Why does the Grubby Chest give me so many items? It makes it annoying to use

• However, after playing with the content myself over the weekend I have made a change so that the red dragonhide/dragon bones will come un-noted as this drop is annoying to receive unless the player is currently training crafting/prayer at red dragons.

Did you mean "will come noted"? Otherwise the wording is a bit confusing. It sounds like they currently come un-noted which makes it annoying because it fills up your inventory.

Yes, that is correct. Currently every drop is noted from the Grubby Chest except red dragonhides/dragon bones.

I've updated it so that as of thursday, red dragonhides/dragon bones will be noted when receiving them from the chest.

Will the theme behind the dungeon expand in the future? The undead druids must've been alive at some point and what powers does the mask they're wearing have? The moon god seems to have a lot going and I wonder what we'll uncover next.

I would certainly like to explore this story more in the future although I can't make any promises to what is being worked on next!

Is there any reason the boss doesn't inflict poison? I was very surpised when I did my first task and didn't get poisoned.

I felt like the poisonous spider trope had already been done by Venenatis. I wanted to focus on a spider boss which had a "swarming the player" kind of feel

So over the weekend I've been hopping around a number of streams and reddit threads and have seen a lot of the same question coming up regarding the design of the Forthos Dungeon. As such, I thought it would be interesting if I made a reddit post to address some of these questions.

What is the droprate of the Cudgel/Pet/Jar/Mask of Ranul?

  • I'll make that public within the next couple of weeks, keep an eye on my twitter!

Why did you change Sarachnis to be a non-instanced boss, it said that it was going to be instanced in the poll blog?

  • The poll blog was amended before the poll went live that we will make Sarachnis non-instanced and I apologise if anyone voted for it without seeing that. The reason it was changed is that of all the feedback we received from the initial poll blog, the fact that we had another instanced boss was the biggest one.

  • When I reviewed this feedback, the more...

i and others in my clan chat got disconnected from the server before you posted this message (NA servers)

edit: adding context to this now since apparently people think I'm a moron. the original post was made immediately after a large amount of people lost connection for the first time of the day. this was before the in game message appeared and I made this comment before the mod had explained that the fix was specifically for disconnects. I was trying to add helpful information for the mod to take back to the team to hopefully get the problem fixed faster

I believe this was related to the on-going server issues as it were, based on my conversations with staff we haven't started this process just yet as we wanted to give comms ahead of time as much as we can.

Yes it has - I was booted in the middle of a slayer boss

That would likely have been related to on-going login server issues, we haven't started this process just yet until we tried to get some comms out in the duration.

Would be nice if you had warned us beforehand about this, rather than after it happens...

It hasn't happened yet, we haven't started it hence why we're getting this message out here and in-game.

Hello everyone, as you may have seen we've been having some loginserver issues which have affected some of our players.

To address this, we're going to be performing some work to fix these issues, however, please be aware this may log you out in-game, so please refrain from doing dangerous activities in-game. Once we've fixed this, we'll let you know.

Additionally, we'll send out a broadcast in-game to make sure as many people are made aware of this.


EDIT: The login issues have now been fixed, you may now resume your activities!

We should now be back to normal service!

Hey everyone,

As tweeted out by JagexSupport there is an outage on login servers at the moment.

We're currently chasing up!


15:30 game time: We're performing server work to try and fix the outage currently on-going!

15:40 game time: We should now be back to normal service!

I think there are some points worth making. Firstly, even if you say this isn't aimed at the OSRS team, they are going to still read and still be hurt by it. That is the nature of having such a passionate team.

Secondly, I don't agree with the idea of OSRS being poor value. When compared with other activities the amount of hours entertainment people get from OSRS is huge. You can easily spend a whole year's subscription going to the cinema 6 times or 2 nights out at a pub. In fact it is inline with Netflix, Nowtv and Amazon Video.

However, that is not to say some things shouldn't be improved.

What is your point of view on this?

Partnerships through events/tournaments is something we're also actively pursuing.
