Thanks for the reply. I do agree that there is room for early game content, but I think part of the issue is that skilling has had a major lack of endgame and challenging content and this is only the third skilling boss the game has seen. So while there may be room for this type of content, it can feel off to strengthen the mid-game of a skill that is lacking in the endgame.

Also, I think you rejoined the team since the initial blog, but I remember one of the issues was that it didn't offer much for the endgame and it does offer some scaling now. So if that can be done for exp, it could also be done for profit too. Perhaps it could even be at lower levels it is more about exp and less about profit, but then at higher levels it is more about profit with the exp not changing much from the mid-levels.

Overall though it does feel like the team keeps pushing a mid-level fishing update as the first fishing boss when that may not be what the community or the skill needs. T...

You raise a fair point, it would be a shame to have to wait years for something really challenging to come out. I'm going to ask about a challenge mode for it :D I don't think tacking challenge mode onto everything is a good move, but it definitely does present a great way to have the same content be available to both new and veteran players!

The boss fight sounds fine. The only part I dislike is the "fun and sociable way to train Fishing". Skilling rarely sees Bosses, yet the majority of them are just glorified training methods. Can you imagine how disappointed if there was hype for a new PvM boss just for it to be a "fun and sociable way to train"?

While skills do have more room for new training methods, most skills need challenging content instead. Bosses should be more difficult and more dangerous methods you do for rewards, not sociable training activities. If a Fishing Boss isn't where we get challenging and rewarding fishing content, then when? It is tiring that nearly every PvM update is focused around new profitable challenges yet when it comes to skilling the focus is always about Exp and training. Skilling will never compete with PvM if we only get new ways to train it while PvM gets new ways to profit.

As for the rewards, most seem unchanged and they are still fine. Though I think the Tome of...

Really good points raised here, thanks as always. Can't respond to much without talking to the rest of the team but I wanted to give my opinion on the whole skilling boss bit.

I don't want to see skilling content go down a route of being purely fun, or just similar to minigames with an emphasis on social activity, but I can understand why Tempoross is being pitched that way.

It's not meant to be competing with end game content, it's not designed for end game players. It's meant to be a more fun way to train fishing and is specifically targeting a certain group of players (35-70 Fishing).

I think trying to make it a super profitable boss that was more about the challenge and reward just wouldn't work for those levels. Most players at that point have never killed a boss. Content like this can act as a perfect introduction to learning different mechanics, getting used to reacting to things and being rewarded for playing better.

I absolutely believe we ...

Really awesome take on how it would look! I'm not against it being different from the normal Slayer helm designs, it's kinda cool even if it is a big change.

I didn't even know these existed... What other secrets are the team keeping from me??

I'm assuming you have to get anglers before you can get the outfit? Why not also add anglers to the shop like you did with molch aerial fishing. Make it a reasonable grind, but seems kind of silly not to have the regular anglers in there.

Inb4 "i suffered on trawler so should you" comments come though. I have my angler on my main and my ironman. Why not add it for future players

You do yes. Do you think with the proposed Fishing Trawler changes it won't be as bad of a grind?

/u/JagexAyiza please poll this separately. Using snare rather than entangle for the example is dishonest. Combined with swampbark this makes normal bindings last significant longer than ancients, while also having access to teleblock and the harmonized staff.

How is it dishonest out of interest? I didn't even consider it being that way, its just Snare was an easy example given it rounds nicely lol

Does this boss have a specific pet or will it just roll a chance for the heron pet? If so, what is the drop rate for the pet here?

There is a pet yes. I was originally asked to remove it from the blog, but I'll be putting it back in tomorrow :)

So I opened it up again to take a screenshot comparison to a past blog and it is now it's normal size and readability.

Then I remembered I came originally from instagram and there it was noticeably smaller.

I'm no expert but I gather when linked from instagram it opens up the desktop version despite being on mobile, and through the Reddit app I use it opens correctly. Most likely way more my problem than yours thought lol.

Hope this makes sense!

Oh wow, that's really interesting to know! I wonder if we can force how it opens based on the link we use? One to think about now you've said it, thank you for letting me know and getting back to me!

It looks so cool doesn't it! I'll definitely be farming for it if it passes!

Taken from the end of the blog :)

Players will also lose 2-4 raw Harpoonfish, 2-4 cooked Harpoonfish and a random tool (hammer, rope, lighting rod or empty/full bucket.

Thanks for spotting, I'll get that changed tomorrow!

I'll add mention of the pet into the blog tomorrow!

- like have a spot that picks up reward crates and stores them, so they dont go in inventory each kc you do.

I'd assume it would be possible? I don't see why not anyway! I'll pop it into the backlog for future polls :)
