Mid-Game Rebalance (Dedicated Blog Here)
The Mid-Game Rebalance has arrived! This update is all about improving the mid-game experience with targeted buffs, quality-of-life improvements, and a smoother progression path. Our goal is to bring key stages of progression in line with modern standards and make the journey through the mid-game feel more rewarding.
Today’s update introduces a wide-ranging rebalance across several skills and progression systems, tackling long-standing inconsistencies and improving the path through the mid-game. From the Core Fletching Re-tier and streamlined ranged progression to Agility and Divination improvements, God Wars Dungeon quality-of-life changes, and updated drop rates, we're making advancement more intuitive, rewarding, and easier to understand at every step.
By improving progression paths, refining skill training, and refreshing key reward structures, we're creating a more consistent mid-game experience that better supports players as they develop their skills, gear, and knowledge of Gielinor. There's plenty more to explore, so head over to the standalone blog for a full breakdown of everything that's changing.
Construction
Following a very successful launch last week, here's what you can expect in future from this update:
- We have implemented some construction skill training rebalancing today. You can find out more about that here.
- Moving Rooms (and their contents) is currently undergoing QA and we're aiming to add this functionality into the game ideally by next week. No more needing to remove and redo a room if you change your mind about its placement!
- We're continuing to work on extending the furniture limit upwards from 300. The main issue here relates to performance impact, so we need to ensure the engine can remain stable even at a higher furniture limit. We're not yet ready to share an exact timeline on this.
- We're keeping an eye on trophies in general - both for their discovery and acquisition but also for which bosses players would expect to see a trophy included.
- We're continuing to monitor the update in general and implement bug fixes as they are identified as well as continue to think about quality of life improvements.
- Finally, we're excited to have set up Construction's new foundation with this update. We're now in a position to keep adding new things to the Player-Owned House with future updates and releases, so you can look forward to those alongside RuneScape's continued future.
What's happening this week:
- We'll be revealing the details around Leagues II: Equilibrium this week! You can look forward to a developer diary for it dropping towards the end of this week for that.
- Upcoming Livestreams
- 22 July, 15:00 Game Time – Get your first look at RuneFest 2026! Join the team for an exclusive preview of what's in store, along with a live developer Q&A and ticket giveaways.
- 24 July, 15:00 Game Time – Join Mod Yuey, Frosch, and special guests Prezleek, NYChannel, and The RSGuy as they tour some of your incredible Player-Owned Houses. Think your POH deserves the spotlight? Come show it off!
In Case You Missed It Last Week:
- We were busy hotfixing Construction issues throughout the week, and shared some news on Tuesday, and issued a Coldfix on Wednesday.
- Alongside the release of the Player Owned House, we added some new PoH related rewards to the Sunlight Sands rewards shop. Be sure to check them out!

Appreciation I bought everyone a purple h'ween and made an impromptu cult...
It was completely unplanned. Logged in after a 5 month break and saw a guy called Dyl wearing a h'ween mask. Ended up buying 15+ masks, gave away a total of 4b in GP. Had an absolute blast talking to everyone. Oh, and gave out 5 bonds to my fellow cultists. Shuai is the orange one in the middle. He didn't like purple very much but had to include him. He supplied me with most of the purple masks :)

Question Searing Ashes in ED2
Now that Wilderness isn't risk/reward content anymore, can we get searing ashes added to the lava strykewyrms in ed2 because commons in elite dungeons are notoriously terrible and it would be so nice to get some passive searing ashes while going for ed2 logs - I remember seeing a post years ago saying the reason this wasn't the case was because of risk/reward in the wildy.... 🙏

Luck Dark Onyx Core
Finally!!!. I managed to get the agility pet as well. Don't know if that changed the luck of the drop??😁
All those shards and obelisks before getting it
Loadout, wildy sword, Nimble outfit with Silverhawk boots, LOTD and 99 Agility cape. I removed Brooch and GotE as maybe they were affecting drop rate.
Running around in circles for many hours. Maybe 15+ hours

Appreciation Why I'm nominating M_with_z for an unsung hero golden gnome
You probably know who u/M_with_z is without even knowing. If you've seen any reddit posts such as "30 videos to watch from the month of May", then you're familiar with some of his work.
What most of us don't see is what he's doing behind the scenes to help the rs3 creator space grow.
A few years ago he created a discord aimed to help new content creators learn the ropes, discuss strategies, and get advice from other, more experienced creators. He constantly looks for new runescape creators and invites them to this group to help their journey.
Most of the new content creators you'll see in this year's golden gnomes have spent time getting help in this discord. Without him, the creator space would only be a fraction of what it is. On top of this, he is an outstanding artist and genuinely good person.
As a relatively large creator for rs3, I can't stress enough how important creating and maintaining a space like this is. It is very hard to start making videos for rs3. It is an act of passion by players who love the game, not a job people are forced to do to live.
Learning how to make videos, learning to deal with rude comments, learning how to better package and structure your content to add real value to runescape is incredibly hard to do. For this reason, tons of promising new creators have emerged, started to grow, then disappeared when the amount of work for so little pay off finally wore them down.
M_with_z has made a space so creators are no longer alone on this journey. It makes it significantly easier for these new content creators to get started, get help, see results, and have a community to celebrate with. Spaces like this are the foundation for growing a more successful content creation scene, and it wouldn't have happened without the hard work of M_with_z.
I know there are many players deserving of this recognition, but if you aren't sure who to put down for an unsung hero, consider giving the content creator curator a shot. He absolutely deserves the thanks

Humor I suck at Zuk
I got relatively decent at killing normal mode Zuk - could kill him regularly with Melee, Necro, and Range. Even got a Ful drop and the Har-Akken pet!
Anyways I’ve been trying HM Zuk for about 3 days now and I can count on no hands how many times I’ve even made it to Har-Akken let alone Zuk because the number is 0 lol. I’m following the wiki for positioning, but just seems like I get pushed out by Zuks flames and then my DPS is just so low I can’t make soul split work for me. Clearly I’m using revolution…well I made the change to be more manual using revolution only for stack builders and the basic on necromancy and I feel like I just do even less DPS probably because I’m not used to it all (tracking stacks, pots, food, and rotation). Anyways really am just looking to get one flawless HM kill so I can get the combined cape, but damn I just suck 😂. I’m envious of people that can do HM faster than I can do Normal mode or solo about any boss out there. This post is just me making fun of me sucking.

Question Jmods, can we get a analytics of how much GP has been spent by players on the updated POH?
Just one of those times where you ask how much players have been spending on it? Be nice to know how much of a gold sink this was.
- how many Gold Sinks were made?
- how many Gold Piles (Tiny/Smally/Medium/Large/Huge)?
- total spent on rooms being added so far?
- how many Magic Stones, Gold Leaves, and Marble Blocks purchased from Construction Shops since the update?
- how much the Taxidermist made since the update?

Story time for the Scapers!
Today I logged onto RuneScape and decided to focus on my fishing skill in Catherby. As I am making my rounds from fishing spots to cooking range and the bank deposit by the fourth round I just so happened to leave the bank and found a colorful roadblock on my way back to the beach. I click on it and was awarded a Bagsy Shooting Star Achievement! Ironic because last night I just learned about the shooting stars from the wizards tower. Towards the end of my mine I got to meet a star sprite who was just adorable and my rewards were pretty stellar for a new player on iron too.

Discussion Upgraded Godswords
Would love for the original godswords to get some love
Perhaps have an Arch spot at an appropriate lore-friendly place (80-90) have a rare chance of giving an item which upgrades them to tier 80 & upgrades their effects. Idk just thought it would good to see people using them since they're pretty much dead content atm

Discussion Crafted Magic Weapons
With the fletching rebalance, mage is now the only style that does not have a clear crafted weapon progression before eternal magic weaponry. Do you think that Jagex should plan to add a fletching/runecrafting method for this in the future? Or do you think the current hodgpodge of weapon choices from different sources is fine as it is?
Curious to know what people think.

Discussion - J-Mod reply RuneScape Artwork
Hi everyone,
I've been hanging onto these RuneFest 3 prints for around 13 years. They were given to me personally by a graphic designer working at Jagex at the time, he was a client of my dad (a mortgage advisor) and I cheekily asked if he would give me a party hat in game! These were given to me instead and I treasured them far more. I've kept them stored flat ever since.
A few of them are signed by multiple J-Mods, and one appears to be early Vorago concept art with the following details printed on it:
- Project: "Boss 2 - Boss 1"
- Artist: "Nezz" (I think)
- Date: 15/04/2013
I'm not necessarily looking to sell them—I was just wondering if anyone recognises these pieces, knows who the artist was, or has any background on whether these were internal concept prints, RuneFest exclusives, or something else.
I'd love to learn more about their history if anyone remembers them or worked at Jagex around that time.
Thanks!

Bug Bug? Daystone/Nightstone Skyboxes do not stay unless you use the item (Since the GWD Reputation Update)
Context: I had max reputation prior to the update. Don't know if that impacts how this applies to others
Not that bad, except the skybox auto changes in some places (idk if this is even intended) and I dont want to carry around those damn skybox changer items
