Update:Special Attacks
This update was added on 14 June 2004.
Special Attacks
Today we have introduced some special attacks to a variety of members only weapons. The dragon weapons, excalibur, rune throwing axes and magic bows now all have different special attacks. There are many types of special attacks, from temporary boosts in stats, to strikes dealing extra damage. For full details see this page.
In the combat interfaces of these weapons you will now notice a new special attack bar. If you click on the bar, then your character will initiate a special attack and use up some of your special attack power. Different special attacks use up different amounts of power. If you do not have enough power for a special attack, then you can't do it. Your special attack power will slowly restore over time.
Expect more types of special attacks on future weapons.
Mining rocks and thieving from stalls
The new RuneScape launch inadventantly made it harder to gain resources from these in competative situations (where two or more people are trying to get the resource at once), since only one person could ever get the resource at a time. We have now fixed it back to the old behaviour where if both people are successful at the exact same instant, they will both get the resource.
Treasure trail clues
Two more npc types now drop treasure trail clues; happy hunting!
Strange fruit
Strange fruit now heals more run energy than it did previously.
