Nis Beta: Customisable Keybinds
The feature request we’ve had more than any other is to add keybinding to the NIS, so that you can use keyboard shortcuts to open interfaces. It's a perfect fit for the New Interface System, so we've now added the function to the NIS Beta.
The keyboard is now yours to freely customise. We’ve opened up almost all of the interface’s functionality for you to map to the keys you want. This means you can open your backpack with B, access your prayers with P or home teleport with a T - the choice is yours! We’ll keep the F keys (F1, F2, F3, etc) for our new management windows, and you’ll always be able to access options and log out via the Escape button, but everything else is yours to define.
So, to summarise:
- You now have a customisable loadout of keyboard shortcuts for the most common action interfaces. Press Escape and select the 'Controls' option to start setting up your preferred keybinds.
- The F keys have fixed shortcuts that open the main management interfaces.
The New Interface System’s design is driven by you - the players - so thanks again to everyone who has tried it out and given their feedback. We look forward to hearing what you’ve got to say to about this latest update.

Triskelion Treasures
Triskelion Treasures (members only)
We've a real treat in store for treasure hunters today: the crystal triskelion key, which - when completed - will lead you to a cache of hidden loot that's sure to make your day.
You can find the three pieces of the triskelion around the RuneScape world during high-level (mostly 80+) members' activities. When you find all three pieces, you can combine them into the completed crystal triskelion key. When you've done so, you can use the triskelion's 'locate' function to get directions to the treasure trove it unlocks. Keep your eyes peeled - it might not be easy to spot!
The pieces of the triskelion aren't tradeable, so you'll have to find them under your own steam. Any of the following activities can yield a piece:
- Killing most monsters which require level 80+ Slayer.
- Getting drops from the rare drop table.
- Smithing mithril to rune ceremonial swords in the Artisans' Workshop, with a score of at least 80%.
- Harvesting a wishing well fruit.
- Pickpocketing elves and dwarf traders.
- Chopping elder evil trees.
- Hunting kingly implings.
Find the chest, crack it open and its lucrative loot will be yours. Each stash is different, but there's a chance to get valuable ore, logs, gems, seeds and - as long as you're not already at your limit - an ancient effigy.
There's also the chance to pick up pieces of the new dragonstone armour. This prestigious set of level 50 hybrid armour not only looks grand, but is universally useful regardless of the styles you and your opponent are using. Although you need to be a member to find the triskelion and loot the chest, the dragonstone armour is tradeable on the Grand Exchange, and usable by both free players and members.
Last - but not least - we've also updated the loot available in the crystal key chest. Collect both halves of the key and open the chest in Taverley, and you'll likely find that your returns will be better than before. There's even a small chance to pick up a piece of dragonstone armour.
Happy treasure hunting!
Mod Nic
How to start:
- Participate in any of the high-level activities listed here to find parts of the crystal triskelion.
- Crystal key halves are awarded as loot from the rare drops table, and occasionally as rewards for activities such as the Barrows, Evil Trees, and Managing Miscellania.
Requirements:
- You must be a RuneScape member to collect and combine parts of the crystal triskelion, and to open the hidden cache of treasure that it unlocks.
- Methods of reliably acquiring the triskelion pieces require levels of 80 or higher in their related skills.

- Players will lose any warband items they currently hold if they try to log into the Wilderness.
- Quercus will now trade the items retrieved from a warband camp for either XP (as before) or for 4000 coins each.
- Each camp now only has 1000 lootable items - first come, first served!
- Warbands events are now synchronised across all worlds, with one starting every 7 hours.
- AOE spells have been altered to function as they did previously:
- AOE spells now deal slightly less damage to non-main targets.
- Blood spells now heal 5% damage dealt against main targets (as before), and 3% against other targets.
- Soul Split now heals 10% damage dealt against main targets (as before), and 5% against other targets.
- In line with the above, Commander Zilyana has also undergone the following changes:
- Commander Zilyana now becomes enraged if attacked consistently with blood spells.
- Fixed a bug with Commander Zilyana not using her configured magical strength.
- Tweaked Commander Zilyana's defensive values and weaknesses.

Squeal Of Fortune: New Ranged Armour & Weapon
The skirmisher armour is the perfect fit for the rugged, bow-slinging warrior. You’ll find all five pieces on the Squeal of Fortune alongside the white stag bow - made from the antlers of a fallen stag. The armour and weapons can be changed to suit your skill levels, from level 1 right up to level 60, so they're a great way to level in style.
You’ll also find fletching crates containing bow strings and unfinished shortbows and - if that’s not enough - Ranged skill pendants and medium lamps to be won for that extra helping of Ranged XP.
Last but not least, the ultra-rare slayer tower bow is just that little bit less rare, for this weekend only.
Everything listed above is up for grabs on the Squeal of Fortune from Friday 7th May 2013 00:00 GMT, and your best chance of winning the skirmisher armour, white stag bow and slayer tower bow is by spinning before Monday 10th June 23:59 GMT. You can purchase spins here, or by clicking 'Add Spins' in the Squeal of Fortune interface. Don’t forget that members get two daily spins instead of one!
