10 Year Veteran Today's update focuses on improving the wilderness with Slayer tasks that are rewarding and skilling that is faster than normal. Other improvements are included in this, such as the right-click options of the amulet of glory, wilderness obelisks, and the changes to the bandos godsword, ahrim's staff, and serpentine helm.
Wilderness Changes
While on a wilderness only Slayer task, you will receive an additional roll of monsters' drop tables. Monsters will also drop blood money equal to twice their combat level and have a chance at dropping a tier 1 mysterious emblem. Slayer and combat experience is increased by 25%.
Barrows will no longer drop sinister keys and blood money unless you have them as a wilderness Slayer assignment. If you do, the keys will be dropped noted. Wilderness Barrows has been opened to all game modes for wilderness Slayer.
Lava dragons have had their noted bone drops removed but Piles has been added to the area and can note them. Burying the bones on the isle gives the correct x4 more experience. Lava dragons will also drop more than 1 lava scale. The Agility shortcut south of the Lava Dragon Isle now requires the correct 74 Agility level to use.
While inside of the resource area, you will receive a 12.5% boost to skilling experience. Anywhere inside of the wilderness, a 10% boost is given to all skills that have a success/failure chance.
The fisherman located in the wilderness have been replaced with Piles, who will note any item in exchange for 50 coins. Noted fish will no longer block jewelry teleports past level 20. Piles has also been added to the mine between the Forgotten Cemetery and Ruins, which contains a large number of mithril rocks, coal rocks, and adamant rocks. Black chinchompas have been re-positioned which should help improve the rate that you catch them.
Rogues chests can be thieved for 25-50 blood money and a rune scimitar as a normal mode or a rune mace as a hardcore or ironman. The chests will remain open for 30 seconds, so to maximize experience and money you'll have to run between the different chests. Rogues will also attack you if you steal from them, so prayer will be needed to survive thieving.
Multiple items have been added to the blood money shop, including cosmetic item upgrade kits, a clue scroll box giving a random clue from easy to master, and skilling supplies. Certain items in the shop have been opened up to both hardcore and ironmen.
