Update v0.7.1: richer Mystery Boxes, Grand Exchange fixes and safer money

A round of fixes and improvements on top of v0.7.0.

New content

  • Richer Mystery Boxes: an average box is now worth about 7 million coins (before: about 1 million). The good rewards come much more often, and the boxes now hold noted stacks of rune and dragon armour and weapons, plus gear worth 1 to 7 million such as the Amulet of fury, Berserker ring, Dragonfire shield and gilded armour. Every box also has a small extra chance at a pack of bonds: 2 bonds in 1 box out of 400 and 3 bonds in 1 box out of 850. A box still costs 10,000 Crystals.
  • Collection log: the log is back to the real Old School window. Type ::clog or use the button on the quest tab. Only the slots that really work can be filled.

Changes

  • Grand Exchange: basic gear (bronze up to rune armour and weapons, and the named dragon pieces) is always available from the clerks, together with the everyday staples. The price the clerks sell at can no longer drop below what alchemy would give you, so alching an item you bought is never a free profit.
  • Safer purchases: the first bond purchase of a brand new web account arrives after 24 hours. Refunds and disputed payments are now handled with extra checks so that nobody keeps bonds they got for free.
  • Staff: admins and moderators have clearer limits on what they can do. Nothing changes for players.

Fixes

  • Grand Exchange: Abort now shows the offer as cancelled, Modify offer works, and an item can no longer be offered at a price of 0.
  • More than 50 passages that did nothing now work: 44 Agility shortcuts that only worked one way, 9 trapdoor and ladder pairs, and the Golrie gate, the Priest in Peril doors and the Plague City door.
  • Behind the scenes: the server now keeps better records of what happens in the economy, so cheaters and bugs are easier to find, and backups are checked and copied away from the server.

Keep the notes coming with ::t or the red Report button.
