Locked Update Log #153 - Archaeology Expansion - Senntisten!

[Sandstorm]

Archaeology

• Added a brand new custom interface for Research Management;
• Players will now be able to send a research team towards any of the Digsites they have the Archaeology level for;
• The research expeditions can be set to last from 1 hour to 24 hours, with higher times requiring more Chronotes, but yielding much bigger rewards;
• The rewards consist of large EXP chunks, Materials and (Damaged) Artefacts (depending on the Digsite chosen);
• Added A LOT of Special Research objects. These may be interacted with at Digsites to 'unlock' them, and then research them in the 'Special Researches' tab;
• I had to reset the few Special Researches we had prior to this update, as they were not functioning the way I wanted them to; though this should not be an issue as you can simply re-visit and re-click them to unlock;
• Added the 'Head of Research' NPC at the Archaeology Guild. He will provide you with a lot of information on how to start and progress through the Research Management system;
• Added the missing Kharid-et and Senntisten teleport locations to the Digsites map at the Archaeology guild;
• Added the 'Senntisten' Dig Site and all of it's NPC's, Caches and Excavation hotspots;
• Added 3 new Mysteries around Senntisten: Empty Children, Secrets of the Inquisition and Night Theatre;
• Added 8 new Collections related to Senntisten, 5 of them being Collector specific with Eblis who's located at the Bandit Camp lodestone;

 

 

Prayer Books

• You can now 'Add-X' and 'Add-all' pages to add charge to your god books instead of using them on the actual books;
• Raised their default store value, and added all of the damaged variants to May's Quest shop;
• The price raise has also been changed for when talking to Jossik;

Slayer Contracts

• Fixed an issue with Slayer Tower contracts being treated as Wilderness contracts in the selection interface;
• When asking for a new contract and you're on a Slayer Task that they have a contract for, you will now get a prompt asking if you'd like a special contract instead. The contract's kill requirement will match your Slayer tasks amount left;

Miscellaneous

• Added a minimum damage roller based on their maximum damage to GWD1 and GWD2 bosses. Their max hits have not been changed;
• Added the missing Fletcher's outfit to Anne Dimitri's Lost Token shop, and added its item hover description;
• Increased the chance of the 'Rare Drop Table' increasing its internal 'levels' (gem table->Rare table->Super Rare table);
• Kicked Friends Chat members will now be able to re-join the channel after 24 hours instead of being locked out until the next server restart, also added a message with time left when they try to join;
• Added full 'Talk-to' dialogue for the Phoenix Eggling pet;

Fixes

• Fixed the missing Protean Powerup inventory model;
• Only Godwars Dungeon 3 Glacor's will now drop Elder Troves;
• Added the missing "Your ring shines more brightly!" messages when receiving rare drops with the Pontifex rings;
• Re-added the 'Check Potential' inventory option on Bounty Emblems;
• Vis Wax 'add-x' teleport charges option should now, finally, be working correctly;
• Giant Christmas Cracker 'View Rewards' option will now work even if you haven't contributed anything to it;
• Fixed a chance rolling issue that prevented Golden Partyhat shards from being obtained for Artisan, Gatherer and Support skills;
• Added the missing 'Prestige Shop' option to the Prestige NPC Freya Lune on World 2;
• Corrected the Constructor's item ID's in Anne Dimitri's Lost Token shop;
• The Dungeoneering resource dungeon with the Motherlode Maw is once again fully functional;
• Fixed the Crystallise spell not working while active on Fishing spots. Also fixed the rune requirements;
• Moved the Rock-Shell Plate equipment drops from rare to uncommon table in Dagannoth Rex's drop table;
• Platinum Pernix Cowl/Body are now properly recognised as Cosmetic Overrides in the Overrides GUI;
• Fresh Start World Bonus EXP in skills you've capped for the week will no longer get used up;
