Vic would actually also be quite a good idea: He could sell small/medium prismatic lamps and purely cosmetic items to f2p. But I would introduce that alongside with being able to use bxp, as it shouldn't be easier to store them as free players.

Discarding bxp on the other hand wouldn't really be a great idea: It could probably lead to some short-sighted decisions, followed up by demands to restore them. It doesn't hurt them having it I would say (it would be even a past members problem if I am right? Or can pure free players also accumulate p2p bxp?).

In other news: Treasure hunter off-hands are now available fo f2p, so I removed them from the list. Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

Pertaining to your previous question regarding the accumulation of BXP in P2P skills, the answer is yes. Some players who have not spent a day as a member have in fact gotten some BXP via prismatics and whatnot. Many of these players are seasoned free players, some of them accumulating hundreds of millions of experience points. It is rather evident that most of these players have little intention of actually becoming a member.

I believe the ability to either reassign or simply discard this BXP would a nice touch for these players. As it stands, the BXP in P2P skills would never be of any purpose to them, why not give them a chance to repurpose or simply dispose of it?

Okay thank you I didn't knew that - for that I'll think allowing it to use with vic would be the cleanest solution.

I think allowing to claim (most - afaik 200m isn't possible) p2p rewards was part of their intention not having free players to throw away too many rewards (which I can still remember very well from my pure f2p time). Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

All amazing ideas, but sadly, I really doubt they'd ever bother making this many improvements to F2P. :(

Which is a shame, really. Because a better F2P experience makes it all that much more likely that a new player would want to keep playing and become a member. I get moody during that time of the month. You know, with the full moon and all.

The problem with Bonus XP is that some of it comes from RWT, some from daily spins, and some as ingame rewards. So a part of it is earned, and another part is obtained through cheating. I wouldn't mind Bonus XP being available IF buying spins was P2P only. Otherwise I would rather keep bonus XP P2P only, even during BXP weekends. I don't want cheating to be part of F2P.

*Sighted Maple Shieldbows are nerfed to tier 35
Regular ones are T40, no logic whatsoever

Support for T40 splitbark becoming F2P. Support for T10-T40 staffs becoming f2p but just make battlestaffs and mystic staff's f2p to cover half of this then make a Mystic elemental staff for T50 and make a T20 staff

Don't make corrupt dragon last longer. Spear is stupid as it is (I know you don't pvp because you suggested that)

Add T60 corrupt elder shortbow/ corrupt dragon darts/corrupt obby staff/black *'hide corrupt/corrupt grifolic

Last thing, give F2P monkfish (debatable) it is very hard to survive mid-high level pvp with swordfish and anchovy pizzas in some cases of stupid lucky hits (getting hit 1900-2000 at the rate you eat 1400) and a heal of 1600 would be fair to stop this. Possibly add new food but give it a higher hp level (85-90) to recieve the full 1600 to stop lower level PK'ing being impossible
^^These should balance the current F2P problem of corrupt dragon being unbalanced and very overpowered

- Maple is 30, Yew is 40 - the maple sighted one is currently buffed by 15 tiers (30->45), which will be redundant when a sighted yew one takes in the 45 role.
- We would need completely new staves as members also don't really have too much of choice, mystic staves in generel are quest locked, battle staves could be made available, but this would leave open too many gaps, that could be filled with ones made by regular wood
- I think they should just get rid of that asinine degradation mechanic (corrupt dragon) and replace it by one that makes it useable, a slight buff to duration could add in a bit of incentive to use it (and even then it will stay extremely expensive to use). To balance combat out I had suggested magic/ranged counterparts.
- I think giving new fish to f2p could hardly be done as they have filled up to food palette already up to t50 (which should be most commonly the line to p2p content), even though it could go a bit further. T80 is way too high for f2p content. At most I could think of a t60 one that could be obtained via the wilderness for example (similar to fury sharks in p2p).

The balancing issue in here is it being unfeasible to balance out every situation at any level (and thus should be focused first on the higher ones), but they can at least provide somewhat even grounds by allowing everybody to use at least same-leveled equipment (when this is done they can start playing around with the numbers). This would go in too far into the combat system though Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2
