New skill: Construction Construction is the twentieth skill. You build furniture for your Holding, the plot of land beside your character, and the building itself is the reward: no item is minted, the experience is the product. It is also the first real use planks have ever had, alongside two new Smithing products, nails and gold leaf, Fifty repeatable pieces run from an oak chair at level 1 to…
Fixes · Hover text and dropdown menus no longer get their right edge cut off where they run past the overlay's clickable area. This one kept coming back, because the hover text Windows draws is not something the game holds on to, so it could never be added to the list of things the overlay checks. It is now handled for every tooltip and every dropdown at once, including any added later. · Melee…
Leaderboards · The Global board now opens on Autoclickers hidden. All scores is one click away, and whichever view you pick is remembered between sessions. · This hides accounts that have been flagged. It does not check the ones that are left, so unflagged does not mean verified. · Auto-input is still allowed. No scores were reset or rolled back. · Ranked below the top 100? Your own row is now…
New skill: Firemaking Firemaking is a new production skill. Each input burns one log for experience and produces that log's own ash. The recipe ladder matches Woodcutting, so any log you can chop you can burn: oak at level 1, willow 15, maple 30, yew 45, magic 60, elder 80. Burning a log gives 1.5x the experience cutting it gave, which makes it the largest use Woodcutting has ever had. Each tie…
New skill: Herblore Herblore is a new production skill built around brewing combat potions. Herbs come out of the ground unidentified, so the first step is sorting them: grind a pile of mystery leaves and each one resolves into a random clean herb, the rarest showing up about once in eighty thousand sifts. From there you brew, one clean herb plus an empty vial plus a secondary ingredient into a…
The Lumber Stall, back in line The Lumber Stall had been slipping you Bird's Nests, and its rarest logs, far more often than it ever should, well past the rate you would turn them up out woodcutting. That is corrected now. The nest goes back to being the prize it was meant to be, and the top-tier logs keep their worth, so neither one gets undercut by a low-level stall. In your language The Pray…
Prayer A brand new skill joins the lineup. Bury the bones your enemies drop to train Prayer, anything from common bones up to dragon and abyssal bones, with the rarer drops worth far more experience. Unlock altars as you climb, a gold sink that multiplies the experience every bone gives you. There are three altars to work toward, each a steeper investment than the last. In combat your prayers d…
Smithing, rebuilt The midgame Smithing grind was the worst offender in the game, and this update tears it down. Metal bars no longer need logs as fuel. You smelt with ore, plus coal from steel on up, and nothing else. Forging tools, weapons, and armor no longer needs planks at all. If you want a chestplate, you need bars, full stop. No side trips through Woodcutting and Crafting just to start s…
Play in your language RuneClick is now fully translated into Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Pick your language in Settings and the whole game switches over live, no restart needed. Every skill, item, enemy, menu, and tooltip reads in your language. Cosmetic tool finishes A new way to spend your hard-earned gold at the top of the game. Unlock the Gil…
XP rates adjusted Gathering and production grant more XP per action than they did in v2.0. Your existing XP and levels carry over, with the same effort credited under the new rates. Steam no longer blacks out The Steam client stays responsive when RuneClick launches and when you alt-tab between them. Big thanks to Mr. Vorx & Kaptain Kuddles for the bug report! Always-on-top sticks RuneClick sta…
Level-up fireworks Hitting a new level used to ping a one-line notification and that was it. Your character now gets framed with a burst of fireworks whenever a level pops. The fireworks fan out across the upper canvas in a staggered burst over about a second and a half, varied colors per pop. Level up several times in one big XP gain and you get one celebration per level. Shop reset timer The…
The in-game guide A new Guide button on the menu opens a full in-game reference. Skills tab shows every resource, recipe, and piece of gear for the selected skill, with their level requirements. Runecraft has its own breakpoint table so you can see exactly when each rune starts doubling and tripling. Right-click any skill icon to jump straight to its guide page. Monsters tab shows enemy stats a…
Steam navigation freeze The Steam client UI would freeze while RuneClick was running. The 2.0 canvas spans the entire virtual desktop so multi-monitor character dragging works, and Steam's "fullscreen game running" heuristic was classifying that as a fullscreen game and suppressing its own UI rendering. The game's window now flags itself as a tool window so Steam doesn't make that mistake. You…
RuneClick 2.0 is live. The Combat Update is in your client on next Steam restart. If you came to RuneClick for chopping trees and mining ore, all of that still works exactly the same. Combat is optional. If you came for something bigger, this is what you've been waiting for. Three combat styles Melee, Ranged, and Magic each show up in the active-skill row alongside the existing six gathering an…
Hey everyone, quick update on what I've been working on since 1.0.4 shipped. I've been busy. RuneClick 2.0 is almost here. I've been calling it the Combat Update internally and that's still the right name. It's by a wide margin the biggest update the game has ever had. The screenshot above is a real shot from the current dev branch. Here's what you're looking at. What's in the screenshot Stats…
Settings now shows your leaderboard status A new Leaderboards section in Settings shows whether your account is Clean, Verified, Filtered, or Submitted for review. Filtered means the autoclicker filter has flagged you, and players who turn the filter on won't see your scores. Clean and Verified both mean your scores show up normally. If you've been filtered and you don't actually use autoclicke…
Filter autoclickers on leaderboard Some accounts have been posting leaderboard scores at rates only possible through 24/7 automated input. The most common complaint since launch is that those scores discourage players going at a real pace. The leaderboard panel now has a checkbox: "Filter autoclickers." Off by default. When you turn it on, accounts the server has flagged are hidden, and the vis…
Workshop upload fix If you used the in-game "Upload to Workshop" button on Windows, the resulting Workshop item came out empty (zero files, "Build for workshop item has no content" in the Steam log). Cause: Godot was passing forward-slash paths to Steam's UGC content scanner, which uses Win32 file APIs that can't enumerate folders given Unix-style separators on Windows. Steam silently produced…
Controller support Any gamepad button or trigger pull counts as an input from any application, the same way keyboard and mouse already do. Tested with PlayStation 5 (DualSense) and Xbox controllers. Menu navigation activates when your mouse cursor is over the RuneClick window. This intentional gate prevents accidental menu actions when you have a controller plugged in for another game. Settings…
Future updates are free. No DLC, no expansion packs, no premium currency. I don't have hard timelines on any of this. I have a day job and this is spare-time work. Everything below is on the list, without dates. Woodcutting and Fishing rare drops Mining has uncut gems. Woodcutting and Fishing don't have equivalents. The code for per-skill rare drops is already in the game. I just need to decide…
