In the interest of consistency, my idea was to have blurite be used for jewellery from levels 1-19, silver from 20-39, and gold thereafter. I was reaching a bit with equipment; jewellery would be a better fit for the material based on current lore.

While this would require to graphically update a lot of pieces of jewellery, it certainly would fix the bottleneck gold is for IM in the beginning (and I doubt this part got any better with the mining/smithing rework, since you won't even be able to find the odd gold bar drop somewhere before 40 in both stats - I guess you could telegrab a gold bar in the varrock bank or so...)

Maybe this also would be the chance to consolidate stone spirits for a bit:

Gold/Silver -> Precious: Affects blurite, silver, gold and gem rocks
Core spirits up to t50 - Sedimentary: Affects any core rock up to and including runite
Orichalcite/Drakolith -> Orichalcite: Affects both t60 core ores.
Necrite/Phasamatite -> Necrite: Affects both t70 core ores.
Banite: Remains unchanged.
Light/Dark Animica -> Animica: Affects both t90 core ores.

Albeit considering how comparably worthless all kinds of stone spirit by now are, they also could consolidate spirits from t60 to 90 to an igneous one - basically reducing the mix to precious, sedimentary and igneous. This system worked like a charm for anima stones for runecrafting after all - they're just a bit too rare still - and a variation for necrotic runes is entirely missing.

I think adjusting the runes in the enchantment spells as part of the rework is fully fitting as well. Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

Adding something to your treasure trails suggestion from a few pages ago.

Making easy clues available to f2p with an adjusted rule set would make them behave extremely different to how they would in p2p, as well as making them rather trivial to do. While they're certainly not too hard, they still involve quite a degree of capability to traverse the world and come by certain items, which outright punishes players who would do them on a p2p world. Obviously they could cut two to three reward rolls on free worlds for compensation, but this wouldn't lead to a satisfying experience either.

In here OS once again had had a better concept called beginner clues. They are a dedicated set of clues exclusively taking place in misthalin, asgarnia and the desert area around al kharid featuring extremely low skill and item requirements with all rewards being available and usable by free players. Some clue steps are entirely new, while others are shared with easy and medium. I think that would work much better, than forcefully trying to get easy ones to work with f2p.

Noctis suggested beginner clues a while ago. As an exclusive RS3 player who never does clues, I hadn’t understood the difference. I’ve updated that section.

I’ve added your stone spirit suggestions to the Jewellery section. Spirit of Forinthry ~ Runecrafting: Magic Armour ~ F2P Extensions ~ Dragon Slayer improvements ~ New Player Experience

Instead of making clues f2p. Just give f2p the quest You Are It.

You Are It will introduces clues to the f2p player so they know what they are and how they work when they become a member.

As a new player getting you're 1st clue is confusing.

You Are It also takes place in f2p areas with a focus on the Duke of Lumbridge.

The only members stuff is the tree in the quest start location (Which they could move to a f2p area or give f2p Hemenster)

There are more issues with it - obviously the quest start and end location could be re-located to somewhere into the free area, but you won't be able to do a coordinate clue without a watch, map and sextant - which you also have to receive on several locations in the p2p world. Obviously that would be solvable either somehow, but condensing the relevant parts of the game world further down is the polar opposite of what they should be doing. And yeah - this quest certainly isn't intended for players who haven't done at least medium levelled treasure trails before.

I think some kind of introduction to more complex pieces of content would be a nice addition though, so they could add something like the 'X marks the spot' quest from OS, which is a short treasure hunt from lumbridge to port sarim and showcases a couple of clue types players could encounter on treasure trails, awarding a few hundred xp, some gp and a free beginner clue in the end. Translating this into RS3, it could be an exemplary treasure hunt from zaida, which would send you to a few points of interest in varrock. Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2
