All 4 tiers of the 'Tracker' aura are now 30% off!
We've rebalanced the Runespan to give the greatest rewards to those who actively seek to get the most out of the content. Those hunting down the best nodes and participating in the D&Ds will now enjoy the highest XP and point returns available:
Point gain from siphoning from creatures has been reduced.
Nodes move more often, and take longer to respawn once depleted.
Siphoning from runespheres now yields twice the rune dust that it did before. There's also a mouse-over tooltip on the runesphere icon, revealing which floor it's on.
The XP gain from handing in rune dust has been increased to 25 XP per dust.

Bank space:

t is with great pleasure that I present to you the bank booster; the latest item available solely from Solomon’s General Store!

It is in an adventurer’s very nature to hoard the many rewards of their quests. Each and every item tells a story of victory; of courage over adversity; of triumph! But alas, space is at a premium for storing these numerous trinkets and treasures…

At last, there is a solution!

Simply purchase the Bank Booster +50 from my store and, the next time you log in, take a moment to inspect your bank. You’ll observe that an additional 50 spaces have become available to you! This marvellous item works in exactly the same manner for members and non-members. Indeed, up to 5 bank boosters can be purchased from my boutique, totalling 250 fantastic additional bank spaces, available to all!

What’s more, in consideration of our most loyal adventurers, in the coming weeks the bank booster will also be available not only from my boutique, but also from the Loyalty Shop.

If you’ve yet to visit my establishment, why not drop in and receive 200 RuneCoins absolutely free? Remember that if you wish to purchase additional RuneCoins, you can do so here or by clicking ‘Buy RuneCoins’ inside my store. Don’t forget that I offer a 10% discount to all members!

Until next time.

God damn!!!

Hunter just got huge - members of all levels can now hunt plutonial chinchompas in an all-new co-operative D&D, with rewards including access to private hunting spots, skilling ingredients and a wieldable cosmetic item.

Nyriki Tapio is a gnome on a mission to hunt the biggest of game - plutonial chinchompas! These rare beasts exist in isolated habitats, and have just one weakness: food!

Nyriki will show up periodically at hunting spots across Gielinor and ask for your help in capturing one of these ravenous rodents. Once you've met him, he'll take you to the chinchompa's lair. When inside, you'll need to capture soporith moths - the chinchompa's food of choice - and feed them to the chinchompa in its nest. Once its belly's full and its cheeks can hold no more, the beast will fall into a slumber, and victory will be yours!

You'll get XP for feeding moths to the chinchompa - which are found flying around the cave, in shaking branches covered in pupae, and attracted by brandishing one of the protea flowers native to the chinchompa's habitat - as well as an increase in your score. Higher-level moths yield greater rewards, so be sure to grab the best ones that you can.

The game ends after 20 minutes, or when the chinchompa falls asleep. When you leave, you'll be awarded competence points, which can be spent on rewards at Mieliki's store in the Tree Gnome Stronghold. If you leave before the game ends, however, you can still visit Mieliki's store to trade in your current point total.

Best among these rewards are tickets, each granting you a catch at the Tapios' private hunting grounds. Grenwalls, pawyas and polar kebbits (a high-level version, needing box traps) are all yours for the hunting. You can even invite your friends, using a communications device within the hunting grounds. Other rewards include snape grass, flax, swamp toads, and a cosmetic protea flower, wieldable outside the D&D.

Nyriki can't do it without you, so let the fur fly!

Was great until it lasted :/
At least I reached steem 1 o:

Now…I want to take a look at the new Hunter Update :)<

edit: There's already one thread about this. You were 1 minute late :p

Beat me by a minute. Gonna have to try this hunter thing, but the bank booster seems like a rip off. Bank spaces have always been rewarded to all members, and now all of a sudden paying members have to pay for more?

Add these instead of quotes.

Yeah same here..

haha nope I'm one min before hehe

Well the nerfing seems to only affect the creatures you siphon, and they also said that the nodes move quite faster now, so i think maybe just giving priority to the nods would be a way to increase the exp per hour

Go figure, S U O M I gets 200m in RCing, they nerf RCing. Wait until he gets 200m farming + Hunter + Firemaking. Those three will be nerfed.

Hmm when will it start selling inv slots?

While this is true, it still seems like an odd coincidence to me.

Maybe I should have trained before the nerf. Whatever, time doesn't matter when botting.
The bank space thingy is a total ripoff, I wonder how much it costs.
The hunter thing is kinda nice, because botters most likely can't reach the areas, so legits can have some fun. Though it looks like nobody will be able to participate in the dd unless they do kebbits or something, because it's impossible to hunt right now.

Ad hoc ergo propter hoc

I can actually understand them adding bank space to the Solomon's store. The reason that we have limited bank space in the first place is that each slot in a bank takes up space on their servers. Giving people unlimited space isn't feasible.

Edit: Forgot to mention, just because I understand the logic, I don't agree with it. They are now officially selling in game advantages in the store.

Fk runespan nerf!
More bankspace is cool though, I hope it doesn't cost too much loyality points…

costs 378 runecoins w/member discount

HAH! Am i happy I've been doing runespan for the last 3 weeks and got my 99 RC last week!

Runespan isn't nerfed… it's just a little less xp. Jagex should have done this sooner.
Runespan is, in my opinion, quite unfairly equated xp rates to other skills.
At level 1, it takes about 10 seconds to gain a level up to 5 and then its around 30 seconds per level till 10.
One could get level 50 in 2 days using a script found on the forums.

Ouch, another step backwards. Selling bank slots and making the Runespan less rewarding. I remember when something like this would have upset a bunch of people, but really is it surprising now?

On another note I'll be looking forward to seeing the AlKharid update; an upgrade to Runescape that we don't have to pay for to enjoy. These are rarities now. :(

Got 50 RC on 4 accounts in a day(a few hours actually). Played on 2 simultaneously for their first hours, used a script for the rest.

I really hope Runespan isn't nerfed too much. :( Still got a bit to go.

yay runespan update <3

to buy all 5 bank spaces you need to spemd 49,99$ worth of points.
So lame.

The Runespan was due for a nerf. They took one of the most difficult to level skills, more than doubled the xp rates at all levels, and made it extremely afkable. They went from one extreme to the other.

imo, they should of nerfed it 2 week after it came out

damn, Wish I didn't stop at 92 rc =/

Making it AFKable was perhaps going too far, but imagine getting 99 RC legit, even at the ZMI altar. It would have been awful.

There is no logic. Even if you had all possible items in your bank, the storage would just increased by few bytes per player.

The increased server costs (if the servers even notice such a little increase of bytes) are not proportional to what 50 slots cost now.

I just do a massive bank clear out and get rid of everything useless/sellable and not needed :)

Whys everyone complaining about the bank spaces? It's not like you NEED extra spaces.. you can play the game exactly the same with or without them and if you manage your bank properly in the first place and use POH storage, you should already have more than enough space. It's more of a convenience than an advantage. And if you didn't read all of the article it said that they extra spaces will be available in the loyalty shop in a few weeks anyways. So you don't have to pay any extra for them unless your impatient and have to have them right away. What's the big deal? :duh:

The mini game or whatever you want to call it…. Butterfly catching is a joke.
I Lost my comp cape & it's near impossible to obtain since its packed with people and only allow 2 entry's per day…. Lame

The big difference is, xp/gp gained from SOF can be attained for free by playing the game too. (membership aside) Now they are selling an in-game 'feature' that you can never have w/o purchasing it with $. Chances are, they will never give free bank slots ever again (our bank slots have been expanded significantly over the years, when new items/skills were released). And they might start releasing minigames etc that take out a lot of bank spaces, pressuring players to purchase the bank slots.

Worst of all, it won't be long before they start selling buffs/abilities/weapons/armours with superior stats and maybe even allow them in PVP. (i.e. you wont stand anymore chance in PVP w/o purchasing all these)

Just like I said in my last post.. the spaces will become available in the loyalty shop after a few weeks meaning if you're a member you don't have to spend any money to get them..

Currently at RuneSpan and can't seem to get over 55k per hour now. :(

I'm just glad I got 99 rc before the nerf! hehe

They barely changed the xp rates. For me, there isn't any difference in the XP per hour using Kyles script. If you want to boost your rates, go to a less crowded world, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how much difference it makes.

thanks for the advice :D

Just got 99 RC on my main yesterday, absolutely negligible difference in xp rates.

I'm using zmon's preemptible runespan angle getting about 30k per hour at level 66. Should I use the third floor or second?

I used this as a guide for where to go in the Runespan.
