(2020) Please Don't Let Essence of Finality End Up Like T92 Armour for Several Years

Original Post

Outside of outlier cases such as storing and using the SWH spec, the upcoming hydrix jewellery seems prohibitively expensive to use. Admittedly the new amulet seems grossly BiS, however I think balancing this around the high upkeep cost is just plain unfun for the player. Seeing as the storing of specials passive seems extremely unique and revitalises a bunch of weapons and a few fun strategies, I implore Jagex to perhaps half the current repair cost (20% per dust > 50%) in order to make it so that not only 1000%+ telos streakers, AoD and Solak groups get to use this cool new item. Don't let this fester for several years like mage/ranged t92 armour did, fix it on the onset please.

Thanks for the feedback about this since the livestream.

I am happy to say that we have changed the recharge cost so that 1x Alchemical Hydrix dust will now recharge 50% of EoF rather than the previous 20%. On release, it will be 50% instead of the 20% it was.
