Fighter legs should have +1 str and defence of addy legs, except slash which would be slightly higher than rune. Just like the torso.
I'd like to also suggest to give rock shell armour a tiny prayer or str bonus, maybe +2 for the plate +1 for legs, as it's reallly hard to sell it and no one wants it while it's a rare drop from a hard boss, this will make it a good drop. Maybe give it prayer instead of str but a buff on rock shell would be appreciated.

Other questions on previous page.

Should we remove the cooking requirement for Trouble Brewing?
Yes please.

Should the alchemy value of Armadyl armour be increased so that it is protected on death over crystal equipment and Barrows equipment?
No opinion. Please add an option to not vote for questions in the polls.

Should the Dark Mage in the Abyss be contactable via the Contact NPC spell on the Lunar spellbook?
No, going to the abyss adds some risk and fun to runecrafting.

Should Nieve, the new Slayer Master, be contactable via the Contact NPC spell on the Lunar spellbook?
Yes, as all other masters are on there.

Should Fishing shops and Herblore shops sell packs of 100 vials, feathers or fishing bait to make it easier to buy these items in large quantities?
Vials and feathers? No. Bait? Yes.
Otherwise this would devalue nightmare zone and chicken killing.

Should the game applet show your current health, prayer points and run energy on icons near the minimap? A toggle option would allow players to hide these icons if they did not wish to see them.
Yes, but ONLY if it is always turned off in pvp.

Should the Smithing menu offer a Make-X option?
No, this would just make smithing easier and more afkable.

Should the Digsite expert be able to identify all your Unidentified Liquid vials at once?
No opinion.

Should the Zamorakian spear become a single-handed weapon?
I'd have to do some research to form an opinion.

Should a fruit tree patch be added in Lletya along with a gardener and tool leprechaun?
No? Wouldn't this just make farming easier? And it would make the elves slayer task harder, as people will be camping the best worlds for crystals.

Should a supply of spades be added near the Barrows?
Noty.

If Rigour\Augury are added I think it should be very hard to get. Like 300 castle wars tickets at least.

And I feel that the 10% of your kills = tickets in castle wars greatly devalues the worth of the tickets and castle wars armor. I think you should make Castle Wars more appealing to play, but I don't think giving tickets out easier is the answer.

Original message details are unavailable.
Question: Should we introduce a minigame reward shop where you can use points and tokens from multiple minigames to purchase new items?


i like the sound of this idea but tbh i do feel these questions shouldn't be polled and think of other ideas

Questions i don't think is good for OS:

Original message details are unavailable.

Question: If you vote for the minigame reward shop to be included, do you want it to sell the bonecrusher which works in the same way as the dungeoneering reward in RS3?

Question: If you vote for the minigame reward shop to be included, do you want it to sell a rune pouch which will store multiple runes in but only take up one inventory space?

Question: If you vote for the minigame reward shop to be included, do you want it to sell all three levels of clue scrolls?


I'm ok with the prayers but do make them difficult to get that actually makes people play a different range of mini-games :)

I feel Trouble Brewing needs more adjusting. Even with the matchmaker system, there still won't be enough people to play it, I fear. And it is just too awesome a minigame to be dead :( .

I'd like to see one of these options:
- a bit more xp from playing the minigame (craft, cook, firemaking: you get at most a few k in total for 20 minutes of playing at the moment)
- make the rewards cheaper (less POE to buy the clothes, though it shouldn't be as cheap as they are in RS3 - right now, it's impossible to get enough people to play the needed amount of games for the clothes, let alone the flags)
- add more rewards, though I'd have to think about what they would be (I'm sure there have been suggestion threads already though)

As fanatic smither, I think changing the requirement for the blast furnance from 60 smithing too 30 smithing is a bit too much! You could simply do A Knights Sword plus a little smithing and you would have access to the blast furnance within 1-2 hours.
I will be okay with a level requirement of around 50. So you actully need a little effort for using it.

I like the idea of a bank at the blast furnance though, but in my opinion access to the bank should have a smithing requirement of around 60. The blast furnance will become more like a smithing guild.

I think you need to 'grind' and put some effort in smithing before it becomes a little more easier and cheaper. Otherwise smithing would be devalued drastically in my eyes

Otherwise great dev blog!

Also, if you add more powerful versions of items if they're dropped on death I can see that being abused big time. People have the entire RS map to find spots to just kill each other over and over again with the same whip (or any other item) until they get the powerful version. Plus we REALLY don't need more overpowered items in the game. I think you've got the right idea, that we need to make incentives for people to use the world, but I can't support things which would do nothing but introduce more OP gear and are easily abusable.

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.

Awesome, thanks.

One thing though...

"Should a fruit tree patch be added in Lletya along with a gardener and tool leprechaun?"

No support from me.

But I would support the addition of another cactus patch.
