January Patch 2021

 

Ancient Warrior's Equipment 

Wilderness Slayer 

The Ancient Warrior's Equipment (PVP Armors) can be obtained by wilderness slayer. However it is important to note that this armor will only be dropped by NPCs with a combat level of 70+.  You will receive both a game message and a global broadcast of the drop. 

Wilderness Bosses

The Wilderness Bosses (Scorpia, Callisto, Venenatis, Vet'ion) will have the Ancient Warrior's Equipment (PVP Armors) added to their drop table.  The drop chances are weighed based upon the type for example weapons will be rarer then armor and armor will be rarer then throwing axes or javelins.  You will also have a slight buff in drop chance if you are currently on task for a wilderness boss. 

 

Clue Hunter Outfit

Obtaining the Clue Hunter Outfit

The Clue hunter outfit which was originally added to OSRS around the Summer of 2016 during the "Crack the clue!" Event has finally been added to Zenyte. You will be able to obtain this outfit by digging at the specific location(s) that were discovered during this event. A guide on how to obtain all items can be found here. 

Warm Clothing 

The Clue hunter outfit is best known for the effect of being warm clothing for Wintertodt. You will be able to obtain 6 pieces of warm clothing in the matter of 10 to 15 minutes after creating a new ironman account for example which is currently a pain in the rear for a lack of a better term with the lack of warm clothing available to fresh accounts.

Twisted Ancestral Robes 

The Twisted Ancestral Color Kit 

The Twisted Ancestral Color Kit can be obtained by completing a raid at the rate of 1/125. You will have the ability to use this coloring kit on one piece of Ancestral Armor turning it into Twisted Ancestral.  It is important to note this will only effect 1 piece of armor at a time so you will need at least 3 coloring kits to make a full set of Twisted Ancestral. 

Death Mechanics & Dismantling

During a PVP situation in which Twisted Ancestral is risked if dropped the Ancestral will turn into regular Ancestral along with 80k coins to represent the Twisted Color Kit.  During a non-wilderness death the Twisted Ancestral will be kept in tact and will be handled as a standard death drop.  You will also be able to dismantle the robes and receive both a regular piece of ancestral and the coloring kit.

On behalf of Matt:

 

 

Hello Community,

I wanted to write a brief statement and attach it to the update log of January 11th 2021.  I would like to first say thank you for your patience during these month(s) as we all awaited an update.  I made a statement during the Christmas announcement that I understood that 2020 was full of lost hope, and broken promises. I want us turn a new leaf and I feel by being transparent and honest with our community is a major step in the right direction. I made a statement in the New Year's thread that I wanted to have the December content poll update in beta testing by the first week of January and updated into the live game by the first half of January. This was able to happen  successfully due to the astonishing work of many dedicated individuals. This is hopefully one of many updates that you will see in the future from our new management team however one thing that I would like from our community as we move forward is for participation in our content polls, surveys, and suggestion boards. These will be fundamental when we work on our monthly update schedule.

The QA Team, Development Team, Staff Team, and Senior Staff Team put a lot of effort into the QA testing for this update. A couple of individuals clocked in a 6 to 8 hour days Monday through Thursday.  You guys are the true VIPs of this update! 

I would also like to take a minute to address the PVP aspect of the Ancient Warrior Armor update! It has came to my attention prior to release that individuals may use multiple alternative accounts to kill the bosses in record times, and have other accounts/friends to kill any on comers. It is important to remember that that there is no instances or worlds so please be respectful of your fellow players.  The common courtesy rule should be followed and I have instructed the Staff Team to enforce it as needed. I would also like touch base on a few inquiries I have received in regards to safe spotting. You will be allowed to safe spot the bosses in a mechanic similar to OSRS for example Venenatis is able to be safe spotted on a different tile then OSRS however a similar method. You will not be allowed to use alternative account(s) to manipulate walk paths etc of the wilderness bosses.  This is unethical and actually as of recent raised a huge stink on OSRS when people was using this mechanic for Cerberus. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out to a member of Staff prior to using a safe spot. 

 

Thank you,

Matt
