This week’s update sees updates to Boss HiScores and the completion of Phosani’s Nightmare competition!

Phosani’s Nightmare

The winners will be announced tomorrow, on Friday March 13th. Keep an eye on your in-game mailbox and social to see if you've won!

In addition, the following content creators have been given prizes to distribute to their audience as they see fit:

Nightmare Loot Table

The horror isn't over yet! Nightmare fans will be pleased to hear that her loot table has been buffed a little this week.

You'll notice that all normal drops now come in greater quantities, which will increase the income from each fight. There is also a greater chance to receive a unique, and the unique drops are now split across two tables. If you are strong enough to be eligible to receive a unique, you'll also get some bones to indicate how well you've done. Probably it's best if you don't ask who they came from.

The tertiary drops, such as the pet, are now static - unless you're the MVP, in which case you'll have a 5% better chance of getting one.

Finally, the rarity scaling has been removed. Now, a 1% chance of a second unique roll will be added for every extra player after five. For example, with 80 players in the group, there will be a 75% chance of a second unique roll.

Boss HiScores



Recently, the Old School RuneScape HiScores have been under immense load, which is causing issues like HiScores failing to update or even open, and extremely long page loading times. This has only been an issue since the introduction of the Boss HiScores, and so we’ve made a small adjustment which we hope will fix the issue.

Previously, when a player who had killcounts but hadn't played since the introduction of Boss HiScores logged out, the system would perform lots of calculations to figure out where they belonged on the HiScore table. From now on, players who fail to reach a minimum killcount value will not be listed on the HiScores, which means that fewer comparisons will be made. This has the dual effect of making HiScores more competitive than ever!

This change should solve the loading issues, although we'll be monitoring the situation and making further changes as necessary.

Pvp Drop Delay

We've heard reports of a consistent issue in PvP where unscrupulous players will drop their valuable items to an alt upon being killed, thereby robbing PK'ers of their reward. To combat this issue, a drop delay of 5 seconds has been added during PvP combat in the Wilderness and on PvP and DMM worlds for items valued at over 30K GP. It will not apply to PvP instances such as Castle Wars.
