It was not, also my friend having the same issue and he also didn't get the gathering shard as one of his 8.
It's unchecked in the event tab as well
Cool, starting to make sense. One last question: Do you actually get extra shards, or do you just get fireworks and a message saying "You already have unlocked the required amount of: Golden Cape Shard"?
Ah wait, you said you've gotten the message, ye, that makes sense. Will get that fixed.
Gathering shard, have gotten msg from arch and mining
Was the gathering shard one of the 8 you did for your cape, or does that show as not completed in the interface?
I'm going to look into this, that should definitely not be happening.
Which shard is it? Any more detailed info you could give me would be much appreciated :)
Can you get the gathering shard from fishing at croesus front? I've been doing it for at least 5 or 6 hours with no luck.
Yes, you definitely can. Bad luck mitigation should get you a shard pretty soon with that amount of time on the clock.
This is now hotfixed.
Currently in QA, I'll let you know when it's hotfixed. :)
Should be at some point in the next 8 hours anyway.
Is there anything special I have to do to get the jagex account linking shards? Because I have linked my account but not got the shards yet
Link the account and log in on a members world with the linked account should be all you have to do.
Is it at all possible to complete golden cape as F2P?
Event is members exclusive I'm afraid.
Can you get the support shard via training agility using silverhawk method?
Silverhawks don't work.
Does Clawdia count for the boss shard?
Only bosses that give marks of war count, so Claudia doesn't.
Do rng shards still have bad luck mitigation?
Yes! :)
To answer the questions here so far:
Yes, can confirm that you can get shards from all beach activities.
A fellow dev moved the duck to a new location for this run. Looks like it's time to go looking for it (I don't know where it is myself.)
Thank you! Glad you like it. :)
That makes sense, thanks! Will FSW be run again in 2023?
Leadership hasn't communicated any decisions regarding future FSW or similar events yet, so not sure.
Read moreu/JagexFrosch Ditto to Giveme's comment above. I've already left survey feedback, but rereleasing the same Challenger Halo would be boring and is a sure way to reduce the likelihood of people wanting to compete/participate in FSW again. Part of the excitement was due to the novelty/exclusivity of these items, so I'd strongly suggest the development team consider brand new items and abilities (I'm sure the survey data will also be informative).
I would suggest a new Challenger item, a Challenger amulet/necklace/pendant, and perhaps an entirely new item that can be earned. I think it would be fine to reintroduce the same skilling capes, and inverted master capes, and pets. I would also suggest a new version of the skilling pets, and perhaps just make the chances of unlocking the old halo pets based on chance.
Maybe, the new item replacing the Halo of Returning could be the Black Partyhat? The Halo of Returning was a cool homeage to the Di...
Thanks for the feedback! I'd imagine we'd run a survey if/when we start preparing for another run of FSW. I'll remember this comment for if/when the time comes :)
Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering what the thought process was behind the plan to make Halo of Returning discontinued and the Challenger halo being obtainable again through similar competitive periods in the future. Could you elaborate a bit on that? And understood about the possibility that those plans can be changed!
The idea was to, in the case that we regularly run FSW events, give all players a new reward to chase every time with the milestone hunt style system, while giving more players another shot at the established, more sparse competitive reward every time.
JagexFrosch, are you saying the plan is for Halo of Returning and Challenger Halo to be discontinued after this event?
In future FSW events, there will be new unique rewards then?
Hi! The plan was for the Halo of Returning and Luma to be the only exclusive/discontinued 'items' and the Challenger Halo being obtainable through similar competitive periods in the future. However, as I mentioned in another comment recently, I can't guarantee that this plan will be followed in the future, since I don't have the power to overwrite higher-up's decisions if they would like to use these items in the future in some way.
Thank you for the reply, I understand there can never be any absolutes and will keep that in mind :)
Also really had a great time on FSW. It was a refreshing way to play rs3 from the start to revisit the heights of progression once again, was sad when it ended but look forward to more game modes like this.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
