I'm a big quest person, and I've been waiting to get my hands on access the new location! It will be nice to finally tie things together; however when you start mentioning puzzles within the quest, I'm not really a fan. The latest quest with lining up the grid system was really cool, but if it's the box puzzles, such as MM, those just aren't fun to me, and it doesn't really feel like a quest so much as it does a mini game within a quest that has no true purpose. Please avoid those as there are other ways to make quest challenging, yet enjoyable.

As for the new armor, I'm really digging it! I think crystal equipment is super cool and I recall when I was lower level always envying those in crystal. I don't like the fact you can buy and sell it, or that you can pay to have the guy smith it. I think that armor and the skilling tools should be earned. The requirements aren't terribly high anyhow. I think it's a cool idea for sure. Look forward to it if it passes poll, and I hope you guys take the time to consider everyone's comments. There are many great ideas.

Edit: I also see some suggestions for a g.e. in this location, that would also be really nice! Bots at the g.e. make me want to quit sometimes

Suggestion: Rather than another big city that comes at the expense of everywhere else on the map (and yet another kind of "shard" to "charge" things), how about something different?

After the quest, both sides have fought to a bitter stalemate. The city is accessible, and the forest has gotten much more dangerous.

Prifdinnas has been isolated for most of Runescape's existence as the elven civil war has raged. This isolation and civil war have taken its toll on the splendidness of the city. Social unrest and desperation as resources ran out against a backdrop of crumbling crystalline opulence make it a beautiful and rewarding yet highly dangerous place to train most skills.

As with a real city that's fallen on hard times, situational awareness is everything, and danger can be reduced somewhat by recognizing a bad situation before it happens and preemptively getting out of harm's way.

I'm thinking high xp, moderate involvement, and risks to wealth required. Maybe some sort of indirect pvp mechanic to keep things fresh and interesting, like sabotages or the ability to "hire" NPC's to gang up on a target.

That way people who want peaceful bankstanding can stay in the GE, but people who are willing to take some risks and practice some street smarts can do so in a way that respects and builds on runescape lore.

This quest line is 16 years old... the next installment has big shoes to fill. It better not be lame and stupid!

Really excited for the quest. A new city with a POH, fairy ring and/or spirit tree would be really great to see. Plenty of reasons for people to do quest and go there if everything passes. The only thing I don't like is a mining/smithing/rc boss that provides you with the BIS hatchet/harpoon. The pickaxe makes sense, but I think fishing/wc should be incorporated somehow if those are going to be the rewards. I mean high smithing/rc helps you get a reward for fishing/wc? It doesn't really add up... I do enjoy both ideas, but I don't think they should be put together. Looking forward to the quest and hopefully GROUP IRON MAN MODE soon!!!!

Please do not make another Dragon Slayer II that is all but impossible for HCIM to complete without dying. It is bad enough that you have excluded us from the Quest Cape, Myths Guild and the Theatre of Blood. Please make a quest that HCIM can be reasonably assured to complete with the required stats.

Crystal equipment has an insane ranged defence considering is has no magic casting penalties and is meant for melee and ranged weapons. A helmet with 80 ranged def should have -8 attack casting looking at barrows items. Verac +56 range def -6 casting best example because it also gives a prayer boost like crystal would. Waiting for group ironman.

Yes for quest, yes for city, if its quest locked at least we wont have bots there,
The crystal seeds feel wired, ignoring the stats for another post, i imagine them working like the crystal saw that after its back in its seed form can be turned to anything the elfs want like bows or tools, maybe instead of increasing the power of crystal item, make them good for midgame and have the player do something to learn to change them? Idk.. like you can have a crystal axe on you, suddenly you realize you forget a tool you need, instead of running to the bank just sing the axe back to a seed and into the needed tool.
Personally i feel that having bigger numbers is boring, i imagine crystal items to work in different and fun ways then all the human items

Hi, could you also make the Crystal Armour require dragon equipment pieces in order to forge the armour? It would make a nice Upgrade. And it would look cooler if the Crystal Armour looked badasser than the dragon Armour (Make it look like dragon armour with crystal on it and more spikes). It would be nice to see a plate and chain variant of the Crystal Armour :) . That's all what I had to share for the moment. Thx for reading my suggestion. Thank you for OSRS, add a minnimap and a rest option. Then I will be fully happy with this game.
