November Graphical Updates & DXP - This Week In RuneScape

November Graphical Updates & DXP - This Week In RuneScape

Gielinor's looking better than ever this week with texture improvements and a graphical update for Entrana! It's also time to get skilling with our last Double XP event of the year.

Visual Improvements
A fresh coat

Or to use the proper title, a ‘Default non metal Specular value change’... Hey, that’s what it says in the notes! Today's update will bring some improvements to textures of certain materials that you may have felt were looking a little washed out. These changes will enhance the colour and shading of a few visuals around Gielinor.

Here you can see it affects not only outfits but also pets, enemies and environments :

Before Left/ After Right

Couple more outfits for reference!

Check out the world and see where this change adds more depth of colour and let us know your favourite outfits!


November Area Graphical Update : Entrana
With more to come soon

We’re going to be putting out a few graphical updates over the next month or so, starting today with Entrana - everyone's favourite reminder that you’ve got the wrong shoes on. Mod Zact has led the charge by bringing the island’s geometry up to date, and even giving the monks a brand new boat! Check out the changes below…

We'll have more area updates throughout November and early December!


Double XP Live
Launches Friday the 10th

Vorkath and Zemouregal are set to smash down your Fort and set loose the undead forces! What better way to prepare than with the return of Double XP Live? Pump up your combat skills to get in shape, or boost your Herblore to stay stocked up on supplies - whatever skill you need DXP will help you achieve your goals.

With this DXP we are introducing an additional element - DXP Tokens. These tokens are earned by earning DXP Spirits intermittently while skilling* or by using Proteans and Dummies. Alternatively, if you have any unwanted Proteans, you can convert up to 10000 of them daily to use them on something more valuable to you!

These DXP Tokens can be exchanged during any DXP LIVE for stars, skilling outfit pieces, elite skilling outfit pieces and even a few items from Vic The Trader's store. The DXP Token Store will be available during Double XP: LIVE events, and any tokens earned persist into future events.

*Note: Spirits will automatically claim when they expire, so if you're going into DXP LIVE AFK style, you won't be missing out on earning Tokens!

DXP LIVE is a 10-day event where you have 48 Hours of Double XP to use at your leisure. You can pause the timer if you need to do other activities but don't want to lose out on that precious DXP time. If you won't be using all your hours, you can trade an hour of DXP per day for credits to use with Nic The Trader. More about how it works here!

Double XP LIVE kicks off Friday, November 10th until Monday, November 20th, starting and ending at 12:00 PM Game Time.
