Agility is a difficult skill which isn’t very rewarding. That doesn’t make sense. Difficult should mean awesome rewards! My suggestion is to add the following.you buy runescape gold.

-Agility abilities. They would help you with running and dodging attacks during combat
-Add more Agility shortcuts which would be used very commonly and are quite high levelled
-Make Agility levels effect run energy more. Because now it’s almost impossible to run out of run energy, even with a low Agility level

ABILITIES

Level 4 – Stamina Boost – Boosts your Run Energy by 10. Cool down time 40 seconds. Available to F2P
Level 17 – Speed Boost – Increases the speed of your character considerably. Cool down time 60 seconds
Level 45 – Dodge – You dodge your enemy’s next attack by rolling to the side. Doesn’t work 100% of the time, higher Agility levels will increase success rate. Cool down time 45 seconds
Level 74 – Back Flip Counter, 100% Adrenaline – You dodge your enemy’s next attack by back flipping , and landing on top of your opponent causing damage. Your character then rolls back to let your enemy up. Agility levels increase the damage this ability does. Cool down time 60 seconds
Level 90 – Meditate – You sit down in a meditation pose, which allows your run energy, health and reduced stats to restore faster. Prayer Points are also boosted by 10. This ability takes 30 seconds and has a Cool down time of 120 seconds

SHORTCUTS

Varrock Sewers – 77 Agility – You may be familiar with the area in Varrock Sewers with the Scorpions. There is a puddle there and on the other side of the puddle, there are skeletons. This shortcut allows you to jump over the puddle

Chaos Temple – 89 Agility – In the Wilderness, there is a wrecked building on a piece of land surrounded almost completely with lava. This shortcut would be at the southern point of this piece of land and there will be rocks which you can jump on to get to the other side. If you fail this shortcut however, you lose 50% of your (current) health.

White Knight’s Castle (Falador Castle) – Requires 92 Agility – The only way to get onto the island in Falador with the Castle is the bridge at the north of Falador. This shortcut allows you to also access it at the south by jumping on rocks.

Wilderness: River Lum – Requires 17 Agility – The River Lum ends at Wilderness Level 6. This shortcut would be a way to jump over the river at Level 3 Wilderness.

Alright, I’ve done a lot of edits now that a few days have passed. Here are some thoughts.

First off, I would like to say that I’m fine with the 1k supplies per camp limit, not being able to hop with supplies, and that supplies can be dropped on death. While supplies dropped on death will promote trust trades (and it already has), it makes sense. While this post does talk about those changes, it’s more specifically about the 7 hour sync.runescape money.

Now that you’ve made it perfectly in sync, there’ll be even less people pking once again. There’ll be no time to war if you’re wanting to rush from world to world to get 75. Warbands are now only for an hour a day (20 mins per wave x 3 waves per day).

Additionally, you can see how many players are no longer doing warbands. I’ve gone to several worlds where no one/not many people even showed up to the camp. This update not only discouraged looters, but several pkers. This isn’t necessarily specifically linked to the 7 hour sync, but this update did push a lot of players out of there, and the wilderness is quite dead again.

With this 7 hour sync, it elminates several players who want to warband. Not a lot of players can be on for the specific times that warbands go off now. Please, make the 7 hour cool down shorter, or make the worlds out of sync again. I thought you wanted people in the wilderness 24/7 again, like has been for the last 2 months. This 7 hour limit puts a few thousand, if even, players into the wild for 20-30 minutes a day. That’s a step backwards if you ask me.

You’re restricting those with IRL things or different play schedules to missing out on a piece of content. And with the “glitch” that happens when you miss a day, you’re turning even more players off from doing this piece of content.

These are several peoples’ ideas, not just mine. More ideas on post 5.

? Add BENEFITS for those looting besides the wand. Why would I loot? I won’t be able to have food on me, so I’d be pked quickly, even if there’s only 1 pker per world.

? Remove/shorten the 7 hour sync. This makes the wilderness dead for those inactive times, is unfair to those on certain timezones or with jobs/school/etc, and will be the major deathblow to this DnD and the wilderness. Making it every 1-4 hours would be much better.

? Rollback this update and nerf the xp. A lot more people would be much happier with this. This allows people to still participate in the D and D, but it’d be much less rewarding.

? Make supplies stackable. How are we supposed to defend ourselves with very little space for food, potions, etc? With the increase in pkers and the overall decrease in the number of people doing warbands, not being able to have too many supplies will turn a lot of people away from doing this DnD.

? Extend the time active on warband camps. This would allow more people to loot/pk while the camps are active, instead of only staying up for 5-10 minutes. If it were maybe 2-5x longer, people would be able to loot/pk their three camps without having to wait that 7 hour period.

Please fix this somehow.

Questions I have (to other players/jagex):

? How is selling supplies different from the ranks? Still a trust trade.

? What about those on different timezones that are not on your schedule?

? I already see threads popping up for warband chats that are world specific. Is this what was intended? To have 90+ chats that are world specific, clogging up the games and forums? Groups still run warbands, just not one group.

? Does the 75 per day reset at the SOF reset, or after 24 hours of the 3 camps are looted? I’m hearing a lot of people saying 24 hours now.

Does pking someone with even 1 supply, but not turning it to Querc, count as a 1 of the 3 camps now?
