Content poll #34 will be opening on June 18th and it is going to be a big one. Experience drops, the summer slayer expansion, duel arena tweaks, customisable F-keys and lots, lots more. Let's take a look at what will be offered.

Removed question asking if kill credit for the Kalphite Queen should consider both forms rather than just the second. We will be making this change without a poll .

Removed the question asking if Sherlock should be added to the Lunar spell NPC contact as we do not want to devalue the Kandarin elite diary reward.

Increased the buff offered for Karil's coif to +7 ranged attack rather than +5.

The item intended to store coins past 2147m has been changed. It will now be tradeable and each item will be worth 1,000gp. They will be stackable but we will not be treating the item like a currency - you will still only be able to use coins to purchase items from stores or the Grand Exchange.

Change log

Back in 2010 we released the in-game experience tracker. This added a small icon next to the minimap that could be opened up to show the amount of experience you've gained since you last reset the counter. When open, the counter would also cause "experience drops" to appear, showing any experience you gain "dropping" from the counter as you gain it.

Additional features, such as being able to track experience gained in specific skills, were added to the experience tracker in the future. Such features may be possible somewhere down the line for Old School if the experience tracker passes.

For now we are offering the experience tracker in the most basic form. A small, toggleable, icon next to the minimap that can be clicked to open a small box displaying the experience you've gained since you last reset the timer. The timer can be reset by right-clicking the icon and selecting the right-click option.


Question : Should the experience tracker and experience drops be added to Old School RuneScape? This would add a small icon by the minimap that can be clicked to show experience gained since the tracker was last reset. Every time you gain experience with the tracker open, a number will fall out of the bottom of the tracker showing you how much experience was gained. This will be toggleable.

Since the release of Old School bonds the community have regularly requested that we make it possible to use them to unlock display name changes. We would like to offer this in content poll #34.

If this were to pass, when redeeming bonds there would be an additional option to bypass any cooldown period for display name changes. Selecting this option would allow you to change your display name immediately, regardless of how long it has been since the last change.

Question : Should we allow Old School bonds to be redeemed for a display name change?

Mod Maz has been hard at work rewriting the duel arena to be a safer and more enjoyable place to be. We've got a couple of features that we would like to include that we feel should go through a poll before being added.

Warnings about lowered stats



Question : Should we add two icons to the challenge window at the duel arena that will warn you when your hit points or prayer points are not full?

Automatically restoring hit points and prayer points at the start of a duel

Alternatively, we could have your stats be fully restored at the start of a duel. This would prevent the, fairly commonly occurring, situation where you enter a stake with very low health by accident.

Question : Should stats be fully restored at the start of a duel? This would prevent players entering duels with lowered stats.

We would like to offer the ability to customise which F-key opens each side-panel. It is a common request for us to change the order of the F-keys to various different arrangements and the ability to customise your own layout would allow us to offer every Old School player the ideal order for them.

This feature would also allow us to open up the 'Esc' key for uses other than switching to your inventory tab. If this feature were introduced, the 'Esc' key could instead be used to close the interface that you currently have open.

Question : Should we add a feature that allows you to choose which F-key opens each side-panel? This would include the ability to have the 'Esc' key close the interface you currently have open.

Since the release of the Godwars dungeon, Kree'arra's magic attack has been calculating whether or not it hits based on your ranged defence . It has been requested that this is changed so that Kree'arra's magic attack calculate whether or not it hits based on your magic defence instead.

This change will likely have an impact on the difficulty of the boss.

Question : Should we add an impling jar to the contents of hunter kits created with the Lunar spell hunter kit?

Question : Should we add a tradeable, stackable item that can be purchased from and sold to an NPC for 1,000 coins?
