The ScapeRune development team plans to start the new year off right with another large update batch! We have been hard at work recreating your favorite pieces of content and believe that this update is certainly another one for the books!
We bring to you all,
Update Batch #14.
Networking Overhaul
Our complete networking has recieved an overhaul by a close friend of ours named Jire. Not only is it faster, packets now poll correctly as well. By fixing the packet polling, item switching along with several other combat combinations will now work exactly like the real game. The JS5 has also recieved heavy optimization, you can now expect the client to recieve bits of the cache much quicker as well.
Death Plateau
Trolls have come down from the north and are camped on Death Plateau. They are using this base to launch attacks on the principality of Burthorpe!
The Imperial Guard is taking heavy losses. They need your help!
Head to Denulth, who is located in a tent east of the Warriors' Guild north of the Heroes' Guild (north of Taverley) in a town called Burthorpe. He tells you trolls have taken over the Death Plateau and are using it to launch nightly raids. However, they cannot reclaim the camp because the main path is heavily guarded by trolls. It has now become your job to find a different path to the Death Plateau. You also have to open the equipment storage room, which requires a combination code.
The Grand Tree
The Grand Tree, which shelters the majority of the small gnome population of ScapeRune, is dying. Is it human sabotage or an inside job? Help King Shareen to find the true cause and save the tree gnomes from an uncertain fate.
Speak to King Narnode Shareen on the ground floor of the Grand Tree. He will ask you for your help reviving the Grand Tree, which is ill, and give you a translation book and a bark sample.
The Duel Arena
The Al-Kharid Duel Arena is a place where players can go to engage in one-on-one Combat, either for fun or for staking items. The arena is located northeast of Al-Kharid. It is fenced off from the rest of the area.
Players can also rub a Ring of Dueling to teleport directly to the arena entrance. This saves on having to walk from far away, although using an Amulet of glory to teleport to the Al Kharid Palace is another viable option along with the Lumbridge Home Teleport as it is close to the Duel Arena.
To fight another player, players must right-click their intended opponent and select the "Challenge" option. This will tell that player that someone wishes to duel with them, and they accept by challenging that player in return.
This is a safe minigame.
If you die here, you will not lose any of your items.
