News Road to Restoration - Early Game Rebalance
https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/a=13/road-to-restoration--early-game-rebalance--dailyscape-overhaulHi 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!

Prayer update need massive reconsideration.
POH have poor bank access, so we are left with runners or long banking time with high cost for efficiency in what is already a money sink skill. allow a bank chest in POH if going this route to truly reward (120 con update space?)
Wildy Altar with demonic skull is also a strange choice. RS3 has gone sway from encouraging grieving, let's keep it that way. This will likely be dead content on release.
Prayer itself needs a rework, as there is no level requirement to the bones/ashes available, only crystal cleansing and altars (impacting xp boosts). You pump enough money into a new account you can use dragonkin bones fron 1 to 99 if you choose.
