Each double shot will now use 55% of the special attack bar, rather than the previous 35%. After months of careful consideration and discussion, we have decided to reduce the effectiveness of the magic shortbow's special attack. This meant we had to increase the effectiveness of certain elements of the game, some of which we now realise were slightly overcompensated for. Changes to the Magic Shortbow When we first launched RuneScape 2, one of our main concerns was to make the game less melee oriented, and to give our players the choice of ranging or maging rather than feeling forced to take the warrior's route. Any would-be thieves might find perfect pickings amongst a rabble like this - but beware, you may find you've got more to deal with than a clip round the ear for your misdemeanor. A new militant group has emerged calling themselves Humans Against Monsters, (aka HAM) and they've taken up residence in one of the ruined buildings near Lumbridge. HAM A growing feeling of resentment has boiled over because the King of Varrock isn't seen to be taking a strong enough stance about the increasing monster population. Crystal equipment now also has 2500 charges before it reverts to its seed. However, every time you go back to her she will reduce the price, but she will not go below 180k for the bow or 150k for the shield. The first time that you take the seed to the elf, she will charge the standard price for either the crystal bow or shield. She will create a new crystal bow or shield from a seed when your existing equipment runs out of charges. Crystal bow changes There is now a third roving elf in the forests of Isafdar. New graphics in the Lumbridge areaYou may have noticed our graphics team have been getting better, and some of our new members' areas are looking really impressive therefore they have decided to spend a bit of time improving the graphics of the area around Lumbridge and Draynor Village to give a better first impression to new players. This won't stop you from being able to hurt people, but it should help prevent those accidents that can happen in the heat of combat. Also, those players with the same cape will have their Attack option moved onto the right-click menu, while everyone else's Attack option will be left-click. When worn, these capes will make anyone else wearing the same cape appear Green on the minimap, and everyone else will appear White. Wilderness capes To help you identify friend and foe, there are now several enterprising merchants spread throughout the wilderness, each selling different Team Capes.
