New tasks, new bosses and a bunch of new items! The biggest part of this update is the new Valley of the Gods boss, Mesines. Most of the new content in this update is in some way connected to it, either in the form of equipment or necessary preparations. Preparing to successfully fight Mesines takes a considerable amount of time, but if you commit and succeed, you'll have a chance of finding Otherworldly ore, which is used to create new Otherworldly armour with the smithing skill. Also, as was was forecasted, completionist capes now require the Exterminating skill as well. You'll be unable to equip existing completionist capes if you don't meet the Exterminating level requirement for them. Onto the patch notes! Exterminating Exterminating mastery capes have been released. Fighting your Exterminating assignments will raise your damage output by 6%, 12%, 18% and 24% respectively when equipped Exterminating enchantments have been added. Similar to mastery capes, they also boost your damage output against active assignments. Boosts are 1.5%, 3% and 5% for Common, Rare and Exceptional enchantments Exterminating crates can now be purchased with Exterminating points or found from Exterminating demi-bosses.

Best-in-slot melee strength Reckoning of the Gods changes Monsters can now drop the Otherworldly gem You now have a low chance of plundering basilisk and Astronomical gear Warrior belt was appearing more often than it should have A new tab was added to the bottom of the activity list, called "Item creation" The goal of this tab is to have a single place for all miscellaneous item creation tasks that have versatile requirements The Primeval fangblade, Divine hide buckler and Naga's blessed crown tasks were moved from the Smithing page to this tab Smaller changes One of my personal favourites, pressing the small button next to the "Activities" text on the left no longer opens a popup displaying available activities. Instead, it'll show activities below in a compact way so that you can see all available activities at once without needing to scroll. This setting is remembered and persists between sessions To better control the currently massive influx of chests of all types and to return to their original goal of being items that you have to obtain via skilling, you no longer receive any chests from Reckoning of the Gods and no Exceptional chests from combat. Common and rare chests are still available via combat for enchantments to not be too big of a drag early game The Valley of the Gods bosses now drop less gold than before. Their drop tables are already lucrative and we should aim to decrease gold influx where we can Brewing tasks were slightly visually modified to be more compact and fit more item costs Loot is now aggregated when opening multiple chests to reduce the amount of item entries you have to look at Items powerful against specific monsters now display their damage boost percentage in their item description Items in the Item creation tab can no longer be produced in double with Smithing gloves Kronos' book was renamed to Book of Kronos Attempting to enter Kronos' lobby without a Book of Kronos now gives a more informative error message about obtaining said books Received clan credits from Skilling party is now multiplied by amount of tickets used Sobek kill count now counts towards RotG entry requirement Potato seeds were replaced with Tomato seeds in the Ancient tribe drop table Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where auto exterminating would cause your loot info to be inflated visually as your kills and loot were getting incorrectly multiplied You're now able to interact with chests even if your inventory is full Fixed a few items not being sorted correctly in the inventory The item info popup when hovering quest item requirements no longer goes as far away
