when they rework things, i would like to see the main parts of the old quests still being used sort of a base inside them...
like using the prison escape from prince ali rescue (which they didnt do)
or the disguise from black knight's fortress (which they did do, but saradomin jus magicks one up... instead of you having to find and kill a dude wearing it or making it yourself)
and demon slayer is all forms of different now Carn

Please rework Heroes Quest. It really needs the multiplayer requirement removed, especially since Shield of Arrav doesn't have it either.

Monk's friend needs it too. Like, really bad. Honestly we shouldn't keep a quest bad because of nostalgia. If you want nostalgia, go play it on OSRS.

Same goes with Imp Catcher regarding the nostalgia. We do NOT need a quest where completion is dependent on a RNG. This is 2017! Leave it the way it is.
To those cursed by war and pest, Come into the light of Armadyl and rest. This is the law of Armadyl.

I believe these are pretty much done and awaiting QA/graphics. You never were our brightest star, Khazard. 'Vermin slaughtered like lambs'? What does that even mean?

Pirate's Treasure:
- Add a quick blurb in lore why exactly Karamja Rum is a contraband item.
- maybe make a small improvement to the reward chest
Someone else did a mention of this in a google doc. Like improving the general gp value or adding a unique ring (imagine a F2P accessible ring that gives a +1 invisible boost to Fishing, or has combat stat boosts comparable to the Beacon Ring or Pathfinder set Ring)


Jungle Potion
Like you said, nothing wrong with the lore of the quest.
But maybe do something with the herbs post quest? Like a wild equivalent to Guam, Marrentil, and Tarromin?
They have a slow respawn rate. So it's not like having them be used to make Attack, Strength, and Anti-poison potions would be game breaking.


Vampyre Slayer
Agreed.
At least saying the stake and hammer are made from Blisterwood (or from a hybrid plant that they tried to cross-pollinate Blisterwood and a second plant), you would have 1 reason why it killed Count Draynor.
As to why he turned to ash, that's where you can get into "something happened to the stake" (ie: not a 100% blisterwood, a silver blessed unguent doused on it, it was made from a fragment of one of the original Sunspears, etc)
Yeah, the Attack XP reward should become a generic combat XP lamp reward.

I wouldn't say Monk's Friend is necessarily bad, just very simple. To me, bad would be something frustrating, bugged, or anticlimactic. I don't see the harm in keeping it the way it is. It's not likely to be the first quest a new player experiences, so as to give them the false impression that all quests are like this. But if the demand for change is really high, I guess we can turn it into a miniquest.

I'm fond of the suggestion to rework the Camelot series as Temple Knights quests.

I don't get why Camelot is such a big problem anyway - I don't see any reason why RuneScape can't have a King Arthur, although I'm definitely in favour of changing their backstory to remove the references to real life. Jagex wouldn't be able to get away with renaming Camelot and Excalibur without lots of people complaining anyway.

I'm more in favor with this, simply removing the references to Britain. I don't think Temple Knights should be (or could be elegantly) involved with the quest series. Instead, just link the Round Table Knights up into a Teragard questline. The legendary creators have been long gone from this world. When they return, they'll be surprised and angered of their creations' new sapience. Meanwhile, the world's most elite, summoned to be its guardians, have abandoned their purpose and intend to plunge the world into chaos. -- Bionicle or RS?

rocking out seemed to give me absolutely no clue what to do about the deaf guy, and the player's solution to that situation is completely nonsensical

That's the point. The quest's developer was apparently super proud when that puzzle made it onto Cracked's "The 6 Most Absurdly Difficult Video Game Puzzles" You never were our brightest star, Khazard. 'Vermin slaughtered like lambs'? What does that even mean?
