Patch Week & Pure Resets
We're focusing on bug fixes and other small updates this week, including improvements to Rise of the Six and a batch of tweaks from the Ninja Team.

Pure resets are here, too, letting nostalgia seekers build the focused characters they fondly remember.

Read on for further details, or log into RuneScape now.


Rise of the Six
The following fixes to the Rise of the Six boss battle make it fairer and more fun:

• Players are no longer attributed kills or counted for rewards if they stand between the two entry barriers and do not participate in the fight.
• Karil will no longer start his bombing run while still on his platform, and will no longer run back to his original position if attacked by a familiar.
• The range of Karil’s bombardment attack has been increased.
• The brothers can no longer enrage until Karil has finished his bombing run.
• Undead versions of the brothers will now be hidden underneath alive versions of the brothers if they are stacked.
• The Shadow Realm mechanic has been reworked.

Ninja Updates
The Ninja Team have been hard at working bringing you a big batch of updates, most of which were frequent requests:

• You can now use the RuneScape Authenticator in place of your Bank PIN. To do this, first set up the Authenticator on your account, then select 'Use Authenticator as a Bank PIN' from the Bank PIN Settings interface.
• Cooldown times are now displayed on the action bar. This can be toggled off in the Interface Settings interface.
• Beast-of-burden familiars can now be filled directly from the bank.
• Excalibur swords have been graphically updated, and the enhanced Excalibur is now protected on death.
  
• Gargoyles have been updated with improved graphics and animation fixes.
• The assist cap now resets at midnight UTC each day, and it's possible to continue assisting once the cap has been reached - albeit at no XP gain.
• Bert's sand delivery now resets at midnight UTC.
• Players on your Ignore list can no longer attempt to teleport you.
• The click area on clan avatars has been reduced.
• Chat tabs no longer flash when otherwise-filtered messages come through.
• The camera is better positioned upon entering the Araxxor and Rise of the Six fights.
• The Death interface now displays which items won't be saved in your gravestone.
• You can now click 'Esc' to cancel sending a private message.
• A broadcast is now sent when a player receives a five or ten-year veteran cape.
• The apron undershirt is now coloured black.

Pure Resets
We've brought in some handy functions for those of you looking to reset certain stats to create or maintain pure accounts.

If you've accidentally gained unwanted levels in the above stats, these options allow you to undo that and get your account back as you want it.

Speak to Nastroth near Lumbridge Castle if you're interested in the service. He'll give you two options:

• Reset Constitution and Prayer to level 1: requires level 5 or lower in Attack, Strength, Defence, Ranged, Magic and Summoning.
• Reset Defence to level 1: requires that your combined Attack, Strength, Ranged, Magic and Summoning total at least 10.

When these are done, any completed quests or tasks that require your previous level or always award XP in a reset skill will become uncompleted, and any rewards for completing them will be removed. Exceptions are the superior kyzaj, which will revert to a Bandos hilt, and the Imcando pickaxe, which will revert to a dragon pickaxe.

Note that if you re-complete a quest or task, any XP lamps or Treasure Hunter Keys will not be re-awarded.

Your position on the hiscores will be reset accordingly, although there may be a delay before this happens. The XP loss will also be reflected in your clan, and may result in a reduced hiscore board position for them, too.

Also note that the reset may also affect your hiscore position in otherwise unaffected skills, as you will be moved to the bottom of any cluster of players with the same amount of XP.

For example, if you reset your Defence to level 1 and have 200m XP in Fishing, you will be moved to the lowest hiscore position of players with 200m Fishing XP.

Any unclaimed funds in your Miscellania coffers will be transferred to your money pouch on reset.

Along with the requirements above, you cannot reset your stats if:

• You have already performed your chosen reset for your account.
• You have any items in your worn, backpack or beast-of-burden inventories.
• You have dropped an item or dismissed a familiar in the last three minutes.
• You have an item that would be removed by the reset in a Keepsake box.
• You become eligible for one of the resets after performing the other.

Please note: any changes made through the Pure Reset system are irreversible, and will not be undone by Jagex for any reason.


Enjoy!
You'll find loads more fixes and tweaks in the patch notes, all geared towards making RuneScape slicker and more enjoyable.

Have fun, and look out for Behind the Scenes - October this Friday, for details of a gob-smacking month of content.

Is this good or bad?

I'd be gutted if had a high rank 200m skill.

Probably bad but they've got the decision themselves. Welcome back level 3s

Also is there a way you can stop getting combat xp as in turning the Xp off?

No.

As for Josh's post, I believe it just means if you reset, any 200ms you have go to the bottom of the rank list. Say Amber was rank 321 with 200m cooking, resetting her would put her at 371 or whatever the last 200m rank is. Not a big deal unless you care about ranks.

Yeah but like me, Lilly and Red knew some day that they'd turn back on themselves and we never trained HP/Prayer. Other skiller's had the option to not train and chose to. Think that is what he means lol.

it's not for people who made misclicks... that is your fault jagex doesn't have to do shit. Don't get it twisted.
Reset packages are for people who gained levels because of how the eoc was. The only reason skillers got prayer/hp was because they could and it wouldn't level cb. Pures trained def because you couldn't do anything without it.

Meant what the others said.
If you got accustomed to pray & hp that far you got 200ms, it's your choice if you rather stick with the hard work/money invested and keep higher rankings or give them up for the hype of being levek 3.

So do you get your 200m ranks reset if you reset hp, prayer, or defence? Stee reset and his cons rank is the same.

Your rank only changes as if you got 200m in the skill today. You'd go to the bottom of the 200millers.


At least they are following through on promises made. A step in the right direction for Jagex

So do you get your 200m ranks reset if you reset hp, prayer, or defence? Stee reset and his cons rank is the same.

It is either only Defence that puts you at bottom of 200m list or the team who worked on the resets have no idea how the highscores work and believe due to the fact you get fully removed from highscores that you'd lose your 200m rank which is not the case as once you've got that rank it's yours forever :>

For example if Zarfot gained 5k xp in F2P/Renewed membership (I believe that is the correct amount) he'll regain rank 1 in Prayer.

Same rule applies to those whom got reset for botting, if the stat they had 200m in was reset due to botting if they got 200m xp again, they'd take back the rank they once had.
