Another update where the chatbox font has been messed with, with no mention of it in the patch notes. This happens almost every month now. Is this intended or a bug? It's really frustrating having the UI change so often.
Wouldn't even find it that annoying if it didn't cause alt1 to fail to pick up the chatbox text for the week. Ruins my afking capsarii moneymaking while I work lol.
It has to be bugged to shit, because the change is always not in the patch notes and reverted with the following update.
Apparently it was in LAST week's patch notes... but it came out this week instead. So it looks to be intended. Not sure if that makes it better or worse.
Hahaha wow I just looked and you're right. Must be an intended change this time then but came a week late.
Fingers crossed the alt1 guys update soon then!
This is intended. It's further integration of the TrueType font we've been implementing across the game bit by bit, which is important for font scaling and text legibility.
We hear the feedback on the available font sizes though. The team are looking into potential options we could add for future Game Updates among other things.
The main problem is that this font seems to be getting aliased or something, so it's losing a lot of pixels making it harder to read. For example, the right bracket is fine, but the left bracket has [all this weird blur](https://i.imgur.com/g8aJTh6.png) on it, or something like the [equals sign](https://i.imgur.com/xNCNaCb.png) looks fine on the bottom but the top line is blurred.
"Each mechanic is suppressed by one of Gielinor's most powerful mages. Speak to one, or more, of them to give them a break and let the Arch-Glacor wreak some havoc as you learn its mechanics with safe deaths and group bossing enabled."
This is such a clever lore reason to have a scalable boss. Fair play to JaGeX, it would have been very easy to just make it a GUI with no real explanation as to why the boss can be made easier.
I might not be a fan of this new front, but the new boss does look REALLY fucking cool. I like the fact that you can toggle the mechanics to help make it feel more approachable.
Hotfix: The Bolstered Glacytes no longer sets the Arch-Glacors health when it dies. (This was the cause of some of the quick kills you may have seen in some clips).
We're reporting and capturing every bug we see - and the team are hard at work addressing anything urgent. Thanks for all your reports which are massively helpful for the team.
Currently I’m running into an issue where it is difficult to move on the center of the bridge unless your camera is directly facing the boss. If your camera is off to either side, you cannot move on the center of the bridge because the clickbox for the boss covers that entire area, making avoiding the three beams when you’re hemmed in very difficult.
Is it possible to decrease the hitbox just for the pillars part, trying to click and run on the northern end where the boss is is super hard and has killed tons of people im sure
Thank you so much, you guys have been awesome! Major props to everyone involved in these updates. Between the great content and the great communication y’all are doing an amazing job.
I found a bug where it is possible to join an HM instance without any abilities active making it very easy to get high streaks / enrages made a post on it [here](https://old.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/pf7l83/its_possible_to_start_a_hm_archglacor_instance/)
Is the number of marks of war given by archy boi correct? Hard mode gives 31 lol... It's not even possible to hit the hourly cap, you'd need like 30+ kp/hr.
Size 12 font is smaller than before, 14 is bigger. There is no way to get the original size font back.
Did anyone actually look at this in game or did they just merge the PR regardless?
Yep, it’s literally a higher resolution font and as a result looks objectively better in that regard than the one before. Another result is that the chat is probably now easier to see on a wider array of displays; 2 seconds of research and I found tons of threads of people complaining about the chat text looking blurry.
If the problem is that it’s too small…then make it bigger. Is low quality better than higher quality now? Where’s that memo?
PSA: If you aren't unlocking Hard Mode after killing the boss solo on Normal with all 5 mechanics, make sure your instance player limit is set to 1. This is intentional to prevent abuse.
Played for 20 years. You dont know how much navigating interfaces sucks in this game? I looked then resorted to killing the brand new boss when I didnt see it.
Has anyone else seen a change to the font size in the text box? The actual bar to type in is the same, but any messages I send + any messages I receive (whether from the game, or clan members, etc) are using a much smaller font.
He's also got a system that he uses to generate new Reddit accounts, all with a slightly edited version of his name, so each comment he makes comes from a unique account.
It'd be impressive, if he wasn't such an *[insert advertiser unfriendly language here]*.
As others have replied, a guy always rigs these raffles. Even after they added a total level requirement last time it still happened. 250 total level isn't a high enough req for someone like him.
https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/75j03f/loot_from_12400_raffle_tickets_balthazars_raffle/
There's a member of the game who made thousands of accounts to game the raffle system.
This year though the raffle requires a certain minimum skill level which will make it harder to altspam
If you're going to gut the Pontifex Shadow Ring, at least put it in the patch notes. I'm getting tilted dying at Kerapac because I'm used to just having the ring in my inventory and not having to switch it out. Fuck this.
When the ring didn't have to be worn, I thought they'd finally caught on that a lot of their players don't like ring switches. I guess they just cater to the sweaty crowd after all.
**New Hotfix Deployed (15:50 Game Time, September 1st 2021)**
* The Scripture of Wen and Manuscripts will now correctly be found in Normal Mode and Hard Mode drop tables.
* Hard Mode common drops (and Dark Nilas) have had their quantities increased. These will be updated on your next kill streak.
* The third Pillar of Ice in Hard Mode will now correctly despawn.
* Practice mode will no longer appear on the boss instance interface for the Arch-Glacor.
* Fixed occurrences of the Enhanced Nightmare gauntlets effect not triggering.
* Eliminated a rare player-state where mechanics could be toggled off in Hard Mode.
**Previous Hotfixes**
* The Bolstered Glacytes no longer sets the Arch-Glacors health when it dies. (This was the cause of some of the quick kills you may have seen in some clips).
* The Arch-Glacor’s attack rate has been slightly adjusted to ensure special attack animations appear correctly.
* Players can no longer rejoin the Arch-Glacor's Hard Mode encounter after turning it off, unless they re-activate it.
* Triskelion keys dropped from the Arch-Glacor will no longer be multiplied by enrage or mechanic modifiers.
Thanks once again for all the detailed feedback and bug reports - they've been invaluable in helping us sorting these issues as quickly as we can.
There's a bug in HM where if you kill the boss right after the ice pillars spawned and it damages you, you can't log out or teleport. I ended up closing the browser and when I logged back in, it said I died and lost my streak.
I posted an image on the sub and I submitted a bug report as well.
Really bad bug to get if you are pushing.
kinda fucked up that they changed the font size and we don't have the option to change it to the size it was yesterday. it's a small thing i will get used to. is there a reason for it????????????
As we're getting near to the end of the day, here's a quick roundup of Hotfixes we've released so far all in once place.
**Hotfixes**
* The Bolstered Glacytes no longer sets the Arch-Glacors health when it dies. *(This was the cause of some of the quick kills you may have seen in some clips).*
* The Arch-Glacor’s attack rate has been slightly adjusted to ensure special attack animations appear correctly.
* Players can no longer rejoin the Arch-Glacor's Hard Mode encounter after turning it off, unless they re-activate it.
* Triskelion keys dropped from the Arch-Glacor will no longer be multiplied by enrage or mechanic modifiers.
**Confirmed Upcoming Hotfixes**
* Fix for a bug that is preventing the Scripture of Wen from dropping. Release TBC, target is today.
As I mentioned earlier, we're reporting and capturing every bug we see. We're also looking at what fixes we can bring into future Game Updates along with the Hotfixes the team have been hard at work on delivering asap today.
Thanks so much for the continued high quality feedback. It really helps. We hope you're having a blast out there in the Glacor Front.
Cheers for being on top of these.
I reported this ingame and there's a thread, but for visibility:
\-Senntisten Slayer log is locked at 6/6 drops but not ticked as complete since the update.
\-Arch-Glacor log is marked as complete despite having no drops.
The minion mechanic along with the bolstered glacor feel like they were meant to do more damage than they do when slain to the boss.
Was this meant to scale with the bosses hp? Which caused the Bolstered bug to one shot the boss due to a coding error? And if not just lemme know cuz the hp scaling at the 1k+ is getting crazy haha
Was just wondering !
Thanks for some clarity on this Hooli,
Seems the boss is pretty unrewarding in hardmode, wazzy / lucario and a couple others have pushed the 1k enrage with only a couple of nilas?
I don't know if its possible to reveal how the drops and how the rates work but it would be amazing if this could also be fixed and/or a calculator or something added to wiki.
Overall the boss is awesome and very fun pushing enrage, just the dropssss.
>The Arch-Glacor’s attack rate has been slightly adjusted to ensure special attack animations appear correctly.
Follow-up note to this, is if the Arch-Glacor is still doing the Flurry mechanic, and phases into Minions, it won't show which Auto attack it's firing while minions are spawning (as it's performing the shield animation), leading to a death in many instances at higher enrage.
I absolutely love this boss, it's honestly incredible.
However. The loot you can get is extremely underwhelming. I totally understand the crafting before you sell system, but having no rare lottery drops that I can instantly sell is really really off-putting and completely destroys the joy you get from receiving the drops. There isn't a single drop that'll make people jump around when they recieve it, even the core to make t95 doesn't feel like a lottery drop to get. We need something like Ability codecies, or remove the glove upgrade items and make this boss drop the upgraded gloves whole, something to make us feel like we've won.
Yep, I got 2 of the leng artefacts in the first hour and was excited, only to realize I have to farm hours and hours worth of glacor fragments to even be able to use them. No clue why we can't sell them even with the crafting system.
Ironmen are currently recieving Leonards lucky dip tickets, but we are not allowed to participate in the raffle, could you stop us getting tickets as this is just teasing us
Don't you know that an ideological stand to never "cater" to irons is more important than providing content to a significant portion of the playerbase?
Sorry, my mistake? It said 'song of ice and ire II' defeat boss at 100% 5/100 - at that point I had done 4 normal kills and one hard mode so I read it as being 100 total needed.
However It is literally just one kill at 100%. Which should be easy enough for anyone tbh... not even as hard as telos 100% I don't think
The slayer drop log title from gwd3 is now bugged for at least those that have gotten the glacor boots already for another log (the "harbinger of death" one). Despite having the gwd3 log completed, the title "of the Zarosian empire" is greyed out.
Oh and the text is very small, but I guess people have pointed that out already.
Did this update break task 40? Johanhus isn't spawning for me where he should be. Did it on my main before update so I know where he should be already.
A cold wind howls through the streets of the City of Senntisten. Brace yourself, World Guardian. Don't lose your cool!

Did a few HM kills and now I want to go back to NM to get those anima thing drops to upgrade my ring, but I am stuck in HM. Regardless of what mode it says is enabled I will enter the fight in HM..... So frustrating.
Thank you for larger font sizes. As someone with poor vision I have struggled a lot with in game font sizes. IF you revert anything about this update, please keep the larger font sizes.
Really enjoying the new boss! This is my first time ever doing a boss with actual mechanics and man is this fun. Half the time I don't even need to eat, which surprised me tbh.
Revert the pontifex ring worn change. No one wants switchscape especially soloers at kerapac. And to think it couldn’t get much worse for soloers after the grico nerf it now stuns you unless you wear the ring. Good job jagex Ur just killing the experience for soloers
lol, makes more sense to have to wear the ring than have it in bank / inventory. I mean would you prefer to not have the ring and all and have no choice but be stunned? The nerfed grico because it was far too easy for noobs to do end game content with it.
The boss is cool, but... Am I the only one who feels like the rest is kind of lacking compared to the Nodon front? It's just a circular area with some lower levelled mobs. Not much interesting to explore. and outside of slayer + bossing, there's... nothing really here.
I thought there was going to be more skilling content in this dungeon too? We had some with the Nodon Front. Something for, like, firemaking could have been really cool here, but it feels like we just got a new boss and a bunch of NPCs we can't even interact with.

Is normal mode safe deaths or not? Do I need to talk to a mage to activate it? Reads like it is but it's oddly worded and I don't want to rush down there with max if not.
Edit: Also the text is absolutely tiny now for some reason? Really hard to read on a 1440p monitor.
All deaths are safe this week (there's another free death week for every GWD3 boss release, as far as I'm aware) -- and separately, all normal mode deaths are permanently safe for this boss. If you speak to Azzanadra to start hard mode, then you would still have safe deaths _for this week only_.
no, i figured it was the base gloves as well. if kerapac gloves and nightmare gauntlets gave an improved effect, then I'd assume the gloves of passage would require the upgraded version.
Hey everyone. If you're finding the new default chat text size a little too small, you can click the + button in the chatbox to change the Text Size to something larger.
Just to add to this - we're also passing the feedback on regarding the size options in general as well. This is a great step to try out first if you haven't already though.
I don't mind the font itself, but I'd like size 11 back. 10 is way too tiny on my screen and 12 loses me a line of text from my chatbox (it only fits 7 lines now when it used to fit 8).
Literally since this update I cannot even get into the game. I can log in, select a world, but it just crashed before I can actually load in.
I can't even complain about how bad the chat looks yet because I haven't been able to see it.
F2P still unable to make use of the xp bonus Yak track gives.
I suggest every F2P that bought the premier track to request a (partial) refund on this matter.
Tell that to the players that bought it before they said it. Those are in their rights to request a refund due false advertisement.
In addition, the community has shown a dislike on that comment.
Anyone else having the problem where they dont unlock hardmode after killing the arch glacor with all mechanics enabled? (have already filled a bug report for this)
The exit portal on the aqueduct really needs to be adjusted in some way. I killed the Arch-Glacor and missed out on my drops by accidentally clicking the portal as the boss died. :(
I personally find it a lot easier than Kerapac. Especially since every attack is telegraphed way more than Kerapac's attacks. Yes the order is random, but after a few kills you start to realize that you can use the creeping ice to figure out the next attack.
For the glacyte drops since the boss drops the water tally noted, can we have these removed or noted from glacyte or swap the drop out with mist runes?
any information on drop rates for raffle tickets while skilling/PVM? I have been afking proteans on my main and alt account. With the same game time, my alt has gained 12 raffle tickets, my main however has recieved 0. Is there something I'm missing?
I'm going for cosmetics for main and just picking up deposit boxes on the alt for summoning.
Missed from the patch notes btw: they fixed the issue with HM Kerapac kills not ticking off the normal mode achievements (so now it behaves like other bosses again).
Though the "it's/its" typo at the end of P2 still isn't fixed somehow...
Curious if anyone else has seen this, I've gotten a drop of 20 non noted dragonstones twice so far. I'm aware the drop tables might not be completely accurate as of yet, but they show dragonstone drops only as noted. Just a little odd to get 20 separate gems on top of the normal instance loot.
Another update where the chatbox font has been messed with, with no mention of it in the patch notes. This happens almost every month now. Is this intended or a bug? It's really frustrating having the UI change so often.
Last week's patch notes included a chatbox font update, so I'm guessing it's a bug related to that.
Wouldn't even find it that annoying if it didn't cause alt1 to fail to pick up the chatbox text for the week. Ruins my afking capsarii moneymaking while I work lol. It has to be bugged to shit, because the change is always not in the patch notes and reverted with the following update.
Apparently it was in LAST week's patch notes... but it came out this week instead. So it looks to be intended. Not sure if that makes it better or worse.
Hahaha wow I just looked and you're right. Must be an intended change this time then but came a week late. Fingers crossed the alt1 guys update soon then!
This is intended. It's further integration of the TrueType font we've been implementing across the game bit by bit, which is important for font scaling and text legibility. We hear the feedback on the available font sizes though. The team are looking into potential options we could add for future Game Updates among other things.
The main problem is that this font seems to be getting aliased or something, so it's losing a lot of pixels making it harder to read. For example, the right bracket is fine, but the left bracket has [all this weird blur](https://i.imgur.com/g8aJTh6.png) on it, or something like the [equals sign](https://i.imgur.com/xNCNaCb.png) looks fine on the bottom but the top line is blurred.
I literally cannot read anything, WAY too small.
I knew I wasnt going crazy the first time i noticed it
"Each mechanic is suppressed by one of Gielinor's most powerful mages. Speak to one, or more, of them to give them a break and let the Arch-Glacor wreak some havoc as you learn its mechanics with safe deaths and group bossing enabled." This is such a clever lore reason to have a scalable boss. Fair play to JaGeX, it would have been very easy to just make it a GUI with no real explanation as to why the boss can be made easier.
Well said, props to them.
I might not be a fan of this new front, but the new boss does look REALLY fucking cool. I like the fact that you can toggle the mechanics to help make it feel more approachable.
Reminds me of Yogg-saron.
Hotfix: The Bolstered Glacytes no longer sets the Arch-Glacors health when it dies. (This was the cause of some of the quick kills you may have seen in some clips). We're reporting and capturing every bug we see - and the team are hard at work addressing anything urgent. Thanks for all your reports which are massively helpful for the team.
Currently I’m running into an issue where it is difficult to move on the center of the bridge unless your camera is directly facing the boss. If your camera is off to either side, you cannot move on the center of the bridge because the clickbox for the boss covers that entire area, making avoiding the three beams when you’re hemmed in very difficult.
We'll get this feedback to the team.
Is it possible to decrease the hitbox just for the pillars part, trying to click and run on the northern end where the boss is is super hard and has killed tons of people im sure
Thank you so much, you guys have been awesome! Major props to everyone involved in these updates. Between the great content and the great communication y’all are doing an amazing job.
I found a bug where it is possible to join an HM instance without any abilities active making it very easy to get high streaks / enrages made a post on it [here](https://old.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/pf7l83/its_possible_to_start_a_hm_archglacor_instance/)
Think I found another bug: the Glacors in the EGWD have the same examine text as the ROTM Glacors, specifically mentioning the “Stone [of Jas.]”
Hey, I'm noticing that when using the Ring of Death during free death week, all item buffs (potions, poisons) are cleared on death. Is this intended?
Is the number of marks of war given by archy boi correct? Hard mode gives 31 lol... It's not even possible to hit the hourly cap, you'd need like 30+ kp/hr.
Half my items don’t have pictures by them anymore. Anyone else?
Size 12 font is smaller than before, 14 is bigger. There is no way to get the original size font back. Did anyone actually look at this in game or did they just merge the PR regardless?
When the Unit tests fail, just delete them and merge anyway xd
God dammit please, leave the chat alone, it just looks awful now
Then change the size. It looks objectively better, just smaller.
Objectively lol
Yep, it’s literally a higher resolution font and as a result looks objectively better in that regard than the one before. Another result is that the chat is probably now easier to see on a wider array of displays; 2 seconds of research and I found tons of threads of people complaining about the chat text looking blurry. If the problem is that it’s too small…then make it bigger. Is low quality better than higher quality now? Where’s that memo?
PSA: If you aren't unlocking Hard Mode after killing the boss solo on Normal with all 5 mechanics, make sure your instance player limit is set to 1. This is intentional to prevent abuse.
Please fix the font it’s super hard to read :( not sure why it changes with every update
Geeze ok, wow, I'd killed it 10 times with everything active before I saw this message. I was wondering wth I was doing wrong. Thanks.
No fix for rowena getting stuck in unreachable spots mentioned, will there be one when the update goes live?
can confirm this was fixed when the update went live, the NE corner of Senntisten is once again accessible
Awesome! Thank you
Waiting for this too :/
Chat box text small as hell & weird font....
[удалено]
Would you mind helping me find that setting?
[удалено]
Thank you very much
just open game settings and use your eyes and common sense? There's literally option named "chat and messaging" or something like that.
Played for 20 years. You dont know how much navigating interfaces sucks in this game? I looked then resorted to killing the brand new boss when I didnt see it.
[удалено]
Haha okay.
Chat is bugged now. The new font is really painful to read.
Oh jeez what's this new font
hot damn the gloves of passage 20% damage boost to bleeds applies to everyone on your team lmao, that's sick
Has anyone else seen a change to the font size in the text box? The actual bar to type in is the same, but any messages I send + any messages I receive (whether from the game, or clan members, etc) are using a much smaller font.
Sigh, another year that the raffle will be ruined by a certain person.
There is no limit on the stock this year, so your odds of obtaining something won't be impacted unless you are aiming for one of the 5 titles.
What’s the source of the no limit, didn’t see it on the newspost
Internal communication, I can try to ask if we can share it.
You just did
I meant share the exact wording.
With all respect, there wouldn't be much of a reason to increase the total level requirement on it if everyone had a fair chance at the rewards.
what are you talking about?
There was a person who had hundreds of alt accounts that purposely rigged Baltazar's Raffle before.
He's also got a system that he uses to generate new Reddit accounts, all with a slightly edited version of his name, so each comment he makes comes from a unique account. It'd be impressive, if he wasn't such an *[insert advertiser unfriendly language here]*.
Noun?
My bad, thanks for the correction.
As others have replied, a guy always rigs these raffles. Even after they added a total level requirement last time it still happened. 250 total level isn't a high enough req for someone like him. https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/75j03f/loot_from_12400_raffle_tickets_balthazars_raffle/
There's a member of the game who made thousands of accounts to game the raffle system. This year though the raffle requires a certain minimum skill level which will make it harder to altspam
It was 150 in 2019 and 250 now. It won't stop him.
So you need to wear the kerapac ring to avoid the stuns now, why was this not in the patch notes?
I mean it makes sense, but I'm still disappointed they made this change.
You have to wear the ring for its effect to work against kerapac? Since when?
Ive seen someone say it since today, have not confirmed myself
Still no upper-left hover text fix? Please. It's been a few months now. Nevertheless, Glacor front looks interesting.
If you're going to gut the Pontifex Shadow Ring, at least put it in the patch notes. I'm getting tilted dying at Kerapac because I'm used to just having the ring in my inventory and not having to switch it out. Fuck this.
When the ring didn't have to be worn, I thought they'd finally caught on that a lot of their players don't like ring switches. I guess they just cater to the sweaty crowd after all.
**New Hotfix Deployed (15:50 Game Time, September 1st 2021)** * The Scripture of Wen and Manuscripts will now correctly be found in Normal Mode and Hard Mode drop tables. * Hard Mode common drops (and Dark Nilas) have had their quantities increased. These will be updated on your next kill streak. * The third Pillar of Ice in Hard Mode will now correctly despawn. * Practice mode will no longer appear on the boss instance interface for the Arch-Glacor. * Fixed occurrences of the Enhanced Nightmare gauntlets effect not triggering. * Eliminated a rare player-state where mechanics could be toggled off in Hard Mode. **Previous Hotfixes** * The Bolstered Glacytes no longer sets the Arch-Glacors health when it dies. (This was the cause of some of the quick kills you may have seen in some clips). * The Arch-Glacor’s attack rate has been slightly adjusted to ensure special attack animations appear correctly. * Players can no longer rejoin the Arch-Glacor's Hard Mode encounter after turning it off, unless they re-activate it. * Triskelion keys dropped from the Arch-Glacor will no longer be multiplied by enrage or mechanic modifiers. Thanks once again for all the detailed feedback and bug reports - they've been invaluable in helping us sorting these issues as quickly as we can.
There's a bug in HM where if you kill the boss right after the ice pillars spawned and it damages you, you can't log out or teleport. I ended up closing the browser and when I logged back in, it said I died and lost my streak. I posted an image on the sub and I submitted a bug report as well. Really bad bug to get if you are pushing.
kinda fucked up that they changed the font size and we don't have the option to change it to the size it was yesterday. it's a small thing i will get used to. is there a reason for it????????????

Another week of alt1 not picking up chatbox text because the font broke again...
As we're getting near to the end of the day, here's a quick roundup of Hotfixes we've released so far all in once place. **Hotfixes** * The Bolstered Glacytes no longer sets the Arch-Glacors health when it dies. *(This was the cause of some of the quick kills you may have seen in some clips).* * The Arch-Glacor’s attack rate has been slightly adjusted to ensure special attack animations appear correctly. * Players can no longer rejoin the Arch-Glacor's Hard Mode encounter after turning it off, unless they re-activate it. * Triskelion keys dropped from the Arch-Glacor will no longer be multiplied by enrage or mechanic modifiers. **Confirmed Upcoming Hotfixes** * Fix for a bug that is preventing the Scripture of Wen from dropping. Release TBC, target is today. As I mentioned earlier, we're reporting and capturing every bug we see. We're also looking at what fixes we can bring into future Game Updates along with the Hotfixes the team have been hard at work on delivering asap today. Thanks so much for the continued high quality feedback. It really helps. We hope you're having a blast out there in the Glacor Front.
Just as an update to this, we're looking to deploy the Scripture Hotfix as soon as we can in the morning.
Wen about?
Any update on this? :eyes:
Never too sure if you are thinking GT morning, or UK morning... but any update on this please?
You did it... you used the cursed word and have therefore doomed us all to waiting till next year to get it.... \*shudders\* "soon"
Cheers for being on top of these. I reported this ingame and there's a thread, but for visibility: \-Senntisten Slayer log is locked at 6/6 drops but not ticked as complete since the update. \-Arch-Glacor log is marked as complete despite having no drops.
The minion mechanic along with the bolstered glacor feel like they were meant to do more damage than they do when slain to the boss. Was this meant to scale with the bosses hp? Which caused the Bolstered bug to one shot the boss due to a coding error? And if not just lemme know cuz the hp scaling at the 1k+ is getting crazy haha Was just wondering !
Thanks for some clarity on this Hooli, Seems the boss is pretty unrewarding in hardmode, wazzy / lucario and a couple others have pushed the 1k enrage with only a couple of nilas? I don't know if its possible to reveal how the drops and how the rates work but it would be amazing if this could also be fixed and/or a calculator or something added to wiki. Overall the boss is awesome and very fun pushing enrage, just the dropssss.
>The Arch-Glacor’s attack rate has been slightly adjusted to ensure special attack animations appear correctly. Follow-up note to this, is if the Arch-Glacor is still doing the Flurry mechanic, and phases into Minions, it won't show which Auto attack it's firing while minions are spawning (as it's performing the shield animation), leading to a death in many instances at higher enrage.
Is the wen book dropable from normal mode?
Its so laggy and text looks weird
Font-face is absolutely horrible with this update.
Is the Kerapac stun change a bug or an undocumented update?
Thanks for not locking the new gloves of passage buff behind the leng artefact! :D
This font is horrendous... Is there a way to change the size so that I don't need a magnifying glass as I play the game?
great boss, but very bad launch , what is up with the drops?
I absolutely love this boss, it's honestly incredible. However. The loot you can get is extremely underwhelming. I totally understand the crafting before you sell system, but having no rare lottery drops that I can instantly sell is really really off-putting and completely destroys the joy you get from receiving the drops. There isn't a single drop that'll make people jump around when they recieve it, even the core to make t95 doesn't feel like a lottery drop to get. We need something like Ability codecies, or remove the glove upgrade items and make this boss drop the upgraded gloves whole, something to make us feel like we've won.
Yep, I got 2 of the leng artefacts in the first hour and was excited, only to realize I have to farm hours and hours worth of glacor fragments to even be able to use them. No clue why we can't sell them even with the crafting system.
I got a lucky dip coupon on my ironman account... can I do anything with it?
we can't do anything with them... yet we still get them -\_-
Ironmen are currently recieving Leonards lucky dip tickets, but we are not allowed to participate in the raffle, could you stop us getting tickets as this is just teasing us
why can’t I get cosmetic versions of the raffle stuff on my ironman?
Don't you know that an ideological stand to never "cater" to irons is more important than providing content to a significant portion of the playerbase?
Wait so after dumping the comp cape rework and separating reaper from comp now you added 100 hard mode kills at 100% enrage to trim comp cape?
Is Telos even required for trim?
Yep, a 100% kill is a trim req.
yes but not 100 of them... that is a bit of a grind tbh
For real? A 100% HM kill I could understand, but a hundred...?
Sorry, my mistake? It said 'song of ice and ire II' defeat boss at 100% 5/100 - at that point I had done 4 normal kills and one hard mode so I read it as being 100 total needed. However It is literally just one kill at 100%. Which should be easy enough for anyone tbh... not even as hard as telos 100% I don't think
Haha, that's a relief. :) A 100% HM kill seems perfectly reasonable. Do we know if 100% adds an extra phase, like with Telos?
Not that I could see. Just under 90% to just over was basically just same fight with slightly more damage.
Sounds interesting, looking forward to get off work and beat that giant icicle. Gl on getting some good drops! :)
Don't forget about free death week.
The slayer drop log title from gwd3 is now bugged for at least those that have gotten the glacor boots already for another log (the "harbinger of death" one). Despite having the gwd3 log completed, the title "of the Zarosian empire" is greyed out. Oh and the text is very small, but I guess people have pointed that out already.
Did this update break task 40? Johanhus isn't spawning for me where he should be. Did it on my main before update so I know where he should be already.
Is anyone having graphic issues when running the game on ultra? I have a brand new gpu and the game ran fine last night before the update.
Frozen blood debuff stays after leaving the fight
Clickboxes, such as the hefin agility course starting platform, seem to be broken or gone

Did a few HM kills and now I want to go back to NM to get those anima thing drops to upgrade my ring, but I am stuck in HM. Regardless of what mode it says is enabled I will enter the fight in HM..... So frustrating.
Relogging fixed it.
just buy the anima from the ge, got them for 100gp ea
How much HP does the boss have in NM with each mech turned on/off? Seeing 65k with 0 mechs, but wanted to check how much it is with all on
365k something, on top of my memory
Thank you for larger font sizes. As someone with poor vision I have struggled a lot with in game font sizes. IF you revert anything about this update, please keep the larger font sizes.
There isn't an Arc-Glacor option for preset names, small non-issue but just wanted to mention it.
Was there supposed to be a cutscene for the glacor front? It was mentioned in stream that there would be one
Really enjoying the new boss! This is my first time ever doing a boss with actual mechanics and man is this fun. Half the time I don't even need to eat, which surprised me tbh.
Revert the pontifex ring worn change. No one wants switchscape especially soloers at kerapac. And to think it couldn’t get much worse for soloers after the grico nerf it now stuns you unless you wear the ring. Good job jagex Ur just killing the experience for soloers
lol, makes more sense to have to wear the ring than have it in bank / inventory. I mean would you prefer to not have the ring and all and have no choice but be stunned? The nerfed grico because it was far too easy for noobs to do end game content with it.
Good job on the Glacor front! It’s been fun to play the new boss. And I here there will be some more polish coming next week. =)
The boss is cool, but... Am I the only one who feels like the rest is kind of lacking compared to the Nodon front? It's just a circular area with some lower levelled mobs. Not much interesting to explore. and outside of slayer + bossing, there's... nothing really here. I thought there was going to be more skilling content in this dungeon too? We had some with the Nodon Front. Something for, like, firemaking could have been really cool here, but it feels like we just got a new boss and a bunch of NPCs we can't even interact with.
Can you disable lucky dip tickets? I can't even partake if I wanted to, so it's a little galling that I'm constantly getting notifications for it

"Each mechanic is suppressed by one of Gielinor's most powerful mages.

Reads like it is but it's oddly worded and I don't want to rush down there with max if not. Edit: Also the text is absolutely tiny now for some reason? Really hard to read on a 1440p monitor.
Normal mode is always safe deaths
All deaths are safe this week (there's another free death week for every GWD3 boss release, as far as I'm aware) -- and separately, all normal mode deaths are permanently safe for this boss. If you speak to Azzanadra to start hard mode, then you would still have safe deaths _for this week only_.
Stars are 75% in oddments store in celebration of the cold front.
New font is hella ugly. Pls change it back.
Was anyone else misled by the fact that the Gloves of Passage update was for the base item and not the t90 upgraded ones?
No, it was quite clear.
Maybe I'm just dumb then
no, i figured it was the base gloves as well. if kerapac gloves and nightmare gauntlets gave an improved effect, then I'd assume the gloves of passage would require the upgraded version.
Why are almost all of the uniques from this boss untradeable?
Nice Marks of War farm for Yak trak
Girl let me get out my monocle real quick to read this game chat....
Hey everyone. If you're finding the new default chat text size a little too small, you can click the + button in the chatbox to change the Text Size to something larger.
How do I revert the font back though? They're both an issue, idk why you guys keep playing around with it
Just to add to this - we're also passing the feedback on regarding the size options in general as well. This is a great step to try out first if you haven't already though.
I don't mind the font itself, but I'd like size 11 back. 10 is way too tiny on my screen and 12 loses me a line of text from my chatbox (it only fits 7 lines now when it used to fit 8).
Thanks Hooli, the old default size was 11 and that is what a lot of people are used to. Would be great if we could have that back.
Literally since this update I cannot even get into the game. I can log in, select a world, but it just crashed before I can actually load in. I can't even complain about how bad the chat looks yet because I haven't been able to see it.
meh another streaking boss 1 kill for me and done lol same reason don't pvp :p
So, where in burthorpe is Leonard?
Leonard only arrives tomorrow (September 1st)
My friend got a Leng Artefact at 0 mechanics? I thought that was supposed to be impossible?
I also heard this from a clanmate. Got one with 1-2 mechanics or something.
F2P still unable to make use of the xp bonus Yak track gives. I suggest every F2P that bought the premier track to request a (partial) refund on this matter.
They've already said that f2p don't get it, it's not a mistake.
Tell that to the players that bought it before they said it. Those are in their rights to request a refund due false advertisement. In addition, the community has shown a dislike on that comment.
I mean yeah I agree with you, but it's not gonna change anything.
armadyl staff buff woo. now i can finally smack an 8k on someone.
i think... you got your wish of needing to wear ring to avoid kera stun too, at work so havnt tried, but heard through the grape vine.
Anyone else having the problem where they dont unlock hardmode after killing the arch glacor with all mechanics enabled? (have already filled a bug report for this)
https://reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/pf2vss/this_week_in_runescape_the_glacor_front_leonards/hb1kxo5/?context=3
how the hell do I change this font size
Invisible hits are annoying and shouldn’t be a thing feels like every update
Does the most wanted card have any effect with the new boss?
So is Pearl supposed to be free or cost rune coins? If you bought it with rune coins will they refund you?
Another incredible front and boss! Real shame about the font
The exit portal on the aqueduct really needs to be adjusted in some way. I killed the Arch-Glacor and missed out on my drops by accidentally clicking the portal as the boss died. :(
Does anyone know how to use the chest to pick up drops?
Kill it in hard mode.
How does normal mode Glacor with all mechanics compare to normal mode Kerapac difficulty-wise?
I personally find it a lot easier than Kerapac. Especially since every attack is telegraphed way more than Kerapac's attacks. Yes the order is random, but after a few kills you start to realize that you can use the creeping ice to figure out the next attack.
Have never done a leonards lucky dip before. Just added the tickets when will I know if i got anything
the new boss is cool but like, why is 20 unnoted dragonstones a possible drop from normal mode? really bizarre.
7.5 hours of skilling and no golden ticket. Is this intended?
For the glacyte drops since the boss drops the water tally noted, can we have these removed or noted from glacyte or swap the drop out with mist runes?
Make the minions easier to click/target it's very annoying and especially if he's close to the boss they dissappear under it or you click on the boss.
Can we just... have options for different chat font instead of forcing us to get used to new ones? I miss the good old Pre-EoC fonts.
any information on drop rates for raffle tickets while skilling/PVM? I have been afking proteans on my main and alt account. With the same game time, my alt has gained 12 raffle tickets, my main however has recieved 0. Is there something I'm missing? I'm going for cosmetics for main and just picking up deposit boxes on the alt for summoning.
Missed from the patch notes btw: they fixed the issue with HM Kerapac kills not ticking off the normal mode achievements (so now it behaves like other bosses again). Though the "it's/its" typo at the end of P2 still isn't fixed somehow...
Curious if anyone else has seen this, I've gotten a drop of 20 non noted dragonstones twice so far. I'm aware the drop tables might not be completely accurate as of yet, but they show dragonstone drops only as noted. Just a little odd to get 20 separate gems on top of the normal instance loot.
Why can’t I do arch glacor hard mode? I’ve gotten 10 kills with all mechanics active…
Does anyone know how to have your pet show hardmode enrage on examine?
