It's the age-old conundrum that's been wracking minds throughout Gielinor: would you rather battle one queen black dragon-sized duck or 100 duck-sized queen black dragons?
If you picked the latter (and subsequently guessed that this was all one big metaphor) then you're in luck: it's patch week. Here are some of our highlights:
PvM just got better
The spider minions in the Araxxi fight will now die at the end of her death animation.The right-click options on Barrows brothers spawned by other players have been removed.The click radius on the Gravity Field in the Vorago boss fight has been increased.The Max Guild boss portal has been updated to show all options on one page.A 'Set arrival' option has been added to various bosses for the Max Guild boss portal.A 'Don't ask me again' option has been added when prompted about the 100k coin charge for re-tuning the Max Guild boss portal.Surge and Escape are now usable during the global cooldown period, similar to Bladed Dive outside of PvP areas.Skilling improvements
