Batwing and Carapace are now available to free players for crafting, Batwing has its crafting levels required fixed additionally. Let us tackle the tier 40 armours now! ;)
...or studded leather and perhaps access to Silvarea for amazing views and a few extra bats :D

Are there so few bats in the f2p area? There should be a few quick respawns in the Lumbridge catacombs and the patchnotes said they opened up some other spots as well...

Wouldn't mind though if they were to open up Silvarea, but I think this is out of the scope of this thread and the ninja team Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

Have recently read a bit Mod Stu's Twitter - quite a bit of good stuff there listed, both content and QoL wise.

Where did you read the changes about the Warriors Guild? Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

The reason Warrior Guild is to be opened to F2P is because Jagex has introduced defenders to F2P lately.

The problem here is that this is equipment that is currently not obtainable as they are untradable and can only be found within the Warrior's Guild. Indeed on reddit it is confirmed that this is coming, but didn't quite made it to the patch previously.

Cool to get new stuff, but I wonder how useful it's actually going to be. Defenders are barely used in P2P outside bosses where you have to tank. Considering KBD requires an anti-dragonshield and the mole doesn't have valuable drops, where-else would you use it? I can't really think of a situation where I'd sacrifice my DPS for some extra protection, as NPC's in F2P aren't that damaging. Even at revenants a 2H weapon would be much better considering you want to K0 them to prevent them from eating. So I'm really not sure howmuch quality of life the defenders add.

As for Silverea, a couple of quests are a nice addition, but generally you complete them and are done with it. In P2P I have nothing to do in that area, so I wonder if there's anything for F2P. Maybe it will be another Burthorpe/Taverley, extra land without actual repeatable content.

I tested rune defender in f2p, a bit of friendly pvp. it was AMAZING. The extra shield ability options made dual wielding that much more potent in 1 on 1 combat. sure, it has half the damage output of a regular rune off-hand weapon, but that doesn't seem to be much of an issue here. This also makes the sighted magic shieldbow rather potent as well. I wouldn't use this in situations where pure dps is required, but they are strategically sound now.

Silvarea is kinda pointless. A couple quests and that's it. I've already done them, more than once, and let me tell you, they are painfully quick and simple. I'd rather see more QoL stuff. Get rid of corrupt dragon entirely(seriously, degrades too quickly and its unbalanced anyway), give mages some battlestaves and mystic staves of basic elements, maybe make a few of those p2p-only standard prayers f2p(not the chivalry/piety/equivalents)... That kind of stuff. Also f2p fletch please.
