- 'Accidental' Fletching and Firemaking is here!
- You can access this content through the teleport menu (ctrl-t or ;;t):
- 'Accidental' Fletching and Firemaking is quite simple! There are 3 activities you can do in the area and all require a few different things, I'll do my best to explain them all!
[+] Seggregation
- You can start this by collecting eggs from the Pile of dinosaur eggs located right next to the teleport spot:
- This will slowly fill your inventory with two different items:
- Good eggs can be utilised! Take these to the West and Incubate them at the Fast incubator:
- This will grant Firemaking experience and spawn a cute little dinosaur!
- You will also receive Sharp shell shards, the use of which will be detailed later in the thread
- Alternatively to the East, you can take your Bad eggs to the Fast compost bin to Compost them:
- This will also grant Firemaking experience and Sharp shell shards!
[+] Zygomite Carestyling
- You can start Zygomite Carestyling to the East of the teleport
- There will be 3 Zygomites begging for a style, they'll have an expiration bar where after it is emptied, they'll leave and another will replace them!
- You can configure the Zygomites to determine which care style you'd like to implement:
- Cut and Dry granting both Fletching and Firemaking experience, or just Cut or just Dry for Fletching/Firemaking respectively
- Doing this action will grant you experience as well as Tempered fungal shafts! Which will be detailed further down:
- While caring for the Zygomites you can also receive unchecked Zygomites to use in your Player Owned Farms
[+] Eggspermination
- Finally, we have the most tedious activity, Eggspermination
- You can access this activity by using the Mystical tree to the East:
- You'll then want to collect Rootlesaurus Rex from the Storm barn:
- You'll then notice each of the Rex's has a tooltip of what they need to be fed and when:
- There are 4 food troughs around this area that you will need:
- You will need to feed the Rex's to progress them:
- To put it bluntly, you're beefing them up for the slaughter (more experience)
- Once you've fed them 4 times, they can be squeezed to make Fertiliser:
- Which can then be ignited to grant Firemaking experience and Dinosaur 'propellant':
- Now I'll explain each of the items and their uses!
[+] Sharp shell shard
- Sharp shell shards are predominantly used as a component to make Dinarrows (which will be detailed as well)
- However, you can also use them as a stackable Firemaking item!
- They're quite good for AFK Firemaking training! Giving approximately 3 minutes of AFK time
[+] Tempered fungal shaft
- These shafts act as the 'Arrow shafts' for Dinarrows:
- They can also be spun at a Spinning wheel to make stackable bowstrings:
[+] Dinosaur 'propellant'
- Dinosaur 'propellant' is the Feather part of a regular arrow but for Dinarrows:
- The Ultracompost part of this is not added, as there isn't much use on Ataraxia.
[+] Dinarrows
- Dinarrows are, by themselves, Tier 95 arrows:
- However, as stated you can charge them with resonant anima to upgrade them into extremely powerful arrows
[+] Bik arrows
- Bik arrows can be obtained by charging Dinarrows with 45 Resonant anima of Bik:
- Bik arrows have a passive effect:
[+] Jas arrows
- Jas arrows can be obtained by charging Dinarrows with 45 Resonant anima of Jas:
- Jas arrows have a passive effect:
- You can also use Tune Banite Ore to convert these arrows to Demonbane:
[+] Ful arrows
- Ful arrows can be obtained by charging Dinarrows with 45 Resonant anima of Ful:
- Ful arrows have a passive effect:
[+] Wen arrows
- Wen arrows can be obtained by charging Dinarrows with 45 Resonant anima of Wen:
- Wen arrows have a passive effect:
- Wanting to see how these arrows go first before making any drastic changes/buffs :)
[+] Slayer Task Teleport Scrolls
- Slayer task locations are generally people's first question on the server, "Where is this?", "Where is that?", I've been wanting to add something to help with that for quite a while
- Finally got around to doing it!
- New players will now start with 15 of these scrolls, meaning they can in theory teleport to up to 15 Slayer tasks:
- The first option 'Teleport' will come up with a warning confirmation dialogue:
- Alternatively, the second option 'Quick-teleport' will instantly teleport you to the task:
- If you run out or don't have any, you can easily buy them from the Vote Shop and Trivia shop for 1 point each:
- I'm hoping this really helps the new-player experience and also more experienced players wanting to save some time as well!
[+] Archaeology Teleport Scroll
- A new Store item: Archaeology Teleport Scroll can be used to teleport to all of the Material caches around the game with a simple click!
- This includes all of the caches:
- Similarly to the Amulet of Farming, this scroll costs $7 and can be purchased in-game or from the Store
- Or alternatively from the Vote shop for 25 Vote points and the Trivia shop for 75 Trivia points[+] Dave's Spellbook
- You can now buy Dave's spellbook from the Store Items shop ($7), Vote shop (25 vote points) or the Trivia shop (75 Trivia points)
- This book can be utilised to teleport to new locations!
- You can obtain teleport tabs from the Shopkeeper at ctrl-s or ;;shops and then chip them by using them on the Spellbook:
- You can then store these teleports inside the book, which can be placed in your pocket:
- Chipping the teleports allows you to utilise the tabs for a different location than you ordinarily would:
'Chipped' Varrock teleport: Varrock museum
'Chipped' Watchtower teleport: Observatory
'Chipped' Lumbridge teleport: South of the Lumbridge crater
'Chipped' Camelot teleport: Catherby docks
'Chipped' Ardougne teleport: West Ardougne
'Chipped' Falador teleport: Southern Falador gate- Enjoy the clue scroll hunting
[+] De-ironing Improvement
- Previously, de-ironing required an Admin to help, now it is automated
- All regular ironmen (not GIM/HCIM) can now De-iron using Mr. Ex at ;;shops:
- This is free of charge and can be done at any point in your Ironman career, however, as stated above, is irreversible!

Hope everyone's doing well! I've had quite a stressful few weeks with some personal issues I won't delve deeply into.
Apologies for the delay on this update, it's been a very tough time.
But it's here!
[+] General Changes- Changed the Cache format
- Updated the way a lot of boss instances and controlers are handled as well as the way they are stored
- Elite dungeons chest will now hold up to 90 items
- Added Dragon rider equipment creation functionality using the kit
- Added Berserk cooldown reset on Banking for Master members
- Made it so the Elite Dungeons bosses drop their loot immediately after they die
- Kerosene Karl will now work in duo if both players have it enabled
- Buffed Ripper demon familiar damage/max hit
- Buffed Croesus drop rates if you solo by 25% (with the perk)
- Added a message which checks how many daily thieves you have done on automated stalls (filterable)
- Adjusted the Vote party threshold from 50 to 20 to adjust for the reduction in the amount of vote sites
- Added a command for Discord admins to reset passwords via Discord
- The amount of porter charges you can store in Grace of the Elves now scales with your Donor rank; Master: 2000, Diamond: 1500, Platinum: 1250, Gold: 1000, Silver/Bronze/Non-donor: 500
- You can now use ;;referrer player_name after making your account and not using the referral system as long as you have less than 20 hours played

- You can now create a Vulnerability bomb (unlimited)!
- Type ;;comb and you can see it through the interface:
- For 15000 bombs, 2 Upgrade gems and 100,000 Black coins you'll never have to worry about Vuln bombs again!
[+] Animate Dead
- There has been a lot of discussion regarding how we should add Animate dead, if at all
- After reading it all and taking in opinions from all, I think the way we are going to add it encourages some critical decision making for making it worth it
- You can unlock the spell by using a City of Senntisten codex
- Anyway, here's what it will do:Animated Dead - 30 Earth runes, 15 Death runes, 15 Blood runes, 6 Soul runes
For the next 30 seconds you will take 25% reduced damage, this has a 15 second cooldown
Each piece of tank equipment you have equipped will reduce this cooldown by 3 seconds.- This way there is quite a large upkeep and refreshing process, rather than the real version which is just activate it and then you're good for ages
- It's a great ability to use to avoid high damage and isn't necessarily something you'd be having on 100% uptime contrary to what you would ordinarily.
- Obviously this isn't set in stone and is subject to change, we will see how it goes![+] Essence of Finality Expansion
- You can now add any weapon you want to Essence of Finality!
- It'll now queue the Essence of Finality special attack after your last action
- Here's a few fun special attacks in action:Dragon Claws
Dragon Longsword
Dark Bow
- Hope you enjoy the Essence of Finality expansion!

That's very strange. I'd check your Graphics driver is up to date as well as potentially delete both cache's. You can find these by navigating to ProgramData/Atrax and AppData/Atrax, Deleting both and then reinstalling.
-
Hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday period, usually pretty busy with family obligations, back to business now!
Highly anticipated and eagerly awaited, Zamorak, Lord of Chaos is here!

- Zamorak, Lord of Chaos has made his way to Ataraxia!
- With awesome rewards and a whole new Elite dungeon: Zamorakian Undercity, Zamorak will be your final foe
- Here's the dungeon layout/guide:[+] Zamorakian Undercity
- The beginning of Zamorakian Undercity is mostly like other Elite Dungeons
- You will need to start a party to enter
- As most monsters have varying susceptibilities, you can pick whatever you'd like, however, the wikipedia's recommend HHB or Seren Godbow
- Here's the setup I was running to clear trash mobs:
- With higher DPS such as this, you can use Soulsplit, so a Blood reaver and/or an Essence of Finality harnessing the Eldritch crossbow special attack is excellent
- Post-note: I also forgot a pocket slot, I'd recommend Grimoire (obviously) or alternatively just a Scripture of Wen for AoE
- Alternatively, for more AoE you might want to use a Seren godbow as the special attack will be great, or if you can't afford that, a Decimation for the small window of AoE damage
- Otherwise, the gear is quite straight forward, your strongest Ranged armour top/bottom, Harold's helmet or the imbued variant (if neither, use strongest range helmet), Max/Comp/Igneous Kal-Zuk or Kal-Xil, Hexhunter bow or SGB, Swift gloves for double shot, Enhanced fleeting boots for bonus & Fragmentation shot chance, HSR (i) with Matriarch rings harnessed (or just matriarch ring) and then Vampyrism for extra healing
- A key note is that in the dungeon you will come across a lot of mobs, most are fairly irrelevant and will be dealth with in a manner of ticks, however, there's a few you should target before others, such as:
Chaos Witch Mender - Will heal the other mobs if left unkilled
Chaos witch lifeweaver - Will heal other mobs if left unkilled
Greater demon savage - Looks scary, kill last, has passive reduced damage so you're better off killing others before wasting your time on him/them
- I did a full trash run and didn't feel in too much danger, here is the starting trash run before the first miniboss:
- Following this, you'll run into Mefis, the Jailer, the first miniboss, he is basically just annoying, when you get him to health thresholds he'll teleport away, I did kill him, but it took me a shockingly long time to find where he teleports, so I don't want to embarrass myself and post that footage.
- After you kill him you'll be back in the area below, then like before it's just trash running through while activating Chaos wards, this will allow you to path up to Eterna, the Ritual Leader:- Take 2:
- Following Eterna, Ritual Leader, you just enter the portal, you can either kill the Magus, or just kill Denizen and he'll take out a few for you before doing the same
- Progressing to the end will then unlock the final boss fight, Zamorak, Lord of Chaos:- Now you have Zamorak, Lord of Chaos
- This is quite a complex fight so please, bear with me.
- Zamorak's arena is laid out like so:
- These circles (pads) all have a large symbol on top of them, these represent Zamorak's passive powers progressing in the fight, Zamorak will receive a "hex" and the player will receive an "edict"
- In order to progress the fight you have to 'charge' all of the pads by standing on them, which will then give you the edict and Zamorak the hex
- I will explain these more following detailing the abilities/hexes/edicts
- Some of these are custom on Ataraxia, so read carefully:1.
Zamorak's Hex: Twinshot: Zamorak's attacks deal a second hit at 10% total damage of the original hit, per stack
Player's Edict: Anima Flow: All attacks have a 15% chance to generate 5% special attack, per stack2.
Zamorak's Hex: Smite: If Zamorak's targets are hit below 5% of their Constitution level (x100), per stack, they'll be executed
Player's Edict: Haste: Your ability cooldowns are reduced by 8% of their original cooldown, per stack3.
Zamorak's Hex: Coven: Zamorak periodically calls Lifeweavers and Protectors to heal him (doesn't stack)
Player's Edict: Inner Chaos: While standing near a hexed rune, you deal and take 5% more damage4.
Zamorak's Hex: Disintergrate: Zamorak's attacks will push 7% of damage through any shielding effects, per stack.
Player's Edict: Guardian's Triumph: After casting a Weapon special attack, your next attack consumes Guardian's Triumph, increasing the damage it deals by 20% extra damage, and heals you for 8% of your missing life points per stack.5.
Zamorak's Hex: Chaos Traps: Upon activation, Zamorak will spawn traps across the arena that will spike magic damage and stun if walked on, this will happen every time a new rune is activated
Player's Edict: Sword of Edicts: Temporary siphon the dwindling defensive power from the Sword of Edicts, dealing and taking 5% less damage while standing near it, also protects against the stun/damage/bind from Chaos traps6.
Zamorak's Hex: Affliction: When Zamorak's targets heal, the amount will be reduced by 10% per stack
Player's Edict: Balance of Power: While below 60% of your maximum life, outgoing damage is increased by 6%, per stack- Great, now you know what those are, good luck, hope you enjoy the fight!
- Sike, there's so much more! yahoooooooooo
- Anyway, Zamorak's attacks in normal mode:Flames of Zamorak: "This world will burn." - Zamorak will impale the ground, dealing melee damage, black fire will then appear, if the black fire is not consumed (by running over it) Zamorak will take reduced damage.
Chaos Blast: "I will tear you asunder!", "FEEL THE RAGE OF A GOD" - Zamorak will curl into a ball and charge an attack, stun him using Ice barrage or Sticky bomb to reduce the damage, alternatively, Powerburst of Vitality/DS the attack.
Infernal Tomb: "Step into the dark... Meet your death." - Zamorak will target players and drag them into Infernus, where they must kill Chaos Demons, they will be given a rune, they must exit Infernus where that rune is.
Adrenaline Cage: "CHAOS, UNFETTERED!" - Zamorak will drop the overhead prayers of all players, there'll be a yellow circle of which the targeted player must remain, protect mage and devotion to take reduced damage
Channelers: "HEED MY CALL." - Zamorak will spawn a Chaos witch channeler in Infernus, you must transfer to Infernus and kill the Chaos witch channeler between phases, the witch will stun, enter infernus, anticipate, kill, teleport out
Rune of Destruction: "You're already dead." - Zamorak will lay a massive red rune around him, with a gap, stand in the gap and avoid the black sludge
- Yeah, maybe not that simple... Ok. Now we know the edicts and hexes, you need to decide which order you'd like to progress, obviously understanding that the later you leave one of the pads, the more stacks there'll be, so you have to choose wisely
- Here's what I recommend for starting out, and then you might progress and feel like you can change it up a bit:
- #2 first: This means your execute threshold is very low to start with, your cooldowns aren't reduced by much but who cares
- #4 second: Protection prayer effectiveness is nice if you're flicking, special attacks aren't as prominent in ataraxia so might not be as influential
- #1 third: Who cares
- #3 fourth: Just kill the protector/lifeweaver and be done with it
- #5 fifth: Traps are really annoying, wouldn't want them spawning regularly, sword of who cares amirite?
- #6 sixth: Healing is very important considering you'll be soulsplitting most of the fight, but at the same time increased damage while below 60% paired with Berserker's fury, fat.
- Here's a kill I did using this strategy (albeit not perfect):- So that's 0% enrage, once you hit 100% enrage, there is a 7th phase, oh boy!!
- Once reaching the 7th phase, Zamorak will drag you into Infernus for a final fight
- A Chaos demon will spawn, kill this before you kill Zamorak to avoid unnecessary damage, while doing so, Zamorak will flash a rune or some runes in front of him, so be sure to pan your camera so you are able to view this, you must kill the runes in the order they appear
- Zamorak will deal a lot of damage during this phase, so it's a good idea to have your Powerburst of Vitality ready along with combo eating
- Here's me doin it:- As you can see, it's quite difficult, that was maybe my 7th or 8th attempt, but I feel like you'll all get much better than me if not already :)
- Anyway, enough horsin around, what does this fucker drop:[+] Zamorak, Lord of Chaos: Rewards
- Within The Zamorakian Undercity, there's drops similar to previous Elite dungeons such as invention materials, relics etc
- Most notable drops from the trash include the Sliver of pain, power and strength
- These can be combined to create enchantments that buff the Inquisitor's staff, Terrasaur maul and Hexhunter bow, however, these enchantments are not currently added, they will be added at a later date
- Similarly to TzKal-Zuk, Kerapac and Croesus, Zamorak will drop the City of Senntisten codex, which can be used to unlock the following spells:
- Zamorak has some unique drops, including:
[+] Bow of the Last Guardian
- The Bow of the Last Guardian is the best in slot ranged weapon, created by combining three different pieces dropped by Zamorak, the Top of the Last Guardian's bow, Divine bowstring and the Bottom of the Last Guardian's bow
- The Bow of the Last Guardian has a passive called:Perfect Equilibrium: Each attack will grant a stack of Perfect Equilibirum, once hitting 8 stacks, a single attack is unleashed dealing bonus damage clearing your stacks, seen here:
- The Bow has a special attack called:
Balance by Force: Costing 30% special attack, for 30 seconds the number of stacks to trigger Perfect Equilibrium is reduced to 4, in addition, it releases a heavy hitting attack when using the special attack, as seen here:
- Zamorak also drops:
[+] Vestments of Havoc
- The Vestments of Havoc are the best in slot Melee power armour, providing T112 damage bonus, but only T75 armour bonus
- The Vestments have set effects, these differ on Ataraxia compared to the real ones, so read carefully:Vestments of Havoc (2-pieces)
Vestments of Havoc (3-pieces)
Vestments of Havoc (4-pieces)
- As you can see, this is a great set for a heavy special attack focused melee setup
- Berserk is a new ability on Ataraxia! You can now utilise this when wearing at least 3-pieces of the Vestments set
- You can see how good it is in this short clip here:- This is without augmentations
- Finally, we have the best reward of all! OF COURSE[+] Zammo the Rak
- Killing Zamorak 500 times will unlock the prestige version of this pet:
- I hope you all enjoy Zamorak, Lord of Chaos, Armar has once again done an excellent job recreating the boss.
- Enjoy.[+] Bug Reports

Very strange, I'm not sure why that would be occurring. Have a mess with your graphical settings, perhaps try reinstall the game. It might be a graphics card/driver issue but you might not be able to solve it until a new update (driver update, not game update).
-
Are your drivers up to date?
-
Wow, what a marathon update. It's been a long time coming.

- The Ataraxia Perk Tree is finally here!
- There will be a lot of information threads on how this works, the points you can get etc, but I will still detail it all here.
- The Perk Tree is an extensive path of exciting new combat, skilling and utility perks that will reshape the way you play Ataraxia!
- In order to progress, you will need to sacrifice your items, each item will give you a certain amount of points, the more expensive/rarer the item, the more points you're set to receive.
- You can find the Perk Tree at ;;home or by typing ;;tree (if you are master member this will just open the Perk tree interface):
- Well, here's the tree:
The image was too big for one screenshot, I know it's not perf.[+] The Perks
Tier 1
Tier 2
Tier 3
- Some perks will need more explanation:
Costume Box: All Elite outfits owned by your account will be automatically applied at all times, you don't need to destroy or hand them in, simply having them or having them in Diango will count while skilling. For Shark outfit, you'll obviously need the set to enable/disable consume.
Warrior: Applies 'Dismember' on the target (buffed by Strength cape and Hemorrhaging hits):
Voracious Voter: Will grant double the chance of dollars from Voting, +250k on each vote, an extra clue box per vote, extra key per vote and a chance of hitting the 'super rare' loot table.

Heroic Ascendancy: Provides the following bonuses:
- Hazelmere's Signet Ring: 6% chance to double drops instead of 4%, you can now store your Matriarch rings inside the Hazelmere's for their passive boosts
- Hazelmere's Signet Ring (i): 8% chance to double drops instead of 4%, you can now store your Matriarch rings inside the Hazelmere's for their passive boost
- Guildmaster Tony's Mattock: Doubles the chance of receiving a damaged Artifact while excavating

[+] Sacrificing Items
- On your spellbook, you will see a new spell in the Skillng section (on every spellbook): 'Sacrifice'
- This spell works similarly to High alchemy, you can put it on your Action bar or simply click it from your Spellbook:
- You will then be able to pick an item from your inventory to Sacrifice:
- Doing so will then open a Warning interface:
- Selecting Ok will then grant you the points and let you know how many you have total:
THIS ACTION IS IRREVERSIBLE, SACRIFICED ITEMS CAN'T BE RESTORED.
- You can also sacrifice noted items:
- Sacrificing dyed equipment will provide a multiplier to the item that is dyed..
Barrows: 1.075x
Shadow: 1.1x
Third-Age: 1.125x
Blood: 1.15x
Ice: 1.175x- So for example, sacrificing a Fractured Staff of Armadyl will give you 2,500 points, but if you sacrifice a Fractured Staff of Armadyl (ice) you'll receive 2,937 points, making your Ice dye worth approximately 437 points.
- So what items can you sacrifice? Here's a Google sheet with all of the items and their values:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cmvhPAqrytnDc5nBM_meuyI0nsI0uZnvmg59ewnECHY/edit?usp=sharing
[+] Halloween Event
- With the Perk tree taking a large part of our focus the last month or so, we didn't have time to come up with a unique Halloween event... That being said..
- There are a few different things going on this Halloween on Ataraxia!
- Firstly, playing the game, completing activities etc will give you 2023 Halloween Tokens, which can be spent in the following store:
- Most of it is just cosmetic, however, making a return this year is the titles:
- And the limited edition Cremation and Herb burning codexes:
[+] Cremation
- Using the Lava crater at the Donator zone, with the Cremation ability unlocked, you can now incinerate any bones to receive Firemaking and Prayer experience:
- This is the best possible way to use your Bones for Prayer experience.
- All bones provide slightly higher experience than the Chaos altar and as an added bonus you gain a large amount of Firemaking experience[+] Herb Burning
- Using the Herb burner at the Donator zone, with the Herb burning ability unlocked, you can now burn any clean herbs to receive Firemaking and Herblore experience:
- This is an excellent way to train Herblore if you don't want to make any potions or have some left over herbs that aren't usable for any relevant potions..!
[+] Unstable Rift
- To start the event, type ;;hween, before I explain it myself, it's mirrored from the 2018 RS3 event: https://runescape.wiki/w/2018_Hallowe'en_event
- You can talk to Death to receive a tutorial!
- To simplify, you must stabilise the 5 pillars surrounding the Chaotic rift, this will grant you either: Crafting, Divination, Invention, Magic, Runecrafting, Prayer, Smithing or Summoning experience, if you switch between Pillars you will receive more experience, the experience gained also scales with your level
- You can tell the progress of the stabilisation from the particles surrounding the pillars, once fully stabilised it will be glowing at the top of the pillar, encouraging you to stabilise the others:
- Once all pillars are stabilised, you can enter the Warped chamber which will contain urns, you can break these to receive Halloween Tokens & rewards from this table: https://runescape.wiki/w/Warped_chamber
- Following this, the pillars will go on cooldown until they reset 4 hours after they spawned, in which they'll all rotate with the same skills on different pillars[+] Grim Harvest
- Grim Harvest is a new Treasure Hunter promotion!
- Similarly to Santa's grotto, each key builds towards a bonus:
- You can also receive the Halloween Oddments or 'H'oddments' during the Treasure Hunter promotion which can be spent in the following store for limited time cosmetic items, animations and pets:
[+] New Treasure Hunter Rotations- It's been a while since we introduced the weekly rotating Treasure Hunter, Multi was running out of ideas, so Armar has added some more for him to pick between:
[+] Vault of Riches
- Vault of Riches works quite simply. You have a % chance to contribute keys towards an Emerald, Ruby or Diamond chest
- Emerald being the 'default' and Ruby/Diamond being the better ones with rarer rewards:
- You can unlock rare titles and overrides:
- We won't talk about the clear Avengers rip off.. I don't think we're really able to comment on that given our position teehee
[+] Assassin's Return
- Assassin's return is quite an interactive Treasure Hunter promotion:
- On the right you can see your contract (similar to a slayer task), simply, you must kill the listed creatures, after doing so, you can get a reward chest:
[+] Foresight
- Very simple one, you can just see what each chest holds:
[+] Academy of Heroes
- And finally.. another interactive one:
- Level up your hero and receive level threshold rewards as well as regular rewards for each kill:
- What level can you get to?
[+] Bug Reports
- Fixed Orthenglass flask portering
- Fixed level requirement message for Igneous Kal-Zuk cape creation
- Fixed Jug of Water filling
- Fixed burying Wyvern bones opening the herblore interface
- Fixed Barbarian agility ladder sending you to narnia

- Fixed an issue where you don't receive enough elite outfit fragments

Ataraxia Perk Tree Information
You can find the Perk tree to the east of ;;home or by typing ;;tree/;;perktree.
If you are a Master donator, simply typing ;;tree will open the Perk tree interface.
The Perk tree is a large item sink with excellent rewards.. You will have to sacrifice your hard-earned items for Perk tree points which can be spent to unlock unique perks that will change the way you play Ataraxia.
How to Sacrifice Items
On your spellbook, you will see a new spell in the Skillng section (on every spellbook): 'Sacrifice'
This spell works similarly to High alchemy, you can put it on your Action bar or simply click it from your Spellbook:
You will then be able to pick an item from your inventory to Sacrifice:
Doing so will then open a Warning interface:

- Simply put, this scales down the damage of ammo you're using to the tier of bow you're using it with..

- This was a necessary change in striving towards a balanced combat triangle.[+] Pernix Quiver

Abyssal Savage

Combat Style: Magic from melee range
Weakness: Water spells
Special Ability: Abyssal demon teleports
Abyssal Beast
Slayer Level: 105
Combat Style: Melee
Weakness: Slash
Special Ability: Abyssal demon teleports, Tongue lash
Abyssal Lord
Slayer Level: 115
Combat Style: Magic
Weakness: Ranged
Special Ability: Abyssal demon teleports, Spawns Tentacles that deal Magic damage (kill these)
Notes: Counts as 5 towards Abyssal demon task
- All of the combat scripts are added for these monsters
- These Abyssal creatures all drop a new item "Abyssal flesh" which can be used to upgrade Armour spikes or Armour spikes (alloy) to Abyssal armour spikes/Abyssal armour spikes (alloy) at a rate of 10 flesh to 100 spikes, the effect of which will be shown in a video below
- Abyssal savages don't drop anything unique of note
- Abyssal beasts have a 1/5000 chance off-task and a 1/1000 chance on-task to drop Jaws of the Abyss:
- The passive ability is not yet added and might be expanded in the future.
- Abyssal lords have a 1/10000 chance off-task and a 1/2000 chance on-task to drop Abyssal scourge:
- You can see the affects of the Abyssal scourge in this short video:
- As well as the affects of the Abyssal armour spikes in this short video:
[+] Nodon Dragonkin
- As well as the Abyssal creatures, Nodon Dragonkin slayer assignment and creatures has been added!
- You can find these at the Nodon front, accessed through teleporting to the Slayer assignment on ;;t like so:
- You can now fight:
Nodon Artificier
Slayer Level: 92
Combat Style: Magic
Weakness: Ranged
Special Ability: After 6 attacks will say 'Feel the flames', just move out the way or take lots of unavoidable damage
Nodon Guard
Slayer Level: 92
Combat Style: Melee

Special Ability: After 6 attacks will say 'ARGHH!' and jump to quake in your direction, avoid it :)
Nodon Hunter

Nodon Enforcer
Slayer Level: 92
Combat Style: All styles

- As we don't have Cannons, Kinetic cyclones or Oldak coils, the rare drops from the Nodon dragonkin are fairly irrelevant.
- They do, however, have a pet drop:
[+] Greater demon berserker and Ash lords
- Finally, Greater demon berserker and ash lords are added! Both can be killed on a Greater demon slayer task reducing the counter by 8 per kill or on their own respective slayer tasks

- The final Slayer change is that Mandrith is now the highest level Slayer master! He requires 120 combat and 95 Slayer.
- And an alternative to the low level Slayer masters is now Jacquelyn:
[+] Event Token Changes
- Events have been reworked slightly, as there was an issue of people hoarding their tokens waiting to be able to pick specific events, I've removed the option to pick a specific event
- Your options are now:
- Selecting Random Event will activate any random event
- Selecting Random Skilling Event will activate one of the following: Double Gathering, Double Spotlights, Triple Experience, Contract EXP
- Selecting Random Combat Event will activate one of the following: Double Drops, +25% Drop rate, Double Slayer & Reaper, Double Spotlights or Extra Damage
- Selecting a random category will cost 2 tokens instead of 1, however, if you're a Master Member, you can use just 1 token for any option
- Furthermore, as it's all easier to activate now, Events can now overlap! You will receive a warning dialogue if an event is already active:
- Rolling the same event won't make the token useless, it will add to the timer of the current event like so:
- This also allows for the possibility of Extra damage, Drop rate and Double drops all at one time
[+] Reaper Task Changes
-Most of the previous experiences of hunting Reaper tasks was skipping tasks until you could find the one you want...
- Which, for progressing players is ok, as they might get a task that they could do but may not feel like it but do it anyway
- However, for end-game players, they'd spend an exorbitant amount on trying to get a specific task they want
- Firstly, skipping Vorago will rule out Vorago from your next skip, so you won't waste money on skipping back to back of the same Boss
- Also, we've added the ability to pick your task.. Provided you have every Reaper perk unlocked:
- Selecting the first option will open up the following interface:
- You can pick any task you would like for only 30m (15m if you have The Discounter perk)
- We've also added a new Reaper Perk for 1,500 Reaper points:
- So when you pick a task you will be able to pick between the Min amount, Assigned amount, Max amount like so:
[+] Loyalty Shop- Updated the loyalty shop with some new goodies:
- You can now buy Herb boxes and Secondaries boxes for 1,000 points each
- Aura refreshes cost 15,000/25,000/35,000/50,000
- You can buy an Ataraxia coin sack which contains between 5 and 250 Ataraxia coins for 20,000
- You can buy Elite dungeon booster tokens and Skilling booster tokens for 100,000 each
- You can buy Keepsake keys for 125,000 each
- Hoping this is something you all like if you've got a few loyalty points laying around...[+] Bug Reports

[+] Fleeting/Laceration/Blast diffusion Boots
- It's been brought to our attention how overshadowed Magic and Melee are by Ranged
- In order to somewhat combat this and give Magic/Melee a comparatively powerful piece of equipment like Ranged and the Swift gloves, we've made some changes to the boots from Raksha
- As you can see, the Magic and Melee boots now have a low % chance to double hit your target
- As we couldn't buff both without giving Ranged something, they have the same % chance to apply a small 'bleed' attack on your target
- This change is also hoping to bring a bit of life to these boots.
[+] Pontifex Shadow Ring
- You can receive a Pontifex shadow ring by restoring a Pontifex signet ring (damaged) and clicking transform:
- The Pontifex shadow ring has a variety of passives:
- Tier 2 Luck
- +1% experience in Divination
- Chronicle fragments have an increased chance to spawn
- Rockertunities have an increased chance to spawn
- Time sprites will remain at hotspots for longer
- You can also charge the ring with 1,000 of each Resonant anima of Ful, Bik, Jas and Wen to provide different effects depending on which you charge the ring with:
Resonant anima of Jas: Kerapac, the Bound will no longer stun you under the impact of his Jumping Slam ability
Resonant anima of Wen: Your protection prayers against Arch-Glacor's auto-attacks are 10% stronger
Resonant anima of Bik: Stat drains within the Croesus encounter are reduced by 25%
Resonant anima of Ful: Income damage from geysers in the TzKal-Zuk encounter is reduced by 25%- Each 1,000 added upgrades the tier of the ring, starting at 2. Tiers increase the minimum Tier of trove you receive from Elder god wars bosses, Ring tier 2: (base) Trove tier 1, Ring tier 3: Trove tier 2, Ring tier 4: Trove tier 2, Ring tier 5: Trove tier 3, Ring tier 6: Trove tier 3
- You can upgrade the ring by imbuing it, this will require 10,000 of each Resonant anima of Ful, Bik, Jas and Wen:
- Doing so upgrades it to the Enriched pontifex shadow ring, this ring has upgraded versions of the regular ring's passives:
- Tier 3 Luck
- +3% experience in Divination
- Chronicle fragments have a further increased chance to spawn
- Rockertunities have a further increased chance to spawn
- Time sprites will remain at hotspots for even longer
- Unique drops at Elder God Wars dungeon chance increased by 2%
- Finally, you can overcharge the ring, with 5,000 more of each Resonant anima type, to do so, have the 5,000 of the 4 types of anima and click charge:
- Overcharging your Pontifex shadow ring grants all of the benefits as a passive, without having to equip the ring, with the exception of the luck bonus, skilling effects and prayer bonus.
[+] Kerapac, the Bound
- Kerapac, the Bound is the latest edition in the Elder Godwars saga!
- Kerapac brings numerous powerful items and has an awesome and entertaining fight
- Ordinarily, I'd post a bunch of photos and details on the fight and mechanics.. though, this usually adds up to about 1,000 words and 20 pictures and realistically probably doesn't get absorbed as easy as I intend/gets immediately ignored upon the next update
- I think it's about time I start learning these bosses myself and releasing guides for them along with the update.. So, that's what I'm going to do
- The Video below will detail the Normal mode and Hard mode encounters:
- As you can see, Normal mode is relatively easy, stand under Kerapac to avoid the time rifts and then try push dps to avoid the lightning waves
- Hard mode on the other hand is a bit more challenging, I planked a few times as you could see purely from the lightning waves so be sure to push dps when it matters to try and avoid those phases
- As stated, Kerapac's drops can be available from normal and hard mode but only the Fractured staff of armadyl pieces drop from the hard mode encounter
- Here's a list of all of Kerapac's rare drops (his regular drops are all accurate to the RS wiki):[+] Kerapac's Wrist Wraps
- Kerapac's wrist wraps are new Magic style gloves
- You can receive them as a rare drop from Kerapac, the Bound and upgrade them using a Leng artefact and 1,000 Glacor remnants:
- As we don't have Dragonbreath, instead, Kerapac's wrist wraps will have a 5% chance per hit of inflicting your target with combust, which will deal 20-37% ability damage every 2 ticks for 10 ticks, this chance is raised to 10% with the Enhanced wrist wraps.
[+] Fractured Staff of Armadyl
- Fractured Staff of Armadyl is a T95 2-handed staff which can be sourced through killing Kerapac, the Bound
- It requires three tradeable pieces to create and 95 Crafting:
- Fractured Staff of Armadyl has a powerful special attack called "Instability", it requires 50% energy and has a 60 second cooldown
- For 30 seconds if you critically strike with a magic attack, a second hit will apply dealing 90% of the damage, if this attack crits, it will then deal another third hit dealing 50% of the damage, if this third attack crits, it'll then do a fourth and final hit for 25% damage
- Here's a quick video of the special attack in action:[+] Scripture of Jas
- Scripture of Jas is the newest pocket slot book which is dropped by Kerapac, the Bound:
- As stated, on damaging attacks there's a 33% chance to cause a Time Rift, which will store damage dealt from your attacks and then unleash 20% of that damage at the end of the timer
- Here's an example:[+] Kerry
- Kerapac, the Bound's boss pet is Kerry!
- There are two variations:
Echo of Kerapac recolour (1,000 kc)

[+] Lamp/Star Changes
- Sam brought up an interesting topic as a Suggestion. He suggested we remove Treasure Hunter as the ability to train your skills and skip important progress by just Voting/Buying keys is pointless and long term detrimental.
- There was many mixed opinions about this, some were along the lines of "Now you're maxed you want to make it slower for everyone" and "That's how it is in rs3 so it doesn't matter".
- I was paying close attention to the debate and forming my own opinion, something I noticed on Iron Chode is that pretty much all of the shit skills such as Runecrafting, Divination, Herblore, Hunter, Farming and any that you personally dislike can be skipped via saving up your lamps and spamming them all on a Triple experience event or weekend. Since realising how overpowered this is and how much content I could skip doing so, I've vowed only to use the lamps/stars on skills that have no content past 99 as it'd just be repeating the same content instead of experiencing new content.
- After reading this debate, Zilyana pointed out probably the best take that I saw. He stated (paraphrasing) "Treasure hunter isn't the issue, it's being able to bank all of the lamps".
- As such, I decided that it is probably the best move for the longevity of Ataraxia that you will no longer be able to bank any stars or lamps. This doesn't take away from the ability to use these lamps and stars on skills you don't want to do, but stops you storing them for a rainy day and using them all at once to receive an obscene amount of experience.
- If you have lamps or stars in your bank, when you log on, you'll receive this message:
- Every time you open your bank you'll receive this message:
- You will have an option when talking to Lord Daquarius to claim your lamps/stars, you can claim them then from this interface:
- They will disappear in 24 hours, so use them quickly as we will not refund any lost lamps or stars.
- I know, this change will upset a few people, but I hope you can see the bigger picture, which is the longevity of Ataraxia and integrity of the game.
- If you have any questions/want to vent to someone, feel free to message me, this decision was mine and mine alone and I'll happily expand on why the decision was made.[+] New Distinction Cape Interface
- We've updated a few interfaces, more to come, but this is the first one:
- MQC coming soon.
- Credit to Neutrino for this awesome interface![+] Starter Interface
- Quite similar to the old one, but we wanted to make it more represent the newer feel to the server using the RS3 interface style:
- Credit to Neutrino for this awesome interface!
[+] Instances Overhaul
- Instances have been struggling/consistently having small issues.. Albeit a lot of them are fairly irrelevant like content overlapping or objects being in areas they shouldn't etc. But overall, it can be extremely frustrating when an instance issue can cause you to lose your kill
- Armar has put in a lot of effort into moving all Boss instances into a new system as well as potential fixes for other instance-related issues such as Dungeoneering.
- The old system didn't allow boss timer tracking, which is another huge benefit of the new system
- We're hoping this leads to a bit more stability, short and long term.
- Reworked Arch-Glacor's attack time system, hopefully leading to smoother and less buggy fights
- Here's a list of content that has had their Instances overhauled: Araxxor, Arch-Glacor, Croesus, Masuta, Seiryu, Sanctum Guardian, Taraket, The Ambassador, Rise of the Six, KBD, QBD, GWD1, GWD2, Fight Kiln, Fight Caves, Kalphite King, Legiones, The Magister, Nex, Nex:AOD, Raksha, Solak, Telos, Vorago, TzKal-Zuk, Nihils, Muspah
- Updated all of the GWD2 interfaces:
[+] Boss Timers
- OFFICIAL. BOSS. TIMERS. ARE. HERE.
- You can now fight any boss with an active Boss timer:
- Yes.. This includes Croesus:
- You can then also track your official times via the Beasts tab:
- Other bosses that received timers/instance updates: Araxxor, Arch-Glacor, Croesus, Masuta, Seiryu, Sanctum Guardian, Taraket, The Ambassador, Rise of the Six, KBD, QBD, GWD1, GWD2, Fight Kiln, Fight Caves, Kalphite King, Legiones, The Magister, Nex, Nex:AOD, Raksha, Solak, Telos, Vorago, TzKal-Zuk
[+] Crystal Chest
- Crystal Chest has been actively debated ever since Arch-Glacor released thousands and thousands of keys
- This influx of keys has made the Crystal Key (g) creation similarly debated
- As it's either make the Key (g) or get carpal tunnel clicking the chest.
- Therefore, we've made it so you can "Auto-open" the crystal chest:
- It is quite slow, 4 ticks per key (2.4s), but fully afk.
- As we've added an option to auto-open, the Crystal key (g) combination price is now 10m from 12.5m[+] Rare Mystery Box Rotation
- New rotation
- Had to close out a few of the designs with their final colour variations and have started new designs with their first colours!

It was originally added I'm sure as just a bit of a "Go do penguins" kind of thing, while there definitely isn't 6+ coming into the eco per Ghostly, it still shouldn't be needed anymore as Penguins are excellent without this, and having a guaranteed master casket per week from Ghostly is still awesome

Lava Blob: While the head is showing TzekHaar-Aken will occasionally fire a Lava blob at the player in a 3x3 AoE, the screen will shake when this is fired, if the player fails to dodge it they will take large typeless damage:
Lava Bombardment: While submerged, TzekHaar-Aken will occasionally bombard the player with multiple lava blobs in a square and then following that a + pattern before finally a / and then \ pattern, seen here:
You can avoid this by simply running from your starting position to a spot unaffected by the pattern
Name: TzKal-Zuk
Ability: He gon fuck you up.
[+] TzKal-Zuk's Waves
- There are 3 types of waves in the TzKal-Zuk encounter, Regular, Igneous and Challenge.
- Regular waves are exactly that, a certain amount of monsters will spawn over a range of sets, where sets refers to the order of which they spawn in separated by a number of ticks. EG. If wave 1 is 2 Kih and 3 Hur over 2 sets, they might spawn in 1 Kih and 2 Hur in the first set and then after a small time period spawn the remaining 1 Kih and 1 Hur
- Igneous waves are you chance to damage Zuk. Starting from Wave 4 and occurring every subsequent 5, Zuk will spawn 11 monsters in total, 3 being an Igneous version and 8 being the regular version. You MUST kill the Igneous variants, doing so will give you an ability pop up after you absorb their energy. Popping the ability will clear the remaining regular variants and then incapacitate Zuk and allow him to be damaged. You have approximately 20 seconds to deal 5,000 damage and progress to the next wave, not reaching 5,000 damage will restart the Igneous wave
- Challenge waves are a chance for you to impress Zuk. Starting from Wave 5 and occurring every subsequent 5 waves, Zuk will drag you to a smaller area arena, he will spawn a number of monsters which have differing requirements to pass the challenge (detailed below).[+] Wave Order

[+] Checkpoints
- Throughout the fight there are numerous checkpoints. Reaching Wave 6, 11, 16, 17 and 18 will enable the checkpoint, meaning if you die or leave the fight, you can rejoin it at that wave.
- Completing the entire fight without using checkpoints and completing all Challenge waves successfully is required to enable Hard-mode as well as unlock the Completionist cape requirement[+] Hard Mode
- Hard mode TzKal-Zuk is unlocked after completing a flawless kill on Normal mode, meaning, you must complete all Challenge waves successfully and complete the encounter in one go, no checkpoints used.
- In Hard mode, TzKal-Zuk and all of his TzekHaar's hitpoints are doubled and the only checkpoint is just before TzKal-Zuk after Wave 17
- In Hard mode there are different mechanics:Wall of Lava: In every wave except challenge modes, TzKal-Zuk will yell "The skies burn!", "Flames consume you!" or "Fall, and burn to ash", and will then send a wall of lava towards you, occurring every 40-45 seconds. Just dodge it bro.
Igneous Waves: Instead of spawning a single type of TzekHaar, Zuk will spawn the following monsters in the following sets every single Igneous wave:
Set 1: Igneous TzekHaar-Hur, Igneous TzekHaar-Mej, Igneous TzekHaar-Xil
Set 2: TzekHaar-Tok-Xil, TzekHaar-Xil, TzekHaar-Yt-Mejkot, TzekHaar-Mej, TzekHaar-Ket-Zek, TzekHaar-HurOnce again, kill Igneous, activate ability, etc etc.
TzekHaar-Aken: Can fire the Lava bombardment while also unsubmerged, basically it, another lava blob too I guess.
- Now the waves and the monsters and the Hard mode and everything is explained.. Now the actual Zuk fight.. Help, Carpal tunnel imminent
[+] TzKal-Zuk Fight
- To start, Zuk will do a bouncy castle move:
- He'll then use his big sword to deal melee damage for his auto attacks, if you're too far away he'll instead fire a big ol' fire ball at you dealing magic damage instead
Geothermal Burn: When Zuk says "You will burn beneath me" he will put a debuff on you which applies a magic damage bleed, you must use Freedom to avoid this as soon as possible
Sear: When Zuk says "Sear" or "Suffer" he will attack once with melee and then twice with magic and apply Searing pain, which periodically reduces your constitution level over time, each step moved (including surge, bd, escape etc) will reduce this debuff by a stack
Quake: When Zuk says "Tremble before me", "The earth yields to me" or "Fall before my might" he will deal a large melee damage hit, and then create 5 large eruptions around the player dealing typeless damage and applying Geothermal burn. Surge/Dive/Escape away from the eruptions to prevent being hit
Empowered Magic: When Zuk says "Die", "Begone" or "Ful's flame burns within me" Zuk will summon a magical ball and then drops a rock on the player's head dealing large typeless damage, you can Barricade this
Igneous Rain: When Zuk says "The skies burn", "Flames consume you" or "Fall, or burn to ash!" Zuk will jump to the center of the room, becoming invulnerable and then covering most of the arena in flames, then spawn an Igneous TzekHaar-Hur, an Igneous TzekHaar-Xil and an Igneous TzekHaar-Mej in that order. TzKal-Zuk will then start channeling an insta-kill, you must stagger him using the ability after killing the three Igneouis minions before it goes off, or you die.
- In Hard mode, TzKal-Zuk has two new phases:
Conduit of Ful: When Zuk gets low health, he will jump to his throne, protect himself in a barrier of fire and spawn a Conduit of Ful:
- While the conduit is active, Zuk will channel power from it firing 7x7 fire balls into the arena, kill the thing or he'll fuck you up.
Fireball: When the conduit is reduced to 0 lifepoints, Zuk will take damage, but charge up a retaliatory fireball dealing large typeless damage. After this, the Conduit will reset. This continues until Zuk falls.
[+] Rewards
- First of all, thank fuck that's over, that was miserable.
- TzKal-Zuk's base/common drops are pretty good, nothing to be too excited about I guess. Just typical RS3 boss drop kinda vibes.
- TzKal-Zuk's rare drops are only influenced by up to 50% drop rate, any higher will be irrelevant
- However, completing a flawless run (completing without checkpoints and succeeding all challenges) will grant you +5% drop boost on the drops (stacking with 50% for 55% total)
- Only the Double drops event and Hazelmere's signet ring will grant double drops in TzKal-Zuk
- The rare drops/situational drops though...[+] Igneous Stone
- The Igneous stone is a guaranteed reward for completing the encounter on any difficulty without using any checkpoints
- It can be combined with the TokHaar-Kal-Ket, TokHaar-Kal-Mej and TokHaar-Kal-Xil to make extremely powerful capes with special activatable powers:
- They all have unique powers which have a 2 minute cooldown, use them wisely
- You can combine these three capes after completing a flawless hard-mode encounter, meaning you complete all challenge waves successfully and don't use any checkpoints:
- The Igneous Kal-Zuk cape is the best-in-slot cape on Ataraxia. Boasting the best accuracy bonuses as well as a +10% damage boost and a passive +5% drop rate increase
[+] Ek-Zekkil
- The Ek-Zekkil is a new T95 2-handed melee weapon boasting the following stats:
- It can be created by combining three drops from TzKal-Zuk; Obsidian blade, Magma core and Ancient hilt.
- All of the drops require Hard mode.[+] Scripture of Ful
- Dropping at a 1/100 rate in normal mode and a 1/50 in Hard mode, the Scripture of Ful is a powerful pocket slot item, similar to the Scripture of Wen and Scripture of Bik it can be charged with the relevant pages for 45:00 of activation time
- While active, the Scripture of Ful has a 6.6% chance on a successful hit to give you Gladiator's rage which increases damage dealt by 20% and damage taken by 10% for 15 seconds. This effect has a 15 second cooldown.
[+] Little Zuk
- Upon completing 200 TzKal-Zuk hardmode encounters you can unlock the 'Molten' override for Little Zuk:
- And finally, completing the Collection log rewards you with the 'TzKal-' title:
[+] Vote and Donor Boosts (unlimited)
- The initial aim of creating the Damage/Drop boost (30m) books was to create an easily traded item for new players to liquidate their votes in an easy way to players who might utilise the Damage/Drop boost more commonly
- I've always wanted to expand it further by adding an unlimited alternative to these boosts to further improve the end-game progression/convenience for some players
- Therefore, the Vote Damage/Drop boost (unlimited) can now be created in the combinations interface:
- For 1,000 books (which equates to 500 hours of straight use), an Upgrade gem and 50,000 Black coins, you can create the unlimited Damage/Drop boosts book.
- Upon redeeming you will no longer be able to enable the 30m variations, however, you will still receive books from Voting of which you can sell to others seeking the unlimited version as well
- As I'm absolutely certain that this would be quite difficult for an Ironman to amass, I've added the ability, like Ataraxia dollars and Inverted master cape tokens, to transfer them from a regular account to an ironman account
- Furthermore, I've decided to also add a variation to the boosts you receive from claiming donations
- Very few people, but some nonetheless will consistently donate $2 to activate the Donor Damage/Drop rate boosts
- You can now create an unlimited version through the combination interface:
- This will cost you 4 Upgrade gems and 100,000 Black coins
- It was difficult trying to determine what would be the suitable price for such an item, hopefully this hits the mark
- Unlocking the unlimited Donor drop/damage boosts will stop you from receiving any boosts from donating (as you already have them)
- With both enabled, you will no longer be able to claim another, so don't make duplicates! Unlocking them both will make your Task tab look quite clean though...
[+] Rare Mystery Box Rotation
- Rare Mystery Boxes are BACK!
- You can buy these for $10 in-game or via the Store
- They have a chance to contain various loot ranging from Rare Item Tokens, Custom rares, Vanilla rares and now.. Inverted master cape tokens!
- Firstly, the new Custom rares:Scaled partyhat (red)
Force field partyhat (orange)
Force field partyhat (pink)
Scaled santa hat (red)
Force field santa hat (orange)
Force field santa hat (pink)
Scaled hallowe'en mask (red)
Force field hallowe'en mask (orange)
Force field hallowe'en mask (pink)
[+] Master Clue Creation
- You can now create a Sealed clue scroll (master) through the Combination interface:
- Considering how commonly all players can receive Box of Clue scrolls from Voting, the cost is quite high
- 10 of every Sealed clue scroll are required to make one Sealed clue scroll (master), also only having a 75% chance of success[+] Bug Reports
- Fixed a problem with NPC affinities causing defence reducing attacks like Guthix staff to stack across all accounts on the same NPC, for example, 20 people Guthix staffing Telos would effect Telos for everyone until a server restart, hence, Magic accuracy being shit on restarts..
- Fixed "your are scanning" typo in Treasure Trails
- Fixed Tropical wagtails seemingly being unable to move
- Fixed Oculi apoterrasaur dropping Dragon mattock too commonly
- Fixed crafting Noxious weapons without all ingredients sending you a blank menu to receive unlimited Dwarf remains
- Fixed Divination not stopping animation after action is cancelled
- Fixed Spring cleaner not showing Huge rune salvage's selected mode
- Fixed a problem with Area loot spamming your chat with "You can't do this on an ironman account"
- Fixed a problem with certain cosmetics not unlocking when you buy them (e.g. Elf ears)
- Fixed some problems with stand/walk/weapon idle animations
- Fixed a problem causing Guthix cache npcs to check your steps before you actually move making it difficult to convert the memories
- Fixed not being able to see Seren spirits while inside areas with lots of NPCs
- Fixed a problem with electrifying jelly debuff being stuck forever
- Fixed Dragon mattock drop announcement not displaying properly when dropped from Raksha, the Shadow Colossus
- Fixed a problem causing non-augmented degradable equipment to use double charges
- Fixed a problem allowing people to put bosses in their player owned dungeon and attack them without the boss retaliating, anyone who had these in their player owned dungeons will have their kcs and logs reset (as they abused and didn't tell us)

- Increased the effectiveness of Prayers at Solak by 25% (50% total)
- Added World announcements about the YouTube channel #ironchode
- Acid path of Araxxor now gets destroyed at 25% acid absorbed rather than 50%
- Buffed KBD drop table for Dragon rider/kbd head
- Lord Daquarius will no longer give relaunch dollars to old players, 2 years is plenty of time
- Added Warped tortoises and Warped terrorbirds to the teleports menu and Slayer task options

- Yes.. It's here...
- You can now store instant cast special attacks in the Essence of Finality (must be degraded/used)
- Now, what I mean by Instant, we don't have the same combat system as Runescape 3.
- Runescape 3 is based on a global cooldown combat system, where you can use abilities, special attacks, auto attacks all on the GCD, as we don't have this, this limits the capability of the Essence of finality.
- If you turn on legacy on RS3 for example, you can't use the Essence of finality special attacks.
- This means that the only special attacks we can add to the Essence of finality (for now) are: Noxious scythe, Noxious staff, Noxious longbow, Zaros godsword, Decimation, Staff of sliske, Eldritch crossbow, Granite maul, Staff of light, Dragon battleaxe, Excalibur and Enhanced Excalibur, Guthix Staff, and Statius's Warmmer
- While this isn't ideal, it does leave a lot of potential growth, there's so many more instant specs we can add (customly), I'd love to explore ultimate rs3 abilities being added to it such as Sunshine, Death's swiftness and Berserk.
- You can add specs to the EoF by using an instant spec weapon on it:
- Be careful! Storing the weapon will destroy it:
- After storing it you will be able to find it here:
- Dyes help distinguish which EoF is which.. But you can always just check the Special Attack:
- You can find the Essence of Finality special ability in your Abilities and then add it to your action bar:
- Here's an example of it in action using the Decimation spec:
[+] Orthen Furnace Core
- You can create the Orthen furnace core at 99 Smithing and 102 Archaeology
- It has quite an extensive list of ingredients:4x Dragon burner, level 102 Artifact
4x Draconic energy, Elite Dungeons 2
2x Curved masterwork plate, Smithing
10x Vital spark, Sophanem Slayer
10x Magic logs, Magic Trees
100x Extra fine sand, Sandstone
100x Orichalcite stone spirits, Drops
100x Drakolith stone spirits, Drops
200x Tarromin incense sticks, Herblore
500x Swamp tar, idk- The Orthen furnace core is held in your off-hand and while equipped will provide benefits to Mining and Smithing
- Superheat form doesn't cost prayer points
- Can remove sticky fungus without needing logs in your inventory
- If the Pyromaniac invention perk triggers, player will gain a 5% firemaking/smithing experience bonus for 5 minutes refreshing on perk activation
- Scroll of efficiency has 25% more chance to trigger, from 2% to 2.5% for bars to refund when finishing a Smithing project

[+] Mechanised Siphon
- You can now create a functional Mechanised siphon at 77 Invention
- To do so requires 5 Equipment siphons, 200 Magic parts, 50 Precious components, 50 Dextrous components and 50 Enhancing components
- The Mechanised siphon will automatically siphon equipment when it reaches a certain level!
- All handled through the following interface:
- You can store up to 50 siphons in the Mechanised siphon and they will consume after reaching the levels
- You can add them by right clicking the Mechanised siphon:
- You can customise which level, equipment pieces and all you want to automatically siphon:
- As you can see here, well, it works:
[+] Revenant Pets
- Revenant pets are here! You can now kill Revenants and slowly upgrade your Revenant pet
- Revenant pets have the following drop rate chance: (first guaranteed), then:Drop Rate = Amount of pets unlocked x 250
Drop Affix = 150 ÷ Revenant combat level
Drop Chance = 1/(drop rate x drop affix)
I.E Going for the Dragon by killing the dragon: (13 x 250) x (150 ÷ 126) Which is approximately 1/3.8k
- Starting with the Revenant imp growing from the Revenant spirit:
- Continuing to kill Revenants can upgrade your pet:
- And you continue to upgrade it!
- Then when you've unlocked more, you can change the appearance:
- Until you can finally flex your Revenant prowess:
[+] Rare Mystery Box Rotation
- Rare Mystery Boxes are BACK!
- You can buy these for $10 in-game or via the Store

- These are a new addition to all skills! While skilling, you will have an extremely rare chance to receive that skill's special item. This tradeable item can be combined with this token to create the inverted version of that skill's master cape:

I fucked up and accidentally overwrote this update thread with the newest one. This is all we could recover:
[+] General Changes
- You can now charge Erethdor's grimoire up to 24 hours
- All ironmen will receive Inquisitor pieces from completing the Zarosion IV collection
- Dropping Inquisitor pieces will now destroy them
- Reduced the cooldown of Cres in Guthixian cache to 20 seconds, running Memories only really works if other people are disabling the Automatons
- Added a ;;col command to open your Collection log dialogue
- Added a command for admins to remove the Group Ironman status/mode/group from a player making them a normal (normal as in ordinary, not normal as in normal gamemode) ironman
- All variations of Overload potions are now searchable in the Grand exchange without requiring the potion (previous way)
- Pet shop is now a personal shop for purchasing the bugs
- Scripture of Bik's catalyst of alteration's will now have a chance to grant a casket instead of a clue: Base: 1%, Bronze: 2%, Silver: 5%, Gold: 8%, Platinum: 10%, Diamond: 15% and Master: 20%

[+] Shop Changes
- People have been rightfully complaining about the shop technicalities for a while! Where there's a stock of 90, you buy-50 and then you have to buy-10 4 times to get the rest
- That's now improved!
image.png
- When selecting Buy-X, your entry will then replace/appear below the option adding a new option with that amount
- This will never forget, so that option will always be there allowing you to buy out stocks much quicker!
[+] Crystal Key Changes
- Crystal Keys have been added in a substantial amount with the introduction of Arch-Glacor
- Before then, they were quite balanced, however, with thousands being readily available, we've had to nerf the Crystal chests quite a lot..
- Reduced the quantities of all Common, Uncommon, Rare and Very rare rewards, especially relics
- Removed Supply cache from the Rare table and moved it to the Very rare table
- Increased the price of the Crystal Key (g) combination from 5m to 25m, the reason why it's so easy to farm unlimited rewards from Crystal chests is this combination. I think it has to come at great financial cost if you're wanting the efficiency, otherwise go 1 by 1.
- Shout out to all of those who abused it before notifying us yahoooooo!
[+] Crystal Triskelion (15) Combination
- You can now find a new recipe at the Miscellaneous Combination npc at ;;shops
- For an increased price compared to the ;;comb option, you can combine Triskelions in your bank to the Crystal triskelion (15) variant:
image.png
- Doing so will cost quadruple the amount of the Combination interface (10m) but allows you to conveniently tackle your stacks of Triskelions in your bank.
[+] Crystal Tree Farming
- Crystal Tree farming is here! You can now use a Crystal acorn to plant the Crystal tree granting 50,000 Farming experience and growing the tree instantly:
image.png
- Every day you can harvest the Crystal tree for a Crystal tree blossom and 15,000 Farming experience
[+] Croesus Soups Combination
- You can now find a new recipe at the Miscellaneous Combination npc at ;;shops

- Doubled the bring him down progress per click
- Reduced the amount of waterfalls required from 3 to 2
- You can now choose the entry tile, whether it's inside or outside instance for Vorago's War's retreat portal

- Reduced Solak prayer damage reduction from 50% to 25% (prayers will be 25% less effective)
- Buffed Blightbound crossbow and Erethedor's grimoire drop rate by 50%, from 1/400 for the Crossbow to 1/266 and 1/200 for the Grimoire to 1/133
- We'll see how these changes land and how much more difficult his combat becomes.. But, a little bit more rewarding :)
[+] Croesus Changes- Buffed rare drop chance by 15%, from 1/600 per drop slot to 1/520
- Added a filterable message during the Croesus fight that updates you with your contribution increases and reductions (so if there's an issue with contribution calculation we can figure it out!)
- Buffed Hunter node success chance by 5%, was stated that this node wasn't as quick as others, so hopefully this speeds it up a tad

- You can now use Bladed dive with Skilling mainhand/offhands
- Removed Slayer level requirement to kill Arch-Glacor and its minions[+] Croesus Front Skilling
- The Croesus front has some high level skilling options for Fishing, Woodcutting, Hunter and Mining!
- *All fungi received from this skilling has a different ID to that of the ones inside the Croesus encounter, you will not be able to bring them in
- You can teleport to these locations through ;;t:
- For the Mining section there are two options:
Moulding Varrock Guard (88 mining)
Moulding Lumbridge Guard (92 mining)
- Mining the guards when they are glowing white like the first photo will grant Enriched fungi
- The regular fungi can be used in the creation of the Corehammer and Seed bag
- For Hunter there are also two options:Decaying Varrock Guard (88 hunter)
Decaying Lumbridge Guard (92 hunter)

- All of these methods are high level and grant a substantial amount of experience![+] New Stuff
- Before I get into Croesus, it's best to explain the stuff that have made their way into Ataraxia excluding those directly received from Croesus, some of these were added to aid in Croesus' demise..
Artificer's Measure
- Artificer's measure has a rather complicated creation process, you will need:
- Pasaha, excavated and restored through Archaeology at the Orthen dig site
- Dragon scalpel, excavated and restored through Archaeology at the Orthen dig site
- Orthenglass flask, excavated and restored through Archaeology at the Orthen dig site
- Protective goggles, excavated and restored through Archaeology at the Orthen dig site
- Magic stone, purchasable from a House portal for 975,000gp
- Gem bag (upgraded), purchasable from the Dungeoneering reward shop for 22,000 Dungeoneering tokens total
- 10 Mystic cloth, drop from KBD, Chaos elemental, Giant mole, Ankou and Corporeal beast
- 10 Blessed molten glass, created at any furnace using 100 blessed sand, 3 soda ash, 3 red sandstone and 3 crystal-flecked sandstone
- Glorious silvthril chain, created at any furnace using 1 silver, 1 mithril and 1 glorious bar
- The item itself is quite worth it!
- It will increase the chance of the Scroll of Proficiency and Scroll of Dexterity triggering by 25% while creating furniture or crafting respectively
- If this effect is triggered, the player will gain a stacking "Artificer's focus" buff which increases Crafting/Construction experience by 0.5% stacking up to 10 times for 5 minutes (which can be refreshed with retriggers)
- It also acts as an Upgraded version of the Gem bag (upgraded) allowing you to store up to 100 of each gem in it (from 60)
- It has a 5% chance to duplicate any items created through glassblowing or creating urns
- Finally, it has a chance to increase progress while restoring statues during the Croesus encounter
Woodcutting/Mining/Fishing Potions
- These potions are created from the resources you receive from skilling in the Croesus front
- You can create the low level Mining/Woodcutting potions at 49 and 51 Herblore which will require the non-enriched fungi
- These potions will give you a +3 temporary boost to the relevant stat
- Creating the high-level potions will require the enriched fungi
- Creating them requires 71, 74 and 75 Herblore respectively
- Drinking a potion will grant you a +5 temporary boost to the relevant stat!Crystal Mask
- Crystal mask is an Ancients spellbook spell that requires 7 Earth, 6 Fire, 5 Body and 4 Soul runes to cast and will last for 5 minutes
- Having this spell active while pickpocketing will decrease your chance of getting caught and also provide an 80% chance of avoiding the stun if you are caught
- Furthermore, it's extremely useful for the Croesus encounter as it will protect you from being hit by an attack, being hit will destroy the mask requiring you to recast it.Relentless perk
- Added the Relentless ancient invention perk
- This perk will provide a 1.1% chance (per rank) of preventing your special attack energy from being consumed while using a special attack
- Good combos would be:
[+] Croesus
- How to get there:
Wars' Retreat Portal Attunement
Beasts Tab Teleport
- Croesus is the first Skilling boss added to RS3.. And now Ataraxia!
- For some reason you all voted for it! And Armar has been working his ass off getting Croesus here!
- As Croesus might not be too tempting for all players to get involved and has a loose (but probably necessary) 4-player recommendation for kills, we've added some extra drops, so keep an eye out there.
- I have never done a battle, but will try my best to explain how it works:Strategy
- Croesus doesn't get "killed" rather returned to a dormant state. To do so, you will need to clear fungus from the 4 central statues, rebuild them, pray to them to temporarily subdue Croesus and then destroy his fungal core:
- It's firstly recommended that you have 80+ Mining, Hunter, Woodcutting and Fishing
- Elite skilling outfits, auras, familiars, high level tools and Honed (invention perk) are all recommended to improve your gathering rates while at Croesus
- The upgraded version of the Pontifex Shadow ring (received through Archaeology empowered with Croesus front Resonant anima of bik) is extremely good to reduce the amount of stat draining from Croesus (This ring is currently not in the game, all players have this effect by default)
- The encounter itself is safe, however, you will have a blue health-like bar above your head, when this goes to 0 (when a stat is reduced to 0) you will be removed from the encounter
- Croesus' health scales with the amount of people in the encounter in a simple formula: 10,000 + (30,000 * player number)
- Croesus' also has a Rot % as seen below his 'health' bar:
- His rot % will rise slowly throughout the encounter
- If you are hit by one of his bombs (which will be detailed below) this rot percentage will rise, if this reaches 100%, Croesus will become too powerful and you will all lose the encounter
- Croesus' attacks will follow the following rotation:0:13 - Red spore bomb
0:25 - Fairy ring
0:37 - Slimes
0:49 - Yellow spore bomb
1:01 - Stun
1:13 - Sticky Fungi
1:25 - Green spore bomb
1:37 - Fairy ring
1:49 - Slimes
2:01 - Blue spore bomb
2:13 - Stun
2:25 - Sticky Fungi + Energy Fungi (both at same time)- The attacks do the following:
Red Spore Bomb - Standing in it will drain your Woodcutting by up to 15 per tick
Green Spore Bomb - Standing in it will drain your Fishing by up to 15 per tick
Yellow Spore Bomb - Standing in it will drain your Mining by up to 15 per tick
Slime Mould - Similar to insta-kill spiders in Rax, if they touch you you will lose a substantial amount of stats
Fairy Ring - If you're still standing on it when the center ring appears you'll be teleported to a random location in the encounter
Stun/Fungus fall - Failing to avoid it will cause you to be stunned for 4 seconds, if you don't use freedom to escape you'll lose stats
Sticky Fungi - Will stick you to the spot and lower your stats every few seconds until you burn your way out or are hit 5 times
- As previously shown, the map of the arena looks like so:
- In order to restore the statues and subdue Croesus to take out his core, you'll need to contribute the listed Fungi to the statues
- But of course, it's not as easy as the relevant fungi being used for the closest statue.. You have to travel a bit, which is why having Mobile, Bladed dive, surge etc will be extremely helpful
- From the Woodcutting area you can receive Timber fungus, from the Mining area you can receive Calcified fungus, from the Fishing area you can receive Fungal algae and finally from the Hunter area you can receive Fungal spores
- Therefore, each resource you gain will be required in a close statue and a far statue, which is typically used as a strategy determining which player will go long and which will go short.
- Here's a key for what symbol means what:
- When gathering from the carcasses, you should avoid the Dark spot as this will purely give you Rotten fungi, either harvest from the sparkling or the bright node:
- When you've fully harvested the carcass, Croesus will attempt to re-infest the corpse which will make it so you have to do it again, this can be combatted by interacting with the carcass with 10 rotten fungi in your inventory which will slow down the infestation substantially
- To transport your fungi, you'll need to traverse some Mushrooms, the first, is an obstacle path, only step on the sparkling mushrooms:
- The alternative is just a mushroom mine field, avoid the mushrooms:
- When Energy fungi spawn, you need to rush to the middle and clear them as Croesus will absorb them:
- Once the statues are restored, you can pray to them to open the path to Croesus' core for 15 seconds, stacking.
- When the core is open you will then have an opportunity to strike!
- You can deal damage to Croesus following clearing the carcasses, the more you've fully cleared the more damage he will take:
- 1 Carcass: 25% damage
- 2 Carcasses: 50% damage
- 3 Carcasses: 100% damage
- 4 Carcasses: 150% damage
- As you can see here, I have 1 carcass dead so I'm dealing 25% damage:
- If the spores are red like so, do not click the node! You will heal Croesus!:
- However, if they're green like so and you click it, you will deal 1000 bonus damage:
- Or if they're white and you click it, you will deal 500 bonus damage:
- Once you get the hang of it, it is quite simple, but it just takes a bit of getting used to!
[+] Croesus' Drop System
- Similarly to Croesus' entire encounter, the drop system is also convoluted as fuck! Yahooooo
- Your drop potential depends on your contribution to the encounter, you can gain contribution by:- Gathering fungi from the carcasses: +3 for enhanced, +2 for regular
- Placing fungi at the statues: +2 per resource
- Restoring the statues: +1 each exp drop (max 75 per statue)
- Removing energy fungi from Croesus' base: +5 per tick
- Freeing other players from sticky fungi: +10
- Damaging Croesus' core: +1 per 500 damage, +3 for clicking on green spores, +1 for white spores
- Rotting a carcass with 10 rotten fungi: +20
- However, you can also lose contribution:
- Harvesting rotten fungi from carcasses (dark area): -2 per
- Clicking red spores on core (healing Croesus): -5 per
- Simply put, you have a 1/600 chance for a rare drop, however, this is reduced with the amount of contribution you have.
- You can receive up to 12 loot piles, which will give you 12 chances at the rare drop, thus making it a 1/50 chance provided you have enough contribution
- For 12 loot piles, you'll need a contribution of at least 420, and to have any chance of a rare drop you need to have 60 contribution
- The contribution needed per loot pile is not linear, i.e it isn't 1 pile every 40, the higher contribution you get the lower the amount needed for an extra loot pile is, for example, you need 400-419 for 11 loot piles and 420+ for 12
- Here's a loose representation of the contribution/loot piles conversion:
- You'll receive up to 12 piles, 10 of which will be common or rare, the 11th and 12th pile will either be a rare item or nothing at all
- You will receive Croesus flakes and Resonant anima of Bik as secondary drops always
- Common rewards include: Herblore secondaries, Coins, Crystal keys, Seeds, Logs, Uncut gems, Raw rocktails, Soul runes
- And then the big ticket items.. What you want..Croesus foultorch
- Croesus foultorch can be combined with 4 Magic logs, 2500 Croesus flakes, 5 Timber fungus and 5 Fungal spores at 80 Fletching to create:
Sana's fyrtorch
- Sana's fyrtorch requires 80 woodcutting to equip into your off-hand slot, it can't be augmented and doesn't degrade
- When equipped, the fyrtorch provides:- +6% chance to successfully cut a log while woodcutting
- +20% chance to cut an extra log which also grants extra experience
- Finally, the fyrtorch can be used to clear sticky fungus within the Croesus encounter
Croesus sporehammer
- Croesus sporehammer can be combined with 4 Bane bars, 2500 Croesus flakes, 5 Calcified fungus and 5 Fungal algae at 80 Smithing to create:
Tagga's corehammer
- Tagga's corehammer can be equipped at 80 Mining in the off-hand slot, it can't be augmented and doesn't degrade
- While equipped, the corehammer provides:- +10% critical strike chance and +35 critical strike damage while mining
- While mining core ore, you can receive Deathspore arrow tips while mining, explained below
Deathspore Arrows
- You can create Deathspore arrows using fletching:
- Deathspore arrows are tier 95 arrows
- While equipped they provide:- +3% critical hit chance
- Every time you crit a stack of Feasting spores will be added, consuming an arrow
- Feasting spores: When 5 stacks of Feasting spores are obtained, they are consumed to add a 9 second buff that causes your next Ranged weapon special attack to cost 0% special energy
- Even though the ammo isn't required for a Seren godbow, it can be used with it and other chargebows alike (won't consume while shooting but consumed on spec)
Croesus spore sack
- Croesus spore sack can be combined with 500 Timber fungus, 500 Calcified fungus, 500 Fungal spore, 500 Fungal algae and 2500 Croesus flakes at 85 Crafting to create:
Seed bag
- The Seed bag functionality is quite simple, you can store up to 40 different types of seed up to 2.147b..
- Simply fill them through your invent and they'll be nice and tucked away like so:
Cryptbloom set
- Cryptbloom pieces drop as their incomplete variants and require Croesus flakes and a high Crafting level to complete the piece
- Each piece drops separately and duplicates are possible
- The helmet, chest and legs give a substantial health boost, allowing you to reach almost 1200 hitpoints from 990
- Furthermore there's quite a large defensive set bonus depending on how many pieces you have equipped:2-pieces
3-pieces
4-pieces
5-pieces
- The Cryptbloom set is stupidly strong if you want to just relax while pvming..
- While this set isn't 100% necessary for Ataraxia, I do feel like for potential future bosses and content it might come into play a bit.. So don't write it off just because it doesn't have pretty accuracy numbers.City of Senntisten codex
- A unique drop that we've added to Croesus.. As the spells were sourced from completing the City of Senntisten quest on Runescape 3, we decided to add them here
- This codex has the same chance to drop as any other rare item from Croesus!
- Reading the codex will give you the following spells:
- Firstly, Animate Dead is disabled, for obvious reasons, it's broken.
Smoke Cloud
- Requiring 74 Magic, 10 Air, 5 Chaos, 5 Blood and 5 Soul runes to cast, Smoke cloud will:
- Casting it will cast a Smoke cloud on your opponent:
Exsanguinate/Incite Fear
- As these spells' effects are solely based around enhancing abilities, these spells have been simplified..
- Both Exsanguinate and Incite fear will just be Tier 99 Fire and Water spells respectively
Scripture of Bik
- Scripture of Bik is another God book pocket slot item
- It can be activated like a scrimshaw and recharged using Manuscript of Bik which is a reward from Croesus
- While equipped, experience drops will have a chance to summon a Catalyst of alteration, which can be claimed to give you 1-3 sealed clue scrolls straight to your bank, following claiming this, you'll receive a 5% experience boost for 1 minute
Little Sus
- Little Sus is Croesus' pet drop, he has a 1/1000 chance to drop with a threshold of 500

[+] Upgrade Gem & New Combinations
- The Upgrade gem is a powerful gem that will be used to create some of the most sought after items Ataraxia has to offer
- You can purchase the Upgrade gem exclusively from the Store or Dawson's "Store items" shop at ;;shops for 25 Ataraxia dollars
- It can be used in the following combinations for some pretty high-ticketed items:Hazelmere's Signet Ring (i)
- Hazelmere's signet ring (i) will require: Ring of Wealth (c), Hazelmere's signet ring, 2 Upgrade gems ($50) and 50,000 Black coins (500m)
- This ring will not only grant the typical double drop chance of the Hazelmere's signet ring but also include the 'perfect' ring/ring of wealth (c) double drop, giving you 2 chances at a drop potentially.. if you're really lucky, giving you 3x
- It will also provide the benefits of a Ring of Death!
Super Restore (unlimited)
- Super restore (unlimited) will require: 10,000 Super restore flask (6), an Upgrade gem ($25) and 100,000 Black coins (1b)
- Super restore (unlimited) will give you an unlimited supply of Super restore sips! You will never need another potion to restore your stats or prayer if you have this item!
- It is a hefty price to create it, however, I'm hoping this stirs the Herblore economy and hopefully starts more of a market for these items as well as a money/item sink!
- Creating this item is a requirement for the Completionist cape (t)
Aggression Potion (unlimited)
- Aggression potion (unlimited) will require: 4,000 Aggression flask (6), an Upgrade gem ($25) and 100,000 Black coins (1b)
- Aggression potion (unlimited) will give you an unlimited supply of Aggression potion sips! You will never need another potion for aggro on your Slayer tasks after making this!
- Once again, a fairly expensive item to make, but it is purely for the people who are trying to really maximise their efficiency on Ataraxia and achieve everything!
- Creating this item is a requirement for the Completionist cape (t)
Elder Overload Salve (unlimited)
- Elder overload salve (unlimited) will require: 5,000 Elder overload salves, 3 Upgrade gems ($75) and 200,000 Black coins (2b)
- Elder overload salve (unlimited) will give you an unlimited supply of the best potion in the game, giving you unlimited sips of: Poison immunity, Dragonfire immunity, Wyvernfire immunity, Prayer renewal, Stat boost up to 129 in all combat stats and when consumed a Prayer points boost.
- This is the most powerful potion in the game. The price is justified in the fact that this potion will never be outclassed, it is end game. If you get this potion you will never need another stat boosting potion again!
- Creating this item is a requirement for the Completionist cape (t)These items could have been added without the need for 'P2W', but I feel these kinds of things are where P2W can be somewhat acceptable.
Through these items we can boost the economy, predominantly the Herblore economy as there will be a lot of people attempting to get the above potions. Which will require a lot of time, resources and commitment but for those who have borderline unlimited money, they can offload some of the burden on to new players and give them a money making strategy.
Similarly, these players also have a lot of stowed Ataraxia dollars, which I want to get rid of.
And then the coin sink speaks for itself.
The glory of a system like this is that realistically, if you had 10k Restores, 4k Aggros or 5k Salves you would basically have unlimited, however, the benefit and quality of life of having a single item that you never have to worry about bank space or anything like that, is so powerful.
And if you don't want to commit the time or money to make it.. Don't!
[+] Anachronia Agility Course
- Anachronia Agility course is here! This long as fuck Agility course provides a semi-customisable Agility course where you can take various routes depending on your Agility level
- It is an extremely long course when fully completed.
- Traversing the obstacles and completing the course will provide Codex pages, which can be used at the Lectern to make codicies:
- There's a few different routes you can take.. Here's a picture from the Wiki that should help..
- We've added a little bit of a competitive edge.. Which I'm sure you'll all see quite soon.
- I got lost a number of times on the way, so good luck
- But the experience is pretty good:
- Even if I got pretty lost:
[+] Collection Log Popup
- Something that I've seen on OSRS that I've always loved has been their collection log popups, when a player mentioned RS3 has them I was baffled, so I pretty much immediately wanted them added to Ataraxia!
- Collection logs will now remain open and live update while you play!
- So now, every single addition to your collection log will have a cool popup like so:

Gosh, what a big month. December is always tough, personally, I love the Christmas period and really love to get into the Christmas spirit.
I found myself being extremely unproductive for Ataraxia during this time. This patch is pretty much 99% Armar.
I needed a bit of a break, but I'm keen to get back into my small irrelevant bug fixes and content additions that you all forget about after a day!
Hope everyone had a very safe and enjoyable Christmas (if you celebrate it) and New Year with your loved ones and family.
[+] General Changes
- Added Raptor key part combination
- Added a command to ban a player from Gambling
- Added a command for Admins to spawn players items through Discord
- Changed it so voting bonuses are only granted with 3 or more votes again (was changed to 2 when Runelist was down)
- Added a 1/100 chance to activate a random event when donating over 50m to Goodwill at home (provided an event isn't already active) (it will tell you if you got rooted)
- Chameleon extract is now tradeable
- Spotlights and Token events will now be contained in #ingame-notices to clear up the discord
- Buffed rate of Material box tickets from Archaeology[+] Illuminated God Books
- God books are here!
- You can purchase the base versions from a bookcase at Citharede Abbey:
- Each one will cost 5,000,000gp:
- These damaged books are the first possible variation you can have.
- Using a full set of 4 of the relevant pages on the book will then upgrade it to it's repaired version:
- This version can be charged with pages, providing 45 mins of active time each page
- You can further upgrade the book to have better stats by Illuminating it!
- You can do this in the same location you found the book:
- You'll need to use your completely repaired book on the table:
- You can now commence the creation of the illuminated variant.
- You'll need to do the following in the same order they appear in the window:
- Doing so will then grant you the illuminated version! This version's effect is the same, however, will provide better stats while equipped
- Similarly, you will need to charge this with pages to have uptime, you can charge up to 24 hours in a book.
- Now, why go through all of this effort?Illuminated Book of Law: 5% chance to create a swirling tornado at the target's location dealing 4 hits of damage in 4 ticks dealing a total of 180-300% damage within the 4 ticks.
Illuminated Book of War: 5% chance to hit your target with a shockwave dealing 90-150% damage reducing the target's defence level by 5% + 5 and increasing it's affinity values by 3.
Illuminated Book of Balance: 5% chance for the Sword of Edicts to fall on the target's location burning and exploding dealing 90-150% damage, followed by 3 hits of 7.5-12.5% damage with a final 3x3 hit dealing 37.5-62.5% damage.
Illuminated Book of Wisdom: 6.6% chance to strike the target with lightning dealing 165-275% damage.
Illuminated Book of Chaos: 6.6% chance to hit the target's location with a dark explosion dealing damage to your target and all the targets within 3x3 for 150-250% damage split.
Illuminated Ancient Book: 6.6% chance to surround the target with icicles dealing 120-200% damage and binding the target for 4 seconds.
[+] Arch-Glacor
- Arch-Glacor is the first boss added to Ataraxia from the Elder God Wars (GWD3)!
- Arch-Glacor is an extremely challenging enrage scaling boss along with a hard-mode fight which will prove more challenging for even the best PvMers on Ataraxia!
- You can get to the Glacor Front by simply opening your Beasts tab:
- Arch-Glacor has 6 main mechanics:
Creeping Ice: This mechanic is mandatory, ice will slowly creep around the arena and force you into specific places:
- The cool part of Arch-Glacor is, you can pick which mechanics you fight him with! So you can slowly amp up the difficulty when you begin to master the different mechanics:
- The 5 optional mechanics are:
Glacyte Minions: This will spawn 4 minions with a small amount of health, Arch-Glacor will be invulnerable until they are all dead. Upon death, they will leave behind an unstable glacyte core which can be clicked to damage Arch-Glacor:
Flurry: Arch-Glacor will rapidly switch between two combat attacks, similarly to Jad, they're quite easily differentiated, this attack will occur for 15 seconds:
Ranged
Magic
Pillars of Ice: Creeping ice will cover one side of the platform and will grow, when it's at a certain fatness an ice tornado beam thing will follow you around the platform, when the ice dissipates a second beam will spawn before disappearing a while later, standing in the beams will deal damage and sap your prayer:
Frost Cannon: This is a one shot mechanic, Arch-Glacor will perform creeping ice from one side or both sides forcing you into an area then go-go-gadget turn into a big fuck off cannon and you'll need to use a shield with protection prayer or protection prayer and devotion to avoid planking:
Exposed Core: Creeping ice will approach from both sides, forcing you into the middle, his arms will lock you inside granting you a debuff that will kill you when reaching enough stacks, you need to out damage an arm and escape:
- Hard mode will enable and enhance ALL of these abilities, I won't explain how, as, if you're doing hard mode, you'd already know them more than me
[+] Rewards
- In normal mode you receive three drops, whether you're a solo and get all three, a duo and get one each and then the top dps gets one or more and the top 3 dps get one each.
- The quantity and quality of the drops you receive are heavily dependent on the amount of mechanics you have enabled
- There are obviously a tonne of regular resource drops as with every boss, but there's a few new items that are quite important and require further explanation.Glacor Remnant: These are a stackable and consistent untradeable drop from Arch-Glacor, they are used to upgrade and enhance drops from Arch-Glacor and external drops into stronger alternatives, for example: 1000 remnants, Leng artifact and Gloves of Passage will create the Enhanced Gloves of Passage.
Leng Artifact: Leng artifact can be used to upgrade the Gloves of Passage, Nightmare Gauntlets (currently unobtainable) and Kerepac's wrist wraps (currently unobtainable) into their t90 improvements.
Dark Nilas: Similarly to the remnants, Dark nilas are required to create various items from the Arch-Glacor collection including the T95 weaponry and the cosmetic adornments
Scripture of Wen: The Scripture of Wen is a pocket slot equippable book, when dropped, it's tradeable, upon unlocking it it will become untradeable. The Scripture of Wen can be activated similarly to Scrimshaws and recharged with the Manuscript of wen (drops from Arch-Glacor). While active it has a 6.6% chance of releasing a 3x3 aoe beam which will deal 5 ticks of damage before shattering dealing extra damage.
Elder Troves: These are basically loot boxes from Arch-Glacor, higher the tier, better the rewards
Frozen Core of Leng (hardmode only): This be the drop you want. This can be combined with the T85 1h melee weapons: Dark ice shard and Dark ice sliver to create the T95 Dark Shard of Leng and Dark Sliver of Leng:
Glacor Core: This item can be inspected to unlock the boss pet for Arch-Glacor; Gladys:

Ataraxia Updates #55 - 4th April 2024
in Game Updates
Posted
[+] General Changes
- Increased the chance of receiving double Deathspore arrow tips to 40% and added a 20% chance to receive triple instead of double
- Reduced the amount of Splintering arrow tips received by half if you are using an Inferno adze or using Always Adze
- All Excalibur items have activate as the first option now
- If you have the Key Expert perk, Crystal chest will now open automatically twice as quickly (2 ticks)
- Added Boogie bow to the super rare Voracious voter table
- Buffed the rare of Inverted tokens from that same table
- Increased the chance of accessing the same table
- Added Sign of the Porters as a reward from Mystery boxes
- Removed Inverted cape tokens from Rare mystery boxes
- Added Inverted cape tokens to Mystery boxes on the Legendary table
- Added Inverted cape tokens to the Store for $10
- Increased the base hitpoints of Nex: Angel of Death to 60,000
- Nex: Angel of Death encounter now only scales to solo if you have the Solo adventurer perk
- Though, kept some scaling through the following formula: hitpoints = (players x 60,000) x 2 to a maximum of 240,000 hitpoints
- Buffed Nex: Angel of Death's melee defence
- Reduced the Praesul codex droprate to 1/45 x players from 1/36 x players
- Buffed the Ectoplasmator droprate default from 1/500 to 1/300 and greatly reduced the Revenant/Barrows/Spiritual droprates (no one should be gatekept from this item for that long, it's unfun (iron chode also suffered))
- Increased Dragon pickaxe general store value to 1m
- Legio rooms will now tell you to note your keys if you try and enter without a key or with an unnoted key
- Added a 12 hour debuff after claiming a vote so you know when to vote again
- Added Holy biscuits to clue scrolls and added their consume functionality
- All Divine locations will now harvest one resource per tick instead of depending on your level/the divine location level
- All Divine locations will now harvest noted resources
- Increased the amount of possible trivia winners between 81-160 players online from 10 to 15
[+] Event System Overhaul
- Event tokens/events in general have had a lot of discussion, personally, I really like the addition of Events on Ataraxia and I have no intention of taking them away
- There's definitely changes needed to improve the way they're interacted with and how the community views them though
- People getting angry at each other for not using their tokens or not activating the specific events the majority want (when it should be up to the owner) isn't the kind of attitude I want towards them
- I have made a lot of changes, so please read them all, here is the new event list, the effect and the duration:
Double Drops: Doubles all drops received from monsters and certain bosses throughout Ataraxia, 30 minutes
Double Gathering: Doubles all resources received from various skilling activities throughout Ataraxia, 1 hour
Double Slayer points: Doubles all Slayer points received from completing Slayer tasks, 1 hour
Double Reaper points: Doubles all Reaper points received from completing Reaper tasks, 1 hour
Drop Rate Increase: Gives all players +25% drop rate, 45 minutes
Drop Rate Cap Removal: Removes the hard cap of 50% for BGH, Croesus, Zamorak and TzKal-Zuk, 30 minutes
Skilling Contracts: Skipping contracts will no longer penalise your rewards and grants +3 loot rolls on all contracts completed , 1 hour
Extra Damage: +15% damage, 45 minutes
Reduced Damage: -15% damage taken, 1 hour
Pet Drop Rates: +30% Pet drop rates, 1 hour
Reaper's Sacrifice: Completing a Reaper task has a 10% chance of receiving 25-75 Sacrifice points, 1 hour
Unlimited Porters: Porter charges and Grace of the Elves charges will not be consumed, 1 hour
- There's obviously some better ones and some that aren't that great, but it's important to still have a good balance
- As you can see, the more powerful events have had their active times nerfed, this is to still have the value of the event but maybe a little less time to get situated and utilising
- Splitting Double Slayer and Reaper was purely so you didn't have to pick between the two if that event was active, now you can decide your priority (even though I'm sure there's players with infinity of both)
- Removing Spotlights was split into Pet drop rates & Skilling exp (which isn't added, just yet)
- Triple experience has also been removed, I feel like this should just be a hosted event rather than a forced one, it devalues having 3x exp weekends
[+] General Event Changes
- Event Enjoyer now lets you pick the event you'd like
- Codex pages from Anachronia agility will now double with the Double resources event
- Event activation is now anonymous, receiving a token is no longer broadcasted and activating an event states "An event has been activated", so you can truly activate the event you'd like without any personal attacks (the fact that this is necessary should make a few of you question who you are as a person but I digress)
- You can now pick Random/Random Combat/Random Skilling with just the one token regardless of Donor rank
- Gave Event tokens a 10m general store value so they Lootbeam
- When successfully rolling for an Event token from any activity, you now roll an additional 50/50 chance, you either receive the token or you instantly activate a Random event without you being able to decide based on this 50/50.
[+] Updated Event Token Obtaining Rates
- This one's for you @tbh
Evil Trees:
1/2001/100Ancient Caskets:
1/2001/100Claiming a Donation:
1/501/15Reaper Contracts:

Donating 100m to Richie: 1/20

- As you can (hopefully) see, most obtaining rates have been buffed, meaning there'll be more events coming in, remembering, that not all of these will grant Event tokens, but 50% of the time just instantly activate an event!
- As always, please message me with any concerns, input or edits you'd like to suggest, this isn't final and I'm happy to edit the Event token system moving forward
[+] Combat Balancing
- Another hotly debated topic, Combat balancing, and the power of Melee vs Ranged and Magic
- After some deliberation and discussion with various players and staff, we've made some changes that I think are in the best interest going forward, as always, these changes are absolutely not final and can be edited/reverted/buffed/nerfed at any time
[+] Fractured Staff of Armadyl
- FSOA is a difficult item to balance given our Legacy combat, on EoC you can force crits using different abilities, on here, it's pure luck, so you can have a FSOA spec that performs insanely well or one that just fizzles out and does nothing
- FSOA is receiving a buff
- FSOA spec will now last only 20 seconds, instead of 30 seconds
- Nerfed the FSOA subsequent hit damage following crits from 80%/40%/20% to 50%/25%/10%, the amount of extra hits following a crit (4) is unchanged
- FSOA spec will now guarantee that for 20 seconds all of your attacks critically strike
Before
After
[+] Ek-Zekkil
- Similarly to the FSOA, Ek-Zekkil is quite difficult with the reliability on continuously applying bleeds, which in EoC is much easier and consistent
- Ek-Zekkil is also receiving a buff
- Ek-Zekkil's special attack bleed now applies/damages the enemy quicker, similar to the speed of Dismember, you can see this below
- There is now a minimum starting damage dealt by Ek-Zekkil's special attack, 400, however, it can still start higher if it rolls higher, this is so the special attack is more reliable going forward
- Reduced the special attack energy required to 35%
Before
After
[+] Hexhunter Bow
- It's difficult to balance this weapon as it's basically strong vs everything, nerfing the ammo to the tier of the bow also did nothing
- The best way for this to be adjusted is to make the bow itself less powerful, but still provide the late-game power that it's known for usually, but through means that aren't as easy as just farming 4k Soulgazers
- Reduced the base attack speed of the Hexhunter bow by 1 tick, meaning it will attack slower
- Made it so the Enchantment of Dispelling not only increases accuracy and damage but also increases the attack speed of the bow by 1 tick
[+] Bow of the Last Guardian
- Bow of the Last Guardian with all of the new ammo itself is honestly, decent.
- However, it still needs a little bit of a change to keep up with the HHB campers
- During the BOLG special attack, the attack speed of the weapon will increase by 1 tick
Before
After
[+] Bik arrows
- Similarly to Ek-Zekkil special attack, poison is quite hard to keep stacking and keep uptime on it, also, the base poison damage is fairly mediocre
- Changed it so Bik arrows instead add 10 stacks per instead of just 1
- Poison damage is now added instead of multiplied by, so damage = stackamount + poison damage
- If you reach 200 stacks, the damage is increased by 10%
[+] Ful arrows
- Damage modifier increased from 10% to 15%
[+] Wen arrows
- Wen arrows now apply stacks 75% of the time instead of 25% of the time
[+] Bug Reports
- Fixed using Prepared masterwork on an anvil making it disappear
- Fixed an issue with familiars special store requirements
- Fixed Augmented Imcando pickaxe not gaining item xp on Shooting stars
- Fixed Daily challenge lamp reward being deleted if your inventory is full
- Fixed Death ward reducing the amount of healing from Food
- Fixed Great white shark not bait n switchin' with Porters
- Fixed terminology on Harvesting trees for Achievements
- Fixed Extended super antifire potion not working
- Fixed Chug jug causing Unlimited overload cooldown to be too long
[+] Server Improvements
We are transferring to a new dedicated server, this new server is much more powerful, has more storage and will also allow us to have the Website, Game and SQL on the same singlular server.
This means that the communication between the Website/Game/SQL will be much quicker and likely require less server load.
Node has also greatly improved the setup of the server. This new setup allows us to fully prepare the new update while the server is online to the point where when we restart the server, the new changes are all already in 'standby' ready to just be switched over.
Meaning that it's an easy restart rather than shutdown, pull changes, pull cache, wait for server to recompile etc.
We're also hoping this new server improves player's connection with the server and adds a bit more stability for longer uptimes.
I'm heading to Europe on the 22nd for a month! The team is still going to be chugging along and I'm going to be doing what I can with my spare time..!
As this has been in the works for a while, I've planned the next few updates already!
So I'm happy to announce what's coming next update:
Grandmaster ($2,500) will be making it's arrival!
As well as the Ataraxia Premier Club!
Of course along with some other changes that I won't mention just yet :)
