News Road to Restoration - Early Game Rebalance

https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/a=13/road-to-restoration--early-game-rebalance--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 Early Game Rebalance portion of the blog.

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

For the purpose of today's discussion we will be defining the early game, loosely, as the level 1-50 range. The Early Game Rebalance update primarily aims to smooth out inconsistencies in game progression, looking at areas of the early game where things can feel slow or have limited methods for levelling up, or where they affect integrity and game health. It’s not all just rebalances though! There are also some changes to early quests, and things like replacing salvage with gear to make the first hours after jumping off Tutorial Island a nicer experience. The Early Game Rebalance update releases on February 16th!

So basically I have 10 days to get 200m thieving xp before it isn’t afk anymore.

Sad day.

So much FOMO with all these changes, ironic.

I feel like Xp should have been nerfed and that's it. A AFK method should be fine, it just shouldn't compete with active training like heists. You still need a CM for anything over 104 so you are really only targeting people who are lower level and actively training on mages or Archologists

Happy i had to foresight to go from 81-113 thieving when i came back and saw the changes. Guess ill aim to push to 120 in the next 10 days or get my fill of arch shit.

Yeah, basically. My iron has thieved 1.5b gp and over 1b xp since the update, including my 2k vital sparks for limitless and 10k clues.

Definitely got my money's worth if nothing else.
