Our preparations for the Eastertime Fete are hopping along nicely, but in the meantime we've also been working hard on some other projects, including Portable Vic, a much-anticipated fix for chargebows, and a delicious community celebration. Read on to find out more!

Portable Vic the Trader

Everyone's favourite trader is gearing up to offer a more personal service. From April 23rd to May 26th you will be able to exchange a Bond to summon your very own Portable Vic the Trader. At the press of a button Vic will set up shop in the time and place of your choosing with his usual range of wares, including unique items, skill outfit pieces, and prismatic lamps.

A few facts about Portable Vic the Trader:



  • Portable Vic will have better XP exchange rates than regular Vic.
  • Once activated you will be able to use your portable Vic for an hour.
  • Portable Vic will only work for the person who summoned him, and the summoner cannot use other Vics.


Vic won't be sticking around for long, so act quickly if you'd like to secure his services.

Take a look at this FAQ to find answer for the most common questions about Portable Vic. You can also discuss Vic with fellow players over on Discord.

Note:
At this time, this is not a permanent addition to the game, but may be re-introduced permanently if it proves popular. This does not impact the usual occurrence of Vic the Trader.

Chargebow Fix

With the game update that released on the 4th March we introduced some changes to chargebows since then we've listened to your feedback and made some changes to chargebows. One of the most common player requests since then has been to only make chargebows do reduced damage when used with arrows with special effects.

From now on, only arrows with hit effects will be consumed by chargebows.

We're adding this fix to the game this week.

Gefeliciteerd!

On the 22nd of April we'll be saying 'happy birthday' to our Dutch community, who have been active in RuneScape for 10 whole years! To celebrate this momentous occasion, and the Dutch festival Kings Day on the 27th, stroopwafels are coming to RuneScape!

To get your hands on these delicious Dutch delicacies, look for Wilhelm near the windmill in Taverley. Only the most discerning of adventurers will taste them all and figure out which kind of stroopwafel tastes the best!

A few people from the Dutch community have planned additional activities and the information for these can be found here.

Charity

Keep a look out for our Charity Partners at the Eastertime Fete! Representatives from CPSL Mind and The Prince's Trust will be in attendance, full of information about their respective charities.

Don't forget that any purchases made during the Guilded Eggstravaganza - including purchases from Solomon's Store - will go straight to charity. You'll also get a hefty chunk of crystallised fragments for donating. It's a win-win!

Patch notes

A few highlight of the changes this week are:



  • Added an option in Social settings, under Friend List, to prevent other players from trailing you after adding you to their friends list.
  • Added Liberation of Mazcab to the Max Guild boss portal options.
  • Increased the player's Grand Exchange sales history from the last 20 finished transactions to 40.


As always, if you'd like to take a peek behind the curtain and find out more about what we've been up to this week, the patch notes are available to read here.

LootScape

Our live streams are always a great opportunity to grab some awesome in-game prizes. And this April, we've done one particularly hefty update of the LootScape for you! We've added a bonanza package for your Player-Owned Farm, courtesy of Granny Potterington. In addition, we thought it would be time to bring back some player-favourite goodies: the skilling outfit piece, the Loots Cape and Nature's Balance (main-hand sword override).

This April, each and every RuneScape stream watched will give you a random drop from one of the following:

Guaranteed:



  • Between 10-100 Player-Owned Farm Beans
  • A name re-roller or trait re-roller
  • A random animal for their farm
  • Guaranteed drop from Basic Drop Table (see below)
  • View counter goes up on Orb


Chance based:



  • A random skilling outfit piece (if unowned)
  • Either Nature's Balance or Loots Cape (if unowned)


Basic Drop Table: Prismatic small fallen star, Prismatic medium fallen star, Prismatic small lamp, Prismatic medium lamp, Spirit Ruby, Spirit Diamond, Advanced Pulse Core, Spring, Silverhawk down, Medium DG Token Box, Small DG Token Box, Uncut Dragonstone, Large Cash Bag, Medium Cash Bag or Small Cash Bag.

Exciting isn't it?! So don't wait up - connect your RS account to your Twitch account and find out more here. Once that's done, have fun and watch our streams during the day for a guaranteed drop.

Portable vic is stupid as hell. Seriously. Actually the stupid part is that he lasts for an hour. Like, you wouldnt buy/sell everything much faster?

I am interested in the stroopwaffles.
