Runescape Dev Tracker

With the release of the Sanctum of Rebirth, the code work required to make the T95 -> T100 upgrade item caused an issue that meant players were being given a bonus amount of accuracy by default.

In this weeks updated we fixed that issue. This means your accuracy is no different to than what it was in the week prior to the Sanctum of Rebirth.

The only additional change that we've made is that the defence of Sanctum creatures has been decreased so that the hit chance against those is somewhat similar to what was being experienced last week. Overall though, it's a slight buff to hit chance for the creatures due to how the hit chance calculations work.

should be back up now. The GE clerks were on lunchbreak

the flickering interface issue when viewing models using new VFX is an engine issue and will be fixed in an upcoming engine release.

Should be all good. Let us know if you're still encountering issues.

Should be fixed shortly, we're on it.

Wonder what caused it though.

Dungeon NPC's can have various 'behaviours' (Like mobs in ED4 high alching, them talking to eachother) setup when you make a new instance.
One of these behaviours is 'custom' which only the skeletons use and is the last behaviour type to get added to the dungeon NPC's.
Some time earlier this year (maybe last year?) the system was given a little bit of a face lift, and a line was removed that caused the custom behaviours to not get added to their NPC's accidentally. So instead they just chill.

TLDR: ^{it's 100% an inside job and someone in Jagex doesn't like the skelebob archers.}

^{probabaly /s but is it really /s ?}

Enjoy!

There is a visual effect on your player character when the boss dies and the chest contains a rare drop.

Previously, if you used the Surge ability the visual effect would disappear. This has now been fixed.

Get ready for Double XP just around the corner!

The Combat team have pitched the idea of a small cleanup for Vorkath.

This would be focused on fixing the core player issues, and cleaning up the experience as a whole.

If/when this is approved, we can bring the discussion to you (the players) and get your thoughts on the proposed changes.

Yes, Sanctum Bosses have been adjusted so you shouldn't notice a difference.

This is due to how the dungeon system (dev naming convention) was created for what you know as 'Elite Dungeons'.

Both the 'Zamorakian Undercity' and 'Sanctum of Rebirth' make use of this system, but with additional features such as enrage, unique reward chests, different group sizes, etc.

The dungeon system will continue to be used going forward for content of this type, and while working on the Sanctum we definitely discussed decoupling the save state data so that you can progress the dungeons independently however it was out of scope for the project in the end.

We have a task in the backlog to look at doing this at some point in the future.

TL;DR - Yes, we agree that they shouldn't share saved progress, and would like to resolve it at some point.

This is usually done for the immersion on that opening experience, however after the first run I understand that it can be a little frustrating.

I can look to change this and possibly make a rule that say going forward we should only force the camera for boss encounters when you have 0 kills. Just a thought!

Yeah, that's our bad. It's because when in design you talk about a lot of 'what ifs', and early on we weren't yet decided on how many boss encounters there would be, so saying 'after completing the entire run' kind of stuck, when we were mentioning it to other teams.

You are right, we probably could have just stated that the final boss has additional rewards.

There were never any plans to encourage a run without teleporting. The design for the Sanctum is very focused on making it more approachable.

If you're interested, the only time the idea came up was early in design where we discussed 'What would a Challenge mode look like?', at which point the idea of completing it in a single run made a lot more sense!

There's some really solid feedback here in the post and comments.

It's definitely something we will discuss and look to iterate on going forward.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

Building off our 2024 Player Survey, we’d love to hear your feedback on Player Value offered within RuneScape.

This is your chance to give us your take on Treasure Hunter, Solomon’s Store and more – from the value those features offer, through to how you feel they impact your experience with the game.

It'll take around 15-30 minutes, but by the end, you'll have helped us form a clearer understanding of your preferences and expectations - which will be essential in shaping the direction of RuneScape. Please do give your feedback within the survey as that's where it'll have the most impact.

Thank you for your time and energy, as always!

No plans to add bank options at the moment.

The reward chest can contain up to 40 items.

It's been mentioned by others, but I just want to confirm that what they're saying is correct!

The 'Death Mark' notes that it deals 'Fatal damage', which is actually 100,000 as noted by others.
