Cant wait to watch the race for Rank 1. Good luck to all competing.

It's going to be a good race for sure. We'll be paying extra attention to the top players in the list, to make sure they are not breaking any rule!

What are you digging the most about Archaeology so far?

5-x

I dig this update.

Hope you all unearth some fun.

Can't login keeps saying to reload page!!

You should be good to go in 5 minutes. not everything might be synced yet.

"DIGGY DIGGY HOLE, DIGGY DIGGY HOLE" i'm too xcited lol

I can neither confirm nor deny that I'm actually listening to this.

Runescape has been updated! Please reload this page (I have)

please try it a few more times, the servers are very busy right now so it might have taken a little longer.

Likewise we are seeing that it hasn't been deployed on some servers, this is being fixed and might take another 20 min or so to be done, our apologises.

Got to the relic power screen from interacting with the monolith, and my game bricked. Cna't intaract, can't chat. Can't exit the screen.

Edit: Reloaded the client and was able to advance. It appears the chronotes weren't initially added to my inventory as I advanced to that point in the tutorial which glitched the game when I tried to interact with the monolith.

Can you ping us your display name? It might be a side effect of your pc trying to load new assets.

Eambo

Not a huge deal but the tutorial said to "left click" the mattock to add it to toolbelt. This wielded it, and tutorial would not continue. Had to right click --> add to toolbelt for it to continue!

This could happen if you decided to buy a mattock beforehand or make one.

Hey. Which type of bolts were you trying to make?

araxxisfang

Now we can finally have a full inventory of skillcapes

This is one of the advantages of the 28th skill that I hadn't thought of yet. :)

Just spotted someone getting the pet LOL

It has now been 1 hour, still can't log in. I understand there's an overhead on updates but 1 hour and still can't log in is insane, unfair to those that are racing. :(

Player numbers are steadily rising, so I've got good hopes you should be able to get in shortly.

Miss_Lioness

u/JagexPoerkie Some rumours going around that Smithing is broken severely, can that be verified and fixed if it is?

they are being investigated right now.

rsplayer123

Can't add an elder rune mattock to my tool belt "you require 90 arch to wield this". WHy isn't this setup the same way as mining where you can put higher level in then it just adjusts down to proper one for your arch level?

I guess you havent had to add a pickaxe to your toolbelt in a while... we changed mining to use the same system with the rework at the start of 2019

Tshcdlllo

are the relics listed on the wiki accurate:?

they should be, We've been working closely with the wiki team to supply them with all the information before hand :)

Just played a bit, and really enjoyed it so far. Really, though, my thanks go to the staff for still releasing such an important update during quarantine here in the UK. My family and I are all in "at-risk" categories of Covid-19, so it's just lovely to see games still being updated so we can still have entertainment for the next few months.

Thank you for this kind message, I've passed it on to the team!

Matt258RS

Ah can't Add Archaeology to the RuneMetrics :(

Hey, are you trying to do this in game or via the website? More info would be helpful :)

KBMonay

I've probably been playing this game longer than half of you mods have been on the team, and it's sad that this is the standard for Jagex. 2+ hours of people being unable to log in, with zero official announcement or timeline for rectification. Do better Jagex team. This is literally how it transpired after every major update you've released as far back as I can remember (believe I started pre-2008). At least give some explanation to the thousands stuck at a blank screen u/JagexJD, u/JagexPoerkie. The issues are not your fault, but not clearing the air and informing your playerbase is.

Hey - apologies, we've been trying to respond where we can; after the initial pressure on the servers it looked like players were increasingly able to get in, so we were holding fire as it looked like things had been solved. We're working on an amendment to the newspost now to reflect players are still experiencing issues.

lordytoo

I still cant log in, its been 5 hours. but I get it. the load is too much. the fact that you guys are working to get an update for us in quarantine means alot. ty everyone at jagex! I hope I can get in to play today.

I'm sorry and I know it's very frustrating but it should be fixing itself as time goes on.

abeiyau1668

just sad. I am not a very senior player, I don't really pay money for a bond. but I do work hard to get a bond and I have used one last fri. and now I cannot log in today. So that means I am losing like 1m of gp. (I only have a few hours to play every day). Not a big sum for you all. But it is for me. and I have been having connection issues often since a few weeks ago with runescape. makes me want to just quit this game.

can you ping me your display name please?

[deleted]

in game it work cel.

Hi both - can you explain what happens when you try to add the skill in RuneMetrics. Does it appear in the list? When you try to add it does nothing appear? Which part of RuneMetrics are you using? :)

Thanks

mulgorath

Client crashed when I ran out of chins, just thought I would let you guys know u/JagexPoerkie

Thank you! Mod Ryan is taking a look now

I'm lost.

I am trying to the Venator Light Crossbow, I have the materials, but don't have any room in inventory once I'm at the restoration station.

Is there a place where I can store all of my third-age iron?

You can put your materials in your material storage and still restore the artefact at the restoration bench (which should give you the inventory space, does that help?

Thatonetyler1

I'm a lower level and fairly new to rs3. Could I still give archeology a try or is it level locked?

You can try it and if your F2P you can go up to lvl 20 (some other skills it's just lvl 5)

I would say that if you're a relatively low level, you couldn't join at a better time because many people want Archaeology Materials so it's a good money maker right now.

CrumpledStar

Loving the skill so far! Does anyone know if any of audio of players recorded at rf made it into the game?

Yes it has, but let me double check with the audio team to confirm it.

magchieler

I now get another login error. It says "game server not responding... Retrying".

About an hour ago I finally managed to login for a few minutes, but now I get this message. Is it client side or server side? :)

Are you still having this error?

Esp724

iOS users are now able to see and interact with Bonds.

Cool; so how long until I can finally play the game on iOS? :p

I've removed that one from our patch notes list, not sure how it made it in there. But yes we did indeed do a hotfix to allow internal testing accounts to see the IOS bonds. Progress towards IoS Mobile is being made!

What happened to lingering death relic? as seen in maikeru's video https://i.imgur.com/pNixft8.png

Not all the Relics from the list shown at runefest made it into the game. Based on the feedback, we've changed, removed and added relics. I assume that Lingering death has been removed.

crkhek56

When will the f2p level cap be increased to 20? I thought they were doing that with the release of Archaeology

The level cap for Archaeology itself has been increased to level 20 as a test. We've not changed the cap for the other FTP skills, nor currently have any plans to do so.

Talkinboutfootball

I am having fun :D

just premade all my mattocks

Nice! That's a great start

APetitePig

Can we get a convenient way to see the level required to complete each collection? Currently it seems the only way to find that out is to manually look each item in the collection up individually and that's a real pain just to see what the best one to complete for assistant/whatever other rank is.

I assume, the wiki will have that information up and running very shortly too, (we've given them all the information to do this, if they want to) I'm not sure where we would have to put that information in the interfaces in-game.

MooseRamProf

I found an inconsistency. The archaeologists tea says 50% xp buff when you examine it and in the shop but it shows (and adds) 25% on the buff bar when in use.

Hey there, this is something we're aware off! To clarify, it does give a 50% XP buff :)

oh my god my first pet at 29 arch, yay

Pretty sure you can only augment a dragon, crystal or space and time mattocks. Not sure about the hero mattock though.

you can also augment the hero mattock!

Pilpoh

What do I do with the extra artifacts if I've already added them to everyone's collection?

Either put them in your bank for once you've finished the collection or donate them to the museum this will give you slightly fewer rewards for it.

joshy9096

u/JagexPoerkie can we get an ETA when the ' Embrace the chaos' but will be fixed the east candle is bugged and not showing the correct option

The correct chants for candles are only a visible option once you have discovered what they are.

talmadge7

are there any differences between wet and dry sieving?

There are no differences between wet and dry screening
