Not that I know of - but what I know of are the episodic projects that are scheduled in for the 2024 Fort Forinthry season, as since 2023 I work in the episodic content team.

I can tell you with certainty that the upcoming Fort quest I've recently been helping to develop doesn't add augmentation to existing t70/t80 equipment.

Hotfix tweaking the starting condition logic for the Desperate Creatures quest has been deployed by Mod Easty <3, if you want to give it another try.

Update: it's completed WIP testing, and the wonderful Mod Easty is hotfixing it.

Nope, I can't currently give an ETA.

It's currently being tested and going through the RC release process, and while I've requested a hotfix, there's no guarantee that it will be hotfixed, as that's up to the upload manager to decide.

I'll update you as I hear more, but I'm at the other end of the production line, working on other projects.

Drat! I guess that's a consequence of its quest infrastructure being created long after it was released.

Thanks for letting me know. Probably can't justify that as a priority live bug, but I'll see if I can tweak it in the follow-up quest we're finishing off.

Impressing the Locals is a quest. (At the time it was implemented as a quest to increase onboarding visibility to the Arc (since adding miniquests to the quest list happened years later), while the content in the Arc was implemented as miniquests both to manage expectations (a lot of them we quickly knocked together in a couple of days and are quite short) and over concerns at the time about having quests with 90+ skill requirements).

The work released today was Mod Shrike's labour of love to tidy up the Elder God Wars quest series before her departure.

If we convert any other miniquests to quests, it's likely to be something a developer volunteers to do in a game jam project. (Personally I have a long list of other quest QoL I'd prefer to prioritise in those opportunities.)

I've committed a fix to our local testing environment for QA to verify, and requested a hotfix.

As a philosophical ideal, miniquests that are converted to quests would give quest points.

We're constrained by a limitation in how the adventurer's log web module interfaces with the state of quests. The adventurer's log gets told at the time you complete a quest what quests you've completed and what quest points that quest has, so the adventurer's log (now RuneMetrics) can display your quest points. Therefore if we change the quest points on a quest after release, the adventurer's log of players who've already completed that quest will get out of sync.

The 60ish miniquests we have weren't given quest points when we added them to the quest list for a similar reason, as their unlisted content was already live and therefore players may or may not have completed them. (Players can be in various states of having completed or not completed those miniquests, so the event that tells the adventurer's log how many quest points it has might or might not have already been sen...

Welcome to RuneScape! :D

Yes, F2P can level member skills to 5 (20 for Archaeology), to get a 'free sample' of the skill. Member skills are lowered to this cap on F2P worlds.

You earn Agility XP mostly by running laps of Agility courses. F2P have access to the agility course in the north-east corner of Burthorpe. Click the next obstacle you can reach on a course to progress.

Here's more info from the wonderfully comprehensive player-maintained RuneScape wiki: ...

Guthixdangit. I hate abilities. So much.

Thanks for your ingame report. Much appreciated. :)

We use a hybrid model. Some assets are outsourced, and some are done in-house, depending on the expertise required and production needs / staff availability.

IIRC Adrasteia's singing animations were created by one of our in-house animators, so I admittedly made a mis-leading statement.

I can't say that's a notable obstacle for it. The initial hurdle to get over is the new player avatar and all the potential equipment that can be layered on it, which spans twenty years of varying graphical fidelity.

In the meantime, we have been making use of the new human base for newly created human NPCs where viable (eg Adrasteia, Moia).

To clarify, the difficulty wasn't in creating the animations, but the content development side of cutscene composition, camera work, timing the action to the music, getting the lyrics to appear at an appropriate time.

We commissioned a singing idle animation and a second to trigger as needed for flourishes. We didn't go as far as creating unique lip synced animations for each voiced line. If you got the impression we did, that's a good sign!

Shout out to Mod Zura for creating the musical finale and especially his epic camera work.

My contribution came in tuning the timing to make the most of what we had (especially later when the voiced track became available) and getting obsessively perfectionistic about trivial details.

Should be fixed when today's patch notes release.

We're arranging a hotfix to address this 'til the coldfix on Monday's update.

As a short-term workaround, choose a different quest list sort from the dropdown list in the top-left corner of your quest list (the dropdown will be labelled Alphabetical if you're in this state), and it'll kick the quest list back onto a valid sorting ID.

Just to note, it was a deliberate design choice, since she wants to go on one last adventure with you before her coronation.

Her conversation is blocked when outside of the intended quest areas to prevent stalling exploits, so it should hopefully be harmless.

Have fun. See what horrible and wonderful holiday destinations you can take her.
