Welp, thank God we'll be getting cheaper page drops from Solak and higher amount of Stone Spirits to make up for the loss. Sounds like a great fix that was totally necessary. /s

Why so quick to react or judge? You haven't even seen the changes or the impact they're going to have.

As I mentioned in my followup tweets, we're the ones with the data and we know a lot more about the behind the scenes of the economy and the effect this change will make than you do.

The grimoire pages being expensive, is due to Solak not being lucrative as a boss in it's entirety. If only a few people do the boss, which is the only source of the pages, the pages will be expensive of course.

Instead of making Solak like rots, i.e. guaranteed 1 page and 50% for 2, they just made Solak even less lucrative. Even though they are buffing base drops, the grimoire pages will go down, which might have been the main goal, and the main source of income was grimoire pages. Instead of making Solak more attractive, they just said "Fk it" and just slapped grimoire pages on slayer monsters.

I promise you... It was not a 'f*ck it' fix at all. A lot of time and effort went into looking at all the data from daily task completions of LGC + daily Solak kills + pages coming in daily/weeky/monthly.

Hopefully the on task drop rate is still substantially rare (1/500ish?).

As I mentioned in a reply above, time and effort was spent learning from the data of the tasks completed per day/week/month to come up with a solid drop rate. We'll monitor the changes with a keen eye and go from there. This is also the reason we'll be withholding the rates for the time being.

Can we get some more details on this as page prices are crashing. Most of the time at Solak we don't make more than a few mil considering several hours dry of no pages.

50 to 55 stone spirit drop or 400 to 450 battle staves still sucks. This is a punishing boss and not cheap to kill.

Will give more info in due time, as for your concerns with the drops, we looked at everything and even completely replaced battlestaves with a better more valuable drop.
