**Deadman: Annihilation Tweaks**

- Breaches now award points to the top 100 damage dealers per Breach NPC (up from 16).
- Fixed a bug where the Deadman's Chests were taking longer to open than they should in both Single- and Multi-way combat areas.
- Removed the limit on Starter Kit reclaims for non-PvP deaths. You can now receive an unlimited amount of Starter Kits from the Combat Tutors in Lumbridge, or Burger Brunsen at the Grand Exchange.

- We're also converting the Chronicle pages you'd receive into charges already stored in the Chronicle.

- Reduced the strength of Zemouregal’s summons from 300 to 150.

- We’ve slightly reduced the damage dealt by the Yama boulder across all brackets. In the 3-60 bracket specifically, the boulder’s damage will now max between 20 and 30, while in all other brackets it will max between 30-60.
- Ancient Warrior equipment can now be bought and sold on the Grand Exchange.
- Scroll of Redirection can be bought from the Emblem Trader, located the north of the Grand Exchange. This allows you to complete the Desert Medium Diary task, if you wish to.
-  If you have Level 80 Thieving and then pickpocket a Hero in Ardougne, it'll complete the diary task.
- The descriptions for the Sigil of Nature and Enhanced Harvest have been updated to make clear that they don't work at Tithe Farm.
- Fixed a visual issue when opening the Trinket of Advanced Weaponry, the weapons should be easier to see.

- Guards no longer spawn in the Unkah area.

**Sailing Updates**

- Gryphon tasks are more common. See further down the blog for the details.
- Introduced an optional task extension for 50 Slayer points: Gryphon and on. This adds a flat +80 kills to the task you're assigned, making the Gryphon tasks more impactful once you get them.
- Belle's Folly is now more common, dropping at a rate of 1/256 instead of 1/400.
- Shellbane Gryphon Combat Achievements are here! Check out the details further down in the blog.
- Facility Bottles are now purchasable from Shipwright Seb for 75,000 GP each.

- They're also now more common across their existing salvaging sources.
- Additionally, we've added Facility Bottles to the loot table of Opulent Salvage from Merchant Shipwrecks.

- Added the new logs from Sailing (which are Camphor, Ironwood and Rosewood logs) to the loot tables of the salvage from the Mercenary and Fremennik shipwrecks.
- You can now hunt Red Salamanders on Charred Island without any issues.

**Getting Around Poll Changes**

- Eluned will now recharge Teleport Crystals regardless of how many charges they currently have.  Note that this will still cost the full amount, even though it may not be charging from empty to full.

- Teleport Crystals now recharge up to 3 charges by default, or 5 charges if you’ve completed the Western Provinces Hard Diary.

- Using a charged Quetzal Whistle now opens the Quetzal Transport interface immediately.

- You can select your destination directly, provided it’s unlocked.
- Added a 'Last Destination' option, teleporting you to the last travelled Quetzal site if there's one, allowing for quick repeat travel.
- You can toggle whether the whistle sends you straight to the Hunter Guild or opens the destination selection menu, which is on by default.

- Improved the level progression of Spirit Trees by spreading them more evenly across Farming levels, as follows:

- Level 83: 1 Spirit Tree
- Level 88: 2 Spirit Trees
- Level 93: 3 Spirit Trees
- Level 96: 4 Spirit Trees
- Level 99: Unlimited Spirit Trees
