What's your favorite examine text? That you did, or someone else.
Technically they're feedback messages, but on reflection it's a toss-up between
A) The exit from the tomb in The Death of Chivalry, "You must slaughter the zombies before venturing forth" (big fan of Baldur's Gate)
B) Correcting the spelling error in the Brimhaven / Shilo Village cart system. "You hop into the cart and the driver urges Theho Rses on."
The best examine text imo probably has to be that one random chair in menaphos that says, "Yes it's a chair, No you can't sit on it, Riot on World 66."
That one's my fault!
I am, yeah. The opportunity to bring attention to a funny examine text presented itself, and I took it.
I appreciate your initiative, Wahi.
Great!
Also, can we get an option to PERMANENTLY disable skill resets? As a safeguard against compromised account having XP reset.
There used to be that option, but as players wanted to be able to use features added since they made that decision, I removed it at their request.
In exchange, Nastroth now requires a bank pin to request or activate a reset, and you have to return to Nastroth after at least 7 days to activate a reset, doubling as safeguards against compromised accounts.
so if i already reset defence on my account do i need to wait 6 months from now to reset it or can i do it after the week wait time?
The 180 day cooldown started when you used a major Defence reset, so if that time has elapsed, or when it does, you can request another 7 day wait for a major/ minor reset.
As you've already used a Defence major reset, you won't be able to request a Constitution & Prayer reset as the major resets weren't intended to stack when created as one reset per account.
You're probably joking, but just in case, that one's a deliberate mistake, part of Mod Abe's running joke for the planks in that area.
Can this be used for magic? I have an account with an unwanted 7 magic I accidentally got whilst recoiling a dragon for the egg which I ironically got the same kill.
As long as the skill you want to reset is level 10 or below (15 for Constitution), yes.
So sounds like your 7 Magic qualifies for a minor skill reset. :)
Yeah understood that much but is there any form of verification for this, as in do you get a chat dialogue saying your reset is going to be level 9 , or reset to 1000xp. Or is this entirely up to hoping you remembered your 20 year old accounts creation date correctly
In terms of chat confirmation from Nastroth, not currently.
But yesterday I coded a post-release feature requested by Jackladder where you can choose the specific XP value to lower to when activating a minor reset. (He has a particular corner case of wanting to lower his Prayer to 4.5 XP.)
When that releases in a Monday game update or two, that'd provide you confirmation through showing the range of XP you can lower to, and then confirming the specific amount.
If you're not wanting to reset and just want to know what will happen, you could then decline or walk away before Nastroth punches the XP out of you.
May as well request a minor reset now due to the 7 day wait to activate a reset.
u/Jagex_Stu So i am obviously extremely cautious here but , i am a 9 HP main and my account was created before the trashhold of march 2004. This means my HP should reset to 9 if I where to accidentally level it to 10. Is there any form of guarantee in this. I am not looking forward to getting stuck with 10 hp accidentally and not being able to get 9 back.
It's entirely dependent on the creation date of your account.
if your account creation date is earlier than 8th March 2004, resetting your Constitution sets it to 1,000.0 XP, instead of the usual minimum of 1,154 XP. (Applies to both the major Constitution & Prayer reset and minor Constitution reset.)
Stu, end of your comment sounded like the beginning of a Player Moderator Application offer by a scammer 😛
Now that you mention it, we have noticed maturity on your account...
Couldn’t @ you directly in the discord. I just wanted to thank you for all the work you put in and the exp restriction system coming to pass. I know it’s mostly for pures, but for me personally something I hate is becoming over leveled by grinding for drops in games or other stuff, it genuinely fills me with anxiety watching stats I don’t want going up to go up.
It’s a small thing but this really helps me personally on being able to grind without having to worry about over leveling past other content. Ty.
Thank you! It's wonderful that even though you're not a skill pure, you have a use case for this update! That's not a need I'd thought of, but makes a lot of sense!
By the way, while we're chatting, thanks so much for the detailed, thoughtful and often positive messages I regularly see you post on Reddit.
I've often seen you go out of your way to help players, especially with questions around lore and timeline order and the like. I very much appreciate it!
/u/Jagex_Stu Thanks for this update this is awesome for my tank pure
I just wanted to raise a small issue. My account was already ready for a reset before today (more than 7 days since I requested it from Nastroth). I changed my mind since then, but I don't see a way to cancel the request. I get the popup on every login that Nastroth is ready to reset my stats and to talk to him to cancel it, but I've gone through all his dialogue to no avail.
RSN: randomnes1
I loaded your account into a test environment to see what's up.
Looks like the option to clear your request is only available during that 7 day wait, but once you have waited it out, there's an option to clear your request, after you've chosen the type of reset you want.
Looks like you need to:
a] set a bank pin (was added as a security measure for resets, due to clearing the option to never be able to reset) using the bank pan icon near the bottom-right corner of your bank interface
b] Talk to Nastroth and choose the "Let's talk about skill resets" option
c] Choose either a Defence (major) or One skill of my choice (minor) reset (your skills are too high to qualify for the Constitution & Prayer (major) reset)
d] You'll then get the option to either continue with your reset or "No, I want to forget about this". Choose the latter option and you won't be bothered by your pending request any more. :)
From today, a bank pin's requ...
Read moreI'm glad it brought you back. Happy 'Scaping!
From skillers and pures across the board, just want to give you a massive thank you. Ruined my skiller 2 years ago doing a fight cave and this has reinvigorated me to resubscribe and continue working on it.
<3
Ok cool, so no level limit on single (minor) resets starting monday? Thanks for advice
If the XP in the skill you want to reset is greater than or equal to this value:
...Nastroth is unable to offer a minor reset in that skill.
Otherwise, yes.
Bear in mind that resets, major and minor, share a 180 day cooldown, though. Since major resets are going to be removed in about 180 days to prevent issues with them being repeatedly used, if you do a minor reset, you'll have to wait 180 days before your next reset, so you likely won't have time to do a major reset before they're removed.
If I gain experience in a blocked skill and have bonus XP in it will it use up the bonus xp?
When you block a skill, the procedure that gives XP aborts early before it gets to do anything. This includes giving XP and giving bonus XP.
For reward XP, looks like that also includes blocking:
For activity XP (defeating an enemy in combat, etc), looks like that also includes blocking:
As above, plus blocks:
I have this feature permanently disabled. Will it still remain disabled upon this update, or will I have to manually permanently disable it myself again?
Since there are new features and some folks who had asked Nastroth to remove the option to reset wanted to use them, I've removed that permanent disable feature so players can access Nastroth's revised services.
Note that resets now require a bank pin to request and activate a reset for increased security, in addition to all the previous safety checks, 7 day wait to activate a reset, etc.
Just to make sure:
- "Doesn't exceed level 10" means a skill can be reset so long as the level hasn't hit 11, right? Or is having 1155 xp (which is more than enough to hit level 10, but not enough to hit level 11) enough to prevent resets?
- Are resets available in free-to-play, or are they members only?
- If a player has already used a major reset before this update goes live, will resets be on cooldown when this update comes out, or will that player be able to use a minor reset immediately if they want to? Does the answer change depending on when they used their reset?
- Can a blocked skill be un-blocked?
- Can you get skilling pets from using a blocked skill?
It's intended to be one step away from the maximum XP you can have in a skill before ticking over to level 11 (or level 16 for Constitution).
If your XP is greater than or equal to this value:
...Nastroth is unable to offer a minor reset in that skill.

Read moreIf nothing was changed with nastroth, it wouldn't work. When I got 11 hp I tried with him.
I remember his rules in dialog and wiki both saying he can reset in either defence or hp/prayer. (Which is perfect for me). But after waiting 7 days, nastroth said, because I have defence xp I can't reset my HP.
But I can give it another go with high hopes.
Edit. That's better!
Righto, I did a bit more investigation into your specific case.
On Monday, you won't be able to do a major Constitution & Prayer reset since you don't currently meet the requirements. ("Players looking to reset Constitution and Prayer must have level 5 or lower in Attack, Strength, Defence, Ranged, Magic and Summoning, while players looking to reset Defence must have a total level of 10 or more in Attack, Strength, Magic, and Ranged.")
You could do a minor reset of one of those combat skills that's higher than 5, but you'd have to wait 180 days between resets.
However, Nastroth's two major resets are being removed in about 6 months to avoid exploits from re-using them. Which means that you wouldn't get to do your major reset before they're removed.
I've had a chat with some players from the pure community for advice to consider the options; we concluded the safest and simplest approach would be to raise the Constitution & Prayer's requirement from le...
Read morerelated to 9 hp accounts, you seem like the best person to ask this; is there any chance of the 10hp requirement being removed from using special attacks/eof specials from items such as darklight and other 1 combat stat special attacks & ingenuity of the humans. it seems like an oversight rather than a hard requirement and would allow 9hpers to do some interesting stuff
I'm honestly not certain why the Essence of Finality has a 10 Constitution requirement. I'd have to check with the developers involved.
I've scheduled a message to the combat council on Monday passing on Mionee_rs's and ProBro_1137's enquiries about the Essence of Finality, as it's the council's call to make.
