Existing Kwuarm sources, including enemy packs, will now be replaced with Kwuarm seeds for farming.
Added buildable decorations including the Scarecrow.
We've adjusted several aspects of combat balancing based on player feedback - most notably:
We were previously combining damage scaling off of projectile AND weapon type meaning that the damage numbers were scaling more rapidly than other combat types. Yes, that means we're nerfing the Crystal Bow. A lot.
Crystal Bow Changes:
Stamina cost increased from 30 to 65
"Force" from initial hit reduced from 600 (holy moly) to 50.
This means that there's a much lower "hit react" to this in successive hits, which means you won't be able to stun-lock enemies when you hit them.
Initial hit damage reduced by 50%.
Burning status effect damage has been rebalanced.
"Attack Steering" feature has been implemented.
There's a grace period once you start an attack to adjust your melee and ranged attack rotations to make Melee Combat and Bow Quickshots feel more fluid and responsive. It'll feel great, even if you don't notice it right away!
Multiple fixes for rare crashes
Spells placed in the spellbook can now be removed.
Begone, seventh slot of Axetral Projection!
Radial Progress Bar will now correctly display progress when processing Dirty Water.
Proggers in the chat.
Fixes to accessing (or not accessing!) content in Creative Mode.
Reduced likelihood of Gravestones spawning in unrecoverable locations.
Don’t push your luck though, Death is here and he’s clearly not in the mood to do you any more favours.
Stamina will now regenerate during conversations.
We know Vannaka might leave some of you breathless but not like that.
The “Special Attack” for the Crystal Bow now responds to the players’ aim more accurately.
Fixes to triggers for gameplay effects in a few vaults.
The signal down there must be dreadful, in all fairness.
Fixes for music starting or stopping incorrectly in a range of locations.
Improvements to the character creation and Steam invite flow.
Fixes to the building stability system.
Fixes to General Velgar’s weaknesses and resistances.
Poison and Burning status messages no longer replicate incorrectly.
The fire might be a hint, no need for us to repeat ourselves.
This is our first Major Update for RuneScape: Dragonwilds, and we are especially proud of the work that has gone into making this the update that it is. We're very excited for you to get into game and try this for yourselves. We'll be talking to you throughout the release week, and we have lots more to show you, but on behalf of the entire RuneScape: Dragonwilds team:
Thank you for making this year, and our game, so special. Merry Wintumber, and a happy new year - if you survive…
