Feedback Update: Temple at Senntisten

December 8th, 2009

Greetings! Last week saw an epic change in the story of Gielinor and now it's time for us to take another look at it. First up, we've corrected the entry in the Knowledge Base that wrongly said you can't use Turmoil and Soul Split at the same time. As many players noticed, you can, so apologies for that! We've managed to remove some other bugs and stop the potentially dangerous glitch where you couldn't move while certain prayer animations were running - this has no been sorted so you can run and look good at the same time! Sticking with prayers, we've seen some great ideas for more prayer animations - for both old and new prayer books - and so we thought we'd add them to the game itself. Check them out next time you use either regular prayers or the Ancient Curses. The logo for the regular spellbook Protect Item prayer has been updated to match the existing curse one. If you've finished the Temple at Senntisten, be sure to take a look. Finally, we've graphically updated Barrows to keep the whole of the quest nice and atmospheric. That's about it but be sure to have a great RuneScape, wherever you are!

Prayer Animations
With the update, all prayers (new and old) received new animations when activated.

Regular Prayers
Before this feedback update, no regular prayers had animations although some had 2D sprites, so all the prayers received new animations. The regular prayer book has the following animations:


 * Thick Skin/Rock Skin/Steel Skin
 * The player's skin turns thicker/rocky/steel and glows grey/red/purple for a second
 * Burst of Strength/Superhuman Strength/Ultimate Strength

 * Mystic Will/Mystic Lore/Mystic Might
 * The player puts their fingers to their temples, like their focusing, and glows grey/red/purple for a second
