12-Oct-2010 - Make-X Improvements and Low-level Combat Changes

 

Many of the Make-X menus in the game have been redesigned. The new version doesnt require you to right-click to choose Make-X or Make-All. Also, wherever the new menu offers Make-X, it also offers Make-All, so you wont have to keep typing the same numbers manually. Some of the newly introduced Make-All options include smelting ores, fletching bows and crossbow stocks, and other such popular skill activities.

 

Weve also added a couple of new ranged and magic options for low-level players. Rangers might like to get hold of the new sling weapon, which doesnt need any ammunition to use, and mages should give the new level 1 Wind Rush spell a try as it only requires air runes to cast or free with a staff of air equipped. Slings are dropped by creatures in the Lumbridge Catacombs (and Kayles bow has instead now become Kayles sling).

 

Finally, a handful of low-level monsters in the free-to-play area including giant rats, giant spiders and goblins have been rebalanced to be more interesting for new players to fight, which has been made possible by the changes made to life points earlier this year. Theyll also provide handy target practice for the new slings and spell.

If youre a practised hunter with a passion for Summoning, youll be able to turn your skills to good use and bag some handy rewards in the process, with this new Hunter skill update (for players of level 72+).

 

The Taverley druids constant forays into the Spirit Realm have had an unforeseen impact on RuneScape. Invisible creatures, which are actually the power contained within charms, are spilling out into our world. Yaktwee Swinmari Cianta, aged gnome hunter and self-proclaimed jack-knife-of-all-trades, expounds the virtues of staying in shape by capturing these pesky little critters, more commonly referred to as charm sprites.

 

Doing so requires the keen eyes of experienced hunters to spot when these creatures are in the area, honed reactions to target and reveal the critters, and cool, calculated aiming in order to capture them as they rush to get away! The more charm sprites you manage to capture, the more Summoning charms youll earn.
