This week we're opening up new avenues for Invention, with augmentable hammers and tinderboxes and new perks to match.
There's also a big thank-you to those of you who've been with us the longest - the 15-year veteran cape.

15-Year Veteran CapeAnother year has passed and as Gielinor grows ever greater and more expansive, it's time to shout out to those of you who've been with us from the beginning.
RuneScape would be nothing without its loyal fans, so for those of you who've been with us for 15 years or more, Hans has a brand-new veteran cape in the works.
The first of you will be able to get your hands on it from the
23rd of February.
Today, we've also added an alternative emote to the 10-year cape, available as a right-click option.
Wear it proudly, and - most importantly - keep enjoying the game!
Enjoy!Have an inspired week of RuneScaping, guys. See you in-game!
