Patch Notes

We've implemented over 100 different changes and fixes this week! Read on to find out what they are.

Twitch Prime

We've once again partnered with Twitch to bring you a whole lot of exclusive in-game rewards as part of the Twitch Prime loot! And this month, each and every one of you who's a Twitch Prime member can grab a free Umbral Pack (Umbral Waraxe, Umbral Akh and Umbral Wings). How to redeem your gains? Simple, follow the link below and make sure you follow all steps of the process:

RuneFest 2019

RuneFest 2019 will be a blast from the very distant past as visitors take a dangerous journey into The Land Out of Time. Expect dinosaurs! And carnivorous player-eating plants! As you're travelling around a real-life slice of the island you can look forward to hands-on time with new content, talks and meetups with the JMods, loads of panels, a dedicated LAN area, an art area for meeting the creative teams and of course some very big surprise announcements on the main stage. We're also bringing back skill chips!

Tickets available

If you're in need of tips and suggestions on everything from travel to accommodation, you can also join our dedicated Discord channel, head to the official RuneFest forum or the community-owned Facebook Group.

The Official RuneFest 2019 Tees and Hoodies are also available for pre-order (until Sunday August 18th)!

This year's explosive design is inspired by the majestic volcano that can be found on both Fossil Island and the Land Out of Time. It's the perfect thing to wear while you're roaming the prehistoric jungle and excavating fossils at RuneFest- or while you're hacking through the weeds in your own back garden. We don't judge.

If you've already bought your ticket for RuneFest 2019, we've sent you an email with further instructions. Check your mailbox! If you haven't bought your RuneFest ticket yet, you'll be able to add your chosen items to your order before checkout.

Pre-ordering saves you money on non-personalised tees (£2 off event RRP) and hoodies (£5 off event RRP). It's also the only way to get your tee personalised and guarantee a tee or hoodie in your size. XXS, S and XXL and XXXL non-personalised tees are only available to pre-order.

Got any question on your pre-order of the RuneFest merch? Check out this FAQ.

LootScape

Our live streams are always a great opportunity to grab some awesome in-game prizes. And as our first adventurers set foot on Land Out of Time (or as we call it "LOoT"), we thought you'd like an update of the LootScape. Ok, roll the drums and behold... our LOoTScape!

Tuesday, August 13th - 16:00 UTC (Game Time) - Let's Play: 5K Master Clue Scrolls

Time is of the essence when it comes to scaping and we're sure that you'd love to get the most of your second week of Summer Escape (Combat & Slayer buffs!) without getting too much of your head into anything else. That's why for this Tuesday, Mod Poerkie and Mod Shogun have decided to hop on the PCs and host a laid-back 5K Master Clue Scroll opening stream!

Of course, we'll also cover all the other topics that the community has talked about in the last days - Sigils and Clan Cup included - and we'll take questions from the Twitch chat.

LootScape will be enabled (see all details above).

Saturday, August 17th - 12:00 UTC (Game Time) - MsSassyPants Featured Stream

This week, our featured streamer is MsSassyPants! Join her on a full 12h-long adventure filled with community events (GWD2 Boss Masses, Nex Mass, Megaduck Mass, and Skill'n'Chill)!

This featured stream is also an opportunity to grab a LootScape! That's right, you can now receive in-game loot when you watch a RuneScape streamer. It works exactly the same way as our official streams, just watch MsSassyPants' stream on (her Twitch channel) and you'll receive the LootScape the following day.

LootScape will be enabled (see all details above).

Sunday, August 18th - 18:00 UTC (Game Time) - PvM with Mod Lee

Our resident PvM expert Mod Lee knows no fear and he's ready to take you all on another round of boss mass. From Vorago to the Kalphite King, the Corporeal Beast, the Angel of Death, if you've got a set to complete, an achievement to unlock, or simply want to hang out with friends and slay some, this is the place and time!

LootScape will be enabled (see all details above).

Pink skirts Events

Of course, adventures continue in Gielinor even when we're too busy (PKing) creating the adventures of tomorrow. Our PMods are here to welcome you in a range of PvM Boss Masses, Events and Q&As each week. Check out all the community events organised by the Pink Skirts on their official schedule here.
