Okay, sure, I'm open to changing the rune requirements. Distinctly different runes will also help with distinguishing the spells until unique icons are available.

1 air 1 nature 1 law for the Taverley Teleport it is, then, unless there's a consensus otherwise. When you come to an agreement, I'll write myself a JIRA.

Does that exception also apply to all the identical lunar spell teleports?

Gotcha! I interpreted "Perhaps 1 of each Rune rather than 3 air" as "1 air 1 earth 1 fire 1 water 1 law", hence my confusion.

Thanks for clarifying!

I agree with you in principle that each spell requiring a unique combination would make more lore sense.

However, that doesn't appear to be an established convention given that there are already a number of teleport spells requiring identical runes: https://runescape.wiki/w/Teleport_spells

Presumably some degree of intent on the part of the caster factors into the destination, since duplicates are already a thing.

Rationale behind the choice of runes is the lowest-level teleports all require law and air runes. Two also require water, two also require earth, and one required fire. So adding a second that required fire seemed symmetrical.

I'm curious why you prefer one of each rune, as that seems to deviate from any established pattern (and needing to withdraw and carry an additional rune could make a convenience update slightly less convenient).

I originally created this spell in October last year in response to player request. Since other 2D art requests (eg War's Retreat) have continued to take priority, I figured it was preferable to release the teleport spell for the benefit of the niche audience that requested it, than continue to postpone release. According to clue hunters pushing for a teleport at the time, they preferred a teleport spell to silver jewellery.

To ensure it isn't forgotten about, there's still an art request for a unique spell icon, and I've assig...

Just to manage expectations, we're not unveiling a new tutorial in Thursday's livestream. Don't expect exciting reveals.

Currently (unless I'm told to do something else), I'm intending for a niche discussion around tutorials and my personal non-authoritative view on the subject, and probably some playthrough of the current tutorial with developer commentary, as most players aren't likely to haven't seen it.

If that sounds awful to you, then you may want to skip this one. Hence it's an additional Thursday stream.

And by my reckoning, we're up to 8 major tutorial updates in RuneScape's life:

2002 - Tutorial Island

2008 - Learning the Ropes

2009 - Unstable Foundations & Advisor system

2010 - Lumbridge introductory tasks

2011 - Stop Them in Their Tracks

2012 - Troll Warzone

2013 - Ashdale

2018 - Tutorial Island II: Isle Hard with a Vengeance

2019 - Burthorpe/Taverley Paths

Created an account and tested in live just to be sure, and looks like this feature indeed hasn't been released yet.

Investigated the JIRA tracking this issue, and looks like it was returned by QA to resolve a bug they discovered, so the issue's still in progress. I've offered to help them fix it when we're back from the weekend so we can get this pushed live.

I'm personally partial to the F2P signature hero quests: "Song from the Depths", "Stolen Hearts", "Rune Mysteries", "The Death of Chivalry". They're fully voiced, modern, no requirements, and all have some puzzle elements. My nieces played them recently, and really enjoyed them.

Depending on how soon you want to jump them into the Sixth Age god story, "Missing, Presumed Death" is fully voiced, has some puzzle elements, and is F2P now.

Also, yes, upvote for "One Piercing Note". It's more investigative than puzzley, but there's no combat, beautiful soundtrack, and it's one of Mod JohnA's best written quests. Definitely one to play with voice on.

If the level 3 means "they're a pure; don't want to get combat XP", sort the quest journal by combat difficulty, tick "Can complete" to hide the quests for which they don't meet requirements, and focus on the ones in the "None" combat category.

In the top left corner of the Adventures->Quests parent interface, there's a drop down box to sort your quest list.

One of the sorts is by Length, so you can use that to find the shortest quests.

Also, tick the "Can complete" box to hide quests for which you don't meet the requirements, and that'll filter out the quests with high skill levels. :)

Miniquests are also in the quest list now, but they don't award QPs or keys. There's a filter for them too. :)

If you're on mobile:

The flag icon on the far left of your screen toggles visibility of your activity tracker.

If you're on desktop:

To re-open the activity tracker window, hover your cursor over the Adventures icon on your ribbon (looks like a compass) and then click the activity tracker (looks like a flag) icon from the sub-list.

If you do have an activity tracker visible and there's other activities tracked in it but no path,

you could either remove those activities from the tracker (right-click or long-press them then Remove) until it's empty and the default lets you choose a path ("There's No Shaman Trying" if you need to finish the path to kill troll shamans for air runes, otherwise if it's unlocked the "Weave Your Magic" path to craft your wand)

Or you could choose a path from the achievement path parent window. (Hero button -> Achievements tab -> right-hand side of the achievements summary page)

Or if you're on desktop...

Fair.

I've corrected my statement from 'fairly' small to 'relatively' small.

For what it's worth, I care a lot about pures and sub-communities. I used a lot of my TAPP time (which was actually time intended for employee personal development, not content development) back in the day making quests more pure friendly, such as converting XP rewards to discardable lamps requested by pures.

Mod Shogun did a fix shortly after the daily challenge rework so talking to Fara the challenge mistress in Burthorpe has a dialogue option to skip the combat and prayer basic challenge for no reward.

The pure community's relatively small, so possibly it's something you personally requested. ;)

Not sure if it's live yet (it's fresh in my memory because I encountered it in our bugfixes stream before the weekend, though don't recall seeing it in the patch notes).

But the dev work is done and that should address your issue once available.

I see the floor in your argument.

For Smithing, I'd recommend always training in the Falador Artisans' Workshop on world 70, to benefit from luminite injector buffs and earn respect towards unlocking benefits from Egil's shop, like the blacksmith's outfit (the helmet upgrade also provides daily free coal and teleports to the Workshop).

https://runescape.wiki/w/Pay-to-play_Smithing_training has a handy list of items that improve your Smithing efficiency, such as Varrock armour and an...

Thanks very much! I feel working with other players helped a lot with that. Did a lot of design validation over Discord in game jam and follow-up over the subsequent months.

<3 Thank you!

Good save ;)

And thank you very much for taking the time to post this topic!

Pretty much how it is now, excluding some additions and modifications (mainly the things that are a bit of a nuisance, like the gradually increasing shards, the TokKul-Zo needing to be uncharged, and I think also the Fight Cauldron coffer buff).

I get that you're mad, but I feel I should address a few of these points:

• I put a way to read the bookcase in the Fight Cauldron into the game because a growing community of players were searching for it, and trying ever more elaborate methods to unlock it. There seemed to be a positive community building around that search. Rather than telling them to give up because what they wanted to find didn't exist, I wanted to give people what they were looking for, so there'd be a pay-off for their efforts.
• That meant writing and approving some special lore to discover (in my own time, because my working hours were dedicated to the next project I'd been assigned after The Brink of Extinction). This lore turned out to be, among other things, the first mention of a specific elder god other than Jas, and her name (Ful).
• This addition took a little approval from narrative peeps, testing and localisation time. Which meant that by the time I could get the pay-off ...
