Game Jam Continues & Combat Mastery Check In - This Week In RuneScape

Game Jam is heading into its second and final week, continuing with the format that gives our J-Mods more time to flesh out their projects. In the meantime here are some of the ideas and projects that have cropped up this week!

Mod Ramen

Cleaning up the world space has been a common theme for game jams and Mod Ramen is looking into removing Tuska and all that entails! (Don't mind the long bridge, a wizard did it.)

Mod Sponge

Always looking to improve combat, Mod Sponge is casting a wide net and working on a few things such as improving shields, basic attacks and removing rarely used abilities. Hit him up with any suggestions!

Mod Blkwitch

In their neverending quest to polish the game world Blkwitch is seeing if we can move the Melzars maze underground and clean up its entrance. With help from amazing concept art from Mod Dbarker

Mod Breezy

Mod Breezy is working alongside resident superstars Stu and Shrew on the previously announced Fletching Re-tiering (Check out this document for more details) and diving into the player examine interface to see what can be improved!

Mod Alex

Alex joins the crusade to update various buildings across Gielinor with his focus on the Lumbridge Windmill and Dark Wizard Tower.

We look forward to sharing more on these ongoing projects.

Speaking of Game Jam, in some of the previous jams Mod Sponge and Mod Dorn had both been working on some quality of life updates to Farming! These updates go live next week:

• Added a new low-level grapevine seed that can be obtained from various low- to mid-level monsters to grow existing grapes.
• Reeds and grapevines are no longer more likely to get diseased when watered.
• Players can now use compost on a hops patch that already has a frame in it.
• A Farming Reputation of 4,000 is no longer required to unlock the ability to grow a 4th Spirit Tree.
• By default, incense sticks and Prayer powders are no longer cleared upon death.
• The unlock has been replaced with a chance to make an extra incense stick when adding the herb.
• Herb seeds, grimy herbs, clean herbs, unfinished potions, as well as herb Farming patches have been recoloured for consistency.
• And much more!

These changes will be released next week on Tuesday, May 6th, as there is another bank holiday on Monday.
