Patch Notes (06/07/20)

This week our J-Mods have been swarming all over Gielinor, squashing bugs and implementing improvements en masse. They say 'the more the merrier' and that's never more true than when it comes to Patch Notes. So let's dive right in and see what's changed!

Archaeology Other Fixes

Archaeology

The dust might might be starting to settle on RuneScape's newest skill, but there's still some divine work to be done!

  • When completely filling an empty divine charge using the Divine-O-Matic Vacuum, excess energy will now flow into the next empty divine charge, instead of being wasted.
  • Players using an uncharged Divine-O-Matic Vacuum with an active Divine Conversion relic power will now receive the correct amount of energy when converting memories at an energy rift.
  • Additional messaging has been added when completing Art Critic Jacques' collections to indicate that replica pieces of art can be displayed in the Guild Office.
  • Some Archaeology materials have been added to Archaeology Research and Tetracompass loot tables for better distribution.
  • Fixed an issue where the 'Ruthless' perk was remaining on the Buff Bar after being cleared.

    • Other

    The rest of this week's improvements span the length and breadth of Gielinor. Read on to find out more!

  • Arc berry bushes will now give 5% Farming reputation when harvested, in line with other bushes.
  • Replaced outdated spell icons in the Magic skillguide with the up to date ones found in the Magic ability book.

  • Removed a reference to 'virtual levels' upon levelling up in skills that reach level 120 without virtual levels.
  • An A/B test for 50% of self-selected new players has ended. All players that choose "I have never played before" will once again start on Tutorial Island. Note that players can skip the tutorial in the Settings menu or bypass sections of Tutorial Island with chapter exits.
  • On Mobile:
    • The Buff and Debuff Bars have been relocated from the top of the interface layout to the bottom, above the Combat HUD. They have also been made marginally smaller.
    • The 'Extra Action' button (currently used for the Solak encounter) has been repositioned to sit above the combat HUD. It will now move to account for the toggling of combat mode action bars.
    • The Ribbon Settings/Setup UI has been moved and tied to the game's main Settings interface as its own tab (users can still access the interface from the existing button located on the Custom Ribbon itself).
