Patch Notes/2 June 2020

General

Rule-clarification(s)

Slayer and bosses

When your active task is to obtain a unique from a boss which have a Slayer version of it, e.g. Dagannoth Kings, K'ril, K'ree, Boss-dragons etc., you are NOT allowed to force Slayer assignments for it, as that would net you unnecessary experience in Slayer, which is not needed for the task. This feature is being considered for an unlock down the line.

Shop or drop

Due to a lot of questions being asked recently, rule 7 “Shop or drop” has been simplified. It now reads: "If an item featured in a drop-log can be obtained from both shops and drops, it must always be gotten as a drop to complete your task, as buying it does not register it in its drop-log. You can buy and use the item, but it doesn't count towards your task."

Player-owned Farm

The tasks for buyable Player-owned farm animals were changed/deleted. Some were swapped for tasks unlocking a certain pen size, while others were completely removed. Tasks were added to cover all pen sizes. See the announcement of 28-05-2020 for more details.

Resetting of tasks that have had an extra step added

The Long- and Curved bone tasks have been unticked for everyone, as the requirements to complete the task have changed. On top of obtaining the bones, you are now required to hand them over to Barlak. Upon completion of the task you’re allowed to hand any future bones in when you need Construction experience.

Cabbage Facepunch Bonanza

13 uniques (and tasks) were added for the Cabbage Facepunch Bonanza minigame. These uniques cover the abilities that can be used inside the minigame, the bonus experience rewards, the patch bomb and the VIP tickets from the rewards-store. The experience and VIP tickets are stand-alone tasks, as completing those will allow you to return to the minigame at will for more of said item. See below for their distribution in the tiers.

Tasks forcing quests

Fancily named excuses to do a quest such as "Gain access to the Power Station" or "Summon a Giant Wolpertinger" have been unmasked and will now appear for what they really are. In the format of "Complete the 'Perils of Ice Mountain' quest".

• Removed the 42 crafting requirement/suggestion from the Crab uniques task as people either have the level when they roll the task, or are capable of killing Waterfiends, which they should, if they do not have the Crafting level already.
