Invention is back with a bang, and the focus is on skilling. Get out there and discover new ways to augment your fishing and woodcutting tools.

Also this week, get ready for a combat and skilling community event at the entrance of God Wars Dungeon 2. It starts on Thursday so keep your eyes peeled for more details later this week.

As requested by you, it gives us great pleasure to unleash the beast of Invention onto the world of skilling. First up are Fishing and Woodcutting which have freshly received the inventor’s treatment.

From today’s update you can discover blueprints for a new device - the fishing rod-o-matic - as well as how to make tool gizmos. You can also augment your crystal and dragon hatchets and crystal rods. The crystal or dragon hatchets can also be augmented from your tool belt – speak to Doc in the Invention Guild north-east of Falador for more info.

The possibility of adding perks that will aid (or hinder!) your fishing and woodcutting prowess has also been added. How does an augmented tool that can teleport logs directly to your bank sound? What about a fishing rod that also rewards other players stood in your vicinity? It’s all there to be discovered, so get inventing!

Your newly augmented tools will also gain item XP and equipment levels, just as if they were augmented weapons. They also use significantly less charge than your invention weapons.

Today’s update has also allowed for a few wholesale improvements to Invention, including:

Charge drain has been decreased by 10% for everything

Invention XP gained by disassembling and siphoning levelled equipment is now scaled to item tier - you get 15% more XP for tier 90 and 15% less for level 70

A new device - the Augmentation Dissolver - allows you to remove augmentations from equipment

For a full list of Invention updates, as well as all other things included in this update, see the patch notes.

God Wars Dungeon 2 Community Event | Heart of Gielinor: Encampment

With the discovery of the entrance to God Wars Dungeon 2 under the sands of the Kharidian desert, preparations must now be made to take on the bosses within! Ajjat of the Warriors’ Guild is on the scene. Join him from Thursday to train up some fresh-faced recruits (they need more than a few words of encouragement) and to help make preparations for the battles ahead.

There will be plenty of rewards and XP up for grabs, including some really cool things like animations and unique weapons. This event will run similarly to The Lost Sword of Raddallin, with personal and community goals to achieve for even more unlocks! It will be free to take part and you will be given the necessary items each day to participate. Also, Treasure Hunter will be on hand to provide more ways to boost your progress and go for the biggest rewards.

More details will come later this week, so keep an eye on the news!
