Adding set effect bonuses requires a game update and unfortunately we didn't have one last week. This should appear on the screen this week though with the game update.

Out of curiosity, since it was due to a past oversight does that mean it's something you guys would potentially do even if the poll didn't pass?

I don't see why not, though I'd consult with the team anyways just to be safe :)

Yay, thanks u/JagexAcorn. I'm curious as to why it took so long though. I told the F Mods probably over a year ago. They stated that they passed it along to J Mods. Is this another issue with the F Mods acting poorly? Or was there an internal discussion as to whether advertising websites that advertise RWT is okay over the last year or so?

Not sure I am not involved in the forums or the process really. Sorry I can't offer much insight into that unfortunately.

We do still like the idea, but we've just done pet recolours/transmogs for the past 2-3 polls (phoenix, groot, rocky, technically squirrel too) so we wanted to tone it down a bit. Don't worry, it's not off the cards, just something we chose to omit this time around.

So sorry to hijack this conversation, but any news on people who grief at corp via spec transfer to snipe kills? Tried to do a duo for a few hours last night and nearly got our kill taken every time. We tried using the private portal, but the 200k feels like a punishment for trying to play the game legit as well as it significantly slowed down our kill time because we had to wait for each other to enter in each time. Just a bummer that sigils are being farmed by toxic individuals that are too lazy to actually put in the work for a kill.

That was discussed in the last livestream. Timestamp 40:36 on YT if you're interested in hearing more.

Mod Acorn, do you or any of the mods have a favorite meme name for Jagex that we commonly use? Jiggleflax, Jambleflux etc etc

Crab rave is pretty popular in the office but it tends to be whatever meme is trending the most at the time. 🦀 JMODS RESPONDED TO THIS 🦀

Would the desert hill giants be available to f2p?

Yes as they will be in a F2P area. Hope you're prepared to take on that mighty scimitar if it passes!

Did you know that grimy torstols make normal compost and normal torstols supercompost? Probably the same for other high level herbs. I guess it from back when herbs were unid, rather than grimy. But it's a bit funky just like the snape grass

I've spoken to the developers and they said they are happy to make the grimy version into super compost too alongside the snapgrass change (if it passes a poll) and it was an oversight during the unidentified/grimy change. Thanks for pointing it out!

Can we exchange spirit saplings for seed packs as well as the spirit seeds? I'm sure plenty of people including myself have stacks of saplings not just seeds.

Clarified on blog and poll question to accept both seeds and saplings :)

Very good poll guys :')

Only thing is, the coal bag is worded a bit weirdly, could you add that it works the same way as rune pouches? I was actually about to type out that it should before I saw Oasis' comment, having misinterpreted "from the bank" as taking the coal directly from the bank, not just through the interface.

I've added that to the blog now :) Thanks!

Set effect bonuses don't show up for amulet of the damned for any barrows set. Not sure if this is intentional as it's a "set modifier" but would still be good to know so you don't have to look up each bonus on the wiki.

I've added this as feedback to be changed next game update as it's not something we can hotfix. Thanks for letting us know!

Hey /u/JagexAcorn, thank you very much for being in communication with the community, it is very much appreciated.

A very hot topic among the community is the addition of a PJ timer in single pvp area. From what I can see on this subreddit, it is one of the most recurrent complaint about the wilderness.

Is there any internal discussion at Jagex about adding one?

Best regards,

W

As far as I'm aware, and looking at emails while I was gone, it is something that was brought up internally during my holiday and is currently being discussed. As far as any actions coming out of it any time soon, I can't guarantee that. While something sounds simple in a post to implement, the team wants to look at it as a whole on what it can affect, who it affects, and weighing out the pros and cons. I am happy to update the players with the overall team's decision when there is one to communicate but unfortunately that is all I have right now. Sorry that it might not be the most helpful response but I can assure you that the topic is being discussed!
