Runescape Dev Tracker

this has been hotfixed now! was a fun one that was only rarely happening for those few stars with a lot of people mining them

Hey Folks, Chiming in here to give a bit more information on this potential update as I was the one who tried to keep it vague.

So first up the intended goal, this update is solely focused on items that drop in multiple pieces and that feature a random starting point to determine which piece is received first. This is not for every boss drop that is part of a set etc.

This was raised as a concern around GIM, we saw it as a friction point and so we wanted to create a reasonable system to address it, further review showed there was a handful of situations that also impacted Main accounts such as receiving doubled pieces from Elite Dungeons / Have interesting interactions with lootshare etc and so we wanted to create this system to be available across all game types.

This system currently is planned to affect the following weapons

Bow of the Last Guardian Pieces
Eldritch Crossbow Pieces
Ek-Zekill Pieces
Fractured Staff of Armadyl Pieces

Just checking... have you definitely completed the Pieces of Hate quest? Did you complete your first hatchet before today's game update?

I'm on holiday so can't check the code, but possibly the patch released today to break out of Ramarno's dialogue if you haven't completed Pieces of Hate is affecting the reclaim of his items, since they follow the same flow of dialogue.

After completing the hatchet once (you should get an achievement for it), you should be able to claim the ingredients from Ramarno.

But they're given to you one by one (IIRC the leg is the first item that's checked), so make sure you complete the dialogue (rather than clicking out of it) to get the remaining items. Also be sure you have space in your backpack to accept each ingredient.

You're supposed to be able to reclaim them. Certainly worked for me when I created the spare hatchet and pickaxe for my tool belt. (Albeit that was a week ago and we patched several things today, so could be a side-effect.)

*EDIT: Currently a bug where Ramarno breaks out of his chat after handling witchwood so he doesn't discuss the other 2 ingredients. Thankfully talking about them is optional to create the hatchet, but means the moonstone and tensile vine cannot be reclaimed after making a hatchet. We'll get a fix ready for the new year, but since we've shut down for Christm...

this has been hotfixed now to cap F2P stars at size 5

Hey Folks, so ahead of the patch videos, I send over the notes to Lee so he can capture some footage and generally talk about the changes and some potential applications, in this instance there was a bit of miscommunication on what the patch note was aiming to solve (mass producing porters as this had been a friction point for GIM players) and so it was in the video.

Apologies for any confusion caused.

Yes. :)

Only part that might be tricksy is if you happen to have both the pickaxe of life and death and hatchet of bloom and blight creation progressed to the exact same stage where you need to ensoul a moonstone, and complete the ensoul moonstone ritual.

I didn't want to risk adding a prompt to choose which moonstone you get when the ritual ends, in case you could lose your ritual ingredients by clicking out - so in that corner case, the moonstone gets ensouled in tool release order (ie pickaxe first). But you can then just ensoul another moonstone for the hatchet, and then should be able to continue with both tool creation processes in parallel.

Sorted now, I had been doing some last minute edits and duplicated that one.

What is that shooting across the sky! its the end of the year and what a year it has been! Check out today's update for the Shooting Star D&D

Hi there - you can drop me a DM on Discord. I can be found in the RuneScape and Old School RuneScape Discord servers, and my username is: jagexdoom

Thanks!

The Discord link didn't work?! Oh man, I worked hard on these emails! :(

I'm delighted to confirm that this is a legitimate email, and we'll be continuing to contact users from this email domain so look out for more emails from us! Remember, if you've received an email from us, that means we've accepted your signed NDA, so you're going to be required to adhere to the NDA from here on out!

We're excited to welcome you into the Discord next week when it opens and we'll get you testing soon. Thanks for checking!

It's probably because it's a new "sender" from the same Jagex domain, which some email filters are sensitive to. (Gmail flagged an initial wave of alpha invites as "Promotions" which wasn't very nice)

Tests are underway but we're still accepting applicants!

Hi folks, happy Saturday - can confirm that this is a legitimate email from us. Make sure to mark the Jagex email domain "m.runescape.com" as a safe sender so emails don't get filtered as spam (we're not sending that many emails, I promise!)

A gentle reminder to not share anything personally identifiable, or that may constitute a breach of NDA anywhere outside of the closed Alpha tester Discord. If anyone here has received an email from us, you've signed an NDA!

Beneath Scabaras' Sands is the first in this trio of quests and it will be kicking of the year on January 13th. Just one month away!
