Making more versions isn't going to help with the finite hotspot capacity. I appreciate you really want it nevertheless.
I know, but isn't the cap for a hotspot like 7/8 options? Spending 2 of those to let people have visually consistent gardens seems fair to me, not everyone only care about "efficient" houses, some of us want them to look nice too.

I guess I'll need to rally Reddit behind me or something, for my house to not look like trash since the update :(

Someone on Reddit claims to have gotten a Firemkaing pet from the boss. Can you please confirm or deny the existence of it and is it only available from the boss?


If you look at your pet list in house, it does indeed list a phoenix pet.

It's certainly higher than 3, yes. And with a considerable amount of dev time and re-testing of the vertical links code, the feature you request is possible. That would, of course, be dev time take away from other requests, and it'd be a reduction to the other things players might want in that hotspot in future that aren't already available in POH. So if you're encouraging players to demand this feature, do make sure they understand the costs.

Nevertheless, I'm sorry you feel your house looks like trash because there are different kinds of garden in it.

Criticism!

-Fletching part has no purpose in minigame, easier to just chop the logs and burn them for points

-The herblore part (making the potion) is not very thought through, since the pyromancer falls on his butt only once per game and the "Take 10" potions is pointless as the herblore xp is 5xp per potion and the practical use is near non-existant.
Perhaps make it so players can drink the potions themselves? no?

-"The cold of the Wintertodt seeps into your bones" -10 dmg appears sometimes too often and stacks up 80 dmg within 2 minutes sometimes, meaning if there are 10 people playing the minigame and user has lets say atleast 10 inventory slots filled with sharks, its extremely hard to get 500 points in time to get the reward crate as most of the time goes to eating and playing inefficiently, perhaps putting damage counter on timer or add cold-resistance when wearing... clothes? (fur slayer equipment etc) or reduce point counter from harsh 500 to maybe 400?

Adding these would take the mid spot from 3 to 5 options, leaving room for plenty "new" in the future.

How much dev time would estimate it would take? The other gardens already got the function. Also, I would never encourage making "demands" but rather see if people would like the feature or not. But generally people dislike inconsistency.

And yeah, no offense, but I used to have 3 formal gardens lined up very nicely, now I'll have a superior randomly among them, can't pass up on those advantages.

Xp rates are too high. I'm averaging 285k xp/h with 97 fm and I'm pretty sure the rates will go up with less people participating. Considering this is less click intensive than burning logs and makes quite a lot of money the xp rates should be less than with maple logs as those used to be the the best way to train fm without losing money.

EDIT: Getting 310k xp/h now by using brews and hopping to cut logs while the boss spawns.
