Everything seems more or less alright, but one huge sticking point:

Will the experience gained in Wintertodt be competitive? Even accounting for any profits made?

This could be potentially the best new content to date, but it has to be done *well*. A fun and engaging (no, clicking logs for hours on end is not engaging) method to train with rewards good enough to actually be worthwhile is sorely needed.

All of this is crap; if you try doing blast furnace with some friends as you suggested, someone appears from nowhere and overheats the furnace.
So the unique solution is to go to this clan chats where you pay 60k/hour, and there you wonder why they don't get crashed as fast as you and your friends...

Something is suspicious there...

My thoughts on these:

Tome of Fire - 50% max hit increase is too much, 20-25% tops.

"Should slayer masters let you know if you'll need a piece of equipment from their shop to complete the task they've just assigned?" - I'm pretty sure they already do that, at least in most cases, all you need to do is ask for info. If you meant they would shove that information on your face when you accept the task, I'm going to vote no on this one.

"Should it be possible to charge the ring of suffering using rings of recoil? The ring of suffering would have a limit of 100,000 recoil charges (2,500 rings of recoil) and would provide the same recoil effect while charged. The ring of suffering would not degrade into dust once it runs out of charges, it would just be uncharged." - Maybe make it only for the imbued ring, and/or reduce the max amount of charges to, say, 10,000 (250 rings or recoil). Voting no for now.

"Should it be possible to get multiple salve shards?" - Already possible, so no problem with making it easier.

Excellent way of making it dead on release. The intent behind the tomb is obviously to make Fwave a more viable choice. 50% is a must.

Original message details are unavailable.
The fire tome that boosts damage is also too op, even with the limited casts you will be able to do. SOTD pures would just be that much more powerful..

......

It only works with basic fire spells, it has no effect on Z flames.
OSRS Mage Tank.


Believe magic to only be for support? Think again. It's just as valid of a Pking style as melee and range is.

Yes that is a problem, ppl come and crash and overheat the furnace. But making blast furnace easier/faster through these 60k pay NPC worlds will make the activity more acessable and less profitable not to mention that blast furnace is the most botted place I have found in runescape paying 60k seems just way too acessable for these bots or maybe not? Having some skill total to use the npc worlds sounds like a good fix, not that I'm a blast furnace expert or anything :l Y0

It's really sad to see more and more EasyScape updates coming through... Take a look at the amount of teleports that have been introduced in the past 3 years, it's just insane.. Now the latest trend seems to be to add deposit boxes everywhere, just so we don't even need to teleport anymore., let alone walk..

Come on JaGex, let people put some effort in the game..

As well it used to be fun to re-discover places, for example the haunted mine, but now there is a teleport or shortcut for everything..


These are 100% EasyScape updates:
- Should an Agility shortcut between the Nature Grotto and the nearby fairy ring be added?
- Should a shortcut be added to the crystals found within the Haunted Mine? This shortcut would only be usable following completion of the Haunted Mine quest.
- Should a teleport to Falo the Bard be added as a perk for the music cape of achievement?
- Should a deposit box be added in the Shilo Village underground gem rock mine?
- Should it be possible to pay farmers to cut down fruit trees?

An automatically functioning blast furnace is so much more overpowered than any bonus XP outfit... It doesn't even compare with the Stealing Creation hammers from pre EOC..
