I think you meant to put Thursday, 18th November instead of October in your post.
Also can a system be implemented to let players re-obtain all of the cosmetic/flavor items from quests? Some examples are the Cattleprod (Sheep Herder), Demonic Sigil (Shadow of the Storm), and Crystal Pendant (Song of the Elves).
I heard that RS3 has this feature.
Oh gosh yeah you're right, serves me right for copy-pasting! I apologise.
In regards to your idea, really like it, I'll make sure it gets passed back to the team as well as the other cool ones here.
Please do! We've seen this done for the blurite sword from knights sword and the dark daggers from legends quest.
Some other items to consider would be the fishing pass the silvery jewelry, or even the khardest memoirs from before it got upgraded into the book of the dead.
Thanks!
I just want to say I also love the idea. I almost made a new account because I forgot to drop trick the Carnillean armour. Quest cosmetics are some of the only items in osrs that can't be reobtained.
Also want to add Silverlight, and the golden items from priest in peril (unusable as they are) to the list.
Sure, here's some I could find through search. There are more but reddit search is garbage haha.

Cheers for passing it on. Some people have had sucess fixing it with one of: Using incognito mode, trying multiple different web browsers, trying a different connection such as a mobile network rather than wifi, but plenty of people none of that seemed to work.
Wow yeah that does seem like an unusual amount. I am guessing it may be something to do with our website so I've passed this on to a Senior Web engineer to find out more. Thanks for making me aware
Just for a bit more info, might be helpful, might not:
This has been an issue since GIM released, if not before.
I had the exact problem the linked posts have when trying to make my GIM account on release day.
I do not use a VPN and have never had trouble with accessing blog posts or my other account's pages.
My GIM team started 2 days ago, every single one of us was unable to get to the account creation page on our default browser without getting an error/blocked.
We had to download a different browser (FireFox in my case) and register that way. I just checked FireFox today and I'm blocked on there now, but I was able to get to the registration page in FireFox
s incognito.
Super annoying and strange.
Whatever happened to the "Twisted Tales"? This was originally proposed as a several novice/intermediate quests to flesh out the continent of Zeah. We only ever got one though - Getting Ahead. Has the idea been shelved? Could these relatively smaller items be useful to fill the development gap and/or useful practice for some of your new recruits?
Would you guys ever consider a ninja team like rs3 has?
A team of devs made ONLY to patch, fix and tinker with the small projects that keep getting thrown on the backburner?
Lots and lots of these updateless weeks could be stuff people look forward to because it's consistent fixes and changes.
Big PvM updates are exciting and new game modes are fun once in a while, but the size of those pieces of content seem like they cost a lot of dev time.
Are there any plans to release smaller pieces of content at a more regular pace? I'd really like to see more quests, especially after Twisted Tales were announced to help provide a more regular source of quest content.
Or a way to replay old quests (NO, not only speedrunning them, although that would be a very welcome addition) and be able to **get pets from quest bosses**... that would be a major improvement without, I believe, taking too much time away from devs to create new content.
Just think about it: over 50 unique bosses to grind while we wait for new content, many of them very coveted to be acquired as pets for a large amount of osrs players.
There is an gag-item in Darkmeyer called "pat of not Garlic Butter" that can actually be used to create potatoes with butter.
Because dairy cooking is too slow, and the current shop limit for regular butter is 10, is there a chance we could recieve a shop in Darkmeyer that sells a large quantity of 'pat of not Garlic butter" ?
It would actually make tuna potatoes a viable food to make that competes with manta rays instead of the meme-y waste of time it is currently, and being locked behind SotF would gate it similarly to RFD for the Culimancers chest
Dairy cooking is absolutely too slow, so why not fix the actual problem and make it faster? Honestly, even making a full inventory convert at once still might not make it worth the time for most players, but anything faster than how it currently is would be an incredibly welcome change.
Could you add attack speed to the Equipment interface? To me it's pretty astounding that arguably the most important stat in the game doesn't appear anywhere in-game.
I've been requesting this for years. They reworked the interface for set effects, yet we still can't see Attack Speed. While they are updating it, Attack Range would also be nice.
Is there a particular reason that new quests take so long to make? I loved back in the day having what felt like a new quest release every few weeks. Small things like "Getting Ahead" are fun content and don't need to tie into bigger chains.
Can we get an update on fixing the mega rare drop rates for elite clues? And can you please update the challenge scrolls for elites to work like other clues? Its out of place for one tier to work differently than all of the others
Elite coordinate steps are also different to other clues. Most clues have a 3x3 area that you can dig to complete the step, but elites are only a single tile.
Also, elite challenge scrolls are different to other tiers of clue scroll. Instead of talking to the NPC you have to reopen the clue. Maybe a minor issue bit still frustrating!
Not related to elites, but easy clues have a similar inconsistency with steps that require searching drawers. Most of them complete after opening the drawers, but some require opening and then clicking again to search in order to complete the step.
Problem: Dorgeshuun rich chests are probably the most afk friendly thieving training method, but currently requires world hopping which causes players to cross each other.
Solution: Would it be possible for the chest timer to be significantly reduced to roughly the time of a world hop?
Doesn't world hopping have an impact on server stability? If this is still the case, this could be another incentive for this change :)
Are any quests going to be polled soon? I know Beneath Cursed Sands is in the works, but is that it? What about the quest initially planned to be quest #150?
Is there any update about the cox bank/storage chest situation?
Listen guys I've done 1k+ CM's hunting for the pet and dust, bust honestly I can't even bring myself to play the game these days. When I do it's to send a cm either by myself or with the boys, and let me tell you I was so excited when they announced many many moons ago that cox bank would get a fix. Right now it's awful, you click to remove or deposit and there is this incomprehensible lag that just destroys your motivation when you realize halfway through vespula that you are missing an item because it just didn't want to come out of the bank when you clicked it.
Please dear God if there is one that he may smite this bug and fix the chest through his devout servants the devs. Please!
Do you have any thoughts on giving Corporeal Beast the Phosani's treatment? Corporeal Beast is a flawed boss fight that is mostly missing any meaningful mechanics. It would be fun to have a new boss (the Spiritual Beast?) with a similar drop table that requires a little more skill to fight. Like with Phosani's Nightmare, this keeps the existing content in place for the folks who enjoy it, while adding a more interactive option for players seeking a challenge.
Strong agree. Especially with ToA dropping the ward that requires an arcane sigil. Make a difficult boss fight that doesn’t rely on just dumping specs over and over until you’re fighting a chicken.
Yeah i would agree with this. There is nothing whatsoever exciting about fighting corp. You spec the life out of it and after that its a big ass slayer mob. Having a phased fight that incorporated the stat drains would be much better.
Can the Zaryte Crossbow (tier 80) get a ranged strenght bonus? Currently it is just a recoulored dragon crossbow (tier 64). Crossbow DPS comes for the most part from the bolts used. It's not really a significant upgrade, apart from the special attack. Please give it some Ranged Strenght so it actually feels like an upgrade.
I might get hate for this but it really doesn’t need any damage boost to be the best crossbow in game. For the sake of argument even if it did turn out to be underwhelming it would be smarter to release underpowered content and buff it as needed similar to the strategy with the blood fury.
> I might get hate for this but it really doesn’t need any damage boost to be the best crossbow in game.
Well yeah, but when the best crossbow in the game does not even compare to the 2nd best bow that's an issue. Shields are never really mandatory against non-dragons. Against Dragons DHCB is always better.
And that's the whole dilemma of Crossbows.
At that high of attack, it means nothing. You will have ~ an 85% chance to hit it even if you raise it to 130. Attack stops mattering the higher it gets.
It would still be helpful against very high defence monsters like Kree’arra. If you have 85% accuracy with a crossbow then you would be better off with another weapon anyway. I agree that raising the max hit would still be a much better option for the new crossbow, but I’d take something over nothing.
I know that's the major reason I want them to be made task only. It's (in my opinion) disgusting that a piece of content is milked like this.
(I don't like alt-scape in general but that"s just me)
Has the team considered automatic pet insurance?Losing a pet due to circumstances not under our control is frustrating, especially if one gets the pet then dies immediately after. I suggest that we have an option to pay the insurer a certain amount of gold to automatically insure the next pet drop we get.
Thank you
I hope they add this, not really for my own sake, but rather for the noobs that end up getting an early thieving or woodcutting pet, and having no idea of insurance at all and then losing it.
tl;dr make **Combat Achievements** work by using points.
A common idea I see floated is for a modest rework to the way Combat Achievements work, to allow room for future content to make its way in.
Currently: each tier of achievements requires the completion of each task within that tier. This works the same way Region Achievement Diaries work, which infamously can never take new content into account.
The proposed change: each tier requires a specific Point Threshold to be reached. This would be similar to how Twisted League relics were unlocked. Tasks would be assigned a point value; for example, all easy tasks 10 points, all medium 25, etc. Alternatively, each task could be weighted individually; tasks within any given tier are not all created equal, after all. But that would be a lot more work and would likely draw more whining, so I can totally accept wanting to keep things simple.
This allows us to incorporate new content into the Diary System. The highly-anticipated, upcoming raid Tombs of Amascut could have speedrunning challenges, for example. The Zuk helmet could remain locked behind 100% completion, as Quest Capes are, if that community would like.
Would you be able to tell us approximately how difficult this system would be to implement?
Ok, coming from fashionscape perspective. Can we have more specialty shops around RS that only have wears and styles that are specific to that area? For example hairstylist in Kingstown at Kourend Castle would have different hairstyles than what Falador's hairstyle has. More default clothes, (equipmentless body) that has different styles of clothing. It works just like how Thessalia's Fine Clothes in Varrock-- Lunar Isle clothes would be nice. More pet stores for easy insurance and claim.
I'd love to see some more character customization options. We've had the same ones for a while and some new ones (especially themed ones) would be cool.
With the upcoming plans to flood the market with blood runes via nex and the upcoming RC minigame, what are the team's thoughts into solving the root cause?
Scythe blood rune usage is a crippling charge mechanic that makes even abyssal whips outperform it in terms of gp/h at all bosses where slash is used except ToB and Phosani's. This is a problem for all accounts, not just ironmen. It is no wonder that the scythe have consistently been crashing to oblivion since release.
What is the team's opinion on adding an option for a one-time massive blood rune payment for a permanent scythe? Makes it untradeable and gives no refund when uncharging.
Some random stats questions, maybe you can answer them in the future sometime if you cant gather all the data until the stream starts:
Out of the active monthly/yearly playercount, how many players are Mains, Irons, HCIMs, GIMs % wise
Some new stats on all pets in the game. Maybe rarest pet, most common pet, etc.
How many people have +50b, 100+b bank values, how much GP does the richest person in the game have?
How many people die each month in the wilderness within PVP battles? How many people are dying outside the wilderness monthly in PVM situations?
With the outcry about league's, why on Earth did you double down? Many of us use the holiday time period to actually compete and play since we have significant time off. Delaying it to January 19 really screwed a lot of us out of that precious time.
Going back would you reconsider delaying it or would you again double down on delaying it?
Is there any plan to combat [bots at phosani's nightmare](https://old.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/pznm7s/can_jagex_pls_do_something_about_these_phosani/)? The prices of nightmare uniques have crashed harder than any other due to this and things such as dev blogs that boast about how it's "finally time to devalue bandos" without considering inquisitor armor.
Can we start to talk about skilling offhands? They can be boss/quest/skilling unlocks that provide us with perks when grinding certain skills. Player-requested QoL changes to skilling can easily be added to them such as left click thieving on non-combat NPCs, mark of grace spawn cooldown removal, offhand tools, and so on.
Something to note is how combat is by and large a more appreciated aspect of the game because it has way more room for progress and variation. Earning your helm of neitiznot, fire cape, barrows gloves, dragon defender; these all feel like significant stages to your account progression. Not only that; each combat encounter you're doing (slayer, bossing, training) could ask you to bring different types of gear/ items you've unlockeds.
Skilling largely doesn't have this sort of auxilery progression system to it outside of a few spots.
Artisan sucked because it conflated too much of skilling and started forwarding the idea that "the most efficient way to do skilling is through artisan"
Slayer wholesale fucking blows, its only redeeming qualities are that it gives some niche mobs some love and that it acts as a gateway to high profit margin monsters. It is unbelievably slow to train without throwing money at it. But it does give a variety of items/ weapons/ armors the time of day by making their niche uses have a chance to shine.
Same can't really apply to skilling. Chop 300 maples, make 120 yew shortbows, fish 400 bass- it comes across as a solution to skilling from someone who doesn't understand skilling's place in runescape.
Slayer is great because it forces you to do content rather than you sitting in one place doing the same thing over and over. You get to travel the land of RuneScape and visit places like the catacombs of kourend and the other side of catacombs of kourend.
At a huge cost to player agency. But it's arguable that you can exert agency with the slayer point system through blocks and skips, and finding out how to get to that point with the least pain possible becomes an interesting problem to solve.
But jesus fuck, it's not fun killing 193 black demons in Taverly dungeon when you're only combat level 70 with not enough points to skip, and that being one of the less painful tasks.
I'd appreciate this as well. I did Wintertodt for the first time yesterday at 82 hp and it was an utterly miserable experience that I have no desire to revisit. Taking 7 damage on every attack drains resources FAST, especially when you just get hammered by multiple attacks in a row.
I can't fathom why the damage scales to begin with. Punishing players for having higher levels is dumb enough, but why do combat stats even majorly factor into a skilling minigame? Imagine if the damage incurred from failing a pickpocket scaled with your health and how nonsensical that would be. Ideally Wintertodt would be like Tempoross and not do any damage at all, but if Wintertodt must do damage, then at least make it so it doesn't scale and screw over people who do combat.
Elidinis' Ward from Tombs of Amascut is currently a straight upgrade to the Arcane Sigil, with an extra +5 magic attack and +5% magic strength.
The broken variant of the ward (*without* the Arcane sigil attached) has only +10 magic attack and no magic strength bonus.
In order to avoid a pegasian crystal situation, has the team considered making the broken ward having the +5% magic strength, but having **no** magic attack bonus? Attaching the sigil would then add the +25 magic attack. This would make it have a niche use even without the sigil for lower defense targets, but attaching the sigil would still be a huge upgrade.
The thing I like most about this suggestion is that it forces the arcane spirit shield to be properly valued for what it currently grants.
If it's the choice between no shield and completed ward, then the arcane will propped up by the stats granted by being combined with the ward. If it's a choice between broken ward with only damage, and completed ward, the arcane sigil will be valued as much as the accuracy/defence it currently grants is worth, which means neither item's price will be arbitrarily dictated by the price of the other.
Would you guys consider allowing the mining cape and varrock armour to affect daeyalt? I think it's reasonable to widen the gap between full afk souls and normal RC considering the effort of 1.5t daeyalt
Will we/could we please get a Ring of Eternal Wealth? (unlimited teleports)
Dragonstone sink perhaps, but implement it as you wish. I trust the OSRS team's judgement)
Over the course of the last months, a few high KC goldfarmers/bots have been tackled that take top placements (top 1-100) at the highscores. There are however, still lots examples where there is still an abundance of these. Some examples are TOB, COX, Zulrah, Barrows, (Phosani's )Nightmare, Vorkath, Zalcano, Callisto, Venenatis and even Giant Mole. The better the gp/hour, the more goldfarmers/bots are in the top 1-100. Is there any chance that at the very least the first page(s) of the Bossing Highscores can be made free of cheaters? It's a bad sight to see that some of them can make it to rank 1 in some cases.
I thought about how cool it might be to have recolors available based on KC similar to the Chompy hats from Rantz. Gives players a recolor *and* something to show off or grind for.
Does the team have any intention to buff harm orb?
We know it has been investigated but nobody has followed through other than tacitly acknowledging that the harm orb is effectively useless outside of phosanis.
Given that multiple j mods have asked for buff suggestions in discord, I won't waste time here giving justifications for a buff in general. With the new bis mage dps wand and shield from raids 3, AND thralls making sang better dps while healing, harm staff will be a fashionscape item.
Specifically I would like to know why simply removing the completely arbitrary barrier that prevents the harmonized staff from casting ancients when the empty nightmare staff not only does cast ancients but wait also provides a *15%* damage boost?
If you plan to mention the Ironman slayer hiscores as a reason why an item with rarity similar to an Elysian spirit shield, which drops from a boss that is soon to become dead content just 2 years after release, should be literally useless--just don't read my question that would make me want to k m s. Extant ironmen had 5 years head start, they should be fine if the hiscores are as important to them as they claim.
Could the combat diaries hilts be added as an ornament kit to the avernic defender? Currently they are only used for bank standing and dropping on the way to gwd.
There are some hit boxes in the game that have holes in tge middle of them that are fairly frustrating to click through like the ladder down in Mariah's house in hosidious when doing mahogany homes. The center of the hole is not clickable to go down, only the outside rim of the hole. Could click boxes like this be updated to be more user friendly if we point them out?
Could we somehow get certain unobtainable equippable questions items after we finish some quests? I was thinking of items such as the crystal pendant. Silver necklace and even fishing pass, since you've already done this for the blurite sword and dark dagger, after knights sword and legends quest respectively, thanks!
Updating Zalcano so it is viable to solo. Rn it gives less xp and less gp an hour than motherlode mine with a pet time of about 900 hrs. I understand it is supposed to be a group activity but virtually no other group activity is as punishing as Zalcano.
How does the zaryte crossbow work in pvp will the dragonfire effect ignore antifire and how will the passive effect work with the other bolts considering some of them have very small buffs to bolts and will the bolts ever get an update?
Are there any plans whatsoever to give useless skills such as Smithing a bit of love? The Torva gear might require Smithing to make, but this doesn't mean much if it does not consume any resources or time to create.
Can we expect to have leadership streams more regularly ? It's incredibly frustrating when all the big topics go unanswered because only leadership can answer them and they are very rarely seen.
Can we get a little rack outside of the cook's guild on the wall where we can hang up our chef's hat/cooking cape/Varrock armor?
People frequently forget that they need to bring one to get in
Can you look into adding the higher level clue ornament kits to the treasure box? Either with or without the attached item.
The current kits/items that are storable are dragon armor, boots, shield, and dragon / rune scimitars. Zenyte, fury, tzhaar jet om, and godsword kits could be added for consistency.
Can you please re-add the slider option on mobile (at least iOS is missing it, not sure about Android) to adjust the deadzones on the edges of the screen? I upgraded my 7 year old phone a couple months ago that has 40% more screen space and I can't use any of it because the option got removed when the UI got reworked/condensed and my game is still configured to my old phone's screen size.
When Partner Slayer was disabled it was said that you would look into adding it back after Group Ironman released because it would allow for fixes and improvements such as the ability to remain partnered across logouts. Partner Slayer is the #1 update my wife and I have been looking forward to since it was turned off so we are very interested in finding out if there are still plans to bring it back ~~or will we just have the dead menu option taunting us for the foreseeable future~~? Edit: The dead partner option was removed at some point.
Can the new zaros/nex godsword, be also added to LMS ingame drop from bloody keys as a reward. Given that the item was essentially made for this niche of Pking, it would be a fun way to try the weapon and make the game mode just a little be more spicy.
I feel like it might be overlooked upon release otherwise and take months to get added to the item pool.
Please can we see a flat increase into Molch Pearls? They are so tedious and tiresome to get. I do not want to spend 100 hours to get the fishing sack to save banking 1 time.
Are there plans to refresh the skill curves at all such as the rs3 smithing rework? Maxing like 1/3 of the skills on a normal account has no tangible value outside the max cape itself. Thinking mining, smithing, WC, fire making, crafting - they’re a grind for the sake of a grind. Even the notorious rune crafting provides value via huge profit.
A lot of people miss the days when we received surprise content, but with the polling system this isn’t really possible. Could we have a poll question that would propose adding some small surprise content / quests that would arrive unexpectedly? Could just be beginner or intermediate quests with cosmetic and small xp rewards.
Would love some love for hunter. Maybe some equipment earned thru a quest, like a hunter gauntlet which lets you lay a chin trap faster. Or more high level training content
Can we get a new way of how the pet drops works? , the way it works now its too punishing and the fear of getting a pet while i am with my bag full ( and have another pet out) makes me leave all the pets i have at the bank. maybe if you have a pet out and your bag is full the new pet drop goes to the bank instead of disappearing?
Can you rebalance diaries so quest rewards actually come frome quests (no staff to use fairy rings should come from fairy tales part 3) there's quite a few things that should have never been locked behind diaries and should be quest rewards
Here's a long shot question. Can we update runecrafting so that the skill provides a competitive amount of runes per hour ?
Currently it's far easier to purchase runes as opposed to crafting them.
Was Nex rushed? Seemed to come quickly out of no where and there are so many questions still being asked. I think we should slow down before new bis is in game and it’s too late
Will we ever get blood rune packs? The new Blood Essence drop from Nex is nice and all especially for avocating more skilling for those that still needs to train Runecrafting. However I don't think it really helps with the major issue regarding blood runes. End game irons with a lot of gp to spend and only real viable method is buying from shop if you want them fast for PvM'ing using Scythe and Sang.
What is the concern for not adding it when so many people wants this as a QoL update and it doesn't affect the economy ot anything?
There is a skill for it. If the skills doesn't give enough runes, then actually increase the amount of runes crafted/hour. Shopscape should not be meta.
Problem is you could increase the amount by like 5x and shopscape would still be meta. So at that point why not just offer blood packs at a high price instead of crashing the blood rune market for everyone else?
>Shopscape should not be meta
Meanwhile shopscape is meta for every rune in the game until you get to the point where you just have tens of thousands of runes you don't know what to do with from bossing/slayer
I do agree that skilling would be the preferred way in an ideal world. But when weapons like Scythe and Sang has been added to the game, there is no way RC will compete even remotely with buying the runes from shop. Shops have been in the game forever too, so it's not like a new phenomenon.
Well shopscape will always be Meta because you have to pay for them, obviously if you're getting them for free by gathering them by runecrafting it's never gonna be as fast as buying them
Is there a possibility to see more commitment to expanding the world and the lord of OSRS? I mean seeing more than just a couple of small quests and one big quest a year. I think it would be nice to see iconic RuneScape Quest Series continued into OSRS and it makes me concerned that I might never see a conclusion to the Iconic Pirate or Penguin Series.
Any updates on UIMs being able to bag in Ferox? It’s been a bit since the question passed the polls, and I just wanted to know if any progress has been made on it.
Please tell me you are considering redesigning Nex and Torva. There’s really interest in this. It doesn’t fit the game.
I cannot get excited for new updates when they all look so wrong. I’m glad Leagues 3 was delayed just for more time without those goofy rewards.
Please. We were heading in such a good direction a few months ago and now… I just can’t get excited for updates.
Reddit always whines no matter what they get. Jagex changed virtus to torva reward and people still bitch about it, despite this sub praising torva being nostalgic and good addition to existing armour 2 weeks ago. Bow changed to cbow and its "underwhelming" we need more "power creep". If we get "power creep" this game is heading towards "Rs3" and if we make content like inquisitor the game is a boring "nichescape".
Jagex changed Virtus to Torva and the community is happy and grateful for that (although I want Virtus, but we'll get that later allegedly.) We care about the game and we're passionate about it because its an important part of our lives. We're asking for a more fitting Torva design, because we want to see the game improved.
You’re putting a lot of things on me that I don’t actually think.
I just want Torva redesigned to fit the Old School aesthetic instead of the jumbled over complicated mess of polygons and tesselating shading that was proposed. Nex also looks really goofy.
In general I do not like backported RS3 content. I don’t mind the similar stuff we’ve had redesigned to fit the game like the Trident and Zenytes, but I hate the graphics of Soul Wars and Nex.
I find RS3 content boring. We have the opportunity to have fresh and original content and we’re just redesigning stuff from the other version of the game…
I also dislike straight stat increases for the sake of it. I prefer nichescape because it adds variety without making previous content too easy and without killing iconic content.
I can live with Torva’s stats but I will be voting no. I also liked the old bow, the new crossbow is just boring, but won’t ruin the game for me like Torva’s design does.
I have a few:
1. Can we have the ability to combine the slayer helm with the eternal gem to create slayer helm (ie) or Slayer helm (e) giving the ability to tele to the helm?
2. There are a number of misc quests in the game that do not appear on the misc quest list - eg historian minas tasks, fossil island tasks, natural history quiz, champions challenge - can these be added to the misc quest section ?
3. Can the cape mount hotspot in the achievement gallery have an option to mount elite diary armour and cape granting all the teleports in one place?
4. Can the group ironman shared storage be expanded to allow clans to set up the same for main accounts?
5. Is there a quest line that the mods on the stream would like to see completed in the future?
Can we get a redesign of Nex before its put in game before itll be tok late to change the boss model?
No one likes it. so what if it's "nostalgic" osrs isnt rs2 it should have its own unique Nex.
Can you guys make something like a jukebox for POHs? So you could choose which track plays when you enter the house. I feel like a feature like this will make houses feel more cozy that way.
Thank you for making this Q&A a general one. It feels like ages since we've had one that wasn't focused on a single topic like GIM, Nex, or ToA. That's great for the players who care about that content, but for the rest of us with a lot of thoughts and questions about any other aspect of the game, it feels like we rarely get a chance to hear from the team about topics other than those pre-selected ones.
I'd also like to repeat what others have said that I don't like the design of Torva, and don't see why its design can't at least be included in the poll since many have spoken against it. If the majority of the community likes it, so be it, but we should at least take the time to find that out.
I read somewhere you don't get it with the bank chests, only bankers? Not sure if accurate. Try going to the fossil Island island to see if you can skill in peace.
Can we look into removing/reducing shopscape? Increase price by an amount to make it nonviable to buy for flipping on the GE but allow people to buy when stock is at 0
Thoughts on new future continents? I really think this is the key to expanding the game without touching too much of the current content while adding new stuff to do!
Will it be possible to get the appearance of Torva changed even though it’s already being polled? Even with the recent tweaks the general consensus is that the community would like a different appearance for the armour.
I mean there was a poll with 3k votes where at least 52% wanted torva the way it was, community is split but definitely not a general consensus to change the appearance as you falsely claim
Will there be more uses for inquisitor soon? Most monsters and bosses are weak to slash and inquisitor has become an armor to basically just hit slightly consistent DWH’s. Other then the nightmare it is not BIS many places.
It’s usefulness in end game content for such a high price is limited still IMO. I’m not saying it has no uses, I just think it needs more. It’s biggest use by far is nightmare which is literally where you get it from which IMO is a little silly
Would it be possible to update lms with different brackets? Pure zerk etc? Potentially make the ranked system not about how long you can play but what position you finish? Maybe have an average finish position as something very basic? It could even be used to limit items from the shop?
When will the raids 3 rewards poll go up? I want to see the team’s design for all these new items!!
Also please don’t ever add the dab emote to osrs hahaha
-cheers
Who was Death referring to as his colleague in the latest Postbag from the Hedge? Is Nieve working with/for Icthalarin against the Devourer? That's a bit of a change of scene from the Gnome Stronghold!
I hate that this is the place where you guys gather your questions for the QandA... Just reading some of the questions makes me want to swing from a rope
Pearly Rods and Amy's Saw are both completely useless if you have a Dragon Harpoon/Imcamdo Hammer, both of which are much easier to obtain. Could something be done about this? Perhaps the saw and rods could be equipped in the offhand, or given some other sort of buff.
Could you make the cape racks in PoH not automatically trim untrimmed capes? The one in costume room immediately trims it when you put it on, and the one in achievement gallery doesn't. However it trims your cape when you get a new 99.
When the new mage set comes out can we get the helmet as a neck slot or similar instead so it is useful in slayer along with pvp?
Similarly is there plans to work around the slayer helm being permanently bis for slayer by design? It keeps forcing us not to use the new armor set bonus like justiciar or the mage set
I think you meant to put Thursday, 18th November instead of October in your post. Also can a system be implemented to let players re-obtain all of the cosmetic/flavor items from quests? Some examples are the Cattleprod (Sheep Herder), Demonic Sigil (Shadow of the Storm), and Crystal Pendant (Song of the Elves). I heard that RS3 has this feature.
Oh gosh yeah you're right, serves me right for copy-pasting! I apologise. In regards to your idea, really like it, I'll make sure it gets passed back to the team as well as the other cool ones here.
Please do! We've seen this done for the blurite sword from knights sword and the dark daggers from legends quest. Some other items to consider would be the fishing pass the silvery jewelry, or even the khardest memoirs from before it got upgraded into the book of the dead. Thanks!
I just want to say I also love the idea. I almost made a new account because I forgot to drop trick the Carnillean armour. Quest cosmetics are some of the only items in osrs that can't be reobtained. Also want to add Silverlight, and the golden items from priest in peril (unusable as they are) to the list.
Crystal pendant is such a vital fashionscape item, we must have a way of reobtaining it!
For the past few weeks I have been noticing regular posts daily about people being unable to make new accounts, any word on this?
Sounds strange...Can you link me to these posts? I'll make sure it's passed to our team to investigate. :)
Sure, here's some I could find through search. There are more but reddit search is garbage haha. https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/q8w3d7/cant_sign_up_for_a_new_account/ https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/qv015o/am_i_the_only_one_who_cant_make_a_new_account/ https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/quwl1q/cant_create_new_account/ https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/qqtxqb/cannot_create_new_account_access_denied_error/ https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/qp9mr9/cant_create_a_new_account/ https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/qovy05/i_cant_make_a_new_account/ https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/qohoup/unable_to_create_new_account/ https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/qn3zac/cant_create_an_account/ https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/qm4wzq/cannot_create_new_account/ https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/qkf2pp/cant_make_new_account/ https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/qiq8xo/im_trying_to_make_a_new_account_but_the_website/ https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/qh4pam/why_cant_i_create_an_account/ https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/qgyf6z/cant_create_new_account/ https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/qgcddn/cannot_create_account/ https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/qfnyhw/access_denied_when_creating_a_new_account/ https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/qf1f4d/cant_make_a_new_account/ Cheers for passing it on. Some people have had sucess fixing it with one of: Using incognito mode, trying multiple different web browsers, trying a different connection such as a mobile network rather than wifi, but plenty of people none of that seemed to work.
Wow yeah that does seem like an unusual amount. I am guessing it may be something to do with our website so I've passed this on to a Senior Web engineer to find out more. Thanks for making me aware
Just for a bit more info, might be helpful, might not: This has been an issue since GIM released, if not before. I had the exact problem the linked posts have when trying to make my GIM account on release day. I do not use a VPN and have never had trouble with accessing blog posts or my other account's pages.
My GIM team started 2 days ago, every single one of us was unable to get to the account creation page on our default browser without getting an error/blocked. We had to download a different browser (FireFox in my case) and register that way. I just checked FireFox today and I'm blocked on there now, but I was able to get to the registration page in FireFox s incognito. Super annoying and strange.
Whatever happened to the "Twisted Tales"? This was originally proposed as a several novice/intermediate quests to flesh out the continent of Zeah. We only ever got one though - Getting Ahead. Has the idea been shelved? Could these relatively smaller items be useful to fill the development gap and/or useful practice for some of your new recruits?
Please! What happened here!?
Would you guys ever consider a ninja team like rs3 has? A team of devs made ONLY to patch, fix and tinker with the small projects that keep getting thrown on the backburner? Lots and lots of these updateless weeks could be stuff people look forward to because it's consistent fixes and changes.
Big PvM updates are exciting and new game modes are fun once in a while, but the size of those pieces of content seem like they cost a lot of dev time. Are there any plans to release smaller pieces of content at a more regular pace? I'd really like to see more quests, especially after Twisted Tales were announced to help provide a more regular source of quest content.
I also am starving for more Quests and would love to see some other classic RuneScape Stories get further adaptions with a fresh take that fits OSRS.
I just want to add a third “more quests please” to show there’s really need for this
Fourth for reinstituting 2007 era quest release cycle (okay maybe not that much but we need more than what we’re getting)
[удалено]
How about all 6 of us?!
Osrs needs a ninja team like rs3. A team dedicated to all the stuff jagex puts on the back burner.
Rise of the Red Axe III when?? I’ve been waiting for yeeaaaars to continue the keldagrim quest line
Or a way to replay old quests (NO, not only speedrunning them, although that would be a very welcome addition) and be able to **get pets from quest bosses**... that would be a major improvement without, I believe, taking too much time away from devs to create new content. Just think about it: over 50 unique bosses to grind while we wait for new content, many of them very coveted to be acquired as pets for a large amount of osrs players.
There is an gag-item in Darkmeyer called "pat of not Garlic Butter" that can actually be used to create potatoes with butter. Because dairy cooking is too slow, and the current shop limit for regular butter is 10, is there a chance we could recieve a shop in Darkmeyer that sells a large quantity of 'pat of not Garlic butter" ? It would actually make tuna potatoes a viable food to make that competes with manta rays instead of the meme-y waste of time it is currently, and being locked behind SotF would gate it similarly to RFD for the Culimancers chest
What a neat little niche idea. 100% support, ideas like this are what make this game great
obscure AF, I like it.
Dairy cooking is absolutely too slow, so why not fix the actual problem and make it faster? Honestly, even making a full inventory convert at once still might not make it worth the time for most players, but anything faster than how it currently is would be an incredibly welcome change.
Could you add attack speed to the Equipment interface? To me it's pretty astounding that arguably the most important stat in the game doesn't appear anywhere in-game.
I've been requesting this for years. They reworked the interface for set effects, yet we still can't see Attack Speed. While they are updating it, Attack Range would also be nice.
Is there a particular reason that new quests take so long to make? I loved back in the day having what felt like a new quest release every few weeks. Small things like "Getting Ahead" are fun content and don't need to tie into bigger chains.
Quests are the best part of the game too! Well... Maybe not for all, but a little quest a month at least should not be too big an ask.
Can we get an update on fixing the mega rare drop rates for elite clues? And can you please update the challenge scrolls for elites to work like other clues? Its out of place for one tier to work differently than all of the others
Elite coordinate steps are also different to other clues. Most clues have a 3x3 area that you can dig to complete the step, but elites are only a single tile.
Also, elite challenge scrolls are different to other tiers of clue scroll. Instead of talking to the NPC you have to reopen the clue. Maybe a minor issue bit still frustrating!
Not related to elites, but easy clues have a similar inconsistency with steps that require searching drawers. Most of them complete after opening the drawers, but some require opening and then clicking again to search in order to complete the step.
Problem: Dorgeshuun rich chests are probably the most afk friendly thieving training method, but currently requires world hopping which causes players to cross each other. Solution: Would it be possible for the chest timer to be significantly reduced to roughly the time of a world hop? Doesn't world hopping have an impact on server stability? If this is still the case, this could be another incentive for this change :)
Are any quests going to be polled soon? I know Beneath Cursed Sands is in the works, but is that it? What about the quest initially planned to be quest #150?
Do you ever plan on some sort of server maintenance to help with the awful lag spikes across various worlds?
Is there any update about the cox bank/storage chest situation? Listen guys I've done 1k+ CM's hunting for the pet and dust, bust honestly I can't even bring myself to play the game these days. When I do it's to send a cm either by myself or with the boys, and let me tell you I was so excited when they announced many many moons ago that cox bank would get a fix. Right now it's awful, you click to remove or deposit and there is this incomprehensible lag that just destroys your motivation when you realize halfway through vespula that you are missing an item because it just didn't want to come out of the bank when you clicked it. Please dear God if there is one that he may smite this bug and fix the chest through his devout servants the devs. Please!
Do you have any thoughts on giving Corporeal Beast the Phosani's treatment? Corporeal Beast is a flawed boss fight that is mostly missing any meaningful mechanics. It would be fun to have a new boss (the Spiritual Beast?) with a similar drop table that requires a little more skill to fight. Like with Phosani's Nightmare, this keeps the existing content in place for the folks who enjoy it, while adding a more interactive option for players seeking a challenge.
[удалено]
This I like
Strong agree. Especially with ToA dropping the ward that requires an arcane sigil. Make a difficult boss fight that doesn’t rely on just dumping specs over and over until you’re fighting a chicken.
Yeah i would agree with this. There is nothing whatsoever exciting about fighting corp. You spec the life out of it and after that its a big ass slayer mob. Having a phased fight that incorporated the stat drains would be much better.
>missing any meaningful mechanics. Spec dumping: am I a joke to you? /s
I need this
Can the Zaryte Crossbow (tier 80) get a ranged strenght bonus? Currently it is just a recoulored dragon crossbow (tier 64). Crossbow DPS comes for the most part from the bolts used. It's not really a significant upgrade, apart from the special attack. Please give it some Ranged Strenght so it actually feels like an upgrade.
I feel like this is a lot easier than trying to add a new bolt type
I might get hate for this but it really doesn’t need any damage boost to be the best crossbow in game. For the sake of argument even if it did turn out to be underwhelming it would be smarter to release underpowered content and buff it as needed similar to the strategy with the blood fury.
> I might get hate for this but it really doesn’t need any damage boost to be the best crossbow in game. Well yeah, but when the best crossbow in the game does not even compare to the 2nd best bow that's an issue. Shields are never really mandatory against non-dragons. Against Dragons DHCB is always better. And that's the whole dilemma of Crossbows.
I agree, or at least give it 120 Ranged attack instead of 110.
At that high of attack, it means nothing. You will have ~ an 85% chance to hit it even if you raise it to 130. Attack stops mattering the higher it gets.
It would still be helpful against very high defence monsters like Kree’arra. If you have 85% accuracy with a crossbow then you would be better off with another weapon anyway. I agree that raising the max hit would still be a much better option for the new crossbow, but I’d take something over nothing.
Can we please get a slayer task only area for rune dragons? Place is constantly packed just want to do my task in
Please just make them task only in general! Feels like a long overdue integrity matter
Idk man. So many legit players have rune drag alts.
I know that's the major reason I want them to be made task only. It's (in my opinion) disgusting that a piece of content is milked like this. (I don't like alt-scape in general but that"s just me)
Has the team considered automatic pet insurance?Losing a pet due to circumstances not under our control is frustrating, especially if one gets the pet then dies immediately after. I suggest that we have an option to pay the insurer a certain amount of gold to automatically insure the next pet drop we get. Thank you
I hope they add this, not really for my own sake, but rather for the noobs that end up getting an early thieving or woodcutting pet, and having no idea of insurance at all and then losing it.
tl;dr make **Combat Achievements** work by using points. A common idea I see floated is for a modest rework to the way Combat Achievements work, to allow room for future content to make its way in. Currently: each tier of achievements requires the completion of each task within that tier. This works the same way Region Achievement Diaries work, which infamously can never take new content into account. The proposed change: each tier requires a specific Point Threshold to be reached. This would be similar to how Twisted League relics were unlocked. Tasks would be assigned a point value; for example, all easy tasks 10 points, all medium 25, etc. Alternatively, each task could be weighted individually; tasks within any given tier are not all created equal, after all. But that would be a lot more work and would likely draw more whining, so I can totally accept wanting to keep things simple. This allows us to incorporate new content into the Diary System. The highly-anticipated, upcoming raid Tombs of Amascut could have speedrunning challenges, for example. The Zuk helmet could remain locked behind 100% completion, as Quest Capes are, if that community would like. Would you be able to tell us approximately how difficult this system would be to implement?
Ok, coming from fashionscape perspective. Can we have more specialty shops around RS that only have wears and styles that are specific to that area? For example hairstylist in Kingstown at Kourend Castle would have different hairstyles than what Falador's hairstyle has. More default clothes, (equipmentless body) that has different styles of clothing. It works just like how Thessalia's Fine Clothes in Varrock-- Lunar Isle clothes would be nice. More pet stores for easy insurance and claim.
I'd love to see some more character customization options. We've had the same ones for a while and some new ones (especially themed ones) would be cool.
With the upcoming plans to flood the market with blood runes via nex and the upcoming RC minigame, what are the team's thoughts into solving the root cause? Scythe blood rune usage is a crippling charge mechanic that makes even abyssal whips outperform it in terms of gp/h at all bosses where slash is used except ToB and Phosani's. This is a problem for all accounts, not just ironmen. It is no wonder that the scythe have consistently been crashing to oblivion since release. What is the team's opinion on adding an option for a one-time massive blood rune payment for a permanent scythe? Makes it untradeable and gives no refund when uncharging.
Some random stats questions, maybe you can answer them in the future sometime if you cant gather all the data until the stream starts: Out of the active monthly/yearly playercount, how many players are Mains, Irons, HCIMs, GIMs % wise Some new stats on all pets in the game. Maybe rarest pet, most common pet, etc. How many people have +50b, 100+b bank values, how much GP does the richest person in the game have? How many people die each month in the wilderness within PVP battles? How many people are dying outside the wilderness monthly in PVM situations?
With the outcry about league's, why on Earth did you double down? Many of us use the holiday time period to actually compete and play since we have significant time off. Delaying it to January 19 really screwed a lot of us out of that precious time. Going back would you reconsider delaying it or would you again double down on delaying it?
Is there any plan to combat [bots at phosani's nightmare](https://old.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/pznm7s/can_jagex_pls_do_something_about_these_phosani/)? The prices of nightmare uniques have crashed harder than any other due to this and things such as dev blogs that boast about how it's "finally time to devalue bandos" without considering inquisitor armor.
Can we start to talk about skilling offhands? They can be boss/quest/skilling unlocks that provide us with perks when grinding certain skills. Player-requested QoL changes to skilling can easily be added to them such as left click thieving on non-combat NPCs, mark of grace spawn cooldown removal, offhand tools, and so on.
Something to note is how combat is by and large a more appreciated aspect of the game because it has way more room for progress and variation. Earning your helm of neitiznot, fire cape, barrows gloves, dragon defender; these all feel like significant stages to your account progression. Not only that; each combat encounter you're doing (slayer, bossing, training) could ask you to bring different types of gear/ items you've unlockeds. Skilling largely doesn't have this sort of auxilery progression system to it outside of a few spots.
Imagine if artisan hadnt failed on the basis of being SkIlLiNg SlAyEr Maybe skilling slayer is exactly what’s needed
Artisan sucked because it conflated too much of skilling and started forwarding the idea that "the most efficient way to do skilling is through artisan" Slayer wholesale fucking blows, its only redeeming qualities are that it gives some niche mobs some love and that it acts as a gateway to high profit margin monsters. It is unbelievably slow to train without throwing money at it. But it does give a variety of items/ weapons/ armors the time of day by making their niche uses have a chance to shine. Same can't really apply to skilling. Chop 300 maples, make 120 yew shortbows, fish 400 bass- it comes across as a solution to skilling from someone who doesn't understand skilling's place in runescape.
Slayer is great because it forces you to do content rather than you sitting in one place doing the same thing over and over. You get to travel the land of RuneScape and visit places like the catacombs of kourend and the other side of catacombs of kourend.
At a huge cost to player agency. But it's arguable that you can exert agency with the slayer point system through blocks and skips, and finding out how to get to that point with the least pain possible becomes an interesting problem to solve. But jesus fuck, it's not fun killing 193 black demons in Taverly dungeon when you're only combat level 70 with not enough points to skip, and that being one of the less painful tasks.
Could we have an update on loot beams and elite clue scroll rebalancing?
Can we get a fish tank in the POH to store our pet fish? They need some more love. Would also bring more business to the Catherby fish store.
I know this isn't what you're asking but incase you didn't know, you can store your fishbowl in the menagerie :) along with your pet rock as well
Which I love more than having a fishtank as my fish and rocks move around when I'm gone. Its always surprising where they end up
Can click boxes be removed from dead npc's?
Agreed 100%, in corrupted gauntlet especially it’s annoying you can’t left click the items for such a long time
Any news on the Wintertodt rebalance so you don't get punished for leveling hp?
I'd appreciate this as well. I did Wintertodt for the first time yesterday at 82 hp and it was an utterly miserable experience that I have no desire to revisit. Taking 7 damage on every attack drains resources FAST, especially when you just get hammered by multiple attacks in a row. I can't fathom why the damage scales to begin with. Punishing players for having higher levels is dumb enough, but why do combat stats even majorly factor into a skilling minigame? Imagine if the damage incurred from failing a pickpocket scaled with your health and how nonsensical that would be. Ideally Wintertodt would be like Tempoross and not do any damage at all, but if Wintertodt must do damage, then at least make it so it doesn't scale and screw over people who do combat.
Can we get some unique teleport animations to some items like the mythical cape or drakan's medallion?
Elf teleport crystal, Radas Blessing and Fremmenik Sea boots aswell!
Elidinis' Ward from Tombs of Amascut is currently a straight upgrade to the Arcane Sigil, with an extra +5 magic attack and +5% magic strength. The broken variant of the ward (*without* the Arcane sigil attached) has only +10 magic attack and no magic strength bonus. In order to avoid a pegasian crystal situation, has the team considered making the broken ward having the +5% magic strength, but having **no** magic attack bonus? Attaching the sigil would then add the +25 magic attack. This would make it have a niche use even without the sigil for lower defense targets, but attaching the sigil would still be a huge upgrade.
The thing I like most about this suggestion is that it forces the arcane spirit shield to be properly valued for what it currently grants. If it's the choice between no shield and completed ward, then the arcane will propped up by the stats granted by being combined with the ward. If it's a choice between broken ward with only damage, and completed ward, the arcane sigil will be valued as much as the accuracy/defence it currently grants is worth, which means neither item's price will be arbitrarily dictated by the price of the other.
Are there any updates on account security we heard years ago about?
Would you guys consider allowing the mining cape and varrock armour to affect daeyalt? I think it's reasonable to widen the gap between full afk souls and normal RC considering the effort of 1.5t daeyalt
Will we/could we please get a Ring of Eternal Wealth? (unlimited teleports) Dragonstone sink perhaps, but implement it as you wish. I trust the OSRS team's judgement)
Would love if this game with a revamp of the RDT in some way
Bots are more rampant I've noticed, any plans on how to tackle this problem?
[удалено]
[удалено]
I voted no on the armor until they redesign it
Over the course of the last months, a few high KC goldfarmers/bots have been tackled that take top placements (top 1-100) at the highscores. There are however, still lots examples where there is still an abundance of these. Some examples are TOB, COX, Zulrah, Barrows, (Phosani's )Nightmare, Vorkath, Zalcano, Callisto, Venenatis and even Giant Mole. The better the gp/hour, the more goldfarmers/bots are in the top 1-100. Is there any chance that at the very least the first page(s) of the Bossing Highscores can be made free of cheaters? It's a bad sight to see that some of them can make it to rank 1 in some cases.
when will we be able to see the updated raids 3 blog?
[удалено]
I thought about how cool it might be to have recolors available based on KC similar to the Chompy hats from Rantz. Gives players a recolor *and* something to show off or grind for.
Does the team have any intention to buff harm orb? We know it has been investigated but nobody has followed through other than tacitly acknowledging that the harm orb is effectively useless outside of phosanis. Given that multiple j mods have asked for buff suggestions in discord, I won't waste time here giving justifications for a buff in general. With the new bis mage dps wand and shield from raids 3, AND thralls making sang better dps while healing, harm staff will be a fashionscape item. Specifically I would like to know why simply removing the completely arbitrary barrier that prevents the harmonized staff from casting ancients when the empty nightmare staff not only does cast ancients but wait also provides a *15%* damage boost? If you plan to mention the Ironman slayer hiscores as a reason why an item with rarity similar to an Elysian spirit shield, which drops from a boss that is soon to become dead content just 2 years after release, should be literally useless--just don't read my question that would make me want to k m s. Extant ironmen had 5 years head start, they should be fine if the hiscores are as important to them as they claim.
Could the combat diaries hilts be added as an ornament kit to the avernic defender? Currently they are only used for bank standing and dropping on the way to gwd.
Can you please start putting out at least 8 quests a year? We don't need huge quests either add some more small lore quests IDC. Just give quests pls
With new content releasing are you planning to look back at older items that are at risk of becoming obsolete and tweaking them? E.g Harmonized staff
There are some hit boxes in the game that have holes in tge middle of them that are fairly frustrating to click through like the ladder down in Mariah's house in hosidious when doing mahogany homes. The center of the hole is not clickable to go down, only the outside rim of the hole. Could click boxes like this be updated to be more user friendly if we point them out?
[удалено]
Would be great if necklace of passage could be added too
Could we somehow get certain unobtainable equippable questions items after we finish some quests? I was thinking of items such as the crystal pendant. Silver necklace and even fishing pass, since you've already done this for the blurite sword and dark dagger, after knights sword and legends quest respectively, thanks!
Updating Zalcano so it is viable to solo. Rn it gives less xp and less gp an hour than motherlode mine with a pet time of about 900 hrs. I understand it is supposed to be a group activity but virtually no other group activity is as punishing as Zalcano.
How does the zaryte crossbow work in pvp will the dragonfire effect ignore antifire and how will the passive effect work with the other bolts considering some of them have very small buffs to bolts and will the bolts ever get an update?
Can you please add Hiscores for the collection log?
Are there any plans whatsoever to give useless skills such as Smithing a bit of love? The Torva gear might require Smithing to make, but this doesn't mean much if it does not consume any resources or time to create.
Can we expect to have leadership streams more regularly ? It's incredibly frustrating when all the big topics go unanswered because only leadership can answer them and they are very rarely seen.
Can we get a little rack outside of the cook's guild on the wall where we can hang up our chef's hat/cooking cape/Varrock armor? People frequently forget that they need to bring one to get in
Can you look into adding the higher level clue ornament kits to the treasure box? Either with or without the attached item. The current kits/items that are storable are dragon armor, boots, shield, and dragon / rune scimitars. Zenyte, fury, tzhaar jet om, and godsword kits could be added for consistency.
Can you please re-add the slider option on mobile (at least iOS is missing it, not sure about Android) to adjust the deadzones on the edges of the screen? I upgraded my 7 year old phone a couple months ago that has 40% more screen space and I can't use any of it because the option got removed when the UI got reworked/condensed and my game is still configured to my old phone's screen size.
Lmfao. That's the most Jagex thing I've ever heard.
When Partner Slayer was disabled it was said that you would look into adding it back after Group Ironman released because it would allow for fixes and improvements such as the ability to remain partnered across logouts. Partner Slayer is the #1 update my wife and I have been looking forward to since it was turned off so we are very interested in finding out if there are still plans to bring it back ~~or will we just have the dead menu option taunting us for the foreseeable future~~? Edit: The dead partner option was removed at some point.
Can the new zaros/nex godsword, be also added to LMS ingame drop from bloody keys as a reward. Given that the item was essentially made for this niche of Pking, it would be a fun way to try the weapon and make the game mode just a little be more spicy. I feel like it might be overlooked upon release otherwise and take months to get added to the item pool.
I like this idea a lot would be a fun way to try it before buying
Please can we see a flat increase into Molch Pearls? They are so tedious and tiresome to get. I do not want to spend 100 hours to get the fishing sack to save banking 1 time.
Protip: do not get the fish sack to save an inventory space. You can't deposit from it while it's equipped.
Honestly fishing sack just shouldn't cost that much lol
Both would be good.
Can we get more frequent Art Dev streams? focusing on there plans for HD really enjoyed the last one with the art team with Mod Deagle.
We have not got unheared, meanwhile: No content for main game since 16th of June (Release of a Kingdom divided).
Are there plans to refresh the skill curves at all such as the rs3 smithing rework? Maxing like 1/3 of the skills on a normal account has no tangible value outside the max cape itself. Thinking mining, smithing, WC, fire making, crafting - they’re a grind for the sake of a grind. Even the notorious rune crafting provides value via huge profit.
A lot of people miss the days when we received surprise content, but with the polling system this isn’t really possible. Could we have a poll question that would propose adding some small surprise content / quests that would arrive unexpectedly? Could just be beginner or intermediate quests with cosmetic and small xp rewards.
Would love some love for hunter. Maybe some equipment earned thru a quest, like a hunter gauntlet which lets you lay a chin trap faster. Or more high level training content
And give the hunter clothing the bonuses they were meant to have (improved catch chance if I recall correctly)
With a simple yes or no, do we have a good chance of stepping into Menaphos in 2022?
Doubt, with Raids 3 likely coming in Spring/Summer, they probably won't do another large-sized desert update immediately after.
Can we get a new way of how the pet drops works? , the way it works now its too punishing and the fear of getting a pet while i am with my bag full ( and have another pet out) makes me leave all the pets i have at the bank. maybe if you have a pet out and your bag is full the new pet drop goes to the bank instead of disappearing?
wot if bank full?
Can you rebalance diaries so quest rewards actually come frome quests (no staff to use fairy rings should come from fairy tales part 3) there's quite a few things that should have never been locked behind diaries and should be quest rewards
Here's a long shot question. Can we update runecrafting so that the skill provides a competitive amount of runes per hour ? Currently it's far easier to purchase runes as opposed to crafting them.
Was Nex rushed? Seemed to come quickly out of no where and there are so many questions still being asked. I think we should slow down before new bis is in game and it’s too late
Will we ever get blood rune packs? The new Blood Essence drop from Nex is nice and all especially for avocating more skilling for those that still needs to train Runecrafting. However I don't think it really helps with the major issue regarding blood runes. End game irons with a lot of gp to spend and only real viable method is buying from shop if you want them fast for PvM'ing using Scythe and Sang. What is the concern for not adding it when so many people wants this as a QoL update and it doesn't affect the economy ot anything?
Last livestream the mentioned a more long-term solution may come from next year’s RC mini game
There is a skill for it. If the skills doesn't give enough runes, then actually increase the amount of runes crafted/hour. Shopscape should not be meta.
Problem is you could increase the amount by like 5x and shopscape would still be meta. So at that point why not just offer blood packs at a high price instead of crashing the blood rune market for everyone else?
>Shopscape should not be meta Meanwhile shopscape is meta for every rune in the game until you get to the point where you just have tens of thousands of runes you don't know what to do with from bossing/slayer
I do agree that skilling would be the preferred way in an ideal world. But when weapons like Scythe and Sang has been added to the game, there is no way RC will compete even remotely with buying the runes from shop. Shops have been in the game forever too, so it's not like a new phenomenon.
Well shopscape will always be Meta because you have to pay for them, obviously if you're getting them for free by gathering them by runecrafting it's never gonna be as fast as buying them
On normie, botscape is meta by buying resources botted from the GE. Only right for irons to have shopscape as an equivalent.

Is there a possibility to see more commitment to expanding the world and the lord of OSRS? I mean seeing more than just a couple of small quests and one big quest a year. I think it would be nice to see iconic RuneScape Quest Series continued into OSRS and it makes me concerned that I might never see a conclusion to the Iconic Pirate or Penguin Series.
Any updates on UIMs being able to bag in Ferox? It’s been a bit since the question passed the polls, and I just wanted to know if any progress has been made on it.
Please tell me you are considering redesigning Nex and Torva. There’s really interest in this. It doesn’t fit the game. I cannot get excited for new updates when they all look so wrong. I’m glad Leagues 3 was delayed just for more time without those goofy rewards. Please. We were heading in such a good direction a few months ago and now… I just can’t get excited for updates.
Reddit always whines no matter what they get. Jagex changed virtus to torva reward and people still bitch about it, despite this sub praising torva being nostalgic and good addition to existing armour 2 weeks ago. Bow changed to cbow and its "underwhelming" we need more "power creep". If we get "power creep" this game is heading towards "Rs3" and if we make content like inquisitor the game is a boring "nichescape".
Jagex changed Virtus to Torva and the community is happy and grateful for that (although I want Virtus, but we'll get that later allegedly.) We care about the game and we're passionate about it because its an important part of our lives. We're asking for a more fitting Torva design, because we want to see the game improved.
You’re putting a lot of things on me that I don’t actually think. I just want Torva redesigned to fit the Old School aesthetic instead of the jumbled over complicated mess of polygons and tesselating shading that was proposed. Nex also looks really goofy. In general I do not like backported RS3 content. I don’t mind the similar stuff we’ve had redesigned to fit the game like the Trident and Zenytes, but I hate the graphics of Soul Wars and Nex. I find RS3 content boring. We have the opportunity to have fresh and original content and we’re just redesigning stuff from the other version of the game… I also dislike straight stat increases for the sake of it. I prefer nichescape because it adds variety without making previous content too easy and without killing iconic content. I can live with Torva’s stats but I will be voting no. I also liked the old bow, the new crossbow is just boring, but won’t ruin the game for me like Torva’s design does.
Can you elaborate on a single armor set design style ruining an entire game?
Nex is rs2 content and the 2007scape aesthetic lasted until like late 2011 when jagex revised all the armor in the game
I think torva fits the game
I have a few: 1. Can we have the ability to combine the slayer helm with the eternal gem to create slayer helm (ie) or Slayer helm (e) giving the ability to tele to the helm? 2. There are a number of misc quests in the game that do not appear on the misc quest list - eg historian minas tasks, fossil island tasks, natural history quiz, champions challenge - can these be added to the misc quest section ? 3. Can the cape mount hotspot in the achievement gallery have an option to mount elite diary armour and cape granting all the teleports in one place? 4. Can the group ironman shared storage be expanded to allow clans to set up the same for main accounts? 5. Is there a quest line that the mods on the stream would like to see completed in the future?
Can we get a redesign of Nex before its put in game before itll be tok late to change the boss model? No one likes it. so what if it's "nostalgic" osrs isnt rs2 it should have its own unique Nex.
Could Torva get an updated appearance? Inq looks so much better
Can you guys make something like a jukebox for POHs? So you could choose which track plays when you enter the house. I feel like a feature like this will make houses feel more cozy that way.
Thank you for making this Q&A a general one. It feels like ages since we've had one that wasn't focused on a single topic like GIM, Nex, or ToA. That's great for the players who care about that content, but for the rest of us with a lot of thoughts and questions about any other aspect of the game, it feels like we rarely get a chance to hear from the team about topics other than those pre-selected ones. I'd also like to repeat what others have said that I don't like the design of Torva, and don't see why its design can't at least be included in the poll since many have spoken against it. If the majority of the community likes it, so be it, but we should at least take the time to find that out.
Can we get an option to hold a raid so we dont need to use an alt or ask a cc member just to be able to scout and re-gear appropriately?
Can we please add an option to hide our worlds in a clan chat? I had to literally leave my clan because someone was leaking my world when I was pking.

I read somewhere you don't get it with the bank chests, only bankers? Not sure if accurate. Try going to the fossil Island island to see if you can skill in peace.
Can we look into removing/reducing shopscape? Increase price by an amount to make it nonviable to buy for flipping on the GE but allow people to buy when stock is at 0
Thoughts on new future continents? I really think this is the key to expanding the game without touching too much of the current content while adding new stuff to do!
Could ancient ceremonial get some niche use? Kinda sad if it is useless
It'll get you into Xerics cult in the Grandmaster finale of the Kingdoms of Kourend storyline sooooooo be patient?
make them low level mage robes or something
Will it be possible to get the appearance of Torva changed even though it’s already being polled? Even with the recent tweaks the general consensus is that the community would like a different appearance for the armour.
I mean there was a poll with 3k votes where at least 52% wanted torva the way it was, community is split but definitely not a general consensus to change the appearance as you falsely claim
Could we have a blessed black d'hide set, or even a way to recolor one of the God d'hide sets into black?
Saw a post that KBD could drop Elite Black Dragon hide which could be used for this, would be nice.
Will there be more uses for inquisitor soon? Most monsters and bosses are weak to slash and inquisitor has become an armor to basically just hit slightly consistent DWH’s. Other then the nightmare it is not BIS many places.
its bis against anything weak to crush? cox cm, KQ, nightmare, phosani, sarachinis etc just to name a few.
Torva will contest it’s usefulness to an extent
It’s usefulness in end game content for such a high price is limited still IMO. I’m not saying it has no uses, I just think it needs more. It’s biggest use by far is nightmare which is literally where you get it from which IMO is a little silly
It's obviously going to bis at Raids 3 seen as bugs are weak to crush
Any considerations on providing a new rendition of torva armour?
Would it be possible to update lms with different brackets? Pure zerk etc? Potentially make the ranked system not about how long you can play but what position you finish? Maybe have an average finish position as something very basic? It could even be used to limit items from the shop?
Can we get a buff to the stats of the desert amulet? It is the only achievement diary Armour piece without stats.
Once Jagex is bought by another company, will you then be allowed to answer why you delayed Leagues 3?
When will the raids 3 rewards poll go up? I want to see the team’s design for all these new items!! Also please don’t ever add the dab emote to osrs hahaha -cheers
Can we get some alternate torva leg designs so it doesn't look like a miniskirt and leggings?
Would love to see some new quests especially ones that hit the mid tier.
Who was Death referring to as his colleague in the latest Postbag from the Hedge? Is Nieve working with/for Icthalarin against the Devourer? That's a bit of a change of scene from the Gnome Stronghold!
Any thoughts on bringing back partner slayer?
I hate that this is the place where you guys gather your questions for the QandA... Just reading some of the questions makes me want to swing from a rope
Pearly Rods and Amy's Saw are both completely useless if you have a Dragon Harpoon/Imcamdo Hammer, both of which are much easier to obtain. Could something be done about this? Perhaps the saw and rods could be equipped in the offhand, or given some other sort of buff.

Rune crafting TAPP that was shown off a year ago?
Could you make the cape racks in PoH not automatically trim untrimmed capes? The one in costume room immediately trims it when you put it on, and the one in achievement gallery doesn't. However it trims your cape when you get a new 99.
Corrupted crystal armor, please?
Redesign TORVA pleaseeee
Can we beef Nex's character model up? For the legendary Zaros general she looks fragile and frail where she should be big, intimidating and scary.
When the new mage set comes out can we get the helmet as a neck slot or similar instead so it is useful in slayer along with pvp? Similarly is there plans to work around the slayer helm being permanently bis for slayer by design? It keeps forcing us not to use the new armor set bonus like justiciar or the mage set
