PoH Changes
Feeling house proud? It's time to dust off those hammers and give your humble above the glow-up it deserves. We've got a jam-packed update for your Player-Owned House this week, including some long-awaited QoL improvements, new styles, and more room for your rooms! Let's break it down.
Mounted Heads
“Heads up” trophy collectors, our J-Mods have cooked up a real treat for you this time! No longer must you suffer the indignity of tearing down an entire wall just to swap out your latest gruesome prize. With this update, you can now swap your mounted heads instantly, without needing to rebuild from scratch!
If you can’t see the image above, click here!
How it works:
- While in building mode, click the 'Trophies' option on your mounted display to open the new Mounted Trophies menu. Then click on the stuffed heads in your Inventory to mount them.[/*]
- The stuffed head will be added to your trophies board, allowing you to instantly swap between them![/*]
- Once a head has been mounted in your collection, you can display it on any eligible trophy stand across your house, even in multiple halls at once. You can still mount additional copies of the stuffed head in the future for Construction XP.[/*]
- Guests can now admire your entire trophy collection. Let's be honest, showing off is half the fun. [/*]
If you can’t see the image above, click here!
And yes, we've extended the feature to your Stuffed Fish display too. Why shouldn't you be able to switch between a big scary Shark and a nice peaceful Bass?
This even applies when you upgrade your display. While the usual level requirements for mounting heads remain unchanged, you can now swap your heads about freely if you have a higher-tier space built, but want to apply a lower-level trophy head.
- Level 38 Construction: Teak Trophy Space unlocks Crawling Hand, Cockatrice, and Basilisk.[/*]
- Level 58 Construction: Mahogany Trophy Space displays Kurask, Abyssal Demon, and the classics above.[/*]
- Level 78 Construction: Gilded Trophy Space shows off King Black Dragon and Kalphite Queen, plus everything before.[/*]
- Level 82 Construction: Gilded Trophy Space now adds Vorkath and Alchemical Hydra, along with all the other grisly trophies.[/*]
This update is all about convenience, letting you refresh your display in seconds while keeping your prized trophies exactly where they belong. So get out there and start swapping those heads around!
New House Styles Available!

As part of our ongoing visual refresh, we've also spruced up several animations to make furniture interactions smoother and more immersive. We showcased some of these in our previous blog, but here’s a refresher:
Sitting Animations
Both regular sitting and throne sitting have received a fresh animation update, making you look even more impressive as you take your rightful place on the throne!

More Room for Rooms!
Ever wished you could expand your mansion, but pesky room limits held you back? No longer! The room capacity has expanded! You'll now get up to four more rooms than before, depending on your Construction level. As before, your room cap increases every six levels, across most of the skill. Check out the image below to see just how many rooms you can now build!

Finally, just in case you needed more excuses to get your house in order:
- The Bookcase is now alphabetized and fits onto a single menu page.[/*]
- The Beaver pet's dialogue in the Menagerie now functions correctly for all recoloured variants.[/*]
That’s all for this round of Player-owned House improvements! Whether you're a master builder or just someone who enjoys a good spinning globe, we hope these changes make your home cooler and more convenient. As always, let us know what you think!
Royal Titans Ranged Defence
We see you, DPS calculator divas. Some of you have been diving deep into the mines of the sacred Wiki, trying to figure out what exactly is going on with Royal Titans' Ranged Defence when they start moving away from melee range. So, before the tinfoil hats come out in full force, let’s break it down:
- The moment a Royal Titan starts retreating from Melee range, it becomes far more vulnerable to Ranged attacks.[/*]
- While it's in this state, your Ranged Accuracy gets a whopping 500% boost - meaning your hits are going to land much more reliably.[/*]
- This effect lasts until the Titan turns around to re-engage in Melee combat, so keep those arrows flying while you have the advantage![/*]
- The Accuracy buff also applies during the charge-up pulse attack in Stage 3, covering both the charging phase and the attack itself.[/*]
Hopefully this clears up any confusion!
