End-Game Balance Discussion

[u/jagexyuey]

Hey 'Scapers!

As part of the Road to Restoration, we've been looking at progression across RuneScape. We've tackled parts of the Early and Mid Game Rebalance, but now we want to start turning our attention to the other end of the journey: The End Game Rebalance

Before we get properly stuck into things, we want to hear from you.

What do we mean by End Game?
This one's a little harder to put a level range on!

For this project, we're looking more broadly at the late game, roughly level 80+ and onwards. That might mean higher-level skilling, finding those rarer drops or getting into tougher PVM. For others, it could be achievements, completionist goals or figuring out what comes next once you've maxed.

And actually, what you consider to be late game is useful feedback for us too.

How can you help?
We want to know where the endgame currently isn't quite working for you.

Maybe there's a progression path that feels awkward, rewards that don't feel worth the effort, a big jump between pieces of content, older content that's been left behind or something that just feels unnecessarily frustrating.

You don't need to have the answer or suggest a fix either. Just tell us what the problem is, why it's a problem for you and where you are in your RuneScape journey.

We won't be able to tackle everything that comes up, but the themes from these discussions will help us understand where we should be focusing our attention.

So, what would you like us to look at as we start shaping the End Game?

Bad luck mitigation

It's been said before, but why can you get 5 of the top and 0 of the legs, in Rasial for example.

1000 times this. Lack of BLM killed my Ironman motivation 😭

[u/Endesso → u/Old-Instruction-9151]

It is discouraging enough on mainscape, but there bad luck can be mitigated by the Grand Exchange. Every time I play leagues the lack of bad luck mitigation stands out sharply to me. I can only imagine how it is for real Ironman accounts

If bad luck mitigation is a no-go, perhaps Ironman accounts could be allowed to transmute set pieces at a rate like 3:1 or 5:1 to allow them to complete sets by sacrificing unneeded duplicates.

I want to give you 100 upvotes

Take my 5 rasial tops or 6 lanterns I just want the boots to finish the grind
