Forestry: Part One
We’re back with more changes to Forestry!
First up, we’re making Forestry Events less cluttered. Box Traps, Fires and Flowers will now automatically be removed if they’re on a tile where Forestry Events could spawn. In addition, Dwarven Multicannons will auto-decay when placed on tiles occupied by Forestry Events. You can claim a new cannon from Nulodion.
Random events will also no longer spawn in range of Forestry events – sorry, sandwich lovers!
We’ve also made a few changes to Forestry events themselves, starting with Flowering Tree. As of today’s update, bushes that spawn during this event will come in a variety of different colours to make matching them easier. Don’t worry – their flashy new colours have been incorporated into the names of the bushes, so colourblind players need only right-click to see which bush is which.
Alongside making the visual changes, players that have a Bee on a Stick consumed when a Flowering Tree event spawns will receive significantly more bark for their final reward and more bark per action. We've also made scaling work so that the difficulty scales based on the number of people with a Bee on a Stick cutting the tree rather than how many people are cutting the tree. As always, we will continue to monitor this event and discuss any major feedback concerns.
We’ve also made the Magic Root from Rising Roots change position more frequently, making the event a bit more interactive to justify its high XP rates.
Now, over to the Forestry Shop, where Ultimate Iron players may now deposit logs via the Friendly Forester. Be warned though that this is a one-way transaction – you can’t get those logs back! We’ve also disabled sell-back options for Ultimate Iron players in this specific shop.
Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we’re unable to rollout this change to all players.
Also in the Forestry Shop, we’ve changed the description for the Funky-Shaped Log to make it more readable.
Lastly, we’ve made some improvements to the Collection Log, which now lists Forestry in the usual alphabetical order, and includes the Lumberjack Outfit in the Forestry section.
These are all the changes we have for Forestry at present, although we’ll be keeping an eye out to make sure everything is going smoothly. Roll on Part Two!
Jagex Accounts
This week brings another great reason to upgrade to a Jagex Account, in the form of 20 new Bank slots for Jagex Account characters!
Those of you who haven’t added an authenticator yet will actually get a whopping 40 Bank slots when you upgrade – after all, the Jagex Account already has a built-in authenticator, so you’re killing two birds with one stone!
Don’t forget, we’re also discussing an extra-special Stronghold of Security bonus for Jagex Account holders. We’ve seen some of the concepts and it’s looking mighty fancy – so don’t delay, upgrade today!
Upgrading is simple and gets you safe, secure access to all your Old School RuneScape characters from one simple login. What are you waiting for? Go check it out!
