Our biggest end-game content update of 2025

New tasks, new bosses and a bunch of new items!

The biggest part of this update is the new Valley of the Gods boss, Mesines. Most of the new content in this update is in some way connected to it, either in the form of equipment or necessary preparations. Preparing to successfully fight Mesines takes a considerable amount of time, but if you commit and succeed, you'll have a chance of finding Otherworldly ore, which is used to create new Otherworldly armour with the smithing skill.

Also, as was was forecasted, completionist capes now require the Exterminating skill as well. You'll be unable to equip existing completionist capes if you don't meet the Exterminating level requirement for them.

Onto the patch notes!

• Exterminating

  • Exterminating mastery capes have been released. Fighting your Exterminating assignments will raise your damage output by 6%, 12%, 18% and 24% respectively when equipped

  • Exterminating enchantments have been added. Similar to mastery capes, they also boost your damage output against active assignments. Boosts are 1.5%, 3% and 5% for Common, Rare and Exceptional enchantments

Smaller changes

• One of my personal favourites, pressing the small button next to the "Activities" text on the left no longer opens a popup displaying available activities. Instead, it'll show activities below in a compact way so that you can see all available activities at once without needing to scroll. This setting is remembered and persists between sessions

• To better control the currently massive influx of chests of all types and to return to their original goal of being items that you have to obtain via skilling, you no longer receive any chests from Reckoning of the Gods and no Exceptional chests from combat. Common and rare chests are still available via combat for enchantments to not be too big of a drag early game

• The Valley of the Gods bosses now drop less gold than before. Their drop tables are already lucrative and we should aim to decrease gold influx where we can

• Brewing tasks were slightly visually modified to be more compact and fit more item costs

• Loot is now aggregated when opening multiple chests to reduce the amount of item entries you have to look at

• Items powerful against specific monsters now display their damage boost percentage in their item description

• The item info popup when hovering quest item requirements no longer goes as far away
