Welcome to our first patch of season 4! We have many fixes & tweaks as well as some exciting new content! There is also an active poll for future content: TzHaar City & The Fight Caves in discord!
Let's start these patch notes with some of our major feature additions!

Major Feature Additions

Several months ago, in May 2020, we revamped our questing system to allow us to create better looking and engaging quests. For example, this allowed us to release the Dragon Slayer quest with a cutscene.
We have once again reworked our questing system to allow for fully instanced quests as well as better cutscenes!

This new patch contains two new main-line quests and one winter event quest.

Quests

The Fremennik Trials

With the release of the Fremennik isles, we are introducing a quest to become a real Fremennik!  Undergo the Trials with various townsfolk in Rellekka to complete the quest and gain access to Neitiznot, Jatizso & future content!
Completing this quest will grant you the ability to travel to the Fremennik Isles.

Lumbridge Catacombs

Something fishy is happening to Lumbridge Catacombs... Will you be able to help Xenia and free a prisoner from a terrible fate?!

This new starter quest comes with cutscenes, three boss fights, and is fully instanced. Completing this quest will reward the player 500XP in the main combat skills as well as three new unique weapons.
- Kayle's chargebow, a level one bow requiring no ammunition to shoot
- Caitlin's staff, a level one staff doing more damage than the basic air staff
- Reese's sword, a level one sword doing more damage than a 2h bronze sword.

Winter Quests

Mrs Claus has a task for you! Talk to her at any major cities to start this quest. Completing this quest grants you the Frozen cosmetic title!

We have also added a reward from the Winter Agility Cracker. Open this cracker to receive a Santa's Hat (basic variant) cosmetic override.

This Season 4 patch 1 update also comes with various early-game gameplay elements.

Lumbridge Slayer Dungeon

A new Slayer Dungeon has come to life in Lumbridge! Talk to Spria in Lumbridge's catacombs.

This dungeon contains three mobs
- Cave bugs, level 1 slayer
- Zamorakian Monks, level 5 slayer (this is a dungeon exclusive mob)
- Crawling hands, level 5 slayer

This dungeon can be used until the player reaches level 15 in the slayer skill.

Easy Lumbridge Parkour

With the addition of bedrock, we have addressed an already present concern. Agility is difficult for some PC users, and especially bedrock users! We have added a new Lumbridge Easy Course! Only one jump is present, and it's to return to the starting point.
The old Lumbridge course has been renamed to "Lumbridge Course Hard".

An additional, higher level no-jump course with a quest requirement will be added at some point soon(tm!)  

New Cosmetics

Starting this patch, a new type of cosmetic has been introduced! These cosmetics will be applicable for all weapon types as well as armor and are cross-account, they can also be applied for free at any time once owned at a transmog NPC! Our designers are hard at work creating league-themed rewards for the end of season points shop! You will be able to unlock one time only league cosmetics that match the theme of that league, and they will not be available ever again!

Brine Rats & The Brine Sabre

We have added the Brine Sabre! You can find these new Brine rats in the Brine Cave. Take a shovel and dig your way through the cave. Brine rats drop the new weapon: The Brine Sabre!
The brine sabre is a one hander with a fast hitting speed. It's using the heavy strength formula meaning higher strength will be more effective with this weapon.
Unlocked at level 50, it does 73 base damage and is BiS with high strength.

Aberrant spectres & The Lava Battlestaff

Finally, a better battlestaff (increased base damage)! The Aberrant Spectres have been introduced and are located in the Slayer Tower and will drop the battlestaff!
The lava battlestaff provides free fire and earth runes for combat spells.

Sainclair's mansion

We have added Sainclair's mansion that will soon be the home of a new incoming quest!
Here are some beautiful screenshots of this new mansion.

Jatizso

We have revamped Jatizso's mine. Here are some pictures of the new mine.

Quality of Life Changes

Fishing Update

If you fail to catch a fish, you will now re-cast your fishing tool automatically! We received a lot of feedback about this, and believe bringing back fishing as the "I'm doing homework/in classes" activity for everyone is the correct decision. While anchovy pizzas will still provide a slight xp/hr increase, we will be watching them closely to determine if they will need a buff as a result of this change!

User Interface Additions

You will notice several new additions to the Minescape overall User Interface!

Prayer icons

Your active prayers now appear on-top of your screen. Combine that with your prayer scepter and you should be ready to use prayer efficiently!

Quest rewards

We have added a custom quest complete screen! As of right now, it works best on 1.13 -> 1.14.4.

Dialogue box

We have revamped the interface of our dialogue system. Talking to an NPC will now pause your chat and open a chat box.
Below is an example of the new dialogue box.

Punching/Clicking an entity will continue the dialogue if there's only one option available for you to click.

Damage indicators

Finally! They're finally back! Damage indicators. We have visually re-worked our damage indicators and fixed the several issues that made us disable them. There are three different visuals: red for normal hits, blue for misses, and orange for criticals.
This provides a better overall immersion with it comes to combat and seeing other players fight.

Tab rework

We heard you! You can now see your active buffs by pressing tab!
The tab list now contains several lines listing your various buffers.

Cursor

Our recent Season 4 update made several skiling interfaces reset their cursor locations. We have fixed that issue, making single click actions viable for faster xp/h training.

Agility armor

And lastly, we have added the agility armor to the agility skilling guide!

Inventory management

This update comes with a complete rework of the way we handle inventories internally. This fixes several issues such as ghost-items and items simply vanishing from your inventory under rare circumstances (e.g. holding an item on cursor and teleporting).

Shift + Click Helmets

You may now press Shift + Click on a helmet to equip it into your empty helmet slot! This is an issue that has long been needed to be addressed for Kalphite Queen and PvP situations. We will still be looking at improving PvP overall in future updates!

Cyclops Gravestone

If you fall to Cyclops, your gravestone will now spawn outside of the Warrior's Guild! This should prevent players from having to re-grind for tokens without their gear while the timer ticks down.

Tweaks and fixes

This update also comes with various tweaks and fixes.

Skilling capes

The skilling capes have been buffed. They now provide a 5% prayer buffer and 20 base defence instead of 9.

Combat

We have removed the attack level cap in hit-chance computation for players. We had previously removed that entirely to make bosses a bit easier to dodge.

Beginner/Easy clues

After watching several clue streams, we decided to make beginner and easy clues a tad easier. We have fixed their maximum length and made hot and cold easier. They now give a 10 block distance if in a 100 blocks radius and a 1 block precision if you're very close to the digging location.

Thieving

We have increased the overall thieving rates, bringing them back to how they were pre Season 4 update.

Amulet of Glory

We have removed the Heroes Guild teleport from the Amulet of Glory and added four new teleports:
- Edgeville teleport
- Karamja teleport
- Draynor Village teleport
- Al-Kharid teleport

Tuna potatoes

We have fixed the effect of tuna potatoes. They now provide 10% faster speed in gathering skills.

Evil chicken

The season 4 update accidentally removed the Dagonhai drops from the Evil Chicken. We have added these back.

Lobby

Ah, the lobby...
The place where some AFK-ers like to spend their time, blocking new player's visions.
AFK players in the lobby will now be teleported to the graveyard!
