Vanquished players will also drop trophy bones, which can be exchanged for death titles and taunts to add insult to your defeated targets’ injury, as well as the permanent ability to gain run energy boosts from using fissures. There are also rogue’s gloves, which – if you’re lucky – can be obtained by looting the ancient remains of long-dead rogue warriors while you’re waiting for a target to be assigned to you. These degradable gloves have good combat stats and grant a bonus to maximum life points when worn, but cannot be used outside of the Crucible and must be repaired before their first use.
So, pick up your weapon of choice and gather your courage, wits and fighting spirit. In the Crucible, it’s kill or be killed – and the stakes have never been higher! Today sees the launch of The Evolution of Combat beta sign-up, giving you the opportunity to be one of the first to try out one of our biggest ever updates! Sign up between the 1st and 19th of June for the chance to help define one of the biggest updates in RuneScape’s history. Check it out here. In recognition of the commitment shown by long-term RuneScape members, anyone with 12 or more consecutive months of membership will have full, unlimited access to the beta from day one!
Sign up is still required to be able to take part in the beta program. If you meet this requirement, you’ll be informed that you’re automatically eligible for full access when you sign up. In addition to this, we will be choosing another 50,000 from the remaining pool of players who apply to take part. To celebrate the beta sign up we’ve launched the Combat HQ: a new area on our website devoted to giving you information about this epic update. Head over to the Combat HQ and you’ll see all the latest news about the Evolution of Combat, and a sneak peak at some of the upcoming changes; this week, you can find out more about new abilities!
