Game Updates

Official OSRS update

Halloween Event 2026, TFA Tweaks & More!

Biggest moves since the update

Among items that trade at least 1M GP a day. Prices move for many reasons, so read a move as what happened next, not proof the update caused it.

What changed

The Fractured Archive reduced contribution penalties for individual deaths, which had made cabbage rewards especially easy to receive in larger groups. Team deaths have a larger impact on group unique rates. A bug that left the team's unique chance slightly higher than intended was fixed.

Ascension shards' Grand Exchange buy limit rose from 100 to 30,000. The Jeweller's Chisel can work on shards, while crafting Ascension bolts with a full inventory no longer drops them to the floor.

The Rondache's flat armour and magic resistance now apply after other damage mitigation, including Protection prayers. It is also recognised as a Saradominist item.
