Can we hire a kid to smuggle in/out our pickaxe for like 10k gp.

Can we add a deposit wall slot in TOA lobby to store equipment and supplies no longer needed. Possibly paying the kid to transport them to our bank camel.

Hey, I saw you post this in the game update post last week. I brought it to the devs in our game update review. Generally we understand the convenience factor here but it was considered that you'd only shave off a few seconds of time here and overall the time cost to implement this doesn't provide enough benefit for the player in this instance. A good suggestion, but not something we felt should follow up on

  1. Is there any way spirit flakes could be made tradeable? I know there's concern about it being an upgrade item for spirit angler gear, but what about converting the flakes to a different item? IE "Infused fishing bait."

  2. I remember months back, asking if the Woodcutting Cape could get a guild teleport, with the team having (seemingly) no issues with it. With it being such a simple change, will that be added any time soon?

  3. It's be nice that, if something wasn't talked about during the stream, and it -did- go mentioned to the team for an internal meeting, if players were alerted somehow. (Even if I don't know the answer, it'd be nice to know my post was noticed.) Probably a lot to ask, but just a thought.

Sidenote, suggestion streams sound fantastic, but I really hope that they're handled a bit better than other "suggestion" streams have been in the past. IE: Talking about an issue, or the team saying they like the suggestion,...

Hey, I would love to provide updates to players about what suggestions are greenlit on a weekly basis. It's not something I can promise will happen soon but it's on my mind. Potentially as a weekly section in game update posts, but I can't guarantee this happens every single week and I also can't guarantee I can give reasoning for every suggestion we come across. I'd need to also factor it into my workload to manage but if the community feel like this is something important then I'll try to bump this up in prio.

Speed-running Feedback: u/JagexLight please figure out how to make door actions non-blocking for other players. Too many players trying the same quest at once is very annoying to deal with; I came across this issue while trying to do the oil-can portion of Earnest the Chicken especially.

The Ernest one was hotfixed, can you let me know if any other doors have this issue? They should have all been patched to deal with this issue, however, some doors use different code so they may have to been manually updated.

I've been wanting the ability to repeat quests since 2007 (not specifically as a speedrun, but I don't think there's a fail time with any of these so you can technically do them at any pace). And I like speedrunning as a concept, although I have never considered it on RS just because having to create + level + bond a new account every time I want to attempt a quest seems ridiculously boring.

Speedrunning on RS is a fairly niche community, but I think it's also limited by the fact you need to start a new account each time you do a quest, which is incredibly tedious. So Jagex may be appealing to a small group of players, but it has the potential to appeal to a much wider set of players who would find quest speedrunning fun but are put off by how much time it takes to set up an account to Song of the Elves, for example. Now you don't have to do all that preparation, meaning all of the people like me actually now have the ability to do so without any effort. Also, I ca...

This is a great explanation honestly, thanks for this!

Hey everyone! We'll be live tomorrow on Thursday 13th October for Quest-Speedrunning-themed Q&A with Mods Ayiza, Ed, Kieren, Goblin and Roq!*

Do you have questions for the team? Ask away! We'll be live at 17:00 BST on Twitch.

- Questions about Quest Speedrunning are preferred, as we have Mod Ed on this week who worked directly on this week's game update.
- Feedback about Quest Speedrunning is also welcome. I'll be having a meeting tomorrow to review feedback and send it directly to the devs. Tag me with your feedback!
- Questions about general topics are also welcome! ❤
- Player suggestions are not the preference to cover on the Q&A, BUT any suggestions you post here can be reviewed and covered in our internal meetings.**

So what would you like to know?

*Guests not 100% confirmed but that's what it's looking like.
** The Bee change ...

Hey Roy thanks for clarifying which phase this happens in. I've seen a couple of reports of this so I'm sending it over to our team for investigation. Any further details to assist us in this would be much appreciated! :) It seems like this may be an unintentional change as a result of the engine update we made.

Hi Mod Light, was it intentional in this update that follow stalling no longer works at Nex? Its no longer possible.

Hey, it probably was unintentional if it's not in the patch notes! I am happy to bring this up to the team, it sounds like it could be related to the engine changes today. Can you give me details on where this happens and what the expected behaviour is, also what is happening now? I can pass it directly to QA and add it to the changelog table at the top of the post once we have confirmed it.

Would need someone else to confirm but I think this update has 'patched' or broken the Bandos red X method. Seem to get smacked once every two rotations now.

Hey, we're looking into this as this sounds like something that unintentionally got changed alongside our engine changes. Can you give me as many details as possible on the expected behaviour before the update, and what has changed specifically following the update? The team may struggle to reproduce the exact method/behaviour but we're keen to ensure this is investigated

Hey, I raised this to the team cause I thought it would be related to an engine update.

This is a known issue that we can't really fix. Fun fact, this actually happens with every update. It should resolve itself. The reason? Apparently it's literally "spaghetti code". Like, a modern mystery in the game that nobody can be bothered to find out but probably could if we really tried/cared enough.

Fun fact 2 - Something weird also happens with the imps in Puro Puro after every game update. They're actually supposed to take away your implings from you and free them from your inventory. They do that after a game reboot after 5 minutes but then they just like give up. So imp repellant is like a dead item now because it doesn't have any use since the imps stop working as intended.

Is this intentional? It's not mentioned in the changes and fixes section.

Is mobile down for everyone else?

Hey, I've seen a couple of reports of this. Can you try heading to the Google PlayStore/ App store and updating the client? It may not have automatically updated for you. Let me know if this doesn't fix it.

Can we please have the task helper on mobile prioritised higher? Was only broken 2 weeks ago and I’m a little curious as to what broke it and why its been difficult to fix when it effects so many players.

I just checked with a dev who is working on the enhanced client. The issue where text can get cut off with Helpers on mobile is being worked on by a dev at this very moment! I don't know when the fix will be added to the game, though, but he's come back from holiday today and I'll make him aware of the main issues you've kindly brought up to me.

Any eta on the next general content poll or the wildy boss poll?

Poll 77 is in its final stages, we expect to have the poll blog soon (by the end of the month is the best ETA I have).

That's fantastic news, but my monkey brain now registers this update as being delayed until next month. Looking forward to it, but still disappointed.

I hear you. I can only assume it was done in this way to ensure the QSR maintains a level of replayability. If players solely grinded it on launch day to obtain one outfit then when they get it, it becomes dead. So, rewards may have been designed this way to maintain engagement and replayability of the content. I understand that you want the outfit now though, and feel annoyed by having to wait longer for it. I'll pass that on. But trust me it'll feel good when you actually do get it to know that you worked hard for it, saved up your points and got what you wanted. 8)

It looks really pretty in-game!
