Uncle 68 Posted December 17, 2021 Note from the Developers This patch was our first step toward increasing the viability of different mid-game content/items (and to hold things over until this year's Winter Event!) Our aim is bridging the power gap between mid/late game items and end-game BiS items. Reaching a certain power level on RX has always relied heavily on a player's RNG, amounted from massive boss KCs and enchantment sacrifices. In short, while players are on the way to "end-game BiS" we still want there to still be some feeling of progression (Rather than suddenly feeling stagnant until extreme BiS rares are obtained) Patch Notes Facemask, Nosepeg, Earmuffs, Witchwood, Mirror shield & Leaf-bladed slayer damage boosts have been increased against respective monsters Tome of fire & (i) effects now work with both Iban's blast & Zamorak flames spells Iban's staff (i) deals +5% more damage to undead Phoenix crossbow & 2h crossbow now have 50% chance to heal for 1/6 damage dealt Zanik's crossbow & (i) variant now have 10% chance for a regular hit to be a special attack Cursed cape stats go up by 50% within 30 or deeper wilderness Salve amulets effect changed to deal +10% damage to undead, and the imbued version deals +15% Book of infinity now increases magic spell max hits by +7 when all infinity gear equipped (including blessing) Lunar set now increases magic tokens gained in arena by +1 per piece worn Master wand increases damage dealt to battle mages by 50% Cursed necklace now gives +10% drop rate in cursed cavern Cursed armor full set increases melee pvm attack speed by +1 in wildy Cursed robe full set increases magic pvm attack speed by +1 in wildy Cursed cannon reduces enemy's defenses by 1/10 damage dealt in wildy Cursed blade effect changed to reduce enemy defence by 1/10 damage dealt in wildy Revenant weapons (Craw/Thammaron/Viggora) damage bonus increased from 50% to 75% in wildy Nardah wand now increases magic damage by 10% when the Nardah robe set is equipped Mystic sand pieces increase max hit by +1 for each piece worn, similar to decorative equipment from the achievement shop Eagle cape now increases max hit by +1 when the Ogre bow is equipped Master/Molten/Lava/Frost Chompy hats now increases Dorgeshuun & Zanik's crossbow PvM damage by 15% (7.5% master) Elite void enchantment now has a 100% chance, and costs void top/bottom + 20k rune coins Fighter torso (e) now has a 100% chance, and costs 1x Torso (i) + 5k warrior guild token + 2500 rune coins Master task bottle now has a 100% chance for 8x task bottles Grandmaster task bottle now has a 100% chance for 15x task bottles + 10x master task bottles + 1250 rune coins Cannon set enchant now has a 100% chance for 2x Cannon sets + 100M to become gilded Kurask & kurask variants are now able to drop chaotic mystery boxes & the amulet of fury Experiment no3 is now able to drop noted dragon bones & noted implings Kraken is now able to drop battle robes Cockatrice is now able to drop mith & addy cbows/bolts Wilderness revenants have new dragon items added to their common table & magpies/ninja implings added to uncommon table Lava/Frost dragons are now able to drop rune & dragon crossbows Crazy archaeologist has rune cbow & cannonballs added to common table Magic shortbow & Rune arrows are now possible Kharazi chest loots Black chest at Fiyr shades are now able to give cannon pieces (rare) Improved drop tables tremendously for battle mages at Mage Arena Drastically improved magic token rate bonus (having most in arena) - Now gives +10 guaranteed tokens per kill instead of +3 Task master I achievement now additionally gives 2x Point mbox Task master II achievement now additionally gives 1x Slayer urn Task master III achievement now additionally gives 1x Epic bonus chest All pickpocketing npcs coin loots have been buffed massively, and regular loots buffed slightly as well All thieving stalls coin loots have been buffed massively Rogues chest commons have been buffed & rare chance reduced from 1/300 to 1/200 Twisted bow formula has been tweaked Previously it gave a custom bonus of +250 magic levels to enemy defences during calculations. This has been lowered to +200 if you are not using a Twisted Pendant. Fixed a bug that scaled magic defence too high in Xeric raids, resulting in insane hits from Twisted bow Increased effect of Elite Dharok's from 2x to 2.5x Increased max hit of Draconic claws to 400 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EHCIM Raimon 1 Posted December 17, 2021 Great update all around mate! great qol for earlier to midgame players without a doubt. Could we perhaps get a list of the ingame npc's that have certain features, such as what counts as "undead"? Feel like that'd be useful. I know we can use osrs wiki for it, but no one knows for sure if thats 100% accurate compared to runex either, plus we have more custom mobs that may or may not count as certain things. Ty in advance if we could! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OT: I love seeing mid-tier gear having purpose now! Ie; Phoenix cbow, Zanik's, etc. But, I don't understand why some of these enchantments are 100% now? Not to mention you can now make a gilded cannon? Very strange! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
