But then we'd have to make Tier 3 56 magic.

Not For-in-thry enough.

This is the way.

Trusting you that all the previous news posts provided this info in advance, and hoping this won't get me in trouble:

Ranger's workroom frames:

• Tier 1: 14 acadia

• Tier 2: 24 mahogany

• Tier 3: 42 magic

They also each require 6 stone wall segments.

Just checked the configs to confirm, and their Construction reqs are 50, 65, 80.

No comment on Necromancy. That'd definitely get me yeeted.

Imbuing is the step accelerated by Wisdom of Anima, so that's the part of the process that's tracked for the new achievements.

No need to make the dinarrows from scratch (unless you're an ironperson, living the DIY challenge).

I don't dislike either of you either(!), but I do hope you'll judge them fairly upon release (and not before).

You can buy the most expensive coffee in the world, but if you don't brew it long enough, it'll taste like water.

If Menaphos had had the development cycle we've had for Archaeology and Necromancy, or at least something in between, then maybe the (rightfully-lambasted) Menaphos quests wouldn't have turned out to be my albatross.

Death guards (main hand) are siphons (lower case 's') - it functions similarly to The Siphon (capital 's') in that it takes energy one one place and puts it in another (albeit more concentrated).

Ditto the off-hand is a conduit, not The Conduit, which connects your current location to the Underworld, so you can conjure spirits.

These are categorical terms, not item names - i.e. to conjure spirits requires a conduit; to harness necrotic energy requires a siphon. This way, we can later on have different weapons other than death guards and underworld lanterns, akin to melee weapons having maces, short swords, 2-handed swords, spears, et al.

This is correct. They are two separate fights.

I've said it this way elsewhere, so apologies if repeating myself, but...

Necromancy is a combat skill in the same way that Archaeology is a gathering skill.

Sure, at its core, it's 'just another combat skill', but the initial launch is so much more, hopefully has something for everyone.

The rex matriarch is only a Game Jam project so far, not on any release schedule yet (and certainly for for skill launch). Personally, I think it's an obvious later addition and was happy to see other devs pick it up, so do think it is highly likely to end up on the release schedule at some point.

Good luck in your journey! If you need some extra direction or assistance check out the official discord - https://discord.gg/rs

it hasn't been renamed - categorically it is a siphon, the name for the weapon is still death guard :)

I just did a speedrun to confirm, and assuming:

• you've been able to complete Unwelcome Guests (the season so far has some critical-path combat),
• have some indirect means of defeating enemies (there was one scene where deathtouched darts didn't work)
• are careful about the wilderness skeletons outside the Slayer crypt north of Fort Forinthry,

...You should be good. None of the quest's combat NPCs give combat XP on death.

The only XP I received on the critical path was some Construction XP, but that's not a concern to a level 3 combat pure.

Thank you for providing detailed feedback on this. This is a great conversation to have, especially with what we've been saying about wanting to be more reactive to feedback going forward.

In general, what you've highlighted is a need to either have more in-depth conversations on feedback like this closer to releases and/or quicker reactions based on how you are finding the experience of something we've implemented. As others have mentioned in the thread, data does also tell a story so we need time for things to 'settle in'  - but that period of settling likely doesn't need to be as long as the time some of these have taken.

The reality is, with the amount of content we're producing, developers move on to their next projects quickly to ensure we're delivering major updates on the monthly basis.

These more complex balancing tasks of high end consumables are a significant time spend for development - they need to assess data and feedback against design intent,...

I could tell you that, but then They'd have to kill me.

And I'd rather be alive so I can make more quests for you.

Nowadays you hear about future updates through the official channels of CM and Marketing, thus I need to keep schtum so reliable information is released at the appropriate time.
