These Patch Notes were announced on 7 November 2013.

• The following features from Content Poll 12 have been released:
  • The special attack of the Staff of the Dead is now counted as a Magic attack. In places like the Duel Arena, if the combat rules would forbid Magic, you will equally be unable to use this special attack.
  • The Staff of the Dead can now autocast the 'Flames of Zamorak' spell.
  • When you are in your own player-owned house, you will now have a 'Kick' option for expelling unwanted guests.
  • The Accurate combat mode of godswords has been changed from 'Stab' to 'Crush', since godswords have no stab-attack bonus.
  • Godswords will now pop up a confirmation box when you try to dismantle them.
  • The smoke from an incense burner in a player-owned house is now green to make it more visible.
  • Monk robes are now counted as Saradomin items in the God Wars Dungeon.
• When you drop items on death, outside of PvP, the items now appear immediately on the ground, with your tradeable items visible to everybody. We have removed the recent update that delayed their appearance for 3 minutes. Leaving the God Wars Dungeon will now reset your kill-counts too.
• The following bugs have been fixed:
  • Antifire potions are now reset in the Duel Arena at the start of a 'no potions' duel.
  • The teleport tablets from Nightmare Zone previously had no stat requirements or quest requirements for their use. Players had pointed out that this is inappropriate, since they could teleport you to POH portals that you would not have the Construction level to use. Similarly, they could teleport you to Trollheim without completing the Eadgar's Ruse quest that unlocks that spell. These checks have now been added.
  • Various gem-crafting animations no longer interfere with your walk animation.
• The Halloween 2006 event has come to an end and been removed from the game. The login screen has reverted to using the normal flame icons and music, and Death no longer turns up to collect players as they die.
