What do you mean by "auto cast spells" for the Amulet of the Damned?

Do you mean the standard strike, bolt, blast and wave spells or whatever spell you can auto cast with the particular staff your wielding?

So, if I was wielding Iban's Staff and was auto-casting Iban Blast with the amulet equipped, could I potentially hit two 25's in one cast? Because that seems stupidly OP to me...

What happens if I had the Master Wand equipped? Could I the hit two 30's with auto-cast Ice Barrage?

This question needs a lot more clarification.

I feel you guys are forgetting the FREE 2 Play is suppose to be a way for players to get the feel of the game before they move to members. If you give pvp in f2p too many perks what would be the reason to purchase pvp? Don't get me wrong those ideas aren't hugely massive, but I think the below should be the only items provided.


-Up to Mithril Boots . (gives them a taste, but not the boosted boots).

-Definitely no to teleblock, but I'm not too sure my feelings towards snare either. I want to say Yes because it's rarely used, but I feel 10 seconds is quite lengthy. However it does have a higher cost to use and is rarely if ever used in members.

-Splitbark idk.. I understand it's a fairly useless outfit, but it just shouts too much "members only". With the introduction of snare they shouldn't have higher magic attack offerings anyways.

-Yew short bow I would accept since there is access to Yews and the bow is never used once someone hits 50 ranged which is simple.



Any possible chance on improving longbows while we are on the discussion of bows :) I.e. +5 ranged attack or much higher accuracy?

The barrow effects I'm not worried about either they are items which should be very powerful due to their risk and effort to obtain.


My other complaint is you guy are putting way too many dev blogs, updates, and more into this game. I feel instead of coming out with "new" updates to take up your time you should work on finishing the existing updates. I know this sounds crazy, but too much content is not a great thing. We just wanted to see an update every now and then so the game didn't become stale. There are essentially new updates every few days or few weeks and new dev blogs every other week or less now.

You cannot auto cast the Iban spell or Ice Barrage with the Ahrims Staff?

Remember you need to be wearing the FULL set and be auto casting for the amulet ability to work.

Fire wave i think is the highest spell you can currently auto cast with FULL Ahrims.

Please make the 'autocast only' part of the Ahrim effect a LOT clearer, you can't assume people will actually read it thoroughly. Something like 'this would only work on spells the staff autocasts [strike>wave spells]'
Also if you make rune boots f2p it really only makes sense to make bronze>adamant available too (even if probably no one would use them)

These are pretty disgusting updates, lol. Who ever thought of adding these items to F2P - wow, lmfao..

Snares , out of all the new additions, are by far the worse. Tanking is hard enough as it is with Binds that last 3 seconds. Nobody will tank with Snares that go up to 10 seconds, especially if the Splitbark armour goes through. Some people picture clanning as a 10 v 10, but it's actually 60 v 60s. F2P clanning is fine as it is, and Snares would completly ruin it.

Yew shortbows is the other item I'm really against. Rangers, in clan fights, are already the ones that are racking the majority of kills. They certainly don't need a +18 in ranged attack bonus. They'd provide an insane amount of damage that is completly unnessary to F2P fights.

Finally Splitbark armour would make it so much more difficult to tank. Right now here's the bonus that Magers have in the Wilderness/Wild respectively.

Attack bonus
Magic: +5/+2

Defence bonus
Stab: +84/+82
Slash: +92/+90
Crush: +82/+81
Magic: +17/+14
Ranged: +84/+84

Attack bonus
Magic: +19

Defence bonus
Stab: +140
Slash: +136
Crush: +148
Magic: +39
Ranged: +84

That's a huge increase in both attack boni & defence boni (yeah it sounds really wierd, but the latin word is bonus, boni (singular/plural)). People will be able to hit so much more often with Fire Blasts and hit almost if not every binds at level 99 (which a good portion of clanners have). It's definively something we don't need.

Rune Boots aren't as bad as the three items mentionned above. I could care less about teleblock. Attack potions & defence potions wouldn't be really THAT bad, since they counter eachother, but yeah I'd prefer to leave F2P clanning untouched.

Pretty funny that Jagex decided to poll new items that would heavily affect F2P clanning only to try to raise the price of said item. Who actually plays F2P or PKs there at Edge except for warring clans? Vote no on Splitbark/Yew Shortbows and especially Snares.

Also I guess I'll be voting no on the making the stuff f2p, after reading some of this thread. I don't especially care, and it looks like the warring guys really don't want it. This is the kinda thing that player council idea would have been nice for, so their opinion could be asked before this got put to poll

Shades updates look great! The material pouch will be super helpful.
Will Ironmen account be able to access the game outside of the quest? it could provide good pray xp to those w/o 75 cons.

That aside you could also increase traffic in the Shades minigame by making an elite clue from Sherlock to involve burning a yew pyre or an upper level shade.

Argh no, freeplay changes would mess up clanning. Please keep old school clanning... old school :) .


I do not care about keeping the game "old school." This game should honestly be renamed Runescape-2. The majority of us want development. Opening a developed and interesting Free-To-Play will help advertise the game. No one will "try and buy" a game that is not fun.

Do you realize how these items will impact Runescape freeplay clanning? It will probably destroy it and every clan will move to Legacy.

Well a few things I wouldn't mind (teleblock) but snare would kill freeplay.
Here's looking at you, kid.
