Summer Updates

Elite Dungeons - Mod Orion, Mod Sova & Mod Chaose

Over the summer, we are going to be trying something new in the form of Elite Dungeons. This starts with the Temple of Aminishi, home to the guardian beast Seiryu and its followers.

The team really wanted to treat dungeons as experiences, something you explore, fearful of what is around the next corner. That means you can experience Elite Dungeons as a solo player, but beware as this will be incredibly difficult on your own. Alternatively, you can go in with friends, forming groups of up to three players for a slightly less challenging experience. If you are only interested in the plentiful story and lore, then you can enter it in story mode, where the difficulty is lowered. Expect Dungeoneering XP, tokens and new loot for your efforts.

We’re going to start with Aminishi in June, but we have already begun work on the second Elite Dungeon for later in the year, with the potential of more in the future. The shot below might give a hint to the second Elite Dungeon, which will continue narratively from the first…

Player-Owned Farm - Mod Raven, Mod Rowley, Mod James H

A player-owned farm has featured in the top 10 of the annual surveys for two years running now. We are crazily eager to do this one.

Most of your time on the farm will be spent nurturing the livestock. You will choose animals to place in your pens, help them to grow, breed them to create better beasts, check them for XP, sell them at market, or retire them and bring in something bigger and better. Animals will be tradeable, and if you get hold of certain breeds you’ll gain access to global buffs for your farming runs and other related skills.

We’re planning for lots of rewards that plug into farming and other skills (magic beans are our current favourites), and you will be working towards building up the farm to its full potential and unlocking everything it has to offer.

If you have further ideas, get involved on the Player-Owned Farm Discord


Solak - Mod Ramen and Mod Iago

Solak is coming very, very soon. Expect more information in May’s Month Ahead, but Solak offers both duo and seven-player modes. Solak will provide one of the toughest challenges that we have ever offered in RuneScape.

 


Master Skillcape Perks & Improving 99 Skill Perks - Mod Daze & Mod Erator

The results from the Annual Survey challenged our assumptions and highlighted some projects that we should prioritise. This includes Master Skillcape Perks and the improvement of the existing skillcape perks. We’ll be polling you soon on whether you only want perks on current 120 skills, and we will be getting you involved in the nature of any perks, so expect more information soon.

 


There are also a few projects that you probably want updates on. Group Ironman will have a poll on Monday, asking you about your expectations for the project. The Mining and Smithing team will be transparent throughout the summer about how progress is going. Plus, we are investigating whether we can bring Bank Placeholders forward ahead of the full Bank Rework. It's likely that we will poll you about whether you are okay with this change.

 

Furthermore, work continues in full force on our Mobile clients for both RS and OSRS. We’ve made sure to take the time, finesse the product and ensure what we release is the best it can be. This remains one of our number one priorities. Porting a game as full of content and expansive as RuneScape onto mobile has proved to be no simple feat, and we can’t wait for you to experience the wonders of portable RS

May's BTS: "You can all get stuck into Solak who will be out at the end of June"

 

June's BTS: "You can all get stuck into Solak who will be out in August"

I don't think I believe this.

Okay. If they give me a farm I will unretire upon release. 

i sincerely hope there's an option for you to fail herding them and you get kicked in the dick by a pig.

And it unlocks the in-game achievement "You just got James'd!"

That is a cool looking weapon. I want it. 

someone cropped just the weapon, i LITERALLY thought it was from WoW and they wanted something like it to drop from the elite dungeons.

There's a similar model in WoW
