This month I'll be hosting the traditional data stream.
This is your chance to ask for any data requests so we can present them on stream and talk about them, for example you may ask about boss kill requests, etc.
Ask away and I'll try to reply where possible!
Meet kfcletics, my chicken coop locked ultimate ironman. After recently maxing my ultimate Ironman I decided to up the ante To forge my own journey from scratch. No banking, no trading. But this time I can’t leave the coop. All leading up to taking on one of runescapes biggest ch
@JagexAsh Hello Ash! I was curious about the Stranger from desert treasure. Do you know what affects his chances of spawning, and whether there are areas in which he is preventing from spawning?
@JagexAsh Thank you! He's appeared once for me but I haven't killed him yet. I'll see if he appears again!
Do you know if you can increase the odds of him appearing by doing the force spawn random event method (a la Swampletics)?
@Terror_Dogs I don't have his code available, but from memory he'd be spawned a random period of time after you got one of the four special diamonds. There are almost certainly places he can't go, but I don't know them from memory.
Dev update:
I've rewritten a couple important and critical parts of RuneScape core combat code to prevent bosses from smashing through your defensives as they die. It will be code reviewed by several other nerds and thoroughly QA'd.
We want to get this out as soon as possible.
@OzirisLoL Line 954, it would be smarter to do Temple of Ikov before getting 50 con. Reason being that you get oak planks from eclectics if hunting yew bow, which saves a bit of time + money

It's not tested after i wrote it so it's likely that there are some mistakes as always, but shouldn't be anything too big.
I'm starting to ask myself what kind of update would actually appeal to me. With my pure/alt-meta it's almost like I don't like a single update. At one point I liked updates that came out, but now its stuff that doesn't appeal at all, which is mind boggling.
Thinking about making a new pure called a Totem Hoarder. Basically I just hoard as many totems during sinkholes and don't turn them in at all so the timer runs out and ends the game and no one gets rewards. 😂😂
So @JagexJT got his hands on sorting out the T92 Shadow-dyed Sirenic, the purple smoke effect has been intensified and overall it just looks so much better!
Here's a before and after
Thoughts?
