"While our initial proposal aimed to open up more of the game and give a wider appreciation (and hopefully encourage wider participation) towards restricted builds, members of the 10 HP community and wider community alike pointed out that our proposal would effectively reduce the unique progression of these accounts to whacking Sand Crabs and eating a little more often.

I do agree that having 10hp accounts be able to just smack low level mobs for XP would take away from the "prestige" of these accounts. However, you can currently get high rates of combat xp in any combat stat and it scales with levels. You can get 360+ zeals/hr from soul wars without having to get any XP. in a relatively chill way.

Hourly Rates:
Lvl 30-34 10800xp
Lvl 35-42 21600xp
Lvl 43-48 32400xp
Lvl 49-54 43200xp
Lvl 55-59 54000xp
Lvl 60-64 64800xp
Lvl 65-69 75600xp
Lvl 70-73 86400xp
Lvl 74-77 97200xp
Lvl 78-81 108000xp
Lvl 82-84 118800xp
Lvl 85-88 129600xp
Lvl 89-91 140400xp
Lvl 92-94 151200xp
Lvl 95-97 162000xp
Lvl 98-99 172800xp

If the game were still in the state of pre-zeah gangs and pre-soul wars. Then I can understand this. However we already got content into the game that has broken the XP barrier wide open.

To unlock normal combat to these accounts will simply turn it from an Active to a slower AFK training method. However you will unlock a lot of cool new unique endgame content.

In addition to this, we've seen concerns that massively improving the ease of creating such accounts could have knock-on effects in PvP scenarios, especially at lower combat brackets. Where currently the only way to make a 'reliable' 10 HP Pure for PvP is to make an Iron, gated behind thousands of hours of progress, our proposal would knock this number down into the hundreds and could prove damaging to PvP at lower levels - something we're especially cautious of with Bounty Hunter on the horizon."


This is probably the most idiotic reason to not allow for official 10hp accounts.

1. Ironmen that participate in PvP cannot get any Loot/Reward. And has no reason to do it outside of "Fun".

2. Knocking a 1000+ hr journey into a few hundred is not a bad thing when the only point is to PvP with said account. You will still have the 1000+ journey on ironman accounts, and that will still be prestigious. Just how a Maxed UIM/HCIM/IM is more prestigious than a Maxed normal account.

3. It will not hurt the lower bracket of PvP.
A 10hp account has 15hp to play with and will easily be one shotted by anything that hits them. They will risk all their gear on a single auto attack and cannot stay within the wilderness at any point outside of when they pounce. If they use a special attack during their rush, they will be blocked from teleporting and die.

4. It will bring back enjoyable early game builds that does not require a stupid amount of investment for a couple of hours of fun before the xp gained has ruined the account.

5. The PvP community will adapt to these new glasscannon builds. Vengance and recoils will end their life. (Rework typeless damage to give kill credit thanks.).

6. 10hp accounts is a true Pure account. It embodies the pure essence of a full offensive account, and it is a terrible shame that such a build can never be used in PvP or PvE scenarios because it gets ruined after dealing 154 damage.

I just want the ability to do some diaries on my 1 DEF 1 PRAYER pure. If you trace back the long length of requirements for some quests or diaries, it all falls back on having prayer/prayer quests. Teleporting to the falador cabbage patch for my herb run is impossible, because it requires Fairy Tales quests.

Great IDEA ~ Foraging ~ to earn xp you'd have to search fields/forests/mountains/beaches for various herbs,foods,minerals,etc etc. Herbs can tie into making new potions, minerals for new jewelry, foods/berries for pies or somethin idk, Thoughts?
