Anyone seen Rynetchis latest video about the hero item which should have come with egwd and has an idea what it could be?

I'm fairly sure Mr Osborne misspoke on livestream today, and either any planned EGWD-related hero item was cancelled, or he was thinking of Pernix's quiver, Sana's fyrtorch, or Tagga's corehammer, which are not hero items.

/u/jagexosborne you said today there was a hero item released with Elder GWD which is untrue, or there's something we don't know about. Care to clear up this confusion?

As far as I know, the last hero item was added with Archaeology, almost 2 years ago now.

I was thinking of the quiver. Apologies, I misspoke. But hero items are still very much a thing. The team loves making them and coming up with them.

The problem with hero items is they are so rare and hard to come by that most simply can't be excited for them. They are kinda like the original party hats, only something for the elite to enjoy and to hell with the rest of the community.

Better off spending that time fixing bugs and updating content like Yanille and Karamja, something the entire community can actually enjoy!

My view is that a game like RuneScape should generate pogchamp moments where somebody gets something that is borderline unique. Without those moments, we’d all have the same gear and bank, and that feels like a shame. These should be near negligible in cost to make, and we should still design hard-to-get stuff that isn’t based on RNG, but these things are still important.
