18 July Updates: Cache update, Basilisk knights, client hotkeys, donator item sale
Posted: Sat Jul 18, 2020 2:07 pm
After a couple of bugfixes and a whole lot of struggling with broken animations, I'm glad to finally release yet another cache update. This will allow us to add the latest OSRS content, including the Nightmare of Ashihama and the Gauntlet minigame, in future updates.
I'd like to thank everyone who participated in the bughunter contest, whether you managed to find bugs or not. The final ranking is as follows:
#1 Donut man1 (Luky911): 10 points - wins 10,000 donator credits
#2 Thierryu1 (Thierryu1): 9 points - wins 5,000 donator credits
#3 Bzink00 (Bzink00): 2 points - wins 3,000 donator credits
#4 Joepie (Joep): 1 point - wins 2,000 donator credits
There may still be some things that don't work properly; broken animations, NPC's that are in the wrong place or objects that you cannot interact with. If you find anything that doesn't work (but used to work before), please let us know so we can fix it as quickly as possible.
This update is more than just a mere cache update though. Considering the bughunter contest was still ongoing and this new feature is a rather small one, I decided to go ahead and include Basilisk knights in this update already!
These monsters can be found in Jormungand's Prison (monsters teleport) and require a slayer level of 60 to kill. Their most notable drop is the Basilisk jaw, which can be combined with a helm of Neitiznot to create a Neitiznot faceguard, the helmet with the highest strength bonus in the game. Both the jaw and faceguard can be freely traded. The faceguard requires a defence level of 70 to wear, along with a list of skills to mimic the requirements of the Fremennik Exiles quest in OSRS (as polled here):
On top of that, there are also two additional client-sided features included in this update.
As of now, you can use "Ctrl - v" to paste the contents of your computer's pastebuffer into your chatbox. So for example you can copy a link in your browser and paste it into your chatbox, instead of having to type the full URL.
Secondly, you can now use "Shift - up arrow" and "Shift - down arrow" to cycle through your own chat history, enabling you to easily re-type one of your last messages. This history can store up to 1,000 messages.
Last of all, we are also organizing a time-limited rare item sale in our donator store. Starting today at 4PM UTC until Monday 27 July at 4PM UTC, the following three items are being sold:
20 Demon Kiteshields for 150,000 donator credits each (same stats and requirements as a DFS, but without passive effect or special attack)
20 pairs of Flippers for 100,000 donator credits each (no stats)
20 White magic staffs for 75,000 donator credits each (same stats as the white staff in OSRS)
This sale is both stock-limited and time-limited. No more than 20 of each of these items can be sold, and they will only be sold for 9 days starting in a few hours.
The sale ends in:
There is also one permanent addition to the donator store: a gilded scimitar being sold for 25,000 donator credits each. This scimitar has the same stats as a rune scimitar.
And a couple of other minor additions to the server:

- The stats of the Ava's accumulator have been fixed, it now grants +4 magic defence bonus instead of +4 ranged defence bonus.
- You can now purchase skeletal gloves and boots in the fancy dress shop on premium island.
- The stats of the skeletal helm, top and bottom have been fixed and they now require a defence and magic level of 40 to equip.
