Greetings! We've got a fair few nips and tucks to discuss this week, including improvements to spell book swapping, and a much-requested change to transmogrification. But before we get onto that, news of a slight delay.

Firemaking Update Delayed
We want to bring you only the best updates, and unfortunately that sometimes means taking a little more time to get everything working properly. The Firemaking update that was due to be released this week has been delayed slightly, and will now be released alongside the PvM revitalisation next week.

Check out our month ahead for a reminder on what’s coming up in the Firemaking update.

Spellbook Swap
We’ve also made changes to spellbook swapping. New spells have been added to both the Ancient and Lunar spellbooks that facilitate direct swapping to a different spellbook. The new spells have new icons to differentiate them from the existing spellbook swap spell. You will still need the required amount of runes to swap spellbooks.

Transmogrification Unification
Try saying that five times quickly! You might have noticed something new about your emotes tab - that's right, there's a brand new tab for transmogrification items! For a long time now players have been asking us to streamline the transmogrification process. Although the transmogrification unification update went live last week, we neglected to mention it in the weekly post. Sorry!

For more info on what exactly transmogrification unification entails, take a look at the month ahead.

Patch Notes
Here are a few highlights and other improvements for this week:

The reward shop benefit with the Gorajan Trailblazer Outfit no longer requires you to wear the outfit to get the reward shop discounts/skip floors provided you own the outfit.
The Grace of the Elves will now show a debuff when deactivated and the buff when active to help distinguish which state it is in.
You can take a closer look at the changes we’ve made this week and review the documentation for the latest update here.


Achievements/Tasks

The Lumbridge Strikes Back achievement can now be completed correctly.

It is once again possible to complete the "Pot Stop" achievement from the Varrock easy tasks.

It is once again possible to complete the "Staff on Stryke" achievement from the Desert elite tasks.


Bosses

Voice Over has been added to The Magister boss fight.

The barrier into the Crassian Leviathan fight will no longer re-open during the fight.


Bounty Hunter removal (post-release)

The revenant spirit pet item now appears with a loot beam when dropped.

Mandrith's location has been added to the Slayer skillcape's teleport options.

Magical threads are earned less frequently when crafting fewer runes in an interaction. (Hotfixed last week)

A message warning you that Mandrith slayer tasks aren't being counted outside of wilderness now only appears when fighting that specific task's creature. (Hotfixed last week)

It's not longer possible to get a social slayer task from Mandrith if your partner doesn't meet his combat requirements.

Adrenaline crystals dropped from the wilderness rare loot table are now noted.

Updated where messaging appears when failing to earn points for bounty emblem upgrades.


Chat

Corrected the flag shown on the friends, friends chat and clan chat interfaces on non-English worlds.

Squoggoth's chat head had issues with looking too dark in certain graphics settings - this has been resolved.

Corrected a typo in thief guild Robins chat.


Combat

Added a missing apostrophe in concentrated blast's description.

Added new spells to both Lunar and Ancient spellbooks to allow direct casting to a spellbook, e.g. 'Spellbook Swap (Standard)'. The existing Spellbook Swap spell has not been removed.

Spellbook Swap can now be used off GCD from the action bar.

Supreme potions have had their tooltip updated to correctly display the boost received when consumed.

Black stone arrows are now consumed as expected within the Tirannwn quiver.

Black stone arrows will now correctly deplete in PvP


Grand Exchange

The Iron figure object is no longer available on the Grand Exchange.


Mobile

A client error when opening the quest accept/decline screen on the Mobile client has been fixed.

We've added an option from the minimenu to completely close the minigames interface from the ribbon. This will only work for non area related minigames interfaces (such as the Dungeoneering party interface).

Operating the Ring of Kinship to start a Dungeoneering party will now correctly open the minigames interface (rather than just populating it on to the ribbon).

Removed some PC terminology in favour of something more generic in the authenticator input box on the login screen.


Minigames

A couple of typos in the Void Knights Commendation Rewards shop have been corrected.


Other

We've added an option in the UI Customisation section of the General Gameplay settings that will allow the user to toggle the display of the Summoning Globe between Summoning points and Familiar special points.

The Huge Urn option on the Ring of Urns has now returned from its Holiday and is now taking its rightful place as a transmog option.

The Ring of Trees and Ring of Coins can now be accessed by the Transmogrification interface if they have been added to your PoH storage.

Fixed an issue where some tall and narrow windowed mode layouts could cause issues with the bank and the interface overlapping in legacy mode when the window was resized.


Player Owned Ports

Removed duplicate buying options from PoP traders.


Quests

The ransom note in the Stolen Hearts quest will no longer appear in the area loot interface, as it cannot be picked up in this way.

Lumbridge Catacomb statuettes will no longer reference Xenia after her demise.

A reference to iron in regards to the mine in Rimmington within the Animal Magnetism quest has been changed due the mine no longer containing iron rocks.

Corrected a typo with the vial of orange mist's destroy message in Dimension of Disaster.

Gertrude's chat tree has been rewritten to centralise the flow of dialogue.


Skilling

The Grace of the Elves will now show a debuff when deactivated and the buff when active to help distinguish which state it is in.

Assisting a player with Crafting certain items will now correctly give the experience gained to the player assisting, rather than the player receiving the assist.

Players are no longer spammed with a warning message if they have boosted their Smithing level to start a project they no longer meet the requirements for.

A full stamina bar is no longer displayed (if enabled) above the player's head when they start to mine a node which does not deplete stamina (such as crablets and sandstone).

Attempting to cast an alchemy spell on an unfinished smithing item will now return the correct message rather than the prior message which was inaccurate.

Added missing smithing sounds to the anvils in Dungeoneering.

Uncut Onyxes are no longer obtainable from mining Prifddinas Gem Rocks (Hotfixed last week)

The reward shop benefit with the Gorajan Trailblazer Outfit no longer requires you to wear the outfit to get the reward shop discounts/skip floors provided you own the outfit.

Sorta kinda excited for that aura sale. Got over 200k in points that I've been holding onto for something like this. :P

That spellbook swap was a long-time coming. Still will likely just be using the Magic cape to swap spellbooks for free.
Usually only swap it for Slay tasks and Farming, both of which I'm at a bank beforehand anyways :D
