Was it changed to work on all 3 combat styles? The blog doesn’t specify.

Just melee but it won't use a charge if you have it on and do range or magic attacks.

You can't boost agility levels for the Hallowed Sepulchre

Three new music tracks, which previously only played in cutscenes during the Myreque questline, are now unlockable. Players who have already completed the relevant quests will find that the tracks have been unlocked automatically.

Which are these so I can listen?

They are called: Vampyre Assault, Domain of the Vampyres and Morytanian Mystery

Seriously tho how the hell does that happen? What kind of coding mistake only leaves out claws? Curious

Oddly enough it's because the Raids chest has a list of objects considered as "purple drops" and the claws were in a separate list under "claws" for all the various types of claws so when coded to be "give a purple light for all these purple objects" it was checking the code for the list of the purple drops but not the file containing the claws.

are dust and ornament kits on the same droptable? Meaning first you roll if you hit the droptable and after it rolls if you get a ornament kit or dust?

They are not on the same drop table. You can get both a dust and the kit in the same chest.

So apparently, if you get a drop at Chambers of Xeric, the purple light is broken. It shows a white light.

I've flagged it to the developers and QA thanks for letting me know!

Edit: This was only affecting the Dragon Claws but has now been hotfixed and should be purple from here on out :)

You do need to make time to get the drop.

Disregard post, Mod Acorn corrected, leaving it up as show of my idiocy

I've noticed something interesting in the background of the merch pictures. Look here the first pic is of the merch, but look behind.

 

Doesn't that look like the barrows area in the left and mid pic?

 

The second picture is a screencap of TheLazyPeon's video covering OS remastered. In this moment, he was at barrows.

 

It's not exactly the same but they do look very similar.

If it's any consolation the person that took the photo placed the pins against some fake grass IRL though I do see the some similarities.

Sorry, a little confused here, then what is the difference between Question 19 and Question 21 from Poll #71?

Edit: I understand that question 20 is implemented over question 21 because question 20 was highest rated, but what does question 19 mean then vs. question 21?

It's okay and I can see how it's confusing. In the blog we ask the player do you want an increased chance of getting grubs based on thieving level (19). If that passes then we poll how do you want to get these grubs: multiple grubs from a single chest (20), or just overall chance increase across all chests (21). Hope that clarifies!

Edit: Typo

From now on, Vanguards will have a visual cue if their health is either too high or low.

The final Chambers of Xeric change, which will add a HUD to Vanguards and bosses, is still in development. We'll update you with an estimated release date nearer the time.

I'm a bit confused, why are you adding both of these? Isn't that just excessive visual clutter?

The visual cue is rather an animation that plays on the vanguards themselves so shouldn't be too much clutter. The HUD and cue were both things that passed the poll which is why we did them.

We haven't released drop rates for the kit itself but we can confirm they are not the same.

Is question 19 "Should the chance of getting grubs from chests in the Chambers of Xeric be based on Thieving levels?" not included in this?

I only see question 20 in the post.

That poll question was the highest rated of the two. The highest rated yes vote was for obtaining multiple grubs from the chest rather than just the flat increase of obtaining grubs in general based on thieving levels.

It is possible to get the kit before dust :)

Still being developed and QA'd. However we need to get Darkmeyer out next week so it may be a few updates before you see that one.

No you don't need the dust to get the recolour kit. It's just that it's an additional roll on the table.

I do ask for questions in the post above and have already placed quite a few of them from this Reddit thread in the document for today. We are just finishing the last few player questions from Poll 71 that we didn't get to when we last did a Q&A (it's only about 3-4 of them). Hope this clarifies!

Post

We'll be live on twitch.tv/oldschoolrs today from 5pm BST!

On the virtual livestream we will have the following J-mods:

Mod Acorn
Mod Arcane
Mod Husky
Mod Sween

We plan to finish our discussion on Poll 71 and with Darkmeyer coming out June 4th, we will answer a few questions regarding the release.
