Sarim RSPS patch notes

After seeing how much people have enjoyed the mode, we’ve decided Lucklocked will remain a permanent Sarim game mode. 🔒🍀
That also means we’ve given the mode a pretty big balance/reward pass so it has long-term progression instead of just handing out free boxes everywhere.

⚔️ Lucklocked Reward Changes

• Normal/non-boss monsters no longer randomly print mystery boxes.
• Lucklocked boxes are now primarily earned through actual bossing and content.
• Boss rewards now scale with the difficulty of the boss — Low, Mid, High and Endgame bosses each have increasingly valuable reward pools.
• Higher-end bosses can roll Donator Boxes, Bags, Chests, Advanced Donator rewards and other premium containers.
• The hardest bosses have access to the best Lucklocked reward pools. 👑
• Solo Echo Bosses now support Lucklocked bonus rewards, with stronger Echo encounters receiving better tiers.
• Forsaken Trials now have additional Lucklocked rewards instead of relying only on the normal reward pool.

🏆 New Forsaken / Echo Bonuses

You can now find additional useful rewards such as:

• 🔑 Tier 4 Slayer Keys
• 📜 Perk Point Scrolls
• ⚡ Double XP Scrolls
• 💰 Double Drop Scrolls
• ⚔️ Damage Boost Scrolls
• 🛡️ Damage Reduction Scrolls
• 🎟️ Instance Tokens
• 🏹 Dragon Darts
• 🎁 Lucklocked boxes and other encounter-specific bonuses

⛏️ Lucklocked Skilling Rewards

Lucklocked players can now earn boxes from actively skilling too!
Your chance improves as your actual skill level increases, with level 99 giving the best odds.
There is a 30-second activity check and a 15-minute successful box cooldown, so this rewards people actually playing without turning skilling into an infinite box farm.
Skilling rewards are intentionally more controlled and cannot roll the crazy donor-tier chests/weapon/armour boxes that high-end bosses can.

💎 Donator Benefits

Every Donator rank now gives Lucklocked bonuses, and the benefits scale cumulatively with your rank.
Donator ranks receive:

• 🍀 Increased Lucklocked boss reward chance
• ⛏️ Increased skilling box chance
• 🎁 Better odds of the reward being shifted toward the higher-quality rewards available in that tier

The bonuses scale from roughly +2.5% at the first Donator tier up to +20% at the highest tier, alongside increasingly stronger reward-quality bonuses.

🔒 The Goal Going Forward

Lucklocked is staying as a real permanent account mode, not a temporary loot-fountain mode.
You’ll still get that unique RNG-heavy progression and the excitement of unexpected rewards, but the best loot now comes from bossing, progressing your account, doing Echoes/Forsaken, skilling, and taking on harder content.
Lucklocked isn’t going anywhere. 🍀🔒
Good luck on the rolls. 🎲🔥

Black roots have broken through the paths at home. Beneath them, something has been gathering an army.

The graves are opening. The undead are marching.

Jack the Hollow has come to claim Sarim.

Our month-long Halloween event brings a community invasion, daily activities, collectible pets, seasonal rewards, and exclusive, previously unreleased gear in the Halloween Mystery Box!

⚔️ Defend Sarim

• Fight through three waves of undead before facing Jack the Hollow.
• The event can occur every hour throughout the season.
• Participants earn their own rewards and drop rolls—help fight to earn your share!
• Join the shared boss arena with other players and return while Jack remains alive.
• Earn Hallow Tokens, colored candies, and chances at mystery boxes, $5 bonds, and bundles of ten T4 Slayer Keys.
• Jack also has an exceptionally rare pumpkin pet drop.

🍬 Candy, Cauldrons & Daily Treats

• Find the four Trick-or-Treaters scattered around home.
• Right-click Trick or treat to claim 2–6 candies from each NPC daily.
• Collect all nine candy colors, then use any candy on the Spooky Cauldron.
• Each complete set becomes 15 Hallow Tokens, exchanging all available complete sets at once.
• After exchanging candy, use Rummage for your daily cauldron check-in.
• Build your daily streak for bonus tokens, with small chances at a Spooky Mystery Box or the Spidey dog.
• Eligible bosses across Sarim can also drop Halloween candy during the event. Ordinary monsters do not.

🐾 A Companion for the Season

Start with Spidey dog, feed it Halloween candies, and work toward unlocking Spooky dog.

Once upgraded, you can switch between both appearances. Candy feeding has a daily progression limit, so keep visiting your companion!

🎁 Halloween Rewards

Spooky Mystery Box

Earned through event activities and available in the Hallow Token shop. Rewards include seasonal cosmetics, Halloween masks, $5 bonds, T4 Slayer Keys, and an exceptionally small chance at a Halloween Mystery Box.

Halloween Mystery Box

Available for 3,500 donor points, with rare opportunities to earn one through the event.

Each box grants two independent reward rolls. Cosmetic results award two pieces per roll, while equipment results award one item per roll.

Discover exclusive, previously unreleased rewards including Blood Scythe, and Demonic Masori, alongside other rare prizes. The rare equipment remains rare!

Prefer to choose your rewards? Spend Hallow Tokens directly on individual seasonal cosmetics, masks, and Spooky Mystery Boxes.

🩸 Equipment & Quality Improvements

• Demonic Masori upgraded for its best-in-slot ranged role, with tempering and perk attachment support.
• Blood Scythe strengthened and given the same multi-hit combat behavior as our other custom scythes.
• Halloween rewards added to the drop viewer, with boss-table display fixes.

🔧 Additional Changes

• Removed promotional box rewards from Lucklocked reward rolls.
• Increased Slayer Key chances.
• Disabled Honor Guard encounters inside instances.
• Added Wrath runes to the Chambers of Xeric regular reward pool.

The roots have already reached home.

The first roots appeared beneath the paths at home.

Thin, black tendrils pushing between the stones. By morning, they had thickened—and spread. Now the earth shifts beneath them

Graves long forgotten are breaking open. Fallen warriors rise with rusted blades in their hands, marching toward Sarim in waves. Each time one falls, something deeper beneath the ground seems to stir.

Beyond the roots, a lantern burns in the darkness.

Jack the Hollow is coming.

His undead legion has already found our home. Soon, he intends to claim it.

Gather your allies and Sharpen your blades

🕯️ Halloween is coming to Sarim.

Quick follow-up on tonight’s update:
✅ New game cache has been published
✅ New production client has been uploaded
✅ Maggot King + new reward/item content is included
✅ New RuneLite onboarding system is included
✅ Sarim Hub / teleport updates are included
✅ Additional Lucklocked, perk, combat, and stability fixes are included

We’ve been putting a lot of work into this next update, and it’s finally coming together. Here’s a look at what we’ve been cooking up 👀

⚔️ Maggot King

A new boss, a new arena, and plenty of disgusting things to dodge.

Expect hungry larvae, nasty floor attacks, and a few opportunities to get in close and smack him around. Just don’t let the little ones reach their dinner…

Once he’s down, you’ll have a choice: loot his stomach or take the eggs. Choose wisely. 🥚

🎁 Of course, there’s loot

The Crimson kisten is joining the arsenal with its own special attack, alongside the elder venator fang, Necklace of rupture, and a new pet to chase.

We’ve also added upgrades, fang/tooth exchanges at the ranged shop, Collection Log rewards, and Maggot achievements with Slayer task pick scrolls up for grabs. Your eligible drop-rate bonuses will work here too.

🧭 Steven’s been busy

The Sarim Hub and perks menu have both had a serious makeover. Finding teleports, checking drops, and figuring out what your perks actually do should feel much better.

There are more drop tables to browse, boss pets are easier to find, and Artisan and Apothecary have received some love too.

He’s also been putting a ton of work into Gridmaster and World 2—more on that separately. It isn’t launching with this announcement, but there’s a lot happening behind the scenes. 🧩

🏡 Making Sarim feel like Sarim

You’ll also see more of our custom item names and recolours, along with the Perk Table, Upgrade rack, and Well of Goodwill.

And yes, we’ve been working through the less glamorous stuff:

• Max perk tickets getting stuck during claiming.
• Monkeys being a little too generous with Lucklocked boxes.
• Auto-retaliation interrupting what you were trying to do.
• Lucklocked getting its own identity on the hiscores.
• Masori fortification and other fixes along the way.

🔨 What’s next?

We’re finishing the checks on this update and working on a cleaner account-creation screen. Drakan and Mad Angel are still on the workbench too.

This is a preview—not the “update is live” post just yet. We’ll let you know when it’s ready to go.

Big thanks to Steven, the rest of the team, and everyone who’s been helping us test and catch things. Can’t wait to get this into your hands. 🖤

Cleaned up the Lucklocked reward system and removed several retired/outdated items from its reward pools. These items can no longer be rolled through Lucklocked rewards, keeping the mode’s reward progression cleaner and more consistent.

Another update is now live! This one focuses heavily on giving more of the server its own Sarim identity, cleaning up older content, and adding some useful new functionality.

🐒 MANIACAL MONKEYS

• Maniacal Monkeys can now be entered through their own instanced area.
• Added the required spawns and instance handling.
• Teleport and multi-zone handling have been updated to support the new area properly.

✨ SARIM ITEM REFRESH

A number of older custom items have been renamed and visually reworked to better fit Sarim:

• Dragon Hunter Dark Bow → Dragonbane Bow
• Dragon Slayer Boots → Dragonbane Boots
• Twisted Zaryte Bow → Zaros Twisted Bow
• Harmonised Shadow → Shadow of Harmony
• Osmumten's Scythe → Scythe of Amascut

The old Virelith robe set has also been replaced with the new:

• Umbral Hat
• Umbral Robe Top
• Umbral Robe Bottom

The items received new recolors/visual identities as well.

🏠 HOME IDENTITY CHANGES

We've also started removing more of the leftover old-server identity from home:

• The old Perk Master has been replaced by the new Perk Table
• The old Upgrade Station has been replaced by the Upgrade Rack
• The old Camel Statue has been replaced by the Well of Goodwill

All of the existing functionality is still there — these are proper replacements rather than decorative changes.

🛠️ FIXES & POLISH

• Fixed the broken worn model on the Umbral Robe Bottom
• Fixed Masori fortification so Armadylean Plates are counted and consumed correctly
• Plates carrying item attributes will no longer be incorrectly consumed during fortification
• General cleanup to the new item/object identities and their interactions

As always, if you notice anything strange after the update, drop it in the bug reports channel.

❤️ Sarim Team

Pushed a pretty solid round of fixes and improvements today. A lot of this was cleanup from recent testing, along with some stuff that needed to be finished properly before going live.

What’s included:

• 🍀 More Lucklocked fixes — loot handling, encounters, box behavior, and a bunch of edge-case/stability work
• 🎲 Gambling updates — 55x2 Dice Bag support, Flower Poker improvements, proper seed requirements, and separate gambling lanes so games don’t overlap
• 🪙 Added the new Coin Lottery system
• 🏜️ Gambling area moved to its new location
• 📈 Fixed/restored some Donator Drop Rate behavior
• ⚔️ More combat/hit/projectile stability fixes
• 📦 Fixed some issues involving higher-ID ground items

🏛️ Several Chambers of Xeric fixes

• Tekton’s exit crystal should properly break/unlock now
• Jewelled Crabs hammer crate now works
• Ice Demon kindling is capped at 50
• Perks/noting/extra-log effects can no longer bypass the kindling cap
• CoX kindling and gourd vials are properly removed when leaving the raid

🛠️ Various smaller server-side fixes, safety checks, and cleanup

A lot of this has already been tested in-game, especially the CoX changes, and everything is compiling cleanly.

As always, if you notice something acting weird after the update, please report it with as much detail as possible so we can get on it quickly. ❤️

A new Lucklocked Fortune update is live!

🎲 Persistent Fates

Lucklocked players can now choose one active Fate:

• Fortune's Favor — improves your mystery-box upgrade chance
• Golden Omen — improves Lucky Encounter frequency and Gilded chances
• Loaded Dice — builds PvM Fortune faster and improves Fate Choice rolls

✨ PvM Fortune

Missing a Lucklocked bonus-box roll builds Fortune. Your Fortune meter increases your chance of upgrading a future box reward.

🎁 Lucklocked NPC bonus boxes are now level-scaled, with stronger NPCs giving better overall box opportunities

📜 How to use it

Type ::fortunehunt in-game to open the Luck panel.

Scroll to Persistent Fate, then click the Fate you want active. Your chosen Fate is saved to your account and can be changed from the same panel whenever you want.

Good luck. 🍀

This update is a big one. Along with a large round of boss, raid, combat, progression, and stability fixes, we’re introducing one of our biggest new game-mode additions yet:

🍀 LUCKLOCKED IS HERE

Lucklocked is a new progression style built around chasing luck, building Fortune, and getting rewarded for actually playing across the game.

• Fixed a memory-retention issue during map/region loading
• Improved client stability during teleports and instance transitions

This gives everyone a clean opportunity to rebuild their setup around the new system.

💎 Item Perk Material Refunds

Players with existing Item Perks have also received compensation for the materials used under the previous system.

Refunds include:

• Fractured Essence
• Binding Catalyst
• Refined Essence
• Resonant Catalyst
• Prismatic Essence
• Ascendant Catalyst

✨ And More

This update also includes a large amount of behind-the-scenes work to improve:

• Perk reliability
• Combat perk behavior
• Skilling perk integration
• Item-perk handling
• Server/client synchronization
• Interface responsiveness
• Perk progression tracking
• Future expandability of the system

This has been one of the largest system overhauls we've done for Sarim so far.

This update was forced to be pushed early due to some VPS issues, So Please report any bugs or strange behavior you find with the Player Perks, Workbench, or Upgrade interfaces so we can get them cleaned up quickly.

Thanks for playing Sarim! 💙🐶

We've pushed a new update focused on making PvM drops feel more consistent and rewarding.

💰 NPC & Boss Drop Improvements

• Fixed an issue where some bosses could occasionally drop only their guaranteed loot (such as bones) when their normal loot rolls failed.
• Normal/common loot will now properly fall back instead of leaving you with an essentially empty drop.
• Rare drops still require their actual drop roll — this does not guarantee uniques or rare items.

🍀 Global Drop Rate Buff

We've also adjusted Sarim's global NPC drop rates.

Previously, our older system effectively gave NPC drops a 2x global boost, which was much stronger than intended.

We've brought back a more balanced version:

All NPC drop chances now receive a 1.25x global boost.

Examples:

1/100 → ~1/80

1/500 → ~1/400

1/1,000 → ~1/800

Your existing Drop Rate bonuses still apply on top of this where eligible.

✅ Live Now

The update is deployed and the server is back online.

Good luck on the drops! 🍀

We've pushed an important update to Sarim's drop system.

After reviewing reports of uniques dropping far more frequently than intended, we found several underlying systems that were unintentionally making drops significantly easier than their displayed/configured rates.

What changed:

🔹 NPC & Boss drop rates now properly respect their intended base rates.
🔹 Failed drop rolls can now actually fail instead of always falling back to an item.
🔹 Rare drops that successfully roll are handled properly without being diluted by common drops.
🔹 Barrows and Gauntlet rewards are no longer affected by normal player Drop Rate %.
🔹 Generic Drop Rate % has been removed from raid reward calculations where it wasn't intended to apply.

What has NOT changed:

✅ Your earned Drop Rate % still works on eligible normal NPC/Boss rare drops.
✅ The 95% Drop Rate cap remains.
✅ Donator extra-roll benefits remain completely intact.
✅ Temporary/earned progression bonuses are still valuable.

The goal isn't to make progression miserable — it's to make sure uniques, rares, and boss drops actually have the value and rarity they're supposed to have.

This should also prevent situations where players are hitting several major uniques back-to-back simply because multiple hidden boosts were stacking together.

🟢 The update is live now.

As always, we'll keep an eye on actual drop data and player feedback and make adjustments if anything feels noticeably out of line.

❤️ Thanks for playing Sarim!

The server is back online! This update includes a major overhaul to how Drop Rate bonuses are handled across Sarim.

🎲 Drop Rate Changes

Drop Rate bonuses should now behave much more consistently and predictably.

• Rare drops (1/50 or rarer) now properly benefit from your Drop Rate bonus.
• Common and uncommon drops are unaffected by DR.
• Guaranteed drops are unaffected by DR.
• A +95% Drop Rate bonus now means 1.95x the normal chance of receiving an eligible rare drop.
• Successful rare rolls will no longer be diluted by common drops.

🏆 Content Updated

Drop Rate handling has also been corrected for several major reward systems, including:

• Barrows equipment
• Normal & Corrupted Gauntlet rares
• Nex uniques
• Forsaken Trials purple rewards
• Brimstone Chest rare rewards

📦 Mystery & Donator Boxes

Drop Rate does NOT affect Mystery Boxes, Donator Boxes, Vote Boxes, or similar item-opened boxes.

Their reward rates remain exactly as configured regardless of your character's DR percentage.

📣 Rare Drop Announcements

Rare-drop broadcasts have also been restored so qualifying drops can be announced again even if you've previously obtained that item.

🛠️ Additional Fixes

We've also fixed several underlying loot-table issues to make reward generation more reliable and consistent across the server.

Thanks for your patience during the restart. ❤️

The update is live now — good luck on the drops! 🍀

Echo bosses are being developed as private solo encounters with their own identity, arena flow, and reward rules.

The goal is not to place every variant into one shared room or use a universal reward table. Each boss should feel like a deliberate extension of its normal encounter while still presenting a different challenge.

Private by design

Selecting an Echo boss will create a private instance for that player. This keeps the encounter predictable, prevents interference, and gives mechanics enough room to be tuned around solo play.

Distinct rewards

Echo rewards are intended to be boss-specific. That gives each encounter a reason to exist and avoids a single shared table making every boss feel interchangeable.

Current design rules

• Each Echo boss enters its own private solo instance.
• The arena is based on the boss's established encounter space.
• Each variant receives a separate reward table.
• Echo rewards only roll for positively marked Echo instance bosses.

What comes next

The encounter foundation comes first. Individual mechanics, balancing, access items, visual polish, and final reward values can then be developed without weakening the separation between systems.

Sarim uses two connected perk layers: properties attached to equipment and account-level choices inspired by league-style progression.

The important part is that perks should influence decisions. A useful perk can change the best item for a situation, encourage a new combat pattern, or make a specialized build worth maintaining.

Item perks

Item perks give individual pieces of equipment additional identity. Rather than treating every upgrade as a simple increase in numbers, a perk can reward a specific spell type, resource pattern, defensive choice, or encounter strategy.

League-like account perks

Account perks create a broader progression layer. Players can combine choices that complement their preferred combat style or provide utility outside of combat.

Design priorities

• Perk descriptions must state exactly what the effect does.
• Active choices should be visible and easy to review.
• Perks should not silently share state between players.
• Combat effects must be reliable before balance values are finalized.

Early in-game previews

These short development captures show perk-related combat testing in the live client. Details may continue to change as effects and balance are refined.

Long-term direction

The perk system will continue to grow alongside new encounters. Future additions should support recognizable archetypes while leaving room for unusual combinations discovered by players.

Semi-custom does not mean filling every space with unrelated systems. For Sarim, it means adding original content where it improves progression, choice, or encounter variety.

Players should be able to understand where a system belongs, why it exists, and what they are working toward. Custom content is more valuable when it follows consistent rules.

A readable world

The home island, teleport routes, activities, and upgrade systems should form a clear journey. A new player should not need to decode dozens of disconnected currencies or duplicate menus before finding meaningful content.

Focused additions

• Echo variants extend established bosses with new challenges.
• Item perks create alternative equipment decisions.
• Account perks support long-term build planning.
• Elemental weaknesses reward preparation and spell selection.

Built in layers

Core reliability comes first. Once an activity is safe, isolated, and understandable, visual polish and deeper rewards can be added without creating hidden technical debt.
