Orthen Feedback

Hotfixes

• The Moksha device no longer has a large hitbox blocking the excavations spots.
• Players logging into the game during the Roar of Osseous event will correctly receive the buff.
• The Spirit Attraction potion now also works with manifested knowledge and divine carpet dust.
• The Big Game Hunter spear issue and Tears of Guthix Archaeology issue have both been resolved.

To Do: In QA or Awaiting Release

• Add a 3rd recipe for the Holy aggroverload = Holy Overload + Aggression Potion.
• Anachronia Resource Crate and Compacted Resources will be made bankable.
• The Dragonkin artefacts are now listed by level order rather than in alphabetical order in the Make-X interface.
• Sharrigan will have dialogue giving a hint for the Evil Bob's Catspaw relic.
• Various typo fixes.
• Game Crash issues - Certain textures on items caused issues for some Intel devices.

Feedback Notes

• Potion Recipe fragments:
  • We aren't going to change the drop rate. They are what they are for a reason.
  • The solution is that the recipe themselves are tradable so if you want them quick you can buy them.

• Journal Pages:

  • There are no current plans to change the drop rate but the best idea is an interaction with the lorehound.
  • Players can obtain a journal page when they get a "success" (material) which is based upon the level of the excavation.

• Potion Recipe Locations:

  • Archaeology Potion - Varanusaur Remains (90 Arch) | Dragonkin Reliquary (96 Arch)
  • Summoning Renewal - Dragonkin Coffin (99 Arch) | Autopsy Table (101 Arch)
  • Holy Aggroverload - Experiment Workbench (102 Arch) | Aughra Remains (106 Arch)
  • Powerburst of Opportunity - Moksha Device (108 Arch) | Xolo Mine (113 Arch)
  • Spirit Attraction - Xolo Remains (119 Arch) | Saurthen Debris (120 Arch)

• Roar of Osseous:

  • It affects totem piece drops and T3 building resources.

• Augmentable Skilling Off-hands:

  • It's probably inevitable, but we want to make sure players want them as they are first.
  • We also need to decide if we should make them augmentable or make more of them for other skills first.

No Current Plans:

• Archaeology Urns
• Artefact Storage
• Relic presets.
• Adding a dig site in the Wilderness.
• More Achievements - Will probably eventually happen though.
• Adding the Archaeology skilling outfit through Steam rewards/Lootscape.

Approach

We wanted to change the way we did Holiday Events. Instead of releasing a one and done event, we will release a hub so you can skill and chill with other players. Also we can layer upon miniquests year after year for players to complete and earn rewards.

Content

• Halloween Hub - located in Draynor Manor Grounds which is accessible for Members and F2P.
  • The environment will stay after the event ends minus the Halloween themed environment (pumpkins).
• Spooky Hour - Each hour has a chance to become a spooky hour which increases XP gain while in the hub.
  • XP increase starts at 1% and is increased by 1% per miniquest completed. (Max of 5%).
• Spooky Tokens - Obtained from activities after completing a miniquest.
  • Cannot be bought.

Miniquests

• 1st Miniquest: Collect 4 fragmented souls
  
  using a Polarising crystal
  
  in various areas.
  • You will gain some Divination XP while collecting the fragmented souls.
• Miniquest Reward: Muncher
  
  - Pet/Familiar override.
