Update #35: Theatre of Blood (Hard), Summer Event, PvP Leagues, Raids Scoreboard & Much More

[David 425]

Summer Event: Hespori
Hespori is wrecking villages and now the wilderness! The Mogre Guard's gnome village has been destroyed, he is asking for your help in Edgeville. Bring him your Summer tickets and he will reward you.

• What is the reward?
  • You will receive a Summer box after bringing 20.000 Summer tickets to the Mogre Guard.
  • The Summer box rewards you several cosmetics and exclusive items.
  • Hespori has a 1/500 chance of dropping its exclusive easter egg helm & the eggshell armour.
    
    
     
• How can I obtain Summer tickets?
  • You can obtain the tickets by killing tree spirits in the wilderness, they don't return as quick after dying so head off to the other zones before someone else kills them.
  • Every three hours Hespori will appear near Demonic Ruins, after it's death it will reward you the Summer tickets equal to 50% of the amount of damage you've done.
  • For the location of the tree spirits click here (https://i.gyazo.com/5daeebbe1036b112ed98ad5b33f015ab.png)
• What are the attack styles of Hespori?
  • Hespori does a magical attack, the attack can be negated by using the Protect from Magic prayer.
  • When Hespori's HP reaches 25, 50 and 75 percent it will spawn 8 flowers which you will have to kill in order to be able to damage Hespori again.
    
    

Theatre of Blood (Hard Mode)
The hard-mode version was just released a few days ago on OSRS, the raid was made a bit harder with higher damage output and a few more attacks.

• What are the changes?
  • Stage I - After hitting a pillar with her magic attack, rubble will fall within a 3 tile radius from the edge of the struck pillar, dealing up to 35 damage if caught in one.
  • Stage II - Verzik's ranged attacks leave behind a poisonous pool for a few seconds after hitting the ground, dealing 7-11 damage per tick if stood on.
  • Stage III - Verzik's charged attack hits three times for each player, with three individual tiles each to protect from each strike. They cannot be tick-eaten. The green balls also deal more damage. When she reaches 5% or lower of her health, she will heal 1,000 health as a one-time occurrence. This cannot be avoided or skipped.
• What do we get in return?
  • You will have the chance to receive a few more items like you do in the Hard/Challenge mode in Chambers of Xeric. You can read more about the items below in 'New Items'.
    
    

PvP Leagues
The rewards for the PvP Leagues have been upped immensely, we have also added another League: Main NH.

• What are the changes?
  • A new League has been added, Main NH League
  • You can now view up to 30 matches, we have also patched the league rank value in the profiles tab.
  • We have renamed the Challengers divison to the Champions division.
• What are the rewards?
  • Instead of monthly rewards, you will now be rewarded every week - on the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th.
  • As an addition on top of the usual rewards, you will receive cosmetic item(s) every week if you are in the top 3.
  • There are four different cosmetic sets, one for every week, the top 3 is rewarded 1-3 items depending on their rank.
    • #1 receives 25M 07 & a 50$ scroll + 3 pieces of the cosmetic set for that week.
    • #2 receives 10M 07 & a 25$ scroll + 2 pieces of the cosmetic set for that week.
    • #3 receives 5M 07 & a 10$ scroll + 1 piece of the cosmetic set for that week.
      
      

Raids Scoreboard
We have improved the functionality of the scoreboard system for raids which tracks who has the fastest raid time.

• What are the changes?
  • We have added the scoreboard system ToB used to have to CoX & Nightmare.
  • The scoreboard system has been expanded and now has seperate score-cards for the Solo, Duo, Trio and Group type raids.
    
    

 

Quick Teleporting
Personally the biggest QoL for me in this batch of updates, quick teleporting! You are now able to right-click the home-teleport to configure where it leads too.

• How does it work?
  • You can change your home-teleport to any teleport, you also have a second quick-teleport option you can use by right-clicking.
    • Simply right-click the home teleport in your spellbook > Configure Teleport options
    • Choose whether you want to configure your first or second teleport option.
    • Choose from the batch of locations you want it to teleport to.
  • You can also use the home teleport to teleport to different locations instead of having to type the command, simply right-click > Choose Teleport Destination.
    
    

Countdown Timers
We have updated our overlay system to match with RuneLite's.

• What was added?
  • We have added support for CoX potions & other potions.
  • You will now see whether it was an entangle, snare, bind or an ice spell freezing you.

QoL Additions
We have had a few great QoL additions.

• Weapon tab attack style saving
  • We have updated the weapon tab UI to match OSRS.
  • The weapon tab now saves it's attack style based on the weapon type like on OSRS, prior to this it would look for a matching option which didn't suit certain scenario's such as attacking with long-range on your Sanguinesti staff.
    
    
     
• Chatbox
  • The chatbox now matches with the newly updated OSRS chatbox.
  • We have added the blue highlight if a chat-tab has received a message, e.g. you receive a trade whilst you are on the clanchat-tab.
