Zalcano
Great changes. It was needed and feels a lot better now. Seeing much positive response about Zalcano changes.

Gauntlet:
Gauntlet is now easier. Entering the boss with full tier 1 set results in about the same as entering with full tier 2 before. It devalues the staff which has lower DPS but makes you more tanky (augury).

Before the patch it was a perfect balance between the 3 types of weapons. It was also a great balance between the priorities of gathering armour/weapon materials. Now tier 2 and tier 3 armours give minimal benefit but costs a lot of materials.

Suggestions:
- Keep the update of boss always starting with ranged.
- Nerf the defence bonues of tier 1 armour.
- Give magic dmg boost to tier 2 and 3 armours.

@mod acorn

I used a rune pickaxe. I just second checked the spawn at the mining guild and the ores respawn about double as fast. It seems the rocks at tharaearn mine are bugged.

I really hope this will be changed :)



The wiki page states that iron should respawn in 5.4 seconds, the rocks in trahaearn mine take around 7 seconds.


Yes I was mining (before the patch today) and the crystal iron rocks clearly respawns slower than the iron rocks in the extended mining guild. I thought it was intended but I think it should be same respawn time.

Best way to reduce RNG at the Gauntlet is to adjust boss damage by lowering the max hits and increasing the minimal hits.

So for example if a succesful hit can deal between 0-50 dmg change it to 15-35. Bandos boss and some other bosses has this mechanic.

Increasing damage of tornados could be a way to compensate for the head start given by boss always starting with ranged.

Just wanted to pop in and say I appreciate the changes that were made today! After the update there were definitely some balancing issues that needed attention; specifically regarding The Gauntlet and Zalcano. I do still think some tweaks need to be made specifically to crystal armor and the Blade of Saeldor, though I'm sure you all will be looking at those in the near future. Anyways, thanks for the update; I look forward to hopping back into The Gauntlet!

The Spirit Tree
in Priff
needs to be more obvious
, it blends in to the rest of the trees too much, it took me a while running around trying to find it even with the transportation icon on the mini map.
It should look different than other trees, after all is a special tree isn't it?

For such a high level city that's locked behind a GM Quest why no herb patch?
So much dead area and common shops there is few people there already at least on the surface. The mine is (DCOA) dead content on arrival. I was looking forward to seeing the city. It is beautiful but I expected more. I guess too much. I know this is OSRS and not RS3 so I didn't expect it to be just like Priff in RS3 but I think some new skilling content added would have been nice. Why have all the new Crystal tools just to Mine, Fish, and WC the same ole stuff in the rest of Gielinor
The Mini Games and Agility course are great!

Example:
~
New untradable high level mining ore that you can use on furnace for
smithing xp, no bar made. Xp rate just slightly higher then ( _?_ ) but not over powered. Just a new way of training mining/smithing quickly.
~
Really Really REALLY rare chance to get a Uncut Dragonstone or Onyx while mining
in the mine
~
New high level Herb that only grows in Priff.
~
More elves to fight!
~
New high level Fishies to fish. ><>

Maybe the Amlodd Clan knows how to create Magic armor that they can teach players to make :P (see what I did there)

I have to say that chair looks absolutely delightful! Here's to a great competition. :D I really also love the
fletching
animations. :) :P

Could a mod go into more detail of the Agility improvements? That was kind of vague. What are the agility course shortcuts at level 90?

Could you add a notification when Divine potions are about to run out? On a side note, could you also add a notification when your anti-venom is about to run out? Right now it only warns you when the antipoison effect is almost run out, after 15 minutes but not when the antivenom is almost run out.

I would also love to see the possibility to add crystal dust to the Bastion potions and battlemage potions.

Thanks for the great update!

So Jagex made an update where drop trading is only legal if both accounts are logged on the same world at the same time? the only way that works is if it was used to protect Venezuelans or botters. Ive reported you to the better business bureau in the US. Enjoy. You are BLATANTLY protecting botters and fucking over Ironmen.
