Good morning, Zaros!
 
Today's update features a variety of changes/improvements to the wilderness. We hope these will incentivize more players to utilize training and farming methods within the area and increase overall activity. As always, please have a read through the update notes and let us know what you think in the comments below!
 
Wilderness/PvP:
  • New dragonite mining rocks (see below in mining section)
  • The muddy chest at the center of the lava maze has received a buff in loot. It now grants miscellaneous runes, gems, coins, and supplies in decent amounts.
  • Ancient caskets have been removed from the game. Below you'll find a variety of new activities/changes that replace them.
  • Revenant Caves:
    • Are now singles-plus. This means that you cannot box a revenant in order to prevent getting attacked by another player. Other players will instantly be allowed to attack you at any point unless you are already in combat with a different player.
    • Increased the amount of revenants spawned throughout the caves.
    • Revenant Maledictus:
      • A new superior variant of revenants. Maledictus can be spawned randomly by killing any revenant within the caves, with spawn chances increasing as more and more are killed. Features fail-safe measures that will guarantee a spawn if it has not appeared for a significant amount of time and also prevents additional maledictus from appearing during or immediately after it is killed.
      • Can be attacked by all players and equally attack multiple players at once in the area.
      • Rewards:
        • Top damager will receive a guaranteed ancient totem or ancient emblem
        • Top 3 damagers will roll the revenant dragon drop table 5 times
        • Top 4-10 damagers will roll the revenant dragon drop table 3 times
  • Wilderness Clue Scrolls:
    • New custom set of clue scrolls with tasks solely within the wilderness.
    • How are they obtained?
      • Bosses and monsters in the wilderness that previously dropped a clue scroll now exclusively drop wilderness clue scrolls
      • Larran's Chests
      • Rogues Chests
      • Wilderness Keys
      • Skilling activities such as woodcutting, fishing, or mining in the wilderness will yield a wilderness nest, bottle, or geode respectively. Some good ways to farm these include:
        • Skilling in the resource arena
        • Fishing lava eels and dark crabs
    • Consist of the following types:
      • Emote Clues - 7
      • Coordinate Clues - 7
      • PvM Clues - 7
        • New custom type of clue that requires players to kill the required monster a few times in order to progress to the next step. Specifically, the chance to progress towards the next step is 1/3 on each kill.
    • All wilderness clues have been added to the Runelite clue plugin to help you complete them faster.
    • All wilderness clues can be placed within the clue scroll sack.
    • Dr. Clue will not auto-complete wilderness clue scrolls.
    • Rewards:
      • Features an enhanced version of the hard clue table
      • Increased quantities of rune alchables
      • Dragon alchables
      • Mystic gear
      • Corrupted armor
  • Wilderness Keys:
    • Ironmen will no longer receive slayer points upon completing a wilderness key. Instead, they will receive two drops from a revised drop table similar to the regular one with reduced quantities, blighted variants of consumables, and excluding most gear/weaponry. Some examples of loot on this table include:
      • Blighted food, spells, and potions
      • Alchables
      • Miscellaneous resources
      • PvP weapons
      • Barrows armor
    • Added a toggle-able warning when digging at a wilderness key location (warning you that a pk skull will be given)
  • Untradeable Item Deaths:
    • When dying to a player above level 20 wilderness, certain untradeable items will no longer be deleted but will instead be converted into a broken state, requiring you to pay a visit to Perdu in Edgeville to repair it. This is only a slight change to how OSRS functions but ensures you don't completely lose hard-earned untradeable items in the deep wilderness.
    • In the event of one of your items breaking, 75% of the repair cost in coin value will be awarded to the player that killed you.
    • Because of this change, there is no longer a need for trouver parchments. They have been removed from drop tables, last man standing, and the blood money shop.
