Increase max runecrafting xp or add a truly afk rc method for below lvl 77 rc or its a no vote from me on this and all future major expansions and all of their sub polls, as well as all skilling updates to skills that don't need them.

jagex needs to quit catering to nolifers and make the game more friendly to people with lives outside the internet.

I love the idea of expanding the Elven storyline. I just have to agree with most other comments. It feels like the city is not providing anything new to the game. Who cares about Teak and Mahogany trees? A sawmill?

My main concern is the armor. When I think of crystal, I think of the bow. I remember looking at the ranged guide 12 years ago or so and being completely blown away about it not needing any ammunition.

Change the armor, or add a Ranged variant:
- Needs a negative Magic attack bonus, as others have explained.
- Ranged attack bonuses equal to black d'hide, plus weak ranged strength bonuses as well. Make it per piece, not per set, so that players may match with different headgear or weapons, for example. Armadyl will remain the best in slot for accuracy.
- Having at least two armor pieces equipped along with a crystal bow will increase ranged distance by one or two squares. This would bring crystal bows back.
- The defensive bonuses are great for a Melee armor, but need to be toned down if it were to be a Ranged armor.
- Keep the prayer bonus.

Crystal equipment MUST be
long distance ranged focused
, or at least something worthy, otherwise count me out. This is what would make crystal armor stand out, as it well should. I feel like this all needs more creativity, to be honest.


As for the minigame, finally add something similar to Soul Wars. So many of us were massively loyal to it and we crave for a new one. You've said years ago that you don't want to bring it back because you can make something better. DO IT.

I like the idea of Priffdanis (unsure if that's how to spell it) and all the suggested content, to an extent.

1.) Is the mahogany and teak trees worth having there? I don't see any mains, which are most likely going to be the dominant accounts there, spending time chopping those trees, even if there's a sawmill somewhat close by.

2.) I'm not entirely in favor of a sawmill closer to a bank than what is already available at wood cutting guild. I say this because if it is really closer, as well as two of the highest tier wood for construction were more easy to aquire, then it may possibly reduce the price of planks in the G.E. and make it easier to level. I personally enjoy having a skill as valuable as construction more a challenge to get and having that feeling of success with a decent level of construction gives you. If it doesn't lower the G.E. prices of mahogany and teak planks, than I don't seem to think it's a bad option but not the most viable.

3.) Finally I'm in favor for crystal equipment but call me crazy, I'd rather see the dragon equipment not be recovered and only have the crystal seed recovered (or maybe neither?). I don't know if what I'm thinking would be the right way but I think that if those 3 dragon items were removed from the game than prices would increase. If there were less of the dragon items than they'd be more rare and valuable. That also means there would also be more people farming the monsters who drop these items, like Vennatis.

All of this is just my rough idea on the update. Most importantly, I hope it wouldn't be like RS3 and Priffdanis would turn in the new "G.E." area and/or "hang out area" where only the top tier players go

Or they could not do that and you could quit.

RS3 already does this. You have no respect for people that want ONE game that doesn't cater to the bad players. Long live the Wilderness. Long live risk vs reward in PVM. Long live 2006.

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.


This is why we hate Ironmen like you. Why should an update be modified to suit 1-5% of the players?

You either deal with the quests as they come or you don't do them, period. This catering has got to stop. Long live the Wilderness. Long live risk vs reward in PVM. Long live 2006.

Just a few questions/comments: - Why is there a training dummy? I thought these couldn't be used past very low level, and obviously no one of low level can possibly get here. - Can one of the vegetable patches on the northeast side be switched or another one be added to a wheat patch to provide access to puro-puro? I'm noticing a huge lack of these in several new areas including Zeah. - This isn't shown on the map but can we have a dock on the shore to the west that can act as a charter around Gilenor and access to all available ports in Zeah? - Is there any possibility of having a future raid location [i]inside[i] the city? This raid can tie in themes present throughout the entire elf quest line and contain architecture from West Ardougne, the underground pass, Isafdar, temple of light, and Song of the Elves. Bosses can be the main antagonists of each of the main quests in the chain such as tyras or ivan, and the entrance to the raid can be a crystal ball at the top of the center tower called the "Crystal of Memory". If not a raid this can be done as a solo instance or at the very least a museum piece such as the one under the party room with a short history of the development of each piece of the story, including who wrote the story and any behind-the-scenes notes about its development and inception. - Can we get a royal garden of some kind, topiary bushes, a library, and possibly a more centralized marketplace (it seems like its tucked in a weird spot) - Lastly the outer perimeter seems too empty. Can we get guard towers in the form of wooden posts like the one the mourners are on outside W. Ardougne (of course paying homage to the beginning the story, but with a lighter tone and color). In addition, a few more farm fields, parks, small shops, or at least benches and lampposts on the outside would help is seem less focused toward the center. Right now the design looks empty.

Just an idea...

Crystal Archer Equipment:

Attack bonuses equal to black d'hide.
Melee defense Bonuses between red and black d'hide.
Ranged and magic defensive bonuses slightly higher than Armadyl.
Prayer bonuses equal to Armadyl.
Best in slot equipment for ranged strength bonus.

When players have at least two crystal armor pieces equipped plus the Crystal Bow, their ranged distance increases by one square with rapid and accurate, or two squares with long range.

As the set degrades, its ranged strength bonus degrades as well, unless imbued.
