Featured Pink Skirts Event
Phew, it’s hot out there! Especially with all this elite armour on. Oh, you haven’t heard? We’re all able to afford Tier 92 armour now, because our Ninja Team has been working on an exciting new repair system - with help from honorary Ninjas Mod Orion and Mod Camel. More on that shortly, plus news on the July 4th event, a mobile update, and the Solomon’s General Store Summer Sale!

Ninja Strike 7: Tier 92 Armour
The main focus of Ninja Strike 7 is Tier 92 armour, but as you’ll soon hear, they’ve been busy all over the game! Let’s see what they’ve been up to.

Tier 92 Elite Armour Repair
Tier 92 Armour is the best armour in RuneScape, but most players have had to settle for lesser alternatives because it’s too expensive to fix.

We think you deserve the best, so Tier 92 Elite Armours can now be repaired more effectively. From now on you’ll be able to create a ‘repair patch’ that will repair Tier 92 Sirenic and Tectonic armours at a reasonable cost.

Tradeable Super Prayer Potions
Repair patches aren’t the only way the Ninja Team are saving you money this week – they’ve also made it possible to buy and sell Super Prayer potions on the Grand Exchange. No more wasting time and resources to mix them up yourself!

All 1-4 dose vials and 6-dose flasks can now be traded freely on the Grand Exchange. And because they’re tradeable, you can also ask other players to make them for you – or offer your own potion-mixing services.

New Potion Decanting Interface
On the subject of potions, those of you who’ve visited War’s Retreat will know that the big man is something of a mixologist, with his own Potion Decanting interface that’s a bit more intuitive than the usual one.

The Ninja Team have persuaded him to share it with potion decanting NPCs all over the game, making the whole process quicker and easier.

Wicked Hood Update
Lastly, the Ninja Team have turned their attention to the Wicked Hood and its Runecrafting capabilities. Previously, it was quite complex to use, with a limit on teleports and confusing option names. In this update, that’s all been made simpler.

You can now withdraw runes faster and make multiple sets of runes at once. There’s also a handy new ‘Configure’ option, which will help you manage your runes better. Oh, and we’ve boosted the teleport cap, just to make things fair.

Don’t worry too much about crowding the essence mines after this update – we’re sure there’s ‘rune’ for everyone.

See the full Ninja Strike in all of its glory over on this week's Patch Notes post.

July 4th Event
Happy Fourth of July to our friends across the pond! This year, we’re bringing the celebration to Gielinor – so head to the area west of the Cooks’ Guild in Varrock, because it’s time to party! The balloons will be popping, the prizes will be dropping, and your old friend Sam will be there to serve up the Liber-Tea.

The Fourth of July event will run from July 3rd to July 5th.

Patch Notes
The Ninjas aren’t the only ones who’ve been busy this week! Take a look at the Patch Note highlights:

The Grand Exchange buy limits for all Archaeology materials have increased from 1,000 to 5,000.
All Ancient Familiar pouches will now convert into 20 scrolls each, up from 10. All Summoning XP gained per Ancient Familiar special attack cast has been halved, as you now receive twice the amount of scrolls.
Augmented Masterwork armour and Augmented Trimmed Masterwork armour will now drop the corresponding broken piece of armour on death in the Wilderness.
You can find more Patch Notes for this week’s update in the dedicated post here.

Ninja Strike #7 - Tier 92 Armour
Cheaper armour repairs? Easier upgrades? The Ninjas have really gone to town this week!

Tier 92 Elite Sirenic & Tectonic Armour
Tier 92 Elite Armours can now be repaired at much cheaper rates.

Players can now create a 'Repair Patch' that will partially repair their T92 Sirenic and Tectonic armours.
The following materials are required for an Elite Sirenic repair patch:
7x ancient scales
1x sirenic scale
2x winterwold wool
2x black stone hearts
The following materials are required for an Elite Tectonic repair patch:
7x draconic energy
1x tectonic energy
2x summerdown wool
2x black stone hearts
Fully repairing armour will require:
2x repair patches for a helm
6x repair patches for a body
4x repair patches for legs
Additionally, if an armour piece is augmented, each repair patch will require 6x divine charges.
Following the repair changes, the creation of T92 Elite armours now includes new 'praesulic essences' similar to those required for Masterwork armour.
Praesulic essence has been split into praesulic essence (melee), praesulic essence (ranged) and praesulic essence (magic).
10x praesulic essence (ranged) will be required for a full set of Elite Sirenic.
10x praesulic essence (magic) will be required for a full set of Elite Tectonic.
These praesulic essences can be acquired by breaking down Pernix, Virtus and Torva gear at the Dragonkin Forge for Ranged, Magic and Melee essence respectively.
It's now possible to upgrade augmented T90 Sirenic and Tectonic armour to T92 as long as they are at 95% degradation or above. This includes dyed armour.
To upgrade augmented armours, right-click/long-press on ancient scales or draconic energy and 'use' them on the armours.
Degrade-to-dust armours (T90 & T92) will now drop the correct amount of their primary ingredient, relative to charge remaining, when you are killed in the Wilderness.
A tooltip has been added to the Elite Armours explaining their set effect, which negates degradation in Elite Dungeons.
When repairing armours, the degradation state is now shown at two decimal places for accuracy.
Messaging when attempting to use an Augmentor on degrade-to-dust armours is now more descriptive.
Using a repair patch on fully-charged, but previously worn, T92 armour pieces can 'overcharge' them back to a new tradeable state.
When making T90 and T92 Ranged or Magic armour, the Make-x screen will now default to a quantity of one, to avoid accidentally making too many copies of one equipment piece.
Fixed various inconsistencies with using T90/92 ingredients on each other. All of them should now prompt a Make-x interface if they are used to create the same item.
Grand Exchange - Further Improvements
Un-favouriting a favourite item in the Grand Exchange interface will no longer completely hide the Favourites interface.
In the Grand Exchange interface, the 'buy' and 'sell' text will no longer show on slots on that are unavailable in free-to-play.
Tooltips will once again be shown for the elements on the Collection Box interface.
A '+Lim' button has been added to the quantity section of buy offers on the Grand Exchange. Each press of this button will add the 4-hour limit quantity to the current offer quantity.
Players will no longer encounter mysterious Dwarf Remains when collecting items and placing further buy offers in the Grand Exchange.
Other Improvements
The Wicked Hood has had several improvements that also affect the Ethereal outfit.
The amount of teleport charges has been increased from 30 to 250.
The first option on the Wicked Hood can now be configured so to either 'Activate' or 'Previous teleport', which allows for teleportation via the Action Bar.
The 'Previous teleport' option now states which altar you'll be taken to.
Withdrawing essences is now faster.
Withdrawing runes now prompts the player with an input box where they can use all their charges at once.
Info-boxes have been added in various places for better and more descriptive messaging.
The Runecrafting Guild teleport is now more appropriately named.
All Skillcapes, Master Skillcapes, and Expert Capes now have a right-click/long press 'Emote' option when the item is worn. This includes the Max Cape but not the Completionist Capes due to lack of space for menu options.
Super Prayer potions are now tradeable.
1 to 4 dose vials and 6 dose flasks can now be traded on the Grand Exchange.
Players can also request-assist to create them.
The Skeletal Horror teleport can now be used an unlimited number of times, instead of just weekly.
Buff and Debuff Bar icons now have less of a delay in showing their tooltips.

Other
It's not just the Ninja Team who've been keeping busy this week...

Sign in with Apple is now supported on iOS devices. As this is separate from GameCenter login, using this will create a new account by default.
All Ancient Familiar pouches will now convert into 20 scrolls each, up from 10.
All Summoning XP gained per Ancient Familiar special attack cast has been halved, as you now receive twice the amount of scrolls.
The Grand Exchange buy limits for all Archaeology materials have increased from 1,000 to 5,000.
Augmented Masterwork armour and Augmented Trimmed Masterwork armour will now drop the corresponding broken piece of armour upon death in the Wilderness instead of dropping nothing.
Luminite Injectors cannot be dropped and must be destroyed.

Fixes
The heatwave continues around Jagex HQ - ideal weather for bug catching!

Hotfixed: The rather excessive amount of 50% progress reduction messages has been removed from Yak Track and should now only show when you start one of the first 10 tasks.
Fixed various Yak Track tasks.
Yak Track Task 38 option A can now be correctly incremented when Thieving.
Re-added a square of blocking back to Challenge Mistress Fara's platform.
Fixed an issue where rotating the camera with 'High' lighting quality would cause the game to flicker on iOS.
Fixed an issue which caused some players to animate incorrectly when walking/running.
