BoomPS Updates - Revision Update: Phase 1 – New Bosses, Raids Improvements & Major Content Expansion

Revision Update – Phase 1

We’ve successfully updated Boom to one of the latest revisions! Alongside this major upgrade, a significant amount of new content has been added, while much of our existing content has been improved and reworked.

Our headline additions for this release include Araxxor, Tormented Demons, Amoxiatll, and the Gemstone Crab. Over time, we’ll continue expanding the new areas with additional monsters, drops, Slayer tasks, shops, NPCs, Thieving, Agility, and more.

If you notice anything missing, please share it in our Suggestions channel on Discord — we’ll be working toward adding as much new content as possible following this release.

We’re also nearing completion on Sol Heredit, with beta testing beginning shortly.
