Add ability to tan noted leather and noted dragonhides - Still keep the GP cost, it will be removed from pouch in bulk. Fix decanter NPC at home to decant potions correctly - Let us choose which dosage to decant into. Let us use noted herbs and vials of water on same decanter NPC to have him auto decant our unfinished potions. (We don't gain xp from them making anyway) - Adding the ingredient to make potions remains unchanged, this is just the unfinished step. Change arrows/bolts fletching to 420 per cycle, up from 150. (28 actions instead of 10) - Darts are already at 420 per cycle. Change altar at ;;tele ruins to automatically bless an inventory of un-noted void bones one by one - Currently it has to be done 1 at a time (This change will make it take 28 seconds to bless 28 one by one automatically) Add releasing butterflies from jars when caught. Change adding tree seeds to plant pot into an automatic process after initial action. (Plant pots un-noted of course (27 max per cycle)) Change watering seedlings into an automatic process after initial action. (Note: Magic Watering Can only, normal watering can should water until water runs out - again seedlings un-noted and max of 27 per cycle) Add option to remove confirmation box when removing furniture in PoH - Speeding up the building/clearing process. These are all intended to be quality of life changes - Please leave your honest thoughts or any changes you think could be made to the above suggestions. I appreciate some of these could have been suggested in stand alone posts previously, however they are seemingly lost in time so this is an updated post bundling them together. Thanks.

All the support we get overall from everyone is incredible not to mention the ones who have donated and showed so much love.

ECO RESET?! EOC?? SERVER RESET!? ALL ACCOUNTS DELETED?? DONOR STORE DELETED?! No. We are not taking the easy way out of this, ladies. Na, we are going to do this the right way. We heard you. The outpouring of feedback & support is being addressed. This will not be a one-size-fits-all solution - but this is the start. First & foremost I want to thank each and every one of you who felt compelled enough to give their opinion. Your feedback is what matters the most to us -- this is YOUR game after-all. Thank you to everyone who's continued to show undying support for Ely even during these times. So, what is changing to address the pressing issues? The most reoccurring issue in the "Current State of Ely" thread was updates & a lack thereof. Therefore, the most pressing & immediate change we needed to make was at the top of Ely's management. This means mostly the development field. We house some of the most talented people I've ever worked with. However, life changes. Life outside RSPS moves on. This caused quite a gap in the love needed to keep Ely happy & fulfilled. With that said we've all worked together & came to a conclusion in which benefits the players of Ely the most. Our beloved developer @Matt has stepped down from being a full-time developer and remaining on as Co-Owner but will still fulfill his duties when needed. He will continue to do his work behind-the-scenes and on the extremely important stuff our player's don't see. Our beloved content creator @Luke has also stepped down to Administrator. Both of these fine fella's have a life & job outside Ely which require much of their time and find it difficult to make time to do what is required on Ely. I'd like to point out again, the obvious -- these fine fella's are not leaving us. We are simply readjusting the roles in which individuals fill to better suit the betterment of Ely as a whole. Who is going to be the Head Developer, then? We will be scouting new talent to fill the full-time position as Head Developer. This does not mean there will be a continued gap in updates. Part-time & service-based developers will be filling the role during this time. There is no ETA & wouldn't be realistic to set one. However, we will be making sure work is getting done & updates will begin to show up at a daily & predicable pace. How will this fix the issue? As mentioned above the most reoccurring issue mentioned was updates. The solution to that is simple -- more frequent updates. Our current Team is struggling to deliver so we are adjusting that. We have already began on this process and you'll read more about what we've done below. With all that said - going forward we will do our absolute best to be transparent about the updates that are being worked on & what is coming in the future. This means more communication, polling, & involvement by YOU overall in the direction of the server. What about the diminishing count of active players? This is a double-edged sword. We are currently in what is known as the slowest time of the year for RSPS as a whole. This doesn't just affect Ely, this affects all areas of RSPS, development forums such as Rune-Server, RuneLocus, Toplist sites & everything else. This is my 3rd Winter running Ely & every year, at the same time -- this happens. It's nothing to worry about. Another facet of this is during these times I am very frugal on all (if any) ads we buy. Due to the declined traffic during these months the value advertisements bring to the server equate to much less -- but their prices remain the same. Therefore spending money in this area during these months is as good as throwing it out the window. Taking these two things, declining RSPS traffic overall + less active ads = our current state. This is not to say the pace of updates has nothing to do with this -- sure it can affect it. This is why the first thing we addressed was our development above. Everything mentioned above is changing. In late March to April traffic picks up, many more advertisements will go live & starting now the development team is back on track. What are you doing to address other issues outside development? Overall, the largest & most pressing issue is in fact, development. That has been solved as of the posting of this thread. However another reoccurring theme that was somewhat prominent was the Exclusive Mystery Boxes. It is believed that the economy is struggling in-game and while I believe there is some truth to that -- it's not the full story. After taking a closer look at the economy we noticed items are coming into the game at a significantly faster pace than they are leaving. Where are they meant to go? What are you supposed to do with all your extras? We needed to remedy this immediately and as of now we believe we have a solution -- one of which has been suggested for a long time. The Well of Goodwill will be available very shortly. More information on this update can be found below. However, the Boxes are not the sole cause. To refer back above mentioning the reasons why the player count seems to be diminishing; another part of this is 75% of the active players are loyal players who have been playing, grinding & stacking bank while purchasing boxes for the past year. So what you guys see is not the whole story. It's a conglomerate of the results of slowed growth, item influx, lack of cash sinks & little development all in one. With that said, we believe the Well of Goodwill is the most appropriate solution to the Box issues that we're mentioned - you will be able to donate your items in return for server-wide benefits that give everyone an exciting boost. They will no longer serve no purpose building up within your banks - you can now use them to benefit everybody while doing your part in cleaning up the economy. Some last words in regards to this overall.. We are making a lot of changes. We are re-hauling everything to better suit you. We are shaking off the loose pieces. We are giving Ely a new home & throwing away Lunar Isle. We are returning to the basics. We are going to focus a lot more on community involvement & events. To fulfill this we are incorporating some basic skilling abilities right at the new home. We are introducing a brand new Staff rank known as "Event Manager" - this individual will be creating, managing & hosting daily events, activities & will have the ability to trigger server-wide events such as drop rate boosts in certain areas, massing events & more. We are adding monthly voting rewards to the top voters. We will be pushing out updates and fixing bugs at a faster pace. We are adding the Well of Goodwill. We killed a bunch of bugs and fulfilled a bunch of suggestions. We sincerely hope this remedies your worries about the direction of Ely. We believe this changes everything. We are changing the core of Ely. We are adapting to what you asked for. This is only the beginning. The Next Update The next update will be including some incredible changes. Take a look below at what's to come.. Going Back Home - Edgeville We have packed our stuff and moved back home to Edgeville. What are some of the benefits of this? - Incorporated more skilling at home, more togetherness. - Added a permanent Bonfire - Added Ivy to the walls of the Bank - Added an Anvil in the Furnace Building - Making the centerpiece of this home a Well of Goodwill. - More familiarity for everyone from Vets to new players. Most Sought-After Update; the Well of Goodwill This has taken longer than it should have. You can see a more full picture above where the Well is located at home. So, let's get into the details.. This will be a 3-Tiered Well of Goodwill. Each Tier achieved will start a server-wide bonus. Each time a Tier is achieved it triggers the respective event for 1 hour. The Well accepts both items & GP. Tier 1 - 500M Donated - 25% XP Boost Tier 2 - 1B Donated - 50% XP Boost Tier 3 - 2B Donated - x2 XP Boost + 10% Drop Rate Boost When Tier 3 is achieved, no more can be donated until the 1 hour passes. Once the time expires, you will be able to donate again for another hour of benefits. This is only just the beginning. We will tweak, advance & adjust the Well to what best suits our players & economy going forward. Event Manager, Staff Changes & Elysians The new Staff position; Event Manager. This role will be tasked with creating, managing & hosting server-wide events. The possibilities of this role will be endless. Their main purpose & responsibility will be bringing the community together. This will include having the ability to trigger server-wide events in specific locations, new notification system to organize & more. They will also be tasked with creating events a couple days a week. Expect to see a lot more activity & exiting things with this update. Who will be the Event Manager? @Jordan Staff Changes @Callum has been demoted. @Masoud has been demoted. @IttzKaotic has been demoted. @Enzyme has been demoted. @Kemi has been moved to Moderator. Thank you to each & every one of these fine people. Due to the lack of need of Staff, activity, interest & more we are sorry to let you go but what you've done for us in your positions has not gone unnoticed. Thank you for the privilege of working with yous. A Word about the Elysian Rank The beta-testing role has been removed. We are no longer going to provide more rifts between the players and the development of the server. We are going to become more transparent and involve all our players who'd like to be involved in the development of Ely going forward. Therefore; Elysians are no longer needed. Thank you to those who were apart of this program - it was really beneficial during it's time. Punishment Log Reset What's a revamp without a second chance for the gone & forgotten players who have been IP Banned, Mac Banned, IP Muted and so on? The posting of this thread signifies a lift & removal of all bans & mutes across the board. Monthly Voting Rewards The top 3 voters of every month will now be receiving rewards for their support towards Ely. This is still in the early stages and yet to be finalized. This will however be done by the time this update goes live. Bug Fixes & Suggestions (Still being added too) Few bugged cave horrors have been replaced by the proper NPC Gargoyle that spawns in the abyssal demons room in slayer tower has been removed Purple slayerhelm withdrawn as note has been fixed Toktz-xil-ul have been fixed Added 1 more iron dragon to ancient cavern Celestial items now have a base value of 50m gp Cannonball packs (1000) can now be purchased from the slayer point shop for 300 points Added noted butterfly jars to the hunter store, you're welcome iron men Soft clay has been added to the construction shop Items made tradable: Boogie Bow, Rainbow Afro, Xmas Sleigh, Suitcase, Coloured Gnome Scarfs, Eggsterminator, Fancy Boots, Basket of eggs, Barrel hats from Lepprechaun, Grim Reaper Hood Final Words First I'd like to point out -- NONE of this is live in-game yet. This is more a start to our plan to become more transparent to the community about what is currently happening behind the scenes. Second, this is not a COMPLETE list of all the changes. There will be more & hopefully just as exciting things to be added come time to update. Third, this update will be coming out really soon - but cannot provide an exact time. Overall, we are hard at work at addressing the concerns of the community and I absolutely hope you can see that in this post. We are trying our best. Lastly I must say again -- this is only just the beginning.

@askbrown A megathread

Hey everyone! Long time no see, righhhhtt?? I know, I've missed this just as much as everyone else has, I'm SURE. But boooyo me, do we have A LOT to go over.. First and foremost, I'd like to give myself this opportunity to say a massive thank you to @Lationand the rest of the community within Ely to have trusted me and allowed me to be Ely's 4th ever Administrator! To keep it short and sweet, it's an honor to get to play this game with likeminded individuals with similar interests, and get to baby sit you all just about everyday . Nonetheless, I'm fortunate enough to be in a position as a 'player' to make subtle, yet much needed changes and adjustments that the vast majority of the community, and myself think is necessary in order for Ely to maintain relevancy and it's overall fun atmosphere. I hope I can truly be a voice for the average player when it comes to adding and creating content for the game. Anyways, I'm glad to be here & I love you all! Now that's over, let's get into the actual meat and potato's.. Shall we? So a little TL;DR (too long didn't read) of the main updates, February to Present Day; ‣ Revamped CoX Drop Table & added/adjusted drop rates + fixed Vanguard point farming + refined/patched bugs within CoX. ‣ Karambwans & Purple sweets no longer reset your attack timers. ‣ Fixed Rune pouch unlimited runes bug. ‣ Introduced 2FA security measures. ‣ Adjusted Olm's PvM Point reward. ‣ Added Twisted bow passive. ‣ Magic accuracy changes. Present day, this is what @Xenith, @Mattand I (mostly Xenith & Matt, as I can barely read and write, let alone code), have been working on for the greater part of a few weeks. Just little tweaks us and a few players of the game thought might be in need of a little love.. Our plan this patch was to go in and find things that were lacking in either content, usability, or non functional things in general that we have access to in-game, but rewards are lackluster & unfulfilling. Alongside that and a few other things, we've added a new feature of acquiring Skilling coffers as well as Clue scrolls from participating in certain Skilling activities, huge thanks to @Isofor the stellar idea! Check out what else we've updated this patch so far: Drop Table Changes The following drop tables have been updated because they all felt really lackluster for where you are at in the game when you are getting these for slayer tasks. ‣ Mithril Dragons ‣ Steel Dragons ‣ Iron Dragons ‣ The entire Living Rock Cavern ‣ Aquanites ‣ Suqah’s ‣ Experiments Barrows Reward Buffs Added the following items to the barrows drop table to make it more enticing. ‣ Karambwan ‣ Hard/Elite Clues ‣ Mid/High tier coffers ‣ Coffer Key ‣ Amulet of the Damned Skilling Changes You can now receive Skiller’s coffers and any clue rarity from various skilling activities. ‣ Mining ‣ Woodcutting (no Ivy) ‣ Fishing ‣ Thieving (Pickpockets and Stalls) ‣ Hunter (Catching flying things; butterflies and implings) ‣ Agility (By completing a course) Karambwan Fishing In addition to adding these to various drop tables across the game in small quantities you can now catch raw karambwan through big net fishing and cook them like any normal food. Added Farming Outfit (Obtainable through Skilling coffers) ‣ Each piece gives 1% XP & 1% extra harvests, set bonus is an additional 1% to both. Added Carpenters Outfit (Obtainable through Skilling coffers) ‣ Each piece gives 1% XP bonus, set bonus is an additional 2%. Bugs, Fixes & Stat Adjustments ‣ Adjusted stats + added Ranged Str to Sagittarian shortbow + longbow (SB - ranged attack 75 > 90 + 50 Str) (LB - ranged attack 158 > 95 + 55 str) ‣ Adjusted stats of t1/t2 Anguish necklace (t2 = 41 ranged attack > 66, 16 ranged str > 37) , (t1 = 35 ranged attack > 60, 10 ranged str > 33) ‣ Nerfed Heavy ballista + D javs (max hit 50 > 45 - tbow max hit 54) (ranged attack 80 > 60) (str 90 > 75) (dragon jav str 135 > 120) ‣ Adjusted stats of Dragon hunter crossbow (ranged attack 120 > 244 ) (str 30 > 84) (t3 ccb max - 32 | dhcb - 44) ‣ Adjusted stats of Hexhunter bow (ranged attack 77 > 84 + str 75 > 85) + added passive. ‣ Fixed being unable to deposit all if your bank had more than 972 items in it ‣ Adjusted stats of Elder maul + fixed stance & attack animation. ‣ Added ranged strength to darts within the Toxic blowpipe. ‣ Fixed bug where you wouldn't get a gravestone within Monster Carnage minigame. ‣ Fixed CoX 1 loot rolls, you now roll 3 unless it's a unique drop (Tbow, Kodai, etc). ‣ Loot from CoX no longer disappears if inventory is full. ‣ Twisted bow now consumes arrows. ‣ REMOVED Dominion Tower cutscenes. ‣ Magic secateurs & Greenfinger aura variants now work properly. ‣ Added 200/2000 damage cap to Grae & increased caps at Nex + Wildy wyrm from 100/1000 > 150/1500. (Ruby E's excluded). ‣ Reduced Commander Zilyana's stats slightly, her damage was WAY too much. ♡ Final Words ♡ Again, an absolute monster of a thank you to @Xenithfor going the extra mile this patch. Man's doing GODS work. This is just the beginning.. We've got some more exciting updates coming out in the next coming weeks, which will be even more QoL, more additions to Slayer & Slayer monsters! PERHAPS, wildyslayer??? Thank you all for sticking around & reading, GL & until next time gamers

Bank Changes Bank Capacity Increased to 800 Items will no longer be unclickable and disappear with a full bank Bank Pin settings can be accessed from the bank by everyone You can now toggle the default left click withdrawal/deposit amount Note withdrawal and insert/swap mode will now save when you logout Just a small update to the interface and functionality. Hope you all enjoy!

During the process of updating the Vote Shop we thought why not add a "Bobble-head" type version of the original Ely outfit I use to wear on the daily. This is the origin of this pet & it's significance. Yes, if you didn't already get enough of me.. now you can take me anywhere ) New "Ely Patriot" cosmetic set New "Ely Rune Armour" set available (Rune gear - cosmetic changes) New "Bucket of Goodwill" cosmetic Click below to see the Skilling Mystery Box drop table & rates!

I want to take the time to thank each & every one of you. You guys have been incredible and enjoying this joursey & this server with you is a pleasure. Thank you for everyone who takes the time to vote for Ely daily & the ones who support us so much by all the donations. You guys are the ones who have allowed us recently to begin a new & large marketing campaign which will include the official Ely Trailer being made as I type this! There is so much more to come in the very-near future and I hope you all are as excited as I am! Leave your comments & thoughts below Thank you!

I wasn't actually going to make a post because I've been hella inactive recently and figured nobody new would know who I am anyway LOL. But I also didn't want to just disappear so I figured I'd write up something short. I've been pretty burnt out for a while now (a good maybe 6 months) and want to thank Lation for allowing me to remain on the team for all this time despite my inactivity and lack of any Administrative duties whatsoever. He's such a great guy and you're all blessed to have an Owner as caring as he is. Splash It's been a pleasure to ride the journey this source has taken with you all the way from RSPS2 to what it has become today. Watching you just start to learn modelling to creating what you have been recently has been amazing to watch mate. Everyone else I've played with and experienced this server with I'm glad to have met you. I won't disappear but I'll be working on a different project so might not be around much.

Here we are again, Kyle & for anyone that doesn't want to read all the words I'm about to type the result of this appeal is denied - so there you go. Now to the beloved player; Kyle. Where do I begin? Shall we take a step back in time and begin at the very beginning of your time on Ely? Na, let's start with the inconsistencies in your appeal which played a factor in the reason your appeal is denied - and I'll explain that more in depth shortly. You insinuate after you asked "are we ever gonna get a non-donator update" that you were instantly flamed, kicked from the server & muted in-game immediately; at least that's how it reads. Let's go back here and state FACTS, something of which you claim to be stating but are yet again, shocking: lying. So after your cute statement in the Discord you failed to mention the part where I directly replied to you - and very in-depth indeed. I even provided you with a screenshot of our past SIX (6), that is greater than 5 but less than 7, of our last updates to the game. Not one of those examples listed, which went back nearly two+ months were "donator exclusive" updates; nor can I even find such an update in the list & I only provided you with the last 6. After a little more conversation ensued between us you went on to gripe that the only updates the game gets are a "new box every week" - which I then clearly pointed out to you is in fact only one mystery box we been selling for about 9 months or so now. Which I'll gladly explain again to you here: what our Exclusive Mystery boxes are is one single box, that gets re-made and refreshed every single month to provide new and refreshing items to the game, with a much better chance at rare items than our regular Mystery box selections. These are not new boxes week to week or month to month. They are simply the same box, with new items. Here's why you got a notification every week about what you thought was "a new box every week" - these boxes are in limited supply. Which means we only release an X amount of boxes to sell per month; which is 600. Instead of making all these available at the start of the month we break it down into 4 "drops" per month - once at the start of every week in a quantity of 150. So as it would go - I would post in the "#announcements" channel (which is strictly for.. you guessed it - announcements!) every week a few hours prior to these box "drops." After this conversation you backtracked in Discord and said you only said when are we ever going to get an update. I then at this point was fed up with you and your lying / backtracking of your statements. At the time of that writing - when you asked that question, the last update was only two weeks prior. So what were you complaining about? Only God knows, Kyle.. none of us ever understand what your going on about. After the backtracking and nonsensical chit chat going on in the Discord general chat - I then kicked you from the Discord; keep in mind a "kick" is not a "ban" - two different things. Now let's move on to the next part, shall we? You mentioned in your appeal "I was then flamed, kicked from the Discord server, and muted in-game. Keep in mind that I broke no rules, said nothing related to this in game..." Here we are back at square one in which you are blatantly lying. You explicitly logged in-game after that and began ranting about the same exact issue in the public chat ingame now and then proceeded to flame me for kicking you from the Discord. Here we basically repeated ourselves again in nearly the same manner of our conversation on Discord - after just getting sick of your nonsense - I muted you. A fail-safe. You can continue to play the game you some days claim you love, and others claim is completely shit and not going anywhere - minus the nonsense that comes from your keyboard on a daily basis. Something I viewed as a win-win. So let's move to the next part of your appeal.. You state: "After reading through the rules I can confidently say that this punishment was unjust, the situation was undeserving of a mute, and for once in my life, I literally did nothing wrong, unless you count voicing a concern I have by asking a question." Let's clear something up here.. you claim you read through the rules. If you actually read the thread in its entirety than I'd assume you would have saw the part at the very top that explicitly states the following: "Staff members reserve the right to punish players for rule breaking as they see fit." Let's dig into this further. Am I a Staff member? Hell - I'm an Owner; I believe that counts as Staff. Therefore means I reserve the right to punish players for rule breaking as I see fit. So, I saw it fit that you deserved a mute. You therefore have the right to appeal that; which I have simply denied. Just because the rules don't state a mighty specific "If a player is using general chats to spread falsehoods & lies about the server & it's owner, they can be muted or banned" doesn't mean I can't do that. Let's also keep in mind this is a private server owned, run & managed by just a few individuals. We are not owned by a third-party corporation, a company, or separate entity in which we answer too. I just like to keep the peace, and when your not speaking - the server seems to be at peace. Interesting. Let's move on. Your very first reason for saying you should be un-muted is: "This kind of treatment to the playerbase is unprofessional, and not something I would expect from the staff, especially from the owner." Might I refer to the statement right above this one in which we are not owned or managed by a third party corporation, company or separate entity. Therefore our "professionalism" is entirely up to us, myself, or other owners. I would also like to refer back to the part in which I mentioned "this is a private server owned, run & managed by just a few individuals." That should answer that part.. The most hilarious part yet? Let's have us a look.. Remember some way back in this story I mentioned the part about you being a liar? We are gonna revisit that here. Your very next statement is as follows: "I'm posting this here because I shouldn't have to ask to be unmuted for doing nothing wrong, and I shouldn't have to beg the staff member who issued it to reinstate my communication rights." Let's focus on the part I took the time to enlarge & embolden. I'd like to mentioned.. when.. where.. how.. did you ever even attempt to contact me once since this mute? Let me state for the record - never. The very last time you contacted me on any platform whatsoever was on Discord on October 24th & it was about a Runecrafting Pet; Abby. I did not receive any communication from you since then until today when you sent me the link to this very appeal. So again I ask, when did you beg to have your communication reinstated? To who? Where? You know where to contact me when you need too. My Discord private messages are not restricted to server's I share with people, they are open and have been since I joined Discord in 2017. Can we quit the lying? Last but not least.. A meme: "I don't want an apology, and I don't mind staying muted, but I wanted to post this because I feel that I've been treated extremely unfairly due to an outburst of anger from a staff member. I have attempted to make this post as unbiased as possible, and to just present the facts. I know this will be taken down eventually, but I'm putting it here in the hopes that it can serve as an example of how players should NOT be treated. Thanks for reading." I will not spend time on each part of this I will just say - I'm glad you don't expect an apology because you will not find one. Also glad to hear you don't mind staying muted because you will be (until possibly one day out of the kindness of my heart I decide to lift). Also you made this post just to present the facts? Do you know fact usually mean they are not lies? Also - none of our appeals are taken down; just moved to their respective sections. Have a good day, Kyle.. until we meet again.

Well, hello everyone. It's been a long 4 years and like I said in my intro thread it feels kind of surreal to be back. Enough about how I feel though, let's get to the important stuff!! PvM Mystery Boxes I think these were a great addition to the server when released. Unfortunately, with the eco reset they were just completely imbalanced. They have basically been nerfed, but I'll post a thread showing the new loot available separately. A brief summary would be: Nex items removed, GWD items removed, some items adjusted into different tiers of rarity. Coffers Big changes to coffers. Skilling coffers have had all of their available rewards adjusted, removing anything that existed in the Grand Exchange. The remaining items in Skilling Coffers have had their quantities increased. The Rune Pouch is also available from this coffer now too! Low coffers have been adjusted, removing a lot of the junk filler items and the best part about low coffers? They are now FREE to open!! Medium, High and Legendary coffers have had a lot of their junk rewards removed as well as exclusive items to each box being added. Meaning you will have to decide which coffer to open depending on what items you want to try and receive! A full drop log will be posted soon for coffer changes. Oh and the final change - Ironmen can no longer open coffers of any tier. An ironman exclusive coffer will be introduced soon! Donator changes Next up are changes to Donators. Well, not so much changes as re-enabling some features. The Donator Zone is now open again to all donators. We decided that with the current removal of ::bank that this area does not become an issue anymore. Type ::dz to get there! The Donator Options menu has also been re-enabled, allowing you to set yell titles, remove your donator icon and set a title too! Miscellaneous changes Fixed a broken animation for all 3 Strykewyrms. All 3 Strykewyrms have had their dig attack chance drastically lowered. No more b2b2b digs! Squeal of Fortune has had lucky items removed for the time being. You will no longer receive Hill Giants as a Slayer Task when getting your first task on a fresh account. Lowered Medium Slayer Task amounts from 35-85 to 35-75. Lowered Hard Slayer Task amonts from 55-115 to 30-60. Increased Boss Slayer Task amounts from 5-20 to 5-25. Reduced the total waiting time at the end of a Dungeoneering floor to 5 seconds. Added a teleport directly south of the entrance to the Edimmu Resource Dungeon (::edimmu). Added a teleport directly next to the entrance to the Hydrophix Dragon Resource Dungeon (::hydro). Removed the Ironman Shop NPC from the shop building at home as he didn't do anything. Dragon Pickaxe added to KBD collection log. Statius' Warhammer added to the Chaos Elemental collection log. Imbued Heart, Totem pieces, Eternal Gem and Void Essence added to the Slayer collection log. Aura Vendor added back to home. Goblin Musician removed from home. Adjusted the sell value of a ton of items to be more in line with a fresh economy (this may cause items lost on death issues, please report any issues found on Discord. Thanks.) You will no longer crush gems when crafting uncut gems into cut gems. I just want to say a big thank you to everyone involved in making this possible. All of the guys in discussion helping me balance and test things - you're all legends. WE BACK BABY?

PvM Shop Update It's here Yes you see that right, the Forlorn Shard can be used on T3 Chaotic's (Maul, Rapier & Longsword) to create the Forlorn Primal version. Which then of course has to be upgraded again to Forlorn Primal Rapier (T2) to remove its degradation, then again to T3 to boost it's stats 10%. Yes, of course this is available as well in the Ironman version of the PvM Shop. For sure you are seeing things clearly, that is an OP Pack that contains x250 of each noted Super pot in the Ironman PvM Shop. We know overloads are a pain for you & we got you. We also know PvM points are gained a bit slower on the Iron modes, so we reduced the price a bit for you on the Forlorn shard (1.5M points less). Clearly, Void helms have been added on both shops as well. For the record, I am not done with the Ironman PvM Shop, there is more to come (nothing huge or as large as these changes, but a small addition I didn't have enough time to finish). I should also add; once you add a Forlorn shard to your Chaotic's T3, it is a one-time use, permanent upgrade. Let's go back to the normie PvM Shop. This is the Lucky shard. We clearly removed individual Lucky items, but did not remove the ability to obtain Lucky items should you so wish. Another change here is we reverted all Lucky item stats to match their normal counterparts. Your Lucky Armadyl Helm now has the same stats as the normal version, only downside is you cannot upgrade a Lucky item. You keep them on death though, so that's nice. Also regarding Lucky items, the old ones still exist and have had their stats updated, but when using the Lucky shard on an item for example, you get a "new" version - it is no longer the RS3-style items, it is the normal/old style (I did not like the RS3 style sorry). Using the Lucky shard is also a permanent one-time use item as well. You cannot remove the shard or upgrade items once they are made Lucky (yes, this also works on the Spirit Shields & Godswords). Let's visit the PvM Shop again.. Yes, our recent Store addition, "Perks" have been added to the PvM Shop. Every one of them. However, these perks are quite expensive and have reduced time limits when compared to the Store version (I gotta keep my Store competitive & successful or we'll go offline ). This also brings me to: we made a dedicated tab in the Quest tab to keep track of your active Perks, check it out.. When using a Perk, you'll see a new tab is available in the Quest tab: Click the new Orange tab & you'll see an active list & timer on all your Perks: Friendly reminder, when using a Perk, the timer STOPS when you logout unlike Vote tickets. So all that is pretty cool, but there is still more & I'm sure you saw it.. Indeed, there is now a Mystery Box you can buy from the PvM Shop. As you know we recently updated all our Mystery Boxes and they have been mighty successful again (gz on all the loots lads), and this box is no different. Let me open a couple inventories for you.. As you can see, they are practically busted just as you would expect. Featuring tons of items and largely useful things all PvM-related. Void Soulstones, Dark Totems, Crystal Keys, Flasks, etc. But what's REALLY good in them? We saw 3 good rares from the above examples, some Pernix & Virtus. But, what else? Below you find the entire drop table of these boxes. Being this is a PvM Mystery box, only obtainable via PvM points, which are only obtainable from killing bosses we figured we could really expand on the loots available in this box. This does not take away from any integrity of the game, it does not cut any corners. Sure, you can get lucky but it still requires you participating & grinding in order to get points. It's a great addition. Let's say you wanted to complete Bandos' Collection log but also really want a Zenyte. Well, while your killing Bandos, you're racking up PvM points which can be used to get a chance to obtain the other item you need. Or, you grind Gorilla's while stacking points and it's like a "second chance" at the item besides directly from the drop. All in all, that about wraps it up from me. As mentioned above, there will be another addition to the Ironman PvM shop coming soon, however it's nothing huge or as crazy as this, just one thing I didn't get time to finish. I really want to hear your thoughts below on this, pretty much everything you see here is directly pulled from your suggestion posts (found here) with some extra spice. We had a lot of fun putting this together & I am excited to hear your feedback so please comment! BIG thank you to @fm das for being a huge part in this overhaul. Oh & also fixed a Dungeoneering smuggle, lul.

The PVM store is great for new players, giving luck armours and some PVM supplies, however you will quickly outgrow the armours you can buy and will quickly find that you end up just stacking up cannonballs or alching bandos boots for minimal gains, I would like to see a PVM box added to the PVM store, rewards could be GWD equipment which is super rare, PVM supplies such as Ovl flasks, cocktails, super restore flasks, Sara brew flasks, Dragon to dagganoth bones, 5-10 noted crystal keys, dark totems and dragon armour pieces at a more common rate, could even include other low level PVM gear such as berserker rings, archer rings, whips and furies Im not sure 100% how the server feels about this next bit but ill throw it out there because I think its worth talking about, Nex items could be included at an extremely rare rate, Nex items price will remain pretty solid no matter how many there are in game due to their examine value, but I do see players occasionally saying that its so hard to find a seller of trove/pernix. id be pretty frustrated if I had the money to buy these items but couldn't for weeks because no one wants to sell them, if more came into the game new players would still have to pay the top prices for them as you will always be able to arch it for a certain amount, but it will help them progress and not get bored. But yeh overall I just think that this would make using your PVM points more fun with a chance of getting good loot. If PVM boxes were added what would you like to see in them, looking for server input here

I'm honored and will be the very best, like no one ever was. To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause. Wait... that's not right. Thanks for the position and will do my best

So after a very long time playing Ely, i cant help but notice the change of the server and how things are going at the minute. A lot of oldies no longer play and everyone just seems so distance from what once was an amazing server to play. In my opinion Ely really just doesn't feel the same anymore and I want to find out what everyone thinks of this. Please no memes or shit talk, i just want a complete honest truth from everyone about what they think of the server/how its run etc. Please answer these if you have time What do you really think of Ely in its current state? What makes you come back to play everyday? What would you really like to see in the future of Ely? Any comments of issues you think are currently concerning? More for the oldies that have parted with Ely - What does Ely need for you to come back and play again? What made you part ways from playing Ely? I just really dont want to see Ely go into the ground, a lot of people have put a huge amount of time into the game because they love the game and people within it. However at the rate its going its just being forgotten about more each day. I dont see anyone really wanting to do anything in-game, as it lacks the enthusiasm like it had beforehand. I really hope things will change.

Merry Christmas @Luke and everyone else

Support Masoud - Thats what he does, he supports.

You can no longer place a cannon outside the Corporeal Beast cave. The Founding Festival quest no longer mentions "Zarpor". When you leave Runespan via NPC you now get teleported to Home, not Edgeville. The message "You find another Clue" now shows when you have the Game filter on. The message "... to the plantaform above." is now hidden by the Game filter. The Master/Supreme Poison Purge Aura's now correctly heal you for Poison damage received. The Taverly tree patch is now functional! (I hope?) The Cannon's fire rate has been fixed. We've been MIA lately and we apologize for that. Expect regular content updates again from here on out.

1) NPC Kill log fixed. 2) Pet Rework: If you've unlocked a pet and it's not in your bank or inventory it will go to pet manager. You can also release the pet from your inventory to save inventory/bank space and it'll go to pet manager. Enjoy.

Having read the recent Staff Feedback posts, It's clear I could both be more active and more transparent with everyone. I've decided to write up this development blog on Zulrah so you can see our progress from start to finish, as well as be notified when we've been working on this piece of content. If this Dev Blog is well received, I may make one for future projects too. Thanks for the idea @Timburt! Well, where to start? With what's completed so far, of course! What we've done so far: 1) We fixed an issue with the teleport location map (see below spoiler) 2) Added the ability to teleport to Zulrah. 3) Created the instance-starting via NPC on the docks of Zul-Andra. 4) As far as the combat of Zulrah goes, we have currently completed the full phase system, as well as the different attack sequences. We also have all three coloured models of Zulrah attacking with their correct combat style. 5) Zulrah's Melee AOE attack is fully working as well as the Jad Phases. 6) Our most recent piece of work was creating acceptable GFX for Zulrah's different attacks. As we aren't an OSRS based server we have to design these ourselves to make them feel as close to the original as possible. I feel Splash did a good job with this. 7) We also started work on the final special attacks; snakelings and poison clouds. This is an interesting one as we need to place them at specific co-ordinates in certain phases so fairly time consuming to do. To-do list: 1) We need to copy over the drop tables from the OSRS Wiki and then re-balance them to make them suited to Ely. 2) We need to disable Summoning Familiars and Cannons in this area. 3) When we finish the final special attacks, we'll need to get some of the Elysians online to help us test Zulrah to ensure the combat is flawless and the boss is balanced. This will most likely be the last step before release. 4) We also need to handle how to reclaim your items upon death, we will most likely mimic the same system OSRS uses for Zulrah. 5) The main drops from Zulrah will need to be made 100% from scratch as we don't have any of the required assets such as the OSRS Blowpipe attacking animation. It shouldn't be too hard to use something similar, though. We also need to find a solution for Monster Carnage and the Serpentine Helmet as we want to move it to exclusively Zulrah. Moving forward, any time we work on this piece of content I'll create a new post detailing what we've done (I'm more than likely going to reserve a few posts below this one so I can just edit it in and have it all in 1 spot). If you'd like to see more of this type of post in the future, please do let us know. We hope to get Zulrah released by the end of November!

Hello all. I was feeling lost after completion and 5b. Didn't know what to do in the game. Was watching a youtuber do a new account on osrs where he can only level a skill when he gets a collection log item and I thought, hey that might be interesting on Ely. After looking at rates, I thought it wasn't feasible- so I came up with a dumber idea. CL FP Premise: Every time I get a new item on the collection log, I must fp (Flower poker) my entire bank. On a win- Great, I double my bank. On a loss, I lose all my gp/gear and must drop my untradeables. Now some things to make it less repetetive: On a completed log, I may pick 1 item to keep regardless of a win or loss. Every 20 items filled on the log, I may keep 1 untradeable regardless of a win or loss. Items that require multiple things to be effective count as 1 item. ie void, cannon, etc Rules/limits may change depending on how things go lol The end goal being, complete the collection log. I will be updating my progress here Stats Collection Log Items Locked Untradables Locked Tradables Full Logs

Just figured I'd upload some pics for nostalgic purposes. If you have more feel free to contribute to the thread.

4 Years Online As of this past week, Ely has officially been online for 4 YEARS. That's a crazy milestone. In sort of a celebration of it, we decided to compile some all-time statistics for you to check out. Pretty interesting stuff! Mystery Boxes Opened Regular Mystery Boxes: 78,734 Super Mystery Boxes: 82,744 Cosmetic Mystery Boxes: 46,064 Skilling Mystery Boxes: 5,819 PvM Mystery Boxes: 26,716 Exclusive Mystery Boxes: 28,398 In total: 268,475 NPC Kills KBD Kills: 219,603 Dagannoth Supreme Kills: 37,005 Dagannoth Rex Kills: 35,964 Dagannoth Prime Kills: 35,895 Graetoriax Kills: 65,887 Saradomin Kills: 68,176 Zamorak Kills: 128,284 Bandos Kills: 163,465 Armadyl Kills: 125,132 Corporeal Beast Kills: 38,886 Soulgazer Kills: 49,945 Glacor Kills: 76,488 Wildy Wyrm Kills: 4,103 Tormented Demon Kills: 20,531 Training Zone Kills: 1,391,006 Miscellaneous Items Sold to General Store: 8,185,298,614 Total Gambles: 65,108 Barrows Chest Opened: 34,506 Coffers Opened: 1,151 Clues Completed: 236,464 Caskets Opened: 247,357 LMS Games: 161 Daily Challenges Done: 4,960 Daily Challenges Points Earned: 20,475 Total EP On Accounts RN: 69,497 Total PvM Points On Accounts RN: 38,863,206 Castle War Games: 3,618 Pest Control Games: 8,819 Crystal Chests Opened: 1,445,783 Total Dung Tokens Earned: 453,556,762 Skilling Points Earned: 62,600,260 Referral Points Earned: 1,719,120 Last but not least, account values.

NOTE: This is a copy & paste of an email that was sent to all members, but I wanted to make a public copy for all to read & comment on here. Let me know your thoughts! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2021 Year-in-Review Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to each and every one of you. I would like to start with this; I know emails can come off very impersonal but it's very personal to me. I know a lot of you that read this on a personal level. I've spoken to many of you one way or the other. Either through Discord, the forums or in-game. When I am writing this email, I'm writing this to you directly, each and every person individually. Ely is very personal to me and each member of this community is a friend of mine. With that said, I want to re-cap what Ely has done, accomplished & failed on this year. As well as discuss our plans moving forward into the new year. This has been Ely's 4th year since going online (officially 4 years in February/March 2022 actually) and that is a huge milestone for me/us. When I launched Ely in February 2018 I did not imagine at the end of 2021 I would be here writing an email to thousands of members recapping the year and how far we've come, it's crazy to me. I got you to thank for that, so thank you. Ely has become an absolute staple in RSPS when it comes to this revision. We've set the bar for this revision for time to come, and that's amazing. Let's get started with some miscellaneous statistics from Ely for the year 2021. Each of these stats below are for this past year only, not lifetime stats. Pretty insane, right? You guys knocked it out of the park. Over a quarter million visits to our website, over half a million times Ely appeared in Google search results, over 2.8 million drops were picked up from drops and over $100,000 were received from purchases. Absolute insanity, like I said - you guys knocked it out of the park this year. Also, 99 punishments issued? I guess I maxed my "Moderating" skill, finally. If you enjoyed statistics like this, let me know! For our 4-year anniversary I plan to post lifetime statistics from Ely & much more than what you see here. Up next, updates. This past year we introduced some of the largest, most incredible updates to the server we've ever done. Get your reading glasses on & let's recap. We started the year on January 6th with our introduction of the full Wiki available in-game with it's own dedicated tab. Players were now able to search drops, NPC stats, Clue Scroll tips, Grand Exchange offers and more while on the move. We followed that up with the ability to craft Armadyl Runes, increased cannon capacity via Slayer Rewards & a slew of bug fixes. Next up was the highly request bank overhaul, resulting in doubling the amount of bank storage players were able to hold as well as a bunch of miscellaneous sorting & withdrawing features. Next, we finally finished moving over the referral system to the new forums with another batch of bug fixes resolved. Following this we came out swinging new Discord commands, Vote Parties & Player Examine features - in this update we also reduced the amount of money required to start the Well of Goodwill. We instantly followed this update with another banger - the Achievement Diary with over 1,200+ achievements & a Summoning overhaul. This was also the month Splash completed our custom-made Cerberus set that was uber popular. Next up was an update that introduced the new quest "Camel's Boy" by Winter with the herblore-assisting NPC "Zahur" that changed the way that skill was trained forever, as well as another batch of bug fixes and more. As if we didn't have enough bangers yet, the following update was a more fully featured Runelite client, featuring countless quality of life updates, the first 718 ever to do it. After all these bangers, we pulled back and focused on the back-end of Ely. Stabilizing our client and performing efficiency updates silently. Then we came back swinging with 3 consecutive updates featuring nothing but bug fixes as we focused on stability and overall smoothing game play for everyone. When it was time for the next update we came out with a complete Farming rework as well as tons more bugs fixed (resulting in 17 pages worth of bug reports completed at this point). We followed this up with another massive list of fixes as well as a bunch of quality of life updates and changes. Then wouldn't you know it - we came out with yet another banger - the Upgrade Chest. The ability to sacrifice gear & items in exchange for gems to upgrade your existing gear & make it 10% stronger. This update also included the "Beginner's Amulet" which auto-upgrades new players gear from Iron to Rune while they train. Next up was yet another massive list of fixes, adjustments & the introduction of the Fire Max cape & Team capes. Also included in this update was the massive client update that allows players to now customize their own draw distance & better zooming! The following update was again, more bug fixes and also going back & adding disassembly options to all overrides. We came out swinging with another banger that included completely overhauling all our NPC's & the Magic skill and spellbooks. This update made Ely act & feel much more accurate than it did previously. Following this we released another highly requested update; Daily Challenges. Every day players now get assigned random tasks that are based off their account progress and a new shop to spend points earned in. The last two updates of the year were; more bug fixes of course & then "Perks" were introduced. This is the ability to purchase individual donor benefits (such as access to ;;Bank command) for a limited time without donating to reach the specific rank required for that benefit. As you can see, we stayed very busy this year. We posted a total of 20 patch notes which averages out to 1.6 updates per month. Ely is now in a state that is leaps & bounds ahead of any competing server in our revision. That begs the question then, what's next? Let me tell you. In the background we've recently began development on a web client. We even hired a dedicated developer for this. Why a web client, right? That's so 2012. Not quite. One of the most prevalent issues we've had over the years with Ely is client related. While we've largely eliminated most of these issues, some still persist. There a few barriers we must cross to on-board a player. One of the toughest is of course, discovery. The next issue is then getting them to download our client. Many people are skeptical of what they download on their PC, especially in RSPS. Then we have to hope they experience no trouble booting up our client. Often times when a player downloads Ely and experiences trouble, they just delete the client and move on. This is where a web client can resolve much of this. They find Ely and learn they don't have to download anything. They can load it right in their browser and give it a try before committing to it. Thus also eliminating any issues they may experience trying to load it from their PC. I've included a picture of a very early version still very much in development, web client I loaded on my iPhone. Yes, my iOS device. Yes, that is a picture of me playing Ely on an iPhone. This client has incredible potential, but we are months from release yet. I just wanted to showcase the potential this web client has. What else? Many of you may be aware we have spent a significant amount of time trying to get Chambers of Xeric to you. This is still very much in development, but due to it being such a large piece of content it takes a lot of time and resources. This is not something we can willy-nilly whip together, because no one would want to play a terrible CoX. We are making this as accurate as possible and bringing in many people who have a deep understanding & lots of experience doing CoX. With their help, we hope to make this as accurate as we can. It will take time, but we've already made incredible process & already have a version much more accurate to OSRS than most servers today. Couple months back we posted a progress / Development Blog update regarding this project, so if you would like to learn more and see some images of CoX in Ely, click here. On top of all the above, we have much more on our roadmap. We truly hope you'll be here to experience it all with us, because without you none of this is possible. Every player matters, every vote counts, every dollar makes a difference. You are the reason we are here almost 4 years later making incredible progress & seeing incredible numbers. If your already an active player, thank you so much. If you've played in the past & haven't been online recently - come visit us! I love seeing older players come online even just to say hey. With that said, thank you again. Seriously, what a year it has been. Next year is right around the corner and together we can crush even this year's records. LFG.

Daily Challenges This is the official introduction of the new daily challenges system! Every day (24 hours) on login you will be greeted with a new set of challenges to complete. These challenges are generated around your characters goals and will always be unique. We will be actively improving this system and adding more challenge types over time. Challenges reset at 12AM server time (GMT+1) If you are currently doing a challenge when they reset, don't worry. You will be able to complete the challenge and type ::challenge to get a new one. You are limited to completing 3 challenges per day. Here is what the challenge shop currently contains. We will be actively adding to and adjusting this shop as we receive suggestions. Please post your suggestions here: Thank you.

Hi, I'm going to attempt to put together a guide to display all sorts of different gear and gear set-ups. The main intention of this guide is simply to provide suggestions and ideas. It is assumed the player will have the knowledge to gain levels/train skills accordingly to obtain the gear. The guide will also assume a majority of gear is obtained through gameplay and not via the EP store*. (*some exceptions to this) This thread will be a HUGE on-going work in progress. Best In Slot - End-game Gear Ironman Based Setups Welfare Setups Dharok's Setups Amulet Slot - What should I wear? Ring Slot - What should I wear? Cape Slot - What should I wear?

First of all, any issues posted here will be controversial based on who reads it. Everyone has their own experience on this server, and nothing here is right or wrong but should be decided by the community which truly needs to be implemented or changed. One of the most important changes that I hope everyone agrees on is the ability to unlock or obtain items on an ironman that could be donated for otherwise (aside from exclusives or customs). Anything p2p should be able to be earned through playing the game in order to offer a fair playing field for any person on any gamemode. Monster drops/issues: Bronze Dragons still have a max hit of 13.5k with melee. Not a really good experience for a new player or unsuspecting hardcore (some variations of other monsters have insane max hits on wiki but don't seem to be present in the game). Nex's minions still get bugged from instakill darts or when someone titans through the last stage Almost every high level slayer monster drop table shares it's contents with one another. There are no noted gem or bar drops. For ironmen, slayer is only used for points and exp building towards boss tasks. Every skill should be rewarding on the way to the top. By the time they hit 99 players have so many seeds that they'll never plant them all before they quit. Any variety in the drop tables to differentiate the monsters from each other would be nice. Their drop tables don't have to be some generic items throw together or a copy+paste from osrs/rs3 Clue scrolls should be readjusted for monsters. No one monster should be so far beyond the normal rate that they could be recognized as extremely fast source of clues. This would be monsters like blue dragons that drop 1/22, while some similar monsters are ~1/100, and catacomb monsters that could be over 1/600. Also worth mentioning that yaks drop both easy and medium clues at a super low rate. Clues are already easy enough, and now that they stack, they shouldn't have extremely fast methods to get them. They shouldn't be too easy, but not too hard either. The combat level or difficulty required to kill the monster should dictate the droprate. Skotizo should have a faster spawn time. Getting teleported out of the instance, back to catacombs, and waiting for the respawn takes longer than the actual kill. Additions/Changes: Cutscenes or large buffer times should be removed entirely. This means Dominion tower, pest control, and skotizo mainly. There should be other ways to limit players ability to complete these things. It just drags the grind on and makes people not want to do them after they get the items they need. Everything should have a replay-ablility aspect to it regardless of an account's completion status. Dung shop should have charming imp in it for players that can't donate or can't accumulate enough wealth to donate. 300-500k tokens would be a good range; not too grindy but not too easy. Puro-puro doesn't have dragon imps. Some of the other imps should be reworked to be more rewarding towards the players of ely, not real rs. Copy and pasting the drop tables isn't helping anyone progress when the loot isn't usable anywhere ingame. There should be more mid-range bosses to do for new players. Aside from gwd and skotizo, there's not a lot of things to do for a player without a divine. No one should have to have maxed combat stats to start doing bosses. Boss point shop - Add some sense of completion to a never-ending item grind. Even cosmetics to show off to other players would be enough. Boss progression capes/armor would be enough to get people to start doing bosses again. Achievement rewards - I know they've been promised that they're on the way, but there should be some sort of completionist component to them. Comp(T) should be part of it but some of the achievements are absolutely absurd for an ironman to do. Making 25 of each dfs for an ironman would take ~21050 kills for both the magic and ranged versions with their current drop rates from kbd. Current rank 1 has 2418 kills total. Aside from the pking achievements, some of them seem to be added just to fill the slots. Otherwise some of actions required for the achievements would be dead content in the game. Group events where everyone received a drop should be implemented elsewhere in the game. Possibly hardmode bosses that even ironmen could participate in and receive a drop. Scale the bosses appropriately and let it be a free for all. Everyone seemed to like event bosses that were killed fast and everyone got something. It just needs to be added somewhere else that could be in the game at all times. Wilderness additions - Make a shop that can be shared by both pkers and pvmers. Bosses that give points the same as getting a player kill. Revenants should have a drop table that appeals to all players but have players skulled upon entering the caves. High risk, high reward. There is no reason to enter the wild for anything other than venenatis and wildywyrm for the comp cape requirements. The wilderness should be just as muched used as the server outside of it. Shooting star should offer a more randomized reward and have a higher amount of stardust based on how many players are mining. Mage Arena 2 Capes - I don't care how they're added, but there should be some rival backpack slots that can be better than max capes in some situations. There needs to be some trade-off equipment for different scenarios, nothing should be an absolute best in slot item. Minigames: Pest Control - Due to the low player count it's a struggle to get a team created and continuously going long enough for anyone to get the items they need. Most of the time it's endgame players looking to comp their log sprinkled with the occasional player that still needs the items for the first time. Games should be able to be completed quicker or scaled based on the player count. For 3-5 players, portals should be unprotected throughout the entirety of the game. For 6+ players portals shouldn't have a delay between dropping their shield. Running back and forth should be a big enough buffer to run the game on a bit. Zombie Waves - Not a bad game, got bugged with monsters spawning outside a few times, but the rewards shop definitely needs additions. I'm sure ironmen would play any minigame if they rewards benefit them enough. Barrows - Pretty basic, no problems with the regular barrows really. There should be a hardmode for the rs3 shields from rise of the six. There needs to be some other options for shields other than a divine or custom. Take the same shields from rs3, throw some decent but not overpowered stats at them, and make a barrows that requires some teamwork to complete. Really opens the opportunity up for other drops like the amulet of the damned on osrs. Gives barrows equipment some real use in the game other than someone's first day on. Skilling Reworks: Contracts - Simple enough, get me x amount of items for x amount of skilling points or money. Keep players active while skilling. Would be applied to gathering skills; Mining, Woodcutting, Fishing, Farming, Hunter? Add a skilling shop for each skill, add some primary boost items, and an endless supply of consumables that give a small bump to a players skilling items collection. Dungeoneering Why It's a private server; I haven't seen a single person in game vouch for a fully coded dung (other than Jake). We appreciate the effort of reworking the skill, but it went in the wrong direction. People should see skills on this game as a fun activity rather than a grind. After 99/120 no one wants to do more dungeons. It doesn't have to be the single room dungeon, but there should be at least one alternative to training this skill. Maybe if raids were implemented they could offer experience per action or completion. Some players even suggested elite dungeons like rs3, and maybe offering some new items. Forlorn primals should be a reward from raids/elite dungeons or be some absurd point count in the shop. If someone is willing to grind an insane priced primal weapon, then they should be able to. I'm talking around the 1-2m dung tokens point. Keep it rare but obtainable. Mining Everyone's favorite skill next to agility and runecrafting. Ores should have increased quantities or be infinite. That, or they should be much quicker to mine. No one's ruining the economy by mining a bunch of rune ore. Mining contracts - Mine some ore, get some points or exp. Points shop would have the mining armor, maybe throw a special pick or 2 in there for a heap of points, and a consumable mystery box that gives a small amount skilling items. Most likely gems/ore and anywhere from 10-50 items total. Gem rocks should be a bit quicker or infinite, maybe throw in an onyx but extremely rare. Probably 1/10k or higher. Living rock cavern monsters should drop more living materials based on the time it takes to kill/mine Woodcutting - Just make high level trees a bit faster to cut down. Contracts too but with some different rewards Fishing - Really just contracts. Seems like double catch only happens once per starting fishing. Thieving - Needs some variety. Just a carpal tunnel clickfest to 99 right now. Runecrafting - People only seem to want to do runespan. Maybe offer the ability to teleport straight to altars via talismans. Agility - Again another carpal tunnel shitshow. Pretty much how it should be but there should be more passive ways to gain agility experience. Silverhawk boots should be added, while untradeable feathers should be able to be obtained through skilling stores (suggested by Jake). No skill should be completely purchasable like agility is. Farming - Reworked to make herbs grow faster but they seem to die more than half the time. They also don't grow while you're offline. I don't think anyone would be against instant growing herbs as long as seeds are rarer to obtain. Slayer Some slayer monsters don't have drops or the drop tables are way too similar. Low level slayer monsters drop either nothing or are too spread out and drag tasks out. Kurasks don't have any drops but are assigned as a hard task. Ice strykeworms don't require purchase prior to them being offered as a task. Superior monsters have a worse drop table than their lesser counterparts. There's no real reward that would make a player want to fight a superior for anything other than the experience. Construction - Another grind that just seems to be a money sink for non-irons. Could possibly have contracts similar to osrs or another way to passively gain experience that isn't just one straight line grind. QOL Suggestions/fixes: More multiplayer content needs to be added other than bossing. Mainly ironman have no group activities other than minigames and dung which is a rarity. Raids would be a fantastic start, but other minigames should be reworked. Zombie waves was actually pretty fun but there was no real rewards from the shop. Group Ironman queue teams for new players. We spent all this time adding a new gamemode but most new players don't have any friends to play it with. There should be an open team board or the option to create a new group. Also people should be able to leave or join groups in progress but any new member should be starting fresh. Shops should have infinite or higher stocks. Not going to ruin the economy with items that aren't traded between players. Cannons shoot through walls. Not sure if that bothers anyone. Master capes should be unlocked at level 120/104m exp. Kalphite queen teleport is still khalphite. Armadyl crossbow is shown as a rune crossbow on your character. Stats should be buffed more comparable to chaotic crossbow. More weapons should rival chaotics. There needs to be a bigger range of items between starting and endgame weapons. Most ironmen use chaotics because they're unable to get gear or because the ease of getting a chaotic is the only grind they'll do. Dominion tower cutscenes should be removed. Make it faster but add some different boss scenarios in to add some difficulty. Time to complete should be based on the player and how they handle the waves, not how much time it takes them to watch the same cutscene over and over. Timers for potions go away when you get a levelup message. They should also have a warning in chat before they are about to run out, which should also appear if game chat is filtered. This server doesn't have to be a mirrored image osrs/rs3 and there needs to be some variety in training skills or obtaining items. Fully coded or making a carbon copy doesn't necessarily improve the enjoyment of someone playing the content. There should be an equal amount of attention spent catering to the server that's already there as much as there is for additions.

Well of Goodwill Addition & Adjustment It's been just about 1 whole year since we released the Well of Goodwill and without any changes during that time. We feel it is necessary to make adjustments to the Well's prices as well as add an additional feature. The Well has ran for 11 months now at its current prices - 2B total for the Tier 3. As of today, we reduced that. Tier I - 250M Tier II - 500M Tier III - 1000M We believe the adjustment to the Well is warranted as the sheer amount of wealth removed from the game is easily in the trillions - since release. Reducing the cost to activate we hope to encourage even more & continued donations to the Well in exchange for the usual benefits, but cheaper! Hiscores Ever wondered how much has been donated to the Well? Or, how much has a specific player donated? We will no longer wonder (we don't even know ourselves) as we added a Hiscores feature to the Well! We are really excited to see who can claim the top 3 spots as time goes on! Vote Party The next exciting thing is something we called, Vote Parties! As a new addition in your Quest Tab, the "Vote" category, you will now be able to see a total count of all votes in a 24 hour period. You may also notice the new "Server Time" line - this is so everyone can know when a new day begins on Ely (Shop resets, etc). Back to the Vote category though, the "Daily Votes" is the tally of all votes cast by all players in a 24 hour period. Every time 100 votes have been completed, the server will throw a Vote Party! Every player online will receive 3 FREE Cosmetic Mystery Boxes right into their Bank! So, from 0 to 100, Vote Party! From 100 to 200, another Vote Party & so on. Since this is the Cosmetic Mystery Boxes, this will include Ironman modes as well! So now that you're reading this, the server has been reset, go & vote now! Let's get that first Vote Party! New Player Examine When examining a player in Ely it hasn't been very informative. Actually, very lacking. So we've completely overhauled the player examine screen to be much more informative! Remember, you can always toggle on or off your public examine in the Settings tab. Discord Commands Lastly for today, new Discord commands! The new !wealth command allows you to see how much yourself, or another player is worth (examine value). This command will not work on players who have their public examine turned off. The last command is !kickme It is difficult to provide any screenshots of this in action, however I'll explain it as best as I can. If you suffer from client freezes, black screens, crashing or any of those plagues, this command is for you. As long as you have a linked Discord account, you can now kick yourself! No longer need a Moderator+. Let's say your client freezes & your in mid-combat. Then follow these steps: 1. Close your client 2. Type !kickme in the Discord As long as you have a linked account, your account will be sent home & kicked offline so you can relog & hopefully not die. No promises are made that this will work 100% of the time, but we hope this at least has some beneficial value to you. Lastly, this command will not work if you are in the Wilderness, so keep that in mind.

$1000 Group Ironman | Release Tournament We are extremely excited to announce the release of our Group Ironman mode! Group Ironman is a new game mode designed for Ironman who have more than one friend that they’d like to partner up with. Here are the details: XP rate: x50 (Default) base rate We felt this was the best solution to keep all players on the same playing-field especially for the duration of the Tournament. We will likely introduce the other XP rates upon completion of the Tournament. XP bonuses: The same limitations of the Ironman game mode apply to GIMs. Group feature: The Group Ironman feature will allow you to form a group of up to 4 other players to join you. Your team mates are the only other players you could trade with, and are permanent. Once you form your group & select begin, no other GIM will be able to join your group. There is no time limit for when you can add players to the team, but once the team is complete no changes can be made. Use the Squeal of Fortune tab in-game to configure your group. The Group will be able to have a shared Bank & POH as well as use instances together. Only 1 member can access Bank at a time or work on the POH. Donations: The same donation rules that apply to other Ironman also apply to Group Ironmen. Clan chat: A Clan Chat will automatically be created for you & your group upon completion of your team. $1000 Tournament Details With this new gamemode comes a huge chance to win huge rewards!

New Quest | Examiner's Apprentice Author: @Winter There is now a new quest available! I will spare the details so you can enjoy this quest & it's content on its own. However, it unlocks an incredible reward. The Resource Zone! This is a new zone located in the Wilderness in which you can train certain skills with a 50% XP Boost! To enter the zone requires you to have completion of the new Quest mentioned above. Use this zone with Vote Tickets & the Well of Goodwill for amazing XP! How to Create your Group Ironman

I think benefits that tie into the Bosses that have to be killed in order to obtain it, would be beneficial. Such as but not limited to: Zero instance fees 5-15% chance of damage reduction (Percentage could be looked at, and balanced for different bosses - Will it also stack with divine? etc) Prayer bonus similar to Disciple (maybe higher - benefits the players without $1k donor) 0 Harb KC required Perhaps ability for player to add a quick teleport to a boss of their choice on the Helmet or something Health bonus to replicate nex armours Venom at Zulrah & Vorkath to be cancelled out Immunity from Poison OR less chance for it to be inflicted (Kril/KBD/Vork) 5-15% chance at double drops (Balanced for different bosses, maybe this could be something the player can have active for 1 hour a day) Higher success rate at knocking Tormented Demon shield down OR ability to knock it off with any weapon (ONLY WHILE ARMOUR SET IS WORN) Ability to restore special attack instantly (Limited usage PER day - Let's say 3 times?)

Vorkath Introducing the long awaited, Vorkath. Ely's most accurate 1:1 OSRS bossing experience. From OSRS Wiki: Vorkath is also considered a Blue Dragon for Slayer tasks Vorkath is also a safe death. However HCIM's will lose their status if they die here. With the introduction of Vorkath comes a few new items, new Slayer Helmet & new means to Prayer XP. NEW - Turquoise Slayer Helmet This new Slayer Helmet can be made by using Vorkath's head on a Slayer Helmet: NEW - Dragonfire Ward This new alternative to a Dragonfire Shield has boosted Ranged attack bonuses. This new shield can be crafted by using the new Skeletal Visage on an Anti-dragon shield. Upon doing so you are awarded 100,000 Smithing XP (on default - x50). NEW - Dragonbone Necklace Cannot forget about the new, lovely, Vorki Nor can you forget about those Collection Log hunters.. Last but not least, Superior Dragon Bones are now available. Below is a breakdown of the base XP you can expect from this bones (thanks to @Goddess) The addition of Vorkath into Ely is our continued efforts to improve on our vast PvM selection and continuing our expansion of OSRS content into Ely. We are very pleased with the outcome of this project & are glad to finally bring this to the community at large. Looking forward to hear feedback! Miscellaneous Bug Fixes Cannon will now go to Diango if you are UIM and DC/let it die Presets no longer reset quick prayers Nomad can no longer be frozen Nomad's loot registration now works properly Dominion Tower rewards go to inventory and bank & if you are UIM it goes to Diango Grey & Red chin's now shoot projectile God items now work to stop Godwar's monster aggressiveness Other misc. fixes & adjustments made to certain items Misc. combat code cleaning for better efficiency and effectiveness With all that said.. I would like to thank @Charlie for all his hard work & dedication on putting this all together for Ely. Let him know what you think in the comments and show him some love. Also big thanks to everyone who helped test this along the way, @Goddess, @Boats, @nelly & @Jordan All your guy's help means a lot and really helped in refining this process. Enjoy!

A new member of Ely's Development Team - @Charlie What's up Ely fam, I got an update for you all. We are currently in the process of bringing in a new full time Developer, Charlie.

As a matter of fact, don't expect them to ever be accurate according to street value. However, with release we have adjusted many items prices to make it worthwhile to donate. Below is a list of items price we have changed to better reflect donate-ability. All Godwars Gear Dragonfire Shield & Variants All Nex pieces All Spirit Shields All Partyhats Glacor Boots Primal Weapons & Armor Celestial God Rings, Sara Amulet's & more We will be taking notes from everyone based on the items that are wished to be donated.

Final Words This update is in specific response to the recent community feedback about the state of Ely. We have done nothing short of our absolute best to address the bulk of the issues highlighted by you. With that said -- this update isn't a solve-all update.

Do not expect anything you want if it is not posted & recorded on the forums in the respective sections. With all that said, we hope you enjoy the crap out of this update. Enjoy!

What do you really think of Ely in its current state? I haven't played in while but the times that I have been on even for an hour or so I belive Ely is in the worst state so far. Player count is down to its lowest and the people that are on are either bankstanding or afking at home. Updates seem to be on a back burner even just bi-weekly updates like the small update we just had. boxes seem to be playing a huge part of Ely's survival atm but looking on the store and still seeing some monthly boxes remaining shows to me that the boxes aren't doing as well as they once where. What makes you come back to play everyday? N/A cos I'm MIA What would you really like to see in the future of Ely? I would like to see a OSRS version of Ely and I know that was under construction a long time ago but seemed to have died off. I would love to see the streams again like before when FPSMerk came on Ely and I believe that would also help revive Ely as player count was hitting all times highs of 50+ and the server was popping. Some type of mass boss or Minigame events. I remember we did have a few Minigames events at Castle Wars (still No.1 CWars players BTW) and even all the way back when Ely was a new server Alot of us would camp corp beast. Now there doesn't seem to be any real interaction between players other then new players asking where something is. Any comments of issues you think are currently concerning? The turn around of players on Ely has always been a concern of mine. What does Ely need for you to come back and play again? Having something more to do. I know the collection log came out awhile ago and that could be something I could be working towards but I never really got into doing it. One thing that I know will bring me back is the Comp cape (T) its been in discussion of this server for a long time and a very controversial topic within the player base at to what should be part of it and shouldn't as its to much of a grind to do certain suggestions but now it seems to have become a grind just waiting on the release of it. Everytime a OSRS boss has been added into Ely I've returned for a little while but not for as long as I hoped. Seeing more OSRS content will defo keep me coming back. What made you part ways from playing Ely? Tbh I basiclly did everything I wanted to. I achieved 200m exp in all stats and Got my Comp cape but even after that I still stayed and got my alt to 4bil total exp. I think with alot of other OG's leaving Ely and the server once active community full of players bossing together and standing at home but actually talking it seems to be gone. before I stopped playing it turned into a place full of charecters just afking and even the few times I have logged back onto Ely its the same thing I may to one or two people saying Hi but thats about it. I hope that one day I do just wake up and find that spark that I once had to play Ely every day and I hope that others to do but I feel like alot of OG's have drifted to far away now and to anyone that reads this even though yes im english im retarded and there is probs spelling mistakes everywhere. so enjoy.

I hope you're all having an amazing Christmas so far, And to make it that much better we're giving you one of the most requested updates to date. Zulrah. (Yes, We made it around THAT Corner.) Zulrah The God-like creature, worshipped by many from all around Gielnor, Has finally risen from the toxic waste to challenge the players of Ely. Zulrah has been coded completely from scratch, and added from OSRS resources. This was a large project to undertake, but it's finally done. We want to thank our Elysian's for their tremendous effort during testing, Nelly, Kaotic, Masoud, Enzyme & Jordan. Without their help The balancing of this boss would have been much worse off, and they helped speed up the progress we made by 300%. Finding bugs constantly for us to fix, And helping us find a sweet spot for the boss to be in. The Fight: Zulrah will function the exact same way Oldschool runescapes works. This means all 4 phases, All mechanics with a bit 718 Love / tweaking. In addition to this, We've heard the complaints in the past about death mechanics in high end bossing, and decided to ensure Zulrah does not fall into this category. For that reason, Zulrah will be a completely SAFE DEATH. You can start the fight by typing "::tele Zulrah" And heading towards the boat docked in the poison waste. From there your on your own. Good luck and may the RNG be with you. Looking back 2019 has been one hell of a year for Ely, Through highs and lows. You've all been there. In May, We saw the launch of the Exclusive boxes. These boxes impacted Ely massively, quickly becoming one of the most loved item's we added to the donation store. With this box, a very special rare item was added to Ely, the first of its kind. You all know what im talking about, The Fiery collection. To commemorate this box, and it's items, We've decided to introduce what will be the very last box drop of 2019, These boxes are insane when compared to the regular exclusives, offering Torva, Pernix & Virtus as common reward. As well as the very last fiery item to ever be available in the exclusive store. The fiery Primordial Boots. The catch? These boxes are available for a limited time, Not a limited quanitity. They are also $25 Per box, Making them the most expensive box to date. You have 8 days left to get your hands on these boxes, after that they are gone FOREVER. Along with the boxes we intoduced a new XMAS themed exclusive item, The hy-draconic lance, Inspired by the Pine tree. Fixes - Hardcore ironmen will no longer die in practice instances, and lose their accounts. - Added some stat requirements to items, such as the bandos helmet. - Matt fixed a bug. On a personal note from me, i want to let you all know that we've been working on other things during the long dev period Zulrah has taken. We have some amazing stuff in store for 2020, and i have been working in spare time to draft up more content for you guys in the future. Here's an example of the type of items you might expect to see in the new year. Closing up To close up, Thank you all so much for being apart of Ely. Without you none of this would be possible, we're grateful for your continued love & support. I hope to see you all around in-game, Existing players or returning vets. Have a wonderful Christmas & I'll see you on the other side.

Elysians We are introducing a new Discord role, the Elysian's! This is a new exclusive role that gives you a bit more access to the behind-the-scenes work going on in Ely, allows you to become the first to test new content for bugs, glitches, etc. We are excited to introduce this role which will start with a limited amount of people, but will be expanded on with time and change, adapt & grow as we go along in Ely. How do I join? You will be selected to join the Elysian's. We carefully watch & analyze all players all the time for many different reasons. In this specific case we will be looking for people with a love for Ely, a very deep understanding of our game, an eager willingness to help others & more along those lines. If you fit these characteristics you will most likely be selected to join, eventually :). What are the benefits? Being an Elysian means you have early access to new content in situations which we need help testing. You will also have an exclusive Role & Channel in Discord which will give you direct access to the Developers to make suggestions, hear about things coming soon & more. Who are the first Elysian's? @IttzKaotic, @nelly & @Masoud Congratulations to these fellas, your Discord role is now updated & you are now an Elysian! Thank you for your continued support to Ely and we are looking forward to working a bit closer with you!

Once again we apologize for no notes since the update on the 1st, Life has been hectic recently in the development team and sometimes it gets hard to balance. Here is what changed. - Varrock is in eternal night as the ghosts walk the land once more. Find and capture them for a reward! - A fear reaper has appeared in central varrock, Offering various rewards for those brave enough to face him. - New mystery boxes have been added to the exclusive shop, Including new custom cosmetics. - A New crown has been added to the exclusive shop, For those who want to set themselves ablaze. There is still a few issues that will be resolved in time, But we appreciate your patience & support so far. We can assure you we are making good progress on the next update which will bring some very unique features to Ely, Along with some highly requested content.

Introducing: Global & Personal NPC Kill Records You will now find a new Leaderboard at home, East of the bank! This board will post & record the fastest Boss kill records! Whoever holds the latest & fastest record will be shown on this Board along with the Boss Name & time it took. If someone beats your record for a specific Boss; you will be replaced. Hold it down, boys - get those records in! This Leaderboard currently tracks kills for the following: All God Wars Dungeon Bosses Corporeal Beast Chaos Elemental Kalphite Queen King Black Dragon Nex Tormented Demons Dagannoth Kings Cerberus Graetoriax the Unbroken Skotizo Kraken & Ruins of Graetoria Boss Personal Kill Records On top of these Global Boss records, every single NPC you kill will now feature your own personal records. This includes everything from Rock Crabs to Nex. It will display your kill time in console, unless you set or beat a personal record which will then display in your chat box! Great way to keep track of your number of kills & how efficient you can be. Are you curious what your current record is for an NPC? A new command - "record" can be used that will display your personal record on the last NPC you killed. There are a few exceptions in which your kill record time will get voided. First is if you use an Insta-Kill dart - your time will not be recorded. Second is if a second player attacks the same NPC you are fighting - your time will be voided. Lastly, Admin accounts are not recorded Globally; only personal records. Discord Update We have added a new command that can be used in Discord! !activity [username] We've also updated all other commands such as !stats [username], !drops [npcs] & so on! Few Changes Ruins Duo partner instance bug corrected. Battle Royale Mysterious cape bug has been fixed. Enjoy!

Update update update: Started off the adventure grinding for the jad pet. got that at 122 kc That opens up another tradable slot! After that I went to grind some gp, so I went to blue dragons for keys. Ended up getting the pet lol. After that I went back to zamorak to try and get a spear. AND got the pet. nice to get pets early so that's not the thing I am grinding for later. But after that, I decided to start the corp grind to get a divine. And with that, hit my first comp req Got my spirit shield and elixir early and after getting and fping those, I got another one of each and decided to make that my second saved item. Since I made it so I can add onto the items on my saved items- I will add the divine sigil once I get it. Other than that, I have just been doing corp. And after 110 kills, I finally got my first sigil... A fucking arcane. That I lost to Jake. And that ends this episode of Cl Fp. FP's Ty for reading

Howdy folks, hope your all doing well during the pandemic! Today I'm proposing the addition of a new set of gear, earnable via completing the associated requirements per piece. These requirements will be hefty boss killcounts, pushing players to conquer all that Ely has to offer; Bandos to our very own Graetoriax. These requirements will also pave the way for the much requested Trimmed completionist cape. Previously we have been reluctant to add this as an obtainable item, as we felt the goals we could offer were just too lackluster for something with so much prestige. This update would change that, adding more grinds to the game for players to shoot for after they achieve max total. This set will be no easy feat, with players having to rack up to 500 Graetoriax kills, 1000 of each respective GWD boss. These goals are subject to change, but they will remain high as this isn't meant to be something passively earned. "Cinder, the quartermaster & The final boss set" The last thing we want, is the set to be a completely useless heap of junk that will sit in players banks. We want this set to offer unique perks to the player, that link back to the requirements they went through. Something like this would be reduced instance fees, chance of doubling your drop, Etc. Whilst we can come up with a list ourselves, we aren't the ones playing to obtain this set 90% of the time. We want you as the players to tell us what you think the benefits for using this set could be. Leave your ideas in the comments below, and any feedback you might have about the concept. - Splash

#SAVE GEORGE. from @nelly

So it finally happened, Since making my 4 months ago I have fallen as a Hardcore Ironman. This is a video of my bank after I died and what I achieved whilst playing this game mode without dying once. This is far from the end for z e l d a and is just the beginning . I am happy for you all to roast me and call say nice hardcore when you see me in game and whatever else you want to say lol I would strongly advise anyone who is looking for a challenge to make a Hardcore and see how much you can achieve in the game without dying. This has been such a fun experience and I myself did not believe all those months ago that I would achieve what I did. For any of those wondering I am not sad that I died as all good things come to an end . I died at Cerberus It had back to back Ghost phases and had two range attacks in a row whilst resulted in a lot of damage being dealt and when I went to click my rocktail it dragged it instead so lesson learnt don't pvm on Ely when your tired haha. Finally thank you all so much you wonderful people who have supported me along My Hardcore ironman journey you have kept me motivated during the long tedious grinds and I love you all . yXKAd8D14t.mp4

Welcome to the first expansion on the famous Graetoriax the Unbroken dragon.. Ruins of Graetoria! From A to Z this is completely custom content from the entire dungeon map, to the NPC's, to the items & all the way to the drops. When you enter the Ruins (::tele ruins) you will be entered in a lobby where you can proceed either as a solo player or partner up with another player to take on the Boss as a duo. The Boss will have different stats that reflect whether there are one or two people fighting it. You can choose to take the left or right path to get towards the Boss room. You will have to kill 10 of the NPC's (20 for duo's) in the room you choose to progress in the Ruins.. You will find an Altar on each side of the dungeon, you may find these helpful to make your way to the Boss.. This Boss fight is one unlike any you have ever seen.. it may require you to attempt it a few times until you find your method of taking down this fella. There is a ton of new items you can expect, and we will not spoil these all for you. We encourage you to go & explore the ruins for yourself and experience all of this first-hand. However we will inform you of a couple things you will find as drops from the NPC's & Boss in the Ruins.. Void Essence can be used on Proselyte gear to improve the tier of the gear overall. Corrupted Bloods can be used on the Zamorakian Spear to improve the tier of this item & functions at Corporal Beast as normal. In regards to the rest of the Ruins.. this is up to you to discover & find out for yourself.. Good luck & have fun! Introducing: Easy Mode (x250) & Legend Mode Update We have finally introduced easy mode into Ely! This has been a long discussed addition & today we're happy to announce it is now available! Easy Mode now features it's own section on the HiScores and comes with a 25% reduction in drop rates compared to default (x50) Legends Mode After a REALLY long time discussing it, polling it, talking back and forth with everyone we could over the past year or so, it's become clear the general opinion was Legends should in fact receive a drop rate boost. Due to nearly every other RSPS offering this, a lot of other players expect this when choosing a harder game mode. So with that said.. Legends now receive a 5% boost in drop rates compared to defaults! We really hope you guys enjoy this update as much as we did putting it together over the past many months. Drop your thoughts, opinions & feedback below!
