Is this also the addition of a points system for combat achievements or is that coming in a future update?

No, this is something we still want to do, but it would need polling before making the changes.

There's a handy table if you scroll past the changelog, to find more detail on each of the new updates :)

Shouldn't the elite GWD KC be reduced to 30 instead of 32? From the top of this post https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/combat-achievements-expansion-rewards?oldschool=1

Good spot! This has been changed :)

Looking forward to this update, great job. Quick question - for the upcoming wildy expansion can we get some more clarification on the early stage proposals to buff wilderness dark crabs/ dark fishing bait?

Just to clarify, if you are talking about the Game Jam pitch, none of those concepts are confirmed to be coming to the game.

It wasn't the game jam pitch. It was more an indication of interest by the devs on Livestream that we should give some consideration to dark crabs with the current risk/reward idea of the wilderness.

Appreciate the clarification :) The final details for something like that would be discussed at a later date, but I can't confirm anything regarding this atm.

When is the mining cycle delay removal coming? Poll 77, question #10:

Should we remove the random cycle delay when mining ores (excluding Iron, Granite and Sandstone)?

Next week's update should see most of the remaining Poll 77 changes coming into the game.

Unlocks a new ammo-slot item, Ghommal's Lucky Penny, which gives a 5% chance to not consume charges when worn with charged weaponry such as the Trident of the Seas or the Scythe of Vitur.

This is not what we voted for. We were polled charged items:

Should we offer a new Blessing that gives a 5% chance for charged items to save charges as a reward from Combat Achievements, as described in the 'Combat Achievements Expansion: Rewards' poll blog?

This should apply to crystal armour too as well as jewellery and the ring of suffering. You cannot poll one thing then deliver something else.

We'll get another sentence added, but the intent is for the charge usage reduction to apply to things like teleport jewellery, tomes, crystal armour etc. as well. Appreciate you raising this!

Can't you just tie the retroactive combat exp to an OPT IN dialog option, and on whatever obscure NPC? Not everyone is a nolifer, some would really appreciate the combat exp they are now cut off from forever..

Not sure if this is a misunderstanding, but Combat XP for Master/Grandmaster Quest Rewards hasn't been increased at all - whether that's for people claiming retroactively, or completing those quests after today.

Maybe a potential mistake on the blog? Or an oversight?

A Night at the Theatre is listed as having changed from 3 to 4 lamps, 20k xp each. However, those lamps are restricted to combat xp (and the blog says that you have "opted not to increase Combat XP rewards retroactively").

Since they're optional and not forced into a specific skill (and not included in the all-or-nothing from Perdu) I think that still stands as correct.

Thanks and have a great day.

Yup... might even be today :)

It looks like there are only three (?) changes left from poll 77. Should we expect another QoL poll by the end of the year? There's been a lot of noise about removing coin pouches.

The team are already in discussion about what the next QoL poll will look like, so we are hoping to get that to you sooner rather than later :)

Did the need to have the book of the dead to cast arceuus being removed from combat achievements pass? I'm sure I remember that being a thing but can't see it here

This is something that was suggested by players but not offered in the poll itself.

also can we just rename it to Ghommal's Blessing? why lucky penny lmao that sounds so ridiculous

Ghommal is not a godly man. All the faith he has, he places in his lucky penny.

📣 Good news, our scheduled maintenance has been completed earlier than expected!

This means you should start to see worlds come back online very shortly.

As per usual, we'd love to hear what you think about the latest in-game changes!

Happy 'scaping!

Could you let me know what you used to teleport there?

EDIT: Thanks for all the information, the team is currently investigating the issue.

almost 2 years ago - /u/JagexSarnie - Direct link

📣 We've seen reports of players experiencing issues with teleports inside the Player-Owned House.

The team is aware of the issue and currently investigating. We'll keep you updated via the Game Update Newspost.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

EDIT: We are also aware of charged items losing all of their charges after the completion of one action.

Whilst the team investigates this issue, we would recommend not using any charged items.

almost 2 years ago - /u/JagexSarnie - Direct link

📣 We have deployed hotfixes for several items that were affected by the issue causing charged items to consume all charges.

Please let us know if you find any further issues related to charged items not working correctly.

Thank you for your patience.

Just reposting this here for visability:

📣 We are currently looking into a number of issues surrounding the Combat Achievements for Tombs of Amascut.

The team is hoping to fix these over the next few days. So far we've hotfixed the following issues:

▪ Being able to complete 'Akkhan't Do it' at Level 1 Akkha ▪ Simultaneous completion & failure messages for 'Perfect Apmeken' ▪ Completing 'You Are Not Prepared' without taking items from the Helpful Spirit ▪ Using some Tier 75+ equipment still allowed 'But... Damage' completion

We'll keep you updated on our progress. Thank you for your patience.
