Runescape Dev Tracker

The blog will be posted today around 5pm.

Seen a couple of questions dotting around so thought I'd quickly answer a few here / poke mods for other questions you have:

How does the Imbued Pontifex ring buff Elder GWD drop rates, and does it work passively from the bank?
- It reduces the 'random' when rolling for a unique drop - e.g Instead of rolling 200/10k for a magma tempest you'll instead roll 200/9800. It works passively if you've overcharged your ring.

Does the Necklace of Salamancy work for Raksha?
- No it doesn't currently. I personally hope it gets an upgrade to allow it in the future though.

What did the newspost mean by "next update requiring Extinction"?
- IIRC this is referring to the next core pieces of content which I'm sure you'll get details about soon.

What is the drop rate on Salamancy
- Looks to be 1/500 when rolling for materials

We will post a blog today. Stay tuned.

Hey folks. There was a miscommunication here but don't fret as no one should have lost out. There was a login-check to ensure existing packs were swapped for an equal value in Portable Packs with the new values. You should notice you had more Portable Packs than you had the day before to account for this change. An an example if you had had 3 tiny and 5 normal packs before the update, you should have 18 tiny and 20 normal post-update, keeping the total 78 Skilling stations, same as before.

Thanks, I'd already read your post (you clearly put a lot of work into it!) and Mod Jack also made me aware of it when you posted it.

Quite a few suggestions on this list I already had or have added to my wish list for if I get to do a quest-list themed ninja strike in the future.

Yeah that's a really good suggestion.

It really depends on the context. My understanding of the ninja team is that the way it works is that the team choose a topic, and then they look for opportunities within that topic to fix. This lets them achieve more with the same time, because they're already learning about the design and code relevant to multiple fixes at once.

If a fix has been made, usually it will just be shipped straight away with a patch. When that doesn't happen, it's usually due to QA availability - despite the memes, we don't ship things which haven't been QAed, and some fixes can be trivial for a developer but require a massive amount of testing before they can go live.

This isn't true.

There is a broader and kinda interesting topic here about what should be a QOL fix, what should be a reward, what should be given away, what should have to be earned, etc.

Like players naturally want to see good rewards for content, but at the same time some of the best and most well designed rewards are the ones that fix real problems players are experiencing in the game. Sometimes those "rewards" get swept up and "given away" as ninja QOL fixes first, so there's less rewards available.

At the same time though, we obviously shouldn't avoid fixing problems just so we can give them away as rewards later. I find this a hard balance to maintain.

feel free to message me them directly and i'll take a look at it :)

Hi all,

We are getting prepared to our first Q&A session with the new Executive Producer, Mod Keeper. It’s a great chance to ask questions about Mod Keeper’s background, vision for the game and future updates.

The Q&A session will be streamed live on our Twitch channel on Tuesday, April 26th starting at 17:00 BST.

Between now and then, feel free to prepare for that with your questions for Mod Keeper. You can also post your questions here.

Please try to stay on a constructive side and think about this as an opportunity to be heard and bring value to the community. The time is limited, but we will try to answer as many questions as possible.

Thank you!

Hi all, not sure where best to reply to catch everyones attention, this has now been hotfixed alongside todays game update. The delay was due to the complexity of the issue and the bank holiday, appreciate your patience
