This update post was previously posted on GamesLabs.net.

Welcome everyone to our week 6 Patch!
This update has been created to fix most of the known bugs, improve the network's overall performance and bring new content to Minescape.

Zombies & Minigames

Zombies and minigames were having issues due to a misconfiguration. You can now play these games with no lag!

  • Taverley
    Tired of running to the next town over just to buy your next loot crate or start your next job? Worry no more! Candy Shop, Jobs, and Server EXP Potions NPCs have been added to Taverley!
  • Thieving
    Did you notice anything missing before? Beekeepers have now moved in to the bee farm in Seers’ Village as thievable mobs! Burgh De Rott is home to some interesting characters you can steal from as well.

  • Grand Exchange Inbox
    Awesome, my offer completed, too bad I have to run all the way to the Grand Exchange to check my inbox. How many gold pieces were in my inbox again? Don’t worry about that anymore! We’ve trained the bankers to have your inbox ready for you at any bank! Also, you can now shift click items in your inbox to take all!

  • Auto Gathering
    We’ve heard you! Holding down the right or left mouse button is a pain when you’re grinding out those gathering skills. If you’re at least 20 levels above the required level to gather an item, you can once again hover over the next flower, crop, or ore to automatically begin gathering once you’ve completed your current target!
  • Bone Burying
    How much are you charging just to burn a fire?! Get out of here! We turned off the ability to burn bones on other players’ fires. Firemakers, fire up the Incinerator! It’s time to make some ashes!
  • Drop Table
    Where can I find out how many times I’ve bugged killed the Giant Mole? Well, we’ve revamped the Drop Table in your inventory to not only tell you how many mobs you’ve killed, but all the mobs are in alphabetical order!

  • Achievements
    You are now level 99 in fishing! Level achievements for certain level milestones and epic loots are now broadcasted to your world. You can’t keep those sweet gains a secret anymore!
  • Resource gathering whilst in combat
    Wait, that’s illegal! Turns out gathering while still being able to attack mobs is a little overpowered. We’ve made it so you can no longer stuff your pockets while in combat!
  • Target Practice HP
    Wow, that dummy sure is strong! The Target Dummy in the Ranged Guild has been rebuilt with weaker materials and now has reduced hit points.
  • Mining guild deposit box
    “Please add a deposit box to the mining guild?” “Where is the deposit box..” “Can you add a deposit box to the mining guild?!!” Well, well, well… There it is:

  • Effects
    We’ve added a way for you to access all your buffers at once! Use /effects in game!
    /effects
  • Rune plate armor pieces
    We added more rune plate armors to the drop table!
  • Green dragons
    Slayer Green Dragons have been renamed to Brutal Green Dragons. We’ve added Green dragons as a non-slayer monster in the wilderness!
  • Slayer shop rune prices
    We increased the price of death and chaos runes in the slayer shop to make Runecrafting more profitable.
  • Burning Food
    Oops.. I did what to my food? I roasted it?! We’ve changed the text for burning food to be a bit more accurate.
  • Crafting tip
    "Use better log to craft more arrows" has been added as a crafting tool-tip for starters.
