28 August updates - slayer helmets!

Imbued & coloured slayer helmets have been added to the game!
Image
  • The regular Slayer Helmet now only gives up to +15% damage and accuracy bonus to melee (depending on your slayer streak), so it no longer offers a ranged or magic bonus
  • The Slayer Helmet (i) costs 1 regular Slayer Helmet and 700 Slayer Points and gives up to +15% damage and accuracy bonus to melee, ranged and magic (as our old Slayer Helmet used to give), along with +10 magic defence bonus (instead of -1), +3 magic attack bonus (instead of -6) and +3 ranged attack bonus (instead of -2), so it works just like OSRS and has the same stats. The Slayer Helmet (i) cannot be traded and turns into a regular Slayer Helmet + (90 - 300) Slayer Points when lost on death. You can disassemble it to reclaim 600 Slayer Points and the regular Helmet
  • Recolouring a Slayer Helmet costs 1 regular Slayer Helmet, a stuffed head of KBD, Abyssal Demons or KQ and 2500 Slayer Points (3200 Slayer Points for the imbued version). You can disassemble it to reclaim 2400 Slayer Points (or 3100 Slayer Points for the imbued version), the uncoloured, unimbued Helmet and the head. The coloured versions are purely cosmetic and offer no extra bonuses. They are also untradeable and turn into a regular Slayer Helmet + (360 - 1200) Slayer Points when lost on death (or 480 - 1600 Slayer Points when losing the imbued version)
Extra bonus: PK'ers can now gain Slayer Points by killing PVM'er that are risking an imbued or coloured Slayer Helmet!


A few more bugfixes
  • Fixed attackable NPC's spawning in a Player-Owned House while in building mode
  • Fixed permanent bans not getting lifted when a staff member uses the unban command. This bug was introduced yesterday with the bugfix for temporary punishments - sometimes fixing a bug introduces a new one. At least these are taken care of now
  • Fixed a bug that allowed players to transfer several items from Zulrah (such as the Serpentine Helmet, Toxic Blowpipe or Trident of The Swamp) from a regular account to an Ironman account by killing it in the wilderness
  • Ironman Mode players can now - just like regular players - claim PkHonor Points, Pest Control Points or Slayer Points from certain items when they die in PVM

Lastly, a small announcement to all players who won Slayer Points during the last Titan event: the tickets were unusable (staff was not aware of this at the time they made the rewards list), so I've hereby traded all the useless tickets on players their accounts for actual usable slayer points.

No pvmer in the world would risk the colored slayer helm anyway.

But meh, nerfs for slayer helm and bug fixes. It's something, I guess the colored version looks nice though.

It's not in our current client, so not yet, unless we were to either grab the model from some leaked OSRS cache or make our own recolour.

As of the 30 December 2016 update, we do have the ability to upgrade our client to a much more recent version of OSRS that has all their recently added NPC's, maps and items. However, it may take some time before we undertake a venture of such scale again, as there are always inconsistencies in a newer client that need to be resolved (a process that can take several weeks). Someday in the future though, most likely.

Can't you just dump the from the OSRS Cache yourself?
I believe it's quite easy with certain tools that've been released.
