In beta worlds you should be able to yeah!

It's an in-world way of making sure the player bears the heavy burden of invading a tomb, destroying the essence of a long-buried hero and then looting his stuff with total disregard.

Also a really good point! But at least doesn't feel like I'm off-base in saying that limited Def builds training Strength aren't really a key component in the value of something like the Bludgeon

Essentially, Special Attack energy is a resource same as HP, prayer points, run energy etc.

For people just trying to kill NPCs in the Wilderness, the idea of bringing a full set of gear to 'properly' anti-PK and perhaps bringing a whole KO weapon isn't something that appeals to them. The aim with these weapons is to let those people have a slightly easier way to get some value out of their Special Attack energy (rather than just leaving it at 100%) to put themselves in at least a little more favourable position.

In the case of the Accursed Sceptre, a well-timed Spec can prevent your opponent from casting a spell like Entangle or Ice Barrage, forcing them to drink a restore and potentially catching them off-guard, giving you a little more of a window to potentially slip around terrain (or even increasing your odds at catching a freeze yourself).

For the Ursine Chainmace (whose spec we'd like to change a little), we want players to be able to g...

I'm like 80% certain that Ahrim's Robe top in general doesn't work alongside Ava's items? Could be wrong, but pretty sure that's a useless bit of trivia I have stored in my brain somewhere

Rather than replying to individual comments about it I'll drop my own and hope people see:
I understand the frustration around Akkha's orb/enrage phase (though some players seem to have given it a slightly more colourful name), have raised this to the team and will talk about it tomorrow morning to see if there are any changes we'd like to make to address some of these concerns.

Cheers for the feedback all, hope everybody's having a good week. I'll try to keep replying where possible and in cases where I think I have something useful to say!

The Speedrunning worlds are separate from maingame so they should be able to!

This one's on me, the ticket for the fix was reopened and I didn't realise it had been pushed back to next week. Will update the blog to remove this line once I get a sec, appreciate you raising!

It was bugged and not functioning as intended, so we fixed the bug!

Have passed this on, sorry that you haven't heard anything back yet, hopefully able to get this sorted for you!

We've seen a few ideas juggled around but could use more feedback in honesty. At present the run drain effect is more or less countered by a single Stamina dose. Personally think it might make more sense for it to disable run for a few ticks to give you better odds at getting gap when escaping, but it still feels a little lacklustre compared to just catching a freeze/entangle (albeit likely with higher accuracy).

If you or your pals have any ideas, drop them here!

Have put this down as a feedback point for us to discuss tomorrow morning!

There's a handful of feedback regarding it (though it's admittedly a pretty niche offering in the first place), we've not been able to get any changes made to beta but will likely make some changes before a full release. If they're significant, perhaps another beta might be something we could look at doing!

Investigation is going well, we're waiting on some extra verification of any findings before we make a formal statement.

We'd rather wait a little while and make 100% certain that we're confident in our findings than cut corners to rush a statement out for the sake of it. We understand players want answers and that it's frustrating feeling in the dark, but as a reminder the issue was fixed on the same day it was reported to us - we just want to make sure our findings are correct.

Would recommend pushing to 85 Mining at the least! And snagging yourself a pickaxe (or waiting for safe alternative methods of obtaining with the Wildy Boss Rework)

It's not me that gets stuff fixed! I'm just the monkey with the keyboard who lets you know what got fixed 1 in every 3 weeks.

I've not heard of any plans like that, though with the beautiful crowdsourcing effort put in by the Wiki team and Runelite, I'd imagine we'll likely release the 'correct' numbers soon at least.

Feels as though more of its value is tied up in its strength as a Crush weapon rather than a Str training option for accounts with limited defence? Since Dharok's (and I'm pretty sure Obsidian?) outperform it as a training option for accounts with Defence.

I could be very wrong but I think some of the recent decrease for Bludgeon is because PNM is a less desirable moneymaker, I don't think Voidwaker being on par for limited Def + 75 Att builds is likely to influence the price too heavily. Happy to be clowned on if this is a bad take, but I still don't think the Bludgeon will be in a bad place since Crush still has value (especially when the next step up that ladder is over 200m).

I've not seen many reports of this personally (and have been glued to the Dragon Slayer WR trading between Sick Nerd and Tannerdino recently). If it's something that becomes a large issue then we could perhaps do something, but it likely wouldn't be a quick & simple one, more along the lines of adjusting splashing behaviour entirely (and even then, people can still grief by chain-killing required NPCs in non-instanced areas)

Still the tick before, we've not been able to manually recreate the same behaviour as before.
