Upcoming updates

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

Dungeoneering
There are plans for another set of floors, the Warped floors, to be released at some point in the future, presumably occurring from floor 48 onward. It has been confirmed that floor 60 will be the last floor. As the Occult floors are members only, they will almost certainly be exclusive to members. Additionally, three items, the Eyes of the Warrior, Mage, and Ranger, were withheld from the Occult Floors update, and may be released later.

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. Mod Ash confirmed two requirements for The Ritual of the Mahjarrat quest, which is 83 fletching and 78 woodcutting. This is likely the quest mentioned in the Blog.

Mod Mark has also stated that Ritual of the Mahjarrat will be released 2011, a grandmaster quest finishing the Mysteries of the Mahjarrat series, continuing the Rise of Lucien series.

Also, there will be a grandmaster quest that concludes the Red Axe series.

As mentioned in the Behind the Scenes-October, there will be a Grandmaster quest called The Void Stares Back to conclude the Void Knight series.

Two more quests in the Dwarf storyline
The final quest of the dwarf storyline will be a grandmaster quest, possibly released after Ritual of the Mahjarrat. Mod John A has confirmed the next Dwarf Quest will contain Trolls.

Goldflipper
Another quest in the Penguin series has been confirmed, entitled Goldflipper. on the 26 May 2010 in a jagex video called Inside Jagex - Content Developer Q&A the penguins quest was talked about, while in the seen on one of the screens was artwork of the motherland, with a ship crashed into a iceberg, also seen is a unknown image of what looks to be a monster in the ice, possibly the master of the mother of the motherland, this is all that is known right now. [Confirmed by Mod Nancy at RuneFest2010 that this was some Fanart sent in by a fan.]

The Ritual of the Mahjarrat
This is a planned future Grandmaster quest, and has been confirmed to be the final quest of the Mysteries of the Mahjarrat quest series and will be released 2010, or early 2011. :

Tome Raider
This is the second of the Signature Hero quests mentioned by Mod John A in his development blog, Who are the Signature Heroes? The title and details were revealed in a Live QA with Mods Ash and John A. FangrideQC asks: 1. Can you give us an information regarding the upcoming quest featuring th white knight hero? If possible, a name, and if not, any planned requirements or even a little plot hint would be wonderful. Thanks! Mod John A: 1) Well...I'd like to say something, but I'm not sure how much I ought to say. I won't say anything about the requirements, but the current planned title is 'Tome Raider', and the quest involves breaking the white knight hero out of prison. (QFC: 13-14-820-61340061 page 7)

Dragon defender


Confirmed by Mod Ajd in a comment on Thejagexchannel YouTube channel.

Dragon Kiteshield
FireBoltsTanker - There will be a Dragon Kite added to the game at some point, however we are still waiting for a suitably epic way of adding it to the game.

Confirmed in a comment on Thejagexchannel YouTube channel.

Dragon ore / dragon bar
- Therefore if Dragon ore/bars are introduced into RuneScape, Mod Mark has hinted that the ore might be guarded by some sort of bestiary or boss (possibly a new metal dragon or the dragonkin).

Update existing dungeons
Note that Emilee could mean the Resource dungeons.

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.

Elite Diaries have made an appearance in Behind the Scenes September 2010, and have been released on 7 September 2010. Additionally, a Developer's Blog was posted recently announcing there would eventually be another diary giving out the legwear for the Achievement Diary set, but it is not due anytime soon and no location has been announced.
 * Note: The threads concerning questions and suggestions in relation to the Elite development blog have been deleted. This may indicate that Jagex has 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.

Penguin Hide and Seek
Penguin spawn points and possibly their pattern will be re-done (confirmed by Mod Nancy at RuneFest).

Multi-Core Support
On a thread made by a player concerning Frames Per Second (FPS) and Multi-Core support on the day of release of Z-Buffering, Mod Chris E confirmed it is implemented but disabled.
