Jagex has launched the RuneScape Platform API, a faster way for community websites, Hiscores tools and Discord bots to get game data. The old RuneMetrics API shuts down on 10 November 2026, so tool makers need to switch over soon.
Jagex’s November Month Ahead for RuneScape covers Plugins, the Ghrazi Blood Knights, the Late Game Rebalance and the final removal of MTX items. It all leads up to the Adventure Guide and Remastered Journey arriving on December 2nd.
RuneScape’s next Double XP event runs from November 6 to 16 and gives players 48 hours of bonus XP to spend across ten days. It is the last Double XP before Jagex’s MTX send-off, and a second batch of Plugins arrives this Thursday.
Jagex has previewed RuneScape’s Late-Game Rebalance, due in late November. It brings much better drop rates across dozens of bosses and Slayer creatures, a Tier 100 Masterwork melee upgrade and stat buffs for classic Slayer weapons.
Jagex is again backing Melvor Idle creator Brendan for Melvor Idle 2: A RuneScape Adventure, an idle RPG with a level 120 cap that enters Early Access on Steam on 17 November 2026.
Jagex has answered the community’s biggest questions about RuneScape Plugins. New plugins will arrive in batches every two weeks starting November 5th, with popular staples like Ground Items and True Tile first in line.
RuneScape’s October patch week brings Havenhythe-themed Player-Owned House furniture, a bank filter for soon-to-be-removed MTX items, Ourania altar changes and a batch of boss fixes. The old RuneMetrics API also gets a firm sunset date of November 10th.
RuneScape’s in-game Plugin Hub is now live for everyone, launching with the five plugins from the Open Beta and opening submissions to community developers.
