Jagex giving free claw offhand

No idea where this information come from (can't find the official source), but there are numerous sources stating the same thing. (One of my pmod friends told me that this is emailed to pmods, so it may have been leaked from there)

- All poisoned items, like a dragon dagger p++, are converted into their un-poisoned versions, as poisoned weapons no longer exist
- Spellboxes (a reward from Dungeoneering) are removed and the player refunded the Dungeoneering tokens they used to purchase them
- Players are refunded any Dungeoneering tokens they spent to unlock the Dungeoneering versions of the Piety prayer, as they are now unlocked at the same time as the player gets Piety
- Players Prayer Points are fully restored
- All worn items are removed and placed in their backpack. If there is no room in their backpack, the items are sent to the bank.
- All players (both free and members) get 15 extra bank spaces (to make sure they have room to hold the items un-equipped)
- Players are given off-hand versions of any claw weapons they have. The claws they already have become the main-hand versions of the claws. If the player doesn't have any room for the new claws in their backpack and bank, they do not get the extra off-hand claws.
- Players disease is cured, as disease has been removed from the game
- Players PK skulls are removed, as they have been removed from the game
- The player is teleported to a random one of the following locations:
- Lumbridge
- Varrock (East or West bank)
- Edgeville
- Draynor
- Falador (East or West bank)
- Al Kharid
- Grand Exchange
- The player is given a one-off pop-up telling them combat has been released, that their items were un-equipped and that they have been teleported to a safe town
- Recalculate task totals (due to combat-related tasks being affected)


Everything makes sense except the free claw. Why would they be doing that? Would Jagex be repeating the climbing boot giveaway? Or maybe (alch) price of claws would be nerfed such that main-hand+off-hand = original 2h claw, so this is necessary to prevent losses (for players with claws).


PMod confirmation:

(forgot to screenshot rest of the conversation)

Added PMod confirmation to OP. Still don't see it being officially announced by JMod though. Could it be that the free claw giveaway is indeed vulnerable to abuse and hence they intended to only let the pmod know? (but in which case why would they even let pmod know?)

It sounds like they're splitting the claws into two. Meaning you have one on each hand. One is your primary and they automatically make the other the secondary so you don't have to go change it yourself.

You'd know how it goes if you had logged into the beta.
The claw items are split into two parts basically, so if you owned a claw you still get it on both hands.
