December 2022 - Theatre of Blood

 

Theatre of Blood 

Theatre of Blood

The Theatre of Blood has arrived. Six new terrifying bosses, Seven new rare items including the mighty Scythe of Vitur. This has been in the making since 2019, I therefor want to thank all the previous developers, in no particular order, that worked on TOB. Thanks to Tommeh, Chris, Corey and Grant. TOB is, like previously mentioned, releasing without Verzik's third phase, this due to time constraints. However in the last week before this release I have started to work on Verzik's third phase and I can guarantee it will release early January. Before I list the other changes I want to thank the lovely people that helped beta test TOB with me. They will be awarded with a unique cosmetic as a reward.

November 2022 - Aerial Fishing + More

 

Aerial Fishing
This might come as a surprise whilst we are in beta phase for TOB to have a skilling method come out. I must thank @BurninLovefor giving me the inspiration for this part of the update. This training method has been implemented identical to OSRS with 2 exceptions: the rate of catching a Golden Tench and Molch Pearls. The rate for the golden tench has been reduced to 1/2k instead of 1/20k and the formula for Molch Pearls is as shown below.

Molch Pearls Formula:
1 in (99 - (3x/4)) where x = ((2 * fishing level + hunter level) / 3)

Which means:
1/25 for 99 hunter and 99 Fishing
1/32 for 90 hunter and 90 Fishing
1/39 for 80 hunter and 80 Fishing
....
