I want to address the GWD instances proposed changes.

Instead of giving everyone an instance why not just separate the GWD between irons and normies? Like the corp cave. So when you enter the GWD, depending on your account type, you'll either only see irons or normies. None of that 'pay to get instance' stuff. I think that this way the GWD will retain it's old school feel and also eliminate unwanted and unfair competition between the two account types. Therefore normies can fight each other for worlds just as they can now, meaning nothing will change for them and if irons fight each other no one will get a drop. Super simple.

And as a money sink just implement the same system that Zulrah has. Give learners time to actually learn and not get bankrupt immediately. And after 30, 50 etc kills just put a standard fee for deaths, which can be 150k or even 200k and honestly I wouldn't mind.

Honestly, I don't know why this hasn't been proposed or is thought of as detrimental to the economy. We irons don't farm the GWD to make hard cash for our normie accounts, we just wanna be done with it mostly and MAYBE go for pet in the future.

Just my two cents. Or is that hurting the economy already?

General
Whilst PvM achievements have been discussed for a while and this builds on that idea, I feel that this devlog is another that loses a lot of potential from it's base idea, favouring discussing rewards over the actual content.

Tasks
First of all using a task system to provide a lot of challenges is a great idea but I dislike the scale this is done. For example adding a kill count task such as Kill 100 moles, feels very artificial especially when you consider there will be speed tasks, specific item tasks, restricted item tasks, etc. Am I going to kill 100 whilst doing the other tasks or is it a genuine challenge?

Rewards
XP lamps make sense for achievement diaries but I see this as a combat challenge set. It would be more fitting for these lamps to give only give combat XP.

Increase clue scroll rates makes sense but, once again, it would be more fitting to only happen for pvm drops. Let skilling drops have their own challenges later on.

Like a boss upgrade is pretty cool, although you might want to consider making it togglable/optional since sometimes people want to go through their tasks quickly.

I'm a concerned about the new offhand item , how does it stack up against existing items? RIP Forums

GWD teleport is a good idea, although I'm assuming players won't have killed GWD bosses in the easy tier. Players should have at least killed the bosses once before unlocking this.

GWD instances is a hot topic right now and I've made great use on them on leagues. Personally I do not think GWD should have instances in the main game however it is clearly an issue for ironmen. I would support adding an ironman only chamber.

Deaths coffer for instances is just bizarre! Is this just so players don't have to use an extra inventory space? Surely that's part of the compromise for instances!

Can you expand on the jad challenge ? Is is just instance access to 6 jads or do you work up to that? Is it accessible instantly after fight caves? RIP Forums
