It's been one whole year since we released Old School Mobile! To celebrate, we've transformed the fountain at Varrock centre into a giant cake! Make sure to pay it a visit and grab yourself a slice.We've added 13 hotspots scattered across the Wilderness to the Bounty Hunter Beta. One of these will be active at any given time, with its border marked by glowing orbs. Killing your targets within these hotspots will yield much higher rewards than usual. To be eligible, you'll need aand to beof any tier. Bounty Hunters will receive messages when a hotspot is due to change at 10, 5 and 1 minute before.For a normal target kill, you'll receive 3, 4 or 5 BH points depending on your killstreak. If you kill your target while in the hotspot, you'll get triple points. Bounty tasks will also give 30 points instead of the usual 10. This bonus does not apply to the milestone points.If you have a killstreak of 2, killing your target in the hotspot will upgrade their emblem as well as your own. Usually, only your emblem would be upgraded and the target's emblem would be destroyed. While on a killstreak of 3 or more, both you and your opponent's emblems will be upgraded upon a kill in the hotspot.The hotspots will rotate between the following locations:1. Mage Arena and Pirate's Hideout 2. Resource Area and Deserted Keep 3. Rogue's Castle 4. Lava Maze 5. Lava Dragon Isle 6. Annakarl 7. The Forgotten Cemetery 8. Graveyard of Shadows and Ruins 9. Bone Yard 10. Bandit Camp and Ruins 11. Dark Warriors' Fortress 12. Chaos Temple 13. South-eastern WastelandLoot crates have been added to the Emblem Trader's shop. They cost 5 points each and contain a variety of PK-ing supplies and occasionally an Ornate Maul Handle or Mysterious Emblem of any tier.
