I would rather you add new RC content offering a best EXP rate, but would require your attention like abyssal crafting. Ideally 60-75K/hour. Profit does not need to be offered so long as the rate is justified. Either do it 2 times faster, or 2 times slower while earning profit, or Blood/Soul semi-afk.


You mean this thing that exists called lava runecrafting?

Close, but I want something slightly better or a new experience. Lava's are pretty click intense to achieve 65K+

you said in runfest how the maul and wand will change people playing, pking yet it has not passed the poll it is at 73% and 72% so by right this context should not be coming in the game unless re polled. it requires 75% to pass which it did not so why you putting it in game or saying u will it did not pass?

how is the magic heart in game when it did not pass the poll?????????????/


the amors wont pass either when you repoll them. few people dont want raids full stop!!!!

The Raid Rewards are a JOKE. Almost all of them are completely dead content in the waiting.

-Elder Weapons are absolute rubbish
-Dragon Sword is a niche weapon, and has absolutely no real use in PvP/PvM
-Raid armors keep failing because they stick by their disgusting 75% polling system that NO ONE ASKED FOR! It is TOO HIGH, and has cost us a lot of brilliant content.
-Dragon Throwing Axe wont make a game changer
-Raids need MORE rewards overall

The only good reward ATM in my opinion are the prayers, but is this ENOUGH?!

Jagex is being completely mental in the biggest update of 2007, hands down. They are not giving it the treatment it deserves. This update will be a joke. A big, ambitious, fun, somehow went wrong...joke.

If anyone at the staff is reading this. Hi, and seriously give your ass a reality check. We need this update, and you are ruining it to please a vocal minority.

Oh wait. Vocal minority. I remember the last time I heard that word used. Evolution of Combat! You defended yourself and called us all a vocal minority, and ruined the game permanently. Not too late. Don't wait for it to be. You've ruined:

Polling system
Major pvm updates
major pvp updates
several PDC polls barely passed
100s of quality of life updates lost by a percent or 2, and even re-polled to same fate
destroying raiding (your biggest update yet)
almost did not pass god wars, it took EVERY YOUTUBER TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

The maul and wand have passed there poll at 76.6% and 76.7% you are looking at the website results which have not had the skip question % taken out.

Look at the history from a poll booth it gives the true results.

Could you, or anyone else who hasn't had a tall glass of bleach for breakfast, explain how offering reasonably fair rates is a bad thing? I am maxing all skills on Runescape...blablabla RC is fine as it is. Thousands of ppl have already gotten 99 with just abyss, so why can't you?
I could brag about my achievements down here, I just choose not to

Then there's going to be a group of people out there, myself included, who won't support adding it. I've always believed the most click intensive method for the skill should be the fastest method. If the XP rates described are stuck to, which they won't completely be as RS players are usually more efficient, then ZMI is fine as it is.

They'll still be double astrals/natures for people who want to make tons of money but don't mind the slow XP. They'll be lava runecrafting for people who don't care about making a loss but want max XP/hr. ZMI will fit nicely in the middle where it's faster than double astrals/natures but not as much money as them. Anything else and the balance of RC will go sideways if it hadn't already with Zeah runecrafting. If ZMI ends up the same xp/hr as lavas while making profit and less click intensive, who will ever do lavas?

I agree with this to a certain extent, I see where Jagex is coming from in wanting to add Ourania Altar.

New players, new members, past members and more players are branching into the world of Gielinor wanting to expand their knowledge and try something new. Yes we may have gotten bloods and souls this year, but RuneCrafting is really basic. Yes it's one of the hardest skills to obtain 99 in, if not the hardest. It's meant to be competing, but why have a skill that people will do for a little then stop.

Jagex is not asking to add RuneSpan; it's a simple ZMI altar, if you read in-depth the XP rates will be fixed. No need to worry about it ruining RuneCrafting from previous high levelers'.

This will open a lot more players to enjoy RuneCrafting, walk around the game ask players what they like and dislike about the game or certain skills. 60-75% Of players I asked about RuneCrafting say it's "Boring"; "Takes no skill", "I'd rather do a challenging skill".

Why not instead of adding the same old Ourania Altar, we ask the community what they would like to see in it?

Examples:
- Kill an NPC within the dungeon grants Pure Essessence noted or unnoted
| Optional path to higher monsters, but more damage faster path. (More Pure Ess)

- Add other skills into it; when you go to a Gilded Altar you can light it with herbs, maybe you can collect hard-to-get items from NPCs to increase xp rates by 0.1-0.2% etc. Forcing a larger number of players to work together and form to get these items to get that little bonus.

Don't hate the idea but its absolutely all about the delivery. Despite Zeah RC for me being an enjoyable method Blood and soul runes are a prime example giving us a low effort high xp way to RC rather then low effort low xp or high effort high xp. It was a mistake but i only mention it to suggest that regardless of how enjoyable this new content may be if it completely devalues the skill it's not worth it.
