Oi, is that storm broken yet?! Well, what’s taking you so long?!
Ahem. Sorry, didn’t mean to get so enraged there. In this week’s update: changes to Telos, and the late phase of Breaking the Storm.
Telos Practice ModeWe’ve made a couple of changes to Telos’ practice mode. Most excitingly, you can now set Telos’ enrage to a number of your choice, so if you want to repeatedly die to 4000% you can do so safely. Have fun!
In addition, the chat message which highlights the % enrage Telos will start with now appears in red, so you can more easily tell when you’ve made a terrible mistake.

4th of July CelebrationsOn the 4th of July, independence day gets celebrated in America. To honour this event, we are bringing back Sam and his toy shop. You can find him from the 3rd of July till the 5th of July west of the Cooks' guild in Varrock. During this period there will be balloondrops which can give you some cool rewards, Including, but not limited to Sams hat.
Breaking the Storm: Late PhaseYou’ve all been making excellent progress up at the digsite, and we’re nearly ready to set sail! Before we do, though, there’s just a little bit more work to do.
Phase 3 of Breaking the Storm kicked off on Saturday, June 29th. In this phase, you’ll use Invention or Magic to empower the ship’s wards or tinker with the engine. You’ll find a pair of new workbenches at the shipyard to help you out.
On July 4th, the final phase of Breaking the Storm will begin. You’ll be finishing up some odd jobs around the ship, including sewing the sails (Crafting) and channelling energy into the prow (Divination).
Remember that new phases will not remove previous skills which means that you can do farming, woodcutting, construction, smithing, magic & invention activities now.
How many rewards have you collected so far? All rewards, including the ‘Stormbreaker’ title and the Varrock Agents’ outfit, can be collected by gathering boat materials in the course of the main event.
Don’t forget! While you’re using your skills to collect boat fragments in the event area, you’ll get 10% increased XP. It’s a great time to get those underused skills ship-shape!

Action Bar Dead ClicksWe are aware of an issue where actions are not being performed as they should be when the action bar is used. This is not an issue which has a quick fix, but rest assured, it is a top priority and we are working hard to find a solution.

Patch NotesAs usual, we’ve been hard at work fixing all the tiny things that don’t quite deserve their own section in the newspost. This week, that includes:
The removal of pet clones from Player Owned Housing.

Changed dragonbone platebody from tank to power armour, to match the set of this armour set.

Everyone in a boss instance is now messaged when there's 30/15/5 minutes to go before the instance ends.
There is now a Protection option on the Boss Instance interface that'll allow you to lock your Instance to 'Friends Chat Only'
This means players who join your instance will be prompted to join the Friends Chat you've specified, upon joining they will be forced into turning Lootshare on.
During this time, players who join your instance will not be able to turn Lootshare off or leave your friends chat and must leave your instance if they wish to change those.
If the player joining your instance is unable to join your Friends Chat they will be removed from the instance when they enter
Practice Mode improvements:
If you are in practice mode when you go to climb down and fight Telos it will prompt you with a dialogue box to enter any enrage you like, have fun trying out the 4k enrage!
The chat message which highlights the % Enrage Telos will start with now appears in red.
