It’s that time of the week; you’re getting ready for another seven days of whatever it is you do. Who knows what this week will bring you?

Whether they are big updates or small quality-of-life changes, they always improve the current state of the game! Let’s see what they’ve released, updated, or modified in this week’s RuneScape patch notes as of July 10, 2023.
