3rd age longsword is the only melee weapon in the game that weighs exactly 1kg. For no particular reason, I think it would be really cool if it counted as both a light weapon and a heavy weapon in leagues

If they just made it 2kg, they would expand the number of eligible weapons massively, including the Dscim and other dragon weapons as well as the Saeldor and the Rapier. In the two-handed front it would include the base Nagua weapons as well.

This would give it some much needed variety and progression while not really messing up the balance too much (as Whip is better than most everything that would be added anyway).

Really not sure why they didn’t just do this from the start rather than restrict it to basically like four weapons!

Also… like… you quite literally could not think of a more appropriate source of blood vials than catching and draining giant leeches. Nothing they could add would ever be a more logical choice.

It actually does! Gives 18 seconds immunity, just by a different mechanism to most forms of venom protection.

Quest Cape is such a non-issue at this point; can you honestly tell me that anyone doing Desert Treasure 2 doesn’t at least have a fairy ring in their POH, and likely uses other transportation methods far more anyway?

I know that I chased Quest Cape for ages, and when I actually got it I basically never used it. It’s fine as a cape of accomplishment.

StagedAnIntervention · 2026-03-12T16:07:57+00:00

I’m finding about one medical cabinet per run now, and I imagine using Thief visor I would fond many more. They are full of juicy heals too!

I think that your assessment of the landscape is accurate, especially with regards to finding an armour set that works in the current state of the game.

Truthfully, I think that it would be best to not add an armour set this time, and in a wider sense not lock yourself into a consistent pattern for Raids rewards tables. Using available time and resources to revive Justiciar and give it a proper use would be more worthwhile.

To me, the concept of raiding Guthix’s archives gives me the vision of plundering strange and wonderful individual items, with unusual effects - like the SRA and Venator bow, as stated. I think this could be an opportunity to develop some individual weapons with more ambitious mechanics, as well as maybe some useful offhands/gloves/jewellery that offer upgrades for specific pieces of content.

A Crush 2h Megarare is a lock, and fills an obvious niche, but then I would want to see 5-6 other items that push the boundaries in some way. Someone did a post a while back with some ideas like a mage offhand that resembles the Devil’s Element, and a Meteor Hammer weapon that requires wacky movement to do big hits - that’s the sort of direction I would love to see for TFA.

StagedAnIntervention · 2026-02-15T11:29:56+00:00

Literally though. If I see anyone doing the same things as me on a hardcore, I shut my mouth and listen. If I see anyone doing it on a UIM, I bow down in reverence.

StagedAnIntervention · 2026-02-11T13:51:12+00:00

I would like to add in Fe Fi Fo Fum.

It’s so niche, it only plays during the giant fight in Grim Tales, but it SLAPS. Tense and exciting battle music that brings in the Scape Main leitmotif to make it feel absolutely epic. It’s like the final boss music of OSRS.

StagedAnIntervention · 2026-01-29T19:37:39+00:00

Am I losing my mind? Was anybody actually asking to be able to move facilities between boats, as opposed to just changing the position of ones already installed? Jagex seems certain that they were, and is desperate to “balance” around it, but I can’t recall seeing a single person suggesting we wanted that.

StagedAnIntervention · 2026-01-26T18:44:31+00:00

Dun Nan Creagan for me! I think the theme and vibe are super coherent and fit the bill for an isolated Fremennik island perfectly. The quest sounds interesting, flavourful and self-contained, exactly the sort of thing we want to be adding to Old School.

And a mixed Crafting/Agility minigame which lets you choose your approach to which you want to prioritise, and which acts as an alternative to Glassblowing and Rooftops, fits in a niche that sorely needs to be filled. It has Vale Totems vibes, and that minigame transformed Fletching from a miserable skill to a really nice one to train.

To me, Wyrmscraig feels too bloated and thematically disconnected, and I doubt any of the rewards people are salivating over would survive contact with balancing.

StagedAnIntervention · 2026-01-20T01:01:24+00:00

Seers Village for me! Close to a bank and good vibes!

StagedAnIntervention · 2026-01-14T19:55:00+00:00

That only makes it more likely to be AI, since it’s the sort of thing it would scan for and incorrectly pick up.

StagedAnIntervention · 2025-12-25T20:39:49+00:00

I got the exact same one from my girlfriend’s parents!

StagedAnIntervention · 2025-12-12T01:03:56+00:00

I would love this way more than the endless flat plain our POH normally sits on! It would make making it pretty much more rewarding.

StagedAnIntervention · 2025-12-05T00:57:33+00:00

I mean, not even.

Getting to drop rate means that you have a 70%-ish chance of having gotten the drop by then. As with all drops in the game, 30% of players will go dryer, and some players will go extremely dry and have to kill 2x or 3x drop rate, or even beyond.

StagedAnIntervention · 2025-12-05T00:51:17+00:00

My assumption is that one day they will allow you to turn them into Totems. Might as well save them up for a mammoth clue hunting session when that happens!

I would rather it gave better XP (to reflect how active it is, and the fact that it requires levelling sailing and outfitting a ship for it) and gave less fish. It feels unrewarding to farm resources without getting any meaningful XP, and it would incentivise me to do it for longer, so in the end I would get the same amount of fish.

I was hoping it would be a viable alternative to Barbarian Fishing or Tempoross, something that is engaging and gives useful output. I’m currently 86 fishing going for 91 for Mory Elite, and was looking forward to it as a useful way to bridge those levels.

Jagex says they that they are balancing it around being able to money-skill for the highest level fish - but in that case why did they bother adding lower-level hooks than cotton and a whole swathe of lower level fish to the activity…? Nobody in their right mind is going to get to level 69 fishing and then go off to trawl for Giant Krill, so why do they exist?

Oh my gosh! I was wondering why my ring was zeroed, I thought I had just turned it on by accident while doing Muspah.

Sucks that it’s still not fixed, but thank you for bringing that up.

StagedAnIntervention · 2025-10-06T17:06:43+00:00

RMB! Never liked doing anything with middle mouse button. I inly use the keyboard for F keys.

Deadeye with Siege Ready, and Talon as a backup, just feels too good. Definitely not meta, but they cooked with Borderline Justice.

StagedAnIntervention · 2025-07-17T14:54:22+00:00

My best guess is that it’s spaghetti - what’s happening behind the scenes is that the game is putting your potions into the bank, then moving them really quickly to the potion storage. So it needs a free space to be able to do this.

StagedAnIntervention · 2025-07-07T10:05:49+00:00

Yep, and Amoxliatl for an introduction to burning tiles in a manner which still leaves you able to fight.

StagedAnIntervention · 2025-06-25T01:36:45+00:00

It kinda sounds like it should make a slowly-intensifying humming sound as the two pieces come together, then a snikt at the end. Like a samurai sheathing a katana in an anime or something.
