look out for the new TzHaar quest – The Brink of Extinction

by Posted on

The Evolution of Combat is finally here, and we couldn’t be more excited about what the future holds. The new system will allow us to make some truly awe-inspiring combat content in the future: look out for the new TzHaar quest – The Brink of Extinction; the Kalphite King; Wilderness Warbands and more, as described in Mod Mark’s recent Behind the Scenes Special Edition.

Naturally, development of the combat system itself will continue, as with any key part of the game. Since the last beta build, we’ve implemented boosts to the effectiveness of stat-boosting prayers and potions, as well as improving your hit chance while fighting against a combat style that you’re weak or neutral against. We won’t stop there, so keep the feedback coming and we’ll keep working to ensure that RuneScape combat is always as deep, rewarding and downright spectacular as it should be.

Above all, enjoy the Evolution of Combat – you’ve earned it!
