Grand Exchange Player Shops

Browse every active player shop, compare listings and promote your shop through one of three timed Spotlight slots.

We're introducing a major new addition to the Grand Exchange โ€” Player Shops!

Previously, if you wanted to see what another player was selling, you had to search for their name directly. That's now changed.

๐Ÿ›’ BROWSE ALL PLAYER SHOPS

You can now open Player Shops directly from the Grand Exchange and browse every active shop on the server.

Each shop displays:

๐Ÿ‘ค Player Name
๐Ÿ“ฆ Item Count โ€” how many items they're currently selling
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Views โ€” how many times their shop has been viewed
๐Ÿ•’ Age โ€” how long their shop has been running

Simply click a player's shop to see everything they currently have listed for sale!

โญ INTRODUCING SHOP SPOTLIGHTS

Want more players to see what you're selling?

You can now purchase a Shop Spotlight to promote your Grand Exchange shop!

There are only 3 Spotlight slots available at any one time, with options for:

โญ 1 Day
โญ 3 Days
โญ 1 Week

Spotlight shops are permanently pinned to the top of Player Shops for the entire duration of their Spotlight.

๐Ÿฅ‡ Spotlight #1

๐Ÿฅˆ Spotlight #2

๐Ÿฅ‰ Spotlight #3

No matter how the shop list is sorted, these three shops will always appear first, second and third, giving them maximum exposure to everyone browsing the Grand Exchange.

Once a Spotlight expires, the slot becomes available for another player to purchase.

๐Ÿ’ฐ GOT ITEMS TO SELL?

Get them listed on the Grand Exchange, build up your shop and keep an eye on those Spotlight slots.

Want your shop viewed the most? Grab a Shop Spotlight and get your items seen! โญ

Adventure Guide rework

Preview important locations or follow the Adventure Guide there on foot, with the destinationโ€™s menu opened on arrival.

The Adventure Guide has been completely reworked to make finding your way around Kryptic much easier!

Whether you're a new player learning the server or just can't remember where something is, the Adventure Guide can now help you find all of the important areas around Kryptic.

๐Ÿ“ VIEW LOCATIONS

๐Ÿงญ Speak to the Adventure Guide at home.
๐Ÿ“‹ Browse a list of important locations and activities.
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Click View Location to see exactly where it is.
๐Ÿšถ Or click Take Me There and let him guide you!

๐Ÿšถ TAKE ME THERE

Selecting Take Me There doesn't simply teleport you.

The Adventure Guide will physically walk you from his location to the selected area, with your character following him the entire way.

Once you arrive, if that location has its own interface/menu, the Adventure Guide will automatically open it for you so you can get started straight away.

A much cleaner and more interactive way for both new and existing players to learn their way around Kryptic.

Community Projects

Contribute resources through five growth stages, then enjoy the activity and earn Kryptic Tokens for the new shop.

Hey @everyone,

We're introducing Community Projects, a new server-wide activity where everyone can contribute resources to help complete a project together!

๐Ÿ“ Located directly east of Home.

Each Community Project has 5 different growth stages. Players can deposit the required resources into the Hopper, with every contribution progressing the project towards its next stage.

Stage 1 โžœ Stage 2 โžœ Stage 3 โžœ Stage 4 โžœ Stage 5

The project will visually grow and change as each stage is completed.

๐Ÿ“ฆ The Hopper

Every time a new Community Project begins, the Hopper will change to require different items/resources. Supply what's needed and work together to reach the final stage!

Once Stage 5 is completed, the finished project will unlock its activity and rewards for the server. You will have 30 minutes from then to gather resources from the Project.

Kryptic Tokens and the reward shop

Take part in the completed community activity to earn Kryptic Tokens. Trade with the Community Project Manager to spend them in the new reward shop.

Sealed Pact game mode โ€” part 1 of 3

A permanent two-player mode with shared progression, content unlocks, a vault and dedicated leaderboards.

These updates cover everything completed since our previous patch notes, beginning with Krypticโ€™s brand-new game mode.

Sealed Pact

Sealed Pact is a permanent two-player game mode built entirely around progressing through Kryptic together. You and one chosen partner form a Pact, share progression and work as a team to unlock the game.

Each Pact chooses an Easy, Intermediate, Hard or Extreme XP mode. This determines your experience rates and places you within the appropriate leaderboard category.

You begin with only your starting skills and limited content available. The rest of the game is locked, including additional skills, bosses, raids, minigames, shops and useful systems.

Completing shared objectives through Earn XP + Seals rewards Pact XP and Seals.

Pact XP increases your shared Pact Level, opening new stages of progression and higher-level unlocks.

Seals are your shared currency and are spent on unlocking new content.

When either member purchases an unlock, it becomes available to both players immediately.

Both members have access to a shared Sealed Pact Vault, allowing you to store and share items throughout your journey.

The new Sealed Pact Hub brings everything together, displaying both members, online status, XP mode, Pact Level, Seals, starting skills, unlocks and recent progress.

Sealed Pacts have dedicated leaderboards with XP-mode filtering, public Pact profiles and full RuneLite Hiscores support.

The mode also includes its own purple helmet icon and Sealed player title.
