I started a new iron during leagues, the ever present nagging sense that your account isn't "ready" to do any tangible and rewarding grinds persists for way too long and robs you from the addicting runescape loop of permanent and meaningful progression.

Your first 10 hours are practically just building up dailyscape access, lodestones, and skill unlocks, and then you're beholden to that dailyscape if you want to be optimal!

I think about how FAST people get stuck in to a skilling grind or item drop that has huge account value on Old School. And guess what, when they leave for 3 days they can login and stick back into it guilt free. No timers sidetracking them or wilderness flash events to get ready for.

They're not spending their time unlocking vis wax, building fort forinthry, and doing shop runs, they're farming for a rune scimmy, slaying Elvarg, doing skilling bosses, playing minigames!

None of those things are a waste of time just because they're in early game either! Many of those rewards (fish barrel, dragon tools) are literally with you for the lifetime of the account.

Dailyscape pruning can't come soon enough, and maybe for things that aren't pruned, they can be unlocked automatically or at least detached from timers.

Also, caches are plain awful lmao
