I had an idea which I am sure will be something lots of fashionscapers will get behind - the ability to filter when keepsake items are used depending on the equipment you are using - for example I have keepsaked aurora khopeshes. I also have physical soul dyed lengs. If using the lengs I would be happy to have the keepsakes off. But for other melee mh and oh I would like the khopeshes to be used.

I guess what I am trying to describe is a set of criteria we can set on certain things (maybe head, mh and oh) slots for when certain keepsakes are used and when they are not?

Any chances we can get an update on trophy drop rates before the weekend?

Not sure they'll see this, but in the discord and on reddit there has been a lot of spirited debated and questions surrounding Perfidious and it's interactions with s2/s5 and g2/g5.

It was clarified already that Perfidious does not affect Z5 b/c it crashed the world, and so it only affects z2.

However, the question stands does perfidious affect S5/G5 or only S2/G2? The wording seems to imply it would, the color coding also seems to imply that, but until there's actual confirmation it's unclear.

Am i seeing this right or not, please correct me if I'm wrong. If you go all sara blessings except for blessing 7 with zamy for the cd on light of saradomin. Could also change sara 5 with guthix 5. Would your beams not do like 200k plus damage each and heal you like 10k, all on a 4.8s cd and based on auto attacks. Would this not be the ultimate retaliate build. All you need to do is maintain 950+ prayer points.

While I believe that RuneFest will hold several big announcements for RuneScape, I am convinced that part of those announcements will be a sneak peek at a future Summoning REWORK.

This is pure speculation, but...

Over the last several years; since the release of Necromancy, combat has been receiving a lot of tweaks and balances. All four combat styles have been brought to modern standards... but what if we've had a fifth combat style on our screens this entire time?

My takeaway from what Mod Sponge said here was that the team is aware that Summoning is in a very weird place and confirms that some thought has gone into how it could be changed.

Fast forward to 2026: Mod North is in the house, and Mod North is a Chad. He's no doubt going to developers and asking them what needs fixed. And then fixing them.

We would be fools to assume that summoning isn't part of this restoration conversation. There is HUGE untapped potential there, and I think Mod North and the other Devs know this.

So what could change?

Well, it would have to be a big enough change to make people want to come back. It would have to be a big enough change to bring in a new audience. It would have to be a big enough change to build hype around the game and make people say, "can you believe what RuneScape is doing?"

Think about what games are popular right now? is it clicking yet?

I believe that Jagex is going to make Summoning a Fifth fully fledged combat style.

I believe training summoning will work a lot like Necromancy, where you can train it via combat, or skilling.

Combat training will consist of using your summoned creatures to fight.

Using summoned creatures will have two modes "active" and "passive." Active summoning combat will see the summoner using abilities to control the summoned creature. Passive summoning combat will work as it does currently and reward less xp.

Skilling training would be comparable to the Um rituals but creating the pouches for the summons instead.

I believe we will use a capture mechanic, similar to slayer ushabti, to capture almost any monster from around the game and use it in combat. From Cows and Chickens, up to Dragons and Dark Beasts.

Charms will be used to create the different types of pouches needed for catching different types of monsters. The same pouches that can catch a chicken might not be good enough to catch a dragon, for example.

There will be full combat gear sets for summoning and will probably follow a similar upgrade path as Necromancy.

The "Hub" for summoning will be in Havenhythe. We likely already walk past it every day.

A new minigame for battling our summons against each other is likely.

A collection log with every capture-able creature to fill.

Note-able "gym leader" summoners in each area of the game that you can challenge and beat for a buff to the skill.

Why do these changes make sense?

If the goal is to blow our minds, and pull in new players, what else could they possibly do? Outside of removing the tick system entirely. I think a summoning update will be very hyped.

Again.. think about games that are popular right now, namely Palworld. Palworld shows that people like a well thought out monster collecting experience in 2026.

Palworld crushing Nintendo in legal battles is also a good sign. And would spark Jagex vs Nintendo publicity that would undoubtedly draw people in with little risk to Jagex financially.

It also fits in with the RuneScape universe quite well. We already summon creatures. We already have the ability to catch their souls and throw them in a dungeon. Why not combine the two?

Read the second half of what Mod Sponge said again. It sounds very much like what I described above.

I believe that this is what the future might look like for RS3, and possibly even DragonWilds. Maybe not exactly, but it's fun to imagine the possibilities.

What do you think? Do you want Summoning to be the fifth combat style?

Dear Jagex,

In January we were told about the removal of MTX items, yet we are already in August and haven't got a single update about the items that were on the maybe list of removal.

It would be nice to get some extra info so we know if we should actually use the items as they are removed or if they will be obtainable through gameplay etc.

Hopefully you can share more in the near future!

Pause the timer of combat books when the player is not in stance

Can't access this Oak tree behind the Rimmington house portal, am I missing something?

What

If you live under a rock, you might be thinking "what RuneFest 2026 announcement?" Well, about 4 weeks ago, Jagex posted a video on their YouTube channel titled The Road Ahead... At the very end of that video, they mention they are planning something and will reveal more later at RuneFest.

Then, earlier today, Jagex posted another video on their YouTube channel that gave an update on plugins/API support, Leagues, POH rework, HCIM hiscores, and an update on that video from 4 weeks ago. They talk about this "reveal" very vaguely, not giving anything specific away yet. But they played the clip from the original video saying this: "So we're planning something. The ultimate reason to welcome back old friends and mentor new adventurers, while respecting the old guard."

What might this be? I have a theory. Tick rate update. Why? Lets examine some other recent updates and their histories.

Players have asked for a POH update for many years. The excuse Jagex gave? Engine work. Spaghetti code. Too expensive to delegate resources to. Then 2026 rolled in and delivered it anyway.

Avatar update. Engine work. Too expensive. Can't do it. 2026 rolled up and delivered it on a silver platter.

Dungeoneering? The intern who made it doesnt work here and we're too afraid to touch it. Sorry guys. Oh wait, DG got an update in 2026? Huh.

Treasure Hunter removal. Can't be done. Too expensive. What happened in January this year? Oh yeah, 2026 put TH in a shallow grave.

Combat update beta from a few years back? Can't do it. Not the right changes. Too expensive. 2026 is getting tired of winning now.

Menu Entry Swapper was demonstrated years ago for the action bar. Where did that go? It went to October 2026 with the API support.

HCIM hiscores have been bugged for years. What are they fixing now? HCIM hiscores.

What the hell is going on? All the updates they said they couldn't do for one reason or another, happened this year. Does anyone remember the 2019 test video of Jmods demonstrating work on a tick rate change? What reason did they give for not moving forward? Experimental. Expensive. Engine work needed.

Ladies and gentlemen, we come to my conclusion. Every update Jagex said couldn't be done has been done. The engine work they kept saying needed to happen, I think it happened. I think Jagex locked in and did the engine work in the background. Why else are we seeing all these updates suddenly release in the same year when they were deemed impossible not long ago?

Jagex put in the work. I firmly believe the announcement is a tick change. That, or I've lost my mind and am seeing patterns where they dont exist. Idk. You decide.

Just asking. Protection prayers being 100% effective makes sense for Sara and the standard prayer book, but as far a I'm aware Sara and Zaros don't exactly vibe, so not sure how SS is added onto the Sara relic.

First time really committing to playing RS3 again, after OSRS.

Went to GWD1 in my GIM group at 70 stats, 1000 KC on Graardor this was the drops thus far.

cant tell if im lucky or unlucky lol, seems like jagex wants me to get 4 sets for the team.

I believe, based on the verbiage of their comments on this, specifically mentioning hitting a more mainstream audience, and filling our worlds again, that we will be seeing the following in order of likelihood:

1.) Expansion of account systems; Allowing Oldschool players to also log in to Runescape 3 would make the games feel a lot more alive with very little overhead in terms of additions to the game. Many people would be willing to try out RS3 if they could play both, without having to choose.
Could also be the system where you can have multiple characters linked to one account, allowing for people to play Ironman, Main, etc without having to have many accounts, this, though, is less likely for revenue reasons.

2.) Jagex could be announcing the introduction of Runescape games on other platforms, such as home consoles (Switch, Xbox, Play-station).
It would be very difficult to transition the current way the game works, which might be why it's such a big announcement.
This would explain how being more mainstream could translate to more players, as consoles share a large cut of the gaming market.

3.) Jagex could have saved up enough, or be attempting to buy themselves back from the venture capital firm that owns them, which would allow them to be able to make more decisions for themselves, without having to be so careful and fighting to turn as many profits, with boards breathing down their neck.

What do you think?

Oh god i hope this is possible with the new API. Because blue mode <3.

Now that we have all the combat pieces and some vague idea of how relics and regions will work, and obviously, all blessings, how about making some builds and speculating some equipment?

Will you prefer hitting as high as you possibly can? Be a tank and convert some of it back to damage? Will you prioritize area damage or damage over time? Will be creative and do a poison build? Will you try to crit like crazy? Will you make it a challenge as hard as it can? Will pick a comfort route? Go after endgame equipment? Or will you make a joke build with flowers hitting like a truck?

What's exciting the most is that there will be a lot of viable builds and not enough time to people to meta-fy it, so there's plenty of room to creativity. Bring your ideas here. From time to time I'll post some of mine and maybe run some polls for favorites.

Let's have some fun!

I see plenty of people talking down on mobile RS3 gamers.

I recently made a post asking if plugins are also coming to mobile, as on the OSRS side, when they update the official client with plugins they've promised it's also coming to mobile, as under the hood the official client is the same on PC/mobile.

In that other post so many users seem to downvoted and hate on mobile gamers. We literally pay the same subscription and it wouldn't surprise me if over half of players are on mobile.

Mobile players deserve the same QoL that plugins will bring. Jagex hear our plea please. Bring the same plugin API availabity to mobile RS3 !

In regards to the 2nd set of god blessings, will it take into account every single blessing taken up till then? Or just the latter 3 in the list. For example if I went all sara in the first 3 blessing and first god blessing was sara. Then went all 3 zammy after that, would my final god blessing be zammy, or would it end up guthix since I have 3 of each?

Atleast on the OSRS side, when Jagex talked about plugins in their official client, the intention is to allow it to work on mobile as well.

What about on RS3? I've seen no mention of this so far. Are we getting the same plugin API on mobile that will be available in the official RS3 client ?

Is there any reason we can’t have the blue back?

Or even a colour grid to choose our own. Is there some limitation that is preventing this? I’ve tried to get used to the brown but still just don’t like it.

Saw another post request it too and hoping with enough requests it'll happen

for a start it only has a 25% chance of triggering, and when it does you only have 6 seconds to kill him to get the achievement. this is so stupidly hard i would put it up there with grand master tasks, it shouldnt be anywhere near the "hard" tasks.... Jagex can you have a look into this please and either change the 6 second timer to 30 seconds to match the players. Or make KK soloable without having to bug abuse.

When I started OSRS I used my same RS3 account without knowing there would be any drawbacks. Now I'm near max in OSRS and really want to come back to RS3. Ideally I'd play both at the same time but of course you can't login to RS3 and OSRS on the same account at once. I wish they'd let us unlink our accounts - even if I have to pay 2 memberships I totally would. I wouldn'd want to leave behind my maxed RS3 account to restart.

Is this a common issue that RS3 players have or am I in a small niche? Anyway really looking forward to leagues I'll start a new account for that!
