July Patch Week - This Week In RuneScape

If you've always wanted get your hands on the legendary Assassin's Walk animation, now's your chance. (Naruto) run, don't walk, to Treasure Hunter: The Assassin's Return!

The iconic animation is up for grabs along with a whole host of on-theme gear – just complete a series of contracts to get your hands on those sneaky goodies.

First, pick a monster and slay them instantly for an Assassin-themed reward. You’ll then receive a contract to defeat a certain number of different monster types.

Complete the contract, and you’ll get an Assassin Chest: this gives you a guaranteed chance to pick up either some new Assassin-y cosmetics (in various colours), 5 million GP, or that must-have animation!

Remember to also keep an eye out for the Assassin themselves - they're a super-rare monster spawn that might just appear in your lineup! Defeat them for a guaranteed Assassin's Walk drop. Well, they won't be using it...

Get started this Thursday, July 28th!

In order to best maintain the services that power RuneScape, we're introducing a recurring maintenance window to health check all our systems and ensure everything is optimal.

Following your feedback from last week's deployment, we are still working on when, how often and for how long maintenance work will take place on the final schedule. As soon as we have that information, we'll let you know all the details.

For now, our next maintenance downtime is planned for August 3rd, and we'll confirm the specific hours in next week's TWIR.

Requirements Changes

In the coming months, RuneScape will no longer support Windows 32-bit builds or graphics cards that do not support OpenGL 3.0 or higher. This change allows us to focus our technical development and testing resources on more commonly-used platforms.
