Today we’re bringing forward the poll questions for Tombs of Amascut, Old School’s highly anticipated third raid. We also have two brand new quests on offer!

Should Land of the Goblins be added to the game, as described in the blog? Land of the Goblins is an Experienced-level quest which advances the Dorgeshuun storyline.

I am voting yes only if there is a mind goblin in the quest. Can a Jmod give me some spoiler information about this matter so I can take an informed decision?

Only if said Mind Goblin asks you to look after his Monkey nut collection.

I'm not sure I'll be able to get 1k but I'll try!

If the Raids quest doesn't pass, but ToA itself does, would that mean ToA would no longer be questlocked?

Worried about people voting no so their pures and alts can participate.

No, it'd likely mean we'd have to revisit the quest as it's rather integral to the story behind the Tombs of Amascut. The quest can't happen without the raid being in the game though, so it does rely on it passing first!

Why does a master tier quest give 1qp and experienced tier gives 2qp and more xp as a reward?

Romeo would like a word or two.

Just RuneScape things I guess? But the master tier quest gives more overall if you consider access to the raid too.

I am very glad that more quests are being proposed. I'll be voting yes to all of these questions but not without first saying:

Please, please, please make sure this looks Old School. It's the weakness of a lot of modern updates. I won't be happy if we get another Nex/Torva/TOB/SOTE/Elf Rework situation. It's what I expect to happen, but I've still got to do my token ask.

Also, after Land of the Goblins (which I'm very much looking forward to and doesn't entirely fit in with my coming point), can we take a long, long, long break from backported RS3 content and get back on track with content that fits our game? RS3 content already exists and is playable in RS3. I'd rather OSRS went its own way.

(EDIT: This doesn't meant I don't want quest lines finished off because I do. I just want them to fit OSRS in style and atmosphere.)

As much as I dislike Soul Wars, Nex, and Torva, they aren't a dealbreaker for me just yet. I'm not happy about them, but it's not the end of the world right now, but I'm already pretty disenchanted with the game because of them and any more RS3 content will probs ruin it for me completely.

I'd probably actually be okay with them, or even like them, if the art wasn't so dreadful.

EDIT: It's sad that wanting original OSRS content which the team are so incredibly skilled at providing is a downvotable comment these days. Used to it now though.

Thanks for the feedback! Looking at our 2022 roadmap, there is very little to no backported content so I think we got that bit covered.

Such a joke osrs is directly linking to reddit now. The fact the Jmods views this subreddit as a genuine voice for osrs seriously worries me.

That was my fault, I put the wrong link into the shortener we use for the broadcast system. I changed it after 5 seconds to the newspost, but I imagine many clicked it instantly.

Sorry about that!

Is there going to be anything decisive coming up in the next month to shake up the upcoming Leagues 3? /u/JagexAyiza

Are you referring to the release date? If so, I think the risk of it being pushed back further is very very slim and nothing to worry about!

Getting the cape back every time is part of the fun right???

with raids 3 coming out shortly, is there any possibility of balancing the elder maul before it comes out. Potentially a % dmg increase vs characters larger than 1 tile, this way pvp isnt affected.

How many mauls do you have in the bank???

Serious response - there are plenty of items we can look at rebalancing, but does the only option have to be straight up buffing them? Maybe certain items could become more effective than others in particular pieces of content instead?

Doesn't look like it from Ed's documentation 👀

A mod answered this in another comment. Tldr romeo and juliet isnt a master level quest but you get loads of QP for that and quantity of QP isnt associated to difficulity of quest.

You dropped this 👑

Interesting, Land of the Goblins has been talked about for years as a potential quest to add, due to it being in a near-complete stage, but it has never seemed to be an overly popular request. I wonder what has changed now since you wanna poll it (not that I don't want it)?

Honestly, I'd say it's a combination of the following:

  • Increased demand for quests
  • A lack of new content in 2021
  • Discovering that the majority of the work for this quest was already done
  • Mod Ed & his love for quests.

When you put all of that together it seems like a win-win for everyone!

So what you're basically saying is Leagues 3 is coming in summer, got it.

na im joking but actually what I meant is that in terms of content are you guys still working on leagues 3 or is it absolutely 100% finished now? We have a small group of players theory crafting already on the most optimal routes and what do expect so I was wondering if there is still any surprises or changes we might see.

Ah - yeah development for Leagues III is practically done (from what I can tell anyway). Maybe a few small tweaks here and there, but in terms of major changes then no.

I would love for this year to just be quest continuations. I want to know what happened with the Red Axe, Slug Queen lady, and the Fairy Queen! What happened with that evil pretend monk in devious minds? Temple of Ikov had a cliff hanger too! There are some penguins up to no good in the north as well. I NEED ANSWERS u/JagexAyiza !!

I'm sure Mod Ed has plans somewhere to continue every questline :D

It will! I've just updated the blog to include this information :)

With the release of Land of the Goblins, a miniquest, Hopespear’s Will, was added as well. Will we be seeing that miniquest come back too if the quest itself passes?

I've literally just updated the blog to include a question for this! :)

Hey u/JagexAyiza quick question about the Keris Partisan- does it keep the bonus damage to followers of Scarabas the Keris has innately when upgraded? I haven’t seen that mentioned and it seems weird for it to lose its niche when becoming stronger

It keeps the bonus damage :)
