The Red Reef is Out Today!

Changelog - May 20th

• The Tortugan questline continues with a new, Experienced level quest: the Red Reef!
  • Start the quest by talking to Elder Raley, found in the south east house of the Summer Shore.
  • Requires Troubled Tortugans, Level 52 Sailing and 48 Smithing.
• Bosun's Bench has been added to the game:
  • It's a new boat facility that allows your crew to automatically make repairs for you.
  • Requires Level 63 Sailing and Level 54 Construction.
  • Materials needed to build:
    • 6 Camphor Planks
    • 24 Adamantite Nails
    • 2 Lead Bars
    • Bosun's Bench Schematic, unlocked by completing the Red Reef quest

• Added two new cannonballs with their own unique mechanics:
  • Chainshot cannonballs specialise in slowing enemy movement:
    • They have the effect of halving movement speed on enemy targets for 5 seconds, while dealing the same damage as regular cannonballs do without the chain.
    • 2 respective cannonballs combined with a chain produces 2 Chainshot cannonballs of the same type, that can be fired twice separately.
    • You can create Chainshot cannonballs up to Rune by smithing chains from Steel bars, then combining them with cannonballs at an anvil.
  • Incendiary cannonballs are designed to apply burn damage over time:
    • Enemies at sea will be set ablaze when shot by these cannonballs and take damage over time.
    • This burn effect will ignore any flat armour bonuses, making it a noticeable DPS increase over time.
    • 2 respective cannonballs combined with a chain produces 2 Chainshot cannonballs of the same type, that can be fired twice separately.
    • You can create Incendiary cannonballs up to Rune by mining Rubium splinters (from the Charred Island Dungeon), then combining them with cannonballs at an anvil.
• Introduced two new resources:
  • Rubium Splinters: requires Level 48 Mining, can be mined from Rubium Rocks, tradeable
  • Rubium Geodes: requires Level 68 Mining, can be mined from Rubium Deposit, untradeable
    • Rubium Geodes can be broken down into Rubium Splinters by using a hammer and a chisel.
• Added an auto-retaliate setting for cannons when your boat is attacked by enemies at sea.
  • You can enable and disable this setting under the Combat Options tab, just like you do for weapons. It's set to be on by default.
  • When enabled, any cannon that you're locked into will automatically fire back at hostile sea creatures that attack you.
  • With auto-retaliate, there will be a short delay before the cannon responds, ensuring that actively targeting creatures yourself will always be the most efficient option.
• You can now change the colour of your boat's sails with the new range of sail cosmetics: Black, Blue, Green, Pink, Purple, Red and Yellow.
  • You can unlock Sail customisation at Level 41 Sailing.
  • Each of the solid-colour sails can be created using 10 of the matching dye, in the Shipyard.
• The Medallion of the Deep now functions as breathing apparatus throughout the Fossil Island underwater areas.
  • Within the underwater Agility/Thieving area, it will reduce oxygen depletion by 80%, as polled.
• Sailing XP from Deep Sea Trawling has been buffed, now giving roughly double the XP compared to before:
  • XP from Rope trawling net has been increased from 4 XP to 7 XP
  • XP from Linen trawling net has been increased from 5 XP to 9 XP
  • XP from Hemp trawling net has been increased from 6 XP to 11 XP
  • XP from Cotton trawling net has been increased from 8 XP to 15 XP
• Reduced your character's gather rate from 4 ticks to 3 ticks. This keeps the more engaging 2 tick method alive for those who love it, while making things feel smoother and more rewarding for players who prefer a more relaxed playstyle.
• Baited shoals now correctly increase your catch by 20%, allowing you to get more fish in your nets.
• Added right-click Last Boat option to the Teleport to Boat spell, which lets you quickly return to the boat you last teleported to.
• Added right-click Last Boat option to the Summon Boat spell, which will summon the boat you last summoned.

• Lowered the Obelisk’s base Hitpoints on the Path of Het in Tombs of Amascut from 122 to 119. This means players with 85+ Mining will no longer occasionally fail to defeat it in a single cycle, even with tick-perfect timing.
• Fixed a bug where Partner slayer did not correctly enforce the "15 shared tasks" requirement.
• Revenant Cave Teleport Scrolls now have a ‘Drop’ option on their mini-menu and can be dropped on the ground.
• You can once again access the Waterfall Dungeon without a rope, provided you meet the requirements.
• Probita no longer gives extra copies of Gull to players who have Gulliver in their menageries.
• Resolved a range of Z-buffer issues across the game:
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien's sitting animation has been corrected.
  • Resolved various graphical issues in the Gauntlet and Corrupted Gauntlet: corrected floor clipping, the Oven model, Hunllef visual effects (including Corrupted and Echo variants), and fishing pools.
  • Fixed clipping issues with rugs and carpets.
  • Fixed flickering issues in the Lassar Undercity.
  • Patched a clipping issue with skull tunnel cavities containing elemental blocks during the While Guthix Sleeps quest.
  • Fixed some clipping issues in the Tormented Demons area, Stronghold of Security and the Battlefield.
  • Adjusted the sizes of some crates in Monkey Madness II to prevent clipping.
