We cleaned up some in-game text recently to make it consistent for lore, but I do remember reading the old God letters when I was a teenager in the early 2000s and seeing reference to Gielinor.

/u/JagexGambit has largely completed work on it, it was sent round internally for feedback, and that feedback is being implemented.

It'll be with you soon (sorry to say that again).

Welcome to Old School!

  • You'll find your gear stats in the Worn Equipment tab.
  • That tab looks like a little man with his arms outstretched and his legs quite far apart.
  • Within that tab you'll see some boxes. The one that is a helmet and shield will show you your gear stats.

/u/Padaz linked a great article for a quest order. Otherwise I'd say just have a look at storylines that interest you and follow those series.

The map looks great on a mousemat. Makes me jealous that I'm stuck with a Vorkath one.

It sounds like you're happy with the purchase, but here's how to contact the merch store customer service if you weren't happy with the quality.

Hope you all had fun! Sorry for any hiccups on this trial run, we'll make sure to iron them out for the next one :)

HMU with any feedback you may have here.

I asked this question for last week's Q&A and Gambit skipped over my shard suggestion and just said they didn't want teleport crystals added. Don't know why that part was avoided as it makes total sense.

Sorry about that - I sometimes cut questions down if I think they're wordy to help with the flow of the stream. I'll pass the suggestion for shards to be added to that table forward to the SotE team.

Could we be allowed to get a cat fully grown after completing the quests that require a cat? It’s annoying when my cat dies and I have to wait 3 hours for it to grow to full to then use it to kill some rats for a chance at a boost.

I suspect the answer to this one will be to take better care of your cats. Getting fully grown cats right off the bat would at minimum need to cost the equivalent of the death runes they can be traded in for.

Does reporting them like this actually do anything?

And couldn‘t you potentially blacklist any ‚gambling‘ related names? Eg. BET/ROLL ect

Reporting does help, blocking names wouldn't be too worthwhile as there are surprisingly players who are playing legitimately with the name with no dodgy activity and as seen from the screenshot they would just go to jumbled up names.

If you went to the Support Center and searched "bond" then the article Transfer Bonds will have appeared. Follow the guide, and it'll result in you being able to submit a payment ticket for assistance.

Hey all, just to clarify some things and allay any fears about getting new players.

Jad definitely isn't in Recipe for Disaster, you're quite right.

This isn't anything from the official store listing. This is a snippet from a longer article that the App Store themselves published some months ago. If you're on an iOS device you can read it here: https://apps.apple.com/us/story/id1455301149

I've had a look at this and the vast majority of your chat does seem to be song lyrics. It looks like people find that quite disruptive, I'd imagine more so for people who don't know the songs and will perceive you are just chatting random nonsense. You got reported 75 times for this disruption which triggered a review of your chat.

Within your chat there is a lot of mention of guns and cocaine, although it does seem to be song lyrics. However, there are also some references that do not appear to be song lyrics, for example use of hate terms.

On balance I've removed the temporary mute for you, given the potential that some of your inappropriate chat is replicated lyrics, but I've also sent you some of the chat that concerned us, so you can get the full context that this mute wasn't just for 'singing Johnny Cash songs'.

Moving forwards, I'd suggest you consider whether replicating hundreds of lines of song lyrics in game is considerate to other players, and ...

Crystal crown, and the boots from Lliann's shop would sort that outfit right out, maybe find a different amulet though.

I've just banned (or secured if compromised) over 3,500 accounts directly related to this activity. There's things in the works to hopefully stem the flow of this kind of behavior long term.

It doesn't hurt to poll stuff...

Just poll Gauntlet loot buff, if the community wants it, it gets 75%. Just poll Blade of Saeldor buff, if the community wants it, it gets 75%.

There is no downside to poll these things, just f**king do it. I don't understand what is taking you guys so long.

The content has just been released, and we are continuing to monitor things. We will poll things as and when we see fit, I don't understand what you mean by "taking us so long" when the content hasn't even been out for two weeks yet?

It only needs 100 shards to charge. I think the weapon is fine as is. You shouldnt make it compete with a rapier. Blade reqs no items and gauntlet, rapier is a reward for the hardest pvm content, tob.

If you’re going to buff the blade, buff rapier too then.

Other suggestion: make the blade speed 5 (long sword) with a higher str bonus at the cost of some speed. That way it’ll fill it’s niche use in a different way that isn’t an exact rapier clone. It’ll be slower but hit higher and be somewhat similar dps if you plug the numbers in right.

The main change I was personally thinking was to make it 50 charges per shard, but I understand your feedback. We won't be making any changes to the Ghrazi rapier alongside any changes though.

I did, and a few others on the OldSchool team did as well. Agile, Witchdoctor mask, Inferno adze and a max cape were the real Gs.

We actually discussed adding this as a potential reward from the Prifddinas agility course, however with graceful being in the game already it was somewhat difficult to find it a niche. It could potentially come in the future if it had good enough reason to.
