7/18/2022 - New D&D: Dreamland, setting up GIM competition, and more!
#1
Hey Etherealians,

Sorry for the wait - this was a bit of a passion project of mine and was a lot to work on. We'll have a lot of updates in this one, as well as GIM for the GIM competition starting tomorrow, Tuesday, July 19th at 10:00 AM PST.

Today's update introduces a new Distraction & Diversion that runs every four hours: Dreamland. Players will be notified in advance when the event is going to start, giving 3 minutes for players to gather at the location and enter the portal.

Once inside, players will be greeted with an ethereal-like platform; the book in the middle can be activated when the event is officially started.

What comes next will be a surprise; it's up to the players to play through whatever awaits them!

Rewards from Dreamland include various supplies, herblore secondaries, a new weapon recipe, and a new perk.

Lunar staff (i) 

A new weapon exclusive to obtain from Dreamland, requiring its recipe. It gives decent magic stats, defence, and can autocast spells from both the modern and ancient spellbook. It also has a passive effect that has a 10% chance at nullifying a magic hit.

Nightmare (perk)

A new perk that increases the damage Vengeance can deal by 25%.

You can now trade in Archaic emblems for either guaranteed blood money, or a chance at receive a new Wilderness casket. These caskets range between three tiers, and the chance at getting each depends on the tier of your archaic emblem.

With this, Archaic emblems can now be obtained (or upgraded) from killing players in the wilderness at a low chance; however, killing your bounty target will guarantee an upgrade.

Tool leprechauns now bring up a new interface when you talk to them - letting you teleport to various Farming patches across Ethereal.

Slayer tasks also have had their weights adjusted - it should be more in line with Duradel's task weights on OSRS. Let us know if you see a noticeable change!
