Update:Raids Tweaks & QoL



Raids Improvements

This week's update sees some balancing tweaks to the Twisted Bow, as well as a whole host of QOL updates.

Raids Rewards Changes

Twisted Bow

The Twisted Bow now also has a cap on the maximum damage buff it can get from the targets magic level, bringing it more in line with its intended DPS on creatures with very high magic levels. The buff will now max out against a target with level 250 Magic. It is important to note that in this instance, accuracy has not been affected, only damage.

Kodai Wand

The Kodai Wand now has a 15% chance of negating the rune cost on an offensive spell cast. An offensive spell is categorised as any spell which sees use in combat, and as such will not work on spells such as High Alchemy.

Ancestral Robes

In a minor usability tweak, Ancestral Robes may now be combined into a set at the Grand Exchange, to aid in the buying & selling of them.

Raids Tweaks


 * Scavenger runts are now a little bit beefier, but have two drops per kill instead of one.
 * The Raids Storage Chests now have a new option, allowing you to deposit items into a private store. The private store accepts most equippable items or tradeable items, as well as Raids-specific things, with a capacity of 30, 60 or 90 slots depending on its tier. You can still retrieve items from the private store after leaving your raiding dungeon – there’s a storage chest in the bank tent for this purpose. The private store must be emptied before you re-enter the Chambers of Xeric, so you can’t use it to transfer items between raids.
 * The Dragon Warhammer now works as a construction hammer within Raids.
 * Tweaked the colours of the seeds within Raids.
 * The Vanguard will now have a chance to drop potions upon being defeated.
