Load up on better loot this week as we improve elemental and rare drop tables.

Winners in our drop table improvement poll earlier this year, elementals are long overdue some better loot rewards.

Now, the following enemies will drop more useful, valuable and relevant loot for today's RuneScape:

The rare drop table has had some love too, bringing it up to date for today's game and economy. You'll start to see more lucrative and useful items dropping from monsters across the game, or greater quantities of items you'd have got before.

Braving the elements or seeing that glint from your ring of wealth should now be a more exciting and rewarding prospect than ever before. Enjoy the improved loot, and join the discussion on the forums.

Mod Deg and the RuneScape Team

In Other News

  • The January freebie for members - Iron-Fist Smithing - is now available in Solomon's Store!
  • Solomon's Store cosmetic items can now be bought directly from the Wardrobe. Just select the item you'd like, click 'buy now' and - as long as you have sufficient RuneCoins - the item will be unlocked immediately.
  • It is now possible to use Hearts of Ice to freeze out items related to currently running Treasure Hunter promotions.
  • Players joining a clan no longer have to wait to access clan features.
  • On leaving a clan a player must wait for 7 days until joining a new clan.
  • To help smaller clans maintain upgraded citadels, upkeep costs of clan citadels have been reduced. Upgrade costs have increased.
  • The following tweaks have been made to the Araxxor boss fight:
    • Players may no longer log out once Araxxor has spawned.
    • Araxxor's enrage counter now raises 20% per kill instead of 15%, and caps at 300%.
    • Araxxor now drops a new item which can reset the enrage counter. Having the item in the inventory increases the chance of spawning the combat style weaker to the equipped style by up to 95%.
    • Araxxor's sirenic scale drop has been increased to two pieces with a chance of a third.

See the patch notes for further details of today's updates.

It wasn't mentioned specifically in this update but for lack of a better place to put it, they made some announcements about RuneLabs as well. For one, they're going to be members-only. Really Jagex, cash-grabbing to have the privilege of submitting our ideas to you? Not terribly pleased with it.

Am interested to see what the improvement is for these. Well overdue.

It's not cash grabbing. The way Jagex sees it, most members have been around the game for a long time and therefore have the best ideas for what to implement into the game.

If they wanted to make it cash grabbing, they would make it a VIP only feature.

I don't know, maybe. The problem with pushing it on VIP is that for the other 11 months of the year they can't taunt you with a 'click-here-to-purchase' button since it's a limited time offer.

Notice, for example, how they stopped advertising the third TH key (spin at that point) free feature after January last year. Oh well, anyway...

This is similar to having only very specific votes in Player Power available for F2P. Would it make sense to have an army creating F2P accounts to vote up ideas?

You can block that by putting requirements on F2P accounts to vote though, like playtime, accounts being x years old, having a certain total level, etc.

As always, I'm glad to see Jagex updating game content. Although it hasn't affected me much, the rare drop table does need an update from time to time to keep it worthwhile. The clan updates seem pretty helpful as well.
