Just a few thoughts on the Blast furnace Mini Game.


A bit more on those tokens. ;)

If there comes a time that we do get an old school graphics artist perhaps they could also be exchanged for cosmetic clothes or perhaps a wieldable hammer and tongs.

The hammer would go in the sword slot and the tongs in the shield slot, these would be about as useful in battle as a bronze dagger and kiteshield but they would let a smith pound out 1 more bar per inventory.

Rather than tokens taking up a slot in our inventory, Ordan or Jorzak would keep track of how many tokens we have earned and would cash them in a new dialogue, If Ordan gets the un note ores dialogue then perhaps Jorzak is the right NPC for tokens.

The Blast Furnace was fairly popular back in the day but was not used much for team effort until after the un note feature was added to Ordan, and without it it will not be much used in OSRS except for a few solo smithers and of course those bots I mentioned earlier.

That un note dialogue is the most useful thing you could do to get teams up at Keldagrim on the themed world, adding a bank and reducing the requirements would be the most usefull thing you could do for the goldfarming bots and would damage the smithing skill greatly.
Ha ha, made you look ;)

I have not played many mini games in the past - I sooo want to complete Shades of Morton quest though, get those qp's up.

I would like a fruit tree patch in Lletya also :)

Plus - been loving getting my agility up, and have three peices of the outfit.... but I too have been wondering what on earth will I do with skid marks of Grace after I get my complete outfit?? can we maybe buy agility exp?

Plus, yes - bigger screen optons for those who want it/need it

I can't wait for this exciting pole to be released and see the direction of our game, however ALOT OF US want Stealing Creation . The minigame that united skillers, pures/pkers, and mains incorporating noncombat related skills with combat related skills

I agree with all suggestions of this Devblog. :)

I would like the Matchmaking to be better but it's not probably possible at the moment.


Forgot to add.

I only disagree with free runes for CW. This would turn it into Barrage Wars.
There should be refund of around 75% of used runes. This would be similar to ranging with attractor/accumulator.

Everyone seems to be focusing on the minigames here

Addressing the "Make X" and 100 packs of vials/bait - PLEASE DO THIS. This would help immensely. I hate having to time out my tenth iron bar each time and this would be a tremendous frustration saver

With regards to splitbark - PLEASE LOWER THE DEFENSE. This is an outstanding idea

And the teleportation to all sounds outstanding; my biggest deciding factor to playing in minigames was heading out to do them, potentially wasting time for a game that may or may not start.

The rewards sound great

The changes sound awesome as well

For all complaining about the free runes and all - why not make basic runes free at a reduced exp rate (Chaos/mind based) to avoid the ancient magicks?

Should add incentives to most mini-games seeing as most of them are dead. Fishing trawler should have Sea Turtles and Manta Rays buffed to heal 21/22 hp and require 85/85 fishing and cooking and 90/90 for Manta Ray. Add Rock Crab and/or Rock lobster pets to Fishing Trawler as a rare reward when obtaining junk. Experience also needs to be buffed slightly. Also, I believe leeching isn't fixed in this version of Runescape for Fishing trawler, yet that wasn't brought up. Someone could sit through the entire game and not have to do anything and obtain all the rewards.

Add a degrading weight reducing amulet to Agility arena.

Add Proselyte equivalents to range/mage by using Guthix/Saradomin/Zamorak d'hide/vestments that degrades to Castle Wars. Vestments would need to be buffed to Mystic equivalent attack bonus, but D'hide will probably have to have it's ranged attack nerfed between Blue-Red.

Add elite Void armor to Pest Control that gives prayer bonus.

Add buffed Holy wrench to Trouble brewing rewards.

Add upgraded rapier to Trouble brewing rewards equal a Dragon scimitar switched for stab.

Add elixir that adds magic/ranged bonus to salve amulet (e) at Shades of Mort'ton.

Minigame Overhaul Thread .

Add infinite watering can to the shop that requires points from different games.

Should poll more rewards.

No more mini-games should be added until all of them are balanced.

Can we poll a reward from Castle Wars to upgrade your Excaliber for X amount of tokens to an Enhanced Excaliber and give it the healing special effect? Because right now I see no reason to waste time with Castle Wars, because it does not have any worthy rewards like Barb Assault and Pest Control have.
