Unfortunately the tweet doesn't go into detail about what has actually changed, so I'll give you a summary:

Inquisitors staff piece:

  • Extremely rare chance while training within the fort when the pylon is active
  • Rare chance while training within the praetorium, where chance increases relative to the level of the hotspot you're excavating
  • Praetorium chance is increased if the pylon is active
  • Note: The base drop chance of receiving a staff piece from the praetorium has been decreased from what it was prior to the hotfix

Spear of Annihilation tip:

  • The drop chance has been decreased

It will make it harder for everyone to get, but it won't stop alts to keep on farming. So it's not a real fix, rather a slap to the common players who don't altscape

The difference between the chance of receiving a piece from the fort compared to the praetorium is massive. You'll most certainly see most staff pieces coming from the praetorium.

These changes were tackling multiple issues. The base drop chance being decreased for both the staff pieces and the spear tip was made to decrease the number of these items coming into game to bring it closer to what we intended.

Why the f**k is this on twitter?

I don't have twitter, hey Jagex, if you're going to use social media for updates, can you post all information on all social media, or centralize it on the rs website/ingame?

Extremely irritating that we're supposed to follow you on all forms of social media if we want any hope of keeping up with changes/updates.

We added this to both the game update newspost and Patch Notes newsposts when we posted the tweet and highlighted it as a hotfix.

They have a website for a reason.

We did put the hotfix on both the game update and patch notes newsposts when the tweet was posted and highlighted it as a hotfix.
