Bobby Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 The Arc & Uncharted Isles | Invention XP | Flourishing Fairy Outfit You suggested it and now it’s finally here – RuneScape has a brand new region waiting for you to set sail and explore. Once you meet the requirements, head over to The Arc islands via Port Sarim for skilling, hunting, slaying and so much more. When you’ve earned yourself some currency there, blast into the neighbouring Uncharted Isles and lay claim to your very own island paradise. Check out a spectactular new addition to Solomon's Store, too: the Flourishing Faery Outfit. Also this week is the lifting of the Invention XP-item amnesty. Read on for all the details about that, as well as our usual patch notes, streaming info and other news. Requirements: RuneScape members only. To access the Arc islands, you only need to have completed the mini-quest “Impressing the Locals.” Speak to Trader Stan in Port Sarim to begin. To explore the uncharted isles and claim your own island you must have one or more of the following skills at level 90: Fishing, Hunter, Slayer and Woodcutting. Miniquests in and around the Arc islands will have individual requirements. The Arc Islands The first three islands of an area called The Arc are now here for you to explore! Get ready for a host of different action-packed activities, challenges, skilling opportunities, miniquests, characters, nuggets of lore and so much more. Arrive first at the trade hub of Waiko. Talk to the various characters who inhabit this bustling and vibrant marketplace. Take on miniquests, continue the Slaver storyline or carry out tasks to earn the unique currency, chimes, which can be spent on the resources necessary to start the second part of this initial Eastern Lands release: exploring the Uncharted Isles, but more on that later in the post! Secondly, travel to Whale’s Maw. Located in prime fishing waters this is the perfect spot for training your Fishing and Hunter skills. Finally there's Aminishi – a Slayer-focussed island. Investigate the mysterious cult of monks who inhabit it and discover their links to the monstrous spirit dragons. What secrets will you discover in this strange and wondrous place? Additional islands, some of which you can see on the Arc’s map screen, will be added in future content releases. For now, let’s look at the other part of this bumper initial Eastern Lands update. Explore the Uncharted Isles – find your own island paradise Once you have earned enough chimes, the unique currency of the Eastern Lands, you will be able to spend them on Supplies from the market in Waiko. Once you have enough Supplies (and meet a level requirement – detailed above) you will be able to explore the Uncharted Isles. This is a procedurally generated region where every voyage brings up more uniquely shaped islands with random assortments of resources. Land on any island you discover, skill, kill or chill there for a while, then move on to the next one in search of different riches. This is where the really high-level skilling is to be discovered in the Eastern Lands and you’ll have to keep on exploring the Uncharted Isles for a chance to find it. When you find one you like, place a flag on it to save it as your own permanent, private resort. Once decided upon, you can return to your island whenever you like. Perhaps you picked it because of its abundance of useful skilling resources or perhaps you just like the shape – it’s up to you to explore and discover. You can even add customisation to your new base too, including a fabulous hammock that you can use to change the time of day. The best islands with the biggest riches will cost the most of supplies to reach. Save up by taking part in as many Arc activities as possible and launch a voyage farther into the unknown that any ‘Scaper has gone before! Remember - this is only the first part of the Eastern Lands expansion and many more features are planned. Stay tuned for further news of the upcoming additions to this wonderful new horizon for RuneScape. Now get exploring! The Eastern Lands are all about exploring and it’s a clean slate for you all. What will you discover?

Hello everyone,The Invention XP Amnesty will be ending on Monday July 25th and we’ve made this post for clarification on what you can expect when this comes into play. All Lamps/Stars require completion of the Invention tutorial before using on Invention. Any XP/Bonus XP which can be used on Invention will gain XP at a 50% reduced rate Quest XP rewards Lamps/Stars Dragonkin Lamp XP Books/Items Minigame rewards such as troll invasion and penguins All bonus XP consumed will double the XP gain as with other skills. Tears of Guthix/Guthix Butterflies Note: Invention must be unlocked to benefit from these If a skill other than Dungeoneering and Invention is below 99 the XP will go to the lowest XP skill overall If all other skills are 99 the XP will go to the lowest level of Invention and Dungeoneering, and if both levels are the same to the skill with the lowest XP Disassemble and siphoning XP from weapons/tools Bonus XP can be used here. Other boosts will not apply here. Item XP Double XP weekends will give double XP to the levelling of your items instead of the XP gained Certain modifiers are applied to item XP instead of disassembly, including: Bonus XP weekend Clan avatars Wisdom aura Jack of Trades will count Invention as a Skill We hope this helps clear up the details on it! Thanks for reading Patch notes... The following fixes and tweaks have now been implemented. If you believe a change has not been documented, either in the patch notes or the news posts for this week’s update, please detail the change so that it may be added. As always, be sure to submit a bug report should you encounter a gameplay bug or graphical glitch in-game. Skills, D&Ds & Minigames Bonus XP and lamps may now be applied to Invention. Please bear in mind that elite skills use a different XP curve, and XP and BXP is applied at 50% of the normal rates from these methods. Prismatic lamps and stars can now be used in Invention at a reduced rate of 50% of the usual experience. Auras may now be used with Invention, including for Jack of Trades. The Wisdom aura applies its bonus to item XP, rather than direct XP. Master Runecrafting robes now correctly give 5% bonus experience instead of 6%. Infinity ethereal now correctly gives 5% - if the full Master Runecrafting robes are owned - instead of 4%. Playing Fight Kiln with cutscenes turned off no longer deletes rewards if you have some to claim. The Port Sarim Invasion event has ended. Quests, Challenges and Achievements Unlocking Tim and Crunchy pets have been added to the Master Quest Cape requirements. When being teleported by Thaerisk Cemphier in the quest While Guthix Sleeps you will no longer be teleported into a wall in Port Sarim. NXT Fixed a crash that would happen when the player levelled up whilst in a group. Java Added engine support for Arc content. Other Force walk tile near Port Sarim pub removed. The in special attack bar Legacy interface mode has been moved back to its previous position. Using bonds to change your name no longer prevents use of keybinds. The Daystone and Nightstone can no longer be used inside a POH. Link to comment
