Rooms

Zalcano

  • Similar to OSRS, she will drop boulders or pebbles in a random locations requiring you to move
  • She will spawn demonic symbols on the floor, with the orange ones damaging you, with the damage increasing the longer they've been active, and the blue ones boosting your damage while throwing tephra at her

  • Unlike OSRS, all 4 mining corners will always be active, and she will not shift them around the room to make it less tedious

  • Items kept on death will now mirror OSRS on World 1 (3 unskulled +1 if protect item is on) Deadman worlds set it to 0 +1
  • FYI: Attempting to hop to world 1 with a skull will lock your account to world 2 until you return and wait out the skull timer

  • The Venator bow will not require charges like on OSRS
  • The Imbued heart can be combined with 150,000 ancient essence to create the Saturated heart

  • Instead, prayer drain attacks will drain 3-5 prayer points per hit, and can be lowered to 1 point by wearing a spectral spirit shield
  • I have skipped the requirement to kill each minion (cruor, glacies, etc) in order. You can kill them all at the start to speed up at the fight
  • Nex will not do any chip damage until the final phase to make it less tedious provided you pray / move correctly
  • Nex will frequently drop ecumenical keys and as they're available from the Slayer shop so entry shouldn't be an issue
  • Nex will also drop 8 nihil shards for the mvp 100% of the time

    Future Updates

    Although I spent a ridiculous amount of hours on this update, there is still a lot I wanted to add but frankly ran out of time for a March release. The below items were started but were not finished in time, so I will be releasing them in batches over the coming months. I personally think this works out for the better, as it ensures a constant stream of new content vs 1 massive update and then just bug fixing.

    • Preset interface for gear setups
    • Leagues 3 - Shattered Relics
    • Realism Group ironman
    • Maximum hit splat & other people's hit splat tinting
    • More Combat Achievements - tied in with all of the new bosses we have (ToA, Nex etc)
    • Theatre of Blood (Hard mode)
    • Revenant maledictus boss
    • Galvek (ds2) boss
    • Automated name changing
    • PvP loot keys
    • Boss speed running - hiscores & announcements
    • Attack style saving for ranged & melee 

     

    I would also like to say a huge thank you to Polar who I'm sure most people in RSPS know. A majority of this would not be possible without his guidance over the past year. 

    Reminder there are massive giveaways and competitions happening on Discord when 2.0 launches - be sure to check out #competition and #giveaway on our Discord!
