First Update: Exclusive Goggles only in Chrome

Download Google Chrome here to receive a pair of exclusive goggles in this limited-time offer!

We’ve teamed up with Google to bring Chrome users a set of exclusive goggles to wear in-game. Whether you’re looking to style yourself as an eccentric engineer or to spruce up your forum avatar, these are a sartorially sound choice of headgear.

Google Chrome is a great choice for RuneScape players looking for a browser that’s speedy, secure and simple to use; it’s already the browser of choice for 26% of our users, and is used right here in the Jagex office. For a limited time, those who choose to log in using Google Chrome will receive a pair of these prismatic marvels as a free gift.

The goggles are available to free players and members alike. If you’re an existing Chrome devotee, you need only to log in and the goggles will be deposited into your bank. If you don’t currently have Chrome installed, you can download it for free here.

This spectrum-spanning set of eyewear is only available for a limited time and isn’t tradable, so be sure to grab your goggles while you can!

Update Two: Loyalty Programme - Batch 3

Today sees the release of our first tier 4 aura, a range of new combat auras with some amazing visual effects, and some excellent choices for those pursuing a peaceful path. There’s something to suit every loyalty point balance so, if you haven’t already, sign up to our Members Loyalty Programme now!

Auras...

First up is our first tier 4 aura: Aegis. It’s our priciest aura at 84,000 points, but it’s accordingly powerful, reducing damage taken by a percentage based upon your Defence level. The Aegis effect lasts for 30 minutes, or until it has absorbed an amount of damage also determined by your Defence level.This affects all damage types and stacks with armour, making you a burly bastion of resilience in the hairiest of combat situations.

The Salvation and Corruption auras both offer increased Prayer XP and a means of prayer point recovery. While the effects of these auras are identical, visually they’re very different, bestowing you with angelic or demonic wings depending on your chosen version.

The Ancestor Spirit aura gives you a chance that, when you’re struck in combat, the ghostly forms of your forebears will return to wreak vengeance upon your assailant with a retaliatory attack. This works in both PvP and PvE.

The Dark Magic aura is sure to become a favourite among magic-users everywhere, as it has a chance to add an additional damage-over-time effect to any direct-damage spell. Again, this works in PvP and PvE.

Fight fans will also enjoy the Berserker aura which gives an Attack and Strength boost for a short time, and the Regeneration aura, which increases life point regeneration.

There are some new options for skillers, too: There’s an all-new Greenfingers aura for farmers, which prevents crops from becoming diseased and gives a percentage chance for increased crop yield. Hunters among you will enjoy the Tracker aura, which increases your chance of successfully trapping hunting targets.

On top of all this, we’ve added new tiers to many of the auras already available, including Knock-Out, Call of the Sea, Five-Finger Discount, and many more.

Only real importance:

The new Auras seem GREAT for PvM.

[Laimtrinds]

wow wander how much google payed rs for that update haha

 

[X4NRSA]

I do like the new auras

 

[r3dm0nk3y]

wow wander how much google payed rs for that update haha

They're probably paying them a certain amount for every player that downloads the Chrome Browser .

 

[Exp Counter]

pretty sure they just can login with chrome once and never go back. Although i use chrome i find this update pointless. Im max cb and ill end up dropping the goggles for bank space.

 

[mx king]

i agree they are pretty useless, but still a cool idea.

offtopic: exp counter, wtf is with the picy in your sig? lolol nice edit

[jamestt]

Did the thing but ive had the chrome installed all time not for runescape. But this was a good ad for runescape and for Google Chrome

 

[Zerkerfist]

This is actually the saddest thing I've yet to see Jagex do. When will it end?

 

[Jeff]

Yeh, they definitely don't look medieval, haha.

However I do like the emote.

 

[Profound CW]

Most important update is that you can now right click on cades to tinder them. Pretty cool if you're good at fast right clicking.

 

[Zerkerfist]

I am totally ashamed to admit that I already had Google Chrome downloaded on my computer, and the more I stared at the icon the more curious I became...

I buckled in the end, and my last shred of dignity and self respect flew out the window as I logged in using Google Chrome to claim my new goggles. I even tried the emote, and the goggles will now sit in my bank as a constant reminder of the pathetic trash piece of sh*t that I am.

Care to elaborate? I don't quite understand.

 

[r3dm0nk3y]

Care to elaborate? I don't quite understand.

I'm guessing he's referring to the barricades within Castle Wars and Soul Wars . You can now right-click on them to burn them instead of having to use the tinderbox .

 

[Jooked]

The goggles make me feel like I'm a ghost-buster.

 

[Gucci Is Fat]

Those auras are badass! Any idea how many months you have to be a member to get one?

 

[Lucster]

Do the auras work in the wild ?

 

[Bodybordguru]

The goggles don't even look cool, but whatever, Jagex needs to make money somehow.
