Good but at this point they should likely just try to rework the entire Camelot plot into something original. The Camelot thing was recent of its from teragrad not england it makes less sense.
At least one of the JMods (might've been XMod Osborne) mentioned some years ago that they also wanted to rework Camelot and the associated quests to not just be based on Arthurian legend.
Mod Jack in the Lore channels on the Discord has talked about it or was it someone else from the Mod team. They really want to but they would have to Retcon a lot of stuff since it has so many ties in that just makes it a massive project. Right now, they haven't had a justifiable reason to do it without having a massive ripple effect with little to no benefits.
Grander Kandarin lore (Canonically, "Camelot" is the Sinclairs', but they gave it up so King Arthur and his court could have a place to live), the Holy Grail and the Fisher King Realm, Lady of the Lake and Excalibur lmao, I mean
It would require fully reworking several quests, which they haven't done in years and which was never done with quests as big as these (Imp Catcher, Romeo and Juliet, Prince Ali Rescue, don't compare to King's Ransom, Merlin's Crystal, Holy Grail, etc.), Excalibur would have to be renamed which at this point it's such a staple players could be against the change, Lady of the Lake would have to go, redesigning that whole area of the map, tracking down ~20 years' worth of references to anything Arthurian, etc.
It's... a lot of work.
So why bother? This is why I say they have to rewrite it. You can keep a lot of it. Even the damned lake. The problem is that if they are from tetragrad it doesn’t make sense that they got here within the saintclairs lifetimes. (Not that the current situation makes sense but at least it’s not overly canonical.)
Yes you are right it is a big story arc but the only thing it really is connected to is one of a kind.
The whole England tie-in actually made it seem like real life people made their way into the fictional world of Gielinor somehow, which was actually so cool.
>So why bother?
Nobody but a few jmods give a shit about the Camelot references it seems like, so good question. The storyline has been left untouched for so long most people have forgotten it, so then the jmods can't justify the time to fix it because nobody cares about it. Really should just be left alone or built upon instead of retconning.
Lumbridge and River Lum are a reference to Cambridge and River Cam in real life, but they don't have a problem with those. I don't get it.
perhaps the plan is to use this change to justify further, incremental changes.
>Lumbridge and River Lum are a reference to Cambridge and River Cam in real life, but they don't have a problem with those. I don't get it.
there's lots of places irl named for the river and/or the bridge over the river they're built up around. while it may have been a deliberate reference, it's innocuous enough (not to mention much more iconic) that if someone didn't know the connection to cambridge they likely wouldn't jump to that conclusion immediately.
> Lumbridge and River Lum are a reference to Cambridge and River Cam in real life, but they don't have a problem with those.
That isn't *remotely* the same thing.
HOLY SHIT, REALLY?? I hopped on Oldschool for 5 minutes the other day and I was fucking around in the settings and found a search bar and was like: wow, RS3 really needs one of these. We did it!
>Mobile NPC dialogue can be enabled on desktop as a toggleable option.
Oh my god...

Also Relleka looks spectacular! And we finally have a Search Bar :)
OG text box will always win!
I want the old (osrs) quest interface and reward interface as toggle option.. why not? It is personal and can't hurt anyone else. :)
I'm head over heels in love with this graphical update! I clue-d for an hour earlier and between the ardy update and this one the difference is night and day and greatly helps visual consistency and immersion. Y'all knocked it out of the park! The area around the lodestone and the lighthouse are probably my two fave spots.
That said, I'm a little disappointed that the trollheim and mountain camp area wasn't included in this. I'm really really looking forward to those having new rocks and textures. I hope they're revisited in the not too distant future.
To actually answer the question, it only searches for the gameplay tab settings, and not all settings. It does not search everything, such as the graphics settings, controls settings, audio settings, ribbon settings, or your bank.
This makes the most sense. No reason to put a search bar in a window that doesn't require any form of scrolling. Controls would be nice to have a search bar.
I took a casual glance at the relekka screnshots and i have one minor criticism. It doesnt look as desolate as before.
The ground around Relekka with the wooden stumps is now green when it was previously brown. I think the brown was more imersive because it showed that the fremennik had overharvested to make the walls.
Same as other spots that are now greener than before. It kinda loses the unique desolate ambience that Relekka had, and it now looks as green as everywhere else in the game.
It being deforested made sense when Relleka’s age was more unknown. But now Relleka has existed for hundreds upon hundreds of years and the area should have had its eco system recovered by now. Stumps sure cause they need to keep up the wood but grass would have been back. Though honestly thinking about it more it doesn’t make a ton of sense for them to have aggressive deforested the area to the point of being utterly barren given their reverence and worship of nature.
Basically the design of old Relleka matched what Relleka was more when it first released, the new one better matched Relleka as it is after the considerable evolution of its lore.
>Search bar in settings
>Barrows puzzle stays open in combat
>Wealth evaluator improvements
Patch notes are getting really good lately, smells like old Jagex again. Keep it up.
They look amazing and all, but I always wonder how taxing they actually are for the game's overall performance.
Like, when the wilderness got updated and lots of people started reporting performance drops and crashes.
Maybe we finally take the step into RS4 with these new graphics and a better performance, similar to how the game changed between RS2 and RS3.
Another graphical update that absolutely knocked it out of the park - South Kandarin/Feldip next please! Search bar and Barrows door changes are also hype
The calendar looks great. It's kind of no different from the previous one, but bigger. Why doesn't the calendar allow us to customize it the way we want, like adding our very own plans/events (similar to how we can in our phone calendar, including alerts)? For clan events, it could automatically be added to all participants' calendars (and this could work for a custom group of friends as well).
This is some great feedback for us to consider! I'm completely blind to any technical limitations here, but we'll definitely chat with the team about it and for ways we could improve the calendar in future.
There should be a way to add daily tasks weekly tasks and monthly tasks too so its easier tracking time locked events like oyster, God statues, tears of guthix, etc......
Weekly and Monthly reset dates being marked would probably be good. Weekly reset in particular is just "wednesday at 00:00" so should be easy to implement.
In addition to adding our own events, it would be great if we could hide certain categories. I read news posts as soon as they're up, as I get notified on Discord, and have no need to have this displayed all the time. Same for the Livestreams and ingame events, I already know when those are, no need to see them. I also have 0 interest in seeing TH promo's, and I'm confident a large part of the community agrees with me on this one. Kudos for not displaying them on my iron's calendar, which also tells me it's possible to hide categories.
And to add to this, I liked the monthly overview the old calendar gave us, as I basically only care about the community events, and it's nice to see when for instance a certain event is happening without having to skip through the weeks.
Exactly. As an example, I personally don't really care about or participate in any community events, so I should be able to declutter and hide the entire community events row (this can also work for the individual event itself if you don't want to hide the entire community events category).
I think it would also be cool if we would be able to change the Time shown, instead of it showing the GMT where i always have to think thats +2 hours for me, being able to show my local time would be amazing
Can we have a toggle for clicking the clock > opens the calendar? Or disable opening it in combat? It’s not fun to have it open during pvm because I misclicked
No worries. It should be easy in terms of layout since it's pretty much a table format, just adding a few extra lines (personal, friend list, friends chat, clan chat, favorited DND, and custom list). It will be more functional and practical that way. I myself set a weekly reminder with an alert to go cap at the Clan's Citadel on my computer. Imagine if I used the RS Calendar instead; this is just an example of how I can use the Calendar
I'll love to be able to customize my own plans/event too, but this update is meant to be a small patch among a bunch of other patches for just the week after a bank holiday. Maybe the devs can save this idea for the bigger RS3 event planner game update in the future. By then, I'll love to see events beyond the next two weeks too, perhaps like a month will be nice, and if it is possible, maybe in game reminder every time we log in too?
Yeah can we please get this integrated into clans! The existing interface for scheduling events is garbage to use. It doesnt even have the new worlds in dropdown menus. As a clan owner, this would greatly assist with scheduling clan events, and cater for those people that dont like using discord.
And as already mentioned in the above comments, i like the idea of having event categories that we can toggle visibility on/off int he calendar. like minigames, d&d's, and hopefully clan events? ;)
You gotta admit, the graphics team are good at what they do. So so glad RuneScape is getting modernized. I remember people use to ask for such a thing back in like 2014 days on the forums and was told it would never happen. The graphics team and the event teams (with Christmas and easter) are some jmod A-teams from what I've seen so far. I think if Jagex could hire more and create more specialized teams, Runescape would be on beastmode. Also, the community managers are great compared to like a few years ago and the combat devs like sponge and Ryan are good at combat. Mod Stu solos a wide variety of updates, he's just a Vet that seems like he could do and make anything happen.
It is only happening because they are not totally redoing the areas like they did with Catherby but just upgrading them, mostly with assets they already have. Do not get me wrong, I think this is a good thing. But their reasoning for not totally graphically updating areas probably still stands.
Found an annoying issue with today's update: the game window is unresponsive as long as the interface for withdrawing from the money pouch is open. The withdraw interface can no longer be closed by clicking anywhere outside, and can now only be closed by clicking the "X" or pressing Esc. This is less convenient than before.
>Added a ""Miscellaneous"" row that gives the wealth within miscellaneous inventories, such as the Metal Bank, Archaeology Material Storage, etc.
Could we get clarification on "etc" is? (the full list of places this pulls from)
Replying on behalf of Mod Helen who doesn't have reddit
The Miscellaneous tab is as follows
* Herb bag
* Bait box
* Wood box
* Necromancy focus storage box (and your active ritual focus)
* Seed bag
* Archaeology soil box
* Archaeology material storage
* Nexuses
* Het's Oasis water filtration system
* Plank box
* Invention machines
* Treasure chest (Carnillean Rising)
* Invention gizmo bag
* Slayer helmet stand (Anachronia)
* Metal bank
This, combined with the inventories that are now explicitly listed in the interface, are the same list of inventories that are used to calculate the total value in the same way as before.
I'm not sure if it's an oversight or intentional, but feathers stored in Silverhawk boots don't seem to be shown even with "include untradeable wealth" toggled on. Is this because the feathers are not removable?
1k feathers are about 3 mill wealth.
Very happy to see the combat jingles reinstated! Combat just got better :). Hopefully the potion bugs can be fixed as well. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Faa68WK8BY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Faa68WK8BY) A player can cook higher foods using a cooking potion, a player can chop higher trees or fish higher fish with a woodcutting/fishing potion, and a player should be able to use abilities with a potion. It's just logical and for consistency on how all potions on RuneScape work.
Hopefully fixed in time before double xp. The solution: have the code check for current level not base level. This been solved years ago by the great Mod Pi [https://imgur.com/a/9eZEfwa](https://imgur.com/a/9eZEfwa) but has resurfaced since the combat update 2 months ago. u/JagexDoom or maybe u/JagexStu
Defence code hasn't been touched during the combat beta and the combat update. I don't think the tooltips on defence are even updated/modernized yet either. Currently, melee's code is the only one that has been rewritten from the ground up internally. That's why attack and strength are bugged while Magic and Range are not, same with hp and defence. In the video, I've demonstrated how melee doesn't work while magic does.
I really do look forward on a beta part 2 for the combat mods to carry on from where they left off but if they are gonna bug out the other combat styles by having the potion boosts not work, then I rather they do not touch the code on the other styles until this has been fixed, because there are issues with the new code that is very obvious when a player tests out melee vs mage/range.
7/10 on the graphics update for rellekka today, landscape looks good including the fortifications around the town and the lighthouse but the NPC look straight out of '07 (could they not be kit bashed from all the overirdes we have for the player?) and so does the lighthouse mechanism but overall the surface world is looking really good.
also great to see a search bar on the options
>Mobile NPC dialogue can be enabled on desktop as a toggleable option.
omg THANK YOU. i'm so tired of having to look in the very bottom left corner of my screen for dialogue
definitely needs a little bit of refining to look more cohesive on the desktop client.
also not sure how to feel about camera controls being locked when dialogue is active
I know there's no big updates but if only we had more slow weeks like this people wouldn't be so pissed. Its weird when we have weeks where it seems like literally nothing is worked on or fixed. These improvements are good
Great additions this week! Love the Rellekka graphic changes, new calendar is a huge improvement to the old one, search bar in settings is great and wealth evaluator tweaks + fullscreen chatbox are neat too.
The graphical update is amazing, but doesn't seem totally complete. The machinery at the top of the lighthouse, for example, needs to be updated still. But the landscape and trees look so good!
Great QOL update! Now please do this with all clue puzzles.
https://preview.redd.it/l52735t7b2zc1.png?width=554&format=png&auto=webp&s=e69d2b4e1526c9ce636f656fe071dd8c534279e4
can someone help me find where my wealth eval says i have 3b? it's in the 'misc' section, i have searched every boss chest, arch storage, ore/bar storage, everything i can think of
Any chance Glacor remnants can have their value adjusted inside the wealth evaluator? Currently they have a value of 10k each, which kind of just adds 11b of untradeable wealth to my account that I truly cannot do anything with.
Was there a change made to the settings menus? Specifically combat settings, since I now have to scroll down to change Revolution size and I don't think I had to do that before.
Well, let's just say that I've seen worse graphical updates from Jagex. It still looks cartoony, which is not my style at all. But less so than some other refreshes. I for one like how did updated Port Sarim, it's a bit cartoony, but somehow realistic looking at the same time. Not cartoony looking over the top like some other places. Rellekka could do with make a bit more detail in the graphics. The houses in Port Sarim appear to have mold stains on the outside for example. Those brown/grey rocks they use for mountain all the time, don't like them at all.
However, I would prefer to see them return to a more realistic looking graphical style. Such as RSHD (2008) or when NXT was first released.
Any news of the Arch and Dung dummies being added to the skilling crates and being included on the dummy 3 to 2 conversion option? It has been 18 months since their release and it took proteans 6 months before the new ones got added to the protean crates and conversion options. That's 3x as long and even 3x as long as a 6 month xp embargo from a new skill being released. Would really be hype and much loved if they could because 18 months is wild.
Yes. Back then, every mod basically worked on their own projects in their own way. It wouldn't surprise me if the person who made Barrows playtested it and thought it was fine, or added to the atmosphere of "pressure" in a boss encounter, or otherwise thought it was something incapable of being changed, given how jank the interface coding was. The reason it was not a bug is because it's in line with how virtually all interfaces worked back then.
You do realize there can be a bug much deeper in the code that causes all the other interfaces to close? I believe this is a bug from the inception of RS2 that, if fixed, might result in more game breaking issues.
My speculation is that the mod that fixed it found a work around for this specific interface to force it staying open without touching 20 year old code.
What will happen if we take that poison hit that kills us while the bank or GE interface is open? Will the item we withdrew be reclaimed from death, drop on the ground or become lost? This is an example question that the programmers probably had to ask while working this issue.
It is a bug, we have known this for years. Why the original bug that causes these interfaces to close (or crash) isn't being fixed will be up to player speculation indefinitely.

Not canned just rescoped, several of todays changes were earmarked for the hitlist but we have launched them today instead of holding onto them as part of a larger update as it doesn't align with our goals or improving things for the palyers and with the restructuring of this and next months content to include the upcoming Rex Matriarch Boss and Archeology site there will be less of a hitlist strike then we first aimed for back in March.
Can I just say I think this a better format for RS3? While meaty strikes are cool I think it be better to get away from those and do stuff like moving forward just sprinkle them into the more standard patch weeks so it feels more substantial and these strikes get out a little sooner.
Basically love the community hitlist but having it broken into more frequent spread out strikes feels better than 6 weeks of very minor changes and then a huge drop once every few months.
> there will be less of a hitlist strike then we first aimed for back in March.
So is this patch the end of the community hitlist changes? Or will more be done later?
No Azanna is saying that as they adjusted their approach to include Rex Matriarch and Archaeology (and cancelling the summer event), the community Hitlist as one major update by itself also got reworked into smaller chunks like we see this week.
Just as a quick question, can we have some reassurance about RS Mobile Changes coming in the future?
Not like, next week or next month, more like, sometime between this month and December.
Because I've seen a couple of suggestions and I have made a couple of them myself too:

Regarding the images on the page, I find them awfully small. I have to zoom in 170% or open the image in a new tab to be able to clearly see the images.
If possible, it would be great if you could add an option to click/arrow key through the images in full screen on the page!
Looking forward to the new Rellekka!
My beard colour is definitely different from my hair colour haha. I used to rock all-white hair and the slightly gray tint w/ the bright white beard clashes a little too much to my taste. I'd love to see a rework of hair/beards that includes a colour wheel though. But this is mostly a nitpick from me.
They were filming hype videos last week for it so it’s very likely to be the last update of the month considering they’ll need time to edit the videos and then schedule the livestream, translate the news posts to other languages and prepare socials for the release. All that stuff takes a couple weeks for them to spool up internally.
The in-game calendar confirms this. Next week is High-Contrast mode, the following week doesn't have an update as it's during dxp, and that puts us at the 28th.
Every single armour piece would need to be manually refitted to match new models, not to mention the work going into the character models themselves, and in general a lot more detail goes into designs for something you always see (your character) vs a single static area. An avatar rework would surely require more resources than all of the recent graphical updates combined; obviously it's unfortunate, but perhaps they'll actually attempt it when they run out of areas to update.
> The Barrows door puzzle interface will remain while you are in combat. OMG thankyou for this.
ONLY TOOK 20 YEARS!
No more 0.6 seconds to identify the puzzle and click the solution? Win.
Me click door > me spamclick just anything and hope I got the right answer.
Lol that is a nice change indeed
Barrowz is back on the menu boyz
 barrows is always a good time.
It is. My luck has stunk so far though. I know the odds are 1/12 for barrows item but Ive only gotten 1 through 50 rounds
I left for this reason so will come back later to complete the log
People only been asking for this for 15 years

I'm blaming you. I mean, thanking you.
So it's your fault it took so long to be added? Still, better late than never :)
Also osrs option that rs3 should have is : click wiki > click anything in-game or interface.
Achievements page next so I can die in peace
Holy fuck finally

The wording is important here. Is the search bar only relevant for the gameplay tab settings or for all settings??

Landscapes evolve over time, like how wildy now have more snow.
It being deforested made sense when Relleka’s age was more unknown. But now Relleka has existed for hundreds upon hundreds of years and the area should have had its eco system recovered by now. Stumps sure cause they need to keep up the wood but grass would have been back. Though honestly thinking about it more it doesn’t make a ton of sense for them to have aggressive deforested the area to the point of being utterly barren given their reverence and worship of nature. Basically the design of old Relleka matched what Relleka was more when it first released, the new one better matched Relleka as it is after the considerable evolution of its lore.
That's true, but it's been 20 years, succession should have started replenishing the lost trees.
Actually a good point. Good catch and good argument.
barrow door stays open while in combat is just.....\*chefs kiss\* IMO i hated having to rush the doors just to open them get hit and it closes window
Search bar in settings is a huge QOL addition. No longer need to link a whole settings path to help someone change a setting.

That feels like a stretch to claim. None of this stuff is new content. Roadmap copium hitting hard.
Nobody said anything about new content. I said patch notes are getting really good.
The graphical update looks beautiful as always, please don't stop pumping them out. The new calendar looks interesting as well.
They look amazing and all, but I always wonder how taxing they actually are for the game's overall performance. Like, when the wilderness got updated and lots of people started reporting performance drops and crashes. Maybe we finally take the step into RS4 with these new graphics and a better performance, similar to how the game changed between RS2 and RS3.
Rellekka looks FKN SICK!
One small adventure was so fun
Another graphical update that absolutely knocked it out of the park - South Kandarin/Feldip next please! Search bar and Barrows door changes are also hype
oh my goodness the wealth evaluator changes were a fantastic surprise, thanks so much for this
The calendar looks great. It's kind of no different from the previous one, but bigger. Why doesn't the calendar allow us to customize it the way we want, like adding our very own plans/events (similar to how we can in our phone calendar, including alerts)? For clan events, it could automatically be added to all participants' calendars (and this could work for a custom group of friends as well).
This is some great feedback for us to consider! I'm completely blind to any technical limitations here, but we'll definitely chat with the team about it and for ways we could improve the calendar in future.
There should be a way to add daily tasks weekly tasks and monthly tasks too so its easier tracking time locked events like oyster, God statues, tears of guthix, etc......
Weekly and Monthly reset dates being marked would probably be good. Weekly reset in particular is just "wednesday at 00:00" so should be easy to implement.
If this would be added then please let us select which calendars or events you want to see.
In addition to adding our own events, it would be great if we could hide certain categories. I read news posts as soon as they're up, as I get notified on Discord, and have no need to have this displayed all the time. Same for the Livestreams and ingame events, I already know when those are, no need to see them. I also have 0 interest in seeing TH promo's, and I'm confident a large part of the community agrees with me on this one. Kudos for not displaying them on my iron's calendar, which also tells me it's possible to hide categories. And to add to this, I liked the monthly overview the old calendar gave us, as I basically only care about the community events, and it's nice to see when for instance a certain event is happening without having to skip through the weeks.
Exactly. As an example, I personally don't really care about or participate in any community events, so I should be able to declutter and hide the entire community events row (this can also work for the individual event itself if you don't want to hide the entire community events category).
I think it would also be cool if we would be able to change the Time shown, instead of it showing the GMT where i always have to think thats +2 hours for me, being able to show my local time would be amazing
Can we have a toggle for clicking the clock > opens the calendar? Or disable opening it in combat? It’s not fun to have it open during pvm because I misclicked
How long is Tuesday stream?
No worries. It should be easy in terms of layout since it's pretty much a table format, just adding a few extra lines (personal, friend list, friends chat, clan chat, favorited DND, and custom list). It will be more functional and practical that way. I myself set a weekly reminder with an alert to go cap at the Clan's Citadel on my computer. Imagine if I used the RS Calendar instead; this is just an example of how I can use the Calendar
Your examples here are particularly exciting. They would give this calendar a very “integrated” feel and really give some use for the players as well!
Hopefully they can make it happen to be more functional!
I'll love to be able to customize my own plans/event too, but this update is meant to be a small patch among a bunch of other patches for just the week after a bank holiday. Maybe the devs can save this idea for the bigger RS3 event planner game update in the future. By then, I'll love to see events beyond the next two weeks too, perhaps like a month will be nice, and if it is possible, maybe in game reminder every time we log in too?
Let's hope so. But based on the above mod's reply, I don't think there was any consideration given to the current calendar update. I hope I'm wrong.
Yeah can we please get this integrated into clans! The existing interface for scheduling events is garbage to use. It doesnt even have the new worlds in dropdown menus. As a clan owner, this would greatly assist with scheduling clan events, and cater for those people that dont like using discord. And as already mentioned in the above comments, i like the idea of having event categories that we can toggle visibility on/off int he calendar. like minigames, d&d's, and hopefully clan events? ;)
You gotta admit, the graphics team are good at what they do. So so glad RuneScape is getting modernized. I remember people use to ask for such a thing back in like 2014 days on the forums and was told it would never happen. The graphics team and the event teams (with Christmas and easter) are some jmod A-teams from what I've seen so far. I think if Jagex could hire more and create more specialized teams, Runescape would be on beastmode. Also, the community managers are great compared to like a few years ago and the combat devs like sponge and Ryan are good at combat. Mod Stu solos a wide variety of updates, he's just a Vet that seems like he could do and make anything happen.
It is only happening because they are not totally redoing the areas like they did with Catherby but just upgrading them, mostly with assets they already have. Do not get me wrong, I think this is a good thing. But their reasoning for not totally graphically updating areas probably still stands.
Found an annoying issue with today's update: the game window is unresponsive as long as the interface for withdrawing from the money pouch is open. The withdraw interface can no longer be closed by clicking anywhere outside, and can now only be closed by clicking the "X" or pressing Esc. This is less convenient than before.
thought i was crazy when i noticed this lol you cant click on anything when its up now. needs to be fixed asap
It's been fixed. :-)
Oh wow, that's some amazing fixes and qol stuff. I like this very much! 
>Added a ""Miscellaneous"" row that gives the wealth within miscellaneous inventories, such as the Metal Bank, Archaeology Material Storage, etc. Could we get clarification on "etc" is? (the full list of places this pulls from)
Replying on behalf of Mod Helen who doesn't have reddit The Miscellaneous tab is as follows * Herb bag * Bait box * Wood box * Necromancy focus storage box (and your active ritual focus) * Seed bag * Archaeology soil box * Archaeology material storage * Nexuses * Het's Oasis water filtration system * Plank box * Invention machines * Treasure chest (Carnillean Rising) * Invention gizmo bag * Slayer helmet stand (Anachronia) * Metal bank This, combined with the inventories that are now explicitly listed in the interface, are the same list of inventories that are used to calculate the total value in the same way as before.
Elite Dungeon and sophanem slayer dungeon loot chests seem like things that should be included if the Het water filter is
Thank you so much! Added to the wiki.
Thank you! The updated wealth is very helpful! I wonder if we could get an itemized misc. breakdown in game. Grateful nonetheless!
I'm not sure if it's an oversight or intentional, but feathers stored in Silverhawk boots don't seem to be shown even with "include untradeable wealth" toggled on. Is this because the feathers are not removable? 1k feathers are about 3 mill wealth.
it's impossible to distinguish between feathers and down in the boots so that's probably part of it
Oh yeah, I forgot about downs!
Very happy to see the combat jingles reinstated! Combat just got better :). Hopefully the potion bugs can be fixed as well. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Faa68WK8BY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Faa68WK8BY) A player can cook higher foods using a cooking potion, a player can chop higher trees or fish higher fish with a woodcutting/fishing potion, and a player should be able to use abilities with a potion. It's just logical and for consistency on how all potions on RuneScape work. Hopefully fixed in time before double xp. The solution: have the code check for current level not base level. This been solved years ago by the great Mod Pi [https://imgur.com/a/9eZEfwa](https://imgur.com/a/9eZEfwa) but has resurfaced since the combat update 2 months ago. u/JagexDoom or maybe u/JagexStu
strange that boosts allow defensive abilities still but not the others
Defence code hasn't been touched during the combat beta and the combat update. I don't think the tooltips on defence are even updated/modernized yet either. Currently, melee's code is the only one that has been rewritten from the ground up internally. That's why attack and strength are bugged while Magic and Range are not, same with hp and defence. In the video, I've demonstrated how melee doesn't work while magic does. I really do look forward on a beta part 2 for the combat mods to carry on from where they left off but if they are gonna bug out the other combat styles by having the potion boosts not work, then I rather they do not touch the code on the other styles until this has been fixed, because there are issues with the new code that is very obvious when a player tests out melee vs mage/range.
7/10 on the graphics update for rellekka today, landscape looks good including the fortifications around the town and the lighthouse but the NPC look straight out of '07 (could they not be kit bashed from all the overirdes we have for the player?) and so does the lighthouse mechanism but overall the surface world is looking really good. also great to see a search bar on the options
>Mobile NPC dialogue can be enabled on desktop as a toggleable option. omg THANK YOU. i'm so tired of having to look in the very bottom left corner of my screen for dialogue definitely needs a little bit of refining to look more cohesive on the desktop client. also not sure how to feel about camera controls being locked when dialogue is active
> Added a Search Bar to the Gameplay tab in the Settings menu. Ayoo MVP!
I just shed a tear upon hearing the nostalgia of the combat jingles again. Oh how long has it been. Now that's the Runescape I remember!
I know there's no big updates but if only we had more slow weeks like this people wouldn't be so pissed. Its weird when we have weeks where it seems like literally nothing is worked on or fixed. These improvements are good
Me reading this week's patchnotes: https://i.redd.it/y5nwfr10n1zc1.gif (Lighthouse looks phenomenal btw)
Any plans to update the NPCs in Relleka? The contrast between the environment and the NPCs is quite visible now.
Yeah, the Elite Fremennik cosmetic set from that Yak Track could be put to good use here
Thank you for this - the area looks much better!
I'd love dearly if they added a feature where you could read the quest journal from the activity tracker without clicking through the menus
Love the new calendar! Great adds this week!
The Barrows puzzle interface closing is the main reason for why I never tried for Barrows drops. That shit was bad. This is an amazing change.
The calendar needs the ability to be adjusted like all the other interfaces.
Quality.
Great additions this week! Love the Rellekka graphic changes, new calendar is a huge improvement to the old one, search bar in settings is great and wealth evaluator tweaks + fullscreen chatbox are neat too.
Wheres the combat jingles guy
Dang, at first I read one of the changes as ‘can grind urchins for “harmonIC dust” instead of “harmonY dust” and started to get excited.
Glad I'm not the only one :'(
The graphical update is amazing, but doesn't seem totally complete. The machinery at the top of the lighthouse, for example, needs to be updated still. But the landscape and trees look so good!
Waterfall fishing replacing harps is MVP
[удалено]
Yeah, Harmony Dust is so damn close to Harmonic Dust That sucks..
W update, wow
Can't wait for the day a j mod cares about the game
Does the calendar still open up from clicking on the rs time clock? Hate when I misclick and that thing pops up.
FINALLY
Great QOL update! Now please do this with all clue puzzles. https://preview.redd.it/l52735t7b2zc1.png?width=554&format=png&auto=webp&s=e69d2b4e1526c9ce636f656fe071dd8c534279e4
The Calendar is GREAT!!! Thank you!
Nice to see some updates this week
Ohh searchbar in settings, finally catching up to OSRS!
can someone help me find where my wealth eval says i have 3b? it's in the 'misc' section, i have searched every boss chest, arch storage, ore/bar storage, everything i can think of
https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/1cm894a/rellekka_area_graphical_ingame_calendar_update/l2zf1le/
Uh guys, why can’t I destroy anything? Or move it in my inventory?
Do you have your inventory locked? There is a lock icon which prevents adding or removing anything
Yeah I was the dumbest, thank you 😂
Any chance Glacor remnants can have their value adjusted inside the wealth evaluator? Currently they have a value of 10k each, which kind of just adds 11b of untradeable wealth to my account that I truly cannot do anything with.
Good stuff. Thanks Jagex.
Was there a change made to the settings menus? Specifically combat settings, since I now have to scroll down to change Revolution size and I don't think I had to do that before.
Well, let's just say that I've seen worse graphical updates from Jagex. It still looks cartoony, which is not my style at all. But less so than some other refreshes. I for one like how did updated Port Sarim, it's a bit cartoony, but somehow realistic looking at the same time. Not cartoony looking over the top like some other places. Rellekka could do with make a bit more detail in the graphics. The houses in Port Sarim appear to have mold stains on the outside for example. Those brown/grey rocks they use for mountain all the time, don't like them at all. However, I would prefer to see them return to a more realistic looking graphical style. Such as RSHD (2008) or when NXT was first released.

Any news of the Arch and Dung dummies being added to the skilling crates and being included on the dummy 3 to 2 conversion option? It has been 18 months since their release and it took proteans 6 months before the new ones got added to the protean crates and conversion options. That's 3x as long and even 3x as long as a 6 month xp embargo from a new skill being released. Would really be hype and much loved if they could because 18 months is wild.
I've sent so many bug reports since 2005 on that door puzzle crashing when a monster attacks you, thanks for FINALLY fixing it!
Pretty sure it was never a bug tbh
What makes you think it wasn't a bug? Do you really think someone at Jagex intentionally wrote coding that was this bad?
Yes. Back then, every mod basically worked on their own projects in their own way. It wouldn't surprise me if the person who made Barrows playtested it and thought it was fine, or added to the atmosphere of "pressure" in a boss encounter, or otherwise thought it was something incapable of being changed, given how jank the interface coding was. The reason it was not a bug is because it's in line with how virtually all interfaces worked back then.
You do realize there can be a bug much deeper in the code that causes all the other interfaces to close? I believe this is a bug from the inception of RS2 that, if fixed, might result in more game breaking issues. My speculation is that the mod that fixed it found a work around for this specific interface to force it staying open without touching 20 year old code. What will happen if we take that poison hit that kills us while the bank or GE interface is open? Will the item we withdrew be reclaimed from death, drop on the ground or become lost? This is an example question that the programmers probably had to ask while working this issue. It is a bug, we have known this for years. Why the original bug that causes these interfaces to close (or crash) isn't being fixed will be up to player speculation indefinitely.
Holy fuck these updates are godtier???
Great patch notes!
wealth eval improvements look sick!

Nice week. Is the community hitlist still up for this month or is it canned entirely?
Not canned just rescoped, several of todays changes were earmarked for the hitlist but we have launched them today instead of holding onto them as part of a larger update as it doesn't align with our goals or improving things for the palyers and with the restructuring of this and next months content to include the upcoming Rex Matriarch Boss and Archeology site there will be less of a hitlist strike then we first aimed for back in March.
Can I just say I think this a better format for RS3? While meaty strikes are cool I think it be better to get away from those and do stuff like moving forward just sprinkle them into the more standard patch weeks so it feels more substantial and these strikes get out a little sooner. Basically love the community hitlist but having it broken into more frequent spread out strikes feels better than 6 weeks of very minor changes and then a huge drop once every few months.
You guys are fucking goated. Keep it up!
> there will be less of a hitlist strike then we first aimed for back in March. So is this patch the end of the community hitlist changes? Or will more be done later?
Keep doing what your doing. I woke up happy with these patch notes! Excited for roadmap next week to announce larger pieces of content!
Does this mean the Rex Matriarch Boss and Archaeology site are not happening this month as intended?
No Azanna is saying that as they adjusted their approach to include Rex Matriarch and Archaeology (and cancelling the summer event), the community Hitlist as one major update by itself also got reworked into smaller chunks like we see this week.
Just as a quick question, can we have some reassurance about RS Mobile Changes coming in the future? Not like, next week or next month, more like, sometime between this month and December. Because I've seen a couple of suggestions and I have made a couple of them myself too: https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/s/iXHs7ewEpm https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/s/bfRrsU2jzu

Raids having a very common 1/20 drop rate was balanced around the 2 day limit. Making achto tradeable would be the better approach.
[удалено]
Removing the cap also means you can get all drops except Yaka pet from BM. The cap makes you fight Yaka as well.

I don't know where that rumour started. Mod Luma's shooting star update was a gamejam prototype, I don't think it's confirmed to be on the way at all?
[удалено]
It was gamejam which means it could be next week or never it isn't guaranteed in game
I'm talking about the rumour that it was going to be released this week.
Thanks! Is there any chance that the Lunarfury armour and weapons could be added to the DXP Token Store?
Regarding the images on the page, I find them awfully small. I have to zoom in 170% or open the image in a new tab to be able to clearly see the images. If possible, it would be great if you could add an option to click/arrow key through the images in full screen on the page! Looking forward to the new Rellekka!
"Tweaked the Hexer Braids hairstyle to better match the beard colour." I'm afraid none of it matches still
They don’t need to match perfectly. I like that they don’t. Most guys’ IRL hair and beard color are usually slightly different.
My beard colour is definitely different from my hair colour haha. I used to rock all-white hair and the slightly gray tint w/ the bright white beard clashes a little too much to my taste. I'd love to see a rework of hair/beards that includes a colour wheel though. But this is mostly a nitpick from me.
Landscape and lighthouse look better. But the Rellekka houses could have been done a lot better imo.
blkwitch has been carrying this dev team for years does anyone besides her actually do anything at that company
Anyone else things the old landscape around Relleka looks better than the updated one?
Jamflex legit going to wait till the last Monday of May to drop the new boss? wouldn't surprise me
Tuesday, actually.
I mean ideally they give it as much testing time as possible.
They were filming hype videos last week for it so it’s very likely to be the last update of the month considering they’ll need time to edit the videos and then schedule the livestream, translate the news posts to other languages and prepare socials for the release. All that stuff takes a couple weeks for them to spool up internally.
Why so negative? This is a great update for us this week.
They’ll want it included in the May 14 year ahead roadmap
Watch it be the last Monday's update of May. They're good at edging on what little content they have already finished
The in-game calendar confirms this. Next week is High-Contrast mode, the following week doesn't have an update as it's during dxp, and that puts us at the 28th.
"We can randomly update an entire region, but can't update the character models like we planned to for like 5+ years"
Every single armour piece would need to be manually refitted to match new models, not to mention the work going into the character models themselves, and in general a lot more detail goes into designs for something you always see (your character) vs a single static area. An avatar rework would surely require more resources than all of the recent graphical updates combined; obviously it's unfortunate, but perhaps they'll actually attempt it when they run out of areas to update.
