Just a heads up for everyone (post-release notes):

We saw a bunch of players fighting corporeal beast, which brought in a lot more drops than we were expecting! There were adjustments made to corporeal beast's HP and drop rates, but for those of you who solo instanced corp, don't worry! We plan to implement a patch in the near future which will make instanced corp identical to the original one, in terms of hitpoints and drop rates. You will also be able to use your cannon in these instances! Stay tuned.

This is very nice!

I think there might be a mistake in the line "Increased slayer task scroll cost to 1,000 rune coins instead of 750 at RC shop", it's meant as runex points, right?

Then what is the point? :/ 

 

Considering how many varieties of the -raid mods- go un used most of the time it seems like 250rc was ok. Thats already 50m and now its 100. 

Capping blood healing is a fat RIP but what can you do..

Kebbits were already not fun to catch. Reducing the token amount ON TOP of adding in more "junk" items kinda hurts. 

 

***There is a bug on boss point tree. Gwd superior 1 is now locked again for those that already purchased. 

We appreciate everything I really don't mean to only focus on the negative. Just my opinions. 

Thanks for all the hard work

EDIT: Fixed issue with GWD 1 perk. Kebbit token reduction was removed, it is now back to the way it was before the update

Very happy to see this update,

I've wanted Runex to steer away from the AFKscape it became but always knew even slight changes would cause an uproar, thanks for the hard work.

 

Also, First.

Great update but you just broke blood barrage. The cap is so low that you cant even properly afk Zilyana anymore. I think the cap should at least be 80.

It would nice to see untradable nardah scrolls and slayer task scrolls be added to this :)
