Hey, asked the team to take a look into this since it's important to us that OSRS remains accessible to everybody.

After an extensive review by multiple members of the Anti-Cheating Team, we believe that these bans are correct. We've tested the software mentioned against our detection systems and don't believe that the details of this post line up with what we see.

Additionally, this post doesn't mention a history of macroing bans and sketchy clients dating back a long time prior to the first offence mentioned here. The Anti-Cheating Team believe that these older ban records also indicate a clear intention to attempt to hide involvement in various macroing activities in the past.

We don't believe that controller remapping via software like the one mentioned in this post interacts with Old School clients in the same way that macro clients do, and would be keen to take this opportunity to reassure people who rely on remapping software that their characters sho...

I notice the hard/elite clue scroll drop are missing from the list of drop rates for the titans. How common are they?

Have asked the team to add these to the newspost but it's:
- 1 in 25 for a Hard Clue
- 1 in 100 for an Elite Clue
- Both of these are agnostic of Contribution

You are not missing anything because they don't! We were working on the first change (coming soon) and had an older ticket for the change implemented today - they are separate changes. The 'use items on ring' change will be dropping in a future update.

It seems something with this update has broken MTA a bit. Last night I was enchanting dragonstones no problem. This morning I cannot enchant them and am given a message “This spell can only be cast on dragonstone amulets rings necklaces and bracelets and on shapes in the Mage Training Arena.

Looking for the bug report button now but figured I’d give you a heads up!

Have passed this one on to the team!

Any clarification on the titans range defense?

Will aim to share more detail next week in the newspost, but most people have ascertained that the Defence is treated as drastically lower if a Titan has walked out of Melee range

Can you roll for the pet if you're only looting for pages from the titans?

Yeah!

Confused on the point of nerfing veracs at nex. Killing the only actual use since original venanatis. Was this really being abused there that heavily?

Just completely not intended behaviour that was introduced accidentally, it's circumventing a core part of Nex's minions' combat code. There's giving Verac's a use and then there's 'an organised group can roll for Nex uniques in a handful of game ticks over and over'

Do we know when combat tasks for the royal titans are likely to be out? I want to try the content but need points for the medium hilt so I'd rather wait for the tasks to be released before I try the bosses.

Next week!

It's intended behaviour that we're open to adjusting, thanks to QA for making sure the staff works as intended!

Pretty solid in maingame too for a chill second-screener if you're more interested in XP than banking Karams

But why? Seems like it should be a toggle because now you have to grab the ring to use charges THEN bank again to grab more alchs.

Will ask the team if it's possible to toggle it! I'd always suspected most of its use came from scenarios where you couldn't otherwise alch (long GWD trips on Arceuus/Ancients, Barrage tasks etc.) and that not many people used their daily limit while also being on Standards in the first place.

Asking the team to see whether or not this can be adjusted, I think some Coll Log stuff is checked on login so might be being unequipped in case the thresholds for a rank have changed since your last logout, so unequips just to be safe that you can't flex without the numbers to back it up!

EDIT: We believe we've found a way to adjust this safely that should still unequip if you've fallen south of the dynamic threshold at the top end, it should no longer auto-unequip on every login. Safety first, iteration second!

My understanding was that, if using alchemy through the ring's 'Alchemy' option while having runes in your inventory, it would use the runes in your inventory instead of charges. Using ring while on the standard spellbook and it uses charges even though I have the runes. Perhaps I misunderstood the update though.

Ah that'll do it. So the old behaviour meant casting High Alchemy from your spellbook would prioritise Ring charges over runes. Today's update means casting High Alchemy will use Runes first, then Ring charges

Explorers ring update doesn't work with ring 4. Not sure about the others

Tested myself and it definitely does, what's your understanding of the change and what do you believe is wrong? Hopefully can shed some light for you!

So, no update on the 700 ranged defence thats clearly not the case?

Will see if we can provide more info next week, but think most folks have figured out that the number is treated as considerably lower once either of the Titans have moved away from Melee range

The Karambwan fishing spawn at DKP on world 334 has dissapeared just FYI.

EDIT: The Karambwans have returned!

This subreddit needs to set up a bot that auto-replies to these - it takes some time after an update for the spots to all arrive at that tile again, this happens every update both for Karambwan and the less commonly-used but still very solid Fly fishing spot south of the Prifddinas gates

My only negative feedback on the titans is that the attack delay mechanic kinda hurts the twinflame staff.

First, the fact that it's 6 tick means only getting 3 ticks reduced on your next attack when killing all 3 minions leaves you with a pretty noticeable delay in dps, and even worse if you can only hit 2 because the 3rd is split off by a wall.

Second, if you kill the minions with the 'echo' damage (E.G. by using blast instead of wave spells) you don't get any attack delay reduction at all, pretty feelsbad.

The second point in particular is something I'll be raising with the team. The first is 50/50 in my eyes, it's a slower weapon but speeding it up means it gets crazy good in a lot of places - not keen to adjust the weapon itself because we believe it sits in a pretty good spot. The wall pathfinding thing applies to all weapons - keep your arena clear! You can even do it between hits!

In next week's newspost, though I imagine the Wiki is close nough at this point for you to get a good read.

Does this mean I can just bring the alch runes, while being on ancients, and it will use those runes instead of the daily charges?

No, because you can't click the High Alchemy icon to cast the spell if you're not on the Standard Spellbook.
