RuneFest is TOMORROW!
What are you hoping we'll announce?
Hey /r/JagexAcorn , with the tithe farm bring reduced in size recently I'm concerned that there won't be enough worlds for everyone who decides to use it. Is this being taken into consideration?
We will make sure we have enough worlds on stand by to boot up for players in the league :)
Flippy for the love of god dont let us hanging too long.
I am at work rn reloading the page just in hope of seeing new details appearing.
The hype is so real that I spammed some of my friends who dont play anymore just because ai feel like people will come back for that!
It makes me incredibly happy to see posts like this. Believe me, I am equally hyped. My best excitement-outlet is planning my account, because having a game-plan will be key.
Keep staying tuned, it will be worth it. Happy scaping!
It makes me so happy seeing you guys already coming up with ideas like this for future leagues. Really cool concept, thanks for the suggestion!
Will we be able to send the rewards to ironman accounts?
I really want to play this on my ironman, but if it means stopping my progress on the main game ill probably pass.
How would you feel about accounts being able to 'use' the rewards on Iron accounts, akin to using a Bond?
Really solid basis for an idea here. Thanks for sharing it!
These are amazing! 100% love it!
Way to yoink this from West lol
Muh karma D:
They replied to this post before, if I recall correctly. Something about the slayer helm already being near the polygon limit and not being able to add the others.
That being said, Idk how that works with the twisted helm.
I’ve recently optimised the slayer helmet so it’s about 100 tris fewer now. That being said, I still felt the need to shave a couple more tris off this new helm to accommodate the new horns.
While doing this helm I added that suggestion for the unique slayer helm designs into the backlog as it’s clearly very popular :D

What will you do about all the items that you get components for on zeah?? Dragon hunter lance, kodai wand, etc? Would these drops be unusable? Since they require a zamorakian hasta and master wand respectively?
No spoilers, but I will at least say we have thought about this.
/u/JagexFlippy /u/JagexHusky I hope this hasn't already been answered as to not waste your time but:
Is there a plan on how players are to obtain viable equipment for Chambers and its challenge mode? Hitting time requirements on challenge modes are going to be awfully tight if not too tight. Are players going to recieve equipment from rewards/tasks alongside points such as Blowpipe, higher tier crossbows, etc?
And will drop rates be changing to accomodate tasks? Asking to weild a 1/5000 droprate item people commonly go dry on as a Hard task is a bit of a stretch surely not?
This you will have to find out once the update goes live, we don't want to spoil the juicy parts for you guys! Theory-crafting is key in this game mode! :)
How many servers are you planning to dedicate to this mode? I was assuming there wouldn't be that many, so "jumping to a random world", would mean like choosing one out of 5 servers available.
And regarding the D-warhammer: I have nothing against certain tasks being out of my reach, for example I know I won't be able to do CoX tasks and that's okay. But the issue with D-warhammer is the extreme RNG. You said:
"Pick which ones you want, some people will want to get a dragon warhammer and will be rewarded for it."
Will they? If the server has a limited duration time and a task like this is heavily luck based, it really doesn't seem balanced, but rather unfair. It barely measures skill or dedication to the game.
Have you considered having some kind of counter to this? Something like Vorkath, maybe, where you get the piece needed for accumulator for sure after a set amount of kills?
Cheers for the awesome mode anyways, let's hope it doe...
I think if we have only 5 league worlds that may be a problem. I'd be surprised if less than 10,000 players were playing at any point in time.
Im not a big fan of pet drops being facts that can determine how high you can place. Unelss there is some sort of luck bad luck protection. I feel like this type of game design feels VERY bad for the players specially competitive ones (since it all comes down to rng to determine if you can complete the task or not)
I also dont think rewards should be tradeable but instead should be available after every season. (not limited). If you are bad and want the rewards play 2 seasons. If you are good play one. Making them tradeable removes a lot of the prestige that comes from the rewards themselves.
As I stated above, we don't want heavy RNG to determine your rank.
Your comment was responding to complaints about three tasks, two of which are rng based, stating that those are for hardcore players to grind out if they want to compete for the top ranks. My response was stating that those aren't realistically attainable without getting lucky, even if you're a hardcore player.
I agree, but is that relevant as long as it doesn't affect your end goals and result? If a pet or such is not a gatekeeper towards receiving your desired reward or rank, I struggle understanding why it's a problem for such tasks to exist. We would intentionally withhold content for some who could actually achieve it.
Pet is to heavily based on rng. A player with Max gear, stats and scouts is very likely to never get it in that timeframe. Look at kacy with Max gear took 4k solo kc for Pet.
Of course it is, but the relevancy of the pet task is completely dependent on the amount of master/elite tasks we are handing you. If the pet was one out of a hundred (as an example, not a real number) master tasks, it would make literally no difference whether you got a pet or not. You see where I'm coming from?
Read moreWell it certainly won't be me since the time investment is absurd.
Let's look at the Hard, Elite, and Master Tasks.
Hard: Equip a Dragon Warhammer
- RNG variable, but I think 50-100+ hours on average, especially without a blowpipe, is a safe bet.
Elite: Complete 250 Chambers of Xeric Runs
- Efficient Raids with max stats are around 20 minutes. Trident and Blowpipe won't be available here either, nor will barrows. So realistically, if being generous, a maxed player would be able to complete maybe 2 raids per hour. And that's with lucky scouts (alt scouting will be meta, btw). So that's 125 hours of raids at max efficiency, and the real number is far higher.
Master: Metamorphose Olmlet
- So not only do you have to OBTAIN Olmlet (assuming the average raid is about 100,000 points (~11% of drop) in a trio, and you have 33...
Here's a reply I made to someone complaining that maxing was a ridioulous task. The same applies to the tasks you've pointed out, hopefully this clears it up. It's worth noting we have around 500 tasks so far in design/development. Don't focus on the ones on the blog too much
No. You cannot max if you only play 1-2 hours a day... AND THAT's FINE! These are not a bucket list of tasks where you have to complete everything, instead these are a list of tasks which you can choose which ones to complete!
We want a huge range of tasks which are impossible for one person to complete all of them so that you always have another goal to work towards. Someone will surely max but that person may not have some of the other tasks complete. The goal with Master tasks is to award players for the absolutely insane long-term achievements.
Will Barbarian Training be made available?
Yes.
