Irons can purchase t70 gear with oddments now... Seems like an oversight.

Just wanted to hop in and say this is being discussed by the team now. Thanks for raising this.
Looks like a good update, looking forward to burning through my clue scrolls. Shame that the fix for the Rare Item Tokens fiasco doesn't seem to have included a 20% random item discount, so as Mod Hooli said to, I'll hold on to my Oddments and wait for an answer.
That's not something we could do in order to make today's timeline, though we'll check in with the team on if that's in any of our current plans.
RuneScape Mobile full release is a big priority for 2021 and that's still very much the plan (as a note, to my knowledge, we've never mentioned Q1 2021 anywhere).
Mod Warden's Wintumber Message was our last mention about it and gives some of the context you were looking for. Find it here: https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/mod-wardens-wintumber-letter-2020#_ga=2.131484431.1480217950.1611912780-1120029573.1606728043
Essentially, we're looking to make some key improvements to make sure incoming Mobile players get a great experience and more of them stick a...
Read moreI know the TL;DWs have been coming out later than normal. Sorry about that.
For this one I tried putting in more effort into format and flesh out the passion behind this project. This will be the first stream of many to come this year covering this and I wanted to make sure I fully understood everything so I could present it properly.
Thanks for reading! 😃
The detail here is brilliant and the formatting is awesome. Great work Rubic!
As an added note, we wanted to focus on making an awesome presentation to start, but we''ll be getting an article up on the website next week that outlines a lot of what we said.
Just like the presentation, we want to get that packed full of detail.
Hi everyone!
Last night, we introduced the Player Avatar Refresh project live on stream to bring you inside the development early and get your feedback. For those of you who haven't seen the stream, you can find it here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/888882076
We've already got a bunch of great feedback so far, but we also wanted to get this thread up as a place to continue your feedback for the developers in one simple place.
Here's some suggestions on questions to consider with your feedback:
Even if you loved everything, it would be ...

Hi there ‘Scapers,
As many of you already know, we released an update yesterday that converted Rare Item Tokens into Oddments, as part of a migration of the Rare Items into the Oddments Store. When we decided to implement this change, we set out with a goal of maintaining the value of Rare Item Tokens vs the cost of Rare Items in order for there to be as little impact to you as possible.
While that ratio holds true, it's clear from your feedback that we didn't meet expectations. Frankly, we misjudged the value Rare Item Tokens held by not fully considering the opportunity cost to acquire them and we're sorry for getting this wrong.
After a thorough investigation since Monday, we have unfortunately confirmed that this is something we’re unable to resolve or change without entire server rollbacks – which would have even farther-reaching ramifications.
As an apology for this misstep, we’ll be gifting all players 15,000 extra Oddments to spend within the...
Read more External link →Could you make a newspost about what you're intending to do? I think that's the biggest thing you should take from the feedback this morning.
Make a newspost. Ahead of time.
We will be getting info onto the site for sure - we're confirming what we can do and timelines by which we can do them as soon as possible.
The idea that "the conversion ratio [] is unfortunately something we are unable to retroactively change" is utter horseshit. You have backups (or you're even more incompetent than we all think you are), pull the values from a backup and credit people's accounts an amount of oddments that isn't outright theft, and doesn't have a cap.
If it was possible, it would be the solution we'd take right now - it's clear we got the conversion ratio very wrong and this would be the best way to address that.
For this issue, it's unfortunately not feasible from a technical perspective.
Could we maybe have updates on the main page and not have to search social media for it all? No telling how much ive missed cause i refuse to make a twitter, reddit is too much social media for me as it is
We've been providing our updates in the News Post so far this week. We're going to try that as a way of keeping any post-Update updates together and see how it goes.
u/Jagexhooli can we get an explanation? Why can we still access the item you guys claim is so useless you decide to erase from the game with zero communication.
The team are looking into this, as well as how to resolve any new RITs in your inventory after this happened.
While they aren't present in the current promotion, it appears they were still available for a day until this promo expired which is where this error has happened. Thanks for alerting us to it.
In case you haven’t seen Hooli, rare items tokens weren’t removed from the game, just from the players. They are still obtainable through Vic and the rare store still exists. You guys should do a proper update before rolling something like this out, especially when it wasn’t asked for or needed.
Thanks for this - we've alerted the team.
That said, the team hear you on your feedback that Rare Item Tokens value as a prize could have been be
how is it that a purple prize(4000 rare tokens) which can usually be converted to 750 oddments or more now get devalued to 10:1 ratio? without warning either? seriously unprofessional
We definitely understand how we got this wrong. The intent was to do something beneficial for everyone involved and we missed the mark on the conversion ratio.
We're working on solidifying some plans on what we can do to make good on that fact.
> There's no new rewards for this miniquest, but you will unlock something that'll come in handy fairly shortly. What is it? We're not telling! Let the wild guesswork begin...
Anybody figure out what the unlock from Vault of Shadows is yet?
We're being vague for good reasons on this one. Having the Miniquest completed will matter later.
Just curious, would this possible solution still address the piles which have already been converted, or even already purchased rare items, since they were "devalued"? Mostly wondering since it'd surprise me if the token numbers were still stored.
We're looking into what's technically feasible at this stage for sure. We're not looking at the value of already purchased rare items in any way though, to be clear.
I want to highlight that items costing 7000 rare tokens could be purchased for 4900 if you bought a random item from the 7000 section. Same goes for the 4000, costing 2800.
I would've bought all the items at a discount if I had known this change was coming, but I now lost thousands of tokens worth because there was no communication about this change beforehand. Not to mention some items I was planning to buy are now unavailable.
We're looking into the Random Discount option as well to make sure you don't lose any value on your existing Tokens (in addition to the discussions we're having about their value as a prize vs the offered conversion ratio).
We've been working with the team this morning with regards to your feedback on both value and item availability.
For those of you who don't know, the new Rares above are available now in the Oddments Store. All Rares are priced at the same 10:1 ratio as Oddments – so a Rare that was previously 7000 Rare Item Tokens will now be 700 Oddments. If you were saving up for a Rare Item, you haven't lost any direct value in the conversion.
That said, the team hear you on your feedback that Rare Item Tokens value as a prize could have been better reflected in the conversion ratio. We're actively discussing this and looking at potential solutions to address this.
We will also be looking to bring the Limited and Current rares in a future Game Update - we've yet to confirm next week, but we are aiming for sooner rather than later.
Thanks for your continued feedback and we'll let you know as soon as we have a further information to share on both changes above.
... Read moreI've previously done that Mini quest, so i just had to talk to Dr Nabanik and it was Auto completed. But it didn't mention anything or give me anything at all. :) Would love it if a jmod could clarify!
Excellent update nonetheless!
That is intended. We have to be vague on this one for reasons that will become clear later.
