Why is this poll on reddit? It should be polled in game or at least on the main website. Reddit is a subsection of the player base.
It's on every platform we can host a poll on - Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, even Emails! Implementing an in-game poll would add at least a week, if not more, to the process of getting this question out to players and we wanted to give players the opportunity to cast their vote on this so we can more quickly direct the artists on where they should be looking.
Tired of mentioning it but...golden bamboo?
Update: Over the last couple days, I recovered a pre-grove stream from backup and ran a series of time trial and XP trials vs golden bamboo in live, and worked closely with Mod Shogun to determine a balanced solution.
Following the recommendations below, I used low-intensity methods that focused on equipment that increases chop success (nature's sentinel, ring of whispers, Sana's fyrtorch, legendary Lumberjack aura, etc) as a baseline.
Confirmed that the base XP to gather golden bamboo definitely didn't change with the rework (655.5 XP per successful chop), but on average the time to specifically deplete golden bamboo became slower when converted to the new chop chance formula.
(On average, about 20 minutes pre-rework to deplete a golden bamboo, versus 30 minutes in live, minimal intensity.)
Bearing in mind that the optimal use case is to deplete a daily triple bamboo island in an hour or less (to maximise the value of 60min Lumberjack aura), we've ...
Read moreOkay hear me out, we have to chop down a christmas tree, fletch a spear, and kill the reindeer with hunting that harass rudolph, we then craft a sleigh to slayer an undead heat meiser, when we get there the sleigh breaks and we smith new hooks for the reins and rune craft the power for the sleigh then we use agility to deliver all the gifts in a night and when we're done we hang the head of our dead foe in our house using construction.
Once you have completed the entire quest you have to complete a captcha on a black screen and you wake up with a sleeping bag at your feet as your rare item.
In short, bring back old school sleeping bags.
wtf
Update: Granny Rowan is back to her usual self, and the "Prepare Potions" option has been re-enabled!
Annoyingly, we had a great up-and-coming new writer who was passionate about gnomes, and I feel sure she was going to push for the gnome series to be continued (she was actually preparing a pitch and asking players how essential access to the city was)... And then players decided one of her quests (Extinction) was somehow the worst thing ever and literally bullied her out of Jagex. We lost our one chance of gnome continuation because of that. :/ She was an RS player and everything.
👀
sure ya can, i'll DM you the full deets.
edit: send through my RSN + IP in DMS, alongside my neighbours who've with I was able to replicate this issue
The team have had a little investigation (thank you for getting in touch) and we've found out that it's something to do with our provider for those servers, and how your ISP connects to those.
We've raised a ticket to our server provider, about your ISP and the issues there, but we'd also advise you to reach out to your ISP as well. Seems like there may be an outage somewhere in the chain between the server and your ISP which may be causing the impact to performance, so we've flagged it to them and hopefully they can get it fixed overnight for you!
The only reason trollheim is so unpopular is because its so goddamn confusing to navigate hence noone uses it so noone wants it reworked
But, then think of the potential! Streamlined, gorgeous, troll-tastic!

We're looking to overhaul the visuals of an area of Gielinor, but we want to hear from you!
Which of the highlighted areas should we update? We're putting this question out across a range of our platforms, and we'll collate the responses. We'll confirm the winning area next week!
Let us know your preference out of these three:

But we have no news on the Halloween update 😞 I need news so I can get hyped for spooky season
Keep your eyes peeled this week, Blackbeard... 👀
Why is everyone acting like they have amnesia in this quest? We can literally just teleport off the island. Lodestone teleport to the fort.
What a dumb oversight in writing.
You can teleport, but you'd leave poor, innocent Bill Jr. in the freezing cold ruins of Ungael?! After he fought so valiantly to defend you from Zemouregal's hordes?
Hey Mod Doom I don't suppose I can send you a PM regarding strange activity taken on my account by a JMod?
Drop me a message, sure!
u/JagexDoom any comments on this
- have fun until patched
- dont use it or game explodes
- free for everyone, enjoy
- BANHAMER
- none of above
- its 2AM, leave me alone
It was 2:33AM, indeed, but:
It is a bug and we're hoping to fix it soon - I'd advise against wearing it before an update, just in case.
Besides, it's October. Have some decorum, this month is sacred! 🎃🧛🏻👻
You weren't around when the AC broke and jagex couldn't host a live stream on that day. The memories...
Ayiza and I were lightly stewed under the studio lights during the Golden Gnomes, I can't lie! That madman wore a waistcoat, too.
Making the cape more flat would be a big one for me. The reason I ever got trim in the first place was because trim being flat looked so clean over the regular comp sticking out.
Say no more, fam
I hope that the heat's finally been turned down at the office now that HP has been shelved.
Fun fact, the office is actually very chilly, the AC keeps the place a nice cool temperature even in the baking heat!
Hello, u/JagexDoom , I've come to bargain
Any news on rerunning Sleigher and Cheer Hunter outfits this year?
These were on the list of "Things we'd love to see returned" I circulated with the team earlier this year, I'll flag them again with the team when I can just in case. Thanks for the nudge.
We're currently deploying a fix for Ungael appearing in various areas incorrectly, we're aiming to reboot at 10:45 game time (11:45am UK time) - Mod Easty
Read moreJust had a chat with Mod Shogun to check the situation with golden bamboo.
Woodcutters' Grove included a backend rewrite of Woodcutting, to consolidate a lot of custom tree implementations and rebalance Woodcutting across a more consistent set of tiers, similar to the Mining rework's retiering.
We've heard concerns with the new XP rates for golden bamboo, stating that they have been halved from what was previously possible.
Reported previous XP/hr is difficult to confirm as it's quite variable - some stating a change of 400kph down to 200kph; others stating 2m down to 1m.
The base rates for golden bamboo were increased in the rebalance, but the variety of buffs that can be stacked could significantly influence the results depending on how they're combined.
His theory is that one of the items, boosts or manual techniques (such as applying crystallise) that players can use to increase their Woodcutting XP is under-performing, and that is reduci...
Thanks for the extra context below, folks. Sounds like though the XP/success is the same, you're missing more often post-rework, therefore leading to slower depletion rates and XP/hour, despite golden bamboo having the same input data.
Will take a closer look at golden bamboo's unusually broad success ratio, and see how it performs in a time trial if brought closer to standard variance. Also really helpful to know your setups, thank you!
