Runescape Dev Tracker

It's entirely dependent on the creation date of your account.

if your account creation date is earlier than 8th March 2004, resetting your Constitution sets it to 1,000.0 XP, instead of the usual minimum of 1,154 XP. (Applies to both the major Constitution & Prayer reset and minor Constitution reset.)

Now that you mention it, we have noticed maturity on your account...

Thank you! It's wonderful that even though you're not a skill pure, you have a use case for this update! That's not a need I'd thought of, but makes a lot of sense!

By the way, while we're chatting, thanks so much for the detailed, thoughtful and often positive messages I regularly see you post on Reddit.

I've often seen you go out of your way to help players, especially with questions around lore and timeline order and the like. I very much appreciate it!

I loaded your account into a test environment to see what's up.

Looks like the option to clear your request is only available during that 7 day wait, but once you have waited it out, there's an option to clear your request, after you've chosen the type of reset you want.

Looks like you need to:

a] set a bank pin (was added as a security measure for resets, due to clearing the option to never be able to reset) using the bank pan icon near the bottom-right corner of your bank interface

b] Talk to Nastroth and choose the "Let's talk about skill resets" option

c] Choose either a Defence (major) or One skill of my choice (minor) reset (your skills are too high to qualify for the Constitution & Prayer (major) reset)

d] You'll then get the option to either continue with your reset or "No, I want to forget about this". Choose the latter option and you won't be bothered by your pending request any more. :)

From today, a bank pin's requ...

I'm glad it brought you back. Happy 'Scaping!

If the XP in the skill you want to reset is greater than or equal to this value:

• 2,745.0 XP for Constitution
• 13,604.0 XP for an elite skill (currently only Invention - also requires completion of the Invention tutorial and 80 Divination, Smithing, Crafting to select)
• 1,357.0 XP for other skills

...Nastroth is unable to offer a minor reset in that skill.

Otherwise, yes.

Bear in mind that resets, major and minor, share a 180 day cooldown, though. Since major resets are going to be removed in about 180 days to prevent issues with them being repeatedly used, if you do a minor reset, you'll have to wait 180 days before your next reset, so you likely won't have time to do a major reset before they're removed.

When you block a skill, the procedure that gives XP aborts early before it gets to do anything. This includes giving XP and giving bonus XP.

For reward XP, looks like that also includes blocking:

• the level cap message when F2P has gained XP in a level 5 members skill
• sending XP milestones to the adventurer's log, RuneMetrics, virtual levelling, the broadcast for 0.5 and 1 billion XP
• progress towards XP target you might have set from the skills interface

For activity XP (defeating an enemy in combat, etc), looks like that also includes blocking:

As above, plus blocks:

• refer a friend bonus XP
• global XP buffs (eg Wise perk, Bik god book, Yak track XP bonus)
• Explorer's, festive, salvation, illumination, desert pantheon, hellion, jack of trades, prime and wisdom aura, double XP
• recording XP progress in clan cup and challenge gems
• items that increase XP - brawling gloves, puls...

Since there are new features and some folks who had asked Nastroth to remove the option to reset wanted to use them, I've removed that permanent disable feature so players can access Nastroth's revised services.

Note that resets now require a bank pin to request and activate a reset for increased security, in addition to all the previous safety checks, 7 day wait to activate a reset, etc.

• "Doesn't exceed level 10" means a skill can be reset so long as the level hasn't hit 11, right? Or is having 1155 xp (which is more than enough to hit level 10, but not enough to hit level 11) enough to prevent resets?

It's intended to be one step away from the maximum XP you can have in a skill before ticking over to level 11 (or level 16 for Constitution).

If your XP is greater than or equal to this value:

• 2,745.0 XP for Constitution
• 13,604.0 XP for an elite skill (currently only Invention - also requires completion of the Invention tutorial and 80 Divination, Smithing, Crafting to select)
• 1,357.0 XP for other skills

...Nastroth is unable to offer a minor reset in that skill.

• Are resets available in free-to-play, or are they members only?

...

Righto, I did a bit more investigation into your specific case.

On Monday, you won't be able to do a major Constitution & Prayer reset since you don't currently meet the requirements. ("Players looking to reset Constitution and Prayer must have level 5 or lower in Attack, Strength, Defence, Ranged, Magic and Summoning, while players looking to reset Defence must have a total level of 10 or more in Attack, Strength, Magic, and Ranged.")

You could do a minor reset of one of those combat skills that's higher than 5, but you'd have to wait 180 days between resets.

However, Nastroth's two major resets are being removed in about 6 months to avoid exploits from re-using them. Which means that you wouldn't get to do your major reset before they're removed.

I've had a chat with some players from the pure community for advice to consider the options; we concluded the safest and simplest approach would be to raise the Constitution & Prayer's requirement from le...

I'm honestly not certain why the Essence of Finality has a 10 Constitution requirement. I'd have to check with the developers involved.

I've scheduled a message to the combat council on Monday passing on Mionee_rs's and ProBro_1137's enquiries about the Essence of Finality, as it's the council's call to make.

The tricky part with 9 hp accounts is once you level your hp, we have no way of knowing that you previously had lower than the current minimum Constitution XP. The evidence has been erased, so to speak, by you now being 10 hp +.

From what I've been given to understand, 9 hp accounts were created in the transition from Classic to RS2 on 8th March 2004. That's the only point of reference we have is your account is now over-levelled.

So how I've handled it is that *if your account creation is earlier than 8th March 2004, resetting your Constitution sets it to 1,000.0 XP*, instead of the usual minimum of 1,154 XP. (Applies to both the major Constitution & Prayer reset and minor Constitution reset.)

Resetting Constitution consequently may create 9 hp accounts that weren't active for that transition, or if your account is newer than that and somehow got 9 hp through some other event, then you'd be reset to 10 hp.

I'd be happy to tweak the logic further if ...

I did the dev work for this two Christmases ago, and my memory isn't the best, but if I remember rightly the requirement will be expressed in the combat section of the quest overview, when describing the spells you need to be able to cast on Chronozon. Might've also been in the required items listing the needed runes and magic weapon.
