Boss Practice Mode | Instancing Improvements
Boss fights are exciting, challenging, and the source of some of RuneScape's shiniest loot, but the level of difficulty can make them off-putting to newcomers. Boss Practice Mode is here to help, offering a safe environment in which to hone your boss battling skills until you're ready to face the real thing. We've also trimmed down the instancing interface to the essentials, allowed you to return to instances across log-outs or game updates, and introduced three exclusive rewards for those willing to welcome and help out new players. Read on to find out more! Boss Practice Mode If you want to boss, but don't feel up to the challenge just yet, Practice mode is for you. You'll have the option of selecting this when creating an instance before entering a boss fight. A Practice mode instance is different from a regular one in several ways:
There are – of course – some limitations in Practice mode:
To help you prepare, the Beasts interface has been updated with a 'Learn' button that gives details of each featured boss's attacks and tactics. You can also access a boss's 'Learn' page by clicking their image in the Instance System interface. A Practice mode instance is the perfect place to break into bossing, or to brush up your skills if you're feeling rusty. Boss Instancing Improvements Along with Practice mode, there are a number of other updates to boss instancing that'll make the experience smoother and simpler all round:
Help New Players, Get Rewards There's a new set of unique rewards for those who help inexperienced boss battlers hone their skills. When a non-Practice mode boss goes down, anyone with 10 or more kills on that boss who makes it into the top 15 damagers will receive one point for each person with fewer than 10 kills who also makes it into the top 15. As you earn points, you'll unlock the following:
For someone learning bossing, there's nothing better than a seasoned pro showing them the ropes. These rewards are a 'thank you' for those of you willing to lend a helping hand. Enjoy! Boss fights can be one of the most rewarding parts of RuneScape – from the gear you can get through to the friends can make – and now it's more accessible than ever. Have fun, fight hard, and let us know your thoughts over on the forums. Mod Chris L and the RuneScape Team Solomon's Store – Dark Lord Pack - Coming Soon The Dark Lord may have been defeated during Plague's End, but now you can take on the same sinister style with the Dark Lord Pack – available today in Solomon's Store! First up, there's a five-piece outfit to enjoy, complete with eerie particle effects. There's a teleport animation override, too, and two skill overrides: one for infusing summoning pouches, and one for altar runecrafting. In Other News

You can practice bosses, but not hard mode. Okay then . |

I have never been into 'bossing' at all, but I think this is going to help me get my feet wet with it. I still don't really expect to get into it all that much though. If anything, it's definitely going to help me on my road to Comp. A.k.a., help me learn Araxxor. Overall, I think this update is long overdue. Looking forward to being able to learn fights without risking everything. |

The funniest thing of this update is the addition of Jmod event notifications. There was a recent poll on the front page asking why people don't attend. Despite the results of the poll I don't think people care about in game events much these days. |

At least Jagex did what they could to help, I guess...although personally there are other things I would have preferred added to the clock. The reset timers, particularly daily, are nice additions though. |

True, and for those who actually do want to attend, this should help them quite a bit. |
