You say bograda and we currently have bagrada rex in game. Is it a new dino that expands the breeding log or is it a typo lots of places and its actually just bagrada we already have?

I typo'd (and have now corrected) that. I habitually wrote 'bograda' due to working on this update a couple months (for reasons highlighted by Benbored94).

The 5 variants of bagrada rex (including a rename with the original model) are indeed experimental off-breeds of the bagrada rex, with the bograda rex as the ultimate dino-mighty poop-tastic outcome.

Also as Benbored94 speculated, they're exclusive to this skilling area and don't feed back into the Player Owned Farm breeding log. They're produced through Firemaking/Fletching rather than Farming (for reasons which'll hopefully make sense in context tomorrow).

Would've been nice, to get more use out of these 4 re-textured tyrannosaur baby variants.

Player Owned Farm dino babies have the absolute bare minimum of NPC animations, though (idle, walk), so insufficient assets even for a non-combat follower pet. (I suspect some players wouldn't appreciate having a pet that cannot run.)

FWIW, we put everything these bagrada rex variants can do proudly on display in the skilling area. Because these baby rexes are frickin' adorbs.

I'm only slightly disappointed the note wasn't "Make like a tree".

Tagging /u/Jagex_Stu since this is both new player experience and quest list improvements, and I know you have worked on both

Thanks, I'd already read your post (you clearly put a lot of work into it!) and Mod Jack also made me aware of it when you posted it.

Quite a few suggestions on this list I already had or have added to my wish list for if I get to do a quest-list themed ninja strike in the future.

It took me waay too long to realise it was "Orge" and not "Ogre" and was definitely something that made me smile for the rest of my day. So I had another question, what if someone named Jayne actually talks to him? Do you get married to Orge?

Lovely to hear, thank you!

Unfortunately, Orge isn't able to figure out your name is Jayne. (He apparently has enough trouble grokking his own name.) I guess Orge's love is tragically doomed to be forever unrequited.

Hey Stu! What have you been up to lately? Anything fun to share?

Well, as Mod Mic mentioned in the last General Q&A on Twitch, myself and Mod Abe have been developing a skilling update featuring zygomites (currently scheduled for release mid-year).

I shan't say more than that, but we're having a lot of wholesome fun with this project, and enjoying creating content again.

I hope I'll be able to share more about it as we get closer to release.

Before that, Mod Abe, Mod Hunter and I developed the world map ninja strike that released in February.

Guilty. This was my one contribution to Archaeology.

Was particularly interesting to find ogre models that aren't about a decade old and work around the lack of chatheads on the better ones (as they were only intended for GWD combat).

I had fun with Orge. That ogre model had been typo'd when saved out, but had a chathead, so I ran with it.

I will politely ask /u/jagex_stu to look at this.

I'm on holiday today so unable to investigate beyond the presented evidence.

But since you don't seem to have gold text for your active objective listed in your quest journal, I'd suspect you may need to talk to Wizard Mizgog at the Wizards' Tower to progress each of the 4 imps to a state where they're visible.

If that doesn't fix it, please submit an ingame bug report so we have your recent RSN to reproduce the issue with your account state and determine a resolution.

Hi there, sorry to bother, but I was really curious if there have been any recent developments on defence resets. The fact there is even discourse about it has me over the moon that I may be able to revive my old account and play 1 defence again without spending the years it took to get to where I was again (ie making a fresh account)

I really don't want to pester anyone about it too much so please ignore me if there is nothing to share, I'm just super hopeful and excited about the whole thing. :)

ps. thanks for all you're doing for us

Hi! To summarise, much more discussion happened, both here and then in a discord that Tranquil created (I'd suggest requesting an invite to this discord https://discord.com/invite/Nzg5uSZYZY if you're interested in getting all the context - includes a lot of voting results, etc).

If you're not able to get to the announcements channel there, here's a direct link to the design for XP blocking and skill resets we ultimately managed to agree upon and get approved by internal councils:

If possible could we get a fix regarding Drakan's Medallion? It says 36 Def is required in the Def skill guide, but I've tested and you for sure can wear and use the teleport at 1 Def. Also don't know if it's something that could be changed, but the achievement diary rewards for Karmaja (Hard Tasks - Karamja Gloves 3) and Desert (Hard Tasks - Desert Amulet 3) don't let you use the teleport without level 30 something Defence. It's another throwback requirement like Curses, to a time when the pre-req quests would have given Def exp to reach that level, but they're all lamps now; and as is, it just prevents people from using the reward they get (I think it's the only two cases in game of being able to get the items, but not use their teleports). I don't play as 1 Def since...the accident (eagerly awaiting the day we can reset more than once)...but I know a lot of people would appreciate this if it could be looked into!

Please submit an ingame bug report for these issues, if you haven't already. :)

I...

I don't think that's how footwear works.

Or what if... am I doing shoes wrong?

Maybe I should stop wearing shoes altogether.

That'd be a feat.

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Thank you, I also have bought Premier Package but have not recieved the keys because of my Ironman status I guess, will I get them if I revert my Ironman status to regular player?

One of the restrictions of Ironmen is that they don't get Treasure Hunter keys or access Treasure Hunter, correct.

I'm honestly not certain about the specifics of how ironman interrelates with Premier Club, but I'd imagine, like the vast majority of benefits that are blocked by the restrictions of ironman mode, they aren't given to you retroactively.

(eg You wouldn't get a membership Treasure Hunter key for every daily challenge you completed as an ironman member, if you lose your ironman status.)

Hi there. Sounds like you currently are getting the "Basic..." challenges that introduce the core loop of several skills and the challenge system to new accounts.

If you power through and complete them - they're even shorter than regular challenges, and there's 9 basic challenges in total - then you'll get your first 3 daily challenges (that give XP in that skill) and the weekly reward layer will activate.

Is it silent? I thought you start your tongue at t and then say the z.

For example Ndiaga Dieye. The n is not silent but it isnt easy to hear either. (I'm assuming the ndia is pronounced the same as my friends name) she tells people to ignore the n, but it is there.

Technically you're right - your approach is particularly helpful to get adjacent consonants to sound right. eg TzTok-Jad or TzKal-Zuk.

If in doubt, ask God Ash: https://youtu.be/kFM6RSCzPgI?t=288
