Remember when they used to count down to Christmas with shopping days? That was before EVERY day was a shopping day. Not that anyone goes to the high street to shop anymore, of course. Regardless, if you want a proper metric to measure the rapidity of the festive approach then how's this - after today there are only TWO more weekly newsposts before we wind down the website clock for Christmas! None of which means Gielinor is slowing down. Indeed, this week we're pleased to detail the arrival of a long-awaited update - some brand new Alchemical Onyx items!

Which presumably was top of your Christmas list? Alchemical Onyx Yep, they're finally here. We have a whopping THREE new items designed in conjunction with the community for you, all of which arrive today (December 3rd)! Grace of the Elves is a new non-degradable necklace designed to help you out whilst skilling. • This is made by crafting an alchemical onyx necklace which requires: • 91 crafting • 1 gold bar • 1 alchemical onyx (purchased, or requires 107 invention to discover) • This necklace can then be enchanted using the level 6 enchant spell requiring 87 magic • The item offers the following: • Store up to 500 charges of Sign of the Porter by using porters on the necklace.

It will act like a Sign of the Porter whilst worn and charged. • Teleport to where your skilling portals are attuned to inside the Max Guild garden. And, if you don't have access, you will receive a free one-off attunement.

• Reduce the drain rate of the Chronicle Absorption, Lightform and Superheat Seren prayers. • Whilst using gathering skills (Divination, Mining, Woodcutting, Fishing, Farming, Hunter) you have a chance to roll on the rare drop table. Yes, this means that if you wear Luck of the Dwarves and the Grace of the Elves, you have a chance at getting a Hazelmere's Signet Ring.

The second item is the Ingenuity of Humans. It is a new sigil that allows your next hit to be a guaranteed hit • Can be created on a workbench after discovering the blueprint with 114 invention.

Passage of the Abyss is a pocket-slot item that can hold up to six different compacted jewellery all in one item! No need to carry around all of those teleports - now you can do it in a single item: • Passage of the abyss can be created on a workbench after discovering the blueprint with 118 invention.
