So, are we correct in that every leaf we've earned from Forestry is now going to be entirely useless?

Is this Part 2 update now just a few new events with weird event-specific pet recolours (while the initial recolour is.. shop bought?) and 2h axes which are just "mains will obviously use this for xp/hr buff, but irons wont touch it"?

Really disappointed if i'm being honest. I also don't get why Teas being a replacement for the RNG mess and boredom that is Spicy Stews is being so neglected. Why not makes teas something that gives a guaranteed +5 to skills but it only lasts 15 seconds so its much more about just hitting requirements for actions rather than "using to skill for better xp/hr"?

Touching Spicy Stews was never really a consideration for us, they have their place in the game and I personally think that's fine. The original intention was to provide something else that could interact with other Gathering/Production skills but we ultimately don't want to put something into the game which makes players unhappy.

As we said, this isn't to say they don't have their place in the game, just not with this content.

I don’t understand why there is a need to be able to add all logs in one click and tick, multiple people suggested that it could give full experience but takes a few ticks per log to add with a little animation like Runsecape.

If we did something like this, why would anybody light fires anymore, especially because you can't fail adding logs to the Campfires? We don't want to encroach on any current methods and instead offer a different alternative.

we know this is outside the scope of WC, so here's some con xp in your wc training method.

I see, can we get farming XP from events then too?

Glad teas are gone though, appreciate the team listening to that. Really cool idea in theory, and hopefully tea or leaves can make an appearance in a more healthy way in the future.

We discussed this when we talked about the Construction XP from the Bee Hive event and wanted to see if players would want this, so we're definitely open for some more token experience if it feels right/wanted.

what will leaves be useful for if theyre not used in campfires or tea anymore?

i think campfires / tea being good for woodcutting and firemaking only is ok - do woodcutting, get woodcutting boost

They can be used for making Rations, which will be important for 2H Axes and can be used to make Compost.

How come it doesn't make sense to use the vouchers with the plank make spell but using GP does? We're far from the spell having to make sense lol

It would be a nice buff to the skill, maybe even doubling it's speed and it wouldn't be op considering it's multiple times slower than plank making manually and would still be

It feels weird that this method doesn't involve an interaction in any way with a Sawmill, as at least you/POH Servant visiting one would still "hand over the voucher" to gain more Planks.

EDIT: I wasn't aware it also took GP. See my comment below :)

Okay but it's the sawmill that takes a gp payment as well, why are we getting charged gp by the spell then by that logic? Should just cost runes

I just don't think this reasoning makes sense as things stand, if it would be unbalanced in your opinion as a dev alright but not because it doesn't make sense as it already doesn't

Honestly, I wasn't aware it also took GP which is very interesting! Personally, this does give more credence to using the vouchers when casting the spell because that is the case, so I'll raise this with the team.

Yes
