Hey everyone,
Monday's game update brought in 2018's Spring Fayre and introduced some big changes, including making all of the attractions free. With this big change we decided to tweak the XP rates accordingly for the unlimited availability.
However, it's clear from posts and feedback we have seen that the token rate and XP rates seem just too rare.
We've been having discussions internally and as a result we're going to be making the following changes with a hotfix:
- We're vastly improving the chance of a cosmetic drop
- The cosmetic drop rates were actually the same as they were last year. With the removal of the token system however, it's clear that cosmetics weren't appearing often enough to feel rewarding in this new event format.
We'll be increasing the following skill activities:
- Cooking – 50%
- Mining – 100%
- Hunter – 100%
- Prayer – 50%
- Strength – 50%
- Agility – 50%
- Ranged – 50%
This is still lower than last year's XP rates, as last year required fayre attraction tokens to participate in. As a result the XP then was a little more generous
This has now been hotfixed and we'll be putting out a broadcast in-game to inform players about this also
Even though we originally got it wrong we feel that this hits the sweet spot while at the same time addressing the issues you had while playing the Spring Fayre. We'll always listen to your feedback where possible and address where necessary.
We hope you enjoy!
