Hope

Good Morning, Zaros! Today's update features a limited time holiday event, changes to tombs of amascut, and an array of changes/fixes. Have a read through the notes and let us know what you think! Holiday Events: The holiday is upon us! Santa has sent his Squire into town to hand out presents to the citizens of Zaros, but he has to wrap them first! Gather wrapping paper by participating in skilling, pvm, minigames, and the town board and trade them to Santa's Squire in exchange for presents. 200 wrapping paper is required per present Christmas Present Contents: Limited time Purple and Inverted Purple Santa Hat. Similar to the green ones handed out last year, these will not be easily obtainable after this event ends. Resources, coins, bonus scrolls, bonus xp, instance tokens, crystal keys, and slayer task skip scrolls. Coal Wrapping paper will continue to drop until January 3rd, 2023 at 12pm UTC Using any third party software to keep your account online and actively training in order to receive wrapping paper will result in immediate punishment. Players may gather snow from piles near Santa's Squire and throw them at fellow players. Random Drop Parties will be hosted throughout the end of year containing other new and old holiday items such as the snowman ring, festive elf hat/slippers, and gingerbread shields. Tombs of Amascut: Fixed Osmumten's fang special attack not rolling accuracy twice. Osmumten's fang (or) is no longer tradeable. Akkha: Can no longer place mirrors on top of each other. Fixed the detonate attack dealing multiple hits per impact. Special attacks should no longer occur back to back and instead be unique from the last. Will no longer perform special attacks when entering the final stand phase. BaBa: Rubble should no longer be spammed under rare occasions. Fixed a safespot caused by incorrect boulder locations. Zebak: Fixed poison splats sometimes overlapping each other causing "invisible poison" on the ground. Tweaked the chaos supply category and the effects dehydration had on giving ambrosia, tears, and smelling salts. Added two new achievements: ELITE - Complete the Tombs of Amascut 25 times with a raid level of 150 or higher MASTER - Complete the Tombs of amascut with a raid level of 550 or higher without any deaths (from anyone on the team) Base bonus point boost has been reduced from 40% to 35% Town Board Unlock (level 115) - Grants a 10% bonus points CoX and ToB unlocks have been each moved up 5 levels.

Mobile: More information will be available soon on the return of the mobile android client. Keep an eye on discord!

Moved to correct section

I see OSRS updated it recently. Will get it changed!

Old pets you have obtained in the past and have chosen to not insure with the old system need to be insured. Pets you gain from this update going forward are auto-insured.

If you had a pet prior to the update and did not insure it, you will need to use the pet on probita and it will automatically insure for free. Any future pets you receive will automatically insure.

Good Morning, Zaros! Today's update introduces the long-awaited Raids III : Tombs of Amascut. Before diving in, have a read over our patch notes listed and let us know what you think! Tombs of Amascut: Teleport available in the "Minigames" section of the teleporter. No prerequisites to start a raid. Overview: Throughout development, we've striven to keep all mechanics 1:1 with Oldschool Runescape. Players may use similar tactics described in videos and guides to complete the raid. Invocations, scaling, and path levels all function correctly and will greatly change the difficulty and mechanics of the raid. This activity is unsafe for hardcore ironmen. Drop Rates/Points: Drop rates for unique item rates, pet rates, and common reward quantity use a "point" system. In simple terms, this functions similar to CoX in that the more points you rack up the better chance you have for rewards. Points earned on Zaros are boosted by a base amount of 40%. Players will have opportunities in future updates to further boost points earned through the town board and scrolls in the voting store. If you're a math savvy player and would like to read more about the point system, you can visit this in-depth article written by Jagex. There is also a loot calculator on the OSRS Wiki (note: this shows OSRS rates) Drop rates for keris jewels and thread of elidinis are not based on the point system. Because of this, we have reduced their rates by 50% (compared to OSRS) We encourage players to have a quick read over this article on loot mechanics. This breaks down weightings for unique items, tertiary rewards, and raid prerequisites for rolling untradeables like pet metamorphs and ornamental kits. New Items/Rewards: Tumeken's Shadow Two-handed powered staff. Passive effect in which the player's magic attack bonus and magic damage are multiplied by three from the player's worn equipment (four within the Tombs of Amascut); the magic damage increase from this is capped at a total of 100% Magic Strength. Masori Equipment New best-in-slot range gear surpassing Armadyl armour for attack bonuses. can also be upgraded into a fortified variant with Armadyl plates, increasing the Defence level required to equip it to 80, offering increased defensive bonuses and a +1 prayer bonus, which in turn makes it surpass Armadyl armour's defensive bonuses Elidinis' Ward The ward can be fortified by attaching an arcane sigil to the ward, creating a fortified variant; doing so requires level 90 Prayer, 90 Smithing, and 10,000 soul runes, granting 260 experience in both skills in the process. Players cannot pay Abbot Langley to restore the ward, though he can remove the sigil from an arcane spirit shield. Osmumten's fang The fang has two unique passive effects which aim to make it effective against targets with high Defence levels and more consistent overall: re-rolling accuracy on an unsuccessful hit and making damage rolls closer to the average. The special combat mechanics are described in more detail below. Lightbearer Having no requirements to wear, the ring regenerates the player's special attack energy twice as fast at 15 seconds per 10%, or 150 seconds per 100%. Equipping or unequipping the ring will cause the special attack energy restoration timer to reset. Thread of Elidinis Can be used on a rune pouch to create a divine rune pouch, which can store four types of runes instead of three. Keris Jewels Breach of the scarab Eye of the corruptor Jewel of the sun Tumeken's Guardian (pet) 89 Rating A pet perk will be added on the following update after the pet rarity is determined. There are also 5 untradeable items dropped from the raid that further metamorph the pet. Read more about them and their requirements here. Cursed phalanx Ornament kit that can be used on Osmumten's fang. In order to receive one, players must complete a raid at level 500+ with zero deaths for all party members. Menaphite ornament kit Ornament kit that can be used on Elidinis' ward(f). In order to receive one, players must complete a raid at level 425+ with zero deaths for all party members. Masori crafting kit Ornament kit that can be used on Ava's assembler. In order to receive one, players must complete a raid at level 350+ with zero deaths for all party members.

Other Changes/Fixes: The keris partisan can be obtained from the slayer rewards store for 150 points. Spirit shields can now be dismantled by speaking to Abbot Langley in the Edgeville Monastary.

Note: You must have less than 50 run energy for this to happen. Zebak: Blood clouds will no longer spawn during a special attack. Implemented new spawn mechanics for poison pools during the roar attack. This will ensure poison is always around boulders and ensure jugs always have a path to remove poison. Boulders can no longer spawn on the same y-axis. If poison lands on you, the hit will now only be "2" prior to further higher damage being dealt. Reduced damage amount for blood barrage attack. Warden (challenge): The ejected core will no longer be outside of the fight area Warden can no longer be frozen. Warden (boss): Fixed players not being able to move after coming back to the boss after a team wipe. Keris partisan of the sun now works on energy siphons.

The masori crafting kit can now be directly used on an assembler max cape. Killcounts are now displayed in the collection log. Fixed adrenaline and salt potion timers. Added animation preloading. This will hopefully reduce lag while in the raid. Honey locusts given on team wipe will now be dropped to the ground if your inventory is full. Made revisions to supply categories. You will now receive a warning prior to entering a room if you have unclaimed supplies from the helpful spirit. Added the resupply option to the supplies sack. Osmumten's fang will now deal full damage to corporeal beast. Purple sweets can no longer be used in the raid with the "on a diet" invocation.

Fixed not being able to withdraw certain items from the POH costume storage. Fixed interaction options for Aubury in varrock. You can now use uninsured pets on Probita to insure them for free.

After weeks of planning, development, and testing we're finally proud to announce the release of Raids III : Tombs of Amascut! This update will drop on Saturday, November 26th at 1PM UTC. Quick Overview: Throughout development, we've striven to keep all mechanics 1:1 with Oldschool Runescape. Players may use similar tactics described in videos and guides to successfully complete it. Invocations, scaling, and path levels all function correctly and will greatly change the difficulty and mechanics of the raid. As usual, drop rates will be boosted in comparison to OSRS. More information will be posted on release day. Release Competition: We've got tons of prizes up for grabs! There is no restriction to how many prizes an individual player may win. All cash prizes can be claimed as Zaros Credits instead. First player to get Tumeken's Guardian (pet) $100 or $150 Zaros Credits First Hardcore/Elite Hardcore Ironman to achieve 25 Solo Regular (or Expert) mode completions $100 or $150 Zaros Credits First player to get Tumeken's Shadow $100 or $150 Zaros Credits First player to obtain all three keris jewels $100 or $150 Zaros Credits Best solo challenge time after 30 days for entry, regular, and expert mode $50 per mode Take a screenshot of your collection log/ToA killcount and message "Hope#4103" on discord to claim your prize. FAQ: How do I obtain the Keris Partisan? While normally obtained from the quest on OSRS, the keris is instead available for purchase in the slayer reward shop. Can I dismantle my spirit shields (to use the sigil on elidinis' ward)? Yes, spirit shields can now be dismantled by speaking to Abbot Langley in the Edgeville Monastary. What will the drop rates be? More information will be posted on release day. Will bonus scrolls or town perks be added? Not initially on release, but in the next content update after the competition has ended bonus scrolls will be added to the voting store and a town perk will be added. Is Tombs of Amascut safe for hardcore ironmen? No! Any death will result in your hardcore status being removed. Miscellaneous Media

I don't think many would appreciate losing some of the current perks and them being replaced with different ones. But also to back my original answer, yes, the system is already really generous for being f2p and low effort, alongside all the other boosts offered in the game.

After 30 days your old username will become available, just like in OSRS.

Happy Friday, Zaros! Today's update brings a more challenging version of Zulrah, new speed records to compete for, and a bunch of bug fixes and QOL changes. Have a read over the notes and let us know what you think! Speed Records: Previously, speed records were recorded in-game per world and were only available for a handful of bosses and activities. We've decided to expand this system above and beyond what OSRS offers. Speed records can now be attempted for the following bosses/activities: Zulrah (normal and hard), Vorkath, Grotesque Guardians, Alchemical Hydra, Zalcano, Inferno (waves 1-69 and waves 67-69), Nightmare (regular and phosani), Skotizo, Fight Caves (jad), Mimic, Hespori, Vanstrom Klause, Fragment of Seren, Xamphur (normal and hard), Judge of Yama, Gauntlet (normal and corrupted), Hallowed Sepulchre (floors 1-5), Ket-Rak's Challenges (1-6), Tempoross, and Nex. Aside from improving your personal records, the game will now broadcast if you have beaten a global speed record. These broadcasts will now also be broadcasted on discord. All personal speed records have been wiped clean. Global speed records for all activities except chambers of xeric and theatre of blood have been wiped clean. You can now view your own speed records through the command ::speed or ::speedrecords We will work on adding global speed records for each boss/activity to the website highscores in the future. In the meantime, global records for all bosses can be viewed with the command ::globalspeed or ::globalspeedrecords Zulrah Hard Mode: Combat level increased to 906 (previously 725) Hitpoints increased to 625 (previously 500) Immune to bleed damage, recoil damage, and vengeance Attack speed increased to 2 ticks (previously 3) Mechanics: New Zulrah Form: Toxic In this form, Zulrah starts out attacking with range and will switch styles each time after spawning a snakeling. Snakelings spawned by this form are immune to recoil damage and will heal zulrah for the amount of damage they deal to you. Make sure you get rid of them quickly! This form has been inserted two times (one near the start and one right before jad phases) into all four rotations. Players will still be able to recognize which rotation they are on based on patterns from normal mode. Poison clouds deal more damage and will heal zulrah for the same amount of damage dealt to you. They last 12 ticks instead of the normal 18 ticks since Zulrah's attack speed is sped up. Unless killed by recoil or other damage, the Snakelings spawned will last for 60 seconds instead of the normal 40 seconds. Pillars have been removed from the map, there are no longer any safe spots. Rewards: Buffed loot table Increased quantities Removed junk items Added new resources and alchables Improved rates for unique/tertiary items/pet Toxic Dust Use this on your pet snakeling to unlock a new variant to metamorph into Bingo #3: Based on the poll results from last month, Bingo will now be held once per month starting on the 1st of each month and lasting three weeks. The next upcoming bingo will start on September 1st at 12:00 UTC. Minigames: Chambers of Xeric: From popular request, you can now rearrange items within private storage chests Theatre of Blood: Fixed verzik vitur sometimes being able to attack thralls Added missing dwarf weed to the common loot table Verzik p2 - Increased the distance for lightning ball to 8 tiles (from 7). This means it will now search up to 8 tiles away from you to find a teammate to travel towards. Tempoross: Fixed not getting 25 soaked pages from receiving a duplicate fish barrel after having crafted a fish sack barrel. Bosses/Monsters: Xamphur: Fixed safespots caused by the "your fate is in my hands" special attack Reduced health of challenge mode to 900 hitpoints (previously 1250) Increased frequency of special attacks in challenge mode Removed consecration seed from moss giant table Incoming damage to venenatis will now be capped to 8 when she is inside a single-way area Fixed corp basher being able to be used while the corporeal beast is respawning Fixed drop table for kurasks in the iorwerth dungeon Corrected drop rates for the ancient ceremonial set Kalphite queen now drops super combat potions (2) Skills: Prayer: You can now utilize 1-tick prayer offering on POH altars Magic: Fixed rune requirements for arceuus teleport spells Mining: Halved respawn times for rocks in the mining guild Slayer: Added slayer unlock for "I wildy more slayer", allowing players to toggle off the recently added new NPCs in the wilderness slayer cave. Superior slayer monsters will now always drop larran's key inside the wilderness slayer cave. Fixed the task-only smoke devil area not being multi-combat. Items: Golden secateurs now work when pruning growthlings at byrophyta and harvesting the herbiboar Fixed dragonstone armour, eternal amulet of glory, and DFH from pyre ships not being added to the collection log when received. The ardougne max cape now carries effects from the ardounge diary cape(s) Fixed the town board not tracking extra logs received from kandarin headgear Increased maximum charge on doomsayer's book of the dead from 1,000 to 10,000 The ring of wealth will now automatically pick up wilderness slayer caskets Other Changes/Fixes: Wilderness Slayer Cave: Fixed new supply items not dropping from monsters on the north half of the area Fixed certain wilderness teleports not working correctly Fixed the hosidius mess (hard) stash unit Added new death messages for hardcore ironmen. Hardcore deaths are now also broadcasted on discord The nexling perk can no longer be charged up via combat dummies Added a terror dog room in tarn's lair for those wishing to kill them without having to fight the boss. Simply use the same door as you would to fight tarn and select "Terror Dogs". Brightened secondary colors on the new Group Ironman icons to make them more distinguishable Improved message format when opening mystery boxes. You can now distinguish the rewards you receive from examine messages when clicking the available items. Corrected drop rates for basilisk and cockatrice heads. These rates will also now be modified by your drop rate bonus.

Great suggestion! Will see what I can come up with.

You can examine each item already to view a 90-day average price (if available). Having trading post history in-game for each item is not that feasible (a lot of data)

It's not meant to be a constant flow source for ores.

Maybe something to include on the next poll

I have removed the consecration seed from their drop table. As for suggestions, they can be posted over at https://forum.zaros.io/forum/19-suggestions/
