    Patches look great this week, just a couple of things that still need to be addressed (and a few suggestions):

    - Cooking Potions still don't default on Make-x screen (defaults to Restore Potions)
    - Marks of War should show up as a currency in the Currency Pouch, and tell you when you earn them while bossing (as a filtered message). Hunter Marks should also be shown in the Currency Pouch.
    - A tweak needs to be made to the XP nerf to mining (from last week), where xp starts slowing down steadily to 80% XP at 50% stamina, then sharply declines down to 20% at 0% stamina (both linear rates). This change would still allow for semi-afk players to benefit and reduces the requirement for "four ticking". Given rockertunities form at around 30% stamina, this needs to give an incentive to players to wait for them instead of keeping stamina up, hence rockertunities could give bigger chances of geodes or multiple geodes in a single hit.
    - Farming Guild tasks need to get another look at. Some of the requirements are far too high for such a low reward, while some of the rewards are just, odd. As a suggestion, is it possible to allow a single reroll (using beans) of a person's request per period (24 hours for easy, 72 for medium and one week for hard)? Is it also possible to get a breakdown of the potential rewards from the buyers?
    - As a suggestion, is it possible to add super and extreme versions of the Fletching, Fishing and Crafting potions to match with other skilling potions?     Former HCIM: 25/04/20
    Cause of Death: DCed at KBD.

    Fun, little quest I guess - nothing too impressive, but it certainly was unexpected :) Certainly would like to see something like this more often.

    Regarding the patch notes themselves: Wouldn't it have been better to nerf the xp awarded by tombshrooms/stinks*rooms, rather than the sundry potion?

    They will revert the nerf for the semi-afk portion to what it was before that update, while keeping the one for fully afking intact.

    I am sorta impressed that they rather nerfed beans, rather than fixing a lot of those unfeasible tasks. Albeit I highly guess that using instant growth potions still will be more viable than completing tasks for reputation.

    I would prefer if they were to fix those tasks (either reward or requests, sometimes both), rather than introducing rerolls - rerolling is a band-aid fix at best.     Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2
