Editing Patch Notes/1 March 2021

==Rule Changes==

===Shifting Tombs===
You are NO LONGER ALLOWED to have experience turned on when doing Shifting Tombs. Once all uniques have been obtained, however, Shifting Tombs can be utilized as a training method.

===Lucky Charm uniques===
Changed the descriptions of the lucky charm unique tasks to allow any of the Elite dungeons to be done for tokens to buy lucky charms with.

===Rule #4 (Time-Gated Tasks)===
*Change title to: Rule #4, Special tasks in the active tiers
*Added a section titled Supply tasks:
**''Supply tasks ["Create x of a particular item"] are tasks made specifically for Taskmen. They are intended to smooth the training curve for particular skills or grant you useful consumables. While training skills for other tasks, items which have supply tasks are not restricted. If, as a consequence, you already have enough of the required item when you roll the supply task, it may be automatically completed.''

===Rule #5 (Group PvM)===
*Rephrased part of the section allowing you to assist other Taskmen in group encounters:
**''To be allowed to help other Taskmen do group content (group boss uniques or group PvM achievements), without having an active task yourself, you must have unlocked the reaper portal of the relevant boss and have at least 1 task for a unique or Achievement from the relevant boss left in your current tier.''

===Rule #7 (Item acquisition)===
* Rephrased part of the rule in order to allow killing and skilling on equal terms, if one method is more efficient (without completing other tasks) than another:
**''Most tasks require you to obtain one or more items in order to complete them. When acquiring an item, the following applies: If items are readily accessible from shops, buy them there. If they can be obtained by both skilling and killing monsters, choose the faster method. The items required fit roughly in 3 different categories, being buyable, dropped and crafted items. If a task specifically states where to obtain an item, that is where you must go.''

===Rule #9 (Clues)===
* Added a section titled Flowers:
**''If the 40 mithril seeds obtained from the Waterfall quest is insufficient to secure you a set of blue and a set of yellow flowers for use in your easy clue emote steps, you’re out of luck. Due to the quest-point requirement for Legend’s quest (which is the only other source of mithril seeds), you are NOT allowed to do that quest in order to complete those specific emote steps.''

===Rule #10 (Specific Skills)===

A number of changes and additions have been made to rulings on specific skills:

====Agility====
Alfred Grimhand’s Barcrawl cannot be completed purely to access the Barbarian Agility arena for training purposes.

====Dungeoneering====
You must do the bare minimum to complete the dungeon, but you are allowed to open as many doors as possible. You can only create items that would immediately speed up your Dungeoneering training, e.g. weapons and arrows (to bind), runes (for teleporting/ combat), or are otherwise required for completing your dungeon/ task. 

If you're doing token-farming with other players, refer to the group-pvm rules.

The following segment will be expanded upon with the update late March 2021: Regarding the Daemonheim achievement diaries, tasks from these sets can be completed as opportunities present themselves during Dungeoneering training due to the RNG-nature of the dungeons. You cannot, however, claim any of the set rewards or train your stats to complete the tasks prior to rolling the set task. 

====Farming====
You are allowed to utilize any seeds you have the Farming level to plant, unless doing so completes other tasks - this includes seeds that award experience in skills other than Farming, too.
Notes: This includes, for instance, grapevines.

====Fishing====
You are allowed to fish for raw fish when your active task requires Cooking experience.

====Herblore====
You are allowed to 1-step handle non-herblore experience awarding secondaries when your active task requires Herblore experience. This means that you can collect new or process already owned materials (once) to use as secondaries. 

To name a few examples, this allows you to cook swordfish you have previously caught to use for Cooking potions, catch Grenwalls for their spikes to use in extreme ranging potions, craft Mud runes and grind them for extreme magic potions or kill unicorns and grind their horns for super antipoison potions. 

You can’t, however, fish swordfish AND cook them, as that would be 2-step handling on non-herblore experience awarding secondaries.

Extensive notes: '''THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HERBLORE UNLOCKS OR TIER PERKS - IT APPLIES ONLY FOR ACTIVE TASKS REQUIRING HERBLORE EXPERIENCE.'''

====Mining====
You are allowed to mine gemstones when your active task requires Crafting experience.

You are allowed to mine any ores necessary when your active task requires Smithing.

====Runecrafting====
If your active task requires runes (either for combat or otherwise), and regular GP currency shops are out of stock or do not sell them, you are allowed to Runecraft them, assuming you have the level and essence to do so.

====Slayer====
You are NOT allowed to toggle the option to be assigned Aquanites, Tormented Demons or Glacors as Slayer assignments until all their uniques have been obtained. Nightmare gauntlets obtained from Nightmare creatures have their drop-rate improved on assignment and are therefore exempt from this rule.

When your active task requires you to obtain an item/unlock using Slayer points, you are NOT allowed to skip assignments using Slayer points.

If a Special Slayer assignment can complete non-Slayer unique tasks (KQ, Jad), you are not allowed to complete it.

====Summoning====
You are allowed to 1-step handle non-summoning experience awarding tertiaries when your active task requires Summoning experience. This means that you can collect new or process already owned materials (once) to use as tertiaries.

To name a few examples, this allows you to mine granite for Granite lobsters, chop willow logs for Beavers, smelt already owned ores into bars for various Minotaurs and hunt kyatts for Spirit Kyatts.

Extensive notes: '''THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SUMMONING UNLOCKS OR TIER PERKS - IT APPLIES ONLY FOR ACTIVE TASKS REQUIRING SUMMONING EXPERIENCE.''' At all other times you’re limited to rule #6

==Unlocks==
* Added an unlock allowing you to utilize Shifting Tombs as a training method when your active task requires EXP awarded from the activity. Only the skill you need experience in can be toggled, to the last task to “Discover something unique in the Shifting Tombs”.
* Added an unlock to the task to "Hear the Tales of the Godwars", allowing you to complete Feng, the bounty master's bounties on a daily basis.
* Added an unlock to the “Obtain a platypus” task, allowing you to mine the daily red- and crystal sandstone when you meet their respective requirements.
* Added an unlock to the “"Obtain the witchdoctor mask" task, allowing you a weekly chance at obtaining a unique piece.
