Double XP is coming back to RuneScape. From November 6 to November 16, players get 48 hours of Double XP to use whenever they like within that ten-day window. As with recent events, the timer can be paused, so you can switch to activities where XP isn’t the goal without losing bonus time.
This one matters a little more than usual. Jagex says it will be the final Double XP event before the MTX send-off, so any XP-focused MTX items sitting in your bank are best used now. After Double XP ends, a shorter send-off event will give players one last chance to burn through leftover MTX items they didn’t use during Double XP or for their original purpose. Details on that event will come later.
Plugins batch #2 lands Thursday
The second round of community Plugins is targeted for this Thursday. Four plugins have already passed moderation and are very likely to make it into the Plugin Hub:
- Agility Helper by Pavy
- Entity Highlighter by Friendliness
- True Tile by JosTheFarmer
- Combat Recorder by Rcm37
Several more have finished their first review and only need minor adjustments from their creators before approval. These include Ground Items by Pavy, WikiSync by Jayden, Watchdog, Upkeeps and Museum Quiz, plus a handful of library plugins that other plugins depend on, such as a G.E. price library. Unified Logs, Drop Log and a Farming and Player-Owned Farm timer are still waiting for moderation and may slip to the following batch, tentatively expected on November 19.
Also this week, the replacement for the RuneMetrics web API is due to launch ahead of the old RuneMetrics and Adventurer’s Log API being switched off on November 10. The November Month Ahead post is expected early in the week as well.
Patch notes
This week’s update is mostly fixes:
- Players can now re-enter a Ghrazi Blood Knight instance at the end of the fight, and Lord Ghrazi no longer shuffles into a corner on his knees after being defeated.
- Keybinds work again in the bank deposit box and construction contract interfaces.
- The Constitution skill guide loads all entries, and the H.A.M. members’ skill guide icon is fixed.
- Deathtouched darts now show up under the clean-up filter.
- The Harvest Hollow Portal Nexus override no longer misses grandmaster portal features.
- Unrelated maps are no longer visible inside Innana’s den during Secrets of Amberfell.
- Some environment work in Paddlington, and references to the retired RuneMetrics website extension have been removed from in-game interfaces.
Last week’s hotfixes pointed town criers to Harvest Hollow instead of Burthorpe, restored the guaranteed Pink Hallowe’en Mask after 14 bursting trick or treat bags, and fixed Soul Split not working during the Sanguine phase (phase 5) of the Blood Knights.
For those preparing for the Ghrazi Blood Knights solo encounter, Mod Yuey and PvM player Evil Lucario will take on Rasial, the First Necromancer, on Twitch on November 4 at 17:00 game time. Further out, Mod Ryan confirmed that a new Elvarg model will arrive with the Remastered Journey on December 2.
