The pickaxe is a very silly idea. 10k charges that means 10k runite ores can be mined with it, which actually means even more ore because of diaries and expert mining gloves.....It should be like 5 or 10 charge/ore or scale it to the level of the ore, or just make the item non-decaying and it's solved. I mean one crystal pickaxe would be enough for the rest of my entire OsRs career, why even make it decay? Makes 0 sense.


I feel your point but 1 extra tick on rune ore is pretty small. Not to mention its only 25% chance to hit that tick. So its really .25 ticks faster on like 10-20 ticks. Wont make a huge impacts. What your forgetting though, is all the iron that will get power mined with it. 10k charges can get blown through in 5 hours.

The tools have to degrade or it wont fit with the lore. Every crystal item you get from the elf quests degrades.

The sifficulty in the equipment is locked behind the quest itself. Its a pretty long series to get through, and most players cant be bothered. And if Jagex goes down thr same trend they have been with mm2 and ds2, its going to be a very epic and challanging quest. I think you’ll notice that the main people to get this equipment will have quest capes.

Awesome update team. Cant wait.

My first thought is that if crystal tools get added that increase the best xp rate, then I will probably quit osrs (assuming that osrs is just going to keep getting faster to make the same progress). The only way I can think that would accept crystal tools, is if they are as good as the current best tools, and you could then nerf the current tools.

Aside from the lunacy of quitting over a 25% chance to reduce 1 tick on an action of gathering skilling resources. The larger lunacy of totality is to nerf current gear, and make the new gear thats harder to get = the same gathering rate as the gear that is out now.

What is wrong with you people?

Whoa there, no need to use such extreme terms. Just explain the alternative to the impression I got from reading about the changes?

I read 5% increase over dragon axe. That may be small (is it really only 25% chance to reduce 1 tick, are you just thinking about pickaxes?), but my preference is for the best speed to stay the same. Perhaps the requirements balance out so that it is overall no faster anyway unless you do it for a very long time, or perhaps charging is more time-expensive anyway?

The reason for posting is that someone might clarify why actually it's not making xp/gathering rates faster, or some reason why the game would be better with crystal items.

It may sound nuclear that I said quit, but I didn't say quit because of one thing, and didn't say I would definitely quit, just my impression of the direction these changes indicate osrs is going one would mean I would prefer playing another game. But that was just a thought at the time, maybe I would keep playing anyway heheh :)

So clarifying from original post, if the requirements for getting the new equipment balanced out to be no faster than just using dragon, that would mean I probably don't mind if the rate increases.

was really hoping the minigame would be a new way to train RC, oh well.
Armor is interesting but seems like it is only good with crystal bow as halberd is one-handed/slow.

guess there will be more crystal weapons soon...

@Gregory00

So how exactly was anyone supposed to extrapolate what "you actually mean't" with statements as general as you made?

Regardless, the preposterous nature of your conclusion does nothing to validate the nonsense of items having higher requirements "of entry" so to speak, and then having those items do the same thing as their lower level counterparts.

The items will make skilling marginally faster, and resource gathering faster. The "balance" is the fact they have higher requirements in terms of levels and upkeep. No one sane is going to use them if they were just the same. And also why would you play this game if you feel this way? End-game level milestones are largely missing, the game will get easier and there will be more content coming out for higher levels that make things faster/easier, thats' the natural evolution of progress in a game, and that's the logical path the developers are taking.

Your preference or mine is irrelevant is that is what the majority of the voters are calling for. Quit not if you want a build of the game that never got updates back in 2007, and start your own private server locally hosted on your own machine. You're not going to get a game that doesn't move from 2007scape, you're just fooling yourself.

They were't supposed to have to extrapolate.

I didn't suggest the higher requirement items should do the same thing (at the same time). I suggested nerfing other equipment. (And please no-one say "that's a lunatic idea, what's wrong with you", just explain why you think it's better not to.)

Mirza123 said :

Because I started playing before thinking this.

All preferences are relevant because they add up to a potential majority.

I don't neccessarily prefer a game that doesn't move from 2007scape, though note that AFAIK the goal of osrs is to stay "oldschool". I'm not expecting it to stay at 2007scape.

IDK if it has been said already or not, I support the idea of crystal tools. BUT i do believe they should require a dragon hatchet/pickaxe to craft them like how it does on RS3 that way the dragon counterparts do not become irrelevant and worthless.
I wanted a clever signature but Jagex had no time for my shenanigans, because it was just a bunch of hax.

Hello!

Just wanted to say that it's a bit unfortunate that some content previously available to pure accounts (crystal bow imbued for example) will no longer be accessible after the release of this new quest. Since the only thing hindering this is the requirement of Fairy tale part 2, it would be very exciting if this requirement would be altered. This would also unlock so much new and fun content for players who have dedicated their efforts in 1 defence builds as their main account.

Thanks for reading!
