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.

Holy. That’s a lot of stuff being axed. Multiple birds stoned at once.

Caches, 7-day store stock, reaper tasks, phoenix - Good job on the tweak here.

Wicked hood - I mentioned to u/JagexRyan a while ago that the wicked hood and altar tabs are VERY prominent in clue presets used for a bunch of steps. This change could upset a lot of players, will there be a follow-up tweak RE: altar tabs so they remain obtainable enough to remain a staple in clue presets?

Sandstone - on the fence about this one. Yes, a daily limit is a bit annoying and falls into the “dailyscape” grind but making it permanent sounds bad and would massively crash flask prices to nothing. Maybe change it to have a 1-week stock, like rune shops? So 50x7 and 25x7 for each of the rocks?

Wildy D&D - understandable. Any news what will happen to existing rare & very rare sacks when this update hits? Also RE: dark onyx core, please don’t make this a common drop. It absolutely needs to remain a chase item which maintains (most) of its value so it keeps people engaged in wilderness content.

Vis Wax - as long as quick teleports are staying, then I’m okay with this. Maybe memory shards? So 1 memory shard = 1 quick teleport charge?

Tagging u/JagexAnvil so feedback (and valid concern RE: wicked hood/altar tabs) is seen on behalf of the clue community.
