Runescape Tweaks Week

Things are quiet on the update front this week, as we prepare for a bumper month of RuneScape lore. That starts with next week's quest - One of a Kind - but while it's been undergoing a final polish, we've been focusing on fixes and tweaks to the game.

First up are two extra slots in the Dungeoneering binds interface, specifically for shields or off-hand , so you can come packing a full range of gear as you delve into Daemonheim.

In response to your feedback, we've also adjusted the new colour grading introduced with the previous update. We hope this is more in keeping with what you wanted to see, and we'd love to get your feedback. Let us know what you think.

We've also fixed a batch of bugs. This includes an important fix to the new minigame: guards can now lock chests that are outside the bank, and robbers must pick the locks of those chests to get to the loot inside.

The rest of today's tweaks and fixes can be found in the patch notes.

We can't wait to let you loose on March's lore-tastic content. If you haven't already, be sure to take a look at Mod Mark's Behind the Scenes news post for details of One of a Kind, the Mahjarrat Memories and the quest that marks the return of Zaros himself: Fate of the Gods.

The following fixes and tweaks have now been implemented. If you believe a change has not been documented, either in the patch notes or the news posts for this week’s update, please detail the change so that it may be added.

As always, be sure to submit a bug report should you encounter a gameplay bug or graphical glitch in-game.
