Hello Everyone!

Getting Started, I would like to apologize on behalf of the Onyx management team for a delay on this update. These past few weeks we have been very busy with several situations. With that however, we are proud to provide you all with a massive update to make up for the wait. This week’s update features a Halloween Event, a rework of our blood money system and shop, a buff to Galvek’s drop table, PvP and skilling fixes, a long-awaited vote shop, and so much more! Let’s dive right into the patch notes:

 

Onyx Halloween Event:

1. We wish you all a wonderful and safe Halloween, as a way to celebrate this holiday we will be hosting a Halloween event for the coming few weeks.
2. Throughout this event, players hunting undead NPCs such as Zombies, Ghosts, and Skeletons will notice a rework of their drop tables. They now drop cosmetic items ranging from skeleton sets, jackolantern hats, and ghostbuster 500s as well as pumpkins and all XP lamps.
3. Dwarf multi cannons are temporarily disabled when used on undead npcs during this event.

 

Vote Shop:

1. Added a vote shop on Onyx, players can obtain a total of 10 votes per day, 5 per 12 hours, and on top of receiving the usual cash, xp, and drop rate boosts, they will now receive vote tokens. These tokens can be used at the vote shop to buy cosmetics, money, and some highly sought-after medium tier gear!

 

GFX Updates:

1. Updated our client background and icon with a new look, featuring our new logos and custom backgrounds.
2. Forums have been updated to feature our new logo, icon, and wallpapers. These will be updated periodically to keep the theme nice and fresh.

PvP and Wilderness Updates:

1. Fully reworked our blood money shop, let’s just say the old one was a bit messy and not worth the grind. All item prices have been heavily reduced, and some additions have been made. Blood money is now a valuable currency that will prove to be useful to any player.
2. Fixed item values and items lost on death. You will now protect the most valuable items you possess when you are killed in the wilderness. Ex: Protect Dragon Claws over Dharok’s Plate body. This includes Lucky items.
3. Improve the skulling system on Onyx, you will now no longer get skulled if you have auto-retaliate on and a familiar attack, or when you are tele blocked / snared.
4. Blood money now goes directly into the bank upon dropping for Ruby Donators.
5. Wilderness slayer tasks now give the player Blood Money when killing NPCs they are assigned.
6. Added ::wildslayer and Wilderness Slayer to the Wilderness teleport options to teleport directly to the slayer master.
7. ::PK now teleports you to Edgeville instead of clan wars, however you can still use ::Funpk to get to clan wars.
8. Renamed PK Locators to PK Tablets.
9. Removed the PK Tablet warning that a player is coming after you. Be careful out there!
10. Players may now only use pk tabs once every 2 minutes.

12. Galvek’s drop table has been buffed to include some useful supplies that other Wilderness bosses drop, as well as a rare chance at some end level pvp gear.

 

Referral System:

1. Added a Referral System, unique new players who join Onyx now have an option to tell us where they came from. This will grant them rewards and you as well if you let us know!

 

Store Updates:

1. We have decided to host a sale on our store in celebration of Halloween. Featuring discounts and several items.
2. Added H’Ween masks to our store for a limited amount of time.
3. Added a custom designed Halloween Twisted Bow in limited quantities.

6. Equipped light sources such as a bug lantern now count as a source of light in dark areas.
7. Admins can now set your donation total if you have donated on several accounts or through osrs gp.

9. Added the drop rate boosts next to the xp rates for each mode when creating an account for more clarification.
10. Fixed the issue with ::searchitem not showing noted item drops, as well as improved it, allowing it to show amounts of drops as well.
11. Added a general store at ::shops, and allowed ironman to use it for more convenience.

25. The home teleport on the magic tab now opens the lodestone network. Instead of using this to teleport home, the donator zone, or accessing the teleports options, just use ::home, ::dz, and ::tp respectively.
26. You can now eat a baguette.

1. Tyler has been promoted to Server Support.
2. Rawrgasm has been promoted to Server Support.
3. Classed has been promoted to Moderator, unfortunately he's growing up.
