Bank Tags land, the Wilderness gets safer, and the Dino Nuggets take the crown

The Old School RuneScape Wilderness at dusk — a bleak grey-purple wasteland with a glowing stone obelisk, dead trees and a ruined castle
The Wilderness — where the Trouver rework aims to stop you losing crucial untradeables on death.

The short version: June 17 dropped a genuinely jam-packed update before Old School went quiet for the Blood Moon run-up: Bank Tags on mobile and the Official Client, a Trouver rework that stops you losing crucial untradeables in the Wilderness, two new Frost Dragon Slayer unlocks, and a stack of Last Man Standing changes — and off the back of it, the Deadman All Stars finale crowned a champion in Chicago.

01Bank Tags come to mobile and the Official Client

The headline quality-of-life feature: Bank Tags are now on mobile and the Official Client. You can create up to 20 of them — a bump from the earlier figure, made after feedback at the Summer Campfire.

Setting one up is quick. Tap the little + button in the top-left of your Bank, give the tag a title (up to 25 alphanumeric characters), then pick any item — tradeable or not — to act as its icon. From there you drag and drop items from your main bank onto the tag, and arrange them however you like, gaps and empty rows included. Selecting the icon swaps into the tag view; tapping again swaps back. You can duplicate a tag from its mini-menu (or shift-drag with a mouse), reorder tags so your current activity sits at your fingertips, and delete a tag with a confirmation prompt so there are no misclicks. One catch for collectors: duplicating a tag copies the layout, not the items — you've still got to grind for those T-bows.

02The Trouver rework: the Wilderness gets less punishing

The bigger structural change is the Trouver System Rework, aimed at stopping players losing crucial untradeables when they die in the Wilderness. Jagex sorted untradeables into three tiers:

For those higher-tier items, dying below level 20 Wilderness (or at Grand Exchange PvP-world fights) simply breaks them for the usual repair fee; dying above level 20 leaves them 'mangled', repairable for 500,000 GP. You can still use Perdu to remove a parchment if you want — and if you don't parchment a higher-tier item, it will still be lost above 20 Wilderness, as before. One known issue was flagged with the update: some items aren't getting their intended parchment protection yet, which Jagex said it would coldfix.

03Frost Dragons, Last Man Standing and the PvP rota

Slayers got two new Frost Dragon unlocks on Nieve and Duradel, 100 Slayer points each and disable-able without a refund:

Last Man Standing got a loadout refresh too: Dragon Crossbow and Opal Dragon Bolts (e) come into the Max/Med kit (Rune Crossbow and Diamond Bolts out), the never-played default preset now packs 3 Saradomin brews, 2 Sanfew serums and 10 sharks, the Berserker ring becomes the imbued version, and Dragon claws replace the Dragon dagger in the Max/Med starter. On the PvP side, the rota moved to Period A and two Australian worlds — 390 for LMS Competitive and 569 for Bounty Hunter — were activated. The update also swept up a long list of Z-buffer graphical fixes across Gielinor, from flickering statues to feet clipping into the floor.

04The finale: Deadman All Stars crowns the Dino Nuggets

Away from the patch notes, Deadman All Stars Season 3 reached its conclusion on June 22. After weeks of team fights and clutch redemptions, the Dino Nuggets were crowned champions. Jagex ran the finale as its first-ever US live event, in Chicago, bringing competitors, creators and community members together in person — a notable step up in scale for the event.

05The market corner: a deliberate Sailing re-peg

We don't publish a fabricated price table for a past week — the live Grand Exchange prices API only serves current values, and we won't invent June figures. But there was one real, sourced market move worth flagging from the update itself.

Buried in the Sailing changes, Jagex adjusted the market values of several Sailing uniques to better align them with their current Grand Exchange prices — a deliberate re-peg of the game's internal reference values, not a player-driven swing. It's the kind of change that quietly shifts alchemy and shop-value calculations for those items, even when the GE guide price barely moves. Everything else this week was quality-of-life and combat balance rather than economy.

FAQ

How many Bank Tags can I make in Old School RuneScape?

Up to 20, on mobile and the Official Client. You create one with the + button in the top-left of your Bank, give it a title and an item icon, then drag and drop items in. Jagex raised the limit to 20 after Summer Campfire feedback.

Does the Trouver rework stop me losing items in the Wilderness?

It reduces it. Untradeables with no combat benefit are never lost on death; items with some combat bonus break and repair at Perdu without a parchment; higher-tier items stay protected once 'Trouvered'. Above level 20 Wilderness, higher-tier items become 'mangled' and cost 500,000 GP to repair rather than being lost outright.

What do the new Frost Dragon Slayer unlocks do?

'Chance of Heavy Frost' raises the task weighting from 5 to 8; 'I See Dragon' extends tasks to between 180 and 240 Frost Dragons. Each costs 100 Slayer points and can be disabled without a refund.

Who won Deadman All Stars Season 3?

The Dino Nuggets, at Jagex's first-ever US live event, held in Chicago.
