##### Changelog - January 21st

[expand type=details expanded=false]

**Holy Moley, the Hooded Slayer Helm is Here!**

- You can now combine the Holy Sandals and Mole Slippers into Holy Moleys!

- With the Holy Sandals and Mole Slippers in your inventory, visit Wyson in Falador Park and speak to him to combine them.

- You can now combine the Slayer Skillcape Hood and the Slayer Helmet or Slayer Helmet (i) into the Hooded Slayer Helmet!

- Visit any Slayer Master to unlock the Absolutely Slayin' option at the Slayer Rewards Shop for 1,000 points.

**Sailing Tweaks & Fixes**

- Last Wednesday, we hotfixed an issue where storing a Rosewood Blowpipe in the Brittle Isle STASH unit could delete the darts it was loaded with, and any lost darts were returned to impacted accounts. As a result of this initial fix, you could only store an empty Rosewood Blowpipe in that STASH unit. This week, we've deployed a coldfix so that you can store the Rosewood Blowpipe with darts loaded once again. Apologies for the inconvenience this has caused and thank you for bearing with us in the meantime!
- Increased the capacity of the Seed Vault up to 104, giving you room to store the new seeds, saplings and corals added with Sailing.
- The Humidify spell now works on the new seeds from Sailing as well, which are Camphor, Ironwood and Rosewood seeds.
- The Red Reef - a planned future quest for Sailing that passed the poll - no longer shows up in the new-style Skill Guide interface.
- Lost crates that are occasionally found at sea will now update the Collection Log if they give you something cloggable, such as the Dragon Sword.

**Permanent Deadman Changes**

In preparation for Deadman: Annihilation dropping next week, we've got some changes to Permanent Deadman (World 45), featuring:

- Stockpiling charms now apply to a wider variety of activities, including:

- Wintertodt
- Tempoross
- Guardians of the Rift
- Golden nuggets from Motherlode Mine
- Pizazz points
- Tithe Farm
- Barbarian Assault
- Brimhaven Agility
- Giants' Foundry
- Hallowed Sepulchre
- Chompy Bird hunting

- The Emblem Trader now sells various Deadman: Annihilation Quest lamps that can be used to automatically complete a number of Quest storylines.
- Godwars KC will no longer be reset when leaving.
- Kylie Minnow's fishing platform now has an entry fee of 100,000 GP, to try and add some risk that discourages would-be botters.
- Two new uniques have been added to breaches, the Trinket of Avarice and the Trinket of Fortuity.
- The PJ timer has been updated to match the Deadman: Annihilation PJ timer of 24 ticks.

**Update on the Legacy Java Client**

- As part of our ongoing efforts to reduce illicit activity such as botting, the Legacy Java Client will be discontinued as a stand-alone option, starting _next Wednesday, January 28th_. This will also allow us to better focus on improving the Official Client.
- This won’t affect players using third-party clients like RuneLite or HDOS.
