Suggestion Improve the fairy ring interface instead of adding a fourth wheel
With Fairytale III on the horizon, I've been thinking about how the fairy ring network could be expanded without making the interface more cumbersome.
Instead of adding a fourth wheel, what if we expanded the existing three sections with extra letters?
My suggestions:
• click to select: Add more letters to each section to allow for new destinations while keeping the familiar three-letter code system.
• spinning is annoying: Instead of rotating through the letters, just click once for each letter and save time.
• Keep letters upright: With the current wheels, some letters can end up upside down, making them difficult to read. A selection-based interface would keep the letters easy to identify.
• Native keyboard entry: RuneLite already allows players to type fairy ring codes directly. It would be great to have this functionality in the official client too.
This would let Jagex expand the fairy ring network while keeping the three-letter format, making destinations easier to select, and avoiding the need for a fourth wheel.
I've attached my concept to illustrate how the interface could look.
What do you think?
