Will we be able to trade the halos to our Ironman account? I noticed I’m not able to put an offer in on the GE, unlike the platinum nex tokens, etc.
It will be possible to trade FSW rewards to your ironman via direct player-to-player trading. :)

So Luma is completely impossible to obtain on my main account and will never be obtainable in any shape or form?
Yes, it is intended as an indicator of "This account was definitely here for FSW.", as most other rewards can be traded to players who weren't actually involved.
If I want to get Luma or the Halo of Returning on my current account is there a way to get it?
EDIT: Looks like the Halo will be Tradeable but not Luma?
Yeah, that's right!
There will be free deaths on Fresh Start Worlds that start next Monday ^^'
Thank you for the response. I appreciate that you will discuss arch with the team, as if precision or focus is not doubled (or whatever the modifier is at the time in fsw mode), arch will pretty much be normal speed which is different from any other skill. The only way that's not true is if restoration and excavation xp are doubled/multiplied, which is not how I thought they'd do it but I guess that works too. Just really hope it's not neither.
Just had a check and restoration and excavation XP are multiplied, just like every other skill :)
Hey, could you clarify if the champions halo is exclusive as well, or just the halo of returning?
I could see the champions halo coming back every time, and the halo of returning being swapped for a new reward later on.
Ah sorry, forgot to mention that! Afaik, that's the plan, yes!
So I don't actually have to take part in FWS to obtain the inverted capes, since they will be released later on?
I thought this was going to be some special kind of event where we could unlock those cosmetics for them never to be released again, just like the highscore events back in the day. It's not even special if we can get the capes through normal gameplay later on...
The plan is to bring the capes and skilling pets back in some form in the future, as many players were upset at the thought of them being exclusive. Whether that is going to be through normal gameplay or future events, I don't know yet. However, the Luma legendary pet and the halo of returning are going to be exclusive to this event.
Read moreCan you please give us an idea on how exactly you plan to do this? We have never received a concrete answer, and when it could be literally anything between "fsw every year" and "eventually release them as the 200m variant," it creates a lot of uncertainty regarding whether some goals are worth trying to go for this fsw event for those of us who play mains and are after cosmetics.
Also, I would like to ask you to make sure that the xp modifier applies to archaeology properly. On dxp in the live game, archaeology precision (faster artefacts) is doubled but focus (material speed) is not. On the main game this makes sense because you can buy materials and it's a worthwhile tradeoff. But on fsw, the focus should also be doubled so accounts don't end up having to ironman 2-4x materials for their sped up artefacts. This would make archaeology significantly worse than other skills relative to the normal XP rate. Another way to do it is to allow the modifier to apply to restoration...
Hey! Since I'm not a product manager or the like, I unfortunately can't tell you how exactly the plans for future FSW events or re-releases of FSW rewards currently look like. I'd imagine that this would partly be informed by the performance of this FSW event. Either way, that decision is above me.
In regards to arch, I'll discuss this with the team! I believe, there is currently no doubled precision or focus (I might be wrong though), but there will be a chance for doubled material gathering later in the event that will hopefully help with gathering materials. Either way, I'll discuss this with the others!
Will the inverted cape unlock token provide both the untrimmed and trimmed versions independent of how many 99s you have, or will it require the account using the token to not have obtained more than one 99 in order to get the untrimmed version?
Also, will the FSW account retain the ability to have the inverted version of the cape even if the token is traded away? Thank you for your help.
Once you use the token, the account you used it on will forever be able to buy inverted capes of that type, so you'll be able to buy trimmed versions once you've gotten your second 99.
And yeah, the FSW account will retain the ability to buy inverted capes :) So you get inverted cape buying abilities on 2 accounts (unless you trade your tokens away of course ^^)
Visual bug, currently fixing that :)
Unless anything has changed over night somehow, this is a visual glitch only that I'm currently fixing :D So they don't actually have the new pet skin unlocked.
There will be separate 99 and 120 tokens and you'll need to trade the 120 tokens to your main to get the 120 cape variants.
We are currently planning to bring the inverted capes back from time to time, since a lot of players won't be able to get all cape variants in the ~4 months that FSW will be running.
Thank you so much! You're incredible, I really appreciate your help! Just about busting at the seams now to get my hands on Fresh Start Worlds! I need someone to wipe my brain until this week is over so I can get some work done before the worlds open haha
Thank you! I'm happy to help ^^ Glad you're looking forward to it!
Thank you! I await patiently haha
Another question I'll throw in if I'm not already pushing my luck :P I was curious if Quest XP rewards were going to be altered at all during the Fresh Start Worlds! Hope you're having a great day!
EDIT: Oop, I'm a ball of questions! Sorry, little one this time. I was just wondering if it had been confirmed at all that the boon of Defense armor was going to include a full set, AKA boots / Gloves etc. Thanks again!
EDIT 2: Sorry, another! I was curious whether death costs were going to be adjusted at all for Fresh Start Worlds to allow for new players to experience bosses without as much difficulty, at least while the economy is beginning perhaps!
Hey! I had a look at referral bonuses, which will be backlogged like you speculated :)
Quest XP rewards, XP from lamps etc. won't be affected by FSW XP boosts, like during DXP.
The armour will have the common five pieces (head, torso, legs, hands, feet)!
Death costs won't be adjusted, but there will be free deaths from a certain point in the event timeline :)
Also (and I am sure i'm a minority here) this will work on mobile right?
Yes :)
Read moreHiii again, hoping I can still get some more questions answered here!
I'm aware accounts that have entered the live game cannot play on Fresh Start Worlds and you said in another reply here to Mage_Girl_91_ that you cannot prepare a character ahead of time on the customization screen. Are you however able to of logged into the lobby before? I'm worried I'll log in too early with timezone differences and brick my new account because I was too early for the lobby prompt. Am I able to utilize a new account that has not yet logged into the game, but has lobbied previously? So I'm not stuck creating another account needlessly if I jump the gun.
I'm also curious on the topic of referral bonuses if they're at all usable? (I assume not) But in the case they're not, is this something we'll have backlogged until after the 8 week competitive phase like the Treasure Hunter Keys as you mentioned in your original response.
Thanks again for the great work! Might have even...
Hey again :)
I didn't work on the lobby bits of this project, but from what the others have told me, it sounds like you can make a character and never log in, and then make them a FSW character with your first login. I'm not 100% on this though.
I'll have a look at the referral bonuses question on Tuesday next week and get back to you then ^^
With the cap being at 100 keys, it basically does not pay off to do quests after those 100 keys for the first 8 weeks. Can something be changed so you can use the keys earned from quests? Just not buy them
This has been actioned :) Unless someone comes along tells us to revert it, we've significantly increased the cap for earned keys during the competitive phase!

I'll mention this to the rest of the team!
Any new info on being able to use bonds from the main game to give FSW accounts membership?
This will be possible! You'll be able to use a bond on your main account to generate a code that you can then enter when you create your FSW account to give it membership! :)
I have a question. I have created an alt account before the reveal of FSW. I logged into it in RS3 but I never actually finished with character creation because I couldn't think of a username to use for it. Would this account be able to play in FSW since I haven't technically played RS3 with it or would I need to make a new account with one more email address?
Unfortunately, as the decision to make your account an FSW account happens in the lobby before your first ever login, you won't be able to use that account :(
