New Launcher

In order to play RuneX (as of this update) you must install our new official launcher athttps://runex.io/landing/download.php

RuneLite Integration

We now have our own integration of RuneLite on RuneX!

This implementation does not necessarily "inject" it into our client, so we are not releasing all of the plugins you're familiar with all at once.

At the moment, it's releasing with:

• Interact Highlight
  • Provides options for highlighting NPCs and Objects when hovering and/or interacting with them

    

    
    
• Ground Markers
  • SHIFT+Right-click tiles to mark them
  • You may then modify the color, or text overlay for each of these markers!
  • Includes quick options that allow you to clear all markers in a region, etc.

    

    
    
• Hover Descriptions
  • Modifiable colors for hover description boxes
  • Allows you to toggle hover descriptions for your bank and/or inventory (this way descriptions can optionally be read at all times)
  • Includes a NEW toggle feature that displays icon indicators for items that are potential requirements for Mage of Wisdom or Wandering Merchant

    

• Key remapping
  • Allows you to remap camera rotation keys (for example, WASD)
  • When enabled, your chat will also have a "Press Enter to Chat" block (also bypassed via "/" or ":" for easy clan chat and command entries)
    
• NPC Indicators
  • Allows you to enter NPC names (or wildcards/tags of names) to be tagged with indicators
  • In addition, you canSHIFT+RIGHT CLICKindividual NPCs to give them their own custom style/color (outside of your default settings)

    

    
    
• Menu Entry Swapper
  • Allows you to change the left-click or shift-click option foritemsandnpcs
    • When this plugin is enabled, simplySHIFT+RIGHT CLICKan item or NPC to configure the entry swap
    • We can add this for interfaces and objects in the future, but we felt these were priority entities for the time being
  • NOTE: Certain items/npcs (particularly pets) may have limited functionality

    

    
    
• Notifications
  • Allows you to customize various settings fortypesof notifications as well as theirtriggers
  • Optional settings are illustrated from the screenshot below

    

    
    
• Ground Items
  • Allows you to hide specific items by name or wildcard/tag
  • Allows you to change the color of ground item labels (by their rarity tier)
    • Changing the color will also change the color of their "spotlight"
  • Allows you to toggle other features, such as rune coin value display

    

    
    
• Player outlines
  • Display an outline on your character
  • Also provides the option to toggle render self
    
• Tile indicators
  • Various option for displaying your player's tile & hovered tile
    

We plan to add even more plugins in the future, as well as improvements to existing ones!

Nightwinter Event 2023

Runex's Nightwinter event is here until January 19th, 2024

In addition, we've developed a new core that will help us create future events much quicker than before. The goal was to be able to release seasonal events with ease, so we can still focus on actual updates without having to sacrifice one for the other.

Aside from the usual event activities, this season's event includestwoseparate spotlights:

This boss will spit out random loot as you damage it (somewhat like a loot pinata)but also has a final drop table. If you're in a co-op session, the "splash loot" is split 50/50 between players, but both players get their own drop table roll.

There are also three different tiers of Mimic depending on which type of task scroll you earned it from (standard, elite, or master)

In addition to the great loot, Mimic has its own unique epic pets respective to their tier:

• Soul incantations do not count as boss kills (in a general KC sense, and for things such as achievements/recognition)

The main way to obtain souls is through soul boxes and chests via purchase at the Soul Hunter weekly shop (50+ achievements required to purchase.)

You can also acquire certain souls weekly via Cosmic zone (explained further below in this topic)

In addition, there are enhanced souls that are a rare chance via boxes/chests, or obtained via grand promo packages. Enhanced souls give a guaranteed rare from that bosses drop table, with weight distributed to the relative rarity of the item(s).

Collection Log Milestone Rewards

We've added a new reward system to collection logs!

Rather than earning rewards solely from completing an entire collection log, you will now also receive rewards for every 10thentryyou unlock in any collection log.

Every50thentry/item you unlock will also be a special "bonus" reward outside of the repeated reward cycle.

Once you reach 750 entries, you'll receive a Mystery ticket every 50 entries

This works retroactively, meaning your total entries will be counted upon login for players with progress prior to this update

• Respective zone tokens
• Platinum tokens
• Noted point mystery boxes (uncommon)
• Donator mystery boxes (rare)

Each zone's star has slightly improved loot depending on the zone's rank. Charges for these shooting stars are isolated per zone, meaning a player with the highest donator rank can reap the benefit fromeachzone every week by purchasing their weekly charge scrolls.
