i find the lack of mod presence really disturbing.
people are really confused about this weekend and still not a single mod is clarifing anything.
- What exactly does expanded drop table mean
- increased chance for rare drops --> rdt or unique drops??

can we just get like only a single response to our questions from a mod?

still waiting

Original message details are unavailable.
Figured I'd post here to clarify a few points. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the design vs implementation, as I'm not in the office today - there's no one I can clarify this with, so I'm just using my common sense vs what I can see in the code, as well as checking any documentation we have. Regardless, here's my findings:

Double drops:
-Double rare drops are indeed the rare drop table only. Unique drops are not doubled. This looks like this is by design, so this is likely a communication error. As far as I can see, this is working.
-Adding an extra charm for single charm drops appears to have been missed. I saw this via my morning forum trawl (not social media :P ) at about 10am BST, I hotfixed that so it should now work. Yes, it's the weekend, I got up at 10!

Bosses:
-The Kalphite King, Vorago and Barrows: Rise of the Six have increased chances at hitting the unique drops. These are not doubled. I can confirm Vorago is included too, I'll edit the newspost in a moment to state this.
-The mole drops double loot. This is likely due to there not being an expensive unique drop.

Ring of Wealth:
-Using the Ring of Wealth has increased chances of triggering. However, double the effect does not mean double the chance of it triggering. It works by lowering the drop "roll" number. So, for instance, instead of having a 1/128 chance of receiving something, the chance may be lowered to 1/125. On this weekend, the reduction is doubled - so now, there's a 1/122 chance. If that makes sense.


now stop bitching.

^ Still ridiculously inconsistent.

Why couldn't Vorago be mentioned initially, and stop making tens of thousands of players ask the same question?

Why couldn't this be posted on THE MAIN DISCUSSION THREAD FOR THE TOPIC THAT'S PINNED AS OPPOSED TO ONLY POSTING IT ON SOME RANDOM PERSONS' THREAD?

And on a side note, the double rdt drops thing still is iffy. As you can tell, even he is unsure:

"As far as I can see, this is working."

See. Because seeing and testing are really the same thing. Well it wasn't tested and it still is not working. Many noted rdt drops are not being effected, most clearly those that have an exact amount they always drop in their noted form such as silver ore (100), runite ore (100) and so on.

They shouldn't mention that the ENTIRE drop table is affected if it indeed is not:

Double amounts of all rare drops, and the ring of wealth doubles in effectiveness.
Double amounts of all rare drops

Clearly not.

Just because a mod posts about this shouldn't blindly convince you that everything is A-OK.
