Should more items be made available to spend your stardust on?

There isn't much your able to spend your stardust on. Since the update to star mining, this minigame has seen a rise in activity.

Maybe add xp rewards for one? 1 xp rewarded for every stardust for example.

GOTR change: XP for placing cells, even when at full health or reducing amount of guardians so the portals actually take damage. Huge XP/hr loss if someone heals it right before you and you miss out on 250xp because of another player.


Pets addition: Add age to pets so you can see how old it is

Lazy cats: Make it wily from fighting the behemoth and add some indication on how far away it is from being wily again. According to wiki it's just random?

Music change: Have location-based music play on completion of an achievement diary task. This is done for Karamja already, but it doesn't look like any other diaries have this feature. I love the Karamja jingle, it gives me the sense that cooking that spider on a stick really accomplished something. I'd like to hear it when I give that rusty sword to that one guy as well, but have that jingle be Ardougne-themed somehow.

New Barrows Content!

Don’t get me wrong, the Barrows Brothers is a brilliant piece of mid-level PVM content that is extremely nostalgic. However, I have been thinking about how it could be expanded to create some additional challenging higher-level content and rewards.

The Basic Concept:
Introduce a new Sliske story line quest that provides more of the background surrounding the creation of the Barrows Brothers. This quest could potentially follow on / branch off from the Desert Treasure storyline. Completion of this quest will unlock a new crypt that exists deep bellow the current Barrows Brothers loot room and contains a new high-level PVM duo boss (similar to the Grotesque Gardians).

How this fits into Runescape lore:
Currently, there is no mention of the Barrows Brothers parents in OSRS lore. I am proposing a concept that Saradomin had empowered the parents of the Barrows Brothers, Athena the wise and Vulcan the powerful. This was in order to persuade their children to fight for him in the God Wars. Sliske was quick to identify Saradomin’s plan and rather than killing them decided it would be fun to persuade the parents to serve him by providing them with the same artifacts as the Borthers. However, these artifacts proved too powerful for the parents and Sliske, fearing they would attempt to take the brothers from his grasp, decided to kill the parents. They were buried deep in Morytania to prevent Saradomin ever finding them, and a powerful necromancy spell was cast on their tomb ensuring that if anybody did ever find them, they would regret it.

The Quest:

The quest would be started by speaking with the Strange Old Man after completion of “His Faithful Servants” and potentially at least Desert Treasure 1 (maybe 2). The Strange Old Man would ask the player to help with the upkeep of the barrows crypts. This would involve upgrading the wooden struts, doors and clearing rocks within the tunnels (high level construction and mining requirements). After this, he will produce an ancient gem which needs to be repaired and attached to the chest in the centre of the tunnels (high level crafting requirement). Once the player does this, the floor in the centre of the loot room will give way, revealing a deep hole leading to the crypt of Athena the wise and Vulcan the powerful. Once this has been completed, the crypts will no longer start to collapse when the chest is looted, there will no longer be rocks and debris scattered throughout the tunnels, and the player will be able to open any of the doors within the crypt. This will not include the central mechanism doors which will still be random during the barrows minigame. This will be the end of the quest and the new PVM content is unlocked. Completion of this quest WILL NOT affect the current barrows minigame apart from improving some of the mechanics as already mentioned. The boss fights will remain the same as will the loot.

Athena the Wise and Vulcan the Powerful:

Athena and Vulcan will be a difficult high-level PVM solo boss that require the player to use specific mechanics to defeat them. Players will access the crypt by deploying a rope in the loot room of the barrows minigame. Upon entering their crypt, the players prayer will be completely disabled and there is no way to restore it. This will be an instanced area and if the player dies, their items will be retrieved by the Stange Old Man who will charge 100k to return them to the player. The fight will be started by the player attempting to loot the crypt in the centre of the room which houses the bodies of Athena and Vulcan. Athena will use both ranged and magic attack whilst Vulcan will only use melee. Initially each boss will take it in turns attacking the player until they reach 20% health when they will both attack at the same time. There will be mechanics used throughout the room that enable the player to avoid some or all of the damage for certain attacks. This fight will very much be a tank test and require the player to have high level defensive equipment and food.

The LOOT!:

I am proposing that the main reward from this PVM content will be Athena’s and Vulcan’s armour. This will consist of a helmet, body and legs armour.
Athena’s armour will have an 80 defence, ranged and magic requirement to wear whilst Vulcan’s armour will have an 80 defence, attack and strength requirement.
Athena’s armour will be a hybrid ranged/magic armour and have a set bonus that enables the wearer to use the set benefit of either Ahrim’s or Karils’s when their respective weapons are equipped. The armour will provide a %3 magic damage bonus and +3 ranged strength bonus (+1 for each piece). I am currently unsure what the defensive stats will look like, however this can be tested to ensure it is balanced.
Vulcan’s armour will be a melee armour and have a set bonus that enables the wearer to use the set benefit of either Dharok’s, Guthan’s, Torag’s or Verac’s when their respective weapons are equipped. The armour will have a +5 strength bonus (+1 for the helmet and +2 for both the body and legs). The defensive stats will be slightly better than Dharok’s as well as providing the strength bonus.
Both sets of armour will be looted in a broken state and require charging in order to gain their powers. This will be done by providing a new item “Barrows Scrap” and coins to the Strange Old Man along with the item(s) the player would like to charge. Barrows Scrap is obtained by breaking down the Barrows Borthers equipment (this should give less desirable barrows equipment more demand and increase its value). A helmet or weapon would provide 1 piece of scrap, legs 2 pieces and a body 3 pieces. 3 pieces would be required to charge each piece of Athena’s / Vulcan’s armour along with 100k and would last for 10,000 hits.
A secondary reward would be Athena’s necklace which would be a hybrid ranged/magic necklace that provided a slight damage bonus to both styles as well as defensive stats.

COX PRIVATE STORAGE


Now that Cox is gettin changes, is there any chance to change how private storage works?
If u are ironman, making potions for group raids is pain in the ass because private storage doesn't stack:

vials of waters,
buchu leafs,
any raid potions.

Example:

if nobody in 3 man CM raid doesnt't have for example 90 construction, which means you can only do medium storage unit. Ironmans have to make potions in private storage which have only 60 slots. you put your raiding gear (16 items example) and 2 inventories of vials in private storage, now storage is full and there is no room for buchus, so you have to drop vials or buchus on ground and make potions like that. its unneccesary time waste and when you put your potions which you made in the storage, they are not stacked
