Hey guys,
I've decided to change a few things with this update. Most important being untradeable equipment and Slayer! I'm also working on HD water, which will improve the game's quality even more. Have fun! :D
Untradeable Equipment
With the recent changes to the death mechanic, I no longer see a reason for certain items to be tradeable. I've created a list of items which can no longer be traded:- Defenders
- Void knight equipment (also korasi's sword)
- Fighter torso
Quick reminder from previous updates: If these items are lost in a fight in PvP zones, your enemy will get a cash drop instead.
Slayer
You haven't seen an update in Slayer for a while, so I've overhauled the internal code completely and added some new things. You can now get a larger variety of monsters as tasks. Moreover, I've created a formula that calculates the combat strength of a monster. With this formula I've redone the task set of slayer masters.
There's now also a new slayer master, Shenven in the Ancient Caves. She only assigns very tough monsters. That includes all bosses around Emps-World and even Jad! The dialogue system of all Slayer Masters has also completely been rewritten and new task monsters have been added.

New Slayer Point shop items (20k SP per weapon):- Chaotic longsword, rapier and maul: Level 72 Attack and Slayer: Boosts accuracy and strength during slayer tasks by 10%.
- Chaotic staff: Level 72 Magic and Slayer: Boosts mage accuracy and strength during slayer tasks by 10%.
- Chaotic crossbow: Level 72 Ranged and Slayer: Boosts range accuracy and strength during slayer tasks by 10%.
Chaotic equipment degrades after 15,000 charges and can be repaired with coins. The price for a full repair is 1,000,000 coins. Some people may not like the release of 'especially' these weapons, but I think that they are in a really good spot as Slayer rewards. They definitely won't outperform other high-level weapons outside of Slayer tasks and will make bosses during tasks easier to solo.
HD Water
Water has massively been reworked and is now in public beta. I've created dynamic water planes that are animated. We'll be testing the code in several areas to verify if everything is working out properly. Don't worry if you dislike it though, you can toggle the water quality via the game settings. Please bear in mind that this change doesn't have any large impact on performance! The water animation now is in low quality and I am currently working on reflections and better water surfaces.
Following things have been changed:- Floor in houses of Port Sarim has been updated. It's now looking better and less cluttery.
- Fps rate setting has been changed. You can now select the following steps: 30, 60, 80, 144 and inf.
- Charges of fremennik ring upgrades has been increased from 3000 to 15000. I want these rings to be useful and not break in the middle of a fight.
- Korasi's sword accuracy and strength bonuses have slightly been buffed.
- Accuracy bonuses of fremennik helms has been buffed.
- Bar smelting level requirements and experience rates updated.
All the best,
Thomy
Updates of 21st:- Chaotic longsword slightly buffed.
- Stat buffs for longswords (bronze - dragon).
- Chaotic maul and gladiator maul animations updated. These new animations fit better and don't differ too much. You're still holding the weapon the same way.
- Proper attack interface for all swords added.
- Degradeable equipment can now be checked again.
- Fighter torso now scales with your level up to 70. This also increases its accuracy and strength bonus accordingly.
-
I don't like the untradeable equipment update but I understand your point.
Anyways, great decision to update slayer !
-
Awesome update! Nice to see that slayer have been updated.
-
Any plans on making minigames soloable now? :LUL:
There's nobody playing PC :(
-
Lets hope more people will do pc now :D
-
Really good looking updates, espescially the new slayer equipment!
-
Emps has been saved!
-
Thanks Thomy for the great update, time to slay!
-
How many slayer points does any chaotic weapon cost?
Great updates!
-
Nice updates, much appreciated! :D

20k points per weapon.

Thanks! There's currently a bug that you cannot view the charges left of degradable equipment. This is only a visual issue, your equipment still loses charges and it will be fixed with the next restart (today or tomorrow)! :)
-
So great update, especially things about slayer :)
Do you have any plans of putting some new monsters or new dungeon in game?
-
Great update to be honest because its really good when you work on graphics.
-
I like the new overhaul, chaotic is finally here which i have been waiting for ages.
In the other hand who is the best slayer master for exp and for points or this is something players have to discover :)
-
Patch notes update with changes of 21st of April. :)
-
Fighter torso now scales with your level up to 70. This also increases its accuracy and strength bonus accordingly.
Ya done goofed on this one. It's now got the accuracy bonus of bcp and +4 more str bonus. Torso was perfectly fine the way it was I don't see why you've buffed it.

And less defence bonuses with less accuracy, being untradeable and lost upon death. No update / change is set in stone and I would like to see how this turns out. It'll definitely make the fighter torso more popular.

Why...? Yes, dieing there is fatal and it's also supposed to be so. Else it's just a free farm fest of high level armours.
