Patch Week | Spirit Hunter Outfit

 

It's a quiet one this week, with no specific main game release. There's a hearty helping of fixes and tweaks in the patch notes, though, including a tidy-up of the Customisation and Gear interfaces. To find out more about the interface changes, see Mod Osborne's forum post.

 

Cosmetic fans are in for a treat with the Spirit Hunter outfit – available now in Solomon's Store. There's also news on what's new in the RuneScape community, including the latest on the Players' Gallery.

 

Read on to find out more!
