Will scattering ashes in the Catacombs or using the ash sanctifier restore prayer points like the Bonecrusher does?
Will scattering ashes in the Catacombs or using the ash sanctifier restore prayer points like the Bonecrusher does?
It doesn't restore prayer points in the Catacombs. I will raise this with the team if this is something players think should be the case. :)
Bit surprised about the ash sanctifier "After completing the Elite Diary, you'll be able to gain 100% of the Prayer XP you would normally."
The poll question only talked about half xp, which I consider fair considering the charges cost nearly nothing
Poll 75: "Should we add a new item called the Ash Sanctifier? This would allow players to cleanse demonic ashes in a similar fashion to the way the Bonecrusher works with bones, awarding half the usual Prayer XP for each Ash sanctified."
With full xp, you can get roughly 20k prayer from an extended nechryael task, compared to 10k if it only gives half xp. Dont think this needs a buff
Please accept my apologies on this one. I wrote the Poll 75 Blog and when writing the Blog I wasn't aware that the Ash Sanctifier would go up to 100% XP after completing the Diary. The notes I had written down about it was that it worked similarly to the Bonecrusher and I didn't make the XP rates clear enough. I've made a point to raise it in our game update review and consider what we can do to rectify. Sorry again, and thank you for raising it.
BUG? Currently in f2p worlds Imps and Demons drop neither regular ashes or the new ashes. It looks like the new ashes are members only objects, so if they were swapped out on the drop table, they won't drop on f2p worlds as they are.
Thanks for raising this. This looks like it's due to the change we've made in the Ash System, we'll look into how we can tweak the system so that drops in F2P remain the same.
Edit - I've been made aware (thanks to you guys!) that the current situation doesn't reflect what was polled in relation to F2P, so we'll definitely be fixing that when we discuss it as a team tomorrow in our game update review.
So imps/demons will continue to drop regular old ashes on f2p worlds? Was there a particular reason behind this rather than allowing ashes to be scattered on f2p as well?
Won't know until we discuss this as a team, but we'd probably look to make regular old ashes drop on F2P Worlds. We didn't really poll the latter option which is why the first is preferred, but the second option is possible.
Edit: Correction - I've been made aware we did put F2P information in the Blog, and we'll be correcting the Ash system so that it works as polled. Apologies for the miscommunication. :)
You forgot to change the pvp worlds, AGAIN.
Thanks for raising, we're currently looking into shutting down those worlds (with a 30-minute countdown timer) in order to convert them for their intended purposes.
Socials will follow soon. Apologies for any inconvenience.
random question: why does Resurrect Greater Zombie give 88 exp but the skeleton and ghost variants only give 70?
This was an oversight in the Blog, it has now been changed. Thank you for raising it to us!
I just logged in at the entrance to the catacombs and that is most definitely not where I logged off. Has anyone else experienced this post update??
Due to the remapping involved in this week's game update, your character may have been placed in a different area than where you last logged off.
u/JagexSarnie, u/JagexLight F2P changes were not implemented, including the polled auto-cast for Crumble Undead on Skull Sceptre, as well as the demonic ashes from imps and demons. You cannot use auto-cast with the standard spellbook on F2P worlds, and demons drop no ashes at all.
Currently, only spells from the Arceuus Spellbook can be auto-cast with the Sceptre. The Crumble Undead auto-cast will be coming later on.
I know I commented already, but I went and had a look and the blog contained a clarification that the ashes would be available on f2p worlds.
14/12/2020 - Added more information to the 'Demonic Ashes' section, clarifying that they would be available in F2P should those monsters be available to kill in F2P worlds.
Ah thank you! That helps so much. Okay, so it looks like this should be changed to fit the Blog. I'll bring this up tomorrow, then we'll clarify in the Blog and make appropriate changes. Much appreciated.
You did poll the latter option… I don’t see any reason the question would imply it wouldn’t be f2p. That would’ve been stated.
Edit: Especially considering the blog does state they’d be f2p
14/12/2020 - Added more information to the 'Demonic Ashes' section, clarifying that they would be available in F2P should those monsters be available to kill in F2P worlds.
Ah yep, you're completely right. Thanks for letting me know, we'll rectify this after our game update review tomorrow <3
The poll question doesn't mention either way on being f2p or not.
Should Demonic Ash be added to the game? Demonic Ash would replacethe ash that usually drops from certain creatures. It can be scatteredinto the air for a small amount of Prayer experience, just as buryingbones does. Demonic Ashes would not work with Prayer altars or theEctofuntus.
(Question 17 from here: https://secure.runescape.com/m=poll/a=13/oldschool/results?id=1614)
I think in the f2p community it was just assumed that the lower tier ashes for imps and lesser/greater demons would be obtainable in f2p. The only concern really was over whether bones and ashes would be able to be buried/scattered in the same tick effectively doubling prayer rates for regular f2p accounts.
edit: thgril pointed out that the poll blog change log does infact specify ashes were to be f2p.
Thank you! I'll bring it up tomorrow and will push for that to get changed to fit what the blog says. Sorry for adding to the confusion! D: Thanks for raising it.
Zalcano isn't dropping the new Infernal ashes
Thanks for raising this to us, it's noted. After our team meeting tomorrow we'll be at a good place to decide on whether this can be hotfixed. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Did the respawn timers for Ankou (in the Catacombs of Kourend) get adjusted? I never remember having to wait for them to respawn while bursting before today. Maybe I'm crazy
I'm not specifically aware of changes, however we know that a change was made Engine side which may have unintentionally affected certain areas of the game. I'll bring it up with the team tomorrow and see whether this is related - and get more info for you. Thanks for raising.
Minor thing, in the new Shayzien camp there is a Silver Needle spawn that I think was supposed to be a needle.
Thanks, we've got this noted to fix next week.
