Update #39: Loot Keys, Torva PvM Buff, Rev. Maledictus & More

[David 444]

Loot Keys
Loot keys have been added, you can now choose to receive your player kill as a key in your inventory instead of every item being dropped on the ground.

• How do I toggle it on?
  • You can toggle it on by talking to Skully, he's located in the Ferox Enclave and in Edgeville, quick command ::loot can be used.
• How can I loot the keys?
  • You can loot it through the Loot Chest, located next to Skully in Ferox and Edgeville (::loot). It can also be found in the Edgeville Bank at the PvP zone.
    
    
     
• How do the loot keys work?
  • You can hold up to 5 loot keys, your skull will show the amount of keys you hold in your inventory.
  • Dropping a key will destroy it, when you have multiple amounts of keys in your inventory it will destroy the lowest valued key.
  • When you already have 5 Loot keys it will destroy the lowest valued key and replace it. If the new loot key's value is lower than the 5 Loot keys in your inventory, it will destroy the new loot key.
  • When your inventory is full the Loot key will be dropped on ground instead.
    
    
    We used the DMM key interface instead of OSRS's interface because it contains more information
     
• Configuration & Extras
  • The Royal rank has an extra perk where it will receive the Loot keys in a stackable form, thus giving you more inventory space whilst hunting players.
  • You can configurate which item you want to drop ground and which you want to keep in the Loot key based on it's value.
    
    

Torva HP Buff
The HP Buff is back, but unlike before it's now limited to outside the wilderness or dangerous areas.

• How does it work?
  • The HP buff won't be applied inside the wilderness, PvP zones, tournaments and in the duel arena. It will automatically revert upon entering these areas.
  • The HP Buff is in total 21 hitpoints, 4 for it's helm, 11 for the body and 6 for the legs.
    
    
     

Revenants Caves: Single Plus
The lower levels of Revenant caves is now single plus, this is mostly experimental since I saw there was a demand for single plus where NHers could NH without getting PJed. In the future if this update is well liked we can put money making methods in this part of the cave.

• What is Single Plus?
  • You cannot get attacked by other players or NPCs whilst attacking an opponent.
  • You can get PJed by players whilst fighting NPCs.
  • The PJ timer in this zone is 9.6 seconds, after 9.6 seconds of not attacking and not getting attacked you can get attacked by a player or NPC. This has been set to 9.6 seconds intentionally with the purpose that a second opponent has a 1 tick chance to attack you before you are able to log out (10 seconds logout timer).
• How can I get there?
  • We have added a command which teleports you there, both ::singleplus and ::single+ will teleport you inside the revenants caves.
    
    
     
• Revenant cave entrance change
  • OSRS has updated their entrances, we decided to just change the southern part since the northern one interferes with the multi area.
  • You can no longer exit from the spot you enter from, instead there are stairs next to the opening which you can use to exit. This will exit you to ~10 tiles from the original entrance.
    
    

Revenant Maledictus: Single Boss
We have introduced a single boss which will spawn once a day, this boss was introduced to promote more fights around the mage bank area.

• What are its characteristics?
  • You can only hit the boss if you are risking above 500M.
  • The boss has a magic attack which has a low damage output and long attack delay, it's size has also been decreased to 2x2. This was done to promote fights around it.
  • The boss will drop to the top 5 players who have done the most damage, it drops 1B per player and a rare chance on dropping 3x Infernal capes per player. This is a big drop due to it being spawned once a day with a risk requirement of 500M.
• When and where does it spawn?
  • It spawns once a day at 8PM GMT, this is subject to change depending on the activity around it. If it's less than expected I will do it per 2-3 days.
  • It spawns between Mage Arena and Deserted Keep.
    
    

Skotizo
The skotizo demi-boss has finally been added. The skotos pet has been wiped and arclight now needs to be charged. Darklight can be found in the slayer store.

• What are its characteristics?
  • At any time during the fight, Skotizo will randomly activate the Awakened Altars found in the north, south, east and west central areas of the room.
  • These Altars, which have 100 Hitpoints each, increase its Defence and apply a damage reduction effect while activated. It is best to take them out whenever two or more are present as they will drastically increase its Defence and reduce damage by up to 60% with Arclight and up to 100% with other weapons (15% and 25% per tower respectively). 
  • After two-thirds of Skotizo's health is depleted, it will summon three reanimated demon spawns to aid it. Skotizo may also summon a Dark Ankou to aid it under unclear circumstances. 
• How can I get there?
  • Use the catacombs teleport at the Spiritual Fairy Tree, it now teleports to the middle instead of the northern-east. Use a Dark totem on the Altar in order to get to Skotizo.
  • Using an ancient shard on the altar in the middle can teleport you to the sides of the catacomb. The monsters in the catacombs have a drop rate of 1/25 for an ancient shard and 1/50 for a dark totem.
    
    

Private & Friend Instances
You no longer have to leave the current clanchat you are in to join instances! We expanded the Private & Friend instances system & also added a QoL to it.

• What are the changes?
  • We have added it to several more bosses, the bosses we currently support are:
    • Chambers of Xeric
    • Theatre of Blood
    • Nex
    • Godwars rooms
  • You can now press 'Enter' as a shortcut to join the instance you last entered, this way you no longer have to type it out each time.

Sarachnis
The Sarachnis demi-boss has been added. The Sraracha pet has been wiped. You can enter it's main crypt when it's empty or start an instance by right-clicking it's webs at the entrance.

• What are its characteristics?
  • Sarachnis has several attacks that she will occasionally use other than the standard melee and ranged attacks. Her melee attacks consist of smashing the player with her legs, while she launches barbed projectiles as her ranged attack.
    • Spawns - When Sarachnis reaches 66% and 33% health, she summons 2 Spawn of Sarachnis per player; a level 68 that uses Magic and has a maximum hit of 11, and a level 107 that uses Melee and has a maximum hit of 13. Both have 30 health.
    • Sticky web - Every four standard attacks, Sarachnis will screech out "Hsss!", shooting out a sticky web that leaves players bound for roughly three seconds, before moving a short distance away from where she was before attacking the player.
    • Healing strike - Sarachnis' standard attacks will heal her on successful hits, indicated by a  magenta hitsplat. She heals 5 health for every successful melee attack, and 10 health for every successful ranged attack, regardless of how much damage she actually deals, including zeros.
• How can I get there?
  • Use the Sarachnis boss teleport at the Spiritual Fairy Tree.

Should maybe do a hotfix for the droptables of Skotizo and Sarachnis as the only reason to kill them now is for the pets pretty much, which seems weird for two new bosses. Other than that great update, bless.
