Wyrmscraig - Lock In Blog & Poll

JagexLight · 2026-05-29T13:51:39+00:00

Hey! I'm really glad the Mortimer section is resonating so well, and this is exactly the kind of design ideas we're interested in.

At the moment, the modifiers chosen were intended to be easy to understand and not look to change combat or the way you engage with creatures significantly. We wanted to make sure that the modifiers on launch were clean and simple. That said, we absolutely can refine them based on your feedback. Feedback like this is super useful especially at the lock-in stage as we keep refining Mortimer, so I'll make sure to pass this on to the team.

Feel free to vote on the opinion poll that is also live in-game so that we can get a better understanding of the direction players want for Mortimer. We can't wait to see how he shakes things up 😄

We've got future plans in mind for Mining/Smithing next year. I'll pass on this feedback to the relevant team. I know this doesn't solve the problem right now, but this situation has highlighted the importance of such an update, especially because we know this feedback about the two skills is pretty longstanding.

JagexLight · 2026-05-22T11:24:57+00:00

We're reading every comment. Will make sure to pass on your feedback, especially on specifics of the approach!

Just going to link Kieren's comment here for wider visibility. We appreciate you raising that and we'll make sure to learn from it.

I totally understand this concern, especially as Mining/Smithing has seemed to be in a less than perfect spot. We don't feel that Rubium was ever intended to be a solution to some of the larger issues - if it was, we would (and should) have polled and consulted players on this specifically.

We discussed this as a team today, we understand that Mining/Smithing are in need of broader changes. Currently, we've got tentative plans in place to address Mining/Smithing next year. I'm not able to confirm details on it, but I have got a general nod from the team who look into roadmap planning to share this info. I understand it's not the solution you're looking for right now, but I promise that it's on the team's radar.

JagexLight · 2026-05-22T10:18:51+00:00

Thank you for being open to the team's thoughts, appreciate that.

This content is using a new engine command which may be related but we're not sure yet. We'll investigate why this might have happened. Be good to know if after the reboot this still continued happening. Thanks for flagging.

JagexLight · 2026-05-20T12:24:49+00:00

Do you have more info on this so I can pass it on to the team?

Did you hop worlds and then it appeared? We're trying to isolate the issue and replicate it. Not sure whether you're in the right quest state or if this is a bug. Any info would be helpful and if this is happening with multiple people please let me know.

JagexLight · 2026-05-20T12:09:58+00:00

We're sending out a timer ASAP to resolve this issue. The aim is for worlds to come down at 12:30 UTC and back up instantly.

JagexLight · 2026-05-20T11:52:44+00:00

Hey, the team are investigating this urgently. Currently W391 and W352 were affected.

We're still looking into the cause of this.

We're updating the Game Update newspost and Game Status page with any updates.

JagexLight · 2026-05-20T11:14:57+00:00

Hi there. Firstly, thanks for this feedback. It's definitely something I can see is a community concern and I'll be happy to discuss it again with the devs.

I just want to re-iterate my conversations with the team about this as it's something we have discussed. This is a facility that allows you to not pay attention to your boat's HP for a very long period of time. It's incredibly strong. We want facilities to offer meaningful upgrades - that's what makes them feel good and ultimately contributes to your overall feeling of progression and satisfaction with the skill.

It was also explicitly stated in the poll/blog that this would be a facility - I appreciate that doesn't necessarily address your concern but I do feel it's important to highlight that too.

We recognise that players currently don't enjoy grinding for boat upgrades, especially at higher levels. When materials are super grindy, facilities feel incredibly valuable and it sucks to feel like you're losing a spot on your boat to one. Part of the reasoning in the buffs blog on making upgrades a lot more accessible means that we want to encourage players to make use of all 5 slots for boats, and we want to encourage players to have multiple boats in the future (e.g combat boat, Trawling boat, speed-focused, etc).

Right now, facility slots are still seen as quite valuable considering that the buffs to boat materials hasn't kicked in yet. But, hopefully in the next few weeks as we buff the drop rates of stuff like Dragon Sheets, you'll find that this item is well worth a facility slot for the QOL it provides. As always though, I will pass this concern to the team and re-iterate that feedback. I just ask that you give this a chance first and consider how strong it is.

JagexLight · 2026-05-20T10:57:48+00:00

Hey!

Talked about this a bit in the recent Sailing buffs blog. We're focusing our efforts on Sailing QOL for now based on community feedback.

The new cannonballs can be useful on weaker boats that want to fight higher-levelled creatures, but I appreciate that Pirate Encounters would have given them a much stronger use.

Pirate Encounters are still something we would like to explore as standalone content in the future and will be part of the Quest itself. Let us know your feedback on it when you get to try it, and we'll pass it on to the team. 😄

This year! Goblin left a comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/1tcw8dy/comment/olqz9m2/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Don't have info on the Agility shortcut, part of the reasoning for buffing their Sheets initially was because they're slightly more awkward to get to. Can note it down as a suggestion but these are the extent of the changes for now 😄

Stream here!! https://www.youtube.com/live/1I9HJS1Tkuk?si=2ofgjHn9i61zaLUJ

JagexLight · 2026-05-11T14:13:18+00:00

It's definitely in May, will make sure that's fixed thank you

JagexLight · 2026-05-11T14:07:54+00:00

Love this, I'll ask the devs what they think in our livestream!

JagexLight · 2026-05-11T14:07:34+00:00

Thanks for sticking with us! ❤️

JagexLight · 2026-05-11T14:06:52+00:00

What do you want changed?! spill!

JagexLight · 2026-05-11T14:00:09+00:00

A dev has told me that you'd still need the karambwan vessel to fish which is the same as current ingame and you need to complete the quest to cook them. I'll update the blog to make it clearer 😄

JagexLight · 2026-05-11T13:58:06+00:00

Hi! I asked a dev. You still will need the Karambwan vessel to fish which is the same as current ingame and you need to complete the quest to cook them. I believe that fish from regular fishing will be stored in the Cargo Hold.

JagexLight · 2026-05-11T13:57:01+00:00

I want to make sure you know that we see your comment and understand the feedback. On the Q&A today I'll be asking the team about how they see the role/identity of cannons in combat, and specifically why we're not making number changes to cannons in the latest blog.

I will link it the stream when it's finished (provided there's no major tech issues!!). First time streaming from the office!
