Welcome to Patch Notes XXVIII (#28, noobs). We have a lot of exciting things to announce here today! A wide range of new content, features, & some bug fixes of course.
With the entire Ely team now getting settled into their new positions and everyone filling their spots nicely, we're working like a finely-tuned machine. Expect great things.
Without anymore nonsense blabbering, let's get into this week's update..
First & foremost, some bug fixes & changes:
A number of items have been re-made tradable again such as:
Be sure to keep reporting items that are not tradable that should be, this may not be all.
ALSO:
Added Desert Lizards to their respective spot:
Mudskipper Point now spawns Mogres.
1HP Cave Horrors have been replaced their with proper NPC's.
Royal Crossbow has been given a base value of 1M GP.
Graceful Body bug corrected.
Completionist Cape & T now require max level in all skills to wear (oops).
Christmas Mystery Box's "very rare" table (Sleigh, Scythe, etc) has been given an adjustment upwards to increase the chances of hitting those.
Santa Costume Top has been fixed.
Donor System (Unlockables) has been REVAMPED Completely
Since the beginning of Ely, our Donor System & it's perk's were reliant upon purchasing Unlockables for mostly basic RS content.
Over the course of time I've discussed multiple times eventually re-vamping it and considered removing them completely.
Today now marks the day that has finally been accomplished. We have removed the Unlockables from requiring to be purchased separately.
When you become a Donor now, as small as the Guthix ($5) Donor you now receive access to all this content automatically in the Donor Zone.
No longer will you have to purchase an Unlockable to fish Rocktails. The moment you become a Donor to Ely, you receive access to this in DZ.
As well as all the others such as: Loom Crafting, Warlock Hunting, Gold Mineral Mining, etc.
What happens if I already purchased one or more of these Unlockables?
Good question, and we addressed this. Every account that has purchased these Unlockables will see an EPoint refund
automatically credited to their account upon login. If you purchased Rocktail Fishing & all 3 levels of Runespan, your account
will be credited every EPoint you spent to acquire them and you may re-use those points in the shop for whatever you please!
Runespan is now free for everyone to use!
Runespan is now open for anyone to use as an alternative training method for Runecrafting, NOT only Donors!
You can see & teleport to Runespan via Wizard Distentor located right nearby the home bank. See below:
Introducing: Presets
We have brought the ability to create & save presets to Ely!
This is such an amazing feature & will make playing Ely even that much more exciting.
To get started, I'm going to explain how to properly use this system & how it works..
The Preset Manager interface will be found in your Squeal of Fortune Tab, shown below:
Once there, you will be presented with your one & only default preset (cannot be deleted).
From here, is where you can edit your default preset, or create new ones.
Creating a new preset is very simple & straightforward. To do this, click on the "Configure Presets" button.
You will be presented with a new slew of options in your chat box, shown below:
To create a new one, click on "Save Preset" then "Save as new preset."
Doing so will save whatever items that are currently equipped as well as any items in your inventory.
So you could, per-say; equip a gear load-out & fill your inventory with whatever brews or other equipment
you may need to do something such as PvMing / Bossing a particular boss and save it as a "Corp" load-out.
And at any time you are going to head to Corp, all you have to do now is click the finger icon and your character will be suited up.
Keep in mind: when switching presets, or loading one, you cannot have any items on your character or inventory. Be sure to bank everything!
The preset's can be fully customized. For example you can change the preset icon to anything you'd like by clicking "Change Icon Item."
You can set a description like I have in the image above such as, "Corp" by clicking "Change Description."
These presets can get even more interesting than just this. You also have the ability to create unique presets that also save custom levels.
To do so, when creating a new preset, click on the "Set Level" option.
This will present you with a new menu in your chat box to adjust levels in skills such as: Attack, Strength, Defense, Prayer, Magic, Summoning, etc.
Keep in mind: Using the Set Level option will NOT grant you any combat XP while using a preset with custom levels set!
Once done setting your levels for whatever purpose (maybe a Pure preset?) just click the "Configure Presets" button in the SOF tab to return to the previous menu.
From there you can simply click "Save Preset" and choose between saving this as a new preset, or update the current one & you're done!
If you have a preset with custom levels saved, you will notice this change by visiting the skills tab, shown below:
To return your skills (or setup) back to normal, just click the default preset option.
We really hope you guy's enjoy this weeks update & remember, please report any bugs you may come across to our forums and/or Discord!
