> The crew drop-down is now taller so the information fits better inside the frame.

That is OK, but replacing the button (down below the list) hiding the crew view with the button opening the crew roster is hardly an improvement of the user experience -- instead of bringing you back to the shipyard view, it lands you in the roster, from which there is exactly NO easy return to the shipyard view (other than the roundabout way via the top level of the interface). I can't see what kind of logic stood behind that. There was nothing wrong with the roster button being to the side; now the functionality is diminished, not improved.

Thanks for the other fixes, though!

I don't get why you didn't make the announcement of the Divine o Matic in the news article instead of just having it buried in all the notes. This is a huge change to how players charge up their augmented gear.

I'm not mad about the decision to make this change, I'm mad that you failed to put it in the news article and how it is up to us players to inform as many players as possible before they get screwed. Got to send a bunch of ******* text messages out now...


Because if the change was widely known, Mod Pi's griefer friends would miss out on their "fun".

Evidently my sample size of 20k gem stones mined last week wasn't enough to convince some that a change had actually been made for the reason "20k isn't a good sample size". Glad to see a mod confirmed it. There is no longer a dearth of emerald and ruby from the priff gem rocks. Anyone could see that with even a little thought as it was immediately obvious as soon as I started mining today that something was changed compared to the 20k gems I mined last week.

Thank you Jagex for balancing these.


I have a feeling whoever said that was trolling you. I took my own samples of how it was and this was the result. You know the rates are messed up when the chance of Dragonstone is almost higher than the combined rates of Emeralds and Rubies

If it doesn't apply to you then hop off my back...

Mid tier PVM is a fair amount of money yes, I do agree. But I'm addressing the fact that these changes to Mining and smithing, that should've had minimal impact on the bossing front caused a massive change in GP.


Good. Drop tables need a nerf overall.


Drop tables need a nerf? what a load of sh*t..
WoOoOoOo! I'm a ghost.

This!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I've always hated that the Crew Roster button was a dead end, but the way it's placed now, I often click it by mistake, wanting to hide the Crew.

Fantastic pie chart. My sample size was actually a little larger than 20k. 22,009 to be exact. I also constructed a chart. The person must have been trolling as they were downright rude and insisting that I was "dumb and didn't know what I was talking about. Your sample of 20k is nothing compared to the millions mined by all players total. Patch notes didn't mention it. You're just wrong. Period"

Not only a fool for calling a data set of 22k insufficient but for insisting he was right no matter what data I had. That my data is just wrong. It feels good to see the egg on his face after Jagex confirmed what my data was showing. It was a delicious moment and he never said another word.

The Divine-o-matic vacuum is now always lost on death.

Other than catering to griefers, what was the point of this change?

Griefing makes for awesome Twitch videos, while money making guides are merely... (sniff)... YouTube videos.

I made the information you gave me into another pie chart here is the result


Sapphire rates were definitely way too high, oddly your's shows the Diamond rates as a lot lower than mine though
