Pirkka Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Loyalty comes with a reward this week, as we unveil the latest batch of Members Loyalty Programme items! So, if you are yet to sign up to the programme, please click here or visit the RuneScape homepage (select "Members Loyalty Programme" from the Account drop-down menu). There is something for everyone with this fresh batch, and the auras are no exception. We can proudly reveal the upgraded auras, which improve the abilities of auras that you may have purchased from the first batch. Got a Sharpshooter aura? Purchase a Greater Sharpshooter aura, and your ranged accuracy bonus increases from 3% to 5%. The majority of existing auras are now available to upgrade (you will need to purchase the original aura before you can buy the upgraded one). We’ve even taken the opportunity to revise the Poison Purge aura, which heals you when you get poisoned, rather than preventing the damage. It’s also clear, from the auras you’re using, that combat auras are a firm favourite, so we’ve obliged with a few more. Equilibrium reduces your max hit by 25% but increases your min hit by the same amount; Inspiration refills your special attack bar with each successful hit; Vampirism converts a portion of the damage you deal into life points; and Penance refills prayer points whenever you’re damaged. If combat’s not your (punch)bag, then there are five skill-based auras available. There’s the Resourceful aura which, when you would normally deplete a woodcutting or mining resource, will instead offer a 10% chance that it will not deplete. Thieving gets the Five Finger Discount aura; Mining gets the Quarrymaster aura; and Lumberjack is – unsurprisingly – the Woodcutting aura. Finally, the Wisdom aura is for the big spenders; it may cost an eye-watering 40,000 loyalty points, but it increases all experience gained by 2.5% for 30 minutes every 24 hours. For information on new and existing auras, click here. Beyond the auras are four new costume types. Theatrical gear, pharaoh outfits, cheongsams or changshans (depending on gender), and silken outfits are available as sets to purchase. We also offer the ability to purchase recolours of your gnome scarves, lunar equipment and staves of light. Emote fiends can select from six new ones, with a personal favourite being Disappear, which makes you feel like a ninja. For information on new outfits, recolour options and emotes click here. There are two discounts available for a limited time, so opportunists should grab the half-price saxon outfit and dervish outfit. While you’re there, you’ll likely notice the revised Members’ Loyalty Programme store, which gives you an attractive and intuitive layout from which you can make your purchases. As has been mentioned previously, the number of loyalty points you receive per month will increase, depending on how many consecutive months of membership you have had without a break. Further details of how this works can be found in the Loyalty Programme FAQ. Mod Rathe RuneScape Content Developer In other news... It seems Xuan’s store has been successful, as another one has popped up in Varrock! Travel to Varrock Square to browse at your convenience from our second Loyalty Store. You may notice some changes to your emotes interface, as well as certain Clan Citadel interfaces this week. This is to prepare for clans who are reaching Tier 5 of their Citadels very soon. At Tier 5, clans will be able to get access to the Clan Theatre, which comes with a number of emotes that you can view early from the emote interface. The Head Guard in a clan citadel can now be used as a banker, and the box of capes next to the Battlemaster now works as a bank chest. Activities such Fletching and alchemy are no longer prevented in citadels. Patch notes: Graphical Cave walls in Senliten’s tomb were misaligned.

Spotty capes now render correctly with POH workbenches. A hanging pirate in Lunar Isle has been updated. The polar camouflage kit now draws correctly.

Bane ore now works with urns. The quest rewards for Ritual of the Mahjarrat are now accurate. Zemouregal’s notes no longer refer to Hazeel being restored by his cult if you have prevented this. The gate of Menaphos, is no longer labelled as the gate of Sophanem. The dwarven army axe works on trees in the Mountain Daughter quest. Characters in Lucien’s house now have different chat according to Lucien’s status after Ritual of the Mahjarrat. The Akrisae armour set now has the correct quest requirement listed in the pre-purchase info. Arrav now retaliates correctly in Ritual of the Mahjarrat. The inconsistency about whether boosted stats worked in parts of Ritual of the Mahjarrat has been fixed. Minigames & Distractions You now get a message when you become eligible to use the experienced challenge rooms in the Burthorpe Games Room. Timers such as the prayer points drain are now paused during matches in the Burthorpe Games Room. Teleporting from the tight-rope in the Circus no longer messes with your model. Some text on Wizard Elriss’ rewards interface has been changed. Baskets of strawberries no longer confuse your follower in Temple Trekking. The Prayer Renew timer is now stopped when entering a Duel Arena match. Miscellaneous The bottom-most item in the Grand Exchange’s list of item sets now responds to clicking. Rank tooltips in chat channels in the lobby no longer appear in the wrong places. Prayer point restoration messages in Daemonheim are now correct. The standard stat-restoration potion now restores the Prayer stat. Spelling and grammar fixes for various messages. The Superheat Item and Plank Make spells now interrupt the Home Teleport spell.

Blyaunte Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 First post: :-P *ahem* Oh em GEE! New Clothes!!! *ahem* Is it just me, or do the costs of these Tier 2 Aura's not reflect the 2% increase (to 5%) over those same Tier 1 auras? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peronix Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 2.5% for a half hour is pathetic anyway. If you're thinking about using it for a buyable skill, it won't make much of a dent in the overall cost. None of these new auras really appeal to me. Still waiting for 15k points so I can be Count Vlad Dracula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet more buyable extra xp :roll: The next tier of that aura is permanent 2.5% xp. Most of the tier 2/3 aura's look useful in one way or another, guess were going to have to wait for people to work out exactly how useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet more buyable extra xp :roll: Saw this as well, and I assumed it meant GP, not actual money. To be honest though, if someone wants to buy that much membership for 30 minutes worth of a 2.5% increase every 24 hours. In my opinion, that is not worth it. But yes, they are making RuneScape a buyable game, despite claiming not to be doing that. Sigh. POH Agility Course, Please Support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean that this armour actually HAS a quest requirement to use it? :unsure: Arrav now retaliates correctly in Ritual of the Mahjarrat. Retaliates "correctly"?

Sinkhan Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I tested out the Stat-restore potion and it doesn't actually give prayer points, which I had hoped for. Oh well. I'll probably just save up for the Greater Reverence Aura. Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayc3399 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Just some quick math for anyone interested, the spec restore aura with a crapier restores 22.5% spec bar every 30 seconds instead of the standard 10%, Darts & knives on rapid restore 35%, is it just me or does that seem like a lot of claw specs?

jayc3399 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Another bit of quick math, to buy all the available auras, it takes 2 years and 7 months of continuous membership.

I think it's a knee-jerk reaction to the idea that, after paying for 4-5 months of membership, AND saving up roughly 4-5 months of loyalty points, you can get a [sarcasm]whopping[/sarcasm] 2.5% boost to your XP rate for a whole half hour per day, is akin to "buying" massive amounts of more XP ... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one won't be buying that aura any time soon. EDIT: If you want to look at summoning, with Geyser Titans, you save 36 blue charms per day.

Quyneax Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 It seems inspiration will restore .2% special per hit not per damage, which means you'll restore 7.5*.2 = 1.5% special per 30 seconds extra at 100% accuracy and a 4 tick weapon. Vampirism and penance are/seem quite powerful, I can see them being used. Especially solo god wars, where you can rely on soul split to heal between kills, altar to restore prayer etc. they can cut a significant amount off the potions you need. Equilibrium + Storm of Armadyl is 221 - 228 base hit? Aka guaranteed 360s? Korasi's specials hitting 200-600 normally now hit 350-450? I'm not sure it's useful but it seems like this could be unavoidable KOs. Other auras are lame. No greater knock-out for me :(.
