Brimes Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/4vuv85/tldw_216_qa_august_the_month_ahead/ Mining and Smithing Postponement We plan on releasing it next year now. Reasons: Lack of Feeback from Players (Jagex's Fault) Combat Drops Crystal Pickaxe/Hatchet People wanted Mining Shafts Masterwork Smithing appearing complicated. Future Development Make it enjoyable since nobody was excited for it. Make it simplistic. More discussions with the players. Make it feel completed on launch. August Update Schedule 8th: Wilderness Improvements 15th: The Beach 22nd: Patch Week 30th: Skilling Pets + Catherby & Whitewolf Mountain Graphical Rework Monday is a bank holiday so this update will be released on Tuesday (August 30th). Potential September Updates These updates are ideas and are not guaranteed to come out in September. The Raffle will be replaced. Bounty Hunter and Deathmatch Mode. Invention Additions Augment-able Pickaxes + Graphical Rework Mining Rocks Tech-Tree Balancing Dagannoth King Hard Mode/Graphical Rework Currency Pouch/Wallet Add all currencies in-game, including minigame currencies. Favorite 4-5 to appear on a quick load-out. Dungeon Graphical Reworks Double Xp Weekend' Other Augmented Dyed Weapons are done and the armors are coming along. We want to release it all in a single release, and it's not ready yet. Rough ETA: End of August and Early September Catherby/White Wolf Mountain Graphical Reworks The beach will remain in Catherby. The Ice Queen cavern will remain untouched. Vitalis will be in the interface and you will no longer be able to get duplicates sometime in the next 2 months. Wilderness Task Set + Additions Bandit Camp Unskulled players will be attacked by the Bandits. Bandits are equipped with Granite Mauls, Dark Bows, Staff of Light, and Wildy Wyrm weapons. Bandit Duty Free - General Store Sell supplies at 90% of the price you'd normally pay. Broad arrowheads, Gold Leafs, Marble Bricks, Stone of Binding, Reinforcing Plate, Algarum thread and a Bloodweed seed (new). Divination Training Location: Wilderess Crater/Sword of Edicts. Harvest Curse Wisps to gather Cursed energy and Cursed memories. 10 Cursed Energy can be turned into 15 of any other type of energy. Xp Rates scale based on your level. Provides the best Divination Xp rates in-game. Hunter/Agility Training Location: just west of Daemonheim in level 28 Wilderness. Requirements: 88 Hunter and 83 Agility Charming Moth are too big for a butterfly net and must be caught barehanded. Provides Summoning Charms. Prayer Training Location: Chaos Altar level 12 Wilderness. Acts like a lit gilded altar. Farming/Herblore Training New Location: North of the Wilderness Canoe location (Moss Giants), level 38 Wilderness. Grow any herb + the only location to grow Bloodweed. Bloodweed is used for 3 new potions: Luck Potion: Requires crushed dragonstone and provides the ring of wealth effect for an hour. Camouflage Potion: Requires Black Salamander and hides your minimap dot for a minute. Aggression Potion: Requires Searing Ashes makes all NPCs aggressive to you. Requires 57-82 Herblore. Luck/Aggression Potions are trade-able, the Camouflage Potion is not. Thieving Training Pick-pocketing Rogues work like pick-pocketing Elves in Prifddinas. Getting caught means you can't pickpocket anymore on the same floor for 30 seconds. Provide coins (in your inventory) and Bloodweed seeds. Wilderness Slayer Contracts Erskine's Location: North Edgeville. Similar to Slayer Tower contacts but with creatures in the wilderness. Provides 20% more Slayer XP. Contracts creatures: Fire Giants: Deep Wildness Dungeon (old) Greater Demons: Wilderness Volcano/Demonic Ruins (old) Hellhounds: Wilderness Volcano (old) Gargoyles: West Ruins (new) Waterfiends: Near Daemonheim coast (new) Black demons: South of Demonic Ruins (new) Abyssal Demons: Near the ridge near Forinthry Dungeon (new) Dark beasts: In Forinthry Dungeon (new) Ice Strykewyrms: Near the Ice Giants in the North West Wilderness (new) Lava Strykewyrms: Existing Location (old) Kal'gerion demons: Demonic Ruins (new) Demonic Skull Purchased from the Mage of Zamorak. Provides bonus xp that scales based on the level of the skill being trained. Works with Farming, Divination, Hunter, and Slayer while in the Wilderness, and Runecrafting in the abyss. Task Set Rewards Task Set Reward Lists In-game Model of Wilderness Swords Levels 40, 50, 60, 70 respectively. There's a reclaim cost and a cash value if you kill a player with it. Other We still need to fill the pocket-slot with a task set. All the new potions can be used outside the wilderness. The Luck Potion does not stack with the Ring of Wealth. The new creatures will be aggressive if they normally are elsewhere. Wilderness Slayer contracts are dropped on death will all progress being transferred to the Pker. Team Cape sellers are now banks. You can be attacked while using a bank and you cannot use the bank while in combat. Resources are static because of a lack of developer time and to allow pkers to easily find people. The Wilderness Task set is the reason why there's a lack of Ninja fixes lately. There are about 33 Wilderness Tasks and they are all required for the Completionist Cape. The Beach General Information Release/End Date: August 15th - September 12th Spotlit activities will provide more xp than normal. Happy Hour will spotlight all activities. There will be a Beach Dev Q&A Stream next week. Returning Content All beach items Cocktails All titles New Content Hook-a-Duck provides Hunter XP Replaces 1 of the Coconut Shy stands. Terrorbird Racing provides Agility XP. Agility xp is rewarded based on how fast you complete the race. Added 5 new recolours to the Terrorbird outfits. New titles but you have to discover them. Other There will be global and world hiscores for Terrorbird Racing. Terrorbird bird outfits will be provided for those who don't own them but they will only be temporary for a day. Skilling Pets General Information 19 Skilling Pets for all the skills except Combat skills, Prayer, and Summoning. Gathering skills have the same chance to drop the pet regardless of the resource. Production skills have greater chance to drop the pet with greater xp drops. The higher your virtual level the higher chance you have at receiving the pet. Other There will be new titles. You can use them as familiar overrides. There are first person and first Ironman broadcasts. Players with 200m xp will have to earn the pets like everyone else. Skilling pets will display the players XP in the respective skill. Protean resources currently will NOT provide a chance at the skilling pet. Skilling and Boss pets will be separated in their own interfaces. Link to comment
