[expand type=details expanded=false]

**Remaining Getting Around Changes**

- The Perfected Quetzal Whistle has been given the same functionality as the Corrupted Bow of Faerdhinen: charging any Quetzal Whistle now contributes to the infinite Perfected Quetzal Whistle unlock.
- Added a new canoe route along the River Dougne, with 5 new canoe stations:

- Near Castle Wars
- West of Tree Gnome Village
- South of Ardougne Zoo
- East of Chaos Druid Tower
- North of Combat Training Camp

- Made several Agility Shortcuts faster by shortening animations, removing pauses, and allowing stepping stones to be crossed with a single click:

- Draynor to Port Sarim tunnel
- Falador crumbled wall
- Rocks north-west of Corsair Cove
- Kalphite Queen entrance
- Falador fence jump
- Dwarven Mine crevice
- Alchemical Hydra shortcut

- Added a 'Last Destination' right-click option to Spirit Trees, with the exception of Spiritual Fairy Trees in the POH. Selecting this option will teleport you straight to the last location you travelled to using any Spirit Tree.
- Added a toggle to the Lunar return orb so you can choose whether it immediately teleports you on left-click.

**Boat Combat Tweaks**

- Applied a buff to cannons when they are actively _manned by a player,_ ensuring that a player using a cannon is on par to the DPS of traditional combat +2 Crew members using cannons.
- Reduced the HP of some sea creatures, especially for those that are smaller and lower-level, so that they are less tanky and their health is more thematically suitable.
- In relation to the changes above, Bounty Task XP has been reduced by 25% so that the position of Bounty Task within the meta is kept intact.
- Enabled ranged modifiers such as the Void Armour effect and Ranged Prayers to work in cannon combat, meaning your worn ranged gear will now correctly apply its stats to the overall damage.

- Rebalanced the points awarded, increasing them for the end of the game.

- Increased placement points by 1 for the last 9 players standing.
- Increased kill points by 1 for 3 kills and 5 kills.
- This means that the new max points a player can get is now 9 points, in the case that the player places 1st (6 points) and scores 5 or more kills (3 points).
