• Explorer's aura will reset on reset next update
• Looking at what comes out of Inventor before looking at weapon niches
• Possible god book pages sink
• God Books moving to pocket slot
• Port Sarim graphical rework
• Mod Pi will be working on PvP updates in the near future
• Close (~month or two) on the decision on frequency of updates
• Discussing whether to block gaining XP in certain skills
• BoB legendary pet in wildy fix next week
• T90 Boots: Unique drops from Rune Dragons attached to glacor boots
• There is something special about adamant dragons
• Adamant dragons will be separated with slayer levels (starting at 85? 90? slayer level)
• Mod Deg (Chris L's team) is working on a boss (he mentioned being killed by it in a 6man team)
• This is the team working on World Event III, Raiding and the raiding bosses
• Pharaoh sceptre wielding requirement to be removed like SotG
• Quest capes getting hoods
• Longer GE history with new interface (increased from 5 to 10)[1]
• Merchandise purchasable with bonds
• No progress on construction rework (ninjas have a series of QoL 'tweaks' though)

World Event III: Tuska

• Lasts for 1 month starting from 1st June
• Gielinor (Players) v Tuska
• Won't see any NPCs as followers of Tuska
• Can represent Armadyl, Saradomin, Zamorak or Godless (Vorago/Scop)
• Can be won or lost by either side (Win, Lose and one other outcome)
• Every day is a new round
• Every day players have to do X amount of damage to Tuska to win the day
• Tuska will adapt to the Event as it goes on
• Level and skill preferences are irrelevant
• Many different/unique ways to contribute to the fight
• Astromancers have figured out a way to teleport off Gielinor to Tuska (Lodestone)
• Event activities will take place on islands/asteroids orbiting Tuska
• Astromancer will send you up to islands in teams of 10 (less if premade)
• Travel from island to island, making your way to the front of Tuska
• Stab Tuska's weak point (front) with a Spear (deals damage)
• The spear is god-aligned
• Damage from each faction will be tracked and will feature in the consequences
• Doing activities give currency like previous
• Vorago will feature in the World Event (sides with the Godless)
• Not reliant on groups but works well with them
• No requirements
• Odds are the event will have an impact on the surface world (up to the players)
• After the world event players will be able to participate in some of the activities (some of the rewards might be gone or more expensive)
• Not voice acted
• Rewards
• Warpriest (including WE1/2 ones) - Tuska Warpriest passive is a chance to deal a critical hit (close to max hit)
• Tiered emotes (not including WE1/2 ones)
• Abilities such as Devotion, Sacrifice etc
• Previous weapon overrides will not be available
• Different islands give different XP rewards (Agility is one of them)
• Ironman accounts are not restricted (even have access to all rewards including abilities)
• Deaths in the event are safe
• In each island you have to charge the spear
• Island Type I
• 23.7 xp every tick for building targets (attracts lightning strikes)
• Divert lightning by clicking the icons on the floor (410.6xp)
• Kill 'lightning dudes' to charge spear
• Repeat until spear is charged
• Move on to the island
• 90% of daily cap can be done in ~20mins with the last 10% at a slower rate
• Bar on the top is Tuska's HP (hovering over shows which faction did how much damage)

Hope the T90 boots give offensive stats. Rune and addy dragons sound cool too.

What's with "Darklight under review"?

This event sounds interesting. Can't wait

• This is the team working on World Event III, Raiding and the raiding bosses

Am I reading too much into this or are they talking about classic MMO raiding? 

[Pearl]

Looking forward to this .

It was super OP a couple updates back. The only monster that it had a game-changing impact on was kal'gerion demons. Now they nerfed it so hard it's useless again.

Which was shirt sighted. Kalgers were mostly unused content before the Darklight buff. Erving it would only serve to revert them back to that. Instead what they should do is make the rare drops rarer.

Also: suuuuuuuper excited for Tuska.

Let's play: drunk? or phone post?
