Okay, here's what **NEEDS** to happen:

First and foremost, the Yak Coins/Yak Coin Store need to go! They need to be removed! They need to be no more! No more of this B.S., "Ooooh you got all the rewards from the Yak Track! Good for you! But wait! *NOW* you need to get these coins and get the *rest* of the rewards from this entirely unnecessary shop too!"

Second - The rewards need to be as follows for ***EVERY*** Yak Track:

- A Magic/Mage cosmetic override outfit; including a matching staff override, wand override, and book or orb override.

- A Melee/Warrior cosmetic override outfit; including a matching two-handed weapon override, main hand override, and off hand override. As for whether the 2h weapon is a sword, spear, halberd, or maul is up to you, but it should fit in with the theme of the Yak Track that features it.

- A Range/Archer cosmetic override outfit; including a two-handed bow, shield bow, or crossbow (but ***NOT*** all three!), a main hand range weapon override, and an off hand range weapon override. As far as the dual wield override being a crossbow, throwing star, knife, dart, throwing axe, or chakram, that is again up to you, but should be in keeping with the Track's theme.

- One shield cosmetic override

- One cape cosmetic override

- One wing cosmetic override

- Four companion pets; a yak to fit the track's theme, and one pet to go with each of the outfit and weapon overrides.

- One home teleport animation override

- One rest animation override


THINGS THAT NEED TO BE REMOVED FROM YAK TRACKS


- The aforementioned Yak Coins, and Yak Coin Shop

- Shoulder capes!

And on a related note : You guys need to get on the task of adding spaces to the cape rack in the POH Costume Room for the shoulder capes.

- Titles as rewards! I mean, come on! Seriously?!?!

***THIS*** is how it ***NEEDS*** to be from now on!

If anything needs to go in this game it is cosmetic overrides,

There could just be a toggle off option. I like some cosmetic overrides..recent ones are too bulky. The simple ones!

I support the OP. Haven't been able to complete one track yet XD

OP, what you think Yak Track should be will indeed be mostly on the new Hero Pass. Yak Track is gone, and so will Yak Coins and Yak Store as well as Skip Tokens.

Incoming are 94 new cosmetics, undoubtedly will include all kind of cosmetics overrides, animations, pets, titles and more.

The only thing not being mentioned clearly is the Shoulder Cape. We should have more news on this weekend, prior to Hero Pass being released next week.

yak coin store isn't going away rather it's being reskinned in the hero pass same with yak sacks and yak skips

I'm expecting hero pass to be retired for a even more predatory reskin in a few years when jagex has milked it dry

There is no "yak skips" in the Hero Pass. Hero points must be earned from playing the RS3, just nothing buyable.

And no tradeable but cheap Shoulder's Capes from Hero Pass, so no new Shoulder's Capes and not need to put them on cape rack perhaps. Perhaps they are more worthy now given there are no new tradable cosmetics from Hero Pass.
