Ryan 873 Posted October 24, 2022 NEW Prestige System The prestige system allows you to advance ("prestige") to the next game mode when your levels are maxed (all 99s), by resetting all of your levels and experience. It is also the only way to reach the new Heroic game mode. With that being said, it does come with some stipulations: You will lose access to all of your level-based unlocks until you regain your levels again. For example: Max Guild (and max dungeons), max capes, skill capes, etc. Achievements that require a certain skill level will be marked as incomplete until you regain them. This will cause you to no longer being able to wear items such as the Completionist Cape, until you re-complete those achievements. You may also lose access to content that requires a certain amount of achievements (only if it drops your total completed down below the requirement) Speak to the Wise Old Man at home if you'd like to get started! Heroic Mode Heroic mode is now the most challenging (and beneficial) mode on Runex, and can only be obtained by prestiging from Prime Mode. As voted on our discord community poll, the mode is symbolized with a cyan color. This mode also includes its own exclusive maxed 200m cape, with a hint of colors from the previous modes (NOTE: Like all other capes, this cape works with the empty cape tab!) Benefits: +15% Drop rate bonus +15% Chance for double drops Access to the Prestige perk tree Challenges: 1.0X experience rate (compared to Prime mode's 3.0x rate) 50% reduction to all experience boosts Overall experience boost is capped at +300% (after reduction) You can re-prestige an infinite number of times after you reach Heroic mode in order to receive Prestige points. You'll still remain on Heroic mode, but you will have an indicator for the amount of times you've re-prestiged on the Highscores (and through quick chat) Prestige Points (Perk Tree) Prestige points are only obtained by prestiging from Prime to Heroic (+5 points) or re-prestiging Heroic (+10 points). You can spend these points on the Prestige Perk Tree for various benefits (shown below) Cost of Prestiging Prestiging does has a cost, depending on your current mode: Normal -> Hard FREE Hard -> Supreme FREE Supreme -> Prime FREE Prime -> Heroic 250 Rune Diamonds (-10 discount per 200M skill) 250,000 Runex Points (-10,000 discount per 200M skill) Heroic (re-prestige) 1,250 Rune Diamonds (-50 discount per 200M skill) 500,000 Runex Points (-20,000 per 200M skill) GIM Prestiging GIM groups can prestige as well, although with slightly different mechanics (leading up to Heroic) If the group is NOT Heroic mode yet, each member must meet the requirements (maxed stats) and then individually speak with the Wise old man to cast a vote for the entire group to prestige. Once all members have voted, all members must be online to commence the group prestige. After the GIM group becomes a Heroic mode group, members of the group can then re-prestige on their own accord. (No requirements from other group members necessary) Prestige Trophies The wise old man will also grant you a Prestige partyhat and trophy based on your amount of Heroic re-prestiges: 1st re-prestige: Tier I Partyhat & Trophy (Green) 3rd re-prestige: Tier II Partyhat & Trophy (Blue) 5th re-prestige: Tier III Partyhat & Trophy (Red) 7th re-prestige; Tier IV Partyhat & Trophy (Purple) (Open Beta) OpenGL / GPU Mode We are excited to finally release a public version of the GPU/OpenGL mode! For some background on why its beneficial and what it does: Traditionally, the game client only uses 1 core of your CPU to render the game (while most modern games today use your GPU / video card) As a result, performance was always bottlenecked, ESPECIALLY in modes like resizable / fullscreen. Benefits & features of this mode: This mode will pass over most of the "work" to your video card, which should grant a huge performance boost! Especially in resizable / fullscreen mode! The better your video card, the better the results! (Unlike before, where your video card would not make any difference) FPS can now be uncapped, which can provide a much more fluid feel for the game Features like anti-aliasing and antiostropic filtering improve the visuals! We have included our own particle system to the OpenGL renderer, which should also have some visual improvements compared to non-gpu OpenGL includes support for multiple colorblind correction modes! To use this feature, all you have to do is enter command ::gpu in-game! PLEASE READ: This feature is in OPEN BETA, meaning you may run into some bugs / issues along the way (and we'd really like you to report them!) For players on HCIM mode, please be mindful of this! Operating systems like Mac OSX may run into some issues. It also may not perform as well as it would on Windows, due to Apple no longer updating support for OpenGL (the client will use OpenCL as an alternative) Example of visual comparison Example of uncapped FPS In-game Highscores In light of the recent prestige update, highscores have been moved from our website to in-game. Simply type ::highscores or ::hs to view it! The total EXP for heroic mode players will include experience from their previous re-prestiges. For example, if a player re-prestiged Heroic with 200m in each skill, that 200m will carry over to their highscore. Exotic loot scrolls You can now purchase "Exotic loot scrolls" from the wandering merchant for the Chasmquaker and Night Terror boss! When these scrolls are claimed, you will unlock **Challenge mode only** drops in each respective boss's drop table. Exotic loot table (challenge mode only) Both: 1/8 chance for 1-5 Divine shards Night Terror: 1/500 chance for an Exorbitant orb Chasmquaker: 1/500 chance for an Exuberant orb Exuberant orbs (chasmquaker) can be used on ferocious gloves or devout boots to create Executioner boots/glovesExorbitant orbs (night terror) can be used on inquisitor armor pieces (hauberk, legs, and helmet) to create Executioner armor pieces Executioner gearEach piece gives a +3% chance to perform an Execution melee attack, dealing 2X damage to monsters. Executioner armor also includes inquisitor effects. The effect will only be able to activate if.. You're using melee You're NOT using a scythe of vitur (or variant of it) New Enchantments Blessing of Artillery Combination of Blessing of Berserker and Blessing of Arnaments (20% chance) Blessing of the Rampart Combination of Blessing of Protection and Blessing of Fortitude (20% chance) Soothsayer pendant (i) Costs Soothsayer pendant and 150 Divine sahrds (20% chance) Gives +20% drop rate boost instead of +15% Mystery chest enchantment now costs 1,250 Rune coins and 10 Divine shards (rather than 2,500 Rune coins) Grandmaster Raids Entering a Grandmaster (GM) raid now only requires 500+ completed raids, rather than 1,000! Players who have already reached (or on the verge of reaching) 1,000+ completed raids will still be compensated! If you select the "Raid tasks" option when interacting with the Raids Portal, you will now see the following "Grand Challenge" Progress toward this task is retroactive, so those who are at 1k+ will automatically receive the reward upon opening this menu (and progress for players who have not yet reached it will count as well). NOTE: To clarify, the "voucher discount" reward is a permanent unlock and the Mystery tickets are the tradeable variant (not the untradeable variant!) Crestbearer Dyes You can now receive Dark crestbearer dye and Light crestbearer dye from the Exotic mystery box(Exotic mystery boxes are purchased from the Wandering Merchant's shop) QoLs and Gameplay Changes Collection logs will now display with green text when they're completed (and yellow when "in-progress") You can now type ::purple to see the amount of affliction raids until next guaranteed purple Affliction items will now show a red spotlight (rather than purple) on the reward chest (but it still counts as a purple for tasks etc.) Energy affliction now occurs every 30 seconds rather than 15 seconds Spec raid modifier spec reduction changed from -15% to 10%. Superior changed from -25% to -20%. Special attack reduction cap changed from 25% to 20% Draconic claws special attack accuracy reduced from 300% to 200% Recharge accessories now require your pet to be out for **20 seconds** before the effect can activate Lowest possible special attack cost is now 15% instead of 10% (Example: DDS spec can not cost less than 15% special energy) Special accessories and Restoration accessories now work on the same cooldown timer Bug Fixes Fixed a bug where some accessory cooldown timers cause other accessories to not proc/activate Fixed a bug where the TOB reward chest was not clickable from certain angles Fixed a bug where elite verac's bleed effect worked in PvP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
