The game’s heating up with some major updates, spicy loot changes, and the absolute chaos of the Deadman Allstars Season 2 tournament. From game-breaking tweaks in Tombs of Amascut to player insanity in Corrupted Gauntlet and PvP madness OSRS gold, we’ve got a jam-packed recap.
Jagex Drops the Bomb:Summer Sweep Up Part One
Jagex just dropped a massive blog post titled “Summer Sweep Up Part One:Combat and Loot”. It’s essentially a full-on combat rework in the making, and while the blog is loaded with detail, I’m going to break down the key highlights that are already shaking up the meta.
Elemental Weakness Overhaul
First things first, elemental weaknesses across RuneScape are getting completely reworked. Magic users, rejoice-your elemental spells are finally getting more love. Among the most notable changes:both Jad and Zuk will now be weak to Water. That’s right. The twin flame staff might finally have a chance to shine. This shift could dramatically impact the meta for endgame PvM content, and we might see new speedrun records coming in hot soon.
Loot Table Adjustments-It’s About Time
Jagex is also looking to revive the in-game economy by tweaking loot tables. Items that were once valuable and now nearly worthless-like the Tortol Seed, which dropped from 50k to a sad 6k-are getting drop rate changes to regain their worth. While no exact numbers have been shared yet, this move signals a major step toward making drops meaningful again. Long overdue? Absolutely. But hey, at least it’s finally happening.
Tombs of Amascut (TOA) Rebalancing:From Meme Raid to Meta Raid?
The updates to TOA are extensive and may push it past Barbarian Assault as one of the top-rated RuneScape minigames. Let’s break it down:
Baba Boss Fight Rework
Prayer Protection:Melee prayer now completely negates Baba’s damage, assuming no invocations interfere with prayer mechanics.
Baboons Rework:Fewer baboons spawn, and they now die in a single hit from any combat style.
Debris Damage:If you’re splitting damage, debris now targets your split partner-be strategic.
The Red X Method remains untouched, so fear not speedrunners. These changes aim to make the boss smoother and more enjoyable while preserving high-skill mechanics.
Akkha Gets a Tune-Up
Protection prayers are more effective against Akkha’s damage.
The Stay Vigilant invocation is getting reworked.
Orbs during his enraged phase have been reduced, making the fight less chaotic.
When referencing the enrage phase, Jagex cryptically wrote, “We’re not saying the other thing,” which has fans speculating in the comments.
Kefri Adjustments
Kefri’s changes are more subtle, mainly focusing on reinforcement NPCs and the wave mechanic:
Waves no longer knock players back but instead deal 30% more damage. Less annoying, more deadly.
Fang and Lightbearer Loot Update
While exact numbers are TBD, loot from TOA, specifically the Fang and Lightbearer, is getting adjusted. If you’re farming these, you might want to do it now-nerfs may be around the corner.
Other Boss Tweaks and QoL Changes
Nightmare, Nex, and Huey Codle
These bosses are receiving reworks to make their encounters more fun and accessible. Details are light, but Jagex is clearly listening to feedback.
Inferno Buffs for the Elite
For those with Grandmaster Combat Achievements, you can now show your Zuk helm to the TzHaar to receive on-task damage bonuses-without the other task perks. Expect some Inferno world record attempts to get shattered soon.
Also, Master Combat Achievement players now get a two-minute Theatre of Blood speedrun threshold. Massive W for the high-level community.
Pet Luck and Jealous Partners
Someone managed to grab their dream pet after only 100k xp, but there was a twist-it’s the pet their partner wanted most. “She’s gonna murder me in my sleep,” they joked. Pets in RuneScape really do end relationships.Deadman Mode Allstars Season 2-Blood, Salt, and Crossbows
Curtis and the Battle Cry
Who knew Curtis had it in him? The man absolutely nailed the battle cry, leaving chat stunned.
Bonus Clips-Pain, Clutch, and Roy’s Re-what?
Not everything goes according to plan. Sometimes RuneScape just slaps you in the face.
Final Thoughts
The Summer Sweep Up update is one of the most promising overhauls in recent RuneScape memory. From magic buffs and loot table reworks to meaningful QoL boss tweaks, it’s clear Jagex is actually listening. The TOA changes, in particular, may breathe new life into one of the more divisive raids in the game.
Meanwhile, the Deadman Allstars tournament is pure PvP content gold. Daily highlights buy OSRS gold, competitive drama, and incredible plays make this a can’t-miss season for RuneScape fans.
