We've heard your feedback on Fresh Start Worlds and have some changes to announce – read on for all the updates, including our new release date! Plus, we've got a brand new Yak Track that's sure to drive you wild... Let's dive in!
Yak Track: Expedition to the Wilderness
All new track inspired by the iconic location
Take a walk on the Wildy side this month with Yak Track: Expedition to the Wilderness!
Complete fun tasks on the latest track and unlock lore-rich cosmetics inspired by the recently-revamped Wilderness. Upgrade to Premium for truly wild rewards including the Vagabond Knight’s Outfit, Dark Beast Pet and more! You get a Yak Sack item at stages throughout the track and on every completion of the Infinite Reward task. This item gives you an array of useful rewards as well as a rare chance at the new Shoulder Capes!
Remember you can choose which activity to complete at every tier, or just use Bonds to grab a Task Skip if you’re not feeling any of the tasks at a particular stage.

Fresh Start Worlds - Your Feedback
Thank you so much for all your feedback on Fresh Start Worlds since last week’s announcement. We really appreciate your insight as we embark on a new concept for RuneScape! Click here to read our newspost which has the full update on some of the changes we’re making.
Highlights include:
- Rebalancing of XP multipliers and Boons.
- Limiting use of Bonds during the Competitive Period.
- A way for existing players to exchange Bonds for Membership on another account in order to access Free Start Worlds.
- A commitment to making FSW rewards available through other means in future.
We've also put together an FAQ covering topics around gameplay, payment, rewards and more.
RuneScape: Fresh Start Worlds is now launching on September 26th 2022.
Patch Notes
Fixes and improvements in this week's game update
Wilderness Ruleset
- Wearing the Mask of Gloom now correctly forces a Dark Beast Slayer Tasks.
- The Ice Block shortcut at Ghorrock can now be used while in combat.
The Beach 2022
- We reverted the Lumbridge Crater after the Beach event ended, but a rogue Bank chest icon remained on the world map. This has now been removed.
Other Fixes
- Fixed players turning invisible when standing where Adresteia used to stand before Zamorak's quest.
- Fixed an issue where the Augmented Dragon Pickaxe turns into an Orikalkum Pickaxe upon dying in PVP in the Wilderness.
- Fixed an issue where you could not use the Snipe ability while moving if you were wearing Enhanced Nightmare Gauntlets in PvP.
Requirements Changes
In the coming months, RuneScape will no longer support Windows 32-bit builds or graphics cards that do not support OpenGL 3.0 or higher. This change allows us to focus our technical development and testing resources on more commonly-used platforms.
