The ninjas have been busy this week adding a ton of patches and tweaks to the game, including improvements to Warbands and the Crystal shapeshifters!

Warbands

Warbands have been updated to re-invigorate the high-risk, high-reward aspect of the D&D. The new patches will mean that:

Supplies will now be converted into non-tradeable versions when exiting the wilderness.

Players may attack others outside of the normal wilderness level restrictions when carrying supplies. Carriers may still counter-attack.

Chat options on Quercus now allow players to toggle whether they receive coins or supplies when killing a victim holding Warband supplies.

Players can now be attacked while looting a Warbands tent.

Crystal Shapeshifters

Shapeshifters have been also had a few tweaks and fixes. Here are some of the changes to crystal shapeshifters:

Players will no longer lose focus in combat when a Crystal Shapeshifter switches combat style.

Crystal Shapeshifters will now retaliate correctly after charging towards a player.

Crystal Shapeshifters have been added to the Slayer Creature kills list in the Beasts tab of the Adventures interface.

There have also been a few other notable changes for players to enjoy:

Players can now consistently use the Quick-travel option on goebies to travel around Mazcab if they have the required reputation.

The Ninjas have updated the Demonic skull so re-entering a runecrafting altar via the abyss will now guarantee the XP bonus, regardless of how quickly the player returned.

Max has been given a makeover care of the Ninjas, spot him running his skilling circuit around Varrock with his new gear.
