Graphical

- Put the scarecrow graphic back on the leprechaun tool exchange interface.
- Fixed an issue with the penguin suit during a cutscene.

Engine
- Fixed an engine issue that meant the circus distraction and diversion icon didn't move around correctly on the world map.
- Ensured that people on your Friends and Ignore Lists are accurately displayed as being online or not.
- You can now click on the QuickChat icon in the chat box once again.
- Users experiencing high CPU usage since the RuneTek 5 update will hopefully see this has dropped to previous levels.
- We've also fixed a large majority of game crashes that users have been experiencing.
Miscellaneous
- Improved various dragons’ fire-breath code behaviour to match the KBD's existing behaviour. The actual animation has not changed.
- Magic runes have had their Grand Exchange upper price caps increased.
- Fixed the attack range of the NPCs at Ourania Altar. This was a knock-on effect from an engine change last week.
- Moved a tree that was causing render issues in the Tree Gnome Stronghold.
- Adjusted the code for resting due to changes with the previous update.
- Ensured that the skull sceptre parts’ drop rate has increased in the Stronghold of Security.
- You should be able to select the defensive style with a scythe in all circumstances.
- Adjusted pyre log code so you don't use extra doses of sacred oil (‘Sacred oil (2)’ would empty rather than change to ‘Sacred oil (1)’).
