Upcoming updates

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

Smithing
Note: The mining updates have probably already happened, due to the release of Dragon pickaxes, Concentrated coal rocks and Concentrated gold rocks.

Hiscores
This might refer to the recently released Adventurer's Logs, or the Barbarian Assault statistics.

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.

Unknown underwater location
On 8 November 2009, some players discovered a place next to the God Wars Dungeon, near the Saradomin Encampment. It is unknown from where this place can be visited by a player, but it can be seen from the chamber at Commander Zilyana, requiring 70 Agility and the graphics mode on Standard Detail (setting visible levels: current).

It appears to be a skeleton laying on an altar and bubbles are rising up to the surface. When examining the bubbles, it says: "Precious oxygen...escaping...".

New Armour and weapons
From the January 13, 2010 Postbag From The Hedge:

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.

Barbarian Assault and Gnomeball Updates
Note: the Barbarian Assault update was released on the 19th of January 2010.

Magic Graphics Update
{{cquote2 Mod Mark: Yes, we plan to add particle effects and bloom aspects to spell animations, bringing them up to standard. Our artists mention it weekly! Mod Fetzki: It is a massive task and a unique challenge to get this done to a high standard, in both Standard and High Detail modes. The early prototypes look great, though! {{cite web }}
 * 4 = Mod Mark and Mod Fetzki
 * 1 = Amirul179: Will you update the magic animation to make it more unique and powerful? as the old one doesn't fit RuneScape HD anymore.

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

Fairy graphical rework
Mod Tytn's Development Blog announces with the release of Fairy Tale III that the city of Zanaris will be updated along with the inhabitants, constituting mostly of fairies. In Development Diary released earlier that year, Mod Joe, presents some screenshots of the what Zanaris would look in the near future. Although not confirmed, it is expected that throughout 2010 the third part of Fairy Tale quest series will be released along with Zanaris graphical rework that includes the fairies homes and landscape.
