This week's various updates include the wildstalker helmet and duellist's cap 'death hats', which track your Wilderness kills and Duel Arena victories, a graphical improvement for Draynor Village and Manor, plus a variety of small tweaks taken from player suggestions on the forums.

Death Hats


Laying down the smack in the Wilderness and defeating opponents in duels is all about the prestige (and money), right? So it's only natural to want to show off and demonstrate your ability to others. Well, free-players and members who wish to do so can visit Estocada at the Duel Arena to pick up a duellist's cap, and Mr Ex in Edgeville to receive a wildstalker helmet.

While snazzy looking in their own right, these hats will keep track of your skilful victories and unlucky defeats, but only while you are on a members' world. As your body count rises, your hats will morph into ever more impressive states, as will your ability to brag about your accomplishments with the emote each hat bears (after their first morphing).


While this does mean that you can only increase your stats and morph your hat while a member, lapsed members will still be able to wear their hats on free worlds, in whatever state and with whatever stats they had accrued as a member. Once you've got some victories under them, both hats also allow you to transform into a commemorative statue of yourself, which others may read for a summary of your endeavours, including (should you wish) your kill/death ratio and your all time most valuable kill in the Wilderness.

Good hunting.

Try finding a body that cares.

Spooooooky…

New stalls and what not

The bank is all new

No more 'Bank booth', instead we have 'Counter'. If our Uptext/ChooseOption uses 'BankBooth' then that'll need to be changed now as well.

Nobody still cares

Your body doesnt

Your mind wanted to respond.

Your mind cares but body doesnt.

No bodys dont care but minds do!!!

It almost reminds me of Deathknell from World of Warcraft. It's amazing how much RuneScape's graphics have advanced since the time I first started playing.

Yea that's something I noticed when running a willow cutter (which of course the banks didn't work now)

they're all dark green / brown instead of the old bank colors

Banking should be fixed as soon as someone commits it.

They need to change the entire world now.

I think so too, Draynor and the new trees stand out amongst the shitty graphics of all the other areas. They have been focusing a lot on graphics lately though, so I wouldn't doubt that they are working on a graphical update for the rest of the world.

Until RS has something we like to call a "sky," it will never be comparable to reality. IMO
It's ironic when any pub in RS has more atmosphere than the "outdoors". ;)
