Ironman modes, trading, and every diary open

185 pull requests merged this week. Most of them were fixes for things you reported, and since Thursday those go out in small updates through the day instead of piling up for one big one.

The biggest new thing is game modes. Pick Regular, Ironman or Hardcore Ironman. If you already have an account you get the choice next time you log in, and you keep everything. Regular accounts can trade each other now too.

Bit embarrassing, this one: the dwarf multicannon didn't exist on the server at all until Monday. Fairy rings went in the same day.

Added

  • Game modes: Regular, Ironman and Hardcore Ironman. Hardcores drop to normal Ironman on a dangerous death, you can de-iron at the Ironman tutor, and Regular accounts can trade each other #996 #998 #1004
  • The dwarf multicannon and fairy rings. The cannon pulls aggro, fires faster than it did on day one, and can't go down in restricted areas #991 #1024 #1064
  • The last eight achievement diaries, every tier, and a long list of tasks across all of them count now, from rooftop laps to slayer tasks from Duradel and Mazchna #985 #993 #1006 #1366 #1408 #1648
  • Diary reward items from the Quartermaster work: cloaks, gloves, sea boots, Explorer's ring, Rada's blessing and the rest #1073
  • Fishing Trawler at Port Khazard. Patch leaks, bail, fight off the kraken, then search the net for fish and Angler pieces #1454 #1653
  • Temple Trekking and the Burgh de Rott Ramble, all three routes, with combat, puzzle and friendly events and reward tokens #1455
  • TzHaar-Ket-Rak's challenges: one to six JalTok-Jads, the infinite challenge, and a league-only one against six Unbound Jads. Safe deaths, and the sixth unlocks the JalRek-Jad pet look #1453 #1638
  • Stealing Valuables in Civitas illa Fortis. Pay an urchin, wait for the owner to leave, rob the place, sell to Oriana #1284 #1426
  • Farming Guild contracts from Guildmaster Jane, paid in openable seed packs #1456 #1600 #1688
  • Five more Forestry events (Struggling Sapling, Pheasant Control, Fox Poachers, Flowering Tree, Beehive) plus the Leprechaun and the Enchantment Ritual. The Friendly Forester buys pheasant feathers and golden eggs for bark #1258 #1395 #1572 #1580 #1590 #1595 #1597
  • Echo Cerberus in Asgarnia and echo Kalphite Queen in the Desert. Their drops work too: the drygore blowpipe burns, Fang of the hound casts Flames of Cerberus, King's barrage fires two bolts, and echo boots recoil #1090 #1449 #1689 #1704
  • Examine a monster for a drop table window laid out like the collection log, with your real rates. Rare drops, pets and 99s get announced, trimmed by Sunday to log items and big drops because runes and gems were flooding chat #1138 #1175 #1591 #1678
  • Monster aggression that follows OSRS: the combat level rule, 10 minutes to tolerance, any level in the wild. GWD followers go for anyone without their god's gear #1706
  • Smaller ones: Gnomeball, the Fishing Contest, Arceuus thralls, clue bottles from fishing, Dizana's quiver's extra ammo slot, and Earthen Naguas in the Tonali Cavern #1142 #1164 #1253 #1367 #1475 #1614 #1644
  • A pile of item recipes: Zulrah uniques, the DT2 rings, blessed and sigil spirit shields, god books, rancour, Confliction gauntlets, Noxious halberd, brimstone ring, blood fury, DHL, ferocious gloves, DFS, ballistae, abyssal tentacle, ornament kits and Torva repair #1066 #1121 #1144 #1249 #1366 #1417 #1423 #1449 #1538 #1698

Changed

  • Fixes from your reports now go out in small updates throughout the day. Our bug testers also get a Tester title and a bug badge in chat, so say thanks when you see one #1390 #1458 #1630
  • Late league area unlocks come sooner: every 75 tasks from 525, with the last one at 900 instead of 1,000 #1388
  • Home Teleport left-click goes to Yama's Lair, Civitas is on right-click. Cancelling frees you straight away and you don't drift while casting #1001 #1026 #1246 #1645
  • The Teleports menu is regrouped with landing maps and new stops (Barrows, Zalcano, Tormented Demons, Darkmeyer, skilling spots), and the Evil Eye adds Vardorvis, the Sire, Corp, Waterbirth and the Barrows chest. One reorder briefly sent people to the wrong place #1028 #1065 #1145 #1255 #1371 #1417 #1447 #1635 #1641
  • Each vote gives 30 minutes of double XP and a 25% double-loot chance, stacking to 4 hours, and the server goal is 100 instead of 500. Vault packs and Perk Deck Draw pay skilling supplies, points and cards instead of food #1321 #1457 #1690
  • The Gauntlet follows current OSRS rules: shards straight to your inventory, cheaper weapons, a guaranteed first frame, armour seeds. Loot comes from the lobby chest at wiki rates, and dying gets you a smaller chest #1406 #1538 #1573 #1599 #1617
  • Hespori seeds are far more common from allotments and seed packs, and Hespori always gives the Kourend echo orb in the league #1142 #1450 #1705
  • No cap on clue scrolls carried, an anti-dragon shield in the Home General Store, and cooking burn rates that match the wiki #1023 #1138 #1451
  • Leagues: lots of Demonic Pacts boss drops give the finished item instead of a component, every DT2 boss drops all four Soulreaper pieces, and Zulrah stops capping hits. The tutor and several shops stock more #1691 #1692
  • Leagues: bigger mark of grace stacks and Hotfoot laps that pay out, relic-tier boosts to minigame points, and Conniving Clues at 1 in 15 with better caskets #1614 #1693 #1696
  • Leagues: gathering relics reworked. Barbarian Gathering needs no gear, the Transmutation ledger gives infinite natures, Flow State 2-ticks far more actions, and the Mining Guild, Wyrm course and Prif course have league bonuses #1694 #1700 #1705
  • Leagues: echo orbs drop at the right rates. We boosted echo uniques with your drop-rate bonus on Monday and took it back out on Sunday #1085 #1695
  • Leagues: Minion's imp picks up loot, Blindbag procs on every hit of multi-hit weapons, Culling Spree offers task choices and free Slayer unlocks, the Banker's briefcase links any item #1024 #1072 #1073 #1074 #1119 #1141 #1644 #1681

Fixed

  • For part of Sunday, anyone wearing any amulet got nothing but bones from monsters. Our amulet of avarice change broke it #1404 #1672
  • The Hunllef and Gauntlet dark beasts vanished on their first ranged attack, so runs couldn't be finished. Also fixed: hits through prayer, tornadoes that didn't chase, no multi, and a crystal bow and bofa that wouldn't fire #991 #1086 #1239 #1255 #1370 #1436 #1437 #1601 #1610 #1634 #1639 #1647 #1699
  • Sol Heredit didn't end wave 12, respawned, then didn't fight back. Leaving the Colosseum with unclaimed loot disconnected you #1022 #1116 #1165 #1169 #1241
  • Inferno and Fight Caves: triple Jads attacked on the same tick, Zuk couldn't be hit, pillars wandered off, split Tz-Keks skipped waves and TzHaar dropped bones #1109 #1261 #1405 #1462 #1464 #1473 #1476 #1479 #1637 #1680
  • ToB: barriers stayed sealed after Maiden, you fell through the walkways, Bloat stood still, and losing every Nylocas pillar wiped the party #1088 #1409 #1411 #1422 #1448 #1609 #1652 #1658
  • Zulrah didn't re-emerge with a fresh rotation, dropped loot in the wrong spot, rolled uniques at the wrong rate and could hit you while stunned #1031 #1064 #1141 #1167 #1255 #1370
  • DT2: Vardorvis' gaze locked Piety too, his arena had no exit, the Awakener's orb was flaky, and bosses could skip the main drop table #1086 #1370 #1404 #1623 #1641
  • Hueycoatl wasn't multi and missed its feather, lightning and tail attacks. Yama couldn't be challenged, and the Moons gave up at the edge of their arenas #1024 #1071 #1084 #1167 #1255 #1370 #1639
  • Corp had no sigils and vanished if you teleported. Vorkath stayed immune, KBD ignored ranged players, Cerberus slept through teleports, and the Sire stalled #1086 #1261 #1403 #1426 #1538 #1641 #1652 #1658 #1662
  • The Nightmare, echo Amoxliatl, echo Hespori, echo KBD, Doom's shield, Araxxor, Kree'arra, Calvar'ion, Kraken, Sarachnis and a bunch of other boss bits #1085 #1087 #1093 #1118 #1141 #1167 #1241 #1255 #1261 #1370 #1391 #1412 #1616 #1639 #1653
  • Wilderness: revenants only used melee, the obelisks did nothing, and the bracelet of ethereum and Emblem Trader were half done #1121 #1371 #1448 #1452
  • Disconnects at the Ourania altar, making gold bracelets, viewing your looting bag from the bank, and finishing a Rellekka rooftop lap #1064 #1366 #1368 #1616
  • Prifddinas: gates, shops, the library stairs, Trahaearn Mine, platforms, crystals, Amrod and the singing bowl #991 #1165 #1174 #1252 #1282 #1371 #1407 #1538 #1575 #1592 #1647
  • Boats and ferries around Rellekka, Slepe, Harmony Island and the Fishing Platform, plus 22 Map of Alacrity teleports that didn't work #1031 #1119 #1160 #1371 #1409 #1410 #1605
  • Doors, caves and shortcuts all over: Slayer Tower ivy, Mor Ul Rek, Lizardman Caves, Tlati cave, Brimhaven stones, Myths' Guild, Waterbirth and more #1024 #1035 #1075 #1144 #1242 #1253 #1371 #1403 #1411 #1426 #1592 #1605 #1616 #1648 #1652
  • Shops and NPCs that wouldn't trade or talk, including Elnock, Gabooty, Prospector Percy, the Hunter Guild staff and Otto. Shop Buy buttons work #1168 #1226 #1366 #1367 #1408 #1417 #1538 #1592 #1637 #1648
  • Skilling: cooking ranges, farming patches and trees, snares, Wintertodt braziers, Rogues' Castle chests, Telekinetic Grab, talismans on ruins and the Agility Arena traps #1024 #1035 #1075 #1144 #1249 #1368 #1405 #1416 #1600 #1637 #1645 #1697
  • Slayer masters gave tasks from locked regions or above your level, handed back the task you'd just cancelled, and couldn't store tasks. Slayer rings and helmets work #1031 #1141 #1168 #1368 #1410 #1417 #1423 #1658
  • Bank tabs got jumbled, resizable mode didn't resize, and notes didn't work on booths. The rune pouch and looting bag work #1120 #1121 #1240 #1366 #1371 #1422 #1437 #1637
  • Shadowflame quadrant, Infernal tecpatl, atlatl darts, ring of suffering, spellbook tablets and the Blood Moon set #1018 #1031 #1075 #1118 #1164 #1171 #1223
  • Dozens of league tasks that wouldn't complete, plus the task search bar ignoring typing #1119 #1253 #1282 #1366 #1429 #1449 #1601 #1606 #1609 #1610 #1634 #1638 #1645 #1648 #1688
  • Odds and ends: the RuneLite Loot Tracker never saw your kills, Pact Regenerate handed out bananas after Ape Atoll Teleport, the league tutorial reopened every login, and the welcome message now says DamnedX. A few more we're keeping vague #1096 #1120 #1168 #1209 #1210 #1253 #1370 #1408 #1600 #1608 #1634 #1644 #1648 #1679 #1692

Behind the scenes

  • Staff and tester tools: a points tab, a set-level fix, Fight Caves and Inferno wave control, screenshot setup, forcing Forestry events #995 #1021 #1572 #1622 #1625
  • Faster cache builds and a couple of release fixes #997 #1003 #1081 #1537
  • Docs, a regression test, and a weekly update post that went in by mistake and came straight back out #1094 #1161 #1162 #1642
