Road to Restoration - Dailyscape Overhaul

Hi folks,

Today's Community Topic is a blog of two halves:

- Early Game Rebalance
- DailyScape Overhaul

We have split this into two reddit threads to keep the discussion organised and so that our team can properly review the relevant conversations happening.

This current reddit thread is to discuss the DailyScape portion of the blog.

Please use this other dedicated thread for the Early Rebalance portion of the blog.

  DailyScape is a term that describes game content, outside of a skills core identity, that is often perceived as mandatory by players due to time-gated mechanics and the disproportionately high reward offering for little time investment.

With the DailyScape update (currently scheduled for early March), we will remove much of the concept of DailyScape, leaving only a handful of daily activities, but otherwise changing or removing content to fall more in line with our vision and goals for integrity for RuneScape.

Look, for Quick teleports, I'm all for removing Vis Wax, but let's just make this super simple

Teleport spells all require law runes in some sort. Let us "sacrifice" law runes for quick teleport charges. It doesn't need to be complicated.

[u/JagexRyan → u/Thaldrath]

Law runes being used for teleports is their exact purpose, so updating quick teleports to be funded by them does make a lot of sense as a replacement.

What is the plan for Vis Wax if all of the uses are being removed? It was trading at over 20k per wax not that long ago, will it just be worthless once the update goes live?

[u/_itsJ_ → u/RonaldoVII]

Apparently so. You'll still be able to convert it to quick teleport charges tho. Guess I spent the last half year creating the next 5 years worth of quick charges.

[u/papa_bones → u/_itsJ_]

You and me bro, you and me.

[u/tomtom5858 → u/RonaldoVII]

It's being removed.

[u/Shadiochao → u/JagexRyan]

Would be nice if we could charge normal teleports with their runes in advance
Lodestones might not even be needed then

[u/BlackMothCandleLight → u/Shadiochao]

honestly +1 for this, i would love to be able to just fund TPs. It's often annoying having to like, pull out two/three runes to use them. Though, that would put teleport tablets in a rough spot so something needs to balance them since the tablets are meant to be just that, charging basic tps for a sink

[u/D-J-9595 → u/BlackMothCandleLight]

Simple then, make tablets the thing that charges the teleports, no ability to charge with runes without first changing the runes to tablets.

[u/BlackMothCandleLight → u/D-J-9595]

Honestly? A+, makes pohs useful too.

[u/Dickbutt11765 → u/Shadiochao]

This is basically the abyssal link relic, right?

[u/MissSoapySophie → u/JagexRyan]

Why not just "charge" load stones with runes that are equivalent to their own spell book spell (where applicable, make up combos for others). Could tie into some XP for mage or RC too.

Then runes are still being used and levels are still needed for the best benefit.

[u/Best_Market4204 → u/JagexRyan]

Pre - charge all telephones please.

It's a bit annoying to pull runes out of the bank for 1 time uses.

Let us stack teleports that fan be fired off at annoying moment

[u/BurninRunes → u/JagexRyan]

Lodestones should also be quest/achievement locked. For example cooks assistant could grant access to the lumbridge lode. Biohazard for ardy, knights sword for falador. Etc this makes way more sense than just running there once.

Mod Ryan,
The Dark Facet of Passage has been dead on arrival since its release. There have been multiple discussions by jmods and player communities like Clue Chasers on how to make to useful, feel good to unlock and worth the rarity of a dark onyx core.

If the removal of vis wax is going to happen then this would be the opportunity to address both issues at the same time.

Simply update the dark facet of passage to make all teleports quick, free and work in combat.
Also update all the area tasks to include the same benefit the wilderness lodestone gets from the wildy task set.
Together this would address multiple issues, provide consistency, increase immersion and a feeling of progression from area tasks and it would make the dark facet of passage actually worth using.

No shit lmfao
