Loyalty Points are Here!

Well today was the moment we've all been waiting for! The release of the Loyalty points program! Sadly, however, Jagex had some technical difficulties and I had to wait to sign up, but I eventually did! Everything should be back up and running! Just sign up for the loyalty program at: http://www.runescape.com/
Once you have signed up, head over to burthorpe to check out the vendor named Xuan's shop!

Most of the loyalty items are on sale for a limited time, so get the items while you can! You can purchase a bunch of auras:
Oddball-Shoots odd items out of dwarven cannon.
Poison Purge-Cuts poison damage in half.
Friend in need-Summons party Pete to help you out.
Sharpshooter-Increases ranged accuracy by 3%.
Runic Accuracy-5% Greater chance of defensive spells hitting a target.
Surefooted-Prevents you from failing agility obstacles.
Reverence- Slows down prayer drain and increases prayer restoration.
Call of the Sea-Increases your chance of catching fish.
Knock-Out-Guarantees a finishing blow on an opponent if they are near death.(I got this one =P)
All of these auras are on sale for a short time for 400 loyalty points. The last aura, jack of trades, is still 15000 loyalty points, it makes you gain xp within 10 skills in 3 hours to recieve a bonus exp reward!
Auras have a really cool emote when being used, this green light appears around your weapon.

Auras, however are not the only reward to be had! You can also get some emotes! The emote Cat fight is 100 points, Talk to the Hand, Shake Hands and High Five are 400 points, and Face-Palm and Surrender are 750 points. Muscle-man, Levitate, Rofl, and Breathe fire are 1000 points, and storm and snow are 4000 points. Remember these are the ON SALE prices, the prices will rise later on.

There are also the costumes!
Each costume comes in 5 colors! There's the Dervish outfit for 100 points, the Eastern outfit for 400 points, the Saxon outfit for 400 points, and the Samba outfit for 400 points.


And that's not all!
You can Recolor your pet rock or Robin hood hat! Because of this, some people are now buying Robin Hood hats for over 10M! Pet rocks cost 100 points to recolor, and robin hood hats cost 400 points to recolor.



Last but not least are titles. Runescape did not tell us about these in the preview video, but basically they are a name that shows up before your name in chat. For example I am now Sir Sparticus-15. This isn't in friend chat, just if the person is actually next to you they would see Sir Sparticus-15. The title Sir cost me 100 loyalty points.

Lord-400
Duderino-400
Lionheart-400
Hellraiser-8000
Crusader-8000
Desperado-10000
Baron-10000
Count-15000
Overlord-15000
Bandito-20000
Duke-20000
King/Queen-25000
Big Cheese -25000
Bigwig-25000
Wunderkind-50000

Jagex has confirmed that new loyalty rewards will be released in the future, such as higher tier auras that are much more powerful. After each consecutive month of membership you get more and more loyalty points for better rewards, so keep playing and have fun! 'Till Next Time,
                                                                                     -Sir Sparticus-15
