As RuneScape applies the final touches to the upcoming graphical improvement, the FunOrb team have been busy revamping their most popular game. The free to play and multiplayer game ‘Arcanists‘ has now received a large chunk of new content.

They have created some new maps to master, including one that takes its cues from Mos Le’Harmless. More spells are on offer, including two new spellbooks – Sea and Nature – while familiars have been introduced, which could turn current Arcanist tactics on their head.

With more Achievements to unlock and awards to obtain, there’s plenty new to play in Arcanists.

FunOrb is a website created by Jagex, makers of RuneScape, which offers a diverse selection of games for you try out and play for free.

Development Diary and System Specifications

n the first Development Diary on our graphical improvements, we showed you the results of textures, texture blending, shadows and fog. In this, the second and final Development Diary on the release, we shine a light on the other effects we have been using.

Minimum specifications:

To play RuneScape’s new detail level you will need:

• 1.5 GHz processor or higher
• 256MB of RAM or more
• 64MB 3D Graphics card, such as Nvidia(R) GeForce(TM) 3 or above

Additionally, your graphics card should have the latest drivers installed, to ensure the new detail level plays with no problems.

If you need more information on your computer’s specifications or how to update your graphical drivers, visit our Tech Support Forum in the RuneScape Forums.

When the graphical improvement is released, you will be able to increase or decrease the number of graphical features that are activated. This will be done in your in-game ‘Options’ menu (the one with the spanner icon). So, any problems playing the new detail mode may be lessened by reducing the number of graphical features that are activated.

We would advise that your computer exceeds the above requirements, so you will be able to play the new detail mode without any issues.

REMINDER – The existing Low and High Detail will still be available, as the graphical update is completely optional.
