Stat boosting's going to be a trickier one to fix, as changing whether the achievement engine checks base or boosted stats requires another engine build, and there won't be any more server-side engine releases this year.

In terms of data-side interim solutions, I can see two options, but neither of them are pretty:

  • remove stat pre-reqs from every achievement (which means you won't have the information available to know what skill level you need to complete the achievement)

  • treat all the stat prereqs as complete regardless of their actual state (which means they'd be crossed out even when your stat isn't high enough, but at least you'd be able to see what the stat prereqs are)

I'm personally not going to, no. I can't speak for what anyone else might be doing on the topic, as achievements have fully occupied my attention of late.

So should I just level up to my goals or is this issue gonna be reset to the way it was before anytime soon?

It won't be fixed Monday, I can say that much. There are no quick solutions to this one.

/u/jagex_Stu any update on this? I spent ages trying to figure out why my fletched magic shieldbow wasn't completing the elite seers achievements while using a fletching potion. Super unintuitive to the player that they can do the task but not receive credit for it.

The latest I've heard is that Mod Jenesis (the engine developer that created the achievement engine) stepped in as Mod Asherz is unavailable and has already done the engine work to fix this (ignore all skill prereqs configured on achievements so you can boost them).

So it just needs to go through the engine review and testing process, but this is quite rigorous due to all the combinations of hardware we support and exceptions this creates. (We don't update the engine nearly as often as we release game content updates.)

It's scheduled to release in the next full stack engine build which is currently early February.

Any further EDT on this? Just ran across this issue trying to boost for the 'The short of it' task.

Current estimate is still "hopefully February". It's subject to engine testing and integration as to when it releases, so there's always the possibility of delay.

Hey Stu - any update on this? Is February still hopeful? I have a number of elite areas I can tick off if I could boost!

The engine update released earlier this month. Give it another try and see how you get on. (I've heard from others they were able to claim their task rewards.)
