Jagex, can you fix the incredibly dumb exploit where you can gear up in Bandos and then set your def to 1 and bully all the pures? Or 40 def with veng.

We're planning to fix that with this week's update.

We'll look at either changing the curve for receiving points to feel more rewarding or increasing the value of the crates - or a combination of both.

Please do. I went 25-0 in 3 hours of playing the beta and still couldn't buy a 60k dragon scimitar from the shop. That same KDR would have made me 5m in emblems alone pre-rework.

To be clear, those shop prices were just placeholder and not balanced yet! The balanced prices can be expected in this week's update.

Rune pouches will potentially become a lot more difficult to obtain. Make them tradeable and offer them for a reasonable price in the BH store

Because emblems were originally transferable through death and later made tradeable the rune pouch has been a buyable since release. Pre-rework a 6 killstreak was sufficient to get you one pouch so the new cost from the store should roughly reflect that. Even the most recent proposal of 75 points would make rune pouches far more time consuming to get than before either buff the rate of point gain or reduce the cost of the rewards.

Poll some new rewards with a target KC requirement down the line

So that people who do not like PvP will have to go out of their way to vote no.

This reworked BH is looking to be a lot less profitable than the original BH

I understand why you made it so that the other player requires an emblem of the same tier or higher to up...

Awesome, thanks a ton for this feedback.

We'll consider making the Rune pouch a lot cheaper not just in BH, but the Slayer shop too (polled, of course).

I want to add more rewards to the shop, but the way we go about this is TBD. It's not clear that polling only to players that want something is a good idea - the team is having a meeting to discuss this later this week.

We'll look at either changing the curve for receiving points to feel more rewarding or increasing the value of the crates - or a combination of both.

We can tweak the tasks in the way you described and add some of the ones you suggested - things that require specific equipment to be used still aren't possible though.

Hello!

We'll be live on twitch.tv/oldschoolrs on TUESDAY 22nd October. We'll be live from 5pm BST (that's 12pm EST, 9am PDT, and 3am AEDT).

I'll be your host. What questions would you like me to ask (and - hopefully - answer)?

It's another Tuesday Q&A this week I'm afraid, as a few of us (namely myself, Ash, John C and Kieren) are at an all-day meeting on Wednesday.

EDIT:

We're sorry to announce that today's Q&A has been cancelled. We moved the Q&A to Tuesday in order to work around an offsite on Wednesday which would cause a lot of the team to be out of office. With some staff on holiday, others working on Bounty Hunter feedback, others working on Halloween and this week's update, we aren't well-placed to offer a Q&A today.

We’ll try to answer any submitted questions in submitted threads, or carry the questions to next week's stream. In the meantime...

Since you have to do it in a BH world and there are no such worlds at the moment, you're kinda stuck with them.

I will flag this one to Ash on Monday morning and gather his thoughts thanks!

Sorry, poor wording. I’m trying to start a discussion on whether it would be a good idea to make a player able to own and use more than one rune pouch at a time, since that seemed to be the sticking point on making them tradable at all.

I'm pretty sure it's not technically feasible - rune pouches open a unique inventory where you can keep some runes. Even if you have multiple pouches, they'd all open the same inventory.

That's not good enough, Wilderness Slayer without emblem drops will be absolutely terrible.

Then we can increase the the average value of the rewards from Larran's chest too. This is bearing in mind that Wilderness Slayer was already buffed with the addition of Larran's keys. The purpose of the content is to get Slayer points faster, not gold per hour.

Do beta worlds still not have any quick gearing QoL.

Even just JMods tagging items with 'pk' or 'zulrah' for searching would make sifting through a lot faster.

Or just snapshop one setup after you gear, and that snapshot can be lost on logout so it's just temporarily stored idk 😭

You can gear instantly using the load-outs.

Are there many scenarios where having multiple rune pouches would be OP? This could be a good time to consider that question since they want to make it tradable but are stuck on the fact you are currently only allowed to own one.

Only things I can think of are ZMI and pking on normal spellbook. Maybe some kind of CoX strategy, idk?

You wouldn't be able to use them individually so it doesn't make you any more powerful anywhere.
