Update [OSRS Update] 30th April 2015 - Mutagens, Mo & Much More

[Arceus]

As you may have noticed this board doesn't get so much activity, so I'm going to post update threads as we do for RuneScape 3 weekly with the hope of getting some more discussion going :). Of course anyone else who is willing to do so should free to post it if it's not up - just try not to make duplicates and take care to format it to make it readable  ;). 
 

This week's update is here and looking good for Old School with several new visual additions as well as a visitor from overseas.

 
Zulrah Mutagens

Players brave enough to take on Zulrah now have a chance of receiving a couple of new drops from the venomous beast: Tanzanite and magma mutagens. These mutagens can be used with serpentine helms to create the magma helm and tanzanite helm, two cosmetic variations of the serpentine helm. Neither the mutagens or mutated helmets are tradeable.

 

These helmets carry the exact same stats and effects as the serpentine helm. The change is purely cosmetic. If you see someone wandering around with one of these lovely looking things on their head you can be sure that they've put some time in killing that pesky snake.
 
New Spell & Teleport Animations

Mod Ghost has made some lovely new animations for a few of the spells unlocked as rewards from achievement diaries. The Fountain of Rune teleport, tan leather spell and recharge dragonstone spell have all received new animations.

 
Improved Teleport Tab Graphics

Ancient teleport tabs and redirected house teleport tablets have been given a bit of a makeover in order to make the different types of teleport tablets more distinct. You can now recognise ancient teleport tabs by the purple rings around the letter on the tablets and the redirected house teleports by the letter now added to the tablets.

 
Additional Diary Rewards

As voted for in content poll 32, players that have completed the Varrock medium achievement diary can now toggle their Varrock teleport to take them just south of the Grand Exchange. The destination of the teleport can be toggled by right-clicking the teleport in the spellbook tab and selecting 'Destination'.

In addition to this, the ropes used to access the Kalphite Queen will stay permanently for players that have completed the elite desert achievement diary.
 
Big Mo's May

Throughout May you might find yourself bumping into Big Mo. Big Mo is a businessman and salesman from overseas who has decided to take a trip around the map between May 1st and May 31st in an effort to get his hands on some interesting and valuable wares.

He is in need of your help. After an unfortunate series of events involving faulty dragon claws, Big Mo's brother is no longer able to help him with the day-to-day running of his business. This leaves Big Mo with some tasks and items that he is unable to follow up on. In particular, clue scrolls.

Once per day throughout May, if you can track down Big Mo, he will be willing sell you a clue scroll for a very reasonable price. There is no guarantee of what tier clue scroll he may sell you, but the more you visit him throughout the month the more likely it will be that he has the tier that you are looking for.

Big Mo will arrive in Varrock on May 1st and will be found somewhere different around the map each day. He can be quite a difficult man to track down so there will be some hints on the Old School Twitter a few hours after he moves each day.

Glad they made the helms untradeable as to not make Zulrah more money/hr

Interesting though... been awhile since I played OSRS so might give it a try again. Would love to try out an elite clue..

Yep, and people going for the untradeable helms and killing it more will inevitably drive down prices :XD:.
