Increased the effective range of the Ricochet ability against additional targets (previously it hit enemies within 4 squares of its attack, this is now 6) this change also affects the Caroming perk. Finally ricochet has parity with chain!

Resolved an issue where defensive abilities were not taken into account when calculating damage as the opponent died. I'm guessing this fixes the Ambassador issue that resulted in unfair and unavoidable deaths just because he started his barrage as he died.

Hot air balloons now use a charge system to travel. Higher tier logs count for more charges and up to 4000 charges can be stored by giving logs to the balloon assistants.

Balloon travel no longer has a inventory weight limit. Maybe this will actually see some use again now..I unlocked it completely ages ago but almost never used it again afterwards due to it being so inconvenient to use.

New 6th age ring/remora's necklace teleports are nice too. No need to use the lodestone for QBD or games necklace and light creatures for TDs now I guess.

I'm not seeing the new freedom camera mode. Where do I access/activate it?
Settings->Gameplay->General->Game interaction->Camera mode.

When might the Mining and Smithing Rework level unlocks be fixed ?
For many people, if you were passed a level before the rework, you didn't get all the lower level benefits after the change.

Several have been, at least at higher levels, might be worth detailing which ones still aren't working in a bug report and/or on the forums to raise awareness. I've only really looked at elder rune items (mostly working now I believe) and masterwork (which doesn't benefit from many levelling bonuses) since I got everything I needed and did the achievements requiring lower metals in the 1st few weeks.

There is a new camera mode - ''Freedom'', which allows for more extreme camera angles and zoom levels


Thanks for leaving us as much in the dark as we were when we read the News, then clicked the link for the detailed information.

You tell us we have a new camera mode, without telling us how to access it.

Another completely worthless enhancement. You can do this, but we won't tell you how.

CB555, Thanks for the reply! Absolutely digging the new camera... once I was able to find it... maybe I can spot them d&#^ed PKers before they can strike!

Sorting patch notes by category was a wonderful idea and I hope you keep it.

"Hot air balloons now use a charge system to travel. Higher tier logs count for more charges and up to 4000 charges can be stored by giving logs to the balloon assistants."

Speaking of things OSRS has had for years that RS3 desperately needs, how about that construction and bank rework? :P Headcanon Haven, where everything is made up and the points don't matter.

Amongst lots of good things this week, big & small, I was so happy to see this -

"The Treasure Hunter floating image has had some graphical changes"


So glad you went back to this that you had here for a short while previously :D

"The five firelighters (blue, green, red, purple & white) now have a 'Strike' option, when clicked a 5 minute buff is added to the player which will automatically consume any fire spirits that spawn (this can stack up to 60 minutes)."


Would love to see this added to seren spirits. The 30 second window is tough to catch sometimes when fishing, mining, etc. Not sure what item could be used as a consumable for this, but would be great to tie it into stone spirits while mining to give them a little more desirability.
