The snails aren't doing damage anymore and nobody knows or cares

Original Post

Something is not right with the snails in the mort myre swamp and haunted woods. With no items equipped and 0 defense (zamorak brews), a variety of snails in the multi combat zones near the nature grotto and the southern haunted woods were unable to deal even a single hit of damage to me. I remember I used to kill these snails for money, and they had no problem dealing chip damage while I had base 60 stats + a little bit of armor.

Does anyone know why this would be?
edit: nobody has braved real snails post-combat rebalance. These things will absolutely shred when this gets fixed.

Looks like the snails have been made inert since 2023.

I will look into bringing the snails back to their former glory.

A refactor that was only partially done it seems.
