Hi. May we, please, have any updates on the development / release of the Retro Neitz Helm?
Thank you. (Question streak: 1️⃣1️⃣ weeks in a row.)
Hello! I've checked with the team, confirming the existence of the Neitz helm and I'm hoping it will be making it's way into the game before this year is out, I really want us to be able to provide the whole retro bundle together as soon as we can!
Glad that this was the outcome, and here's to hoping that the feedback from this prevents the same situation happening again. (And on that note, thanks to the community team for facilitating that feedback and actually engaging w/ the community instead of going silent)
Just doin' my job! Have a great weekend, Koala - even if you are unkoalafied.
If you mention Comp particles and combat beta worlds, we better get some dates soon....for morale
I too love using the term "for morale", it's replaced "as a treat" in my vernacular!
Yes, War's Retreat is the sole reason I turned off music in-game... /u/jagexdoom please pass on this feedback. It has come up many many times on this subreddit.
It's already been passed on, and it's on the team's radar!
When finishing them at the workbench, can the modified botanist’s mask (extra potion), botanist’s amulet (extra dose), or 3 piece flash powder factory outfit (extra dose) work? Will brooch of the gods continue to enhance the portable well’s chance to proc?
I believe ingredient savings items will not work, but increased output items will. (e.g. portable well, botanist's mask)
The wording for the T3 bench is pretty ambiguous right now. Just to collate it there are three possible ways it can be interpreted
1) The bench functions like a 120 cape, and may or may not stack with it.
2) The bench functions like a partial potion producer
3) The bench functions like a material storage or like exchanging for sets at the grand exchange, except you can actually make stuff with the ingredient sets. So basically this means you don't have to worry about inventory space for ingredients, allowing you to make 28 overloads in one go. I personally think it's this one
Would be great if a Jmod could clarify the effect.
So I've checked in with the team on this one:
At Granny Rowan, you'll get the option to make a stackable "unfinished" overload, which can take noted ingredients, for no experience. You then finish these at the Botanist's Workbench for the full experience. If there's a portable well in the room, you'll benefit from the potion duplication effects of it while using the Botanist's Workbench.
It does stack with the 120 Cape, in so much as there is a separate recipe when you DO have the 120 Skillcape that takes into consideration the ingredients reduction.
Granny Rowan will prepare Overloads and Overload Salves for you, allowing you to make them in larger quantities at the Botanist's Workbench.
120 Herblore cape be like "Am I a joke to you?"
The 120 Herblore Skillcape unlocks a new recipe which includes the 20% reduction in ingredient costs when using Granny Rowan's preparation methods:
Here's an image of how it should look!
Looks like this on the Reddit app, I can scroll it sideways but it’s only 1 line tall.
Wow, has the internet just forgotten what tables are?! That's a shame, apologies.
How does 1 person leaving cause weeks upon weeks of delays in a simple stream? I'm genuinely curious. I feel like most companies have people who are able to fill multiple roles to prevent egregious delays if someone leaves the company or gets sick, vacation, etc etc.
Well, I love doing streams as a hobby, but our studio setup is far more advanced than anything I'm familiar with, and I'd have to get my hands on the assets we use for our overlays, transitions, slates and lower thirds - it's something I want to be able to take on in the future in case of situations like this (with a single "point of failure" as it were) so we can keep a more consistent cadence.
Sorry! Looking forward to the quest though :)
No need to apologise - hope you love it!
The table for the botanists workbench doesn’t work on mobile. The content is only one character wide lol.

Looks cool! Thanks Mod Doom!
No, thank YOU!
Is this a typo? "Do not fear tho" instead of though?
Sniped this one!
but isn't that the issue? Jagex is all over the place, nothing centralized, some info given in discord other on reddit some in tweets and some in secret "content creator" only chats.
Suggestion: find a way to share conversation through multi platform at the same time or at least a summary of what was discussed.
Look at mod ryan chat with the rs guy I caught that in his stream by pure luck. that stuff was good. I'm sure mod jack discussion in discord was relevant as well, but most players will never hear/see any of it.
Well, it'd be nice to have one centralised space, for sure, but each platform offers it's own benefits. For example, Discord allows for faster communication, and themed sections for specific topics - in fact, there's a channel in the Official RuneScape Discord (it's #Social) that crossposts every comment made by a JMod (even this one!) so everyone on Discord can see everything I'm saying here.
I admit that I personally like the sporadic nature of chatting with the JMods. We're a passionate bunch, many of whom chat about RuneScape far into the night after the office has closed - we've all got a lot to say! I wouldn't want to close off those opportunities for a more centralised communication channel.
In the instance that something requires a larger announcement, we try and cross-post it everywhere we can so it's cohesive AND invites conversations for people across those spaces.
Hence why people are asking for a more centralized communication, like a stream. Right? ...
For centralised communication, a blog post is hard to beat.
As for streams, as I said at the top of the chain, in the coming weeks we'll be able to start up streams again so that'll be on the agenda, once they're a possibility.
We don't all use Discord though man. If it's somewhere in a Discord channel it may as well not exist to a chunk of us here.
Like a lot of people who don't use Reddit right?
Pips isn't very hard to get involved if he's asked, but the RS3 CM doesn't ask him, is my guess.
Y'know - I hadn't asked, as a matter of fact. I'll be sure to extend an invitation the next time we have everyone together for an occasion!
