The following small fixes and adjustments have now been made to the game. If you have any feedback about how this is presented, formatted, etc., please let us know so that we can improve this new feature. Torch flames were appearing in the floor above in a few locations. Fixed render issues with the Pendant of Armadyl and the Varrock achievement reward armour. You will no longer have to fight more than one earth elemental at once.
