This week’s RuneScape update is a patch week, and the headline addition is a second slice of Havenhythe content aimed at your Player-Owned House. Alongside it, Jagex has added a bank filter to help players spot MTX items that are about to be removed or changed, and confirmed when the old RuneMetrics web API will be switched off.
Havenhythe Part II: decorating your house
Players can now unlock a range of Havenhythe furniture for their Player-Owned House, tied to different activities in the region:
- Bogolin totems and lighting: Creekjoints in Linbog hands out blueprints as you complete bogolin totems. There are four totem designs in three sizes, plus mossy skins, bog lights and swamp braziers, all built with new crafting materials from bogolin reward bundles.
- Mushrooms: Sneechbelly, near the Linbog farming patch, sells mycelium for eight mushroom varieties you can grow at home.
- Quest rewards: After finishing Heralds of Crimson, Anya and Inanna will unlock wolf statues and Anya’s chaise longue.
- Achievements: Completing One Ten-Thousandth of a Milly earns a miniature Colossi Statue, and your first forgotten painting unlocks a Havenhythe painting, with more variants as you complete further paintings.
Exalted essence can now be used at the Ourania altar, which has also been moved onto the shared Runecrafting systems. In practice, percentage rune bonuses that used to round down now give a chance at an extra rune instead.
Fenmoor woodcutting gets a handful of tweaks: wood storage rises from 100 to 150, petrified knots can extend the duration of already empowered braziers, and petrified logs, bark and roots can be burned at an empowered brazier. Colossi divination rewards now lean more towards the bat mural, though overall XP and energy per hour stay the same.
On the bossing side, Jagex fixed abilities that scale with NPC health (including bloodlusted flurry, punish, the pernix quiver, ripper demon and the legatus emberstaff) dealing incorrect damage against the Blood Knights, Flesh-hatcher and Twin Furies. Havensilver weapons now apply their bonus against the heart and sanguine tumours, and the Lady Karmini pet is now correctly required for the Insane Final Boss title.
MTX cleanup, API changes and what’s next
As part of the Road to Restoration plan, the Clean Up bank filter now has two new categories: MTX Item Removal for items scheduled to leave RuneScape, and MTX Item Change for items that will be updated or converted. Jagex recommends checking both and using affected items before the changes land.
For community developers, the RuneMetrics and Adventurer’s Log APIs are being replaced by a new, leaner API built with input from teams such as RunePixels and Friendlybot. The RuneMetrics API will be fully sunset on November 10th, and Jagex says it will share full details of the replacement before then, possibly this week.
Other general changes include Demon Flash Mobs now spawning only at six Wilderness locations, the Harvest Hollow Portal Nexus moving to the Grandmaster Portal Nexus, and a fix for Korasi’s sword special attack in Classic Combat Mode.
Looking ahead, Jagex plans to preview its late-game rebalancing towards the end of the week, along with more details on the MTX items being revised. The full patch notes are on the official RuneScape news page.
