Note: We're using a new versioning scheme, following year.update meaning this update will be 2017.1 and next update will be 2017.2 and so on. This helps us refer to a future update, and plan content.
Blood Chests
The lore was true. Those who've spoken to Nigel knows what's to come. It's time to become either a Hunter, or Hunted.
When you kill an enemy in level 5 Wilderness onward, there is a rare chance of the corpse yielding a Blood Key - a cursed, chaos-imbued key leading to great treasure. But beware! Picking up the key is subject to the curse: You shall not teleport. You shall be skulled. You shall be placed in spotlight. You shall take multiple enemies, wherever.
Once you take the key, your goal is to make it out of the Wilderness. However, since you're Teleblocked from the moment you take it, life becomes rather difficult. On top of that, you're skulled, and you're considered in a multiway-combat zone until you escape. Meaning you have two options: wait out the (half-time) Teleblock, or walk south. Far south.
Everyone will know your Wilderness level. Those who see themselves as Hunters, can pick up a
Ruby of the Fallen in Nigel's house, West of the general store. This gem lets you inspect the Hunted in the Wilderness, and shows their Wilderness level and the direction relative to you.
If you're tough enough to take a key home, you can open the chest in Nigel's house. The keys have different rarities, varying from easy to master. These all have unique rewards, identical to what Clue Scrolls offer.
Important notes:
- Picking up the key teleblocks you, skulls you, and lets multiple people attack you without being in multi-combat*] You cannot logout with the key. The only option is destroying it - which breaks it*] Closing the game client with a key in the Wilderness keeps you logged in for a full minute*] You stand no chance.
Raids Items
We've updated the game to the most recent version, meaning that we're now including the following items. They are
available in the store, and will make an entry later in-game through bosses too.
Twisted Bow
Being the strongest bow in-game, it has an important feature you must notice. Its damage as well as accuracy scales with the enemy's magic level. The higher their magic level, the more you'll hit and the more accurate your attacks. That also means that you'll hit less likely, and less high with an opponent of magic level 1.
Twisted Buckler
A new best-in-slot for crossbow rangers: the Twisted Buckler. A small, round shield perfectly combined with the new Dragon Hunter Crossbow!
Dragon Sword
A new sword, comparable to the Dragon Longsword. Nothing too impressive or powerful, but proves a nice addition to the game.
Dragon Hunter Crossbow
Being a crossbow nearly as strong as the Armadylean variant, it has one nifty feature: it deals 20% more damage against dragons. Have a big Dragon task? That'll be your new friend.
Elder Maul
Most of you surely remember the Chaotic maul. Well, guess what has just made its appearance in OS-Scape: no, wrong, not the chaotic maul. However, a comparable weapon: the Elder Maul. Although it has no special attack, it surely can be your new best friend when combined with a special weapon to finish 'em off.
Kodai Wand
The strongest wand of them all: The Kodai Wand. Requiring 75 Magic, it has a great set of bonuses and can autocast Ancient Magicks! A must-have when combined with the set below..
Ancestral Robes
Just when you thought Ahrim's robes were the best in slot, you're being proven wrong. The Ancestral Robes provide a best-in-slot Magic robe, top and hat to make your max mage setup slightly nicer. It'll be unlikely that your Teleblock will splash.
Dinh's Bulwark
Behold: riot shields. The Dinh's Bulwark is a massive shield, equipped as a two-handed weapon that lets you make your enemy's shins bleed. It has a second attack style: defensive. While in this mode, all damage is reduced by 20% as long as it's not PvP damage. On top of that, it has an extremely powerful special attack which deals damage to everyone in a 5x5 area around you! On top of that, the defensive bonuses are supreme. Tanktest? Bulwark.
Rigour, Augury & Preserve
There are three new prayers. It's time to worship the Gods again and pray for their blessing as your bonuses are about to be increased! However, you must unlock these prayers by obtaining the Prayer scroll from Skotizo. Good luck with that!
Crystal Chest
If you have a tooth and a loop half of a key, be sure to combine them! You can use them on the Crystal chest since this update, and it has some great rewards. Time to use your keys!
