Taken from Runescape.com

22 August 2006 - New F2P Prayers, port to port transport and improved Axe

New Prayers for Rangers and Mages
Fantastic new accuracy prayers are now available for rangers and mages! The new prayers boost the accuracy of magical and ranged attacks, equivalent to the 'Reflex' prayers for melee. Only one combat style of prayer can be used at a time, but all of them can be used with the defensive prayers, providing a balance of offense and defence.

Rangers can enjoy the accuracy enhancement of the Sharp Eye, Hawk Eye and Eagle Eye prayers, while mages will find their magical attacks improved by Mystic Lore, Mystic Will and Mystic Might. Not only that, but they are available on our Free-to-play worlds too! Don't delay - visit an ingame altar today!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Charter Ships

Why spend ages walking from one end of the world to the other when you can charter a ship?! Take a cruise with Trader Stan and his crew of fashionably (if uncomfortably) attired sailors. They will carry you from port to port for an affordable fee, and sell you goods available from Port Phasmatys to the far-flung elf lands.

Their ships are docked in many popular places including Catherby, Port Sarim, Mos Le'Harmless, Port Phasmatys and more.

Players wishing to reduce the prices to an even lower rate are advised to prove their sailing credentials, and to use whatever powers of persuasion they can muster.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dragon Axe improved

Until today the dragon axe was only as good at cutting trees as a rune axe. We've now made it slightly better! However we have raised the woodcutting level requirement for chopping trees with this axe to 61.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bugfix for Bone Crossbows

A bug was fixed with the bone crossbow so that it will no longer fire the old pearl and opal tipped bolts. However it can now use bone bolts, all bare metal bolts up to and including iron and also barbed bolts.

Ditto, I've always despised the d axe about cutting at the same speed as rune axe but I'm glad they have improved it.

Axe and ships sound good.

Magic prayers sound ok since lvl doesnt affect damage but range sound fairly useless but if they only add accuracy.

Charter: Awesomeness. I think I can finally get to Mos Le'harmless without doing other quests as i'm already done cabin fever. Offers some quicker transportation to those far away lands.

Axe: Well it's about time. Just stupid having a dragon hatchet that cuts the same as a rune one. Wonder if its fast enough to be worth buying.

Prayers: I was all excited for these but they aren't that great. Nothing special to me. I don't like how the black box under the prayers is so big, just make that small and remove the scroll bar so we can see all the prayers at once.

New Names: The only new name update that I like is the pages. The dagger names are stupid...(p++) instead of (s)...bah.

Overall it's not a bad update. Ships are great, they even sell some items that no other store sells. Prayers are decent, better than nothing. Gives those rangers and mages more power. (not damage power just overall as the prayers make you hit more often). Name changes arent the greatest...daggers should have stayed the same imo.


Edit: Wish Granted by Jagex The prayers are fixed, you can now see them all without a scroll bar.

Don't forget the nifty scary-looking Tyras helmet. That's a plus, too.

One more thing, the rate of inflation of most of these items is rediculous. If you were to sell something like Rune to the shop, it would 'retail' for 300-800K! Be forewarned.

What does Tyras helm do? I saw it in shop but didnt have 5k on me. Looks pretty nifty though.
