Wayne 289 Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) This Q&A is mostly based on the Development of Runex, I'm sure a few players would be pleased with some answers. @Ryan Have you noticed an impact on the economy since the release of the Rune Coin Exchange? - I have There's been questions about the Ring of Wealth (i) giving a drop rate bonus of "7.5%", is this True or False? - If False, can you provide the true %? Does the Elixir of Luck provide a 7.5% drop rate bonus, considering it supposedly has the same effects as the Ring of Wealth (i)? Can you tell us the rarest item from the Donator Mystery Box? Will there be a Costume Room added to PoH's so players can free up cosmetics in their bank? Is there a reason the maps don't work properly? - Hosting Hide & Seeks is a bit challenging when you don't have access around the game. Will there ever be a rank past Legendary Donator Rank? ($1,000+ total donated) What made you choose the server name "Runex"? - Is it linked to the discontinued RSPS known as Rune-X from 2013? Thoughts on changing the rewards from achievements? - Ex; Normal Mode gets a Crystal Key for 99 Mining, apposed to Prime Mode getting an Epic Crystal Key. If you missed the last Q&A, view it here to see answers from Ryan, Ramzi, & Nate! Have a question for Ryan? - I'm sure he wouldn't mind answering below Edited October 29, 2017 by Wayne 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 873 Posted October 29, 2017 Have you noticed an impact on the economy since the release of the Rune Coin Exchange? Yes, our intention was to stimulate more activity in the economy. We will continue to extend it with more content in the future. There's been questions about the Ring of Wealth (i) giving a drop rate bonus of "7.5%", is this True or False? - If False, can you provide the true %? True Does the Elixir of Luck provide a 7.5% drop rate bonus, considering it supposedly has the same effects as the Ring of Wealth (i)? Yeah Can you tell us the rarest item from the Donator Mystery Box? Ancestral Will there be a Costume Room added to PoH's so players can free up cosmetics in their bank? It's something I could see us doing (I believe I read this suggestion on the forums in the past) but it wouldn't be a priority Is there a reason the maps don't work properly? - Hosting Hide & Seeks is a bit challenging when you don't have access around the game. World data for unchecked/unused regions will most likely need to be fixed Will there ever be a rank past Legendary Donator Rank? ($1,000+ total donated) Most likely, yes What made you choose the server name "Runex"? - Is it linked to the discontinued RSPS known as Rune-X from 2013? It was a pretty spontaneous choice, there was no affiliation with any other projects (such as the one linked from 2013) Thoughts on changing the rewards from achievements? - Ex; Normal Mode gets a Crystal Key for 99 Mining, apposed to Prime Mode getting an Epic Crystal Key. I like the idea, and we may consider it next time we revisit the achievement system for polishing The task scroll update https://runex.io/forums/index.php?/topic/507-february-15th-2017-new-task-scroll-system-and-much-more/ The claws/skin drop 100%, and we decided to keep the mole exchange reward rates static Brown, dogs Fun, hopefully memorable activities for the community It hasn't been a priority since we have the staff of the dead, but it may be considered in the future. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lava 24 Posted October 29, 2017 @Ryan Tbh the seasonal events are one of the coolest parts of runex, they add in a special little niche thing to do for a period of time that is always rewarding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iron Logic 910 Posted October 29, 2017 I have a few questions @Ryan; Ryan, Why do you still have the default forum profile picture? Have you ever thought of adding clue scrolls on top of task scrolls? More challenging, higher requirements etc. Are there any plans to rework the farming skill? I had suggested it a while ago: https://runex.io/forums/index.php?/topic/2362-mega-suggestion-post/ : Are there any plans to make 'Elixirs' more readily available to ironmen? See here: https://runex.io/forums/index.php?/topic/2578-elixirs/ What is the exact barrows drop rate and is it effected by any form of luck enhancement? Still 170 dry on my ironman Are there any plans to add firemaking specific or requiring content? It is currently a pretty unused skill. Thoughts on adding a 'barrows' daily money maker? Are you happy with the infernal fight caves and do you think is fits with Runex's previous content? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan 873 Posted October 30, 2017 @Logical Ryan, Why do you still have the default forum profile picture? Changed it, thank you for reminding me Have you ever thought of adding clue scrolls on top of task scrolls? More challenging, higher requirements etc. I haven't thought about this, since task scrolls were meant to be a substitute for clue scrolls. They'd probably have to share similar loot tables, since there aren't many items left to exclusively reserve for clue scroll rewards. Are there any plans to rework the farming skill? I had suggested it a while ago: https://runex.io/forums/index.php?/topic/2362-mega-suggestion-post/ We do in fact plan on revisiting farming for an expansion, but there's no ETA Are there any plans to make 'Elixirs' more readily available to ironmen? See here: https://runex.io/forums/index.php?/topic/2578-elixirs/ They are primarily meant to be donator items, but we added a few methods of obtainment outside of it (crystal chests and medium task scrolls). There are no plans on adding new methods of obtainment, but that may change in the future. What is the exact barrows drop rate and is it effected by any form of luck enhancement? Still 170 dry on my ironman Rates are not disclosed at the moment, but there isn't any form of luck enhancement Are there any plans to add firemaking specific or requiring content? It is currently a pretty unused skill. There may be new features/items in the future that involve/require firemaking Thoughts on adding a 'barrows' daily money maker? We'll definitely consider this, not a bad idea! Are you happy with the infernal fight caves and do you think is fits with Runex's previous content? I think we could have done better, and it's something we would most likely revisit and polish some time 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
