharazi jungle.
Restored Alina's missing jaw.
Fixed a bug where live Implings could be indirectly traded via Imp Defenders releasing them.

PvP Rota

The PvP rota has moved to Period B:

560 - (UK) - PvP World
319 - (US) - Bounty Hunter World
579 - (US) - High-Risk PvP World
561 - (UK) - Free-to-Play PvP World
580 - (US) - LMS Competitive

World 390 (AUS) for LMS Competitive has been de-activated with this rota.

Araxxor Combat Achievements

Now that you’ve settled in with your arachnid pal, it’s time to take on some Combat Achievements!

We know there’s been some concern about last week’s debuff to Araxxor’s self-damage, and how this would affect Combat Achievements. Before we get started, we want to assure you that the Achievements were balanced around not using the step-under method, so this change shouldn’t affect them. We’ll be monitoring your feedback closely over time just in case there are changes to be made.

We’ve also heard your frustrations regarding RNG resets in speedrun tasks, so this time we’re trying something new. Our new approach encourages steady, repeated quick kills within a set time frame, rather than relying on a single lucky attempt. For example, instead of "Kill Araxxor in X minutes" which was the previous approach, we're now going with "Kill Araxxor 4 times in 10:00". This way, RNG balances out over multiple kills. Let us know how you get on!

Other Araxxor Fixes

Last week, you let us know that you really liked Araxxor's self-damage mechanic, but requested that it work on any tile underneath the boss and not just the South West corner. We’ve now made this change, so Araxxor had better watch where those eight limbs of his are flying from now on.

Following the changes to self-damage and the addition of Combat Achievements, we’re resetting the global times for Araxxor.

Here are a few smaller changes we've made:

Nid and Rax pets no longer share the same Bank placeholder.
Some players were still finding themselves stuck underneath Araxxor’s body after killing him, so a new safety measure will automatically push players out of his hitbox.
The Ring of Recoil can now be used to kill Araxyte inside the Easter Egg cave, so accounts unable to equip the Noxious Halberd are now able to get the Rancour recolour. However, you can only progress past this point if you have a Noxious Halberd in your Inventory. Not having the halberd will result in being teleported back to the start of the cave.
On DMM worlds, skulled players can no longer enter the Araxxor arena.
Fixed a bug where players could kill Araxxor without a Slayer task.

We’d also like to address a couple of points of feedback from last week:

Level 96 araxytes not spawning superiors: We aren't looking to change this as we think there's a good trade-off between killing the two types of araxytes, one for quick XP and points/hr, and the other for better XP/task and a chance for Slayer superior uniques.
Araxxor overhangs his hitbox in some areas, while other areas of the hitbox feel too big: We can’t prevent certain parts of an NPC model from being clicked on, so our only option would be to shrink Araxxor by 30% to make him never come outside of his bounding box during animations. This would make Araxxor really small, and so unfortunately, it can’t be changed.
Why are the araxyte Tasks counted as spider Tasks?: When we first pitched araxyte Tasks, players were clear that they wanted them to count as spider Tasks, so we made that change before launch.
Issues with Coagulated Venom: Some players weren't able to obtain the Coagulated Venom as the timer included the time taken to loot Araxxor. This issue is now resolved but some players would like to have the venom retroactively given to them. Due to various complications in doing this, players will have to reachieve the 1:15 time to get the reward. We'd like to highlight that this task wasn't balanced around the recently discovered (and subsequently changed) step-under method.

Poll 82 Updates

We're continuing to roll out more updates from Poll 82: Minigame Makeover, with a particular focus on PvP this week.

Let's start with Last Man Standing! During the Poll 82 proposal, many of you requested that the Zerker bracket be adjusted to 50 Defence up from 45. While we were making this change, we took the opportunity to add Perilous Moons armour to the bracket, which will drop as a set including the weapons to ensure players can make full use of it.

Meanwhile, Blighted Supplies and Bounty Hunter Rewards can now be used in Clan Wars, Soul Wars, and Castle Wars, just as they were polled.

Crystal Shard Rates Buff

Some of you may remember our blog about Shooting Star changes, where we mentioned our plans to boost Crystal Shard gains from existing sources. Since then we’ve had a whirlwind of launches and updates which has delayed our progress on this front. Today, we’re happy to announce that Crystal Shards are now much easier to farm. Thank you for your patience – here’s what’s changed:

Crystal Acorn: Quantity is now 28-32 shards, up from 14-16. Rate is unchanged.
Superior Slayer Creatures: Quantity is now 6-10 shards, up from 1. Rate is unchanged.
Regular Gauntlet: Quantity is now 5-9 shards, up from 3-7. Rate is unchanged.
Corrupted Gauntlet: Quantity is now 7-12 shards, up from 5-9. Rate is unchanged.
Zalcano: Both the quantity and rate are unchanged.
Agility Course Portals: Quantity is unchanged. Rate is improved from 1 in 3 to 1 in 1, meaning you'll always receive a Shard.
Crystal Chest: Buffed the quantity of Acorns to 4-6 and quantity of Shards by ~50%. This means you'll obtain more Shards on average and obtain more Acorns overall, which will lead to significantly more Shards if you plant them - especially with Acorns also giving more Shards than they used to.
Slayer Dungeon: Quantity is now 3-5 Shards, up from 1. Rate is unchanged.
Pickpocketing: Both the quantity and rate are unchanged.
Mining: Quantity is unchanged. Rate is improved to 1/65 from 1/127.
Crystal Impling: Quantity is now 30-40 Shards, up from 5-10. You’ll get ~2 Shards on average per impling. Rate is unchanged.
Woodcutting: Quantity is unchanged. Rate is improved to 1/40 from 1/80.

Other Changes

Wyrms are once again visible in the Slayer Log.
Replanted some missing tree trunks in the Kharazi jungle.
Restored Alina's missing jaw.
Fixed a bug where live Implings could be indirectly traded via Imp Defenders releasing them.

PvP World Rota

The PvP rota has moved to Period B:

Poll 82 Updates & Araxxor Fixes | September 4th

9月4日

This week we have more Poll 82 updates plus some Araxxor bug fixes.

Changelog September 4th

[expand type=show more]
Araxxor

Reduced the 'self-damage' from stepping under Araxxor during his enrage phase from 30 to 10.
Extended Anti-Venom+ is now prioritised when using the cure option for poison and venom.
The kill time required to drop the Coagulated Venom no longer takes the time between the kill and looting into account.
Araxxor's body will now push you away if you're standing on him during the death animation.
Extended Anti-Venom+ has been recoloured to set it apart from other Anti-Venom potions.
Players with Rax stored in their Player Owned House will no longer be able to reclaim another Nid from Probita.
Added an additional audio cue for Araxxor's charged venom spit attack to help differentiate it from his basic attack.
Death Charge now correctly restores Special Attack Energy when killing Araxxor himself.
Rune Platelegs and Rune Kiteshield drops have been made noted to alleviate Inventory pressure on longer trips.
Prayer Potion supply drops now always drop as a single 4-dose potion instead of a couple of 2-dose potions.
Added Spiders back to the Gauntlet after a temporary time-out for phasing in and out of visibility.
Putting the Soulreaper Axe into the Bank with stacks on the weapon and logging out now causes the stack to start decrementing.

Further Poll 82 Updates

When taking up a new Mahogany Homes Contract, you can now select "Last-tier contract", for a Contract of the same tier as your previous selection, skipping the tier-selection dialogue. You can use the "Contract" option to choose another tier.
You'll now automatically drink your Cup of Tea at the end of a Mahogany Homes Contract.
In Trouble Brewing, Bottles of Rum now award 10 Pieces of Eight.
You will no longer have to find your way through a bog using a stick in Temple Trekking.

Other Changes

Expeditious bracelet now ensures players will receive the correct Slayer Points when used in Partner Slayer.
You're no longer able to gain XP by using magic spells on the pillars in the Path of Scarabas. Cheeky!

PvP Rota

The PvP rota has moved to Period A:

539 - (US) - PvP World
318 - (UK) - Bounty Hunter World
548 - (Germany) - High-Risk PvP World
577 - (US) - Free-to-Play PvP World
559 - (UK) - LMS Competitive

World 390 (AUS) for LMS Competitive has been activated with this rota.

World 569 (AUS) for Bounty Hunter has been activated with this rota.

The PvP Arena is using 'Max/Med' loadouts in Ranked Duels and Tournaments this week.

Araxxor

You've already been racking up your kill counts with the latest Slayer boss to creepy-crawl his way into Old School, and some players have gone as far as to create some unreasonably cute fanart for our favourite arachnid!

Cherrycake's Catraxxor[x.com] is honestly too cute to handle, while OceanBytes has given the creepy crawly a truly retro feel[x.com].

Some less welcome bugs made themselves known last week, and last week we put out a handful of hotfixes to remedy them.

This week, we have some more improvements:

Top of the list, Araxxor will now helpfully push players away during his agonised death throes instead of letting them stand awkwardly on his corpse. In another bug fix, the kill time required to drop the Coagulated Venom will no longer take the time between the kill and looting into account.

It's going to be easier to grab your bottle of Extended Anti-Venom+ in a hurry as we've given it a more distinctive recolour. Plus, the Extended Anti-Venom+ will now be prioritised when using the cure option for poison or venom by clicking on your Hitpoints orb.

It didn't take long for you talented folks to discover some seriously cool tech to speed up your kills! Players discovered that you could get Araxxor to do significant damage to himself during his enrage phase with some well-timed 'step-unders'. We're all for ingenuity, however we do think the damage output was perhaps a little on the extreme side. Consequently, we’re reducing it down to 10 as opposed to 30. An extra 10 damage every 4 ticks is still a significant boost, so we hope it still feels worth doing without being so significant that it feels mandatory.

Here are a handful of extra changes we've made:

Death Charge now correctly restores Special Attack Energy when killing Araxxor himself.
Rune Platelegs and Rune Kiteshield drops have been made noted to alleviate some inventory pressure on longer trips.
Prayer Potion supply drops now always drop as a single 4-dose potion instead of 1-2 2-dose potions.
Spiders have been welcomed back to the Gauntlet, after a temporary time-out as punishment for phasing in and out of visibility.
Players with Rax in their Player Owned House will no longer be able to reclaim another Nid from Probita.
Putting the Soulreaper Axe into the Bank with stacks on the weapon and logging out now causes the stack to start decrementing.
We've added an additional audio cue for Araxxor's charged venom spit attack to help differentiate it from his basic attack.

Before we move on, we'd like to confirm that the drop rates for Araxxor's uniques on the OSRS Wiki are accurate! The Araxyte Fang has a drop rate of 1 in 600, while Noxious Halberd pieces drop at a rate of 1 in 200. They use a similar system to the Abyssal Bludgeon to prevent you from obtaining any duplicate pieces until you've completed a full weapon. Plus, don't think we forgot... Pet drop rate! Nid, the little cutie, has a 1 in 3,000 chance, increased to 1 in 1,500 if you use the 'Destroy' option.

Plus, here's the Aranea Boots drop rates, too!

1/4000 from the small araxytes, meaning 1/1600 on task
1/2000 from the larger araxytes, 1/800 on task
1/400 from superior araxytes

There may well be more Araxxor changes to come, but that's all for this week!

Poll 82 Updates

This week we're continuing to rollout Poll 82 changes!

First up, the much-requested Trouble Brewing update - Bottles of Rum will now award 10 Pieces of Eight! Or should that be Pieces of Ten?

We're also removing the swamp segment in Temple Trekking, meaning you'll no longer have to find your way through a bog with just a stick to guide you.

Finally, Mahogany Homes sees a couple of updates this week, too. When taking up a new Mahogany Homes Contract, you can now select "Last-tier contract", and this will assign a Contract of the same tier as your previous selection, skipping the tier-selection dialogue. You can use the "Contract" option to choose another tier. Plus, you'll now automatically drink your Cup of Tea at the end of a Mahogany Homes Contract - good to the last drop!

Wintertodt Beta

Our Wintertodt Beta is coming soon! This is your chance to test out the new Warmth Metre, replacing Hitpoints as the resource to keep topped up. The Wintertodt's damage, from both basic and special attacks, will now reduce your Warmth Metre, and you'll want to keep that topped up by chomping on some food. Remember to wrap up against that harsh climate with some Warm clothing, as this will help mitigate Wintertodt's damage, along with keeping as many braziers burning as you can. We've also made some adjustments to the Rejuvenation potions, plus how to collect your loot at the end.

We'll be sharing the full breakdown of the changes, plus how to join the beta in an upcoming blog.

Summer Summit 2024

Of course, we're not going to miss a chance to remind you of the upcoming Summer Summit - it's happening this weekend!

Join us live on Twitch[www.twitch.tv] on Saturday, September 7th, 8pm BST / 3pm ET / 12pm PT for your first look at our roadmap and some very exciting reveals... You won't want to miss it!

Other Changes

Okay so it's not a change, but plenty of you have been asking for some insight into the Rocky drop rate for the Varlamore house thieving activity, so we wanted to confirm it with you: it's drop rate is 1/206777.

Changes made this week:

Expeditious bracelet now ensures players will receive the correct slayer points during partner slayer when it is used.
You're no longer able to gain XP through magic spells on the pillars within the Path of Scarabas, cheeky!

Osmumten's Fang Icon Changes

Inventory icon adjustment to the Standard Osmumten's Fang

Inventory icon adjustment to the Ornamental Osmumten's Fang

A few weeks ago, we tweaked Osmumten's Fang's model and special attack as part of the animation spring clean. This slight model adjustment ended up causing the Fang’s Inventory icon to appear smaller than before, and you weren't keen on it. We heard you loud and clear, and the art team has been working on adjusting its Inventory icon based on your feedback. You'll be pleased to hear that both the Standard and Ornamental Fang's Inventory icons now look bigger and clearer, as per your request!

Before we continue with what else has been fixed in this game update, we've got some exciting announcements to make!

Araxxor Arrives Next Week!

The new Slayer boss, Araxxor, is crawling his way into Old School in a matter of days. This arachnoid menace is set to weave some serious trouble starting next Wednesday, August 28th!

For those who need to catch up, we first discussed this Araxyte from the deep dark swamps of Morytania in its poll blog.[secure.runescape.com] You can also check our latest Gazette[secure.runescape.com] for a chat with Mod Arcane about Araxxor.

Stick around and keep your eyes open for this eight-legged terror... lest he creep up on you!
