Letters to & from the Mortals
I am reporting new news for Septmeber: There are reports of strange happenings in the desert south west of Shanty pass, animals have been disappearing and a large hole has appeared. Scouts were sent in to investigate, but as of yet none have returned... Will you fare any better against what lies beneath the sand? Test your mettle if you will, but beware, whatever crawls in the tunnels below is fierce and more than a match for even the toughest of adventurers!" Deep under the sand, hidden from the burning heat of the desert, grows the Potato Cactus. A strange plant with some magical properties, it's rumored that when mixed with Lantadyme and water, it produces a potion which will increase the drinkers magical powers..." I'll warn you right now, there will be people out there who will massively overcharge for the potion. Don't be taken in by their tomfoolery! "Last night we saw a record 53,000 simultaneous players! This is great news, because more players means we can afford to do bigger updates, and also means we can afford to buy more servers and bandwidth. To make sure there is always enough space for everyone who wants to play we have just put another 4 worlds online. 3 of them are free worlds, and 1 of them is members only. These worlds are located in Atlanta, and are our first servers in that part of the US. Enjoy the extra space! Andrew" "In Jungle Potion, the Shaman Trufitus communed with the gods to determine the fate of his people. Now Timfraku, the Chief of Tai Bwo Wannai, wishes to see his people and family return to the abandoned village. Help a depressed fisherman, encourage a raging hunter and satiate an eccentric priest in this extreme test of aptitude and patience! If you believe you are up to the challenge, travel to Karamja and speak with Timfraku to begin your quest to repopulate Tai Bwo Wannai." "Today sees the release of the fourth part of our ongoing Members' Quest. King Lathas has had the wizards hard at work, and has at last reopened the well of voyage. He will soon be sending messengers out to all who have bested Iban. You'll be asked to travel to new lands, to destroy Lathas's brother. Dare you face the new realm that he will send you to, and what awaits you there in our new Regicide Quest?" "They say that good things come in threes - so it is no surprise that today's website update is three updates in one! 1) Updated Worldmap We have updated our map of the RuneScape world to include the new areas from our most recent quest updates. 2) Game Screen Navigation Bar We have added a navigation bar above the game window to provide quick access to useful links such as the worldmap, manual and main menu. 3) New Newsletter Followers of the floating skull will be ecstatic to know that our favourite nature deity Guthix has returned again to spread some of his strangely worded wisdom in Newsletter 24 - Guthix ponders. Those curious to know what message Guthix has brought with him this time should head immediately to the Library of Varrock." Skill Guides Given the popularity of our recent quest journals update, we've now also introduced quick levelup guides for the various skills. Clicking on a skill in your stats menu will now bring up a table of the various advancements you have available to you at each level. We hope these will give you a quick way to check what you are working towards whilst playing. Repeatable Skills We've now improved the controls for various skills in the game. Where before you may have had to tell your character to make various items one at a time, many interfaces now include right-click options that allow you to produce whole batches without wearing your fingers away. You can then watch your character make the items, as you already do when smithing bars. There are now "make five", "make ten" and "make x" right-click options on the following; * Spinning wheels * Glass making * Leather crafting * Pottery wheels * Silver crafting * Fletching Furnaces now have an option to left-click on them, which brings up an interface for you to select the quantity and type of ore you wish to smelt. Duel Arena Scoreboard Examining the scoreboard at the front of the duel arena now shows the results of the last 50 duels on that server. Kalphite Queen New Attack The Kalphite queen has added a new attack to her arsenal. This ferocious creature was only ever intended to be killable by teams of players, thus keeping the dragon chain as a very rare and valuable item, and encouraging people to work together. However, some players were starting to find methods to take her down single handed, so the queen has evolved a new ranged attack; barbed spines, which she may launch at her victims."
