SRL Archive - RS has been updated.

does anyone know what this is about?

Most likely bug fixes/tweaks and some changes to make us actually work again :p

Or, the new anti bot software.

i hope its not the new software.

Probably that villager women who sells bolt tips to make new, strong bolts. I'm looking forward to that update. Infact, at this very moment I'm autoing my Fletching to 93 to make the bolts.

Lmao Flight, who uses the word autoing anymore :p
And yeah, it's Bakrimel bolts, can't wait to wreck Gano noobs with them.

2 days ago jagex posted in fb that the update would be the bloodwood tree and the bolts :P

Seems ranged will be good again for pk :D

Mami Rimba, a known associate of Papa Mambo, has developed the means to make lethal crossbow bolts from the terrible timber of bloodwood trees, which grow only in areas that have known death.

Three trees can be found deep within the Wilderness, and offer greater yields of logs the farther in they're found. Another three can be found in areas opened upon completion of high-level combat quests, but you won’t get as many logs from these as you will if you brave the Wilderness. You’ll need both 85 Woodcutting and 93 Fletching to make the bolts, as the logs (as well as unfinished bolts) are non-tradable and will disintegrate if taken too far from the tree, so they must be fletched nearby. Abilities or items that automatically bank logs (such as an imp-in-a-box) won’t work, either.

With a ranged strength of 125, these bolts pack a punch in PvE, but it’s in PvP against mages that their insidious power comes to the fore. When bakriminel bolts are equipped, the styles in your Combat Styles tab are replaced by three areas of your victim’s body that can be sought out by the bolts – head, torso and legs. Whichever of these you have selected, you’ll hit as hard and as fast as if you were using the rapid style of your crossbow, but if you’re targeting a player wearing mage armour (or no armour) in the corresponding slot, there’s also a chance to inflict a nasty status effect with each hit:

If you’re targeting your opponent’s head, you’ll have a 1 in 3 chance to slow their magic casting for the next 30 seconds. Hitting them again while the effect is still in place has the same chance to reduce their magic accuracy by a percentage proportional to the damage of the hit (not stackable).
Shots to the torso have a 1 in 4 chance to cause a bleeding effect, dealing 1 life point of damage per second for 60 seconds. Hitting the torso again while this effect is active has the same chance to add an extra point of damage per second for the remainder of the initial duration, up to a maximum of five.
A shot to the legs has a 1 in 3 chance of draining your opponent’s run energy in proportion to the damage dealt. If they’re low on run energy, a successful hit has the same chance to bind them to the spot for 10 seconds.
Bloodwood trees take some time to grow back once cut. What’s more, the bolts don’t drop to the floor once used, and can’t be collected by Ava’s equipment. It’ll take skill and courage to create these bolts for yourself, or the money to purchase a ready supply from others. Nevertheless, for the not-so-squeamish ranger with a wizard problem, these vicious bolts are just what the witch doctor ordered.

How to start:

Speak to Mami Rimba, just north-west of Edgeville.
Requirements:

Members only
Bloodwood trees can be found in only a few locations (Mami Rimba won’t let you use hers):
Next to the Chaos Altar.
South-west of the Demonic Ruins.
South of the Pirate Hideout.
The Ritual Plateau (after Ritual of the Mahjarrat)
Soul Wars (after Nomad’s Requiem)
Near the Darkmeyer Arboretum (after The Branches of Darkmeyer)
To create the bolts:
93 Fletching
85 Woodcutting
You must buy bolt tips from Mami Rimba, as these cannot be made separately.
Once you have cut the logs, you must fletch the bolt shafts and add the tips while remaining close to the tree. The logs or unfinished bolts will disintegrate if taken away.
To use the bolts:
80 Ranged
Rune or chaotic crossbow

The demand is gonna skyrocket.

They should rise, especially when people take their PK clans and just wait around the trees.

I'm gonna take a set of rune and claws and chill near the trees and kill pkers :d

wow im going to have to go to a Brazilian world to get my bolts just great.

Bolts selling instantly at 9k ea, and rising :p

I was told a mod verified that the spawn time on the trees is 6 hours.

with that spawn time lets expect the prices will stay insanely high

wow gay as ever i had 300bolts made then got pked 100k arrow heads with me. so i hate u jagex.

Bolts just won't buy on ge… got it set to 15k lol

Great, more overpowered weapons. Exactly what the game needed! /sarcasm

Edit* If they put the trees in the wilderness… IMO that could have helped the game out a ton. Put more useful resources in the wilderness!

Now they just now to release some new magic spell and the combat triangle will be stabe like it was :D
