Alright, let's get to the update log!

Upgraded Titanite Tier Weaponry

We know the gap between titanite tier weaponry and scoria weaponry is a bit too big. Often players are stuck for a very long time on that tier. We decided to add a new tier right above titanite weaponry, and under scoria weaponry. A good stop-gap before getting a scoria weaponry.

These weaponry can only be forged, with a 100% success rate (so dw no rng involved). Let's list off the weapons, requirements and effects.

• Upgraded Titanite Sword
  Lvl. 94 attack required, fast attacks, 60% chance to apply an additional hit, dealing 50% less damage.
  
• Upgraded Nebula Staff
  Lvl. 94 magic required, fast attacks, 60% chance to apply an additional hit, dealing 50% less damage
  
• Upgraded Orthite Bow
  Lvl. 94 range required, fast attacks, 60% chance to apply an additional hit, dealing 50% less damage. Allows arrows up to hellside (e)
  

Danzig's Underground

A new hunting grounds area for skilling monsters and bosses. This area is mainly aimed towards newer players, however it does have a new skilling multi-boss which has end-game skilling related drops. We wanted to add a better way for newer players to obtain skilling weaponry, since getting the better skill weaponry wasn't an easy task. Often you'd be using skilling tools. So we've added 4 new skill weaponry under the tier of the current best in-slot skill weaponry. We've also added a lesser tier of skilling monsters, with lesser quantity in drops however they are much easier to kill. Of course they also have some unique drops. There's a lot more to discuss, so let's get started!

Danzig's Underground

Danzig's underground can be accessed via the Trapdoor at the hunting grounds. Players with a completionist cape can teleport to the Evil tree via their cape feature.

• Lesser Skill Monsters
  Once inside the area you'll find lesser skill monsters, similar to the regular skill monsters they can only be attacked by relevant skill weaponry. These skill monsters drop a variety of skilling loot and other goodies. If you've never interacted with skill monsters check out our guide on wiki here: https://exora-rsps.fandom.com/wiki/Danzig%27s_Hunting_Grounds
  • Artifacts
    The lesser skilling monsters drop artifacts up to tier 5. However they have a new artifact which is much more common to obtain. This artifact can be exchanged for 250 artifact points.
• Danzig's Weaponry
  A new beginner tier skill weaponry set. They cannot be used for skilling actions, but rather are only used to attack skill monsters.
  • How to Obtain
    To receive your first danzig weaponry defeat 10 monsters inside the underground. For each 10 kills you'll receive a danzig weaponry up to 40 kills. You'll receive them via Zone Rewards. Since zone rewards are locked by IP, you may also purchase them from Danzig's Shop. 
• Lesser Skill Monster Pets
  We've also added skill pets to the lesser monsters' drop table. Here are the stats:
  
• Evil Tree Multi-Boss
  The Evil Tree is a new multi skilling boss, the first one of many. The boss is mainly targeted towards mid and endgame players. It has lots of mechanics to explore, and rewards. Up to 5 players (highest dps from high to low) may receive drops from evil tree.
  
  
  • Allowed Weaponry
    Any skill weaponry can be used to attack the Evil tree.

That's it for Danzig's Underground and its related changes! Let's get to the rest of the spicy stuff.

Slayer Master: Drazik

It's finally time for a new slayer master, focused on skilling monsters. Drazik is another one of the brothers (durzag, danzig and drazik!). Drazik uses the regular slayer system, so your learned abilities will still work, and you'll still gain slayer points and experience. However there are a couple of twists with Drazik. Let's go ahead and explain everything!

• Location
  Located at the Skillmaster Durzag house. (CTRL + A)
• Assigned Monsters
  Will only assign skill monsters.
• Requirements
  Lvl. 105 slayer
• Base Points on Task Completions
  5 Slayer points
• Streak Bonus Points
  10 Tasks: 30 points, 50 Tasks: 60 Points, 100 Tasks: 120 Points
• Ring of Slaying
  You can teleport to your tasks via the ring of slaying, however you must have Lvl. 70 agility.

Drazik Superiors

Yes, you heard it here first! All skill monsters will now have a superior version. You do not need to unlock anything else if you already have the Superior ability unlocked.

The superior drop table for skill monsters is a little different, however will still drop superior essence. Instead of receiving grand potions, you'll receive new skilling sacks (will be explained later on the log). These sacks provide a small amount of dust, crystallised materials and danzig plates. You can also obtain skilling tools as a drop.

You'll find the superior rates on our wiki here: https://exora-rsps.fandom.com/wiki/Superiors or use the command ::superiors in-game.

Drazik Abilities

We wanted to do something a little different with this slayer master. Slayer abilities will still work with Drazik tasks. However now, you can also make use of Durzag abilities while on Drazik tasks. This means that if you have for example the crystallised material while skilling unlocked, it will now also work while attacking skilling monsters! Let's list out the current durzag abilities that work with Drazik!

• If you have the crystallised ability unlocked from Durzag.
  While on Drazik tasks low chance to obtain crystallised materials.
• If you have the pet enchantment ability unlocked from Durzag.
  While on Drazik tasks low chance to obtain pet enchantments.
• If you have the mad alchemist (supreme overload) ability unlocked from Durzag.
  While on Drazik tasks low chance to obtain supreme overloads.
• If you have the mad alchemist 2 (supreme brew) ability unlocked from Durzag.
  While on Drazik tasks low chance to obtain supreme brew.

Skillmaster Durzag

We know that some skilling materials can be a bit of a pain to obtain (enchanted onyx) and some upgrade materials like the elemental dust when needing a large amount. While that's kind of the point, its a bit too the extreme as of now. So we're alleviating the supply a little bit by introducing new sacks that contain items such as elemental dust, enchanted gems, danzig's plates and more.

Sacks

• Elemental dust sack
  Contains x25 elemental dusts.
• Lava bar sack
  Contains x50 noted lava bars.
• Enchanted Gem sack
  Contains one of each enchanted gem.
• Crystallised sack
  Contains one of each crystallised material.
• Danzig's sack
  Contains x2 danzig's plates.

• Added Lava bar sack for 25 skill points.
• Added Enchanted gem sack for 75 skill points.
• Added skillers' backpack for 600 skill points.

Abilities

  Crystallised sack and Danzig's sack can only be obtained from this ability and Drazik's superiors.
• You no longer need to learn Mad Alchemist 1 to unlock Mad alchemist 2 (supreme brew)
• Lowered the cost of Sorcerer's plunder to 100 points. (Safe cracker 2).
• Adjusted the tooltips for certain Durzag's abilities that mention Drazik's function.

Pet Enchantments

We're making some adjustments to pet enchantments. Making them more usable, and changing their effects. and we've added a new pet enchantment.

Additions

• Enchantment of Hellside
  Lvl. 36: Increases superior spawn rate by +5% inside the hellside rift dungeon. This also works for Akdall the forsaken.
  • How to obtain
    Dropped by superior hellside monsters and Superior Akdall. Akdall having the slightly higher drop rate.

Changes

• Removed the pet enchantment effect of 'increased basic attack damage against x monster/boss'
• Added a new effect for these types of enchantments
  
  • They will now all give +20% increased special damage against x monster or boss. (Yes this includes king's enchantment).

Skill Pet Enchantments

Some players cannot make much use out of skill pet enchantments due to the level requirement, so we're removing most of the requirements from these enchantments, and setting them to level 1.

• Lowered the level requirement of all basic pet enchantments to 1
  The following enchantments are affected: Ores, Logs, Gems, Fishing, Cooking, Hunter, Potions, Smelting.

Elemental Star

Temporarily reduced the time for Elemental Star to spawn from 1:30hrs to 1 hour.

Slayer & Boss Instances

• Boss instances will now always persist like slayer monster instances.
• Slayer monster instances spawn point moved closer to the center, their distance is scaled based on the monster size.
• Top right "Kills left" interface used on boss instances, will now be used for slayer instances.
• You should no longer be in an empty void when you log out in an instance.

World Boss Changes

• World boss drops will now go under the world boss by default, rather than under the player. Since dropping the loot under the player can be quite confusing for newer players, and mainly for consistency sake. If you do not like it dropping under the boss, then simply toggle it in player settings. You're not bound to either.
• Increased the drop rate of the rare and very rare drop table on all world bosses. Giant orc receiving the highest buff.
• Giant orc will now give you either 25% increased XP or 1% increased drop rate upon defeating him.
