the choices of monsters for wood spirit drop tables feels really good to me

[robust cedar]

Just realized there was a more appropriate channel, but once again I'm loving the stone spirit drop tables listed here. It feels very much in-line with the right level of progression for each of the tiers, and whilst most don't apply to me, I'm still very excited to see them there for everyone they will apply to.

[tidal pagoda]

Do i understand it correctly that blood reaver has a fixed cooldown of 3 seconds now, and that mostly the dps/poison buff is altered?

[autumn stream]

Thank you for making premier tokens a proper currency

[plucky perch]

I saw that wood spirits have been added to some monsters. Can we expect more and more log drops to be slowly replaced with wood spirits?

[fossil pelican]

rip blood reaver

[light trout]

Is there a summary of the work done during Game Jam somewhere? Not the overview, but some of the end results

[drifting vine]

The wiki often has a page where people collate things from various social media, haven’t looked but I assume there’s one this time too? [[game jam]]

[charred prism]

Wiki links found:
https://runescape.wiki/w/Game_Jam

[light trout]

Ty!

[toxic nexus]

So if I’m correct.. aod now does drop less logs

So people who would do the skill won’t get less logs than 1 aod kill?

[drifting vine]

(I assume not everyone posts about their projects, so don’t assume it’s comprehensive)

[toxic nexus]

Or not that much

😄

Giant Mole!

(Now dung hm needs xp and token increase) cough

[feral iris]

Somehow all the images in the newspost are displaying properly for me.

Idk what happened, but whoever made this happen, thank you

That said, if the update is due in 4 minutes, why isn't there an in-game display countdown?

[covert wing]

#runescape message

[left pier]

that doesn't add up

[thick plover]

i'd like to see runite stone spirits being given an additional source aswell, current sources are extremely poor

just to highlight the best ones:

• AOD (secondary table, eg, only if you're not one of the top 7 players (why does she drop something so low level anyway??))
• gargoyles, spiritual warriors, glacytes and mature grotworms (appropriate, but they drop ONE at a time)
• crystal chest (nobody gets excited about spending their crystal key for 3 spirits)
  Every other source is so pathetic they're not even worth mentioning

[wispy wraith]

dates right, day will be updated

[livid cedar]

"Premier Membership Tokens can now be added to the currency pouch"
Is that premier reward tokens? because I can't figure out how to add those to my currency pouch. they dont have it as their right click option.

[wispy wraith]

Update hasnt gone live yet

[livid cedar]

oh, lol.

[tardy zenith]

"Competitive Group Ironman players can now enable XP Share when Dungeoneering in Daemonheim."

Is there a reason that only comp GIMs can xp share? The team I play in only plays with people in our group, I understand not xp sharing with mains, but should be able to xp share with your own team

[faint thicket]

@plush crown is there any plans to rework araxxi base pet drop mechanics, currently 2450kc and no base pet even rerolling 90% of drops

[tulip temple]

https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/1gplc2u/comment/lywin8l/

Still no fix for the h'ween music track not being unlocked for those who missed the event 😦

[sullen imp]

it's gonna be hotfixed within the hour ^^

[modest flume]

Do I understand it right that reaver damage from healing doesn't trigger poison anymore?

[sullen imp]

should be fixed now ^^

[quartz frigate]

No specific plans atm outside of 110WC&F post-release

Todays changes were modest in order to guage the effect of introducing them first

will try and see where we were by 110WC&'s release and add/remove/adjust then

but no plans for wider scale replacements atm

[near badge]

It does make sense with the nerfed healing but at the same time. Damn its sad

[sullen imp]

I'm happy y'all removed some of the useless salvages from droptables in doing so 😂 thank you for that!

[quartz frigate]

Will try and get a specific list of changes to the Wiki admins later today

so they can update the pages with more info

[modest flume]

Reaver was super OP, but boy did I love poison build for Arch Glacor

[toxic nexus]

Getting through ways from skilling and not combat would be nice as well.. or somehow in a faster way etc

[toxic nexus]

Apart of that, there is still quite a gap between certain resources if you look how fast you get it through bosses, slayer and skilling. But that’s not something for the coming time I believe.

To make certain slayer mobs or without slayer more interesting and skilling on it’s own.

@quartz frigate Hey

How was it decided to choose the names of the pickaxes ones?

Apart from the other nice names we have seen over the years and the recent reddit/discord channel 😮

Or will that be something for later during a CM or twitch 😮

[quartz frigate]

strictly speaking it's no different to how there are multiple "imcando" and "crystal" tools etc. so thats where the same naming comes from

but we've changed the names now anyway after the feedback

[toxic nexus]

Ah and what will they be called now?

[autumn stream]

Hatchet of death and life

[toxic nexus]

Had no problems with the names, it does fit, wc is also life and death. But it did feel a little weird to take the same name as idea after asking names from players 🙂

[toxic nexus]

Oh, it is changed from new names to this

Alright 🙂

Nice cosmetics

Finally a more simple and good teleport, like the bat emote 🙂

Asking a few questions about patches.

Not sure why, I guess due a bug and have to test it now again after this patch.

But when I go in to a fight or just doing some other activity and I want to use dive it shows a red cross instead of the icon, so it won’t work.
To solve I have to unlock and lock abil bar again. Can happen multiple times in a game session. If anyone had this before.

I remember asking this as well many months ago.

[quartz frigate]

will reveal either in the blog or leave till release

[toxic nexus]

What is the reason we can’t use bone brooch in the wildy? Can be nice for a video or screenshot, same like using ring of trees in the wildy?

And same for the duellist cap and wildstalker helmet? I believe we can’t upgrade both helmets like we did before for the other tiers, versions and emotes. Duel arena gone and pvp dead

Alright ty!

Something small, is for another suggestion. But there are a few other items I know about that can’t be reclaimed (Diango etc) after keepsaking.

One of them are the squirrel ears. So having the actual ears to do the emote is impossible (or make it an emote and pet)

Another one are the shark fists, you can reclaim them and change the tier and so the design, but the keepsaked ones won’t change.

Just adding this here due being a related bug. 🙂

This one is perfect! ❤️

[tawdry elm]

When will the TH rewards be buyable with RC to achieve a larger goal than what TH does on it's own?

Also no black friday solomons sale?

[low pivot]

Jagex certainly has a knack for killing content. Reaver will be dead content now. 🙄

[modest flume]

Reaver shouldn't be the better healing option over unicorn anyhow, imo.

I'd rather see the the healing be completely removed from reaver and keep the poison.
Have a scroll to activate the 'old' effect for 30 seconds or something.

[brisk oxide]

Some very fancy HP buffs, especially for F2P. Undercooked mystery meat can now surpass even sharks.

[tulip temple]

Oof I missed that! Thank you!

[glossy vault]

Out of curiosity, why is the Witch's Outfit/Potion Pandemonium promo happening a month after Halloween? Would've been nice to get it earlier. Additionally, I would've much preferred to see an autumn harvest/Thanksgiving themed promo/event happening this week instead. Thanksgiving cosmetics like the Mackers pet haven't been available since 2016 for seemingly no reason. Something to keep in mind for next year.

[restive copper]

Is it me or is the tank armor update bugged I tried on my masterwork gear and I didn’t see an increase in my hp

[modest flume]

Because mw is power armour, not tank.
It just has a tanky effect

[proven thicket]

Looking forward to seeing the blog for next week's event this week!

[toxic nexus]

I had the same question and thought

Still want the pen in Lummy filled again with turkeys, something small but fun 🙂

I have Mackers, but it's not an override.. still many aren't 😦

[toxic nexus]

If there is no Lil Santa Claus pet, I quit 😄

...

For a day or so :x 🎅 🎁 🎄 🐶

[toxic nexus]

Also need to mention winter weekend and fenrir, hati & sköll. But lets put winter weekend under christmas for now.

[wispy wraith]

Gonna tell ya now they have nothing to do with Hati & Skoll

[plucky perch]

I think Hatchet of Fire and Harmony would have a nice ring to it.

[delicate nacelle]

I'm looking for the advent calendar that the in-game calendar says is on the newspost, but I can't find anything

[near badge]

wait til ldec

[delicate nacelle]

Feels weird for them to say "take a look" when there is nothing to look at.

[tawdry elm]

Will those rewards be returning with christmas?

[thick plover]

there's actually a decent chunk of common runite spirits on the RDT, but its removed if you have atleast t3 luck

feels like that's also a good one to change

[agile escarp]

Did auto retaliate break in this update? Me and my friends noticed that if you walk somewhere and stop walking and get attacked you will not attack back, but if you attack something and are being targeted by multiple targets, you will auto-retaliate them

[toxic nexus]

Yeah, It feels like winter weekend, but it isn't 🙂

[toxic nexus]

A wolf pen in christmas village where Fenrir, Hati & Sköll can be summoned? 🙂

[toxic nexus]

Alright!

[plucky timber]

Free the wolves!

[limber river]

I know at least one other person has asked this, but I didn't see a reply: Why can ONLY Comp GIMs get the use of shared XP in Dungeoneering? It is understandable to not be able to do it with non-GIM accounts in the party, but as with the other asker, my group only does Dung with our GIM group in the party. We were not too surprised, though a bit irked about the lack of shared XP BEFORE this update, but figured it was just par for the course with an Ironman account, even though GIM is supposed to be well, a group activity. But with Comp GIMs being able to get shared XP, but non-Comps NOT getting it? 😒

[proven thicket]

It's most likely because regular GIM can dung with other Ironman/Hardcore Ironman accounts, but CGIM can't.

[barren ridge]

Will we be getting a Black Friday Solomon sale?

[limber river]

Then it should only be set to only be able to share XP within a GIM group, and any other Ironman accounts don't participate in that shared XP. If regular, non-GIM Ironman accounts, Hardcore or not, are in the party, they wouldn't be able to participate in it anyway, because Ironman doesn't get shared XP. I just feel that if the Comp-GIM can get it, the non-Comp should too. But only within the group, as the whole idea of GIM is to do stuff as a group. Dungeoneering is apparently excluded from that premise, I suppose. But only for some of us.

[toxic nexus]

You mean burn them 🙂

[toxic nexus]

I guess there will be one, but not sure, that's why it is a guess. I believe last year we had one, even during summer there is one iirc

[proven thicket]

I can imagine that would be kind of hard to rework the code to have only specific members of a dg group allowed to share xp. There's a reason why regular and competitive GIM modes exist. One doesn't penalise you for doing group activities with others outside of your group, while the other does. DG isn't the only exclusion, CGIM also has free private boss instances, unlike regular GIM.

[brisk oxide]

Can the protean shake treatment of turning it into P2P items be done on silverhawk downs and feathers as well? Last time I checked agility is a P2P skill.

[plucky timber]

Free them from their existential chains

[toxic nexus]

6 upvotes and 3 downvotes, burn the downvotes!

[barren ridge]

is there really no Black Friday Solomon's Sale this year?

[wispy wraith]

I am not aware of any sales unfortunately

[plucky perch]

Who is the saint who brought HP bonus to melee, ranged, and magic tank armour to match Necromancy?

[barren ridge]

Will there be a January sale at least then?

[stray nimbus]

@molten igloo I know it’s past game jam week… but any chance that Jagex could come out with an area achievement system for the gnomes?? They’ve been heavily neglected, especially since Underworld got a new set of tasks before the gnomes even got one. 😦 sadness.
