As mentioned last week, we have changed the nature of the durability of the barrows equipment. After 15 hours of use in combat your barrows equipment will have to be repaired. You can go and visit Dunstan (Burthorpe), Bob (Lumbridge) or Tindel Marchant (Port Khazard), who can make the necessary repairs. The important things to note are:
This 15 hour timer will only start after today's update - anyone using barrows equipment prior to today will not need to repair it until a further 15 hours of combat have passed.
The stats of the equipment will not change while it is degrading.
Barrows equipment dropped from death will always appear as "broken" to other players scavenging the kill.
Barrows equipment is only tradeable when either fully broken or fully fixed.
Barrows equipment costs the following to repair:
Barrows weapons: 100k
Barrows bodies: 90k
Barrows legs: 80k
Barrows helmets: 60k
It can be repaired at any time. You don't have to wait until the piece of equipment is broken. If you repair an item "early" it will cost you proportionally less to repair.
Please check the Barrows equipment sets page in the equipment section of the manual for more information.
Other Gameplay Tweaks
Players can use the permanent serum on the Afflicted in Mort'ton in addition to the standard serum. Doing so will encourage a better response than before.
Black spears can now be found in the shade chests.
Headbands, halloween masks, berets and cavalier hats have had slight name changes so players can more easily identify the colour in a trade.
Please note that these are NOT new items, just renamed old items.
Unstrung bows now have a suffix of (u) to help identify the fact that they are unstrung.
Desert bandits now give thieving xp when non-coin items are pickpocketed.
Rangers can now target innocent werewolves over the bar tables in Canifis so they dont have to get their armour dirty.
All the spears in the game are now the same (faster) speed.
Have fun!!
Enjoy!
