are dust and ornament kits on the same droptable? Meaning first you roll if you hit the droptable and after it rolls if you get a ornament kit or dust?
They are not on the same drop table. You can get both a dust and the kit in the same chest.
So apparently, if you get a drop at Chambers of Xeric, the purple light is broken. It shows a white light.
I've flagged it to the developers and QA thanks for letting me know!
Edit: This was only affecting the Dragon Claws but has now been hotfixed and should be purple from here on out :)
Disregard post, Mod Acorn corrected, leaving it up as show of my idiocy
I've noticed something interesting in the background of the merch pictures. Look here the first pic is of the merch, but look behind.
Doesn't that look like the barrows area in the left and mid pic?
The second picture is a screencap of TheLazyPeon's video covering OS remastered. In this moment, he was at barrows.
It's not exactly the same but they do look very similar.
If it's any consolation the person that took the photo placed the pins against some fake grass IRL though I do see the some similarities.
Do you also need to make time to get the roll for the kit?
You do need to make time to get the drop.
Sorry, a little confused here, then what is the difference between Question 19 and Question 21 from Poll #71?
Edit: I understand that question 20 is implemented over question 21 because question 20 was highest rated, but what does question 19 mean then vs. question 21?
It's okay and I can see how it's confusing. In the blog we ask the player do you want an increased chance of getting grubs based on thieving level (19). If that passes then we poll how do you want to get these grubs: multiple grubs from a single chest (20), or just overall chance increase across all chests (21). Hope that clarifies!

No you don't need the dust to get the recolour kit. It's just that it's an additional roll on the table.
Loc on Myth Max Cape?
Still being developed and QA'd. However we need to get Darkmeyer out next week so it may be a few updates before you see that one.
Do you have to get the dust before you get a chance of getting the ornament kits? Or is it possible to land the ornament kit before the dust?
It is possible to get the kit before dust :)
Is question 19 "Should the chance of getting grubs from chests in the Chambers of Xeric be based on Thieving levels?" not included in this?
I only see question 20 in the post.
That poll question was the highest rated of the two. The highest rated yes vote was for obtaining multiple grubs from the chest rather than just the flat increase of obtaining grubs in general based on thieving levels.
is it same drop rate as dust?
We haven't released drop rates for the kit itself but we can confirm they are not the same.
From now on, Vanguards will have a visual cue if their health is either too high or low.
The final Chambers of Xeric change, which will add a HUD to Vanguards and bosses, is still in development. We'll update you with an estimated release date nearer the time.
I'm a bit confused, why are you adding both of these? Isn't that just excessive visual clutter?
The visual cue is rather an animation that plays on the vanguards themselves so shouldn't be too much clutter. The HUD and cue were both things that passed the poll which is why we did them.
They didn’t ask for questions in the thread. Just that they have a few questions they’ll be answering about the next update and still talking about poll 71 for some reason
I do ask for questions in the post above and have already placed quite a few of them from this Reddit thread in the document for today. We are just finishing the last few player questions from Poll 71 that we didn't get to when we last did a Q&A (it's only about 3-4 of them). Hope this clarifies!
We'll be live on twitch.tv/oldschoolrs today from 5pm BST!
On the virtual livestream we will have the following J-mods:
Mod Acorn
Mod Arcane
Mod Husky
Mod Sween
We plan to finish our discussion on Poll 71 and with Darkmeyer coming out June 4th, we will answer a few questions regarding the release.

Love the vanguard changes btw!
That one hasn't been done with this week's game update but it is currently being developed now so fingers crossed!
Any eta on vespula pet morph?
We had some issues with it's ready animation (as in when the player is standing still and it's not flying) hoping to iron those out with the graphics team as soon as possible and put them back into QA for testing.
Can you clarify how polls are intended to work these days? As far as I can see, every question concerning the Vanguards in the poll received a yes vote lower than 75%. Yet, todays update contains various changes to the Vanguards including guaranteeing an overload drop, despite the poll only receiving a 66% yes vote.
To be clear, I have no opinion on the change itself. Doesn't matter to me. What matters to me is the polling methodology - when OSRS released it was made abundantly clear that no updates would occur without a 75% approval rate. What's changed? This seems to be a deviation from the core beliefs that has led to the success of OSRS so far. Maybe I've missed something.
Unfortunately the poll results on the website don't factor in the skip votes (we tried fixing it once but it broke the website). If you check the poll results via the poll booth in-game you will see all of the vanguard changes did in fact pass with over 75% of the votes.
In line with the brutal green dragon being acceptable for the killing a green dragon step, would it be possible for the trimmed and god-decorated rune platebody variants to be accepted by falo the bard for his clue step?
I'll bring the suggestion forward to the developer that did the brutal green dragon change in the Friday game update review meeting and see their thoughts. Thanks for the suggestion!
as in when the player is standing still and it's not flying
Does that mean the pet with flying toggled is going to have its current sitting stance, and only fly when the player is moving?
I think it was more of just when the player was standing still the pet was jittering and glitching out as it was trying to fly. The flying morph is still expected to fly in place when a player is idle. Hope that helps!
