As if it wasn't already easy to navigate everywhere. At least to balance this out, bring back the 30 minute cool down period that was with the old home teleport spells. This would bring back the use of amulets of glory and other teleport items that were made obsolete with the lodestones.

I think many of these new Loadstones will definitely be useful for Penguin Hunting as it will speed up hunts.

An idea for new Loadstones could be the Wilderness but that's just my thoughts. In regards to some people's posts about Fairy Rings, I've a thread up about making an improvement to it. Check it out here .

They stated in the BTS that they would be expanding the functionality of current teleportation equipment.

When I saw the Isafdar lodestone a small part of me died. The eleven lands, along with places like Sophanem are meant to be ridiculously hard places to reach. The only teleports there are costly, and to get there you need to have high stats. It's meant to be pretty much another world, when I first reached this area it showed me how big the world was. The world is shrinking. Lodestones need higher requirements, like a Runecrafting/magic level to build and a time set on using them.

it's updates like this that make me feel like i'm getting too old for this game and it's waay to easy now.

YEEEESSSSS!

I loved the original Lodestone update, and adding more is simply incredible! Thank you so much, Jagex! =)

As for future Lodestone locations, I had hoped to see a Gnome Stronghold Lodestone, but since you're adding an Eagles' Peak one, that may be pointless. =P Maybe not? Just something to think about! Also, perhaps a Sophanem Lodestone...what's that, you say? Not useful? Hm, maybe if Menaphos opens up, we'll have a use for it... ;)

Love, love, LOVE the Lodestones - thanks for a wonderful and well-needed update!

good point, an idea(combining several ideas here) is we should have requirements for certain loadstones, cool down timers for some of them like canfis and eagle's peak or Tirwan, however i think that jagex should perhaps an new semi random event with this where the loadstones degrade and eventually requireing repair, so they can't be abused and our teleport items are safe from harm (for the most part)

Please, please, please put requirements to these.

Make it to where you have to complete certain quests for that area.

Require you to build them with a high construction level and magic level.

Make it cost thousands of law runes, 20 limestone bricks, and a magic stone plus some special material for each location, such as an elf crystal for Isafdar, to build them.

It makes no sense to just add these to the game like you did with tool belts. Let us use your construction and magic skills to give us an advantage. Let Quests be more rewarding instead of less rewarding by having quest requirements for building them. Please, do not just let these be added just to kill off more content!

If you're going to do that, make it a level requirement, not a material/fiscal drain. That's not necessary.

It NEEDS to be both. Are you not realising how op these things are? They should be a luxury earned not given. Having material requirements to build it makes sense. The only thing you could scratch would be the magic stone (that was a bit excessive.) What are you going to build it out of, dirt? That extra ingredient also requires certain quests to be completed. I.E. requiring some mushrooms from Mort Myre swamp, that you can only get after the Nature Spirit quest, to build the loadstone.
