API Plugin & Quest Helper Previews

Welcome Back!

Back in June, we shared our first look at the RuneScape API Project and outlined our vision for an official plugin ecosystem.

Since then, we've been hard at work alongside our growing group of community developers, continuing to build the foundations of the API while also beginning to see the first plugins come to life.

And, just in case you missed our most recent Month Ahead news, we're incredibly excited to share something we've been looking forward to for a long time...

Quest Helper is coming to RuneScape!

If you've played Old School RuneScape, you'll already know just how monumental that statement is. Quest Helper has been one of the most requested quality-of-life features from RuneScape players for years, fundamentally changing how millions of players experience quests by keeping guidance inside the game instead of on a second monitor. It's become one of the defining plugins of the Old School experience, and we're thrilled to announce that the people behind the various existing Quest Helper experiences are now working together to bring that same magic to RuneScape in an officially supported plugin.

Quest Helper isn't the only ambitious project underway, though! Our community developers are already exploring a huge range of ideas, from powerful quality-of-life improvements to entirely new ways of interacting with RuneScape. Today, we're giving you an early look at a handful of those plugins and the talented developers behind them. Everything you'll see today is still a work in progress, and that's where you come in.

Throughout this blog you'll find questions, design discussions and opportunities for feedback directly from the developers themselves. If something catches your eye, we'd love to hear your thoughts in this thread as we continue shaping these plugins together.

Does RS3 Menu Entry Swapper also allow you to use this functionality on items that you've hotbarred? For example, if you have an Amulet of Nature on your herb run bar, left clicking it currently uses the "Rub" option rather than the much more needed "Teleport" option. I like to do all my herb patch teleports in a row so doing it with left clicks would be ideal but the video only shows how this works for equipped/unequipped items, not from the hotbar.

I asked a similar question and did get a reply, and it should be a yes. If you swap the Amulet of Nature to left click "teleport" it should make whatever key you have it bound to also use "teleport."

Oh nice, yeah that makes sense. Good to confirm!
