- Players are no longer able to get into a state where they can rapidly throw many throwing knives faster than intended.
- Shooting a ranged weapon at a player holding a Gunpowder Barrel should now consistently hit and detonate the barrel first, rather than sometimes hitting the player behind it.
The War Chest
- Players firing a Bone Caller at Skeleton Ships should now progress the Skeleton Squared Commendation.
Pirate Emporium
- The Blow Bubbles Emote has now had its price corrected from 249 to 149 Ancient Coins. Players who purchased the emote at the incorrect price will be reimbursed 100 Ancient Coins.
