But what does the pet look like? Why are we only advertising the transmog
We thought it might be fun to keep the new pet a surprise until someone gets it, however, if this is something you guys are not happy with, I'll let the team know and we can probably release this information.
The elite clue stack only grows. How many more weeks will it take for Jagex to change some numbers?
It wasn't possible to get this in for this week due to the sheer amount of stuff needing to be QA'd this week, however, we know this is really important to you, and it's high on our priorities. We'll get it to you as soon as we can.
so we don't use our own ess anymore?
Yes, this was a relatively later change in the design. Husky confirmed this via his Jagex Twitter last week. We know some players have taken time to grind out pure essence so it's not something we really wanted to change but in reality, the pure essence made the minigame feel quite clunky and so much more laborious. I'm hopeful we can make a pure essence sink in the future that feels better. Let us know your feedback though when you get a chance to try it out.
Ok so if we need pouches for the minigame should we take npc contact too, to fix them?
I've asked Elena about this and she mentioned that there is a bank in the lobby that can NPC contact from there. I hope this helps!
edit: There is a bank outside so you can grab NPC contact runes in between games if you want to.
Still no CA kc reduction. Must take engine work.
It's still on our priorities, we had a lot of stuff to QA this week, I apologise for the wait!
Are the extra runes fr the outfit going to count for the purpose of diaries? Because that would be wack.
I believe this is the case, however, if this is something that the community wants us to reconsider, please let me know and I'll ensure this is brought up in feedback. The outfit is a pretty decent grind as far as I know and we felt the benefit was worth it.
For the ring of elements teleports you have west listed twice.
Also, was the delay when crafting runes removed with this update?
This is correct, it's west of two different altars. I've just checked and the Poll 76 change delay when crafting runes was removed with this update - thank you for reminding me. I'll add this to 'other changes' now.
The energy is capped at 1,000 units, split between each energy type. For example, you might gain 400 Elemental Energy and 600 Catalytic Energy.
The energy is capped at 1,000 (split between them). For example, you might gain 400 of one and 600 of another.
May I suggest:
The energy is capped at 1,000 total. For example, you might gain 400 Elemental Energy and 600 Catalytic Energy.
Thank you so much 🙏 I'll fix this now!
tick delay removal when using zmi altar when? Next week?
This was done as part of this week's update, apologies for missing it! I've added it to the "Other" section now. <3
I don't see see anything about the runecraft altar delay being removed, is it not coming with this update?
Yes this is coming with this week's update, apologies for missing it from the newspost! I've added it to the "other" section.
I already miss the android beta lol. Here's to hoping it's back soon!
I believe the android beta client accidentally reverted back to Java for a moment, however we're working on getting a new build out to you so that you're able to play it again! Check out our official Twitter for more info, we'll let you know when it's back :)
Saika's Shroud Magic attack bonus increased from 8 to 118 and the set bonus now provides 60% Magic accuracy and 5% Magic damage
this should say 11? 118 may be a little to high :)
Thank you and apologies!! <3
the nature altar seems to be missing from the table about upgrading barriers, is it supposed to say it can make strong barriers.
Thank you Yad, I've amended this!
I find it pretty strange to name it “true” blood altar when it can just be called blood altar while changing the altar in Arceuus to something else
It probably should just be called the blood altar, I think we just keep referring to it as "true" because many players are used to the other one. We will discuss this, thank you for raising it!
Why remove the charges from the lantern?
Logs and Firemaking are of very little use, and turning this mechanic into another one-time light like the Troll Bonfires is just adding more salt into this very old wound.
Even if the charges per log are made more lenient, can we see the mechanic re-reverted?
Realistically it'd be a negligible sink, so we prioritised the simple usability of the item.
I'm viewing it more as a reward for training firemaking (something it lacks). Firemaking as a skill still absolutely needs more uses which could be somewhat more focused on using higher quantities of logs.
Update looking great!
Do you happen to know if the Abyssal Lantern bonuses are exclusive or cumulative?
They should be exclusive and not cumulative, and also they should only work in the minigame
Unrelated, but any idea when we'll see the pet reclaim changes from poll 76 implemented? I'm super excited for GotR, but after 6 years of waiting for my rift guardian to come back, I'll wait to do it together
I can't give you a date just yet but I really want you to get your pet back ASAP. The poll 76 changes are coming out in chunks with content releases. This release was huge with changes. The pet one will probably take longer than the others if I'm honest to dev.
We know the big priority poll 76 changes - KC changes & elite clue changes, and of course the pet changes. They will be out as soon as we can get it to you. I'll let you know the dates when I have one
Kind of off-topic, but any idea when the elite clue 3rd age buff that was voted in poll 76 will be implemented?
I don't have one yet but we know this is a huge priority for the community. They'll be out as soon as we can get it to you. This update was pretty huge QA-wise. I know this is something you guys are anticipating.
Thank you for the update, I hope I didn’t come across like an asshole. It’s just something I’ve been looking forward to for many months, maybe over a year or so now, since SayBay first brought it up.
Now that we’re so close to the change I get excited every Wednesday that it may finally be time to open the stack. Thanks for your work here and enjoy your day
It's a huge change for the community, so we'll likely do a social post at the very latest on the Monday before the game update to let you know when it's coming. Next week is pretty much going to be GOTR Feedback Changes, the following week is game jam which means no updates going out that week, I'm hopeful we get it across to you as soon as possible. Sorry for the wait!
Cool, still nothing good from poll 76 and more info to come "soon".
Sorry I can't give you dates just yet. I'm really happy that you're looking forward to Poll 76 stuff though, it was a pleasure working on that poll with you guys. I'll be able to share dates as soon as I have them
seems like android apps busted since the update
(it won't launch)
Hi guys!
An update went out at 11.30am which may have borked your client for a minute, sorry about that. I'm told that it should be working fine for players now, but if not please check you've updated steam/your app to the latest version.
If you're still experiencing issues on Steam, I've been advised you try this: Right-click game in Library -> Properties -> Local files -> Verify integrity of game files
So the 3rd age droprate from elite clues poll is still being worked on? Want to open my elite clues man!
Yes, it's still being worked on! Sorry about the wait.
Classic (how it current is in live)
I guess it should be "Classic (how it currently is in live)"?
Appreciate you! This has been fixed.
Totally off topic but do you know when the chess minigame was being added to the games room? It was shown to be in progress a couple years back and I’m still hype for it.
I think this was always a love project from the developers, if it's the same one I'm thinking about. I'm genuinely not sure if this is getting released or not. Seemed really popular though so I wouldn't say never ever.
When are the elite clue 3rd age drop rates being changed?
As soon as we can get this out! We know that this, along with KC changes and the pet changes are really important to you guys. I can't give you a date until I have one but I'll let you know as soon as it's coming.
When will RuneLite be updated does anyone have any information about this?
Hi Snoop! Runelite actually has a fantastic discord which will ping you when it's been updated. https://discord.gg/8aYQvzBw
How long does it usually take runelite to update after these big updates?
Runelite has a discord that will usually ping you when they've updated the client to work as intended. :) It's super helpful.
/u/JagexLight game keeps crashing at the point where you have to answer the riddle on mobile. Is this known/being fixed?
We're investigating this now, will update as soon as I know more
Update - We're using a new animation for this it looks like, which is why you may be crashing. Still investigating.
where is the lantern, how do you obtain it?
It's from the rewards shop!
You f**ked up again. Untradables are tradable
Official comms are going out about this via Twitter and other official platforms. We will resolve this as soon as possible.
How long will game be down for? Standard roll back time?
I'll keep you posted here and elsewhere (keep checking official comms & the update newspost). I'll let you know when I know any progress or any updates. It's a serious issue with untradeables so we need to treat this very seriously.
It goes without saying but we're extremely sorry for the inconvenience caused.
This quest is unplayable on mobile, it literally crashes everytime you speak with an npc during quest and now when I do the wizard traiborn riddle and i give him the answer im stuck in an endless loop where it crashes and i gotta talk to him again to give him the answer and it keeps repeating, please hotfix jagex
This is under investigation - apologies for this. We will get this sorted out, however, we're also looking into a bug with untradeables which we've shut the game down to resolve. I've updated the newspost with the status that I know of.
Please help, the new quest is bugged for me! I get no dialogue after the abyss is re-opened and the guardian arrives. So I can't do anything, can't complete or go any further. Any ideas?
Hi, sorry to hear you're experiencing this. We've seen various reports of players being unable to progress various parts of the Temple of the Eye Quest. We're reviewing the information being sent to us and investigating. We'll update the newspost as soon as we have a fix ready.
Cant finish quest. Stuck at rift part 10/10 would recommend...
Who actually did this update? Any QA process? Any clue?

u/JagexLight Can you get the normal RC pet during the game when making runes at alters?
No, it isn’t possible to get the normal RC pet during the minigame at the regular altars. Our rationale behind this was if this was possible it could leave other runecrafting methods quite dead. I’d love to hear what you guys think as I’ve seen it come up in feedback a bit
u/JagexLight How about non-combat accounts will they ever be able to do all the catalytic runes in the game? It's really hard to balance points when there are so many times it lands on a combat quest required rune...
I’ll see what the team think about this. Thanks for bringing it up!
u/JagexLight Saw a rumor you'll be adding lantern to the shop, are you? and if you do will you be removing it from drop chance as well?
Nothing has been decided on this, it’s just something we discussed and then asked for feedback about. Thematically it doesn’t make sense to come from saradominist wizards but we polled and blogged it as coming from the shop so the solution if any is still not decided yet
