Sailing Changes

• Herb Sack, Seed Box and Rune Pouch now all work with looting Sailing creatures. Note that for this to work:
  • Herb Sack and Seed Box must be open.
  • Rune-picking behaviour toggle must be enabled in the Settings, so that the looted runes can be put inside the Rune Pouch if there's already a matching stack of that rune for them to join.

• Added a new NPC called Isles, who can be found wandering outside the bank at Port Roberts. If you've sailed to Grimstone before, speak to Isles and invite him to accompany you there on your boat. Once you enter the Grimstone Dungeon, he'll become available at the Ancient Furnace. There, he can unnote any metal bar that's used for making cannonballs, charging 100 coins per note.
• Casting Telekinetic Grab on defeated seaborne creatures now lets you collect their loot while remaining engaged to the cannon, or to similar facilities. For example, your character will get right back to the cannon after casting the spell without needing to re-click the cannon again.
• The Telekinetic Grab spell now works on Lost Crates too, provided you have the required Sailing level and some space for the crates' contents.

Leagues VI Changes

As Leagues VI: Demonic Pacts continues, we’re back with another round of fixes aimed at removing any major blockers that are hampering your experience. Any future fixes are being carefully prioritised to ensure tasks can be completed, address issues blocking your progression and correct any major outliers with relics.

This means some of the balancing changes you'd hope to see might not make their way into this League, so we're giving everyone another free reset to ensure you can still have fun with different builds and experiment! This will be granted when you open the Pacts interface.

Before we dive into today's fixes we wanted to send a quick thank you to everyone for all the feedback and participation in our most ambitious and experimental feature yet!

As always, you can check out the Leagues VI: Demonic Pacts - Fixes & Issues newspost to see what's already been fixed. Now, let's take a look at the latest round of fixes and improvements:

Sailing Changes

We also have a batch of Sailing adjustments lined up for you, focused on making looting more efficient. Firstly, Herb Sack, Seed Box and Rune Pouch now all work with looting Sailing creatures. Note that for this to work:

• Herb Sack and Seed Box must be open.
• Rune-picking behaviour toggle must be enabled in the Settings, so that the looted runes can be put inside the Rune Pouch if there's already a matching stack of that rune for them to join.

Additionally, to make creating cannonballs at the Ancient Furnace more convenient, we’ve added a new NPC, Isles, who can be found wandering outside the bank at Port Roberts. If you've sailed to Grimstone before, speak to Isles and invite him to accompany you there on your boat. Once you enter the Grimstone Dungeon, he'll become available at the Ancient Furnace. There, he can unnote any metal bar that's used for making cannonballs, charging 100 coins per note.

Moreover, casting Telekinetic Grab on defeated seaborne creatures now lets you collect their loot while remaining engaged to the cannon, or to similar facilities on your boat such as the Salvaging Hook and Trawling Net. Your character will cast the spell and will get right back to the cannon without needing to re-click the cannon again. In a similar vein, Telekinetic Grab now works on Lost Crates too, provided you have the required Sailing level and some space for the crates' contents.
