**New Quest - Rune Mechanics**

[Emmentail]

It's a novice quest. HAHA.

 

MINT CAKES ARE GOING DOWN.

 

"We've changed the gnome restaurant and associated shops in a few ways. Firstly, if you complete a delivery task, the food and cocktail ingredients shops will be restocked. Secondly, we've adjusted the rewards for the deliveries, so you're more likely to get better items such as mint cakes or seed pods. "

LOL.

I lol'd at this too :thumbup:

 

also:

We've added a feature to allow you to more easily reply to the last private message you received: just hit the ‘TAB’ key on your keyboard!

 

A very nice addition IMO.

 

# The bullroarer sound is no longer area based.

The Ring of Wealth

 

The ring of wealth's magical power can sometimes have an effect on the drops that you receive from defeated NPCs. To understand how it works, we first need to define some terms.

 

* 100% drop - Most creatures have what is called a '100% drop' which they will drop every time they are defeated (e.g. bones or ashes).

* Main drop - This will be an item drawn from an NPC's 'drop table' based upon a random 'roll' (imagine a dice roll or roulette wheel).

* Drop table - This is a list of all items that an NPC could possibly drop. The percentage chance of receiving each item varies depending upon the item's relative value.

* Secondary drop - Some creatures also have a secondary drop. So far, this only consists of charms used in Summoning.

* Quest drops - in some instances, an NPC will drop a quest-specific item (e.g. the unique bones required for the Rag and Bone Man or Fur 'n' Seek quests).

 

 

On most NPCs' drop tables, there is a small chance that instead of receiving an item from its own drop table, you will instead get a roll again on the 'rare drop table'. The rare drop table contains some of the more exclusive items in the game, including, but not limited to, dragon items, certain rune items, shield halves, key parts and uncut gems. The rare table also contains 'empty slots' - the end result of landing on these empty slots is often referred to as receiving 'no drop' or 'bone drop'. We keep these slots empty for any future drops that we want to add to this table.

 

The rare drop table is shared between a variety of NPCs - e.g. goblins, fire giants, most Slayer creatures. A good way to tell is that if an NPC is known to drop a half key, then it will drop other items from the rare drop table. There are, however, certain very rare drops that are not on the rare drop table, because they are specific to certain NPCs or NPC types (e.g. the draconic visage is only ever dropped by dragons; godsword pieces only by the God Wars Dungeon bosses) and it would not make sense for these items to be dropped by, say, a fire giant.

 

The ring of wealth comes into play whenever you are rolling on the rare drop table, its ability effectively removing most of the empty slots, drastically increasing your chances of receiving an item from the rare drop table. The actual percentage increase differs between NPCs. Adventurers who make regular use of a ring of wealth should find that they receive fewer 'no drops' than adventurers who do not, and, therefore, receive more rare drops and, in the long run, gain more wealth.

 

[DarkDude]

Ring of wealth is useless then as it doesn't effect drops such as Whip/Visage etc.

Oh no a typo, let's kill them because no one ever makes typos.

[Racheya]

Tbh I am very disappoint :(

 

I think this isn't it for the week though. This would have been last week's update - therefore this weeks should hopefully still come tomorrow.

 

I lol'd at the Mint Cakes though :D

[bored321]

Hmm, my client is kinda messed up....

 

[Guthorm]

I wish I am at home...I would get a bunch of popcorns and start refreshing the rs forum page every few seconds to watch the lulz that will be going on. Cabbage is going to go down today XD

[TipIt]

Seems as though everyone's favorite worlds were reset

Oh no a comment, let's flame them because no one ever makes comments.

And to give you something else to whine about, they spelled Penance Penanace.

[gspbeetle]

Oh noes...mint cake are easier to get!???

Everyone, get rid of you mint cake, like naoooo!!!!

 

Oh well, it doesnt matter actually, it will still serve as meduim of exchange, just like those expensive swords and amour.

[timmmmm83]

Everyone sitting on a bunch of overinflated items, fear Jagex...

 

Good job, now crash the rest of the overpriced, useless items.

[Zepheras]

Great update in every way! :thumbsup:

 

Although, I'm thinking that none of these four updates was the one that was delayed earlier. They might have pushed it further back, but pulled some of the smaller stuff meant for future weeks all into this week to compensate for the lack of update last week.

 

 

And...while reading the sticky for the double runes on the RSOF, I saw this post on page 3.

I don't runecraft. This is four updates that don't mean crap to me.

I remember seeing this username before on Tipit, but I can't seem to remember who is it...... Troll + Tipit User doesn't seem right to me :blink:

[Orc]

Not the biggest updates but all good ones tbh. Orb sounds quite fun, doubt i'l use it much though, higher trade limit is always welcome, a new quest to burn 30 mins, and an update to please high lvl RC'rs, good week overall.
