Upcoming updates

The following is a list of upcoming updates, derived from official Jagex content:

Smithing

 * Note: Some mining updates have already happened- Dragon pickaxes, Concentrated coal rocks, Concentrated gold rocks, and, for smithing, the update in the success of creating iron bars from iron ore...

Prayer

 * Note: The prayer 'Augury' that is unlocked whilst training the Dungeoneering skill is a magic based prayer, and in a recent FAQ a jagex mod stated that a range prayer is in the works to be released via the dungeoneering rewards.

Several more Grandmaster quests to come

 * One of the Grandmaster quests Jagex said to be released is Nomad's Requiem, which was released on 11 January 2010. However, this is not the level 80 requirements quest, as none of the requirements for Nomad's Requiem are level 80 or above, simply recommended to be that high.

Void Knights quest series
In his Developers' Blog, Mod Moltare outlines an upcoming series about the Void Knights consisting of "three quests and an activity". Mod Moltare mentions that "Summer Knights is more a pun than an indication of the release date!".

Love Story - Wise Old Man storyline
In a Developers Blog, from 12th May, 2010, Mod Ash has confirmed a new quest in the Wise Old Man storyline - Love Story. It has almost finished development, and should be released soon. Also, the Wise Old Man will receive a graphical update when the quest is released. For more details, see the Love Story article.

Goldflipper
Another quest in the Penguin series has been confirmed, entitled Goldflipper. Currently, not much is known about this quest.

The Ritual of the Mahjarrat
This is a planned future quest, and has been confirmed to be the final quest of the Mysteries of the Mahjarrat quest series :

Dragon ore / dragon bar
This may be known as the update towards metal dragons as well, or possibly hinting that you have to take it somehow from Dragonkin (they may still exist)... but who knows?

F2P Item of accomplishment
In a Q&A, a Mod (MMG) stated that instead of making skill capes available for free, that they would be releasing a new free item of accomplishment that Jagex think will be more popular.

Mod Mark: Yes. but far in the future

2010: Year of skill completion

 * Note: This was said in 2009; the 'aimed update until the end of this year' refers thus to 2009 and not to 2010.

More Elite diaries to be created
Jagex asked on the future updates on RSOF for player's suggestions on possible future elite tasks and rewards. As this thread is posted in future updates section (and not suggestions section) and there's a develop blog in the same section created, it is to be assumed there will be more elite diaries in the future.


 * Note: The threads Concerning questions and suggestions in relation to the Elite development blog have been deleted. Indicating that Jagex May Have already decided which suggestions would be suitable for the Elite tasks.

Barbarian Assault, Gnomeball, Trouble brewing and Castlewars Updates

 * Note: the Barbarian Assault update was released on the 19th of January 2010.
 * Note: the Castle wars update was released on the 27th of May 2010.

New F2P magic spells

 * Note: With the Dungeoneering skill, F2P received a Gravite staff, which enhances F2P magic pvp'ing.

Dragon graphical rework
Mod Knox's response to a thread about the new look of the Tutorial dragon.

In the dungeons used for the dungeoneering skill, all dragons have the new look, both chromatic and metal dragons.
