A new challenge awaits worthy adventurers at the Champions’ Guild! It doesn’t matter if you have never seen a champion scroll in your life or have defeated all of them already, there will be something for you. The leprechaun champion is taking on all-comers – there’s no need to find a challenge scroll to fight this little pugilist. Just head on over to the Champions’ Guild and prepare yourself for some ‘no items’ fisticuffs.

Also, three new races have just joined the guild. If you prove yourself to be their enemy, one of them might just drop a scroll challenging you to a duel with their champion, so keep an eye out when battling monsters! Meanwhile, Glophren, the gnome champion of champions, is waiting for the worthiest of adventurers so he can finally issue his challenge. Will you be one of them?

What with the days getting shorter and colder, we thought we'd brighten things up with some new hairstyles! The much requested ‘mullet' haircut is now available, as well as a few variants on existing styles. The full list is as follows...

Male hairstyles: Dragon variant, Mohawk shaved, Mullet.

Female hairstyles: Asymmetric fringe, Half-up/half-down, Headband, Page boy.

In other news...

Two worlds have been designated ‘Skill Total’ worlds - that's world 113 (free) and 114 (members). Only players who have a total level of at least 1,000 will be able to log into these worlds. If this proves to be popular, we can always add more worlds.

We've created a handful of item packs for some shops, similar to the box of spirit shards. In certain shops, you can now buy the whole stock of eyes of newt, empty or water-filled vials, raw bird meat, and empty baskets or sacks in one go.

A click-delay issue has been fixed in Castle Wars. The game engine has been modified to adjust the behaviour of these clicks back to their previous speed.

An animation has been added for when players are viewing the world map. Other players will see them in-game looking at a map.

A large number of items with parentheses after their names have had spaces added for consistency and easier searching on the Grand Exchange (e.g. “Agility potion(4)” is now “Agility potion (4)”).

An altar has been added to an upper floor in Falador Castle for players to recharge their Prayer points at.

We've added a confirmation when casting High Alchemy on items with a Grand Exchange value of 500,000gp or higher. This should prevent the accidental alching of those expensive items.

We’ve also converted the Superheat, Enchant lvlx and Plank Make spells to work in a similar fashion to High and Low Level Alchemy spells (i.e. you can now queue up your next cast).

Slayer Masters have now been given a right-click ‘Get-task’ option to speed things up a bit. You can also find out how many more kills you need with a right-click option on enchanted gems, which will even work if you are currently in combat. Finally, gargoyles have a new ‘Smash’ option when they're near death to allow you to more easily finish them off with a rock hammer.

Drop tables for the TzHaar have been significantly reworked and now drop more TokKul than before. This is to make up for the changes in the TzHaar shop prices earlier this year. The TokKul awarded for defeating TzTok-Jad in the Fight Caves has also been doubled.

The fairy ring network has been given an auto-dial feature. You’ll still need to discover each fairy ring destination to put in your log, but once there they can be simply clicked on to input the code for you.

Yanille has had more points of entry added to it in the form of a new ladder and doorway.

This week’s patch notes are also more extensive than usual. To read the complete list, check out this forum thread.

I totally agree with Zebro on this, amazing amount of glitches fixed if you click on the link at the end of the page.

im still waiting for a real update

[Liquid Swords]

Pretty good In other news... today; bunch of small fixes.

[Tay]

It's great to see they are fixing plenty of smaller bugs, but it would be nice for a decent sized update.. Regardless to say though, it's about time that the Champion's Challenges had a bit of an update. I'm pretty sure most people had forgotten about it altogether considering the rarity of the challenge scroll drops.

Mullet?! Jagex has fulfilled by dream of being able to look like Billy Ray Cyrus.

[Goalie]

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but they add new hairstyles every couple of months it seems. They always seem to need more.

Goodbye to all the YouTube fakes of people 'alching' their party hats.

[Nateisonfire]

Not really an update that interests me, but it's cool nonetheless.

I'll probably kill the leprechaun so I can unlock that music track.

[ald]

Decent, I didn't care for the new hair styles but glad people won't accidentally alch their godswords anymore because I have seen it happen a few times.

[Kinny]

Jagex seems to be listening to players with this update. Now it's their turn to come up with something.

[cestal]

A very nice update, all around. I don't know anyone who does evil trees who hasn't wanted to beat the **** out of those leprachauns. New options on looks are always nice, though I don't know as I will really want a mullet.
