New update: Lodestones

[Revolight]

Lodestone Network (free and members):

Ancient lodestones have been uncovered at various locations around RuneScape. If you use your Home Teleport spell when you first log in, you will find that you can freely teleport to the following:

Lumbridge
Burthorpe (members only)
Ancient Magicks spellbook location (if you have completed Desert Treasure)
Lunar Magic spellbook location (if you have completed Lunar Diplomacy)
Find and activate more lodestones about RuneScape, and you will be able to unlock them as Home Teleport options. The locations are:


Al Kharid
Ardougne (m)
Catherby (m)
Draynor Village
Edgeville
Falador
Port Sarim
Seers’ Village (m)
Taverley (m)
Varrock
Yanille (m)
Locations marked with an (m) are members only.

A Home Teleport to a lodestone has the same restrictions as the previous Home Teleport: it is comparatively slow to cast, can be interrupted by combat, and cannot be used beyond level 20 Wilderness. The Home Teleport spell can be accessed via any spellbook, allowing you to freely teleport to lodestones using the Ancient Magicks and Lunar spellbook.

Lodestones have been placed a small distance from town centres, to ensure that current teleport methods are still a more efficient (and much faster to cast) option in most situations. This has not stopped us from tweaking existing teleport items, however, to make their teleport locations more convenient. Changes to teleport items include:

Camulet/Cramulet – teleports outside Enakhra’s Temple, closer to the granite quarry[Combat bracelet – teleports slightly closer to the Warriors’ Guild and Champions’ Guild
Necklace of skills – teleports slightly closer to the Fishing Guild, Cooks’ Guild and Crafting Guild
Games necklace – teleports near to Captain Jute of the Troll Invasion
Finally, we've updated the appearance of many of the signposts that show the way around Gielinor, adding clearly visible logos to each and a visual style appropriate to their region.

In my opinion, this is making RuneScape way too easy, though it does save time. What do you think?

Well, now I don't have to use an autowalker... I guess that is good. Bit of a stupid update, it makes teles a useless spell now. Tabs are going to drop most likely.

 

[deevee]

helps a lot

but this kind of thing is what makes rs players lazy, soul wars made training easy, jadinko lair = firemaking, ivy's = woodcutting, frost bones = pray... eh! not complaining though runecrafting and agility next please

 

[Surround Sound]

A fantastic update. It means it's now very easy to change to/from lunars and ancients, which makes life exceptionally convenient. If you own pharaoh's sceptres and teleport tabs I'd suggest dumping them immediately.

In my opinion really good update, especially because you now can teleport to the mirror-place from desert treasure for quick switching to the ancient magic spell book, anyways how do you unluck all the teleports, do you only need to click on the gatestones so they will activate themselves?

 

[Emperor Nero]

You just go and click on the stone.

Good update in my opinion!

Glad to see this, especially the Bandit Camp teleport. I don't have to spend 70k on scrolls to get there now ^_^

Wouldn't this make astral rc'ing extremely easy?

 

[strikerx120]

hmm, my cheap adn poor as shall never use a law rune again!

 

[JayD <3]

This update is awesome I can now home teleport to anywhere. I used to hate being on ancients and having to teleport places, but this makes it rather easy. And this teleports you to places where training certain skills will become MUCH faster.

 

[Dave]

It's a great update, especially for people like me who are lazy as hell.

 

[ortiz817]

well i should sell me 18k law runes before they crash i guess
