Prestige is optional. However, once you prestige there is no way of returning. Decide wisely!
Birds Nests
Added the chance of receiving a "Birds Nest" from a tree when cut. These nests have a 1 in 250 chance of being acquired. They provide an instant GP increase of 20 times that of the tree you got it from.
Bird nests will be a feature expanded upon in the future.
Woodcutting Statistics
Added some small statistics for those who like to keep track of numbers. Unfortunately this does not include your stats prior to Alpha v0.02.
Changes to Woodcutting Random Events
Previously, a random event would cause all cut buttons to be disabled until the event finished. Throughout testing, I believe this is an unfair and frustrating disadvantage to the player, especially if they do not wish to participate in the event.
All cut buttons are now enabled during random events.
You are also able to Auto Cut the random event.
Tree XP/GP Balancing
The amount of XP and GP earned from trees later on in the game has been reduced.(In order of tree based on level)
Old XP Rates - [10,20,30,50,80,120,200,320,500]
New XP Rates - [10,20,30,50,80,100,140,180,250]
Old GP Rates - [1,5,10,20,40,100,250,500,1000]
New GP Rates - [1,5,10,20,40,80,125,200,275]
An Update on Trees Becoming Useless
Just thought I'd address this issue. Common feedback received showed a dislike for trees becoming redundant as you level up. I completely agree with this feedback, and have thought about how I can make better use of these redundant trees.
I have decided to leave it as is for now until the introduction of
. This skill will require logs as the main source to level it up. Hopefully this will provide a use for the redundant trees when released. Upon release of this skill, I will gather feedback to see if this is a suitable trade-off.
As the game progresses, more and more skills will be added to the game. If you follow RuneScape at all, you are probably familiar with what new skills will eventually be introduced, and how they all interact with one-another.
