Ash, any idea how much the rewards from nightmare zone will cost? I remember someone on the forums saying he gets 170k poins in an hour, but I am able to get over 1m points an hour on rumble mode soloing using dharoks and absorb potions (I have done all the quests needed to kill every boss)

Also I think it should cost a lot of points to unlock the ability buy imbued rings

It sure gets fiddly trying to work out prices when you're already consuming your reward points by using absorb potions!

No, we don't have price info yet. A lot of the time we prefer to see how you guys respond in these threads before making any such decisions.


but what do you think of the idea of it costing a lot of points to unlock the rings first before you can buy them, for example:

with 2m points you could unlock the ability to imbue diamond rings, 200k points to imbue
with 10m points you could unlock the ability to imbue onyx rings, 1 million points to imbue (buying the ability to imbue onyx rings first would unlock all rings, if you unlock some other ring, such as the diamond ring first the cost would be lowered to 8m)

I hope you understand what I mean
im perfectly happy with this deal.

My feedback on every update mentioned in the Dev Blog

Support the crossbow, wouldn’t change a thing about it.

Magic weapon – SUPPORT the 15% damage boost, WAND not a staff, support everything else about it

Magic weapon continued – The special can decrease your melee damage output by 50%. Support

Summary: we need a crossbow and a staff, the staff should not be a staff in my opinion – it should be the wand with 15% damage boost and a special that halves your melee damage output and melee damage received by 50%, stackable with prayers etc.

The crossbow spec is a great idea! It should be 1 tier higher than rune cbow accuracy wise.

Moving onto nightmare zone rewards:

Everything I support except for the dragonstone and diamond rings, they seem a bit overpowered to me.

I LOVE the idea of new potions; I got 99 herblore because I thought that this would happen. However, I think two things should happen. Firstly we should use these as a test batch of potions, and add more after these if these are a success.

The only concern I have for the potions is no1 will use the prayer potions at gwd, they will want to use restores. Instead of making a super prayer potion, could we have it be a super restore potion? Or both?

The crystal bow upgrade should be something that can be showed to the elves that sell you the equipment and you don’t need a kit for every bow/shield. This could mean a upcharge for each bow, it doesn’t matter. I just don’t like the idea of using each kit per bow.

Trimmed quest cape cool – not really worried about it so support

The scrolls of redirection sound good, I think they would be good as a tradable option too. Money making method from nightmare zone would be cool.

LOVE the black mask update, even though I don’t slay. SUPPORT

LOVE the cow mask, LOVE IT

Under the “more resources” part of nightmare zone’s rewards, I agree and will vote yes to all 7 bulleted points. Great ideas!

God wars + super antifires = Gf dfs

Are you intentionally trying to ruin the 'old school' feel of the game or what?


LOL? Are you dense? DFS will still be the best sheild in the game superantifires will not crash the price of DFS people don't just use it at dragons anyway.

Lol???!?!?!?!?

I understand what you mean (probably) and will have a chat about it with the rest of the team after the weekend. Mind you, we might well stick to a plain price list for the sake of simplicity. Your idea, while interesting, is... complicated!

I say no super-potions. Such as super anti-fire, etc. Don't even poll it. We still need to keep some challenge to Old School. I am very thankful for the polls and that you guys give us the right to vote, but keep the game somewhat challenging still. Don't turn it into a watered down rs3 with these overpowered potions.

I'm very excited for this poll and will be voting yes on almost everything. It's nice to see oldschool runescape further heading into a direction of being its own unique game better than rs2 or rs3. Keep up the good work guys.
