Death System Rework
Basically I have several issues and questions regarding this proposed system. First of, the question: Can we still pick what we keep? It is weird to see the Dragon Dagger up there, while the Rune Platebody is worth more. Moving on to the issues: As stated before, the value of the Sign of Respite is way to low. A fixed value would be essentially a good idea, but the difficulty is balancing the price to make the Sign of Respite with the value of the Sign. Is the marked flooded enough for the price to stay low? Notwithstanding that one would also lose an inventory slot per Sign carried which could potentially be up to 2300 ish LP carried instead. Could that made the player stay alive if it hit the problem of running out of food? These are all choices players need to make, but Jagex needs to take into consideration that players always try to trick the system (as evidenced by the Broad Arrows idea). Next issue I have is the relatively low % taken of when using a better gravestone. I am of opinion it should be a tad higher, up to 10% instead. Do not forget that when using for example T90s, the value is easily in the 10s of millions if using the weapons. 5% of that is often just a drop in comparison to the price needed to pay. Another issue is the Barrows degrade value versus the rest of the gear. The should just slash this value in half, so mid-tier people do not need to pay more than those who use higher tier gear. In overall I have huge issues with relating the price of the cost to the GE as it can be manipulated. Rather use the price that one would have lost if they had to repair it instead. So for example (values are not realistic, I know), full ports armour (helm, body, legs) costs currently 5m to repair the set. When someone dies he/she pays X%. For example 10%, of this value in the new system would be 500k. That is without any discounts by grave system etc. They could balance the price to pay by changing the %. It allows for a much more stable and yet more flexible system. The last major issue I have with this system, is that there is no way to reclaim everything for free. For example by placing the Gravestone on the spot you died so you could optionally go to your gravestone and access the goods here. This would be only the case in specific areas like High level PvM and in difficult to reach places (like GWD). Once again, this would be quite easy to balance, just only take the places of high-risk bossing like ROTS, KK, Legiones, QWD, (No max portal here), QBD (disable shortcut here then?), DKS (No max portal to tele), Vorag@ and quest bosses where there would otherwise be a gravestone. Those are the only location that I can think of where a system like this should be implemented; an option to reclaim everything for free, like it is now. The problem then is, what is the cost? But that can be discussed rather easily.

Crystal tool questions
It does exclude the crystal hatchet and pickaxe as it is not the Crystal tools it refers to. It refers to the tools made by the Crystal tool seed, with the exception of chime as it doesn't do anything skill related.

I wonder if the value of that bank could actually be expressed... EDIT: It is actually less than i thought. It is 'only' 302 trillion 988 billion 467 million 755 thousand 230 gp. And that times a million.

Ports - Guardians of the World
I've gotten one, maybe two scroll voyages since the update :thumbdown: Thankfully I did get 2 ports enhancers from the maw though :thumbup: I'm really missing the point of clue voyages apparently, too -.- they seem like story voyages by a different name... but without any story. All I know is that you get useful shit from clue voyages as well. I really want to remove these bad traits on my captains. And did the Memory's final voyage today! Now I have to wait for 3 trio missions D: As far as I know, the clue voyages are not what gives you the trait removals. Its the Memory Hidden voyage. EDIT: It has ties to clue voyages if you meant that. This is what Mod Rowley told me regarding the removal of captain traits: That voyage is the Memory's hidden voyage (after finding all her clue voyages). Completing her story voyages should help too.

Coming back to the game after 2 years
On overall most quests can be done on Legacy. And skilling requires usually no combat. However, for some skills it can be useful to use abilities, like surge to save time. Also ability bar can be used to drop stoof. Herb running is still excellent money. Yes it now is! Solo XP rates got a huge buff last year which made it now somewhat viable. However, best XP rates are still the best, but not OP so in comparison to Solo. Basically, GWD gear + Chaotics are the way to go. Still dual wield is better as defender is redundant. Steel titan is very good. You could join the 'Sc' friends chat and ask questions there whenever playing. People are usually nice and swift to respond with answers.

Should I finish the Mourners' Ends Quests?
It is a skilling hub for high level players. It has for example AFK mining and Smithing. Free crafting, a new agility course, another herblore patch. Lots of new potions to unlock and make. Pretty much an addition for about 15 skills minimum.

Behind The Scenes - February
Well thats good because i dont feel its necessary to play piano to kill a boss. Granted i can kill him with rev I think rev at araxxor should be more for metagame efficiency. I accidently went full revo on Araxxor the one kill I went yolo for the Reaper title. All other attempts were full manual. I even did far better doing it revo than with manual as I used way less food. Just saying that for some people it is easier to just revo Araxxor than it is to go full manual.

The remove trait voyages removes 1 trait per voyage. It will first remove the negative traits before removing positive traits.

New returning player advice
You only need to start it to unlock Fairy Rings. Basically Rune will cut it to 70, after that use GWD armours to 80. This is due Dragon still being quite expensive. For weapons, Rune => Dragon => Whip/Dbow would work fine. Just dual wield both, note that the Whip has no OH equivalent.

Guthix isn't really a Naragi anymore, just as Saradomin is no longer really a human. I hate to say it, but Guthix passed away =C.

Deposit Box near general store on Karajma
It requires the Deadliest Catch quest to unlock Deposit Chests at several locations. Once you have done that however, it is suggested to cut the trees at Ape Atoll as a Monkey.

Ports - Guardians of the World
I think I am going to get the T85s anyway. Even though it is more expensive than working for a Drygore, it is kinda low-time and pretty much a one-off anyway.

Membership Price Changes - 1st March 2015
Yes, I bought members the first month I came back, and I got charged like 8.75 or something. There's some kind of charge for using a credit card I guess. You don't pay $7.95? That's weird, some sort of tax maybe? Perhaps that tax that is applied to out-of-country purchases? I can't think of the name of that tax right now but I know it exists. Conversion charges?
