Osmumten's Fang Icon Changes
Inventory icon adjustment to the Standard Osmumten's Fang
Inventory icon adjustment to the Ornamental Osmumten's Fang
A few weeks ago, we tweaked Osmumten's Fang's model and special attack as part of the animation spring clean. This slight model adjustment ended up causing the Fang’s Inventory icon to appear smaller than before, and you weren't keen on it. We heard you loud and clear, and the art team has been working on adjusting its Inventory icon based on your feedback. You'll be pleased to hear that both the Standard and Ornamental Fang's Inventory icons now look bigger and clearer, as per your request!
Before we continue with what else has been fixed in this game update, we've got some exciting announcements to make!
Araxxor Arrives Next Week!
The new Slayer boss, Araxxor, is crawling his way into Old School in a matter of days. This arachnoid menace is set to weave some serious trouble starting next Wednesday, August 28th!
For those who need to catch up, we first discussed this Araxyte from the deep dark swamps of Morytania in its poll blog. You can also check our latest Gazette for a chat with Mod Arcane about Araxxor.
Stick around and keep your eyes open for this eight-legged terror... lest he creep up on you!
