To clarify, the XP buff from this Yak Track is capped at 25%, not 50%.

This is accumulated as you play, with every 5 tasks completed netting you +1% XP until you get to task 45. The final task then makes up the difference and takes the total XP buff to 25%, which again is the ceiling.

As mentioned Friday's stream our next Glacor Front newspost aims to be out later this week

Great spot, fixed and thanks!

If you do, I'd love to know what you think! :)

I enjoyed this bugfix. Originally it was raised as a mobile dialogue bug in the Restless Ghost conclusion cutscene (it used to use a very old variant of NPC dialogue that didn't play nice with mobile's new NPC dialogue interface).

But there were so many issues with that cutscene after all these years (including a bunch of dependencies on the coffin's previous location), it was better to just start over.

Then I reused some assets that've since become available (the human ghost model from last year's halloween event is proper handy). Alas, had to keep his original hat as even the ghostly lederhosen hat had transparency issues when worn on a semi-transparent head.

Between this and updating the coffin back in 2013ish, when the Lumbridge catacombs got some love due to Blood Pact being the first of Gudrik's paths, and the skeleton warlock in the 2015 skeleton graphical update, Restless Ghost's dangerously close to being a reworked quest!

We're aware of a bug where the Pearl Unicorn is listed in the Marketplace as being free when in fact it isn't. Interacting with it will result in your account being charged Runecoins if you have enough to buy it.

We will be pushing a hotfix shortly to fix the listing so that it properly reflects the cost. Sorry for the confusion!

Thanks very much for your review!

I've made a note of your feedback in case I get to take another crack at The Restless Ghost in the future. :)
