It appears that the world you were playing on unfortunately crashed rather than us manually rolling back the server.
I know it doesn't do anything for your situation, and I am really sad to see this, but if you got the pet just before that happened, it wouldn't have registered as you actually getting the pet :(
With all due respect Ayiza, this solution is not fair at all. This is a huge buff to clue completion rates for US, while barely improving them at all for TS. Please consider giving TS an additional buff to narrow this gap; the reasoning of "we don't want to rebalance relics mid-league" does not apply here as you've already broken that rule by making clue juggling redundant.
It's by no means a perfect solution, but comparing what is possible currently vs what is possible after the change, this seems to be the least impactful overall whilst still improving the player experience for everyone.
I'm sorry we couldn't do more without causing further issues :(

A lot of the solutions relied on changing Relics or adding new features, whereas this just removed the requirement to juggle which everyone has the ability to do regardless of which Relic was chosen.
It's by no means perfect but seemed to be the fairest option with the least impact on what is currently possible vs what will be possible after the update.
How is removal of juggling fair to those who picked TS so they can complete clues by juggling?
There are only two “fair” options imo. 1) don’t change clues or 2) if you must change, give both relics to everyone (this is admittedly less fair, but still a compromise).
After lots of discussion, we decided that seeing as everyone has the ability to juggle clues before the change regardless of which Relic you picked, this was the least impactful to what is currently possible within the League vs what will be possible after the change.
I'm sorry we couldn't combine the two Relics. It really wasn't an easy call to make.
Should’ve just stuck to your guns and said no major changes. Our bad for balancing clues the way we did. We’ll take all your feedback into account for future leagues.
Horrible precedent to make large changes in a temporary game mode due to complaints from people on one side of an issue.
After a lot of discussion, and I mean a lot, we determined this was the fairest solution seeing as all players are currently able to juggle clues regardless of which Relic they chose, it's just that it's not a great experience having to do it.
We'll be doing our best to avoid situations like this in future Leagues that's for sure.
How does this interact with clues already in inventory? If I have a clue in my bank with 1 step completed and then the update goes live tomorrow, can I drop that clue and have the step still be completed?
Yep, any clue steps you have before the change will be stored after the change and count towards your next casket.
Thanks, looking forward to having fun with clues again! You guys do a lot and sometimes have to make hard decisions that not everyone will 100% love, so just though I'd say I appreciate the effort! :)
Good luck with your clues and thank you!
I wish it was the first proposal that just area locked clues, but this beats how it is right now by miles, very welcome update.
I don't think we'll be making the same mistake for the next League, but the removal of juggling seemed to be the fairest solution in what has been a really difficult decision to make.
Call me a geeza but we've had like 5x more blogposts & communication since ayiza rejoined
I've been kept busy that's for sure :D
This link doesn't seem to be working for me. The in game announcement link didn't work either.
edit: works now
Might have been traffic related as I posted this here just as I sent the in-game broadcast. Glad it's working now though!
Sorry for the delay in getting more info regarding this, hopefully you won't need to wait too much longer
That's how the female head model currently looks in-game...
Seems like there's room for improvement!
If you want a feel for how Ironman is without having to dedicate the time to getting your account end-game viable, definitely try out the Trailblazer League. I'd honestly say because you've played RuneScape already, Ironman would probably a good choice, but it will take time to get there.
Omg Mod Ayiza much appreciated & thanks for the work you’re doing with the community! Excited for future updates.
Me too! We have some really exciting stuff coming up that I've started working on, really looking forward to sharing it with you all <3
God, classic Ayiza commenting on absolutely random posts. Missed ya bud, big time.
I needed a break from all the League clue feedback and what better way to do that than celebrate someone's achievements :D it's good to be back! <3
More Butlers !
I really like POH cosmetics as rewards. I think they’re fun, and there simply aren’t many butlers to choose from.
Let us get some staples - a retired Varrock Guard, a Pest Control Squire, an Ankou, The Drunken Dwarf, one of those thick Vampire Noble women, whatever.
See attached: https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/hctcca/suggestion_demon_butler_has_had_his_time_its_time/
Edit: for clarity, they’d have the same capabilities of the demon butler, just a new look and new voice lines for flavor.
I really like this a lot, but feel like maybe it's better suited elsewhere? Perhaps a new quest could introduce some new characters? An extension on mahogany homes or something.
Bookmarked your suggestion regardless for future rewards ideas, thank you!
Depends how the Achievement reward system is structured. If it's going to dish out rewards in a structure similar to existing diaries for each tier completion and not on a per task basis then I would recommend boss slayer tickets. They would be consumed on use to not make them OP and keeps them limited. It should require having "like a boss" unlocked via a slayer master and by redeeming it would guarantee your next slayer task will be a boss task. The boss task received would still be randomized as to not cause unnecessary crowding by players selecting preferred bosses to farm. At the end of the day rewards for achievements should not be something crazy op or necessary for an account but more a bonus to incentivize people to try out combat achievements and not make it a necessary grind.
What happens when you've done all the achievements, would it be possible to get more tickets or do you work with what you have and enjoy the temporary benefit of them?

Cosmetics
- Elite Void - Blood red for ToB?
- BP - Magma and green re-colors. Mutagen for the Magma has been asked for but no way around the BP already being Tanzanite so maybe sacrificing any mutagen unlocks the ability to toggle any of the three colors
- DHCB - with Vork/KBD Head, maybe add Hydra and Olm too
- DHL - with Vork/KBD Head, maybe add Hydra and Olm too
- Barrows - Ability to turn ghostly robes into the classic Barrows pink
- Gauntlet - Ability to keep the blue color when upgrading the Blade to a corrupted Blade. I just think the classic crystal blue looks way, way better.
- Gauntlet - Ability to re-color the Crystal Armor/Bow to red for those who disagree with me.
- Jad - Unlock access to a hard-mode with a Blue/Karuulm skin that gives the option for re-color to that blue. Put triple Jad at the end? Tie the lore into Mount Karuulm somehow. Unlock a mini-quest that explains the ...
Wow, such a long list! Thank you, some great stuff in here. I'm a big fan of the cosmetics especially, always good to show off with too haha
Read morethe ability to create instances in otherwise non-instanced bosses.
cheaper item retrieval services (maybe free at elite)
noted drops from bosses/monsters in areas you've already completed the elite diary for (like noted drops from obor if you have the elite varrock diary)
greater drop chance for the giant keys and ecumenical keys
a restoration pool near a teleport (like the one in the ferox enclave)
the ability to challenge slayer bosses without a slayer task a number of times per day
the ability to send your butler to retrieve items from an item retrieval service for you?
the ability to make "taunt tablets" that work like normal tele tablets except they reset your aggro timer.
the ability to make "peace tablets" that work like normal tele tablets except they make monsters unaggressive towards you for a duration
the ability to "upgrade" dragonstone jewellery to function as rechargeable versions of other telepo...
Some interesting suggestions here, thank you for providing so many!
