I think torstol should be used to make Super Prayer potions instead. It would restore 33% + 8 per dose.

Primary Ingredient: Torstol
Secondary Ingredient: Wyvern bonemeal

Not only would this make Torstol valuable, but it will also revive Wyvern slaying.

Would you please, please, please remove the 'you haven't voted yet' message from the dev blog? It'll encourage voting by people who don't care about the poll and will most certainly set a precedent of log-in spam to come along with other updates.

just change the zammy spear spec..... the d spear and the zammy spear do the same thing...

why bring a high price weapon into the wildy.... if u can bring a d spear if u want.....

i would make a z hastas spec would be...the player stabs the spear into the ground... and in a 2 by 2 block area, they get 20% damage boost (making randoms temporarily shut down) if you leave that area, ur spear would be there like as if u dropped it.

The Roof Top agility coarses seems to be a little unbalanced, in my view. The exp is relevant to the level IF IT WAS A NORMAL COARSE. It is spaced by every 10 levels, and the "real agility" coarses are spaced by a lot less. This makes for rooftop agility to be QUICKER at a lot of levels. If not roughly the same at some. Because the point of training RT agility is for the marks of grace, provided that it should not replace other agility training for exp, shouldn't the exp rates be a little bit less than that of regular coarses, so that one could train at the RT agility specifically FOR the marks of grace, unlike replacing them for exp.

A system similar to the Motherload Mine would be good in my view, as that was greatly balanced. You train with a little less exp rate, for new gear, and good money. I think that Roof Top agility could be this and would become EXCELLENTLY balanced if it had a little less exp rate than the natural for "normal" coarses, by level. This would make for more propose to train at RTA AND the regular coarses than making Marks of Grace more readily available, as you wouldn't have the RTA inappropriately filling the gap of spaced out courses to train by level (thus stacking new, replacing elements into the game and not filling the gap of balance [different from the gap from when to train], as it is spaced by a consistent amount: 10 levels).

Even making RTA harder would help but I think that the above solution is THE BEST, compared to others I have looked at.

Question: Should we add Marks of Grace to all other agility courses?
No, that would make courses like Falador nearly obsolete.
Question: Should we add a furnace and anvil to the Wilderness Resource Area?
Sure, it would increase the amount of players who used the Wilderness Resource Area and thus bring increased activity to the wild.
Question: Should the rewards from barbarian assault gambles be improved?
Yes. Some of the obtainable items offer no real incentive to acquire them other than prestige.
Question: Should we add a super rare Penance Queen pet as a reward from high level gambles?
Sure! As long as they follow the same dynamic as the other newly added pets, I can see no reason why this would be problematic.
Question: Should we add a grind-x option for bird's nests?
Nah, this is another dumbing-down update for OSRS. If this is being addressed it would lead us to think why not grind-x option for chocolate bars? This would lower the strain necessary to make energy potions and likely decrease their value.
Question: Should we add +15 ranged defence to Bandos boots? (Offered in Poll 18 with +20 and received 74.8% support.)
Yes! This adds function to an otherwise nearly functionless item!
Question: Should we have a dedicated arena for no movement duels to prevent griefing in duels?
No, waste of developer time, in my opinion. However, I must state that I do not frequent the duel arena.

Question: Should the Iban staff be able to autocast Iban Blast?
Yes! I have heard complaints that the staff is still not worth it on account of not being able to autocast its own spell. For this reason, I actually dropped my staff.
Question: Should we add pet insurance? Show an NPC your pet and if you lose it you can pay a substantial fee to re-obtain it.
Yes! This is a great idea as it was presented in the Q&A livestream.
Question: Should we add a POH menagerie - a room in your POH that can store your pets?
Sure. Gotta save that bank space, right?
Question: Should you be able to use minigame teleports without joining the minigame chat?
Yes! Yes! One million times YES!!
Question: Should a tooltip showing your friends previous display names be added?
If it's slight and non-imposing. Otherwise, no.
Question: Should Ankous found in the wilderness drop higher quantities of dark fishing bait?
Yes.
Question: Should we add a graceful outfit set bonus that makes your energy recharge 30% faster when wearing the complete set?
YES! Otherwise the gloves, boots, and cape (which otherwise look great with the set), are obsolete.
Question: Should your special attack bar be visible when wielding a weapon that doesn't have one?
Yes, this seems fair to those PKers using a slayer staff, rune scim, or darts to PK with but another item to special with.
Question: Should we add a right-click quick-exit option to the exits within Pyramid Plunder
I do not know how hard it is to get out of Pyramid Plunder, so I do not care if this is polled or not.

A couple that I'd like to address:

Question: Should the Iban staff be able to autocast Iban Blast?

Making it 2500 casts is enough. I sincerely hope this doesn't pass, as it would be the definition of OP.

Question: Should Ankous found in the wilderness drop higher quantities of dark fishing bait?

I say yes. There needs to be more dark crabs if they're ever going to be a viable choice of food.

Question: Should we add a graceful outfit set bonus that makes your energy recharge 30% faster when wearing the complete set?

No. I don't think anyone has an issue with the graceful outfit as it is. It is already the lightest gear in all but three slots. If someone wants to recharge energy faster, that's what the agility skill is for. No need to further deprecate the value of that skill. It's hard for a reason.
