Monster Examine & Deadman

 

This week we've beefed up monster examine to provide you with a lot more information on the monsters you are most interested in. We've also got an update to attack priority options allowing you to set different options for NPCs and players, as well as a bunch of changes for Deadman mode!

 

Monster Examine

 

Ever wondered what Defence level TzTok-Jad is? Or perhaps the attack level of an imp? Wonder no more! Monster examine has been improved and will now provide you with much more information about the monsters you choose to examine.

 

Monster examine will now provide the following information:

 

Stats

Offensive stats

Defensive stats

Other attributes (is/isn't a slayer monster, can/can't be poisoned, can/can't be cannoned)

Please note that the information provided in monster examine does not take special attacks or changing forms into account.

 

So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and scout out the foes you find most intriguing with monster examine and uncover some of the details of what they have going on under the hood!

 

Separate attack priority options

 

The attack priority options which allowed you to choose when and where you would like the attack option to appear on NPCs and players has now been updated to give you more control.

The options have been separated into two settings for players and NPCs. An additional option for hiding the attack option has also been added for both players and NPCs.

 

 

 

 

 

Deadman Changes

 

Skull timer

 

When skulled in Deadman mode you will now see a timer appear on your screen letting you know roughly how long you have to go until your skull expires. The timer updates every 30 seconds.

Changes to bank keys

 

We have made a number of changes to how bank keys work in Deadman mode:

 

When killing a player who is in possession of bank keys you will now receive the most valuable keys from that player rather than the oldest. The key that is created from their bank is also included when deciding which keys are most valuable.

If you do not have inventory space to receive a key it will be dropped to the floor. This will only happen until you hit the limit of 5 keys. Both keys in your inventory and on the floor count towards this limit.

In a safe zone, all keys are dropped to the floor.

Keys on the floor which belong to a player who dies are destroyed.

A player frozen by guards cannot pickup or telegrab items.

Changes to boxing

 

A number of players have been staying in combat with friends or low level monsters, dealing very little damage and receiving very little damage, in an attempt to avoid dying to PKers.

 

It is now possible to attack players in this sort of combat. If you are looking for a kill and you see someone in one of these sorts of situations, make sure to try attacking them! You may well be able to hop in and grab yourself a loot.
