Please for the love of god remove that stupid patches that remove BoB QOL to herblore

I'm kind of surprised this idea hasn't been floated around before as an update and somewhat explored. My guess would be maybe it was, but that was too long ago for the current staff to remember/it got passed over or ignored and therefore forgotten.

Here's hoping that players can hear a yay or nay on this accidental QoL once the internal debating is settled.

It's been raised a few ideas, but it's a big balancing act to consider. After all being able to use stuff straight from the Bob increases the amount of stuff you can craft in one sitting, which changes the xp/hr of that task. Apply that across all possible such crafting tasks and it becomes a really big job and one that ultimately changes up the meta of the game too dramatically in most situations.

Which means they should implement it properly. We have no idea what could go wrong if it was just left in the game.

Just wanted to reply to say, this.

We removed the change because it wasn't intentional and therefore could have caused all manner of catastrophic problems down the line. It was a change we hadn't tested (because it was unintentional) and therefore it was a danger to everyone's game.

We'd need to look into the balancing of a change like this, among other things, as whilst it's nice and convenient the long term effects could be really bad for the economy. However, it's potentially something we might consider adding back in future *IF* we determine that it's safe for the whole game.

It depends whether you believe luck is a temporary buff that lasts for a set duration, in which case you should probably get a ticket, or it's a one off flag that is unset once used. In which case your luck is likely gone now.

No worries, it happens. I cannot tell you the number of times I've gotten furious at the code only to realise I wasn't even working in the right stream....

Ok, here: Used mobile client

Following setup: https://aijaa.com/1nhaUo

Whip is augmented with Wise 3. And pots were saplings. And I think the amount of urns were 50, if I can recall correctly. All the patches asked cactus spines (amount 8) instead of coconuts.

EDIT: Nevermind, just went to back and apparently I failthumbed and have placed yew trees which I didn't see with mobile client. My bad and sorry for bothering you!

Assuming that image is directing me to the elf city patch, I'm still getting 25 coconuts as the request. Obvious question is obvious, but you've definitely planted a magic tree and not accidentally planted a yew tree right?

We haven't changed any of the core tree code to my knowledge, so this issue has us all stumped (pardon the pun).

I've done some investigation and I can't seem to reproduce this issue. I planted a magic tree and tried to protect it and got asked for 25 coconuts as expected. Are you using a specific patch or any special setup?

Roughly speaking the odds are:

For the genders alone: 1 in 16
For the names: 1 in 810,000

So for them both, that would be: 1 in 12,960,000

Assuming my maths is right, which let's be fair it probably isn't (long day).

I didn't find this on news posts neither on patch notes:

Securing magic trees via farmers now cost 10 Cactus spines. Is this intended or a bug? /u/darkhearted_raven

If intended, why? My tree runs are now requiring noting more coconuts. :-(

EDIT: Nevermind, the fault was between the chair and mobilephone

It's not a change that I'm aware of, but it might have been one of the improvements we added along the way. Can you submit an in game bug report for me and I'll do some asking around?

The only thing I feel ironmen need any strong consideration for (coming from a maxed ironman), is content where player trading is strongly intended. For instance, if a boss drops multiple parts of a weapon randomly it can make getting the complete weapon significantly more difficult, which you guys have addressed by making those pieces drop in order (Telos orbs, ED3 crossbow).

While this food is difficult to obtain, I don't see it being unfair to ironmen at all. They have to put in the same amount of effort as normal accounts.

If the cost of the food does end up being a problem however, one thing I might suggest is making the T3 meat a bit easier to obtain. Maybe adding it to harvesting the appropriate Ranch out of Time dinosaurs (if they aren't already planned to give it).

Alternatively, there might be animal perks that could help you out there... ;)

Onto crafting currently. Mostly because I had a stack of proteans and wasn't sure what to properly go for. I should probably focus on combat skills.

You've made the big assumption that Preshistoric Potterington was on the island from the first time around. There are boats to Anachronia now you realise. :P

I love that you've done maths on my silly old grandmas.

Oh yea, definitely not for this coming Monday, for sure; that'd be some insane development time. Just something to consider looking into, as I think some kind of combined potion dose storage would alleviate most of, if not entirely all of, the bank space outcry.

It's something to consider. I doubt it can be a thing that comes from the bank, but there might be alternatives.

Better than a seed bag would be a way for the bank to store a total amount of doses of a potion rather than a ton of individual items for each dosage amount. Many people have a potions tab that probably takes up a third if not half their bank space. Consolidating all those in some way would be an amazing bank space saver, way more than a seed bag would provide.

Withdrawing a preset would take from the total doses and from a stack of either empty vials, flasks, or juju vials and fill them, and depositing would destroy the vial/flask/juju vial but deposit/keep the remaining doses in bank.

This is a nice idea, but from the bank would require us to rewrite how the banking code works to account for this and that way madness lies. It's a possible reward space for future consideration, but it's definitely not something we could get anywhere near launch I'm afraid.

I think it would help a lot if we had a localised seed storage just for Arc Berries and Herblore Habitat since those are located on the very specific spots in the game. It would certainly be more helpful than just having two "tabs" for the general seed storage that are useless outside those two spots.

There are other like these (Ex: Evil Turnip, Belladona, etc.), but they are nowhere near as egregious on bank space consumption.

I've raised both of these options, but they do still share many of the same limitations that prevented the seed storage in the first place. We'll look into it. Definitely won't happen for launch (as that's Monday) but it's a reward/QoL space that we'll investigate heavily in for the future.
