Time is ticking away on the shores of Anachronia – how’s your expedition going? Here at Rune HQ we’ve been busy hacking our way through your feedback, and our exploration has uncovered some useful changes to Big Game Hunter, auras, and the profound halo. Read on to discover more!
Can you believe that it’s already been two weeks since we landed on the island of Anachronia? Hopefully you’ve all established your base camps and are happily hunting the local dinosaurs to near extinction.
We’ve made over 25 changes and bug fixes to Anachronia this week, but here are a selection of the most important ones:
The majority of the changes we’ve made this week are to Big Game Hunter. We’ve received some good constructive feedback in the last two weeks, and we hope that the new changes will make the content even better than it already is:
Holy moly! The new and improved profound halo, as voted for by you, has been added to the game.
This halo will be accessible for everyone who has completed the ‘How Many Games?’ achievement.
On the back of the aura sale, Solomon has decided to do a bit of reorganizing concerning how particular auras are categorised. We’ve made the following changes:
It’s that time again! Double XP weekend will run from July 26th to July 29th. For those of you who haven’t participated in Double XP weekends before, here’s the scoop: throughout the weekend, members will get 100% extra XP in every skill. Non-members aren’t quite as lucky, but they’ll still get 20% extra XP while skilling.

Guaranteed:
Chance based:
Basic Drop Table: Prismatic small fallen star, Prismatic medium fallen star, Prismatic small lamp, Prismatic medium lamp, Spirit Ruby, Spirit Diamond, Advanced Pulse Core, Spring, Silverhawk down, Medium DG Token Box, Small DG Token Box, Uncut Dragonstone, Large Cash Bag, Medium Cash Bag or Small Cash Bag.
Now that you’ve all had the chance to explore Anachronia, take down its dinosaurs, run around its island-wide agility course and scratch the surface of all the other surprises The Land Out of Time has to offer, we guess it’s time for an Art & Audio Showcase!
Have you ever wondered how our JMods gave life to the dinosaurs you now get to hunt (or flee from, ahem)? Or what were the first ideas that came to mind when creating vile blooms and other parts of the environment of this wonderful island? Or maybe you’re just eager to have a deeper look in the production process our teams go through when creating the content you enjoy every day? Well, now’s the time for that!
LootScape will be enabled (see all details above).
This week, our featured streamer is RS_Nate. Join him for a PvM run on Araxxor, Telos, the Black Stone Dragon, Nex and AoD!
This featured stream is also an opportunity to grab a LootScape! That’s right, you can now receive in-game loot when you watch a RuneScape streamer. It works exactly the same way as our official streams, just watch RS_Nate’s stream on and you’ll receive the LootScape the following day.
LootScape will be enabled (see all details above).
Our resident PvM expert Mod Lee knows no fear and he’s ready to take you all on another round of boss mass. From Vorago to the Kalphite King, the Corporeal Beast, the Angel of Death, if you’ve got a set to complete, an achievement to unlock, or simply want to hang out with friends and slay some, this is the place and time!
LootScape will be enabled (see all details above).
