RuneScape Discussion
- What are Fresh Start Worlds?
- “The best time to begin again”
- Key target: lapsed and returning players.
- These are not RuneScape 3 Leagues.
- First 8 weeks: race for World First and Hiscores.
- No Treasure Hunter for first 8 weeks, RuneCoins and Bonds will exist.
- XP rates increase to X3 in the first 8 weeks, X4 for skills under 70. Then after this XP rates come down.
- Luma Wolf Pet
- Alternate Skill capes (ignore concept art, simply inverted from current capes - yes 120s and yes Quest cape)
- Challenger armour (hybrid) and Challenger Lance that levels up with your combat level up to level 80.
- Tradeable Halo of Returning (complete 8 milestones).
- Counted milestones: every 500 total levels, every 50 quest points, every 2,000 Runescore.
- Top 100 in each skill
- First to 99 in each skill
- First to 120 in each skill
- First to Quest Cape
- First to Max Cape
- Halo Pet Skins: All skilling pets unlocked come with their own Halo of Returning.
- Pets are automatically unlocked with both skins on the FSW account, in addition to the tradable token.
- Most of these can be used on this account, traded back to your main, or traded once (non-GE) to someone else.
- Boons?
- *Experience(5)- Level skip scrolls x3 (rare candies)
- *Endurance- Infinite Run
- Luck(4)- small style damage bonus + a temporary luck ring

- *Artisan1- skilling station bonuses constantly applied
- *Ammunition(2)- 25%/50% save ammo/runes
- Banking- daily activatable bank deposit box
- Vigour(2)- 10%/25% bonus HP, PP, SP
- *Porter- pocket slot, 50% chance to porter
- Artisan2- double make-X limits
- *Skill Pets- +100% chance for pets.
- Confusion with Leagues
- The MTX question
- The account question
- The competitive question => the “devaluation of achievements”
- The economic bubble
- What can be done to improve FSW
- MESSAGING!!!
- Linked accounts
- Separate the race from the fast levelling concept
- GP-Swapping prevention
- How Update feels about FSW
- Wilderness Ambushes now drop loot and count for Slayer Tasks.
- AoE abilities will now work in singleway combat zones within the Wilderness.
- Fixed an issue with the Vestments of Havoc - where the 15% adrenaline gain over 18 seconds ability was being applied even if Ultimate abilities were triggered while on cooldown.
- Freecam can now be used while resting.
- Portable Fletcher can now be used to bundle Bamboo and Golden Bamboo.
