Hello everyone and welcome to the 7th Minescape content update of season 9!

This update brings you an Easter event, a new quest, various skill buffs, Hunter skill improvements, bugfixes and QoL changes!

Easter event

Spring is here! The hard working players of Minescape / Craftscape have discovered chocolate-looking eggs all over the world: next to fishing spots, in the mines, hidden in flower fields and even in the pockets of various entities!

These eggs used to belong to Olivia in Draynor but the Stellar Buddies have stole them and left them everywhere... Can you help out Olivia and bring them back some of the missing eggs for a reward?

Monk's Friend

The monk in Ardougne monastery kept yawning all through the last couple of days and citizens are upset... Can you figure out why? Head on over to Ardougne and start this new short quest!

Hunter changes

Hunter has always been a challenging skill, yet the rewards and unlocks have stopped in higher levels. To fix that and other issues, We're adding new hunter monsters, and various other QoL changes

Skillchompas

A new type of hunter creatures started inhabiting the world of Minescape / Craftscape. These new creatures, although similar in looks to chinchompas, are unique and come in 5 different variants:

• Cobalt skillchompa - unlocked at level 27 Hunter
• Viridian skillchompa - unlocked at level 46 Hunter
• Azure skillchompa - unlocked at level 68 Hunter
• Crimson skillchompa - unlocked at level 89 Hunter
• Crystal skillchompa - unlocked at level 97 Hunter

These new creatures buff the speed of harvesting blocks / resources from gathering skills.

Other Hunter changes

Together with the new creatures we are making the following changes to Hunter:

• Implemented barehanded impling catching mechanics:
  If a player hunter level is 10 above the unlock level of an impling, they can catch the impling without a jar or net (outside puro puro). When caught - it automatically gives the items rather than the impling jar.
• Added Magical butterfly net - provides a better catching rate for Implings inside the PuroPuro
• Changed the hunter armor sets to provide a small buff to the catch rate of hunter monsters
• When caught, Hunter creatures now have a small chance of giving the player a cluescroll

Bugfixes & QoL changes

The GamesLabs network team has been listening carefully to player suggestions and bug reports in order to bring you another batch of bugfixes & QoL changes:

Farming:

• Xp obtained from harvesting apples has been increased from 47 to 48 and the time it takes to harvest reduced by 2 seconds
• Xp obtained from harvesting lemons has been increased from 49 to 56
• Xp obtained from harvesting tomatoes has been increased from 59 to 65
• Xp obtained from harvesting sugar has been increased from 66 to 75
• Xp obtained from harvesting corn has been increased from 76 to 85
