Todays updates - 9 April 2016
Updated on 9 April 2016
> We've removed the Grand Exchange tax as a means of making the GE more user-friendly and easier to understand for newcomers. We're well aware that this means one less money sink, but the amount of coins in the economy isn't exactly a problem. We may re-add the tax later on if we believe it's necessary, but at least for now you get to enjoy one of the best Grand Exchange systems in RSPS without the annoyance of tax
> The Pkhonor and Help clan channels have been merged into one (Pkhonor). Helpers and mods can still be in the Pkhonor CC and another CC at the same time. This should make communication between players and staff easier and make it easier for new players to get help from others.
> Giant Mole claws are now stackable and you can use them directly on a Giant Mole to stop it from burrowing, without needing to have a pair of claws equipped (one Giant Mole claw will be consumed in the process). Unlike when used with a pair of equipped claws, using it directly will not poison the Mole.
> The occult Necklace now has +24 magic attack bonus instead of +0, but its maximum hit bonus has been lowered to +20% (used to be +22%). The +12 prayer bonus remains unaffected.
This makes it the amulet with the highest magic accuracy and bonus maximum hit in the game (the accuracy bonus is the same as an Arcane Blast necklace, the max hit bonus is the same as an Arcane Pulse necklace).
> All in-game occult necklaces have been replaced with occult orbs and the Thermonuclear Smoke Devil now drops occult orbs instead of occult necklaces
> In order to create an occult necklace, you now need to combine an occult orb with an Arcane Pulse necklace, an Arcane Blast Necklace and an Arcane Stream necklace, requiring a crafting and magic level of 99.
> Mods can now teleport players within the skilling center
> Fixed a bug that allowed Ironman Mode players to obtain extra Barrows chest rewards through the risky Barrows minigame

Looks like a good bunch of updates Mike, thanks! Little nervous bout how the GE will affect eco, but I'm sure you've got it under control
Glad to see you're well enough to do some updates!

Clan merge sounds good, it always was confusing for new comers.
