It's the most wonderful time of the year! Gielinor has gone all festive for the Christmas 2025 Event!

•Group Irons can now use facilities on their group members' ships regardless of whether or not they've built that facility themselves, so long as they have the Sailing level required.
•The Bonecrusher and Bonecrusher Necklace now work for any Sailing creatures who drop bones.
•Resetting the Gwenith Glide trial while going through a teleport portal will no longer break the trial.
•When quick-transporting your boat - for example by recovering via a shipwright or using a boat spell - players will now only lose Port Task cargo, Bounty items, salvage and fish from their Cargo Hold. Anything else will be kept and accessible once your ship is recovered.
•The Cargo Hold will no longer delete your diving apparatus or crowbar until you have the requirements to retrieve the item again.
•Cargo crates are now confiscated immediately when you teleport while carrying them.
•The Collection Log now updates correctly when receiving Dragon Cannonballs from sorting Opulent Salvage.
•The "Start the boat when setting a heading" option now works more reliably for players whose crewmates were already controlling the helm when they boarded the boat.
•Gull and Soup will no longer consume entire stacks of Karambwanji when fed. Their hunger is sated, for now...
•Added an option to disable teleport warnings while on a boat: If you attempt to teleport while you're on a boat, you'll be given options to cancel it, proceed with it or proceed with it and not ask again. If you choose the latter, you'll no longer receive teleport warning while on a boat.
•If you wish to, you can re-enable this via the Settings Menu, which you can find under Warnings → Sailing Warnings.
•Fixed an animation glitch that occurs when metamorphing Gull or Gulliver during the emote.
•Non-alchable items can no longer be fed to the Giant Clam.
•The following Sailing activities can now be boosted:
•All sea charting types
•Generic charting activities
•Current duck
•Drink crates
•Mermaid dives
•Spyglass - including speaking with Chartin' Charles McAtless
•Weather trolls
•Both building and using cannons on a boat
•Updated the requirement met filter in the Sea Charting interface to include quest requirements.
•The Blast Furnace no longer allows players to fill it completely with nickel ore, as smelting requires space to add copper ore as well. If you've already got this problem, select the 'Check' option on the Blast Furnace's melting pot. This will allow you to empty the furnace.
•When Sailing launched, we enabled you to dismantle the combined versions of the max cape. Now, Mac can do this too. For example, if you sell an Infernal Max Cape back to Mac, you'll now receive your Infernal Cape as well as the coins.
•Added swamp tar to Pygmy Krakens' drop table.
•The correct icon is now displayed upon showing a Holy Sheet to the High Priest.
•Testing the currents south of the pest-filled island near the Void Knight's Outpost is now correctly listed under The Simian Sea.
•Fixed a spade-related typo on the Port Task board.
•The NPC Ros now refers to a Mithril helm, rather than a Mahogany one, when she gives tips about the Jubbly Jive.

Last week, we heard your feedback loud and clear on the Sailing XP review and salvaging changes. After thoroughly reviewing your feedback, we rolled out a batch of hotfixes last Friday, which you can read in detail . Before diving into today’s update, we want to quickly recap what’s already been adjusted for those who missed it:

•We've increased the number of 'active' shipwrecks at each salvaging hotspot. This means every hotspot should have two inactive shipwrecks (rather than three or more), which will increase uptime for players salvaging.
•We've restored XP from sorting salvage to its pre-adjustment levels:
•Barracuda salvage from 13 XP to 15.5 XP.
•Large salvage from 20 XP to 24 XP.
•Pirate salvage from 26 XP to 31.5 XP.
•Mercenary salvage from 30 XP to 63.5 XP.
•Fremennik salvage from 32 XP to 75 XP.
•Merchant salvage from 34 XP to 95 XP.
•We've improved the player's salvaging speed from 5 ticks (3 seconds) to 4 ticks (2.4 seconds).
•We've reduced the XP modifier for crewmates pulling up salvage, to shift a little more focus onto Salvaging for yourself.
•Level 4 Deckhandiness XP modifier reduced from 70% to 40%.
•Level 3 Deckhandiness XP modifier reduced from 60% to 30%.
•We've added +1,250 XP to completion of the Marlin Gwenith Glide, meaning you'll receive 16,050 XP for a completion. Keep in mind that this number is now affected by the Horizon's Lure, which would put the new boosted completion XP at 16,451.

Now on to what's changed today...
