So I probably simplified it too much in the Newspost, I have a better way of explaining the issue here from the wonderful Mod Arcane:

In certain pieces of PvM content like Nightmare, the Harmonised Staff is worth using because other spellbooks were not as useful. Sang staff is a one of our best staves, lets pretend its damage is 10 . Harmonised staff is even better damage, lets say its 11. But now Thralls offer quite a lot of damage at most pieces of content now, lets say damage is 2.

Because you can use sang and thralls together, and you can't use harm + thralls together, that means generally now its better to just use sang + thralls (12) instead of using harm at 11. Although the Harmonised Staff is still technically a better magic weapon, because you can't use thralls with them it suffers in viability and some players feel it's dead content at Nightmare where it was used a lot.

We'd like to invite players to consider what we should change to preserve the u...

That's strange I'll pass it on to QA when we review. Thanks for the info!

Interesting idea and one that we have briefly considered when it came to discussing feedback today. We came to the agreement that adding a cooldown for Prayer XP feels a little bit strange - it's not something we've really done before, feels a little forced. Plus the benefits of the Ash Sanctifier have already received feedback that it might be too strong. We're open to what the community thinks, and we'll use this post to review further player feedback on it.

Could you offer a bit more detail as to why the attack range makes it less viable? What would you suggest we change?

Yeah. Although most players I've seen feel it is absolutely fine, we admit we didn't make it clear enough in the blog and so we would feel more comfortable re-polling it to preserve the integrity of the polling system.

We'll do better in future to communicate XP rates when they interact with other items ingame.

Hey guys, thanks for such a great response to AKD! It was great looking over your feedback and hearing how you found it. :)

We've discused some of your initial feedback this morning and updated the Newspost with some of the most relevant changes and issues. Take a look and let us know what you think, it's in the table at the top of the Newspost.

We'd like to invite you to give us further feedback, particularly around the Harmonsied Staff and Arceuus Spells, so that we can improve accordingly. Please let us know your suggestions in this post and we will review as a team.

Thank you guys for raising this. It's been brought to the attention of our team and we're implementing a hotfix now.

Thanks, we've got this noted to fix next week.

I'm not specifically aware of changes, however we know that a change was made Engine side which may have unintentionally affected certain areas of the game. I'll bring it up with the team tomorrow and see whether this is related - and get more info for you. Thanks for raising.

Thanks for raising this to us, it's noted. After our team meeting tomorrow we'll be at a good place to decide on whether this can be hotfixed. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Thank you! I'll bring it up tomorrow and will push for that to get changed to fit what the blog says. Sorry for adding to the confusion! D: Thanks for raising it.

Ah yep, you're completely right. Thanks for letting me know, we'll rectify this after our game update review tomorrow <3

Ah thank you! That helps so much. Okay, so it looks like this should be changed to fit the Blog. I'll bring this up tomorrow, then we'll clarify in the Blog and make appropriate changes. Much appreciated.

Thanks for raising this to us, how odd! It'll be fixed by next week :)

Due to the remapping involved in this week's game update, your character may have been placed in a different area than where you last logged off.

Thanks for raising this to us, we'll note it as a point of feedback and we'll be discussing improvements tomorrow as a team.

This was an oversight in the Blog, it has now been changed. Thank you for raising it to us!

Won't know until we discuss this as a team, but we'd probably look to make regular old ashes drop on F2P Worlds. We didn't really poll the latter option which is why the first is preferred, but the second option is possible.

Edit: Correction - I've been made aware we did put F2P information in the Blog, and we'll be correcting the Ash system so that it works as polled. Apologies for the miscommunication. :)
