As much as I love questing, every time I run into puzzles I get stuck as I'm not puzzle savvy. If we could be given the option to skip the quest puzzles for *X number of millions of coins*, just like in the monkey madness quest. As I can remember, I'm stuck in *Back to the freezer and Dead and buried quest* due to the puzzles. Shield of array quest got changed to eliminate the dependency on other players, it would be as awesome to eliminate dependency on puzzle completions.

It's a simple update but life changing for some. Please make this a reality.

When it comes to a feature like this, it's important that Jagex is careful about how it's implemented. We don't necessarily want players to simply buy their way through quests with gold. Plus, puzzles are often intricate, fundamental aspects of a lot of quests.

However, I recognize that some players are indefinitely stuck on certain quest puzzles.

If anything like this were added into the game it would need to be very carefully balanced.

But this applies to those players who don't like high level combat as well. I'd much prefer not to have a boss to kill in quests but we still get them.

However, Jagex seem to have taken on board that players who don't really like PvM but love quests and have put in options to make the fights easier so I don't see why the same can't be done for puzzles (without buying the solutions).

I didn't find the puzzles bad in Dead and Buried, the slider puzzle was only difficult because the middle section positions weren't that obvious but definitely doable for me. Perhaps making an option for fewer pieces would help?

Yeah I'm gonna use a random link. Lol. No thanks.

Also I have a very very serious problem with puzzles and my brain. It simply does NOT work. I don't know why but it's real. But I don't want to pay 100m to skip a puzzle. That's crazy expensive.
I'm currently stuck on not being able to finish a quest because of a puzzle myself. It really sucks.
As for some others not wanting to fight a boss I totally understand that too. On my main account I've done about 1/2 the quests and MOST of them (85-90%) REALLY suck in one way or another. Quests in games are supposed to be fun. These resally are not. MOST of them. Some are actually cool. I do quests because I HAVE to to unlock stuff. Otherwise I would'nt do a single 1 more in Runbescape. The quest team needs an overhaul.
As for why I'm on this account and not my main like I mentioned, for some reason I can "logout" but when I click "login" again it wont let me put in another account info tol log my main. Nice work again Jagex.

Agreed. Back to the freezer's puzzle was quite difficult as I never played the game it was based on. Jagex needs to add the option to pay raptor 100m or even more since he would lorewise go through tons of gp in repair and supplies cost as a signature hero. I can see raptor asking the player for 150m to solve the puzzle for them because he's annoyed that the player has paid the gnome to solve the mm puzzle box and word about that got to him or if the player did that themselves then he's annoyed that the player thinks only 100m is worth a strong warrior's time to spend on a puzzle when he could be getting back to combat.

Let players pay for quest puzzle solves even if expensive. It needs to happen.

It's nice for people like me who only have one account, not so much for others like you who have multiple.
Anyways, try to login from the forums, rather than from the main page. Since for me, if I do that, I get asked to input my login credentials. While if I were to login from the main page, that is skipped and I'm logged in instantly.
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Thank you! That worked!
I've yet to try "Back to the freezer" but I am stuck on the "Back from the Dead" quest puzzle. Yes it "shows" you the tiles in the right place. Yes clan mates have tried to tell me how to try to figure it out. My brain simply doesn't comprehend puzzles. It really really sucks. But again I don't want to pay 100m to have it solved either. My total wealth may be a lot but my cash on hand is not. I've spent it all. lol. Thanks for your time, I never seem to have enough of my own.
