Xsj Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 In this thread 1. What's happening to Vulcan 3.0/Reborn 2. What's coming in Vulcan 4.0 3. Roadmap, prizes & giveaways for Vulcan 4.0 728x90 Vulcan Banner.mp4 1. What's happening to Vulcan 3.0/Reborn Absolutely nothing! A lot of people have been asking about a reset, but as outlined in August when we moved to Leagues 3, there was no intention of a reset and still isn't moving into Leagues 4. Vulcan 4.0 will play host to both Leagues at the same time. You will login and be prompted as follows: Step 1: Choose your League Leagues 3 - Shattered Relics Leagues 4 - Trailblazer Reloaded Step 2: Create your character Via the makeover mage screen Step 3: Choose your XP Rate & Game mode Regular XP Rate - normal account, ironman, etc Realism XP Rate - normal account, ironman, group iron etc Your account will be permanently bound to this League, allowing for players to play both Leagues to their fullest whenever they'd like. All current accounts are Leagues 3 (obviously) and will remain locked to that League upon release. Leagues 3 will have access to Fragments, Boss Unlocks and their own task list (1,000 tasks). Leagues 4 will have access to Relics and a separate task list (1,200 tasks) - but will not be area restricted. Your account will also have a separate right-click icon to specify which League you are playing for other players. This icon will also display on the Hiscores: - Leagues 3 - Shattered Relics - Leagues 4 - Trailblazer Reloaded 2. What's coming in Vulcan 4.0 Trailblazer Reloaded - Leagues 4 Quote Added Leagues 4 - Trailblazer Reloaded Added over 400 tasks on top of the existing 1000 tasks on Leagues 3 The Leagues tab will now change based on which league you're currently playing: There are now over 1,200 tasks to complete on Leagues 4, a separate list to Leagues 3 Additionally, the task list will now remain open while you run / are in combat etc. It can also be re-sized/moved. Finally, and most importantly, the relics from Leagues 4 have been added and can be picked as you reach a new tier. There have only been 2 relics entirely disabled from this League: Fire Sale - as this is an economy world, and you're not locked to iron only, this could not be added Banker's note - hosting a server and putting thousands of hours into coding is not free, and one of our main selling points in donator perks is access to bank remotely. As such, I cannot offer this for free. (although I might enable it for people with access to the donator perk, as people have said it's even better than having cntrl + b to open the bank) Major Changes to Shattered Relics - Leagues 3 Quote Firstly, lets recap what Leagues 3 had for those new players joining us, here's the announcement of leagues 3: 1,000 Leagues tasks to complete within the League Sage's Renown, a new currency used to unlock your skills & bosses, earnt from completing Leagues Tasks Fragments, broken down parts used to create Relics. Obtained from skilling, minigames and combat What's changing? Almost all balancing restrictions on Relics/Fragments have been removed, so you will now benefit from things like 60% chance at 2x attack speed (previously 6%), 60% chance at Knife's edge (previously 3%), 100% usage of Bandosian Might (previously 8%) and so on Some non-combat relics will also still remain nerfed/disabled (like processing all potions in your inventory at once) Full Theatre of Blood + Hard Mode + Invocations Quote Theatre of Blood Considered to be the hardest PvM challenge in the game, what would Leagues be without it? The entire theatre is now available to be completed, with all 6 rooms having 1:1 mechanics with the main game. This includes things like the Sotetseg maze, but has excluded the nylocas waves. All players will now roll their own loot and have a separate chest generated, depending on how much they contributed. MVP Scoreboard will also be available at the end of the raid to show everybody's performance and what your purple chance was. Hard Mode Hard Mode is now also available for Theatre of Blood, with all mechanics added for all 6 rooms when enabled. Additionally, sanguine dust and ornament kits for weapons can now only be obtained through Hard Mode. Invocation System Similar to Tombs of Amascut, you can now modify difficulty of the Raid through 'Invocations'. All theatres completed now have a difficulty multiplier, which increases the chance of receiving a purple, while increasing the chance of failure through boss difficulty. I've designed these challenges with Leagues 3 & Leagues 4 relics in mind, so I guarantee you will find yourself challenged. Smarter Crabs - Nylocas that explode now deal damage from further, and can run instead of walk More Tornadoes - Any location a tornado is visible in ToB, multiple of them can spawn Shadow Verzik - Verzik can now spawn smaller clones of herself in each phase, that follow the same attack pattern as her ...Maiden? - Blood splats from Maiden will be able to spawn in every room of the theatre Insanity - Verzik will attack at a rate of 4 ticks in phase 2 & 3, compared to the usual 7 Surf the Wave - Verzik will spawn waves of water covering the entire arena similar to Galvek / Zebak that the player must travel through the gap to avoid massive damage Quiet Prayers - Prayers will be 10% less effective at mitigating damage Less Pillars - You now begin the raid with only 2 standing pillars instead of 6 On A Diet - Food can no longer be consumed within the theatre Overly Draining - All special attacks will use 100% of your energy Dehydration - Healing potions can no longer be consumed within the theatre Speed Chaser - A timer will appear on your screen counting down for the entire theatre, killing all party members if the theatre is not completed before it reaches 0 Speed Runner - Identical to above, but with a much more challenging time Unseen Terror - All raid bosses can render themselves invisible for short periods, but will continue to attack players. Especially difficult with Bloat running Forceful Wind - All projectile based attacks can knock the player across the room and stun them in the process Double It - All room bosses have double their health, attack and defence levels. This will not be easy. Additional Invocation slots are ready for player made #Suggestions Smarter Crabs + Hard Mode Invocations: And purely for bragging rights, I've added a tracker to show what your highest ToB invocation level raid completed is Scurrius the Rat King Quote Added the new med-level boss encounter with Scurrius found under Varrock Sewers All experience gained from hits against the boss or the rats he spawns is tripled, great for all the new League 4 accounts The rats he spawns will allow you to hit them with no attack delay provided you have a ratbane weapon equipped Damage done to Scurrius by these ratbone weapons will always have +10 added to your hit Ratbane weaponry is dropped by Scurrius directly Can be fought in an instance or in the public room Provides a new pet for collection log hunters Added the 5 combat achievements recently added to him Clue Scrolls Quote Added over 150 completable clue scroll steps (anagram, object, dig location, speak to NPC etc) All steps have been made identical to OSRS so the Runelite plugin will provide you the solution Tedious clue steps have been disabled (puzzle boxes, sherlock multi-step tasks etc) You can still auto-complete clue scrolls via Watson, but the cost is significantly higher 100% of items are now obtainable via clue scrolls found within the Collection log With the introduction of the Treasure Hunter relic, clues will now roll 2-5 items per reward chest vs 100% chance at 5 Blessings and other items from the Shared Rewards are now available from all Clue types (not just Hard) Scrolls & New items shop Quote Scrolls across Vulcan have unique and varying effects, and this is a common question for new players Below is a thread that now explains what all Scrolls do on Vulcan, and listed below are new / notable ones Additionally, all scrolls have had a visual makeover and been condensed into 1 new shop - the Scroll shop The scroll shop uses a new currency, scroll points, which can be earned by converting points from other categories (pvm points, pk points, community favour, etc) into scroll points to spend Ruinous prayer scroll Unlocks access to 1 random prayer from the Ruinous Prayer book (10/24 come locked) Dexterous prayer scroll Unlocks access to Rigour on the regular prayer book Arcane prayer scroll Unlocks access to Augury on the regular prayer book Ring of wealth scroll Used on a ring of wealth to imbue it (i) - providing 1/100 chance to roll another drop, and auto collection of Tokkul, GP and Revenant Ether through the settings menu In previous Leagues of Vulcan, there was a scroll that did this passively (without wearing the ring) - this is no longer applicable Name and rank scroll Allows you to transfer your username and donation rank to another account (generally your alt, to switch between Leagues 3 / 4, but not have to use a new username or donate again) Name change scroll Allows you to swap usernames with another account you own (or create) Full rank transfer scroll Allows you to give your entire donation rank to another account Partial rank transfer scroll Allows you to transfer a portion of your donation rank to another account Singles tournament scroll Allows you to start a singles tournament Multi tournament scroll Allows you to start a multi tournament Community favour scroll Grants you 100 community favour, allowing you to purchase from the community favour shop Remote bank scroll Allows you to use Cntrl+B to open the bank from most places for 10 minutes, rewarded from Voting Double xp scroll Grants 2x experience for 60 minutes Double pet scroll Grants 2x chance at a Pet for 60 minutes Boss killcount scroll Grants you 15 or 30 boss kill count in any of the following bosses to speed up Leagues tasks: Kalphite queen, Alchemical hydra, Wintertodt, Abyssal sire, Vorkath, Dagannoth kings, Demonic gorillas, Theatre of Blood, Corporeal beast, Nightmare of Ashihama, Skotizo (limited to 5) Fountain scroll Automatically starts the Fountain at home, granting server wide bonuses at random Skin color scroll Allows you to select a restricted skin color Safe death scroll Upon a PvM death, you are teleported to Death's domain but no items are removed from your equipment or inventory, no gp charge applies Shooting star scroll Spawns a shooting star at the home area Task extension scroll When you select a Slayer task, the maximum number you can choose will increase to 250 Enhanced bolt scroll Increases the chance a Bolt (e) effect will take place by 10% similar to the Kandarin diary Reset Leagues 4 Relics Allows you to re pick 1 relic from each of the 8 tiers of relics, without having to start a new account Thrall book scroll Allows you to summon thralls without a book of the dead, and thralls now last 50% longer Blood fury scroll Allows your blood fury or blood torture to save charges 10% of the time Torture upgrade scroll Learn how to combine an amulet of torture with a blood shard Cerberus boots scroll Learn how to combine primordial, pegasian and eternal boots into one pair (requiring 1 of each crystal also) Cannon reload scroll Allows your cannon to automatically reload from your inventory when you're nearby Hydra vent scroll Allows you to automatically neutralise the hydra's vent attack Fast teleport scroll Allows you to change your teleport animation, from 5 ticks to 3 ticks Auto collect clues scroll All clue scrolls dropped by NPCs will be added to your inventory instead Nex damage scroll Increases damage dealt and accuracy against Nex by 20% Cerberus ghosts scroll Cerberus ghosts will only deal 5 damage if they hit you instead of 30 Vorkath zombie scroll Any attack on the zombified spawn will now deal maximum damage Cannonball creation scroll Allows you to smith your own cannonballs Gauntlet & Corrupted Gauntlet Quote Will now stomp the player if they run underneath the Hunleff Will now have a timer displaying your time remaining inside the Gauntlet Failing to complete the challenge within the timer (normal/corrupted) will result in decreased loot rolls The Hunleff will now utilise the HP Bar found at most other bosses The Gauntlet/Corrupted will now allow you to enter with boosted stats from relics Dinh's Bulwark Quote Will now hit up to 10 enemies in an 11x11 radius, with 20% additional accuracy and draining their attack/strength Will now increase it's max hit based on your defence bonuses I can't wait to see the Leagues 4 door builds in full effect (or even Leagues 3 with the discounted special attack relic!) New Combat Achievements Quote Added 245 new combat achievements All combat achievement rewards have been buffed by 10x Added Obor, Bryophyta and other bosses required for a lot of these achievements Combat Achievements interface will now display our rewards and will save what filters you last used on each re-open Ghommal's Hilt can now be obtained when you've completed enough points (not tier restricted) Ghommal's hilt can now teleport you to direct entrances to a lot of bosses Ghommal's lucky penny can now be equipped, saving charges on all charged weapons by 5-10% Updated the Overview interface page to now show a summary of all of your bossing progress Added 14 new Easy Combat Achievements Added 17 new medium combat achievements Added 31 new hard combat achievements Added 65 new elite combat achievements Added 69 new master combat achievements Added 49 new grand master combat achievements Added 30 combat achievements recently added to the Desert Treasure 2 Bosses Starter Guide for New Players Quote Below is a thread I've written up for all new players to read. It's to the point, and answers every question asked by new players over the past 6 months to make their starting journey easier. Nex & Server wide events Quote Nex is now a server wide event and when active grants double drops for all players who contribute enough Nex's drop table scales up for every additional player eligible for loot This means the more players in the room, the more likely you are to see a drop Additionally, the event granting Wilderness bosses receiving 3x drop rates for 20 minutes has been retired Ruinous Prayers Quote Originally a scrapped idea from OSRS I added with our Leagues 3, are now used in Leagues 4 As a result, Leagues 4 accounts will now only be able to access the prayer book with the relic unlocked Leagues 3 accounts will continue to be able to use the prayer book as they like Both account types must unlock the 10 locked prayers via the ruinous prayer scrolls to use them Daily Rewards / Voting / Store Quote Voting Vote streak will now grant bonuses in the following 4 categories depending on your vote streak length: 1-5 days = $1 in Bonds 6-12 days = $2 in Bonds 13-18 days = $3 in Bonds Last 12 days of a Calendar month = $0 Keeping in mind you can vote twice every 12 hours so all of the above are doubled Your vote streak will now automatically reset each Month in line with top lists Your vote streak will reset if you have not voted within exactly 24 hours from your last vote Store The entry KC requirement for God Wars has been adjusted for each donation tier Various other changes to align with the new League 4 relics more closely Daily Reward There is now a daily login reward interface, which will provide a reward for consecutive login days You must remain online for a small period before you're eligible to claim The rewards from each tier will not be visible until launch Vulcan's Deadman Mode #6 & Sigils changes Quote DMM Sigils will be retired with the unrestricting of Leagues 3 and addition of Leagues 4 Previously these sigils exploded, costing you to repair them, and you could store the repair cost in a Statue Funds stored in the statue will be credited to your bank when you next login, and any Sigils you have will be removed. Vulcan Deadman Mode #6 Vulcan will host it's 6th Deadman Mode event in April 2024. The date will be confirmed on Discord in March The prize pool will be similar to previous events, in the range of $3,000 USD There will be prizes for highest total and other PvM challenges to encourage non-clan players to have some fun and possibly win something The breach system will be utilised for pvp and corrupted weapons There will be no Sigils (can poll to add them) There will be a multi event which is a safe death (can poll to make it dangerous) Finally the 1v1s will take place, which will be streamed using the spectator overlay below (and potentially a caster if someone volunteers) Tombs of Amascut Quote Now features the 2 new Invocations found only on Leagues 4 - Blazing Tombs I and II Will now benefit from the boosted raid roll from the fountain, double ToA scrolls have been retired as a result Tombs of Amascut will now receive an interface containing your loot similar to ToB The spike attack no longer double hit on some squares, and spreads evenly through the room The warden's core will now come out facing the player's direction (vs just always south-west) The ToA overlay will now display your raid level, path levels and hp orbs for all players in the party Zebak's phantom's projectiles are now more consistent to react to When the Warden is downed in p2, all obelisk attacks will be removed visually and stop You can no longer double phase the warden with rapid attacks as it goes down Collection Logs & Rewards Quote 100% of Items are now obtainable on the collection log Different tiers of raids will now display their individual kill counts correctly (e.g. Tombs Of Amascut, Entry Mode, Expert Mode) Collection log will now be marked as green once a section is complete, yellow when started (at least 1 item unlocked) and red when not started As heavily requested in #Suggestions, completing a section will now also provide you with a reward which can be viewed by clicking the Rewards button This ties nicely into our Launch challenges focused heavily around Collection Log An example screen of CoX rewards from the bottom of each collection log, allowing for up to 18 unique items to be provided An example of the rewards for completing each raid, the DMM cosmetic version of twisted bow, tumeken's shadow and scythe of vitur Drop Changes / PvM Points / Item Sacrificing Quote Drop Changes Monsters above combat 100 will now roll a global loot table 25% of the time, providing raw resources & alchables before they roll their own loot table. This ensures that items aren't flooding the economy as fast due to the league relics buffs This will decrease loot chances on rare items, but also assist to bring more raw gp into the economy which is needed This drop table can be accessed 100% of the time via the Rogue's chests in 48 wilderness PvM point changes A new fountain roll now exists for 1.5 - while active you will accumulate more PvM points from killing monsters PvM Points can now also be gambled in a game of higher or lower. The player will be given a random number between 1 and 50, and must guess if the next number will be higher or lower than that number, 3 times Item sacrificing A new item sacrificing interface is now in place, rewarding perks and points depending on the item you sacrifice These points can be used in almost all aspects of the game, and will assist your account in progression The specifics of this system will not be public until launch Economy Management Upon release of Vulcan 3.0 economic management was a key focus. I wanted to ensure we didn't inflate item prices or have an abundance of raw gp in the economy. To date our gold sinks have achieved that, below is a graph showing how the economy has trended. The graph date is the end of each month Breaches (Wilderness) Quote Added a breach system for bosses to spawn out of in the Wilderness similar to Deadman Apocalypse Bosses will drop loot to all players who contribute enough, and the MVP will receive 2x loot Rewards will be quite significant, heavily incentivising attending a breach They will not occur at regular intervals, and instead will be completely random Misc. Changes/Bug Fixes/Overhauls General Runelite has been updated to the latest version, and thus will come with a ton of new features from the Runelite team Increased the maximum amount of bank space from 1,000 to 1,200 The requirements for Veteran rank have expanded to joining in the first 3 months of Vulcan, previously at 2 Hiscores will no longer cap at 99% for completionist. If you achieve the Completionist cape it will now show 100%. Thralls will now wait for a player to fully engage in combat before they start to assist (vs just clicking the NPC) Ornament Kits obtained from the box will now add to your collection log Amulet of blood fury will no longer destroy the fury when it runs out of charges You will now be marked as 'Idle' when you're inactive for 90 minutes (you cannot earn Leagues 3 relic XP and monsters will not agro you while Idle) Completionist Cape now has additional requirements including defeating the 4 awakened DT2 bosses Completionist Cape progress will now show in your Character summary tab vs an object a home The color it shows will depend on how far you have progressed your comp journey from 0 to 100% The Crystal key chest can now be found at home with the normal rewards + a few additions to make it worthwhile. This is an entirely separate chest to the enhanced crystal key chest Corrected some existing Gauntlet combat achievements requiring 80 seconds vs 8 minutes Corrected some ToB leagues achievements popping up with a blank text box/being incompletable The Brimstone chest can now only be found at Mount Karuulm Your community favor points can now be located in your quest tab with your other point balances The leagues 3 relic toggles in the quest tab have been organised and simplified Slayer mobs found within Catacombs are now only auto-aggressive if you're on a slayer task of them Home has been simplified further with various objects being removed The altar at home has been renamed to Ruinous Altar and the default option to Switch-books for clarity Added new variation colors of the completionist cape Setting your gender to female will no longer show 'Fresh start worlds' tab instead of Leagues Having above 500 league tasks completed will no longer reset it to 0/1,000 in the quest tab The ornate pool at home has been upgraded to the leagues 4 version, along with all death animations Updated Osmumten Fang to no longer benefit from it's passive when using the Slash style Updated the Scythe of Vitur and it's variants to have increased accuracy to match the recent balancing Obor and Bryophyta are now behind padlocks in shattered relics, and will need to be unlocked to be fought Artio, Spindel and Calvarion will now have their killcounts added to the main boss on your hiscores Hits/Projectiles from an NPC that dies before they register on your player, will now always be removed Corrected the bounty hunter leader board not updating with people's kills for the week Corrected having to double click some interfaces to update them (e.g. Combat Achievements filtering, League Task filtering etc) A bonfire has been added north of home directly next to the bank chest, allowing the dumbs people who didn't choose Trickster to train their firemaking in a relaxed environment Updated the Home area to be more aesthetic, added new shops and objects for various activities The grand exchange is now raised from the ground There is an adventure log tablet, allowing you to view anyone's adventure log There are new shops providing new supplies with custom interfaces The speed running board has been added and will rotate a new boss every week with Bonds as a reward Future Updates Quote I was hoping that Varlamore and the Colosseum update occurred prior to launching 4.0, but unfortunately the date is too far out to hold off on releasing everything else (even though it was announced almost a year ago) As such, sometime in April or May I will release the Varlamore expansion & Colosseum update 3.
