We’ve been following your feedback closely since launch and wanted to share a quick update on what we’re seeing, what we’re investigating, and what we’re already acting on.

XP Balancing
Thanks for your feedback on XP rates.
Right now, XP is coming in faster than intended, largely because the most efficient approach is to rush straight to the boss and complete the dungeon as quickly as possible.
We’re looking to rebalance how XP is distributed so that more of it comes from fully exploring a dungeon, rather than only following the critical path.
The intention isn’t to reduce the total amount of XP available, but to shift more of it into bonus rooms and optional exploration, so taking the time to clear and explore feels more rewarding.

Mob & Boss Balancing
We’ve seen a lot of feedback that mobs and bosses are feeling weaker than expected.
We’re currently investigating this, as it looks like some enemies may be spawning at lower levels than intended. Once we’ve confirmed the cause, we’ll look at making the right adjustments.

Ammo Binding
We know the current single ammo bind slot feels restrictive, especially when choosing between Necromancy and Ranged setups.
We’re discussing a few options here, including potentially increasing the number of ammo bind slots, as well as improving the experience around creating runes and ectoplasm inside Daemonheim.

Quick Note
Just to set expectations, this is a snapshot of the feedback we’re actively discussing right now. It doesn’t mean every point listed here will result in a change, as some may not be feasible or may not align with the long-term design direction of DG. But we’ll keep you updated as things land.

Some of these changes are already in progress, while others will take a bit more time to investigate and implement.
We’re aiming to get updates out as soon as they’re ready. If something doesn’t make it into Monday’s update, it’s likely to follow in the weeks shortly after.

Hotfixes
We’ve already rolled out a number of fixes based on your reports:

• Players affected by the Ring of Kinship Necromancy passive reset issue have now had refunds manually added
• Fixed an issue where runes could not be bound inside Dungeoneering
• Fixed an issue in the flower roots puzzle where small plants could continue cycling colours after the large plant had been uprooted
• Fixed an issue with the coloured ferret puzzle where some rooms weren’t completing properly
• Fixed issues with the coloured bookcase puzzle, including rooms not unlocking correctly
• Fixed an issue where the 'Kinprovements' achievement could not be completed

Feedback We’re Monitoring
Here are some of the areas we’re continuing to watch closely and discuss internally:

• Warped stone only dropping for players who damage the boss
• Highlighting rooms on the map for keys you own
• Lower-level players being blocked by puzzle requirements
• Dual-wield Ruinous weapons requiring 2 warped stones
• Ability to move the Dungeoneering map in edit mode
• Gatestone icons overriding start and boss room icons
• Adding a ‘fully upgrade’ option for Ring of Kinship classes
• Marmaros’s name visibility before being discovered in the lore

Hey 'Scapers! 

For those interested in Cosmetics, we're launching this one stop shop monthly series to give you all the info on recent and upcoming releases in the Marketplace!

Today we wanted to:

• Give you the opportunity to let us know what kind of cosmetics you would like to see enter the marketplace!
• Share what has recently been added to the marketplace (this week and before).
• Preview what is planned for release in the near future.
• Provide a heads up on what is rotating out of the marketplace.

Get involved!

Our plans for the Marketplace are that it should be broadly relevant to the content releasing at the time. For example, the Powers of the Occult pack that released this week is meant to sit alongside this week's Dungeoneering update. 

However, there may be times where a marketplace drop may not have an accompanying game update that it is tied to. These drops give us an opportunity to step away from the immediately relevant content and work on something a little more thematic! Importantly, we want to ensure that we are continually improving the detail and quality of these special outfits to make them feel more worthwhile.

For example, a few weeks ago, we released the Sandwich Lady bundle - this was the first step towards thinking about how we could bring back some of the more iconic character looks of RuneScape history that may not be present within the game anymore. 

However, before we progress much further down that route, we wanted to check in the community and ask you:

• What have been your favourite cosmetic outfits or overrides that that have come through the marketplace in recent years? (e.g. Solite or Lunar Armour)
• What are some examples of new cosmetic outfits or overrides that you would love to see on the marketplace and that you would consider acquiring yourself? 
• Are there certain characters or character outfits that you'd love to see? (e.g. Sandwich Lady)
• Are there certain themes that you'd love to see? (e.g. a Prifddinas theme)
• Conversely, its important to also hear which outfits you feel very strongly about that should not appear as cosmetics in the game. Understanding this will help ensure that our guardrails for cosmetics match those that the community feels most strongly about.

 

Gaining insight on the above questions will help ensure that the marketplace continues to develop cosmetics and overrides that you agree fit well into RuneScape and that you also consider valuable.

Dungeoneering

Finally, while we have released todays topic as per our schedule, we do know that the Dungeoneering Remaster still remains at the forefront of everyone's focus, including ours! With that in mind, you can look forward to us sharing our thoughts for what we're considering with regards to XP, boss health, ammo binding (plus a full list of bugs/other feedback we have) tomorrow.

Firstly just want to say that yesterdays update was great and has really breathed a lot of life back into Dungeoneering.

There are just some areas which very clearly should be polished/improved.

Feedback

• Boss HP is far too low. Bosses die in 2-3 abilities.
• Fixing skill doors to work at all levels was a great change. Puzzle rooms should get the exact same treatment. Hard skill locks are not enjoyable.
• Completing every room in a dungeon doesn't feel even close to rewarding enough.
  • This was something highlighted in the blog that you'd be addressing "we want players to explore", however completing a full dungeon vs leaving rooms unexplored amounts to roughly a 2-3% exp increase.
    • If you want to encourage players to complete full dungeons, this exp boost needs to be WAY WAY WAY WAY bigger. Im talking like double exp for a full completion
• Solo exp rates need a lot of juice.
  • They do not need to be better than 5 mans, but equally they should not be so far away. The gap is huge right now.
• Doors are kind of hard to see on warped floors.
• We should be able to rearrange bound items in the bound setup.
• In the blog you mention that the critical path will be more obvious... What about it is more obvious?
• I believe that warped stones only have a chance at dropping for players who damage the final boss? This is bad as in larger dungeons, players frequently will be on other sides of the map when a boss room is discovered, often leading to only some of the party damaging the boss.
  • Warped stone should have a chance at being dropped for everybody in the party.
• Low complexity seems far too good for exp?
• The ruinous weapon effect is not great. It turns the pinnacle of dungeoneering rewards into glorified niche slayer sticks.
  • Could the effect be changed to intsead boost Ruinous weapon damage to T100 inside of Elite Dungeons?
    • This better serves mid game players making the jump into endgame PVM by providing an attainable stepping stone pre-legendary weapon.
• The Dungeoneering Reward Necklaces have the exact same accuracy bonus as a stalker charm, a considerably lower tier amulet.
  • Buff the accuracy on these amulets to 150-200. This would be very beneficial for mid game players.
  • The Blood variants of these necklaces are currently bugged and don't actually have the accuracy stat.
• Ruinous weapons should be 200k cheaper (100k for dual wield) but require a chaotic to create.
  • This is because, as it currently stands, buying a chaotic as a player looking to progress their weapon would be actively griefing yourself, as you're going to be destroying it and losing half your tokens once you have a ruinous item. tldr; ITS COUNTERINTUITIVE.
  • If this were to happen, Ruinous Longswords, Claws, and Spear need to be added, as there would be no logical reason for anybody to obtain the chaotic variants of these weapons, on grounds you cannot upgrade them.

Suggestions

• Monsters/Bosses inside DH should reward significantly boosted combat exp
  • This gives players the ability to get stuck into dungeoneering & progress their combat stats at the same time. Currently, your combat stats level VERY slowly compared to the rate your dungeoneering level increases. IE currently you unlock chaotics around level 40-50 combat stats. I should be getting to 70 DG around level 60-70 in my combat stats.
• Chaotics should only require level 70 in combat stats to wield, but retain their T80 Damage/Accuracy Bonuses.
• Hard Mode should be accessible to everyone and not just a reward from the elite diary.
• Hard Mode should reward better exp than regular mode
• Hard Mode should have better drop rates for warped gems than regular mode

Very recently, I made a post here asking for the community’s opinion on whether I should make a main account or an Ironman account. Since maxing my main and not really feeling the grind toward 120s, I decided to jump in and make an Ironman based on the feedback, and I have to say, I’m loving it so far.

What really stands out immediately is just how f’ing good the Mining & Smithing rework is for this game. Compared to OSRS, where Smithing is basically pointless for most of the game, since you need 99 just to make a rune platebody, RS3’s progression feels so much more natural and smooth. It’s great to know that you can actually acquire some very good armour throughout the whole game, from early to mid to endgame, just by using the skills you train.

Since I’ve also been an endgame player in RuneScape for a very, very long time, it’s such a breath of fresh air to do all the new early to midgame content this game has to offer. It’s stuff I would not even consider doing on my main.

On top of that, with the removal of TH, the ability to use the classic UI layout, the toggle for cosmetics, the upcoming player avatar update, and so much more, I’m genuinely hyped for this game again.

The more I play, the more I wonder why RS3 is so much less popular than OSRS. Of course, the game needs time to heal, and a lot of damage has been done. But at its core, this is an awesome game, with so many QoL updates that OSRS does not have. It makes RS3 a very pleasant and cosy game to play, whether you’re actively playing or just AFKing.

To wrap this up, I just want to say that I really hope this game gets an influx of new players soon. The Road to Restoration will help with that massively, but I also think Jagex needs to focus on making the early game a little clearer. I can completely understand how overwhelming this game can be for newcomers.

Anyway, I’m sure they’ll figure it out. I’m really looking forward to what the future holds for this game.

It's a level 95 dungeoneering unlock and the only benefit it has is the single bloodwood tree

The AL kharid hidden mine resource dungeon is level 75 and has way more than the 95 dungeon the implings aren't even unique to the 95 dungeon since the 75 one does the same minus the off chance at a crystal impling

Did they seriously not think removing the divine locations from there and the cards would kill that resource dungeon completely?
