There might be a storm on the horizon in Gielinor, but over at Jagex HQ we've got our fingers crossed that the sun will return in time for our big charity adventures.

This week sees the release of Desperate Times, the first step in an epic new quest series. Read on to find out all the juicy details and find out what your favourite JMods are getting up to for Mental Health Awareness Week.

Desperate Times

Seren has a plan to deal with the Elder God threat - but don't expect things to go smoothly. The races of Gielinor are far from united and a certain somebody has thrown a wrench in the works. Or is that a Needle?

How to Start

Join Seren's council by talking to her on the first floor of Burthorpe Castle.

Requirements

RuneScape membership

Level 50 Mining

Level 50 Smithing

Level 50 Divination

Completion of The Needle Skips and You Are It

Mental Health Awareness Week

As you know, we're passionate about mental health here at Jagex, and one of our big initiatives has been to connect with mental health charities here in the UK. Recently we extended our outreach across the pond and teamed up with You Are RAD, a mental health charity based in the US.

On Thursday, May 16th, we'll be hosting a reddit AMA with Jason, the founder of You Are RAD. It's a great opportunity to learn more about the charity's work and how they use gaming as a pathway to raise awareness and funds. It's a great way to round off Mental Health Awareness Week.

The AMA will start at 16:00 Game Time and end at 17.00 Game time on /r/iama . See you there!

Jagex Charitable Giving

In between working on that enormously cool update that we're not allowed to talk about, the JMods have been in intensive training for not one, but TWO awesome charity fundraisers.

Mod Purpur will be walking the entire length of Hadrian's Wall in just 5 days, solo. That's a whopping 84 miles! (135 Km) Not to mention that she'll be doing it all while contending with the notoriously dodgy highland weather.

Two days ago, 13 of our bravest (or most foolhardy) colleagues have taken on the 2019 Rat Race Dirty Weekend, a 20 mile (32 Km) cross country adventure across land and water, broken up by obstacles including climbing walls, cargo nets, and the world's longest stretch of monkey bars.

To donate to either one of these brave parties, visit our Virgin Money Giving page here. All funds raised will be split between our UK partner charities, CPSL Mind and The Prince's Trust.

To see what other charity initiatives we have planned this year, check out the Jagex Charitable Giving blog.

Avoiding Dental Catastrophe - Update

On behalf of Jagex, and our three charity partners, we would like to thank you for supporting their work in Mental Health during the Avoiding Dental Catastrophe Easter event.

Whilst the funds raised from the event were to be shared equally between CPSL Mind & The Prince's Trust, the RuneScape team have, in addition, decided to donate Solomon's Store revenue for that period too!!!

This means we can share the total between all three of our charity partners - and what a total it is - 168,000 ($219,000).

Thank you so much, and keep an eye out on our social media channels this week for profiles of all three of our charity partners as part of our Mental Health Awareness Week initiatives.

LootScape

Our live streams are always a great opportunity to grab some awesome in-game prizes. And this May, we've done one particularly hefty update of the LootScape for you! We've added a bonanza package for your Player-Owned Farm, courtesy of Granny Potterington. In addition, we thought it would be time to bring back some player-favourite goodies: the skilling outfit piece, the Loots Cape and Nature's Balance (main-hand sword override).

This May, each and every RuneScape stream watched will give you a random drop from one of the following:

Guaranteed:
  • Between 10-100 Player-Owned Farm Beans
  • A name re-roller or trait re-roller
  • A random animal for their farm
  • Guaranteed drop from Basic Drop Table (see below)
  • View counter goes up on Orb
Chance based:
  • A random skilling outfit piece (if unowned)
  • Either Nature's Balance or Loots Cape (if unowned)
Basic Drop Table: Prismatic small fallen star, Prismatic medium fallen star, Prismatic small lamp, Prismatic medium lamp, Spirit Ruby, Spirit Diamond, Advanced Pulse Core, Spring, Silverhawk down, Medium DG Token Box, Small DG Token Box, Uncut Dragonstone, Large Cash Bag, Medium Cash Bag or Small Cash Bag.

Exciting isn't it?! So don't wait up - connect your RS account to your Twitch account and find out more . Once that's done, have fun and watch our streams during the day for a guaranteed drop.

Patch notes

Hey everyone, with a new quest release we're a bit limited with our content patch notes, we do however have some NXT patch notes to share with you!

Afbeelding Content
  • For the oldest clans in the game they'd show a clan creation date of 1st January 1970, we're pretty sure they're not that old so we've fixed this by setting any clans in this state to 12th April 2011 (the day Clan Chat released)
  • Clan members should no longer trigger a "has been in the clan for 0 years!" broadcast
  • When a guest fails a guest clan chat PIN check the broadcast to fire to a clan informing them should now work properly
  • When viewing a Clan's info via Guest Clan Chat it will no longer always mention January as their creation month.
  • Clan Chat Job titles will now update the Clan Chat player list when alphabetical position changes with display name.
  • Fixed a disconnection when trying to display a clan's upcoming events with an invalid event sub type selected.
  • Players who were part way through the Cabin Fever quest at the point where they'd already added 6 plunder to their plunder chest will now once again be able to continue and complete the quest. We made a change some time ago to only use 5 plunder, down from the original 6. Anyone who'd already stored 6 plunder and stopped the quest will have found themselves unable to continue, despite the chest being full. This has been rectified.
  • Fixed an issue with some achievements and RuneScore.
  • Glout has gotten tired standing up all weekend, and can no longer hold up the illusion that he is Glouph. He's surprised the world guardian did not notice who he was impersonating and try to arrest him.
Afbeelding NXT
  • Fixed the issue causing white outlines to remain around action bar boxes when hovered over.
  • Fixed a minimenu-related teleport crash
  • Fixed an issue that infrequently caused crashes whilst teleporting (separately from the minimenu issue).
  • Fixed an issue where some areas of floor would not load in correctly.
  • Fixed an issue causing visual artefacts on mobile platforms.
  • Fixed an issue where gates may appear both open and closed simultaneously.
