This week brings adjustments to Sailing, Last Man Standing rewards system and more
Sailing Changes
- •Updated the colours of Steel and Iron cannonballs to better depict their metals, bringing them in line with other items made from those materials.
- •Likewise, Steel and Iron nails have also been adjusted so their appearance better matches their metal.
- •Rubium Mining tweaks:
- •Tick manipulation no longer works at Rubium rocks.
- •Increased the amount of guaranteed Rubium Splinters you receive based on your Mining level, capping at 2:
- •Level 48 Mining: 1 guaranteed Splinter
- •Level 72 Mining: 2 guaranteed Splinters
- •Incendiary and Chainshot cannonballs:
- •Reduced the Smithing XP as outlined in the blog here. (See the table for new XP rates in its dedicated section of this blog)
- •Reduced the production speed - the Incendiary and Chainshot cannonballs can now be made at one set every 2 ticks.
- •Some hotfixes we've deployed last week:
- •The auto-retaliate option for cannons no longer has an additional delay, bringing them in line with standard combat.
- •The armour immunity of keels now works correctly when auto-retaliate is enabled for cannons.
- •The "Boat 'Em Up" track now correctly unlocks and gets added to the Music Player when the player is the Captain of the boat. If you previously completed the quest and the track did not unlock, you can now unlock it simply by disembarking at Last Light.
Changes to the Last Man Standing Rewards Eligibility
- •Now, players must first win a game of Last Man Standing before they can purchase any tradeable items from Justine's Stuff for the Last Shopper Standing.
- •Players who haven't won any games can only purchase the untradeable items from the shop.
Wilderness QoL Change
- •Now, if a player dies without having been in combat with another player within the last 30 seconds, their death will be treated as a PvM death instead of a PvP death - even if they were attacked by another player earlier. This change is intended to prevent situations where players are attacked in the Wilderness, forget they were attacked, then continue engaging in PvM and lose their items to a PvP death unknowingly.
- •This applies to all account types, meaning if you haven't been in player combat in the last 30 seconds before dying:
- •The PKer can no longer receive your loot.
- •Your items can be reclaimed from your Gravestone or Death.
- •If you've been in player combat in the last 30 second before dying, standard PvP death mechanics will apply.
Other Changes
- •Updated the Leagues first board to reflect that Kalmaars was the first player to max in Leagues VI: Demonic Pacts.
- •A message about puffer fish has been updated for players using the Medallion of the Deep.
