Like the Golden Party Hat and Cape Hunt Events, you'll set out to collect 8 shards by completing various tasks. Doing so will earn you the Vorkath Death Guard and Lantern overrides and some sweet gameplay buffs! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38802315/62ae3733d1996c7beefc5667f672f6414f79d133.png Infinite Porters: Provides a guaranteed 'porter' effect (which transports valid items to the Bank when gathered) while the buff is active.Passive Regeneration Buff: Your life points, prayer points and summoning points regenerate by 10% every 6 seconds while you're outside of combat. Buffs can be enabled or disabled by Mr Mordaut (or Mordaut Jr) at Fort Forinthry any time after you’ve completed the hunt. The buffs are available to use for 14 days once you complete the Hunt - disabling the buff will not stop the 14-day timer that begins once you earn the buffs. Despite the name, you don't need to fight Vorkath to complete the hunt - but it definitely helps! Here are the 12 tasks you can complete for shards: Kill Vorkath & Zemouregal (infinitely repeatable until all shards have been collected).Can be completed during the Battle of Forinthry quest as well as in Story, Normal and Hard mode.First shard is given after one kill , subsequent shards require 30 kills.Complete the Dead and Buried quest (given on login if complete before event starts).Have an active Premier Membership and log in (given on login if active as the event starts).Train Gathering skills.

This time around, we’ve enabled combining Brawling Gloves of the same type, pumped up the power of the 'Feeling Pumped’ Mutator and rebalanced the cost of Slayer masks in Shattered Worlds. We've also had the team sleuthing out the mechanics of Golden Bamboo: the introduction of the Grove updated the backend systems of Woodcutting, which meant players might encounter discrepancies, depending on the boosts and setup used. We’re pleased to say we’ve now been able to restore the flow of bamboo, so grab your axes! We've also made improvements to Clue-solving flows, among other changes - check out the Patch Notes below for a full list. This is the first strike of the month, but hopefully not the last. We’re aiming to bring you another strike later in November, so stay tuned! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38802315/a1d43cac29156477d8b8b603c914d995cff3c7e0.png Whether we’re battling cows in Lumbridge, the undead hordes outside Fort Forinthry, or the next big boss on the scene, combat is a core pillar of RuneScape for many of us. But with the launch of Necromancy, older combat styles like Melee, Magic and Range have started to show their age. So, we've been considering new ways to enhance the old combat styles you know and love. From today’s update you’ll be able to access our new Combat Beta! For the next several weeks you'll have the chance to get hands-on with some potential changes to various combat styles - and let us know what you think. We outlined the core changes in a recent blog: Check out some of the proposed changes:Enable 'Damage Potential' for all combat styles for the player:This is the removal of hit chance and instead, a damage scaler based on % chance to hit (e.g. 50% = do 50% of your damage instead of having a 50% chance to miss).Increase the 'Damage cap' for all combat styles (from 10,000/12,000 to 30,000).Implement a simplified Critical Strike system for all combat styles:Each style will have a % chance to critically strike. When you do land a critical strike, your damage is increased by your critical strike damage % - which increases with your level.Critical Strike chance: 10% by default for all styles, although this could change based on Beta feedback.Critical Strike damage: Same formula as Necromancy for all styles, but again, this could change based on Beta feedback (e.g. Melee could have 100% Critical Strike damage).Note: Melee uses the 'Strength' stat for this. As the Beta proceeds, we’ll look to include other changes to combat styles, and refine the identity of each style. Together we can work towards modernizing the feel and flow of combat! Ready to give the Beta a try? Check out the main site for further instructions Once you’ve given the cha...Combat Refinement & Off-Duty Outfits! - This Week In RuneScapeOct 23, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsNecromancy combat refinement continues, plus a novel pre-order and a stylish new outfit override - you really can choose books and looks! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38802315/241c634dc0aa78fb90eb0c8af91410ec0f4ae475.png Since its release, Necromancy has proved to be an extremely adaptable and versatile skill. We've really enjoyed seeing how you use it in different combat encounters, and watching you unlock its full potential! Now, though, there are some concerns that it's a bit too ahead of the other skills for the overall balance of the game. Today, we're starting to make some refinements that will reduce the gap between the strengths of Necromancy and those of other combat styles. Over the coming weeks, we aim to bring the other styles up to modern standards of feel and pace. From October 30th, you'll be able to participate in a new Combat Beta so you can try out the new approach and help us refine it with our feedback. Check out our recent blog on the topic for more information, and see the Patch Notes section for a list of today's changes! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38802315/3231efb4e0379cc2da91fdfd6f90fb911ba187b4.png Tired after a long day of defending Gielinor from all manner of threats?

Asgarnia’s fate hangs in the balance. Disparate tribes unite under the banner of Lord Raddalin, and his enemies look on in fear and hatred. Raddalin’s advisors – an uneasy alliance of Black and White knights – whisper of a discovery in the North that will give them the power to change everything. Caught in the midst of history, a lowly scribe and the son of a Jarl hold the fate of Raddalin’s new kingdom in their hands. From the glorious inauguration of King Raddalin’s reign to the disgraceful expulsion of the Zamorakians from Asgarnia, The Gift of Guthix tells an epic tale of the origin of magic, the plight of civil war, and the crushing defeat of the Fremennik Great Invasion. Amongst plots and betrayals, a penitent turncoat waits for her moment to leap into the unknown... The novel will be penned by Erin M. Evans, the author of seven Forgotten Realms novels for Wizards of the Coast, including the 2011 Scribe Award winner Brimstone Angels.
