A Trading Post, Nex, the Moons and two dozen minigames

Nex

360 pull requests. Yes, more than last week.

The Grand Exchange went in and lasted less than two days. A full order book with buy limits and tax suits a far bigger player base than ours, so we swapped it for a Trading Post: list at your price, buy straight from listings, no tax.

The rest is mostly more to do. Around 25 minigames and activities opened up, Nex, Yama and the Moons got their real mechanics, and there's a new tracker watching your boss fights so Combat Achievements can complete on their own.

Added

  • The Trading Post: list items at your own price, browse the most traded and newest listings, buy from anyone's listing, cheapest first. No tax, no buy limits, and any open Grand Exchange buy offers were cancelled with the coins returned #2724 #2861 #2942 #2946
  • Solo Pest Control: Squire allies fill the boat, but only your own work earns points #2988
  • Bank PINs at any banker, with a shuffled keypad and a 3 or 7 day recovery delay #2720
  • Castle Wars, with warriors filling out both teams so a game always has a fight, and Lanthus's ticket exchange #2365
  • Barbarian Assault: ten waves, the Penance Queen, Connad's rewards, and bot teammates who know every call if you're short #2728 #2814 #2863 #2870
  • Guardians of the Rift, the short Temple of the Eye quest that opens the Wizards' Tower portal, the desert portal and Felix's pearl shop #2727 #2863 #2883 #2885 #2935
  • Last Man Standing from a portal at home, any region. It pays Vault points, and every 3 hours a 15 minute event doubles Competitive points #2823 #2859 #2976
  • More PvP: Soul Wars, Bounty Hunter in Daimon's Crater, Clan Wars Free-for-all, the TzHaar Fight Pit and Outlast tournaments with a viewing orb. Tele Block works too #2816 #2817 #2824 #2860 #2882 #2982 #2985

  • Well over 100 Perk Deck cards went live across nearly every boss, plus new ones for the Mimic, Smoke Devil, Skotizo, Giant Mole, Inferno and Gauntlet. Room teleport cards land at the boss door #2312 #2314 #2316 #2318 #2435 #2439 #2440 #2441 #2445 #2446 #3032 #3050 #3051 #3054

  • Ardougne, Desert and Falador diary rewards, Karamja diary hand-ins and lamps at Pirate Jackie, and eight random events (::randoms off skips the optional ones) #2807 #2999 #3023 #3025
  • Travel: gnome gliders, hot air balloons, Keldagrim carts, the Lovakengj minecarts, Boaty to Molch, and quetzal whistles with your built landing sites #2380 #2399 #2425 #2561 #2582 #2663 #2773 #2977 #3009
  • Skilling: aerial fishing, drift nets, falconry, magic boxes, the Agility Pyramid, the Werewolf stick, Zeah Runecrafting, the Farming Guild seed vault, Resurrect Crops, Hespori anima plants and calquat patches #2627 #2766 #2785 #2994 #3005 #3010 #3011 #3012
  • The desert heat is real now, so bring a waterskin. You can also dive to the sea floor off Fossil Island and trade with Mairin #3007
  • House: servants, lecterns, costume room storage, jewellery boxes, the menagerie, thrones and House Options. Elsewhere the herb sack, gem bag and Huntsman's kit work now #2322 #2685 #2785 #2981 #2986 #3006

  • The Titles window (::titles), a Firsts tab on the Leaderboard, and a Player Support staff rank with a report queue and a jail #2345 #2503 #2535 #2826

Changed

  • Nex fights like OSRS: five phases, four mages, every special. Multi works and she drops her full common table #2343 #2356 #2602 #2735 #2920 #2958
  • The Moons of Peril got the glyph, their specials, jaguars, clones and kill-order landings #2366 #2367 #2368 #2502 #2567 #2618
  • Yama has three phases and the Judge intermission. Phosani's Nightmare, Skotizo, the Barrows Kings, Bryophyta and Artio all fight closer to the real thing, and the KQ's ranged and magic are prayable #2342 #2717 #2719 #2721 #2722 #2733 #2933 #2968 #3052
  • Perk Deck rethink: cards take 10x the kills, we tried a card hand and dropped it again, and now every card you own is active. Just Bosses and Minigames tabs. Jad's deck was rebuilt #2364 #2469 #2584 #2585
  • The Vault has a Shop tab. Every pack is an item, the Draw is the Lucky pack, there's a Mystery pack, and perk cards can't be bought outright #2449 #2492 #2571
  • Combat Achievements track each fight now, and a huge batch of kill-count, speed and mechanic tasks complete by themselves, for everyone in a team kill #2531 #2534 #2945 #3031 #3035 #3038 #3039 #3044 #3047
  • Monsters respawn at their OSRS rates instead of a flat 60 seconds, the Nightmare's back in about 10 seconds, and private GWD rooms respawn much faster. More echo bosses have private arenas, and there's a private Thermy #2496 #2497 #2525 #2624 #2838 #2991 #2992
  • Drop events only boost uniques and leave the commons alone, Bonus Loot skips uniques, and personal boosts pause during matching world events. The vote goal repeats every 100 votes #2361 #2478 #2638
  • Drops: 3rd age and the missing clue rewards are back, league Herblore secondaries come 2x noted, revenant skull and task boosts match OSRS, and Echo DKs keep their own V's helm pity #2311 #2495 #2500 #2501 #2603 #2687 #3028
  • Quests we haven't coded count as done for after-quest areas, including DT2, MM2 and DS2 #2321 #2536 #3027
  • Demonic Pacts can be toggled off, the map zooms with the wheel and much further out, and the Air max pact, Thorns XP and Friendly Forager were tweaked #2351 #2431 #2622 #2810
  • Your Minion loots every kill while it's out and comes with the real whistle. Culling Spree also offers Wildy tasks and covers spectre stench #2317 #2399 #2451 #2599 #2697 #2700
  • Drop broadcasts only show a player's first of each unique, and all raid purples are announced, as are Infernal Contracts from the Angel's chest. Staff and vote messages are easier to read, titles have colours in right-click menus, and GIM chat works with // #2344 #2348 #2363 #2443 #2489 #2499 #2524 #2625
  • Hiscores: staff ranks show, test accounts don't, and summaries show the right player holding their season trophy #2335 #2581 #2597 #2699 #2715
  • Smaller ones: the ring of wealth auto-collects, Vial smashing works, Deadfall follows the latest OSRS change, and the home dummy handles several players #2336 #2356 #2416 #2498 #2654 #2696

Fixed

  • Theatre of Blood: Sotetseg's chest and maze gaps, Verzik's endless P2 crabs, Verzik and Xarpus stopping when a teammate was still in an earlier room, Nylocas not reaching the pillars and a raid start bug #2411 #2424 #2847 #2869 #2875 #2891 #2904 #2912 #3076
  • Chambers of Xeric: monsters coming back after death, the green crystal and Olm chest, Ice demon brazier softlocks and the crab room orb #2391 #2623 #2632 #2679 #2690 #2847 #2890
  • Tombs of Amascut and the Fractured Archive: Wardens vanishing on shield break, Akkha's final stand, Apmeken finishing, prayer pen, getting into the Archive at all, Bork and Dreadnoth trapping parties and the Ezekiel transporter disconnect #2507 #2522 #2595 #2598 #2600 #2603 #2632 #2679 #2747
  • Boss bugs: Zulrah freezing and the stuck boat, Kraken whirlpools, Vardorvis tendrils, Hydra vents, Cerberus's lava after death, idle Jad challenge Jads and missing tells, Royal Titans phases, Araxxor's lair, Vet'ion thorns and demonic gorillas in singles. Killed adds at Vorkath, Araxxor and in ToB also stopped coming back, same for Castle Wars and Soul Wars NPCs #2960 #2355 #2379 #2398 #2411 #2415 #2432 #2476 #2511 #2583 #2635 #2709 #2773 #3083
  • Echo bosses and duplicates: a stray regular KBD in your echo fight, Echo Amoxliatl's HP bar, echo orbs not dropping, no second Dom or raid pet, Grotesque Guardians' rocks and bell, and God Wars KC past its cap #2315 #2353 #2362 #2458 #2541 #2542 #2663 #2664 #2680 #2714 #3013 #3068
  • Doors, ladders and shortcuts all over: Camelot's gates, Harmony Island, Tarn's Lair, Wildy Agility Course, Yanille dungeon, Chasm of Fire, Elvarg's wall and Crandor rope, the Varrock east road, Prifddinas gaps, Obor's chest, Zemouregal's Base and Fossil Island's cave and trunk #2332 #2391 #2458 #2485 #2510 #2537 #2553 #2589 #2602 #2618 #2643 #2646 #2679 #2689 #2767 #2773 #2784 #2806 #2828 #2854 #2904 #2921 #2977 #2999 #3014 #3105
  • Map of alacrity landing you in walls or mid-shortcut, jewellery teleports from the inventory, the Evil Eye, Yama's stepping stones and the Brimhaven arena traps #2379 #2416 #2537 #2541 #2611 #2653 #2711 #2756 #2767 #2855 #2883
  • League tasks that wouldn't complete, a long list of them, and locked tasks now tell you which area you need #2310 #2333 #2392 #2412 #2425 #2477 #2542 #2562 #2611 #2618 #2664 #2680 #2748 #2848 #2875 #2906 #2945
  • Skilling: herb patches refusing seeds, dead herbs breaking the patch, Forestry events in unreachable spots, Nature's Accord disease display, redwoods, stuck snares and traps, and missing anvil products #2332 #2458 #2466 #2476 #2510 #2518 #2530 #2632 #2643 #2653 #2755 #2784 #2789 #2848 #2854 #2912 #2950

  • Interface: typing in chat inside ToB and CoX, Leaderboard summaries crashing your client, the camera zoom snap, Slayer rewards layout, boss bar fades, health bar slivers, level-ups looking drained, the level-up flash and Esc on the world map #2327 #2487 #2518 #2527 #2554 #2583 #2590 #2645 #2811 #2949
  • Smaller ones: periodic lag spikes, the Bank Box, clue text and unreachable clue steps, the Kalphite Princess, Youngllef, the capybara orange, Romeo & Juliet's sermon, the Book of the Dead, the monkey backpack, divine potions and Protest Banners. Monsters like mummies attack and die with their own animations, and drop viewers and the Loot Tracker cover more #2313 #2341 #2416 #2467 #2579 #2712 #2562 #2601 #2797 #2861 #2883 #2917 #2950 #2955 #2969 #2978

Behind the scenes

  • The test pilot learned routes through doors, a boss mode and better setup checks #2062 #2974 #2979
  • The Balance Elemental fight is built with no way in yet, a little store plumbing, debug command fixes and notes on tunable values #2354 #2452 #2737 #2927 #3002 #3029
