RuneCraft Update + Tweaks & Rune Shop Changes Posted by Catatifish

Todays updates introduce a number of tweaks to the RuneCrafting skill.
Firstly we have introduced a new craftable tiara, which can be combined with any Rune Talisman of your choice to create an enchanted Tiara that can be worn in your helmet slot, and which will allow you to enter the appropriate temple simply by left clicking on it, rather than the normal method of using a talisman on the temple.
Tiaras to get to the temples currently accessible by free players are all available to make on free worlds. Tiaras can be made using silver bars with a furnace and a Tiara mould (which are available from crafting stores) and are made using the crafting skill.
Secondly, we have introduced a number of new "combination runes" for members, that can only be obtained by RuneCrafting existing runes together at Rune altars. More details on how to do this are available on our manual page for RuneCrafting.
As this is a process that can involve failure in producing runes, we have also added a new type of necklace (the necklace of binding) which can be made by enchanting an emerald necklace and will allow a perfect binding rate for a limited number of uses.
Finally, we have added a Zamorakian mage to the members worlds who will assist RuneCrafters who have done the Rune Mysteries Quest with a potentially dangerous, yet also potentially faster method of RuneCrafting, but you might first have to do a little favour for him...
This Zamorak Mage can be found by the mouth of the river just North of Edgeville, and also functions as an 'emergency' rune shop for those uninterested in RuneCrafting.
Other Game Tweaks
Castle wars has been altered so that players cannot take ANYTHING into the game that is not:
# a) Wearable.
# b) A potion.
# c) A rune.
Players are reminded that stocks of bandages etc are stored in the castles spawn room.
It is now also impossible to cast the alchemy spells in the castlewars area.
We have also changed the behaviour of Paladins so that they should now be more aware of players thieving from various stalls nearby.
We noticed that rune shops were restocking very slowly, so it was difficult to buy runes from them except immediately after the worlds had been rebooted.
We have therefore increased the respawn rate of the shops so that people have a better chance to buy runes from them at any time. This means we have been able to decrease the number of runes in a shop straight after reboot, yet overall have significantly more runes entering the game via shops.
Now runes will be much more fairly distributed amongst people who like to play at different times of day. Since this means that there will now be considerably more runes entering the game through the shops, we have increased the shop prices of the runes to be closer to the prices players generally charge for them.

The theme this month is "Random updates" since there is no real connecting theme between all the cool stuff released this month - aside from the theme of "Crikey, this is great!" of course.
First off you can now start collecting seeds in preperation for next months farming skill. We thought it would be a good idea to release a few of the raw materials this month so you can prepare your green fingers for a spot of planting and weeding for the full release of Farming in July.
Seeds can be found through use of the woodcutting and thieving skills, as well as stalls to shop from and NPC's who drop tools. Don't worry, the bank of Varrock and all its branches will have extra space for members to store their new finds. Players will be able to find these seeds through a variety of new methods, starting in Draynor Village market.
Also, this month will bring a large update to the Runecrafting skill. We don't want to give too much away just yet, but it will provide new ways to create and carry your runes and will offer an entirely new route to get to the appropriate temples. Although the bulk of the update will be for our members, our free players will also notice a few new items to assist with rune creation.
New accounts will also reap the benefits of some helpful guides in the game. Lumbridge will see the addition of the Lumbridge guide who will offer useful advice to new players, and will welcome two new helpful chaps who will help new players find quests and things to do.
New challenges await our more sneaky and skulking players in the form of the "Rogues Den". Can you pit your wits against the challenges that await?
Also, a new quest coming this month will introduce the Temple Knights, founded by Saradomin centuries ago. Puzzle fans and those who enjoy pushing their logical thought to the max will be particularly interested in this short but taxing update.
We will also be introducing more NPC vs NPC combat this month. Although this will be a small addition to the game at the moment, we are planning to introduce more warring monsters in the future.

Start Collecting Seeds In Preperation For July's Farming Update
A new farmers market has appeared in Draynor Village next to Diango the toy seller. Members can buy the seeds needed for the upcoming farming skill, which will be released in July. Players with sufficient thieving levels can also pickpocket the master farmers and steal from the stalls themselves. Other characters in the game may also drop various farming tools.
Players chopping down trees will also notice the odd nest tumbling down from the branches. These nests appear randomly for woodcutters (in a similar way to gems appearing when you are mining) and may contain useful items, including farming seeds.
Helpful new NPC's
A new guide character has also arrived in Lumbridge. Appropriately named the Lumbridge Guide, he is there to help less experienced players who would like some additional information about the game. He can give tips and reminders on where to go to make money, fight monsters or simply find the bank. He'll also gives some handy hints on things such as avoiding scams and keeping your password safe.
He stands just outside the Lumbridge castle, holding a large staff with a question mark on the end and carrying a rucksack full of scrolls.
If you go to Lumbridge and look for a question mark icon on your minimap you should find him. There are also two other new characters wandring around Lumbridge called Donnie and Gee who can give some advice to new players on which quests to try. In other news, a Wise Old Man has moved into a disused house in Draynor Village. He's been exploring the world and studying its history for many years, and is happy to share his knowledge with any passing adventurer. He'll even help you identify a few useless items from old quests that you might still have in your bank. Members may offer to do a few simple tasks for him, for a suitable reward of course!
Increased Bank Space
In anticipation of the upcoming Farming skill and the release of these new seeds, we have provided an extra two lines of bank space for our members to make use of.
Various Tweaks
The Pollnivneach general store now functions as a normal general store.
The Make-over Mage, Falador Hairdresser and Thessalia's clothes shop in Varrock are all still free for makeovers, but this is for a limited time only.
There have also been some slight changes to the Khazzard battlefield. We highly recommend you take a look.

We are aware that everyone has different tastes and that while some might prefer the new female models, others might be equally disappointed with their new appearance.
As a result of these changes, we are allowing you to experiment with costume and female equipment by making the Makeover Mage (west of Falador), Hairdresser (Falador) and Thessalia (Varrock clothes shopkeeper) free for this week.
Hopefully this will give you time to play about with the new look, and find a combination you like.
All of the changes made were due to player feedback. As usual, if we find that we haven't got it perfect the first time we are prepared to change the models to meet popular opinion, so there may be some degree of change.
Please remember, if you are going to comment about the changes, please do so in a civil and constructive way.
We are always happy to hear your opinions about the game, as our goal here is as always to get graphics that everyone is happy with.
