I see that Mod Oasis is also a fan of amateur baking... My gf and I loved seeing that reference :D
Nice spot :P
Hey Gambit, how come there is no snow in Lumbridge this year?
I don't think there's a particular reason other than the snow in Varrock indicates where the event is.
quick question. can you add twisted horns onto any colour variant of slayer helm? eg the black KBD one ?
Hey n_Gh, I think you'll have to add it to a base Slayer helm because it counts as a unique variant.
Any chance you can give pet hydra a party or santa hat like the other pets?
Maybe in the future! We couldn't commit that much of the graphics teams time to putting hats on more things this year - they're very busy with the other big projects we have going on, like the Morytania expansion.
Were crystal tools ever updated from the poll a few weeks ago?
A lot of that stuff will have to wait until early next year since there's so much to dev and test.
Can't believe that you guys put in a new best in slot shield without it polling? how times have changed..
Lol
I get on fine with the kitchen boys, they're great guys. It's just that after faceless guest # infinity says the same thing it starts to become meaningless. As a company serving so many customers you can pretend to care about individual opinions but it's not really true.
Glad to hear - I was a waiter/barman before Jagex and I know a good relationship with kitchen bois makes a world of difference.
I hear what you're saying, but it really is my job to let the developers know how their content is received. Every morning after an update we meet to discuss it. I might not mention every username of people that commented but the messages get through.
Cant get the rewards until tomorrow? And django has nothing for me either
If your account is brand new, you'll have to wait.
That's what I say when people say "compliments to the cook" when I clean their table.
I very rarely do.
Maybe I get on better with Oasis than you do with your chef :P

Been waiting all year for more snowballs. Also just finished the Christmas quest love this years item. It's the best by far and wanted to say keep up the good work.
I'll pass your appreciation onto Mod Oasis :)
Saved 10k snowballs from last year time to get 10k more.
Whatever floats your boat.
Gaddam, dragon threshold is ~12k?
Y'all been working hard. Thought I was up there with my 8k pts...
The previous thresholds only showed claimed points rather than earned so there was a jump this week. Probably a steadier increase from now to the end of the league!
Nothing about graceful update?
Not this week - there are lots of changes from that poll to develop and test, so the majority will likely come after the New Year.
what on earth? not thursday, just got into a raid, didn't know there was an update today because there was no warning???
Sorry for the inconvenience - we did post about this on Twitter beforehands and give the usual countdown timer.
Thanks, I appreciate you taking time to explain, I'm less steamy about that moment now.
But please, there is a new generation who almost exclusively use mobile devices, or developing countries that mobile devices are more accessible. This game is one of the best on the Google Play store, and MMOs in general, help us and people around the world play it as originally intended.
My hopes of runelite mobile bringing it won't happen, so we need you to be our champion.
No worries, thanks for understanding. I can continue to make the case for this one, but I don’t expect it to be moved up the list.
I'm assuming the Ashihama raid will be a dangerous death for hcim?
It’s a single boss rather than a whole raid, but yes.
Jagex knows, they don't care though, mod Ash is kind enough to keep replying to this twitter post
And losers downvote the question every single Q&A, cause last time it got asked /u/jagexgambit mocked us for asking saying "buy a laptop" and laughing too long at his own joke.
Hey Korobenicky. Sorry you’re not able to do this yet, truth be told there are just way higher priorities for the already stretched engine team.
It’s not that we’re against it, I’m actually in favour of this since there’s no reason not to be.
I hope there aren’t hard feelings - I didn’t intend to mock anyone. I was amused by the idea of a someone playing a desktop game on their mobile, only to turn their mobile into a de facto desktop.
Just one of those things I couldn’t hold in. You know when you shouldn’t laugh at something and that just make it a lot worse. Anyway. That doesn’t mean the whole idea is veto’d. I reckon we’ll have it eventually.
Read moreI agree with the change, but y'all said you weren't going to change anything in twisted and I spent 4 hours hunting young implings for a lockpick so I'm a little salty
That's fair enough, and we're sorry that your time has been undermined. We knew that'd be the case for some players and it wasn't an easy call to make. We concluded that it was still reasonably early (first quarter) of the league so the majority of players hadn't started that grind.
The volatile staff spec damage needs to scale with Magic level. It might be somewhat balanced in the high-lvl combat brackets where you have ags and ballista to compete, but it's honestly broken at lower brackets. With 75 Magic, 1 Def, 70 HP and 31 Prayer, wearing the volatile staff (my +1 item), occult and MA2 cape only I'm able to hit 73s, with potential of hitting another one 5 ticks later. That's a cb lvl of 57. Tell me how melee and ranged can hit 70s in that cb bracket. It can also easily be stacked with 1 gmaul spec, hitting up to 100 damage in a single tick.
The damage formula could be somthing like Magic/2 + 6, so base max hit is 44 damage with 76 Magic (max 55 with the setup above), 55 damage with 99 Magic, or 60 damage with 109 Magic (imbued heart, a 20m item).
I also think the harmonised staff is too good in PvP because trident can be used at all here. It's 25% better dps than previous 5-tick fire spells which already were the highest single-target dps spells. With 75 Magic and staff+occult+MA2 cape I can hit up to 37 every 4 tick with fire wave, or up to 45 with 95 Magic and fire surge while maintaining a very low combat level.
All this is because mage unlocks most of it's full power early on, with 95 Magic, 75 HP and 1 Def (> 70 cb lvl) you have access to every spell you care about and +32% magic damage bonus gear out of +38% in total. Melee and range have a much steadier progression where damage-boosting gear like bandos and void have higher reqs to wield.
EDIT:
A damage formula that scales with Magic level have now been added to the Volatile & Eldricht staves. They didn't specify any details about this formula, so I tested them in the POH to see what the new max hit was for each magic level. The numbers below are the base max hits without counting the staff's built-in magic damage. Magic potions and imbued heart DO raise your max hit, however the damage is capped at 99 Magic.
Volatile Staff
75 Magic - Base max hit of 44 (max 55 with staff+occult+MA2 cape)
80 Magic - Base max hit of 47 (max 59 with staff+occult+MA2 cape)
85 Magic - Base max hit of 50 (max 63 with staff+occult+MA2 cape)
90 Magic - Base max hit of 53 (max 67 with staff+occult+MA2 cape)
95 Magic - Base max hit of 56 (max 71 with staff+occult+MA2 cape)
99 Magic - Base max hit of 58 (max 73 with staff+occult+MA2 cape)
So you get about 3 max hits every 5 levels with a gradual increase in between. This seems good to me as the biggest problem was at lower combat brackets. 75 Magic is still its only req, but it seems they wanna add a 50 HP req in addition. All these are good changes imo. Also barely tested the Eldricht Staff which seem to follow the same pattern: Base 34 damage with 75 Magic, and base 44 damage with 99 Magic, also here it's capped at 99 Magic.
Thanks for this feedback. We'll reconsider the scaling.
