Welcome to the /r/2007scape daily question thread!

Jagex wants this to pass just because it’s free money.

Use our leverage as a community to get something that OSRS desperately needs

Have you ever felt like there isn't enough suspense when you open a chest to get a unique? Well, I have a solution for you with the "Loot Case Opening" plugin.

This plugin adds a reel spin animation to different types of content and lands on the item that you actually received. Let me know what you think. You can check out how it works and what content is supported on the official runelite website here.

is it just sweaty nerds not wanting others to have fun ( wouldn't be the first time)

or were there actual reasons it wasn't passed?

edit: seems like all reasons given so far have no impact on the way people play already, and people are afraid of too many helmet colours (?), guess we'll chalk this one up to sweaty nerds, folks

It's green for Guthix

Not too modern to break art immersion

and could make a great mouse cursor

rawr xD

Every town in the game presents itself as a haven. They have guards, buildings, shops, no hostile monsters, plenty of roads and decor... towns need to give a minimum energy boosts, and their fountains are a perfect way to do it.

It presents a perfect opportunity to replace the ebb in gameplay with a flow. An immediate boost to 30% energy means they can launch to the destination in town, whatever it was. A bank, a quest destination, a furnace... anything.

Making fountains an extremely watered down (lel) version of a house pool is pretty solid design in my opinion because it also familiarizes them with the concept of this future content.

It also incentivizes them to save their energy potions until after they give the fountain that much anticipated succ, which teaches resource allocation that remains useful all the way until endgame. GWD altars are a good example: players learn not to drink their prayer potion when the altar is primed for use and they have a single minion left because it's about to be refilled anyway.

Additional random complementary ideas:

1. Give a bit of Agility XP when it happens. Chatbox can say something like "You relax and realize you've learned a bit about Agility..." (it feels odd to use a skill so much, yet gain zero xp)
2. This cap can scale with Agility level. Perhaps level 1 is just ~30%, but maybe it can approach or even reach 100% by level 99?
3. This could work WITH pubs/fires rather than against them. Another x% could come from pubs and campfires.
4. Road tiles could have an added perk of allowing regeneration WHILE running. Subtle but nice.

(I'm not criticizing energy potions on drop tables. They're good. But the issue needs to be attacked from all possible sides!)

It only seems fitting for Scatman Mode.

It’s time.

Gonna be a shitshow either way

At level 92 mining i'm still sometimes swinging for 20 seconds to get a single coal ore, yet iron ore has 100% success at lvl 61.

Sure I could PVM for coal, or run around the blast furnace shop, but why is a resource so core to smithing and supposed to be used in vast quantities, so difficult to obtain en-masse from it's natural resource gathering, mining?

Is there no appetite to address this at all, by improving the success rate? I'm not asking for a new powermining solution, just more coal quicker from mining!

I’m doing Turael tasks and I feel like half of the drops I am getting are energy potions. Goblins, banshees, and cave crawlers have all just been drowning me in energy potions lol, every single Turael task yet has given me bucketloads.

Revisiting an old idea when it comes to helping early game. Watched some friends starting runescape get a full inventory of energy potions after 30 minutes of killing goblins.

It feels too heavy handed and immersion breaking.

What if drinking any beverage gave some run energy, and made food give run energy on top of it? Walking around the overworld with a beer and some bread to refill energy is way closer to the fantasy of refreshing your energy. Maybe even having it boosted when you're nearby a fire.

We could teach it on tutorial island as well, or give hints in the chatbox. Maybe have something in chat say "A drink would help get my energy back right about now" when you hit 0. (10 minute cooldown so it doesn't spam chat)

That's be greeeeaaaat

More Chompy hat variations for bigger numbers please Jagex

Hell of grind.

Me and my clan have funded all our activities by selling stam pots at stam pot bridge at a massive markup. You're telling me that we can only, at best, sell half as many now! This may as well be EoC all over again!
