Yeah, I don't recall reading an increase of bark from events to match the current bark per hour.

Might take an awful long time to get the axe now.

Also they didn't mention if without the bees on a stick if we just miss out on the extra bark or we get bark as if we had the bees.

As far as I understand it, the rewards you would have got with the event items, will be the case if you are eligable for an event. So shouldn't be too much change, just less maintenance.

Love the update. Especially the fix for the wilderness boss caves. Question unrelated to this week's update...

Are the Squirk'in and Squirk'in too worlds going to be removed now that it's literally dead content ever since leagues?

Probably something we should look at, but I wonder if it would start up again if we removed it? Our acknowledgement can sometimes kill the meme.

Exactly right, if your tracked trees aren't within the zone when an event spawns, you won't be able to receive any nests from Ents.

What were the unique rates before and after? It seems odd not publishing them at all for a comparison.

EDITED TO ADD PETAL GARLAND
The drop rates of the Fox Whistle and Golden Pheasant Egg increased by ~40%. Drop rates now sit at:

  • Fox Whistle & Golden Pheasant Egg: 1/90 (1 Woodcutting) -> 1/45 (99 Woodcutting) - Should be noted that this rate for the Golden Pheasant Egg is more likely as this triggers per egg gathered
  • Petal Garland: 1/50
  • Pheasant Feathers: 1/2
  • Bee Parts: 2/3

I think it's more of an intense stare makes the Pot get nervous and break.

Can the game status page be updated? it still shows last weeks update as upcoming.

Appreciate the comment, this has now been updated and hopefully made a little bit clearer to the status of the game.

I honestly would just start with smaller goals that are going to make you feel more accomplished in the early-game. Whether that's completeing a certain quest, getting a certain item or leveling up to unlock something.

The journey of Old School is the best bit, rather than the destination :)

Could you please update the question regarding these items? The way it reads is confusing, and it sounds like only the shields would get the effect from the echo crystals.

Done and done!

Boo to the claws changes. Stop wasting our time with polls when you’re cherry picking which questions you’re gonna hold to the 70% threshold.

Genuine question - How do you feel we should approach something that we want just an opinion on as opposed to something that we want to be lock-in place?

The poll gives us the most amount of interaction with you all and gives us a better indication than any survey could - and I would like to think we can use the polls for those opinions if it helps us towards making a clearer, more concise decision.

Heya! This was mostly a question of if how we should approach each god alignment and less so on the specifics.

I.e. do you think every God Alignment should have the same way to unlock (via a quest), the same amount of Prayers and be added to the Prayer book in the same way or do you think each of them should be approached differently, either by a little or a lot.

Let me know if that helps!

For me, I don't think the game should have prayers based on Skilling - specifically gathering/production skills. Instead, buffs to skilling should be gained through skilling outfits (such as direct xp buffs and/or actions taking less ticks).

We already have Preserve in-game, which if you use a skilling outfit + fill the rest with correct prayer equipment, you can end up with like 50 minutes of Preserve, allowing the boosts provided from tool-specs to last longer. The only way to improve this would be to put prayer alters closer to skilling hubs - you can even provide it as a reward from minigames (example, 100 gold nuggets to unlock a prayer alter next to the bank in MLM).

That being said, there may be some skills that do benefit from prayers (example would be Thieving and Agility) - so I am not totally against the idea. I ...

That's a fair point, and something I'll keep in mind for future surveys! It defo won't be the last survey around the God Alignment Prayers so hopefully I can give you and others that space to share more about the 'what not to do' in the future.

I did think about adding it to the list of survey questions... but maybe for another time.

Im loving the mid game updates as of recent. Are there any future plans to implement weapons or armor similar to the rat weapons to make other “mid tier” weapons or armor bis at certain places?

Nothing yet, but I personally love the idea that the weapons brought and would like to see some more of them enter the game.

It seems pointless voting in polls when you're going to ignore whether or not it passed and do what you want, What was the point of polling to move claws to tormented demons if you were going to not do it anyway? It was a perfect opportunity to de-bloat COX's unique table even if it was just one item

Appreciate you might be against the direction we went with, but the Poll question itself was framed as an opinion question which Mod Goblin gives some detail on.

thank you for repolling the echo crystals..

edit: The poll question is kind of makes it sound like the boots wont have the 3x3 aoe.. you should change it. to..

Which item/s should the Echo Crystals from the Fortis Colosseum be attched to? Combining the Echo Crystals with these shields or boots would add a 3x3 AoE recoil effect, consume a charge for each recoil activation, and add a +2 Prayer bonus.

Thanks for the feedback and a fair point which has been ammended :)
