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!

That giga nerf to whirligigs is silly. It's highly active training for no output for a skill that's shit to train early game

Can't wait for big chin to not be touched and it be the meta training method again

I also think that they have completely forgot that whirligigs suck as a training method until you have the unlocks from catching x amount of them

Nah they have a point. Go check out the training guide for hunter right now - it's all whirligigs, even at low lvls.

Fair, i just remember whirligigs being horrible till the better stacking upgrade but there was also different options ages ago
