The first was Magic that Fletcher stated was created just 13 hours after Fresh Start Worlds' launch was launched. Fletcher also noted that he's seen a lot of the new pet species with halos as they walk around, which is a reward that can be that is earned when you train abilities. To assist in getting these rewards, the Fresh Start Worlds feature weekly increases like 100 percent XP on skills below the level of 70 OSRS gold. They also offer "free dying" so there's no penalty for death or even a possibility of double yields when collecting resources.
There are also unique Fresh Start World "Boons" you can get. Although these Boons will not be carried over into the game itself, they can gain some really fun upgrades such as Infinite Run Energy, infinitely recyclable food items, as well as the chance to save on runes bolts, arrows, as well as other consumables that are utilized in battle. This is a great chance for players who are new to the game to get to know their fellow players in the main game, who could have put them at the limit in the past.
It sounds too good to be real? The catch is that it's an exclusive mode that is available only to new accounts that have an account, however the last few days, Oldschool RuneScape has also begun with new Fresh Start Worlds available to everyone. However, in oldschool RuneScape it is not possible to earn special items you can earn and transfer, nor do there are any daily boosts, it's simply a new beginning.
Why do they even bother with these Fresh Start Worlds for RuneScape at all? Fletcher said that it was in response to feedback from players. Keatley also said they believe that the seed for that idea was planted many years ago when they were studying comments on Reddit and one of those 'Wouldn't you think it would be cool if they could do this?' threads. The idea stayed in the minds of the developers such as, "Yeah? It would be awesome would it not?"
Continued my tour with Fletcher and Fletcher, we finally left Lumbridge (which was oddly enough, did not dock at a different port, but was instead spawned directly in the front of Lumbridge Castle) in which Fletcher gave me a few examples of RuneScape's first quests, including learning cook under the guidance of the chef of the castle. He told me that I could be able to remember Lumbridge in the beginning of RuneScape since it was the first city.
Sure that thoughts of hunting cattle from Lumbridge close to extinction and then burial of their bones to enhance my prayer skills was flooding back into my mind when I crossed over the bridge to go east toward Het's Oasis. In the northernmost portion of the Kharidian Desert, Fletcher pointed at a huge tree that was a good distance from those canyon wall. It was so massive that it had curled around into a circular shape.
We made our way to the northern path that would lead you to Archeology Guild, home to the latest skill in the game that Fletcher said has gone extremely well with the players. As we walked, Fletcher pointed out that huge tree once more while we made our way to its front and I realized the fact that it had faces! It was called the Tree of Balance, and Fletcher informed me that it is home to the Druids and is the venue for the RuneScape Easter celebrations.
In the context of druids, Fletcher transitioned into speaking about plans for the RuneScape update coming next month, which will concentrate on enhancing the farming skill. They've observed that players don't consider Farming as particularly enjoyable. This is why Fletcher and his group at Jagex are seeking to improve some of the less utilized or popular skills for them to be more appealing or, at the very least, more incentive-based, to players to invest their time in.In recognition of the successes this Archeology skill has achieved and the positive feedback from players, it seems that Fletcher will address playerbase issues with some of the less popular skills. He wasn't able to give specifics regarding the recent changes to Farming but he promised that they'll reveal the entire scope of changes in the near future. This led Fletcher to guide us towards our final destination on the tour, where the most immediate changes were made.
The Wilderness has seen recently one of the most significant modifications to RuneScape throughout the year, and perhaps the most dramatic change in history. The Wilderness is being relaunched, with a fresh look and has changed its focus the status of an all-time PvP zone, to now being an optional PvP, with a brand new system that is based on threats for PvM. Fletcher talked about how the Wilderness became more and more unpopular in the past because of the repercussions of dying in the Wilderness. They tried to revitalize the area by incorporating it in the ongoing Legacy of Zamorak story arc.
They've continued to provide support for the newly created Wilderness zone by offering Flash Events and two new mini-quests. The third is expected to be added in a forthcoming update. As we sat around in the Wilderness discussing these updates, a single player was in the area, hunting blue dragons. Due to RS gold and recent changes The Wilderness is now a very popular spot for those who want to learn the Slayer ability due to it being one of the most rewarding, and also having the highest enemy density.
