- Add quick-hop options to the shortcuts
- Add an activity bar
- Increase the flower limit on kettles
- Fix the pirate ship banners' animations in EoC and Legacy

- Add all difficulties of clue scroll to the rewards (including master)
- Make brewin' guides available from Jimmy
- Add insect repellent to deter angry sweetflies
- Add win/loss jingles
- Disable head overrides
- Add cooking bonus xp to the rewards
- Add doubloons from TH as a reward for the winners, in addition to pieces of eight
- Make sabotaging more rewarding and buff steam venting damage (or remove altogether)
- Add hiscores (e.g. amount of wins)
- Allow clan-specific games
- Allow multiple games simultaneously via instances
- Add piratical invention components that give loot-related perks to the rewards
- Add the ability to add the holy wrench to the toolbelt as a reward

(Wouldn't let me quote just the trouble brewing section only -.-)
I like your ideas alot it but some would just do more harm than good.
Truthfully as a player who has spent alot of time playing tb back in the day the reason it did well was because no one actually enjoyed sabotaging because it turned into a trolling flame war, it did not have a activity bar (doing nothing only hurt you since most the points earned towards your reward relied on you actually helping), hiscores it could do without since its more a chill skilling type of minigame, it needs ability to buy bxp and get amount of xp earned per game buffed (alot).Though for rewards I feel being to buy clues and maybe some new exclusive hops for new high end brews.
Finally make it alot easier to access maybe just require pirates treasure need the skiller crowd.

Add the ability to teleport around the telekinetic arena while in observe mode without breaking out of the observe interface at mage training arena
Good one, that is rather annoying.

@Yggdrasil: Yeah I'm not very keen on having sabotage reworked myself, since it's just annoying. Maybe setting fire on bridges could be kept since that's sort of interesting, but breaking each other's machinery is just a hassle. Hiscores I've suggested for every minigame because I've found they're a very good incentive for people to play. :) Thanks for the input! I really do hope the new master clues will be added as rewards, but I fear they might not. Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

Perhaps you're half right; perhaps we can't win. But we can fight.

I wonder whether the clue scroll from trouble brewing is a one-time purchase or not (like the ones obtained from feeding a monkey bananas or findable after 'Do No Evil'), as it is provided over a chat option instead of the shop interface. If so it could provide an achievement, if not it should be certainly added to the interface.

What would you think about the following prices?

Easy 50 Po8
Medium 100 Po8
Hard 300 Po8
Elite 1000 Po8 (increased chance for a master upgrade)

Seeing how master clues were released (1 % chance as an elite upgrade or TT reward) I wouldn't sell them directly, but rather use the upgrade mechanism used elsewhere (but with improved odds - something around 5-10 %) Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

Since you can get about one easy clue per miunte from H.A.M. I'd suggest the following
Easy: 25
Medium: 75
Hard: 250
Elite: 750 (mind, Phasmatys flag is 600) with indeed a 10% chance of its being master, increased by completion of Pieces of Hate. Maybe a Ring of Charos (a)(i) could also help, just for fun? Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

I wouldn't imbue it as it never affected the strength of the enchantment elsewhere, but otherwise it actually sounds quite neat - something around 25 % when everything is used?
Would work for me. Elites are expensive enough as is, at ~750. Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

But it is actually quite a fair distribution with goals in sight (you wouldn't have to grind out for days/weeks). Maybe an additional thought - while I do not know what pirate implings will award after their rework later this month, I'd suggest they could drop a random clue (most likely a medium one, but it could be every tier. Pirate implings in trouble brewing would do this quite rarely, as they're intended to obtain materials for the game - but they could have the scroll sometimes as an additional reward directly sent to your bank in order to prevent locking inventory space and allowing directly signing up for another round after the last one is finished.

Some thought on concrete distribution of clues, when one is obtained (pieces of hate would improve the odds for higher tiered ones):

Easy 25 (15)
Medium 50 (40)
Hard 20 (35)
Elite 5 (10) - pieces of hate would increase the upgrade chance to master to roughly 5 %

I must really admit I've fallen in love with treasure trails recently (not with elites, but especially with masters after a somewhat clunky start) and would be more than happy to see another source.

I've got a suggestion for hard clues though: Puzzle box pictures currently are a mix of the ones used for elite clues and those stemming from early RS2. Why not entirely using the old elite ones in here (they do not look that shabby and would allow for some more variety when players actually do both kinds). Elites also could get the sliske picture used in the 2016 easter event added (http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/File:T.A.R.A._puzzle_box.png) Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

Will (try to, modulo space constraints) update everything.

The Dominion Tower combat requirement was removed today. Seems good, then low-levelled players can also enjoy the low-levelled bosses (and find them non-trivial). Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !
