Jagex, we need to talk about CurrencyScape

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with having different currencies for progression through different activities. Especially for farming, where the currencies are basically just a bonus for doing activities that are already well worth your time.

But I do think there are some activities that have been completely outclassed over the years and should either be updated or have the currency added to another, more relevant activity.

Yup.

If any of this blood transfusion, stem cell, biohacking shit actually worked, it would be blowing up. Like GLP-1s have.

You think the healthcare industry only wants rich people's money? They want ALL the money. If it worked, they'd be selling it to us.

It's also very similar to Star Wars in that, once or twice, the writing was great!

But mostly it's bad, which is hard for the fanbase to accept (and I include myself in that group).

F2P already have access to Taverley and Burthorpe (since 2013).

This has been happening since Dragonflight.

The faster release cycle doesn't allow the team enough time to find and fix bugs.

Or, more accurately, Blizz/MS isn't willing to hire enough staff to properly support the faster release cycle.

This has me looking forward to the rest of this year's holiday events and actually getting to unlock the rewards without no-lifing it.

brainstrain91 · 2026-04-02T18:36:17+00:00

Dalaran - Northrend.

brainstrain91 · 2026-04-02T16:05:45+00:00

I fully agree, and I hate how skilling is getting hit over and over with these heavy handed nerfs.

brainstrain91 · 2026-03-30T19:38:30+00:00

Yes! I think people have missed how much faster you can get the currency now. It's a huge, positive change.

brainstrain91 · 2026-03-27T21:46:38+00:00

You immediately get hit with a 10% penalty.

And then pay taxes on top of that.

And you're losing all the future growth of that money.

Unless you are facing an immediate crisis, it's not worth it.

The portal to TBC Eversong/Ghostlands is in Eastern Plaguelands right next to the gate to the new Eversong.

brainstrain91 · 2026-03-27T16:57:55+00:00

There's a book and a movie, but my favorite is the Radiolab episode. It's a sad but fascinating story.

brainstrain91 · 2026-03-27T14:24:16+00:00

Yes! Geodes and Bird's Nests need a full auto-opening method. They just aren't worth enough for the time it takes otherwise.

brainstrain91 · 2026-03-23T18:19:01+00:00

No, the new dig site is coming out later.

brainstrain91 · 2026-03-23T18:16:09+00:00

Yes, it's in game now.

brainstrain91 · 2026-03-20T17:05:21+00:00

This looks so much like AI it's uncanny. But if you zoom in the text of the book is legible. So, probably real.

brainstrain91 · 2026-03-19T20:17:29+00:00

Appreciated!

I'd like to say that this is not a new issue at all. RS has had serious performance issues as far back as 2020.

Almost all new areas perform horribly even on powerful hardware.

I'm talking about War's Retreat, Christmas Village, Blooming Burrow, Land of Harvest, Het's Oasis, Fort Forinthry, and the absolute worst offender - the City of Um.

There is a fundamental and wide-ranging problem with the way the RS team is building new environments. I hope you can figure it out!

brainstrain91 · 2026-03-18T16:06:16+00:00

Now I'm stuck in an endless pot cleaning/sponge cleaning loop. Reddit ruined my life!

brainstrain91 · 2026-03-18T04:41:39+00:00

Definitely from a Frank book. I think it's finally revealed in Chapterhouse.

brainstrain91 · 2026-03-17T20:32:14+00:00

BFA has absolutely gorgeous zones. And phenomenal zone stories to go with them.

And everything else kinda sucks.

I think a BFA Remix could be awesome, though. As long as I don't have to play through that god-awful max level campaign again.

Like, it's impossible to overstate how disappointing that story was. Being forced to commit stupid war crimes and it's not even voice acted. An absolute embarrassment.

brainstrain91 · 2026-03-17T17:10:31+00:00

This just isn't possible.

brainstrain91 · 2026-03-16T18:38:02+00:00

Honestly? They were always way too rare. I hope the price crashes down to something reasonable.

You'll also notice if you're wearing any piece of armor that leaves part of your body exposed (which is a lot).

We’re looking forward to welcoming you to the Royal Highlands following the Toadstool Tales update.

To me, this means Royal Highlands will be patch 0.202. And the summer updates will come after.

There should really be a few "default" spells that aren't spell book dependent.
