Vardorvis Combat Overview

Max Health: 65,000

Combat Style: Melee

Arena: Vardorvis Arena (Boundary: 1120, 3410 to 1136, 3425)

Basic Mechanics:

Melee Attack: Vardorvis’ standard melee attacks hit for 15 to 40 damage. If the attack lands, Vardorvis heals for 50% of the damage dealt.

Protection Prayer: Protect from Melee reduces damage by 75%.

Special Attacks:

Swinging Axes: Vardorvis summons swinging axes that move across the arena in specific paths, damaging any players caught in their range.

Attack Pattern: Initially 2-3 axes, increasing to 3 axes once Vardorvis reaches 50% health.

Damage: 15-20 damage, reduced by half with Protect from Melee.

Bleed Effect: Players hit by axes receive a bleed effect, dealing damage over 14 ticks. Movement increases the damage from the bleed.

Head Gaze: Vardorvis targets a player and launches a Head Gaze attack that disables their overhead protection prayers if not blocked.

Attack Pattern: The Head Gaze fires a projectile (ID: 1379) toward the player.

Effect: If the player is not protecting from range, their overhead prayers are reset, and their prayer points are halved.

Enrage Phase

When Vardorvis drops below 33% health (21,667 HP), he enters his Enrage Phase, becoming significantly more dangerous:

Increased Attack Speed: Axe and gaze attacks happen more frequently (every 2-3 ticks).

Boosted Stats: Vardorvis’ Defence and Strength levels increase by 35 and 28 points, respectively.

Enrage Dialogue: Vardorvis announces, “Vardorvis is enraged!” upon entering this phase.

Additional Mechanics:

Defense Reduction: Every successful melee hit reduces the player’s Defence stat, progressively weakening them.

Healing: Vardorvis heals for 50% of the damage dealt during his melee attacks.

Fight Strategy Overview

Avoiding Axes: Stay alert and move quickly to avoid the swinging axes. Once the bleed effect is applied, avoid moving unnecessarily to minimize bleed damage.

Prayer Management: Use Protect from Melee to reduce damage, and be prepared to switch to Protect from Missiles during the Head Gaze attack.

Positioning: Keep moving, but avoid being directly in the path of Vardorvis’ special attacks, especially during the Enrage Phase when attacks become more frequent.

Perfect Kill Achievement

To achieve a perfect kill, players must avoid all swinging axes and efficiently manage their prayers during the Head Gaze attack.

Update Notes – Updated delpet Command

In this update, we’ve enhanced the delpet command to not only allow players to delete pets from their collection but also to reset the Roll for Perk Costs back to the default starting value of 1 million Nomad points. This change ensures that players who remove a pet can have a fresh start when they decide to unlock perks for their new pets.

Updated Command: delpet

Command: ::delpet

Function: Permanently deletes the current active pet from the player’s collection with confirmation and resets pet perk costs for the removed pet.

New Features:

  • Confirmation Dialogue: Players will still receive a confirmation dialogue before deleting their pet, ensuring they are sure about their decision.
  • Perk Cost Reset: After deleting a pet, the Roll for Perk Costs for the removed pet is automatically reset to 1 million Nomad points.
  • Automatic Assignment of Next Pet: If the player has additional pets in their collection, the next available pet will automatically become the active pet.
  • Kitten Protection: Kittens cannot be deleted from the collection, providing protection for this unique pet type.

Benefits:

  • Easier Perk Management: By resetting the Roll for Perk Costs, players no longer have to worry about high perk costs if they remove and re-obtain a pet.
  • Clear Pet Collection: Players now have the flexibility to manage their collection by removing pets they no longer wish to keep.
  • Safeguards in Place: Confirmation dialogues and restrictions on certain pets ensure that players do not accidentally remove valuable pets.

Update Notes – Donator Scroll System Enhancement

We have enhanced the Donator Scroll system to allow players to claim all scrolls at once rather than individually. This new feature streamlines the donation process, making it quicker and more efficient for players who have multiple scrolls in their inventory.

New Feature: Claim All Donator Scrolls

How It Works:

  • Claim All Scrolls at Once: Players can claim all scrolls in their inventory at once.
  • Step-by-Step Process: Players initiate the claim process by clicking on any donation scroll and confirming their choice to claim all scrolls.

After claiming all scrolls, the player’s total donation amount is updated, and their rank is recalculated automatically.

Additional Updates

We’ve introduced several changes in this update that enhance gameplay, fix existing bugs, and improve system functionality. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what’s new:

Wilderness Boss: Vet’ion

The Vet’ion boss area has now been converted into a Multi-combat zone, meaning multiple players can now fight the boss at the same time. This change increases the danger, creating more opportunities for PvP combat and making it riskier to take on the wilderness boss.

Fixes & Improvements

  • Full Elite Void Token & Barrows Sets: Both Full Elite Void Tokens and Barrows sets can now be opened properly.
  • Campaign System Fix: The campaign system’s database has been fixed to ensure it correctly updates when contributions are made.
  • Trading Post Fix: Fixed an issue where item prices in the trading post wouldn’t update properly when reposting an item.

NPC & Client Updates

NPC Overrides: Added NPC Overrides and updated sprite map packing for player overheads to ensure smoother visuals and functionality.

Client Enhancements:

  • ClientShutdown Event: Improved handling of Runelite shutdown, ensuring all plugin data is saved properly.
  • Clickbox Calculation: Now supports 1:1 clickbox calculations with OSRS.
  • Widget Types Fixes: Fixed issues with widget types, such as opacity-supported sprites.
  • OSRS Headicons & Skull Icons: Now loading full OSRS headicons and skull icons.
  • Expandable Interfaces: Started supporting expandable interfaces to increase flexibility in future expansions.

Mini Prophet Timer Change

The Mini Prophet, the wandering merchant, now has a 60-second timer (increased from 30 seconds), giving players more time to reach him and grab some limited loot!

We have removed the wrong note ID from the Elder Maul (or).

Judge’s Mystery Box: A new mystery box has been added, containing valuable loot tied to the Judge of Yama.

Adjusted the drop tables for Warden, Sharathteerk, and Sol to provide better balance and rewards.

All $ scrolls are now stackable, and their descriptions have been fixed for clarity.

Hespori Chest Announcement Removal

We’ve also made a change to reduce chat spam. The announcement from the Hespori Chest has been removed due to the high volume of keys players are receiving, which was causing unwanted clutter in the chat box.

This update brings new challenges, rewards, and quality-of-life improvements to your gameplay experience. Prepare yourself for the powerful new Wraith armor set and take on the Judge of Yama!

AFK Check System Update

Players who have spent a total of $500 now no longer receive AFK checks. This change is designed to address AFK-related issues for players who have contributed significant amounts.

While $500 is a high threshold, this system also serves as a prevention method, ensuring that players can’t simply spend $50 to avoid AFK checks and bot within the game.

This update brings new challenges, rewards, and quality-of-life improvements to your gameplay experience. Prepare yourself for the powerful new Wraith armor set and take on the Judge of Yama!
