**Hitlist is back and filled with Quality of Life updates, we are also lifting the Necromancy embargo!**

Hitlist is back! Last month we asked you to submit your suggestions for the next round of Community Hitlist changes. We are still currently going through the bounteous feedback, so to tide you over, today’s update includes a few things that weren’t ready for the end of last year – but are ready now!

This time around the team have been smoothing out Fire Spirits, making improvements to the Player Owned Farm, giving various animals graphical updates, adjusting the Herb and Gem bags to work with noted items, enabling players to move the central information box from the middle of the screen, tweaking deathtouched darts to work on a few more bosses and making improvements to the fletching bench in the Fort's workroom.

Phew! And that's not all of it, either.... Check out the patch notes below for the full list of changes!

Our [combat beta](https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/combat-beta-launch--community-hitlist-strike---this-week-in-runescape) has been in full swing since November and we are pushing a new beta patch out starting on **Thursday January 25th**!

 We're polishing changes that will be making their way into the live game in the near future but we need your help: We want you to jump in and do battle with your favourite foes. It doesn't matter if you are a slayer master who speedruns tasks with your melee build or you're a budding mage who has been finding their feet, whoever you are we want to hear from you about these changes.

Dive into the beta on Thursday and try out your usual combat scenarios and let us hear from you on how they **play **and _feel _with these changes under your belt!

We will have more details on how you can share your experiences with the beta on **Thursday January 25th **as we will make a post when it launches!

Since Necromancy's cold embrace enraptured the world of Gielinor, we've seen so many of you master a brand-new Combat Style and we've been delighted to follow your journeys to become the most powerful Necromancers around.

From today, we're lifting the embargo on Necromancy to help those of you looking to give an extra nudge to your progression to be combat-ready.

Players will be able to use experience granting items (such as Lamps and Stars) with Necromancy, along with all other experience granting systems that are available to all other skills!

We absolutely loved partnering with Makeship last year to bring you adorable RuneScape plushies – so much that we’re following up with a new, Dragon-themed menagerie ready for the new lunar year!

You can pre-order these draconic (_and _iconic) plushies right now to add to your ever-growing collection. Check out our store page at the Makeship website here: [https://www.makeship.com/shop/creator/runescape](https://www.makeship.com/shop/creator/runescape)

**Starts January 23th | Ends January 24th | Genie's Wishes**

Be careful what you wish for... you might just get it! Find Karima in your chest to make your wish come true – or enhance your next wish for even greater rewards!

**Starts January 25th | Ends January 29th | Soul Showdown**

It's time for a showdown between good and evil! Necromancers from both sides will be duking it out on behalf of Death and Rasial.

 Spend keys to attack the Necromancers and earn Sigils based on which you defeat. They can then be exchanged for their unique outfits and weapons! Occasionally a defeated Necromancer will be replaced by either Death or Rasial, and you get two Sigils for defeating these mightiest of foes!

 Collecting a whole set will reward you with a themed Conjure override – either the Ghul Guardian Zombie or Soul Reaver Skeleton Warrior!

##### Update to Oddment Generation

With today's update we are making some alterations to Oddments generated via Keys and Treasure Hunter reward conversions.

- Increased Oddment Key Daily Purchase Limit from 10 to 15
- Base Oddments awarded per key reduced
