Resizable mode is something that has been asked for by many Old School players for quite some time. Late last year, Mod Jacmob spent some time working on giving us the engine capabilities to make resizable mode a reality in Old School and we are now looking to deliver that update.

Old School RuneScape is currently fixed to one size. Resizable mode would allow the Old School game client to be expanded to fit the size of any window, giving you the option to make the game the size that best suits you.


It is worth noting that resizable mode does not allow players to see further into the distance. When using resizable mode, the distance at which players are visible will remain the same.

Resizable mode will have a new interface that will adapt to the size of the client. At this point we do not yet know exactly what this interface will look like, however we will be doing all we can to use existing elements from Old School to carry over the Old School feel to resizable. We will be providing screenshots of resizable mode and the interface throughout development.

In the future it will be possible for us to create new, different interfaces for resizable mode but, for now, we do not want to delay the release of resizable mode to create more styles of interfaces.

Of course, resizable mode will be toggleable . If you wish to continue playing with the same gameframe that you always have in Old School, you can simply choose to not enable resizable mode.

Question : Should we add resizable mode to Old School RuneScape? A toggle would be available to turn resizable mode on or off.

Slayer is the favourite skill of many Old School RuneScape players but it has never been something that is easy to enjoy with your friends. We would like to offer the ability to partner up with a player so you both receive the same slayer task.

When you and a friend do not have a slayer assignment, you will be able to partner up by one of you using a slayer gem on the other. Once the partnership is accepted, you will then both be assigned the same slayer task when talking to slayer masters.

Note : While you will be assigned the same slayer task, your tasks will be independent of each other. If a player has a task blocked and their partner receives it as a task, they will simply not be assigned a slayer task.

It will only be possible to share a slayer task if both you and your chosen partner are on the same world. Only slayer masters that you both have the requirements to use will be able to give you a shared task.

Question : Should we add the ability to pair up with another player, allowing you both to receive the same slayer task from a slayer master?

The serpentine helm is a popular piece of equipment for high level players. With some great stats and very useful effects, it is the best melee helmet in the game

The boss that is the source of the helmet, Zulrah, has three different appearances. Rotating between ranged, melee and magic, Zulrah changes appearance with each change of attack style. A common request has been to allow players to choose between three different appearances of the serpentine helm with each appearance resembling a different phase of Zulrah.

After seeing many requests for this, Mod Ghost got to work and has created two alternative styles of the serpentine helm. One resembling the tanzanite phase of Zulrah and one resembling the magma phase.


These two helmets will have the exact same stats and effects as the serpentine helm. They will only be different visually.

The helmets would be created by using tanzanite mutagen or magma mutagen which will be dropped by Zulrah. Tanzanite mutagen and magma mutagen are consumed in this process and cannot be retrieved.

Question : Should Zulrah drop tanzanite and magma mutagens, used to change the appearance of the serpentine helm to match the tanzanite and magma phases of Zulrah? This would not change the stats of effects of the serpentine helm.

In addition to making the lovely new serpentine helms, Mod Ghost has created some new animations for a few spells introduced with Achievement Diaries.

The new Lunar spells, tan leather and recharge dragonstone, are currently using recycled animations. Mod Ghost has made some brand new, unique animations for these spells.

He has also created an animation for the Fountain of Rune teleport that is unlocked after completing the hard wilderness achievement diary.
