This update was added on 23 April 2015.
This week in Old School we've got a nice batch of quality of life updates including a special attack for the crystal halberd, a left-click 'Smith' option on anvils and a small buff to the Bandos godsword special attack. Let's get straight into the details.
Crystal halberd special attack
The crystal halberd, a reward from the hard Western Provinces achievement diary, has now been given a special attack. It has inherited the special attack of the dragon halberd. This special attack consumes 30% special attack energy, hitting enemies larger than 1x1 twice and hitting enemies beside the target.
The addition of this special attack makes the crystal halberd a weapon worthy of its difficulty to attain. Head over to the elder gnome child and get to work on the Western Provinces diaries if you want to get your hands on this, now fittingly strong, weapon.
Alchemy & Drop warnings now use Grand Exchange prices
Warnings when trying to drop items or use high alchemy on valuable items will now appear based on the Grand Exchange value of items rather than the alchemy value. We hope that this will provide more accurate warnings.
Bandos godsword special attack tweak
The Bandos godsword special attack inflicts 21% more damage and drains the opponent's combat stats based on the damage dealt. To give it a small buff, we have reduced the cost of the special attack from 100% to 65%.
The Bandos godsword is useful for killing a number of bosses and this small buff should make it as valuable as a weapon with the name "godsword" should be.
Left-click 'Smith' option on anvils
Blacksmiths of RuneScape, the day has come. No more worrying about the fiddly use of bars on anvils, the left-click 'Smith' option is here!
Fairy rings without a staff
We've added an additional reward to the elite Lumbridge & Draynor achievement diary. Those of you that have been hard at work and have completed it can now use fairy rings without equipping a staff. Those of you that regularly use fairy rings and have completed the diary no longer have to worry about unexpected return trips to the bank after you're all set up.
In other news...
