Parries, Special Attacks and Wands on the Roadmap
Published from official information dated 2026-06-26; editorial status reviewed 2026-07-19.
What changed
Jagex separates the 0.12.1 improvements from additional combat systems planned for 1.0, including Wands and a special attack resource.
Confirmed details
- Successful parries are planned to restore 50% maximum stamina and enable a Visceral Attack.
- Special attacks will consume a recharging special attack bar.
- Wands are planned as faster, more mobile magic weapons with lower comparative damage.
What this means for players
These features remain roadmap information until the stated release build arrives. Build pages should not assign final stats, drop locations or best-in-slot rankings before live data can verify them.
Player checklist
- Keep 0.12.1 and 1.0 features clearly separated.
- Expect current weapon habits to change when the special bar arrives.
- Wait for live wand stats before committing rare upgrade materials.
