Upon further thoughts, and even poking around at my Kingdom some...it makes total sense for these changes to be implemented...especially now that Archaeology is finally Here : =)

Keep the "base" of the resources as the intro level things players can get. And so that it doesn't hose returning players.

Allow players to upgrade resource spots and can use existing and secondary skills to do so.
Examples:
- Mining spots. Player uses mid tier mining to unlock T40-60 ores. The Mining+Construction to make mining shafts to unlock T70-80 ores.
- Trees. Players can use Farming at 60 to plant Yews. And 75 to plant Magic Trees. Player needs ~10+ trees given to upgrade the area. Player gets 1 off Farming XP for it at ther rate of Plant+Checking of tree.
- Farm spots. Players use Farming to improve the spots to improve the harvest to generic higher tier Herbs or Seeds. Players can swap out the Flax for Herb Secondaries.

can also add additional:
- Divination. Workers just go to gather the Div Spot in Rellekka. At higher level, you "find" a smaller div spot at higher tier (ie: T60 or T70 energy)
- alcohol/brewing. we have the dwarves in the cave area
- clay/limestone/marble. something that can be harvested in the cave area. marble would be untradeable
- Elder tree branches. take a page from corrupt magic logs. player gets something they can fletch or burn, but not trade

Additional workers:
- you have the meddling kids in the Sea Snake area
- the immigrants in the underground cave
- invention to make devices for efficiency (hydroponics, chainsaw, drilling machine)
- summoning for workers like in Clan citadels

@DeltaSlug

A little over the top...
The kingdom is dated for literally right around early mid levels to beginning end game levels in certain aspects.
As runescape has LITERALLY long since advanced with new skills, a few tweaks and reworks, and the fact that players can literally use proteans to level majority of the buyable skills these days...

It only makes sense to entice the player base to keep utilizing the kingdom and give us a little MORE than what we currently get. The Rewards versus The Cost is a minimal profit gain, and the kingdom is 100% crucial to Iron and HC Iron accounts...lets not forget that.

My ideas were to populate the tables with items needed and utilized in todays "grindscape" and for the Iron accounts...not for my own personal gain to be perfectly honest :-)

Trewavas said :
I'll have a proper read of this later, but I will say we know an update has been confirmed.


Please direct me to this thread...if it's external, i don't trust it.
Twitter, Twitch, Discord, FB, and other forms of social media are irrelevant.

Sure, mods talk on social media anymore, but who's to say that they're not just blowing smoke?

So, I hate to say it, but the update was announced at Runefest last year. While little was posted on the forums officially, one individual did quite a good job of collating the promises here: New reveals . I think we can give some weight to the announcement, considering the Farming/Herblore expansions and Archaeology (which were all announced at the same time) have been released. However, you would be right in holding some caution; such reveals have come to nought in the past. I know I for one do hold most of these announcements with a pinch of salt.

On the topic directly at hand, it's clear that a rework is needed. This isn't just the management part; I'd like to see the area reworked graphically for sure, but the Kingdom itself needs to better reflect more recent updates and the emergence of new resources. I like the idea of quests to unlock some further content and do support some of the suggestions raised here.

Thank you Trewavas

What aspects of my suggestion did you like?
What could I change to be a little more "balanced" in terms of the actual game play?
I felt that my suggestion was literally spot on with a bit of balance and met in the middle in terms of how fast we could originally gather the materials ourselves.
I added in a few other materials just for the sake of adding them in, but I also made a slight suggestion to archaeology as well, but I seriously doubt that we will see it added.

There should be a variety of hotspots throughout the world added in that point to specific locations for us to look into and explorer. Sure, some of them SHOULD be quest locked and that goes without saying.

But I would appreciate a critique and any other suggestions you might have.
:D

I do share Trewavas's reservations on the timing.

A few of the updates suggested at other Runefests came years later.

Another point is how much "work" can they put into it and still call it "remastered".
If they excluded graphical updates (beyond maybe using existing updated models for stuff), there are things they could do strictly from a technical side that would shave time off.
Or even then, they may just do something like updating the loot table without doing anything else obvious.
