This update adds a new content area for players with combat skills level 1 to 15. To access it, look for the golden portal just outside the Serbule gate (the one near Sir Coth).
In addition:
- - Fix bug allowing bosses to be camped
- - Fix for characters sometimes not animating
- - Increase Animation Distance Multiplier defaults for each quality level, so creatures and players don't skate around as much
- - Potential fix for desync issue (where monsters are dead but appear alive and cannot be looted)
- - Potential fix for projectiles "sticking" to a creature and rapidly spinning around it
- - Fixed broken Glassblowing training requirements on Rebeccah The Whisperer
- - Most monsters can now be clicked on even if their animations are turned off through settings

Update Notes: February 2, 2026
This is a small bug-fix update:
- - Fix bug causing monsters to camp player corpses
- - Fix bug allowing players to loot corpses they shouldn't (!)
- - Further performance improvements to client assets, including a new approach to horse texture management:
- - Convert horse texture algorithm from the CPU to the GPU. This is obviously much quicker, and lets us compress the textures so they're much smaller now too - win/win!
- - Fix bug causing people to sometimes play instruments while they're sheathed
- - Party Members now get their own nameplate color! Defaults to green. To change it, go to Settings > GUI > Colors > Nameplates
- - Update default positions for Quest Tracker, XP Tracker, and Party Frames
- - Fix bug preventing buffs/debuffs with a number counter from being hovered over
- - raise demo player level cap on Cartography and Gourmand from 15 to 25 (so they can't accidentally lose irretrievable XP due to the cap)
- - more server performance optimizations
- - added a shovel you can find on the beach of the newbie island

Another bugfix update! The final one! (Ha ha no there's gonna be more, we have more fixes in the queue already)
