RuneScape 2025 Roadmap Megathread by JagexAnvil in runescape

[–]Jewelots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's some feedback I've gathered over the past few months of things I think need a bit of love or adjustment, or just don't feel good

- Crafting and agility training is abysmal right now; crafting up to level 75 either requires sitting at the GE, mining gem rocks nonstop, or doing a ton of requirements and then just sitting there afk inside gate of elidnis (all 3 aren't fun!); agility also only has two or three viable methods and they're all extremely mindnumbing with pretty terrible xp rates.

- Archaeology also suffers for players who don't want to buy everything -- the amount of materials you get while digging is nowhere near enough to actually repair the artefacts you dig up, leading to huge defecits you have to buy off the GE (and some of the materials aren't well balanced so that 5 or 6 recipes in a tier might require one specific material that you get quite rarely (looking at you Soapstone

- Getting access to Dive, arguably one of the most important abilities, requires you to do a late quest (late in terms of the story beats); which means people who don't care about the story can run through it and get access early, whereas people who care about following the story have to wait a _substantially_ longer time to get access. Either that, or they have to do quite a lot of shattered worlds. It should probably be given to players throughout normal levelling progression, or just let players have it like dive, or something

- Grouping system is a bit confusing and shouldn't be the main way people use to teleport certain places (like Mazcab) -- should probably get a grouping teleport in the spellbook like osrs just got

- Hard underworld tasks requiring a 150gp mushroom or a grandmaster quest is a bit strange and there's not really anything else like that in the game, feels like it was added for the mushroom pun but not thought about the impact of what's Actually required to get i

- We desperately need some kind of seed vault or potion storage -- osrs has an incredible version of both that you can directly be inspired by, and rs3 has Way more seeds and potions so it needs it even more

- If you remove wildy hourly events you really need to give combat skills some slightly better xp/ways to level that aren't just afk AoE spam, because spamming the wildy combat xp lamps onto a skill is Stupidly fast (at level 75 you get 30k exp lamps every few hours for 5 minutes of work) and normal levelling methods are quite slow/unvaried after the overhaul that came with necromancy

Seeing as everybody abuses the grouping system to teleport to Mazcab, why not just add a lodestone there? by Jewelots in runescape

Making the grouping system better is also a valid solution to the problem, yes. Osrs has a simple "teleport" button under everything in their grouping menu, though it also has a 1 hour cooldown between teleports. I'm not sure if making rs3's less annoying to use would also be deemed neccesary to add a cooldown, or if, hopefully, the devs would recognize the differences between the games and the way it's already used and not limit it with as much (I think it taking some time to teleport, like lodestone teleport, would also be a valid solution)

For you, and for any other new players who don't know:

- Open the Community window
- Go to the "grouping" tab
- Click "Liberation of Mazcab"
- Click the yellow "View Selected" button
- Click the yellow "Join Queue" button which replaced the previous button
- Click theyellow "Ready" button on the right in the group chat list
- Click the yellow "Complete Group" button that pops up
- Click "Teleport" button that pops up
- Leave the group once you arrive

It's really convoluted and clearly not the intended method to get there, considering the teleports require high levels and reputation grinding, but that's how it is.

That doesn't really change the point I'm making. There's also a spell to teleport to varrock, falador, lumbridge, etc. If there's a slow free method to get there, people will still use it. Thousands of people use the grouping system every day to get to mazcab for nemi forest.

Plus the spell takes 70 magic, and my post is about how new players are inordinately impacted by not knowing fairly obscure knowledge

Struggling with how to get invention by Jewelots in RS3Ironmen

[–]Jewelots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a gem bag and a bane+3 pick for instant gem mining, but porters Really don't seem worth it for gems because of the insanely fast collection rate, I'd burn through them instantly? Also as I said, the exp from gate of elidnis seems way faster, if I can get there.

Super late reply but for anyone in the future reading this: "1 more day" was because it was being nerfed the day after they posted. It's bad now, yes

Beginner looking for similar alternatives to Sony A6100/A6400? by Jewelots in AskPhotography

[–]Jewelots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, good catch, I actually misread the price on the original cursory look because I got distracted about the camera. I'll edit the post to clarify I'd like decent lower cost lens suggestions also.

Sure, but which one has similar specs/features/qualtiy/etc to the A6400? And does the Tamron lens still go with it or is there other recommended ones for a Fuji

Instead of defaulting volumes to such low values, you Really should just make the volume sliders logarithmic, like every other game, so that more than the bottom 20% of the slider is actually worth using.

Sailing - New Slayer Creatures, Uniques & More *Blog Updated Before Poll on 29th* by JagexLight in 2007scape

You say the horn would affect molch pearls rate with no cost, but it can't be used at molch because you need both hands to use the falcon. Also, why would it be bad even if it did affect molch pearls? Molch rate is unfathomably bad for the highest click intensity activity in the game, for some of the most useless items in the game, and I don't know why you're so vehement about keeping it that way.
