Patch Notes
Fixes and Improvements in this Week's Game Update
The Beach ⛱
- There is no longer messaging saying 'no more XP can be earned' when skilling at a beach activity, with maximum temperature, using an advanced cocktail.
- The broadcast that is announced for a Clawdie pet drop now states the correct number of kills the drop was obtained on.
- Examining another player's Clawdie pet will no longer show your own Clawdia killcount.
- Balanced Strike can no longer be used against Clawdia.
- A typo in the Dungeoneering hole for when Gordie appears has been fixed.
- The Summer prize token is now tradeable on the Grand Exchange for ironmen.
General 🔧
- Removed a skill check so that clearing a Farming patch should now be faster and more consistent for lower-level players.
- NPC healing from the Balanced Strike ability is now capped at 30,000 to prevent players healing bosses indefinitely.
- Thalmund's Wednesday shop can now be tracked in Adventures->Minigames->D&Ds.
