EX - Calibarrrrrrrr
The end of the year is fast approaching, but we've got just enough time to squeeze in a hitlist strike and tackle some more of your most-requested QoL changes.
This time around the team have been working on turning Revenant Enhancers into a currency to free up those precious Bank slots, updates to several audio requests players have been asking for, adding in the ability to drop items from your Backpack by shift-clicking them, adding a Load Last Preset option to bank chests, bank booths and bankers, refreshing the rare and super rare loot tables, and changing how Excalibur functions when clicked.
Phew! But that's not all the team's been up to. Check out the patch notes below for the full list of changes!
With all that out of the way, the Community Hitlist will be taking a break until January, when we'll be back to address more player pet peeves!
Master Cape Particle Recolouring
An early Christmas present!
As if the Christmas Village wasn't colourful enough, Mod Ramen has been busy in the workshop getting his GameJam project up and running! As of today's update, you'll be able to customise your Master Capes with all the colours (and shades) of the rainbow! As if that weren't enough, you can save your prettiest particles as presets. We can't wait to see what festive patterns you come up with!
Ultimate Christmas Currency Packs
Best Value Key Bundles With RuneCoins, Cosmetics & More!
Planning to treat yourself in RuneScape this Christmas?
The Ultimate Christmas Currency Packs offer the best value Key bundles this season, with a bumper offering of RuneCoins, Knowledge Bombs, Prismatic Stars and and some wonderfully wintery Holly Knight cosmetics! Our Medium and Large Currency Packs also contain over double the usual amount of Keys, as well as some additional Umbral Chests.

All three Ultimate Christmas Currency Packs are a one-time purchase for each offer, and will be available from today until January 3rd. You can find them in the Treasure Hunter shop on RuneScape.com.
While the Holly Knight cosmetics are part of our bumper Christmas bundle offers above, we know this offer won't be for everyone who would be interested in rocking the festive warrior look. If you're one of those players, we'll be making sure you can pick up the Holly Knight Armour & Sword from the Premier Token Store next Christmas!*
*Updating the Premier Token Store in general is still very much on our radar and something we're investigating for next year.

Patch Notes
Fixes and Improvements in this Week's Game Update
Community Hitlist
- Excalibur, Enhanced Excalibur and Augmented Enhanced Excalibur now have a consistent default action (Activate) when equipped and in the Backpack. This allows Excalibur's healing special to be activated with ease.
- Players can now use the 'Configure' option to choose whether to instead use Wield/Remove as the default action.
- After dragging Excalibur from the Backpack to the Action Bar, you can choose which default option the Action Bar uses.
- The 'Configure' option also lets you choose what you'd like to shout when Excalibur is activated. 'Silent' is the default option.
- You can now hold the Shift key and click items in the Backpack to drop them (if they support dropping, of course). Players will need to opt-in to this setting by navigating to Gameplay -> Interfaces -> Inventory.
- Doubled the output of Dinarrow components (Sharp Shell Shards, Tempered Fungal Shafts, 'Propellant') from the 3 'Accidental' Fletching and Firemaking activities south of the Anachronia dinosaur farm, and entirely reworked the eggsperimentation eggtivity to support a greater range of low- to high- intensity gameplay.
- Wherever possible, Bank chests, booths and bankers now have a Load Last Preset option. This reloads your most recent Bank preset without needing to open, populate and close your Bank interface.
- The 'Dare to Die' song that plays at War's Retreat now fades in more gently and plays at a lower volume, so that its drum track is gentler on the ears when passing through the PvM hub.
- A looping ambient sound of crystal chimes has been removed from the Tower of Voices and Max Guild in Prifddinas, to better suit extensive bankstanding.
- A repetitive moan in the Zombie Walk idle animation, audible to all nearby players, has been removed.
- A repetitive meow in the idle animation of some cats and kittens, audible to all nearby players, has been removed.
- By player request, we've reverted the sound played during clue scans to its pre-June version.
- The individual charges of Revenant Drop Enhancers can now be stacked in your Currency Pouch, freeing up Bank space.
- When loading a Bank preset including items that can be filled with essence, their current contents are now emptied into the Bank before refilling them, in case they contain a different type.
- Rebalanced and updated the rare and super-rare loot tables to remove some of the less valuable items (Runite Stone Spirits, Molten Glass and Raw Lobsters) and increase variance of items dropping in multiples.
- Players standing on charging pads during the Zamorak boss battle when the Infernus witch dies no longer need to step off and on again to charge the pad.
- Clarified the Start Point description for the TokTz-Ket-Dill quest.
- Multiple items can now be added to the Keepsake Box:
- Enhanced Boots
- Protea Flower
- Superior Zuriel's Staff
- Superior Dragon Weapons
- Superior Rock-Shell Armour
- Superior Spined Armour
- Superior Skeletal Armour
- Monkey Trinkets
- Cake Hat
- Mud Mask
- Fairy Wand
- Pendant of Lucien
- Mining Helmet
- Gofannon Amulet
- Cattleprod
- Mouse Toy
- Elite Death Lotus Dart
- Legatus Pendant
- Bug Lantern
- Imcando Hatchet
- The list of overhead emotes can now be filtered to only show the emotes you've unlocked.
- Misty, in the Deep Sea Fishing hub, now has two shiny new chat options:
- She will tell you how long it has been since the current encounter started. No more guessing how fresh the travelling merchant is!
- If no event is currently present, she will instead tell you how long it has been since there was an encounter.
- She will pass on the rumours of what stock the travelling merchant has that day.
- She will tell you how long it has been since the current encounter started. No more guessing how fresh the travelling merchant is!
- When purchasing the items in slots 2, 3 and 4 of the travelling merchant, it would erroneously show "Locked" instead of "Sold Out" to show the items were out of stock. This has now been corrected.
- When the game servers reboot as part of the weekly update, there was a minimum of 45 minutes before the first encounter in deep sea fishing (such as the travelling merchant) could appear. This is no longer the case and such encounters can now potentially (depending on RNG) appear immediately after a game server reboot.
