Did you see what the MSR did to the D&D falling stars?

Did you see what the MSR did to Ithell VOS?

Perhaps you didn't see the ruination of the Star Sprite mining bonus.

Or the complete garbage results when taking a sip from a Perfect JuJu Mining potion.

So after the ruination of mining and smithing, what's next? The only thing that the MSR did, was create a template for future skills that currently have a Make-X, Make-All, option, and rework it, so we can make one at a time, and slow the skill down. After all, who needs 28 cooked rocktails anyway.

-caused them to be taken offline for bug fixing for a week.

-literally nothing that I'm aware of.

-I forgot that mining bonus even existed. Just looked it up, seems to be a chance of additional ore. Useful!

-I never leave home without the incredible perfect juju mining potion bonus.

-it was incredibly satisfying crafting my own trimmed masterwork, and I keepsaked full orik+3 and got the aetherium set for good measure because I loved how they looked.

I'm not sure how they'd change cooking, but it wouldn't hurt to do something about how raw food costs more than cooked, causing me, when needing cooked food, to actually find it more effective to sell them raw, then buy them cooked on the GE than do the process myself. It is a little strange . M&S had that, but drastically worse as 99 smithing was needed for t50 long-redundant armor.

I'd say construction and agility rework should be top priority. WCing should get a similar rework, functioning like mining and adding the new tiers of axes. "log spirits" tempting but let's wait to see how stone spirits play out before making such a drastic change to pvm profits again. Headcanon Haven, where everything is made up and the points don't matter.

The cooking thing has been since skillcapes tbh, and I doubt it'll ever change to where cooking something profits until there's a food item that gives no xp plus always has a chance to burn no matter what. People want dat ex pee and dem skilly capes yo.

As far as the rework goes, change might be scary but it's not necessarily a bad thing.

You now get relatively the same xp rates across most ores now. Yeah the lower ones give a little less, but it's not THAT much anymore. Like what, 20k/hr less between top and bottom I've noticed?

Smithing seems slower cuz you're making less items, but if you follow the creation process all the way through to burial (as intended for best xp) it's the same if not faster, with the same relative cost.

Mining now has the potential to profit across all ores whilst giving good xp rates, not choosing between a shitty profit low xp method and a no profit high xp method.

Mining is no longer RNG competitive based.

You no longer have to wait for a specific time (VoS) to gain decent profit mining; or constantly world hop and track spawn timers to make sure you keep consistent profits.

Smithing has the choice between best xp rates (purchasing full upgraded sets to turn into burial) at a cost similar to best xp methods pre-rework, or moderate xp rates with profit/no loss (making aforementioned sets to sell to people wanting the absolute tippety top bestest xp rates) instead of pretty much always costing monies.

Masterwork was doomed to fail as the best profiting simply because of alt-scape. Jagex didn't underestimate players , they underestimated how many would use multiple alts AFK to pump out large amounts of em while the pumping was good. (lul)


Change happens, it ain't the end of the world. Just get used to it, it's a game after all.

Just go play OSRS, that'll teach Jagex a lesson.

Current player population

14k people rs3
59k people old school

It seems that quiet a few people do follow your advice.
Rs3 could be better then osrs but it is not and it has less players.
So many things in rs3 are way better and more awesome then in old school,still it has less players.
How does this come? It can only be because there are also a few things which are way and way worse then osrs and those things most players find more important.
It hurts to see,with every new update you get your hopes up. Maybe this is what will bring back rs3,but no it never happens and it only gets worse.
In 5 years rs3 wont be there anymore at this rate. At one point the amount of players will fall below a certain tresshold that is needed to create a somewhat dynamic and interesting multi player game and that moment isn't that far off anymore.

I still hope jagex will change rs3 fundamentally,you never know.
Maybe eventually they will because osrs does not have mtx.

The competition with mining,that actually was fun lol. Social interaction and dynamics,it was hilarious to see how some people acted when someone else stole their rock
Now rs3 is becoming more and more like a single player game. Its all so dull :(

To be honest, training mining for a bit really did show that mining and smithing wasn’t needed at all. The skill just became more afk.

What it did, was ruin pvm big time, introduced a massive inflation mechanism in the form of spring cleaner 100% alch and and generally destroyed any desire to train mining in the first place. Smithing I would say is better, that we don’t have to run around like headless chickens with inventory full of bars to make platebodies.

As to the question of the thread I think next to go will be summoning, for the same reasons as smithing, or construction. But construction can at least bring some useful features into the game, looking at you osrs.
