To appease those frustrated with the Rare Item Token update, is it possible to add the "random rare" option at a 20% discounted oddment rate as they were in the rare items token store for those tokens? The conversion rate to new cost is the exact same as it was before the update. The only issue people have is the inability to buy previous rare item token items that have been removed, and choosing a random item for a lower price.

We're looking into both of these things based on this morning's feedback.

Yes, the prices in the Oddments store is EXACTLY the issue. I'd been saving up my Rare Item Tokens until I had enough to buy out all of the Current Rares and New Rares (I already owned all the Limited Rares) using the random option which gives a 20% discount. The day I hit that number (I was about 2000 off) I was going to spend all my Rare Item Tokens. Now, not only am I unable to purchase the Current Rares until they are added, I've lost the 20% discount from using the random option.

We'll pass that feedback to the team as well - hold onto those Oddments for now as we're bringing back the other Rare Items in as soon as it's possible based on this morning's feedback. We'll see if the random discount option is likely to be included in that.

The problem is the absolute lack of heads up. What if people were on the fence before on the older rare item rewards. I avoided buying some I didn’t like because I was hoping for new rares. However if you had told us the removal and conversion rate I would have spent every token I could. It’s already extremely annoying to buy useful items from the oddment shop since you added the daily limit.

Based on some of the feedback this morning, the team is going to get the other items from the Rare Item Token shop into the Oddments Store.

We don't have an ETA to share right now until it's all figured out, but we'll let you know when we can lock a date.

Isn't the conversion of rare tokens to oddments sort of pathetic? Although some players might've accrued a lot rare tokens they've typically been given in rather small quantities and would take a long time to get any reasonable amount

As a bit of added context, the ratio of 10:1 also applies to the Rare Items Oddments pricing - so something that was 7k Rare Item Tokens will now be 700 Oddments.

The benefit of the centralisation is you can now choose to chase Rare Items with your Oddments (and get them from more sources) or not, rather than getting a currency that may or may not be of interest for you.

We'll be monitoring your feedback as always, but hopefully that provides some insight to the ratio.

Thanks for reporting this - we've seen the reports and we're looking into it.

Is this after the new client update that just went out? As of about 20 minutes ago.

Hello Scapers,

We've released another warmfix that fixes additional crashes reported this week. You'll automatically receive the update upon next login on all desktop clients.

As with the warmfix earlier this week, this will be deployed to Mobile once the build is through the Store processes. We'll update this post when released.

If you are still experiencing any crashes, please do let us know in the comments below as we continue investigating any reports.

Thanks again for your patience and have a great weekend!

Any updates on freezes/crashes for Intel gpu users?

Nothing tangible yet I'm afraid - it's very much still on the radar though. Thanks for bearing with us as we look into it.

If it's okay, we may DM you shortly to ask for more information as we support the investigation for the team.

I seem to recall this being something that was (meant to be) temporarily turned on to tackle some spamming shortly after I joined, but obviously it never got removed. I've passed a note to the team for us to remove the term from the filter.

Don't forget that there is also a crash when entering the dinosaur farm that not only crashes your client, but somehow also destroys the coding for the NXT so that the game immediately crashes on the login screen. There are also static graphics issues all over the game--in Al Kharid, the tree graphics are completely broken, for instance.

Make sure you look at all the issues that are happening and don't assume just yet that everything has been fixed.

We're still looking at other reports and gathering information - we'll make sure this is passed on also! This update came as the biggest priority as both were the main cause of crash reports and reports we saw online by quite some margin.

Any plans for the crash that sometimes occurs when you use the tree to tele from POF to ranch?

We're grabbing any reports we see to pass to the team. We'll keep you updated with any further progress!

We're going to mention Ironman specifics more in future News Posts (as we should) so we'll take this into account too. Thanks for the feedback.

As a question, since we're doubling down on the level of detail we're looking to add into our posts..

Ideally, if we listed rewards, would you want us to call out any that are not earnable by Ironman players even if it's traditionally obvious (ie. XP Lamp) just to be extra sure?

We've released a new warmfix to address the most commonly occuring crashes coming from 007 Penguins and Castle Wars. More info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/l1f8nt/warmfix_for_crash_issues_20012021/

Hi all,

We've released a warmfix that solves crash issues when playing Penguin Hide & Seek and Castle Wars, which account for the vast majority of recently tracked / reported crashes. You'll automatically receive the update upon next login on all desktop clients.

This will also be deployed to Mobile once the build is through the Store processes. We'll update this post when released.

If you've reported crashes outside of these scenarios, our team have been gathering information throughout today and asking for repro steps - feel free to drop me a DM with any info if you are still impacted and we'll pass those along too.

Thanks for your patience!

Played both Vinesweeper and Brimhaven Agility Arena. Neither gave double. (I started Brimhaven Agility Arena, and got the '30 tags in a row' achievement finally. I left, and had definitely not earned anything close to 60 tickets.)

Thanks for reporting this, we'll check in with the team tomorrow. We've captured a couple other reports in this thread to pass along also and we'll be back with more info as soon as we have it.

Jagex is incompetent. As I write this, 1h+ into the update, the +50% slayer exp buff from the previous week is still active lol...

This is a quirk of the way the Celebration of Combat bonus works vs the others - it resets based on the day whereas the rest are Update to Update.

That's why it started 12 hours earlier on Monday and will last throughout today. We decided to leave it running as is.

Thanks for all the feedback here. You are all absolutely right that the information we bring to you is vital and we're going to get on top of this. We have to do better around how we communicate event bonuses and modifiers. You can hold us to that. As to what we'll do out of the starting blocks:

  • Moving forward, we're going to include extra detail in the post around events - either in Game News or the Patch Notes - to make sure there's clear specificity. We generally do this, but not in all cases. In this case, that was especially needed given there were some exceptions.
  • The Ironman change should have been reflected in the Patch Notes. For future events, we'll work with the team to ensure that we note anything that does not apply to Ironman players where we can.
  • We'll pass your report on Minigame currency not being doubled to the team - the intent is a straight doubling of rewards.

(As an added note, just while we're mentioning Iron...
