Items gifted by Ironmen in the Secret Santa event will now be given to other players. Irons still cannot claim a Secret Santa gift, however. Advent Calendar Fixed an error that would occur when the player used an XP Lamp without logging out after the Advent Calendar event began. The tutorial and Advent Calendar UIs no longer clash when relogging without having closed the initial tutorial message. The Double Dragon Chests promotion will now reset correctly when it runs at the weekend. The progression track now resets as expected. Daily Challenges: Bonus Weekly Rewards Fixed an issue which allowed Iroman accounts to receive Combat Dummies from the Daily Challenge system. Aminishi World map has implemented a new category under Activities - Boss encounters. The drop-down category includes: Boss encounters Elite dungeons Raids Elder God Wars Dungeon Fixed an issue with the colour of the Extra Action buttons in Elder God Wars Dungeon. The Scripture of Jas now stores damage after all combat calculations are performed. As a result, it will now correctly store damage from damage-over-time abilities, and account for damage modifications such as Vulnerability. The chance of receiving a unique drop from Croesus has been increased slightly. The chance of receiving a unique drop from the Arch-Glacor has been increased slightly. The reward scaling for higher enrage and higher killstreaks has also been made more lucrative, whilst removing some value from the lower enrage and killstreak drops.*To benefit from these changes to Arch-Glacor you will need to start a new killstreak. Mobile Client On the God Wars Reputation interface on mobile, users can now see the preview description for the Reputation unlocks. Treasure Hunter Treasure Hunter promotion rewards are only affected by the multiplier of the promotion in which they were won. The Treasure Hunter rewards are no longer influenced by the previous promotion's multipliers. When not selected, Invention no longer receives the same amount of XP as the selected skill. Store Issue fixed where pressing the back button on the Shop tab of the Marketplace pushes the player into the game. Removed the Sunbather's Hat neck shade to prevent clipping issues. Other fixes The 'Top Tip' on the Sinkholes minigame no longer overlaps other UI elements. Players are now able to scroll the Golden Party Hat Hunt list using both the list and the scrollbar. Fixed an issue where some players would receive a message about a new Menaphos City Quest before unlocking the ability to start them. Prevented Frank from blocking player movement in Death's Office and War's Retreat. The archaeologist NPC at the Acropolis has been removed from the game. The Island of Kami-Shima now renders correctly inside the player-owned Ports Map interface. Removed a duplicated message that occurred when attempting to equip an unwearable item. Offhand Shadow Glaive was dealing less damage than expected when paired with a non-Glaive Mainhand. This has been corrected. The Scavenging perk is now triggered on Prifddinas Elves. Fixed an issue with the Sap Spirit curse, which was draining 8% of your opponent’s adrenaline, rather than the intended 10%. Using a Deathtouched Dart on a Blood Nihil while it heals will no longer give XP at the end of the kill. Updated the icon for the War's Retreat teleport. The effect of Terrasaur maul will no longer boost abilities applied with greater barge if the player is not wielding the weapon. Merch UpdatesLast chance to grab the RS20 Deluxe Edition book!
