===Mining and Smithing rework===
 
{{Main|/Mining and Smithing rework}}
 
[[Mod Jack]], [[Mod Stu]], [[Mod Tomb]], and [[Mod Shogun]] are working on a complete rework to the [[Mining]] and [[Smithing]] skills. It has been in development since last year.{{CiteGeneral|url = https://www.twitch.tv/runescape/v/113796964|title = 2017 - The Year Ahead|date = 10 January 2017}} The rework will completely change the way that both skills work, introducing stamina, new tiers of ore, and a heat mechanic.
 
 
===Farming===
 
Mod Easty is working on a rewrite of [[Farming]] code in ''RuneScape'', including reworking how [[tick]]s work within the skill. This may allow for new quality of life features such as left-click planting (bypassing interfaces) and the previously scrapped [[Farming timer]] concept to be implemented.{{CiteGeneral|author = Mod Easty|url = https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/7bajdj/osrs_is_getting_a_full_farming_timer_system/dpgwqmf/|date = 7 November 2017|accessdate = 7 November 2017|title = OSRS is getting a full Farming timer system rewrite|archiveurl = http://archive.fo/O1Xld|archivedate = 7 November 2017}}

All of these will be options that players will be able to choose in place of an [[abyssal demon]]s task. The new monsters will each have the same teleporting mechanic as abyssal demons, with the abyssal lord also dealing damage to the player while doing so. As with regular abyssal demons, the effects of [[darklight]] and [[abyssalbane]] ammunition will work against the new monsters.

The abyssal savage will be a harder hitting version of an abyssal demon; though it will attack using [[magic]]. The abyssal savage will have a laser attack which the player must avoid by moving at least one step away from the savage. The abyssal lord will feature the most complex mechanics. Mod Shogun is aiming for them to have 2 special effects. One of these will be that, after the player has dealt a certain amount of damage to the abyssal lord, it can summon high-hitting minions which attack the player. Some of the minions' damage will be negated by [[Protect from Magic]].{{CiteGeneral|url = https://www.twitch.tv/videos/123236510|title = The RuneScape Game Jam!|date = 19 February 2017}}

==Quests and Events==
 
 
===Quest Point Shop===
 
[[Mod Kylar]] is working on the Quest Point Shop.{{CiteForum|author = Mod Kylar|url = http://services.runescape.com/m=forum/forums.ws?16,17,312,66025981|title = Quest Point Shop|forum = Future Game Updates|postdate = 12 July 2018|accessdate = 2018-07-18}} There will be a quest points shop hub near the [[champion's guild]], south-west of [[Varrock]]. The hub will feature an female NPC, named May. The name of the shop will be May's Quest Caravan, deliberately having the same abbreviation as the [[master quest cape]], "MQC". The release has been anounced as September 2018.{{CiteGeneral|url = http://services.runescape.com/m=news/month-ahead---september?jptg=ia&amp;jptv=community_news#_ga=2.83823775.880674217.1536589574-103900680.1535445041|title = Month Ahead - September|date = 31 August 2018}}
 
 
The shop will have 3 different reward tracks. Players will be able to allocate quest points to those reward tracks. Players with a [[quest point cape]] will be able to unlock around 2.5 reward tracks upon release of the shop. Players can change the allocation to another track to gain access to the rewards of that track, but they will lose access to the rewards of the track the quest points were previously allocated to.
 
 
Rewards will include a tribrid weapon, a hybrid quest armour set which references the [[helmet of trials]], and a lorehound pet (for which the player can also unlock the quest armour). The armour set will also aid players who struggle with quest bosses, making the fights easier with each attempt. The armour will only work on quest bosses, excluding the [[Dominion Tower]] quest bosses as the Dominion Tower already provides weapons that can be used within the tower against those bosses. The shop will also include fixed rewards (not part of the reward tracks) which are obtained/unlocked at certain quest point milestones, e.g. helmet of trials, [[Rover the red dragon]], [[Spot the black dragon]], and including some new rewards. The shop will not be a master quest cape requirement nor will it be a [[completionist cape]] requirement.
 
 
Other rewards include the title '[[The Adventurer (title)|the Adventurer]]' and a [[transmogrification]] item used to transmogrify into [[Zanik]], the way she appears in Nomad's Elegy, and [[Jerrod]], in his werewolf form. There will also be a storage box for certain quest items which do not have a reclaim cost.
 
 
===Needle Skips===
 
[[Mod Osborne]] is working on a murder mystery style quest called [[Needle Skips]]. It is aimed for release late 2018.{{CiteGeneral|url = https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/72mlnz/tldw_349_runefest_reveals_qa/|title = TL;DW 349 - Runefest Reveals Q&A|date = 26 September 2017}} {{CiteGeneral|url = https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/950cn0/the_quest_lovers_dilemma/e3plh2x/|title = The Quest lover's dilemma.|date = 6 August 2018}}

Future update
This article contains information about an upcoming update.
It should consist only of facts from official Jagex releases and not speculation or predictions. For further details, see our future content policy.

This page is a list of upcoming RuneScape updates.

Combat

Combat fixes

  • Mod Daze is working on making Telos more accessible for players who are colourblind.[1] Telos' "so much power" queue will correctly clear on phase transition.[2] Telos' anima bar will reset if using Immortality in phase 5.[3] When siphoning from fonts in a Telos fight, Telos will be untargeted so that golems take priority in the render order.[4]
  • Mod Ramen will fix an issue with Nex: Angel of Death becoming aggressive to different players.[5]
  • Raids will receive improvements, such as reasons to do Raids more often; a better grouping system; reducing the amount of players required; improving the jellyfish (e.g. by giving buffs from killing it); and a gold version of the Daredevil title. The title would require the player to complete all Raids feats in one run without dying.[6]
  • Gizmos will be visible on augmented items when examining another player.[7]
  • Clan Wars' rule selection and wars in progress interfaces will be updated.[8]

Abyssal Slayer creatures

Abyssal creatures concept art

Concept art of the Abyssal creatures by Mod NicePants.

Mod Shogun designed 3 new Abyssal Slayer monsters during the Game Jam 2017. They are currently awaiting graphical work and some minor tweaks. They will be Chthonian demons from the Abyss:

  • Abyssal savage (requiring level 95 Slayer to kill)
  • Abyssal beast (requiring level 105 Slayer to kill)
  • Abyssal lord (requiring level 115 Slayer to kill)

All of these will be options that players will be able to choose in place of an abyssal demons task. The new monsters will each have the same teleporting mechanic as abyssal demons, with the abyssal lord also dealing damage to the player while doing so. As with regular abyssal demons, the effects of darklight and abyssalbane ammunition will work against the new monsters.

The abyssal savage will be a harder hitting version of an abyssal demon; though it will attack using magic. The abyssal savage will have a laser attack which the player must avoid by moving at least one step away from the savage. The abyssal lord will feature the most complex mechanics. Mod Shogun is aiming for them to have 2 special effects. One of these will be that, after the player has dealt a certain amount of damage to the abyssal lord, it can summon high-hitting minions which attack the player. Some of the minions' damage will be negated by Protect from Magic.[9]

Other

RuneScape Mobile

Main article: RuneScape Mobile

Mod Pi and several others are working on RuneScape Mobile - an upcoming version of RuneScape and Old School RuneScape announced on 17 July 2017. OSRS Mobile was originally planned for release in Winter 2017, but is currently planned to be released on 30 October 2018.[10] There is currently no planned release date for RuneScape Mobile yet.

Interface scaling

The interface will be made scalable as part of the upcoming Mobile client, and it will work also on the PC client.[11]

Group Ironman

Mod Ramen will work on Group Ironman Mode which will allow linked Ironman players to interact freely with each other and participate in group bosses and Dungeoneering, was announced at RuneFest 2017.[12] Features this may include are a group banking system, leaderboards, and a guild including Mr Ex and other ironman related content.[13] Group ironman is currently on hold since engine work is needed (group banking, other features) and the engine team is completely dedicated to RS Mobile.[14]

The first Developer Blog for the update was posted on 15 June and revealed the following plans for the mode:

  • Players will be able to form groups of 2-5 ironman players. Groups will be classified according to size, with each size having a different chat badge and Ironman Armour icon, and potentially different hiscores.
  • Leaving a group will result in a group ironman account being downgraded to a regular account.
  • If a player leaves a group then the group will be able to recruit a freshly created group ironman account only.[15]

Microtransactions

Live Events Team are currently working on updating Treasure Hunter with the following changes:

  • Re-balancing base reward table to provide more valuable items.
  • Rework hearts of ice to make them more beneficial.
  • Add life cycle system for new and existing Treasure Hunter items to be repeatedly available, and eventually freely available. The current plan is for Treasure Hunter exclusive items to become available through Solomon's General Store or time-limited events after 1 year; available through Thaler/a fragment system similar to elite skilling outfits another year later; and become freely available some time after that.[16][17]

Miscellaneous

The following fixes / tweaks are planned for future updates:

  • Mod Edge has added a better interface for skyboxes and filters. The chosen skybox and filter will persist across log ins. He may also develop customisable skyboxes.[18][19] Mod Edge is also working on improving the beasts interface in legacy mode; the interface will be grey like other legacy interfaces.[20] The follower information interface will be grey in legacy interface mode.[21] Finally, Mod Edge will add an option to sort alphabetically will be added to the emote interface.[22]
  • Mod Osborne and Mod Ramen are working on adding examine texts to The Lost Grove.[23]
  • Mod Mohawk is working on teleporting and creating teleports in Dungeoneering to be taken off the global cooldown.[24]
  • Mod Orion is working on item examines to have Grand Exchange prices and alchemy values added to them.[25]
  • Mod Harrison will add an Agility shortcut to the eastern wall of the first island of The Islands That Once Were Turtles to allow easier access to clue scroll locations.[26]
  • "Buy X" will be added for the Arc reward shops.[27]
  • Summoning stores' interfaces will be graphically updated.[28]
  • More functionality will be added to NXT, such as depth field and volumetric lighting, like the lighting used in Menaphos.[29]
  • The bug report interface's messages about already known bugs will be improved to include more known live issues.[30]
  • Luck items will be made to improve the chance of getting Player-owned farm egg and baby animal drops from monsters.[31]
