Hey guys,
Following things have been updated today:
- Farming timers increased. It now takes 4 minutes for a plantation to grow (it used to take 3 minutes). Don't be sad though, you can now use the allotment mud patches in Catherby and south of Falador.
- Mud patches have received a left-click plant option. When using that, the first seed/seedling found in your inventory will automatically be planted. You no longer need to use the seed on the mud patch.
- New seeds can now be planted (potatoes, onions, tomatoes, etc). Check the farming skill interface for a list of all new seeds.
- Clicking on patches no longer tells you what they require you to do (water / raking weeds). Instead, your character now waters or rakes your plantations automatically. The right-click 'Guide' option however, tells you the plantation's needs. In general, you can now train farming by only left-clicking your plantations.
- Timers of Farming animations updated. You can no longer water/rake multiple patches at the same time. Your character now waits until you've watered/raked the current patch and walks to the next one (if clicked).
- Red chinchompas have received their multi hit ability. They act like barrages from the ancient magicks and hit targets around them for a maximum of 75% of the initial damage.
- A bug was fixed where you wouldn't fire your crossbow when your enemy was binded.
- A bug was fixed where you'd walk towards your enemy when using Ranged after casting a magic spell.
- Shooting a crossbow and throwing knives/darts no longer pauses walking for a second.
- Farmer and Master farmer thieving loot updated. You can now gain the new seeds for the new Farming plantations.
- Magic watering can (infinite amount of water for farming) is now available. It can be obtained by opening the chest in the wilderness with crystal keys, or by opening the chest in the smoke demon dungeon. Moreover, Chronozon and Chaos Elemental have a rare chance to drop the magic watering can too.
- A bug was fixed where you disconnected when talking to the make-over mage.
EDIT: Bugfixes on 17/05/2015:
- Darts and knives maxhits were reduced. They were giving too many high hits in a short amount of time.
- Magic watering can is now usable on saplings.
- White berry bush works again.
- Dragon pickaxe special attack fixed. It used to require 25%, although it should be 20%.
- Castle-Wars waiting timer in lobby is now displayed again.
On top of that, I've also re-written major parts of the client. Some people were complaining that the RAM usage was too high. I was able to reduce the total memory usage. Please also bear in mind that a high memory usage is not necessarily bad and that Java has memory overhead!
All the best,
Thomy
