Welcome everyone to the first Patch of Season 3.

We had originally planned to release Minescape Leagues a week ago, but our plans have since changed. Minescape Leagues has been postponed, and we'll keep you updated on a new time-frame.

This patch brings several bug fixes, skilling updates, monsters/boss and social elements.

Skills

Let's start with our skilling updates.

• Glass, unlocked at leve 30
• Glass pane, unlocked at level 50
• Wooden trapdoors, unlocked at various levels

A special shoutout to Stef who has been putting a lot of work on his island:

He will assign you non slayer exclusive monsters spread around the map.

Let's get social

This update brings more light to social aspects of the game.

Friends

A friend system has been added.

You can now add and manage your friends on the GamesLabs network.
You will also be able to see your friends stats in a future update.

Party

A party system has been implemented!

You can invite up to five members and join mini-games with them.
You may also chat with your party members.

Party boss fights

We've upgraded our instanced boss system to allow for party boss fights.
You can now enter an instanced fight with your party members if they're near you and on the same instance.

Bosses have a bit more health when fought with party members. The loot is shared with all the party members that joined the fight.
This party boss fight system is not available in Ironman mode.

Region update

We've added two new regions in this update.

Burthorpe

Trollheim is currently blocked, and we moved the corrupted black dragon to the north of the slayer tower.
Burthorpe contains a smith, a general store, some smokers, a brewing stand, and an exploration lodestone.

Warrior's Guild upgrade

A cellar has been added to the Warrior's Guild.

Talk to Lorelai with a rune defender to access the high level Cyclop room to grind your dragon defender!

The dragon defender provides a 8% melee damage buffer as well as armor points.
It is unlocked at level 60 attack and defence.

Kalphite Cave

We've opened the gate to the desert and you may start its exploration!
The desert has been released partially with the Kalphite Cave.

The Kalphite cave hosts a very dangerous boss and its followers.

The Kalphite cave also contains an agility shortcut that will lead you directly to the Kalphite Lair.

Kalphite Queen and the Kalphite Whip

This boss has two different phases. It starts as a ground insect imuned to magic and ranged, and in the second phase, it transforms into a flying insect immune to melee.



The lair can be accessed with a Kalphite Key, unlocked at level 55 exploration.
The Kalphite Queen drops it's remains which can be combined with an abyssal whip to create the Kalphite Whip.

The kalphite whip can be crafted at level 80 and does 100 damage per hit.
It comes with 7500 charges and will transform back into an abyssal whip at 0 charges.

Soul shop

Since the release of the Giant Mole, souls have been dropped by our various bosses.
You may now exchange them for rare boss drops.
The soul shop can be located at the Draynor manor and accepts noted souls.

This will guarentee rare drops from bosses even if you're very unlucky:

• Dagon'hai boots, 2000 souls of The Evil Chicken
• Dagon'hai hat, 20000 souls of The Evil Chicken
• Hill Giant club, 240 souls of Obor
• Kalphite remains, 260 souls of The Kalphite Queen
