Not too impressed by the main update, but the little bits at the bottom seem very useful. These days, unfortunately, I find myself reading the update news for those "Also this week..." bits, as they seem more useful to me. But hey, that is just me!

To be honest, I first read the bottom part as well.

Two worlds have been designated ‘Skill Total’ worlds - that's world 113 (free) and 114 (members). Only players who have a total level of at least 1,000 will be able to log into these worlds. If this proves to be popular, we can always add more worlds.

why not 2000+ ;(

1/5 for being misleading with the twitter hint.

The Twitter hint fits the description of this update perfectly. Its your fault for creating a hype over the hint.

New items? Item fine, items? plural? No. More exclamation marks? We are truly supposed to take something in a riddle literally? Exclamation marks = dungeons on the world map, makes sense and goes with new items and new challenges. New challenges only fits via the scrolls, these are the same old challenges with a little bit of new paint.

And how about that water dungeon leak? That was not there before a few days ago.

I think we were completely in reason to have hyped the update a bit.

They seriously need to recalibrate the drop rates on champion scrolls before they bother making an update associated with it. I'll hold my tongue on the voting until I see if there are any new rewards - but for now I'm really tempted to vote 1 or 2.

What you mean by recalibrate?
They're pretty much random now. And too easy to get in general.

Great idea, needs to be higher.

I like the new champion guy, only because I haven't been able to get a scroll and unlock the song there Now I can get them all
The 1000+ total worlds, as the noob free worlds? I was thinking at least 1800+.......
Not a great update, not a bad update.

[Nibblee]

I look forward to the 'In Other News' section more so than the main updates these days. 5/5 for those - 1/5 for the main part (Haircuts)

Hell guys, the "In Other News" alone makes this update a 4/5. Alchemy warnings, easier vials, newts, and bird meat, right-click slayer assignments, FAIRY RING autodial, AND NO GATE IN THE BLAST FURNACE! The "skilling worlds" have a fairly low level requirement for what they set out to do, but it's a start I suppose.

[Disaster]

Personally not too impressed with the attempt to revive a dead minigame. but the amazing patch notes almost make up for it.

As I said, Victory is Mine isn't unlocked.

[Deffingmage]

The challenge scroll update isn't really much at all, but the "In Other News" is superb. High alch warnings for everything over 500k GE value? That's something many players have been wanting. Falador has long needed an altar, and being able to buy those items in bulk really makes my day.

Finally, gargoyles have a new ‘Smash’ option when they're near death to allow you to more easily finish them off with a rock hammer.

YES. BEST UPDATE.

I'd love to see the reward of the new challenges.

Oh and I hope the '1000 total' worlds are not Jagex's 'Noob-Free Worlds'.

Wow. That alone makes this a great update. I don't really see why so many people voted 1. I mean it's not amazing or anything, but they added a lot of helpful things.

Oh, and I am so totally getting a mullet.

Going to have to give this a .5/5 because only useful thing they brought out was Vials packs and Shard packs other then that what a waste of 2 mins of reading

Bring the new skill out already

Shard packs already existed before this update.

Has anybody found the new shortcut in Shilo Village? I found a large pile of sand that you can "look" at, but nothing happens, and nothing interesting happens when using a spade, or digging with spade beside it :S

The new shortcut is a single stepping stone in the middle of the river, near the fishing spots. It lets you pass to the other side and vice-versa.

Oh and the new champs are for Aberrant Spectres, Banshee, and Mummies. Its in Quickchat under the champions challenge blurb (code E-C-H-2)

Ab specters? Awesome, I can un-perm-block them now... I hate those annoying things, but if there's chance for a scroll it might be worth my while.

It is probably related to the new item packs. I'm at the Oog'log meat store and a pack of 50 noted raw bird meats costs 3150 if the stock (of only 6 at a time) is full, if the stock is 0 it is 4095. I bought the 6 boxes and the 300 resulting birds are worth 79k. Quite a nice little profit. The restock rate is very slow though, so the huge profit might reside in another of the boxes.

-----------------------------

Have you guys heard the new music called "The Duke", unlocked in the Duke's floor in Lumbridge Castle? It is very good, it has instantly become one of my favorite songs in the game.

Before this update, I had to run water-filled vials in Shilo Village, buying 2000 in about 30 minutes...

It had to be done of course, and I am yet again impressed by the "In other News" section of this post! Also, the poor folks who painfully completed the minigame now have an oppurtunity to shine in the crowd, which is fantastic really. I don't think I'll be using the new hairstyles anytime soon, as I am perfectly fine with mine .
