It feels like the world of 2018 is more polarised then ever before. Left or right, red or blue, flat or round, custard cream or bourbon, Edward or Jacob... Hmm, it feels like this list is getting increasingly niche. But if there's one thing that unites us all it's how much we like a bargain. Which conveniently brings us to Premier Club! How's that for a segue?

PREMIER CLUB

We can now reveal that the new Premier Club offering will kick off on November 15th! Premier Club is the cheapest way to buy RuneScape membership. We're not going to detail all of the extras you get for joining just yet, but Premier Club will include the very cool looking Valkyrie outfit, complete with wings and an assortment of weapons.

You can find out exactly what benefits the new Premier Club will offer later this week.

Oh, and make sure to hoard those Loyalty Points - we have a special aura sale coming up at the start of next year!

PLUS...


If you're a Premier Club Gold member then don't forget to pick up your new gold chest on Tuesday, as soon as the Mining and Smithing beta goes live, from the Grand Exchange. Inside you'll find:


  • Mining & Smithing: Uniquely coloured version of the Necronium armour set and weapons
  • These items are overrides only that are equipped from the customisation menu
  • Resources Token
  • Can be redeemed when the full version of Mining & Smithing releases
  • Grants a nice chunk of ore and salvage resources


DOUBLE XP WEEKEND

As you've almost certainly already heard, a bonus Double XP weekend is nearly upon us, and it kicks off this week at midday on November 16th! That means that through to midday on November 19th members will have the opportunity to enjoy a 100% XP boost. Non-members can still enjoy a 20% XP boost. As always, the vast majority of skilling activities will be able to take advantage.


TOOLTIPS FOR POTIONS

As the name suggests, Tooltips for Potions comprises a significant update to the amount of information you can see when rolling your cursor over a potion. The new system is dynamic and will accurately reflect any effects that are interacting with a potion at any given moment.

Tooltip information has been upgraded for combo potions, juju potions, dungeoneering potions, barbarian mixes, stat boosting potions and misc potions, as well as for regular gem bags (they were already in place for upgraded bags).

MINING & SMITHING BETA

Don't forget that the new Mining and Smithing Beta arrives tomorrow (November 13th). Look out for more specific details in a dedicated newspost very shortly. Everything the development team has been working on should be available for all RuneScape players to try.

Patch Notes

Here are the patch notes for this week!


Achievement Bonanza



  • The dragonstone, dragonstone, dragonstone achievement can now be unlocked when using bolts inside a quiver.
  • Players that own the full Shamans Outfit are now more likely to play as a new familiar in Familiarisation to complete the 'A bit TOO familar' achievement.
  • Panic at the Disco achievement is now correctly marked as members only.
  • The "Gnome more, I'm full" achievement can now be completed by eating premade chocchip crunchies.
  • The "Bury All" achievement now specifies in the description that you have to bury/scatter manually rather than being able to use a bonecrusher or ectoplasmator.
  • Players with player owned ports armour that is either broken or stored in a play owned house will now being able to unlock the relevant achievements.
  • The "Treasure Hunter" achievement will no longer show as being completed repeatedly upon completing treasure trails clues
  • Players with all heist perks unlocked will now receive the cops and robbers achievement as expected.
  • Players that have fully upgraded the wicked hood should now receive the All Good achievement as expected.
  • The "I know you are but what am I" achievement can now be completed on metallic dragons.
  • Players that have completed the "you're it" achievement will no longer be able to complete it again.




other



  • Potion tooltips are here and yes, they also come with a toggle under Game Settings > Gameplay > Game Interaction > then scroll down to Tooltip Options, if you're not fussed about seeing all our hard work. :)
  • Added a tooltip to the regular gem bag (the upgraded version had one already).
  • RuneMetrics no longer takes you away from the App to a website when attempting to upgrade, the only way to upgrade is to purchase with Bonds.
  • Fixed an issue with some 'From Tiny Acorns' quest items being unobtainable if lost through death. Talking to Urist after losing the dragon will now correctly reset the stall, allowing the player to steal it again.
  • Parcel's title had a tiny typo and now states Parcel title when unlocked.
  • Magestix now has a left-click "Trade" option.
