Old School RuneScape Adds Sea Fishing and Wyrmscraig Fixes in August 5th Update
Jagex's August 5th update for Old School RuneScape delivers the first round of changes to Wyrmscraig while expanding Sailing with a long-anticipated activity: fishing from your own boat.
What changed
Wyrmscraig
- A shadow has been added beneath the Mad Angel to improve click accuracy during the encounter.
- The Mad Angel's pet is now the first entry in its Collection Log display.
- Other players' Golem Crafting sound effects are no longer audible across the island.
- Mortimer's dialogue now better explains the effects of his perks.
- Spelling errors in Mr Supplies Jnr's dialogue have been corrected.
Sailing
- Fishing while anchored on your boat is now possible; spots are 5×5 tiles, fixed in place, and unavailable while the boat is moving or locked into a facility.
- Sloops and Skiffs support rod fishing; the Raft supports harpoon, net, and lobster pot fishing.
- Fish can be stored in the Cargo Hold.
- The 'Teleport to Boat' spell has been added as a perk to the Max Cape.
- The Portal Nexus now supports teleporting to your Last Boat.
- Bounty Task descriptions now reflect correct quantities.
- Facility bottles on free-to-play worlds now remind players of their contents before destruction.
- Adamant keel has been added to the Sailing skill guide.
Blood Moon Rises
- The Maggot King's Speed Chaser Combat Achievement description has been clarified.
- Maggot King has been added to the in-game HiScores panel.
For players invested in Sailing, the addition of sea fishing closes a notable gap between land and maritime skilling, while the Max Cape teleport perk offers a small but practical quality-of-life gain for end-game characters.
