Amazing list of updates, QoLs and fixes, great work development team!

Slayer skill improvements and collection log in the near future. Part of me hopes that the collection log wont count prior to the update to give me a lot more gameplay :D 

Also, If you use any of my slayer suggestions I expect a 10% commission of all slayer points earned post update ❤️

this is honestly high fuckin quality. Love everything I'm readin here. The only thing i might question is - weren't hydra and sire's superior rates buffed because their standard droptables werent appealing enough? I do wonder if the buff to Hydra's droptable won't make it too good to farm in combination with it's high superior chance. Though I'm glad that if anything is rewarding content, its something you actually have to pay attention to like hydra.

The drop buffs for Alchemical Hydra weren't too drastic, we mainly just made the brimstone ring pieces reflect the rate difference that OSRS has (rather than squeezing them all in the same rate.)

Glad you like the update, have fun :) !

So is anyone gunna run my 700+ Xerics raids now that you finally decided to “fix” the drop tables? “Fuck anyone who already put in the work, we’ll just make it appealing for the new users; fuck our existing player base and their time supporting my game”

This isn't the first time the raids drop tables have been reworked.  That kind of thinking is how server die, saying we can't update anything once it has been released. No-one forced you to do 700 Xerics prior to the recent drop table change, and the major point here is that regardless of the new common table, you still have 700 raids worth of loot.

Not a fan of the remolded dzone. I kinda donated to have that gem mine, now its gone 3 weeks after dono, kind of a bummer to say the least. It's more cluttered now, with 16 times the potted plants, and 2x the distance from bank to whatever your up to.
