Voted for the shortcuts, seems like the only one that doesn't resemble RS3. Not too sure about the shilo village > nature altar shortcut though, as it shouldn't make RC a lot faster all of a sudden!

Seriously, why are some people so keen on messing up an incredibly hard skill like mining by adding some afk content?

Whatever you do Jagex, please don't mess up like the NMZ still is.

Some things I think need to be changed if these go through -

Current max exp should not be increased ever

Motherlode mine - exp must be significantly less than existing methods if it is more afkable which it sounds like it is. If it similar afk wise to living rock caverns its exp needs to max at around 25k/hr.

Explosive mining - The explosives you put a crafting requirement to make when it should be herblore imo.

The quarry - You say you want it to be like living rock caverns, if that includes the afking the exp needs to be far less than non afk methods already in the game. Maxed Sept 24th, 2015 - 134th to max

1) Hybrid Enhancement: can be used with two different types of combat potions (i.e. Super Attack and Super Strength) to combine their effects into a hybrid potion of equal dosage.
2) Timer Enhancement: can be used with any timed potion (i.e. Super Antipoison, Antifire). Increases the duration of effect of these potions by 50%.
3) Restoration Enhancement: can be used with any restore-type potion (i.e. Prayer Potion, Super Restore). Increases the magnitude of the potion's effects by 25%.

Each enhancement is untradable, can be banked, and can only be used on the four-dose potion(s) in the player's inventory. Using the enhancement requires the level to make the original potion(s) and gives half the experience of making the original potion (i.e. an Enhanced Prayer potion would require 38 Herblore and give (82.5/2) xp). Once it has been used it disappears, and the resulting potion will be untradable.

This event could take place in a large, grassy area (such as the space east of edgeville, north of varrock west bank), happening every four hours or so, on the hour (similar to warbands).

Thanks for your consideration of our content and feel free to respond with any questions,

I like the idea in dev blog more, and better potions is a hot topic so did you think maybe someone else submitted a potion enhancement idea and its not yours? Maxed Sept 24th, 2015 - 134th to max

What are your reasons for that?

I don't see a problem with introducing new methods of training, as long as they don't make other methods useless. For example: Make the motherlode mine give higher mining experience once you start mining ores fast enough (at 90+ for example) than powermining granite. Powermining is still the fastest method for 60-90, but motherlode would be better at higher levels.

Because a lot of people want to be able to skill without their achievements being devalued. That's one of the major flaws with rs3 skilling, skills are constantly getting easier and skills are being devalued. That was one of the main reasons people chose osrs for skilling over rs3.

I should be able to quit and come back 2 years from now and my achievements should be just as hard to get as they are now so my time wasn't wasted.

If people want to add new training methods that's fine with me, make them more afkable and slower exp or add ways that are more profitable etc but devaluing achievements with faster exp isn't something most of the skilling community want. Maxed Sept 24th, 2015 - 134th to max

If you're playing to quit, just quit.
