| 0s | March is here! |
|---|---|
| 1s | This month our attentions turn to Firemaking. |
| 5s | Until now there's not really been a huge incentive to train the skill |
| 9s | and that's something we want to change. |
| 11s | Bounty Hunter is being retired and its rewards redistributed throughout the game. |
| 16s | Plus, we've revisited the fiddly transmog system |
| 19s | and changed the over-competed abyssal demons |
| 22s | and dark beasts systems with a new Slayer dungeon. |
| 25s | On top of that we have the arrival of our SGS competition winner items |
| 29s | and, as you may have already seen, a nice little Elite Dungeon surprise. |
| 43s | THE MONTH AHEAD MARCH |
| 45s | We've been aware for a long time that Firemaking wasn't quite where it needed to be in RuneScape. |
| 51s | Luckily our Incense Burner and Firemaking Week is designed |
| 55s | to kickstart a new era of combustible fun. |
| 58s | Central to the Firemaking rethink are the new incense burners, |
| 62s | eighteen new potion-like incense sticks that are made with Firemaking. |
| 66s | They combine the use of various logs, herbs, and impious, accursed or infernal ashes. |
| 72s | There are also lots of different effects you can achieve, |
| 75s | many of which are increased with higher potencies. |
| 78s | As well as the incense burners, we are also introducing changes to fire spirits, |
| 82s | which now give an XP buff for log burning. |
| 85s | They also move to your backpack when clicked to be opened in your own time. |
| 89s | In addition, the fire spirits' drop tables have been spruced up a little |
| 93s | and you can now strike gnomish firelighters to give you a five minute boost, |
| 97s | extendable to sixty minutes if more are used. |
| 100s | During this time, fire spirits will be automatically collected |
| 104s | and the quantity of their rewards boosted. |
| 106s | The changes to Firemaking will arrive in game on March 18th. |
| 110s | We can safely say that we had the very best intentions with Bounty Hunter, |
| 114s | but sadly over time it stopped being fun or viable. |
| 117s | As a result, Bounty Hunter will close this month. |
| 119s | However, the good news is that all the content that used to be locked away behind it |
| 123s | will be redistributed throughout the game on March 11th. |
| 126s | The biggest change comes in the form of a new Slayer master, Mandrith. |
| 129s | With Bounty Hunter now gone, he was looking for a new job, |
| 132s | and we felt he's earned this promotion. |
| 134s | Mandrith will now hand out Wilderness tasks and Slayer challenges. |
| 138s | Rewards, including bounty emblems, can then be claimed from his new shop in Edgeville bank. |
| 144s | Players will need to be level 85 Slayer to engage with Mandrith. |
| 148s | If you're PKed while holding a bounty emblem, it will tier down and the killer, |
| 152s | should they also be holding one, will siphon half of the points that the tier was worth. |
| 158s | And because Mandrith only has a few Wilderness denizens as tasks, |
| 161s | you won't be able to use your block and prefer lists with him. |
| 165s | Attention, slayers! |
| 167s | March 25th sees the introduction of a new Slayer resource dungeon |
| 171s | that's filled with abyssal demons and dark beasts, |
| 174s | which, as you all know, are two of the most competitive slayer mobs. |
| 179s | This will give players additional options. |
| 181s | The dungeon will be available to those with level 100 Dungeoneering. |
| 185s | Another big feature is the introduction of three new Raid practise modes |
| 190s | for The Liberation of Mazcab. |
| 192s | These will allow players to repeatedly fight Beastmaster Durzag |
| 196s | or either of Yakamaru's main phases. |
| 199s | Note that, as it's a practice mode, no killcounts or loot will be awarded for successful runs. |
| 205s | Also incoming are some bugfixes for Nex Angel of Death including various quality of life fixes. |
| 210s | Examples include everyone rolling on a rare item each fight, minions shouting when they die, |
| 215s | and changes to phase three's icicle mechanic, which should now be less annoying. |
| 219s | With over forty transmogs in the game, we're aware they take up a lot of bank space, |
| 223s | and all too often you don't have the one you want to hand. |
| 226s | As a result, we've made some changes. |
| 228s | For instance, all transmog items have been moved |
| 231s | into a dedicated separate tab on the emotes interface. |
| 234s | Plus, items will be automatically added when they are unlocked. |
| 238s | There's a brand new Treasure Hunter promo on the way this month |
| 240s | that offers both a new type of lamp and some brand new cosmetics. |
| 243s | What's so special about these lamps? |
| 246s | As the name might suggest, |
| 247s | Phoenix Lamps have a chance of being saved upon use, meaning they live to be used once again. |
| 252s | Like smouldering lamps, if a skill is chosen that has bonus experience, |
| 256s | up to the same amount of bonus experience is converted into normal experience as well. |
| 260s | At long last the winning SGS carnival competition submissions are coming to life. |
| 266s | From March 4th players will be able to pick up the winning wyvern cape |
| 269s | and the runners-up duo of the fairy drake and night fairy drake from Solomon's General Store. |
| 274s | Many congrats to Claire (Best Pud Pud) and Nadia (Dalia). |
| 279s | Both will of course get their winning creations for free. |
| 282s | As many of you will have already seen, alongside the final Elite Dungeon, Shadow Reef, |
| 288s | we also released a surprise new quest that ties the storyline of all three Elite Dungeons together. |
| 294s | Throughout the quest you'll encounter old friends and new allies, |
| 297s | and engage in puzzles and exploration, learning more about the Ambassador's storyline |
| 302s | and the connections to the other characters on the way. |
| 305s | To get started simply speak to Bryll outside Daemonheim. |
| 308s | Players require 12 Agility and 34 Woodcutting to play the quest, |
| 311s | and of course you will need to be able to complete the Elite Dungeons to progress. |
| 315s | If you've already completed the Elite Dungeons, even if only in story mode, |
| 318s | you are given the option to skip those parts of the quest. |
| 321s | Rewards include 10% damage reduction on all three of the Elite Dungeons, |
| 325s | stacking with story mode damage reduction, as well as some lamps. |
| 329s | Until next time, chums. |
| 331s | It starts with players identifying a cult and ends in confronting... |
| 336s | What? |
| 337s | No, I f***** up again. |
| 339s | Sorry, my bad. This is one I should get right. It's my f****** content. |
