We really hope you've had chance to check out the latest changes to the RuneScape Mobile Limited Beta. We rolled out a huge update earlier this week that included a significantly overhauled and optimised UI, lots of performance improvements and all manner of in-game enhancements.
But the work on preparing the Beta for a larger roll out never stops!
More Mobile Changes
Last week’s mobile update saw the introduction of a new home screen, an upgraded buff bar, and a complete revamp of the Burthorpe and Taverley areas. It's great to see that these updates were received so positively by the community. Your feedback has been coming in, and we’re pleased to say that we’ve already made some changes:
Please keep talking to us about the new mobile experience. You can join the discussion on the official forums, or on Reddit, Discord, or Twitter.

Did you miss the first week of the raffle? Never fear! For just one bond, Balthazar will hand over any raffle tickets you’ve missed so far, and he’ll also keep hold of any others you might miss until the end of the event.
Twitch Prime
We’ve once again partnered with Twitch to bring you some exclusive loot! Whilst active, Twitch Prime members can grab some free loot, including some exclusive outfit pieces!
This month, each and every one of you who’s a Twitch Prime member can grab a free Premium Currency Pack (200 RuneCoins, 15 Keys, 40 Hearts of Ice). How to redeem your gains? Simple, follow the link below and make sure you follow all steps of the process.
For instructions on how to claim and redeem your loot, click here.
Annual Survey
RuneScape is what it is thanks to its players, so getting as much feedback from you as we possibly can means absolutely everything. The Annual Survey offers you a chance to get the briefest glimpse of what we may have in store for the year ahead, but also lets us better understand the direction in which our development plans should be heading. Head on over here to have your say and help shape Gielinor’s destiny.

LootScape
Our live streams are always a great opportunity to grab some awesome in-game prizes. And as our first adventurers set foot on Land Out of Time (or as we call it “LOoT”), we thought you’d like an update of the LootScape. Ok, roll the drums and behold… our LOoTScape!
This month, each and every RuneScape stream watched will give you a random drop from one of the following:
Guaranteed:
Chance based:
Basic Drop Table: Prismatic small fallen star, Prismatic medium fallen star, Prismatic small lamp, Prismatic medium lamp, Spirit Ruby, Spirit Diamond, Advanced Pulse Core, Spring, Silverhawk down, Medium DG Token Box, Small DG Token Box, Uncut Dragonstone, Large Cash Bag, Medium Cash Bag or Small Cash Bag.
Exciting isn’t it?! So don’t wait up - connect your RS account to your Twitch account and find out more here. Once that’s done, have fun and watch our streams during the day for a guaranteed drop.

Tuesday, September 10th – 16:00 UTC (Game Time) – General Q&A + RS Quiz

And in the second part of our stream, we’ll give you a challenge! You think you know everything about RuneScape? EVERYTHING? Let’s test your skills, and you better study the RS Wiki. Rewards? Jeez, talk about loot hunters. Hum ok, there will be prizes, but for the very best!

Saturday, September 14th – 13:00 UTC (Game Time) – Wazzy Featured Stream
This week, our featured streamer is Wazzy! Join him for a full day of community Solak bossing, and he’ll be taking selected viewers from the Twitch chat directly in-game so be sure to join if you’re in for some high-stakes PvM!
This featured stream is also an opportunity to grab a LootScape! That’s right, you can now receive in-game loot when you watch a RuneScape streamer. It works exactly the same way as our official streams, just watch Wazzy’s stream on (his Twitch channel) and you’ll receive the LootScape the following day.
LootScape will be enabled (see all details above).
