Ninja Strike 8 - Recon PAG

The Ninja Team has been busy getting to work the findings of the first ever Player Advocacy Group.

But what is a Player Advocacy Group you ask? Simply put, it's an initiative that brings another added layer of player voice into Runescape's development.

PAGs offer the chance for our team to work extremely closely with a group of player experts embedded in the development process for a limited time, harnessing their expertise to inform designs or decisions. Every PAG has a player Champion leading it and a public Charter that outlines the particular focus area for the group. The Champion's role is to keep the playerbase informed and ensure the team has the right dynamics to effectively represent the full spectrum of player voices.

Working together this unstoppable team of players and Ninjas has improved clue scrolls, vanished familiars and even taken a break to reset some adrenaline cooldowns. But before all that, let's learn some more about their mysterious allies, the Player Advocacy Group.

Meet the Player Advocacy Group

Player Advocacy Groups are our way of ensuring that your voices are heard by the various development teams here at Jagex. Typically, they'll focus on particular areas of the game, and we'll look for expert players in that field to form the team.

We decided that our first-ever PAG should work alongside the Ninjas to identify challenges all across the game - so we needed players that knew everything about the world of RuneScape. Here they are again, in case you've forgotten:

The RS Guy (PAG Champion)

Clan leader, top 1000 ranked Hardcore Ironman, two-times Golden Gnome Award winner in the Best Streamer category... The RS Guy has many accolades, and the latest one is 'Head of the first-ever RuneScape PAG'.

Night Eyes

An 11-Year RuneScape Veteran, Night Eyes is the owner of the Rockman Discord, which focuses on learning the Vorago boss fight. A multi-world record holder (0.6 seconds trio Astellarn, 58 seconds trio Ambassador), Night Eyes' knowledge of the combat system is among the best in the game.

Shadofox / Shadokat

If you've used a calculator on the RuneScape Wiki, then you're already familiar with Shadofox's work. His knowledge of the Invention skill is second to none, and his Wiki contributions are read by thousands of players every single day.

MrDumbledore

With over 9,000 Clue Scrolls completed, this 15-year RuneScape veteran served as the resident clue expert on the PAG team. MrDumbledore holds the record for fastest un-boosted Elite Clue solve (1:17) and is the owner of the biggest Treasure Trails clan in Runescape, the Clue Chasers.

Lars deLux

An achievement hunter from the very beginning, Lars obtained the Max and Completionist Capes in 2011 and acquired Trimmed in 2014.

Lars holds a leadership position in both the Achievement Help and EDTeams communities. Having achieved max RuneScore on several occasions, Lars has completed almost every achievement in the game and brought a wealth of knowledge to the team.

Rrman

Rrman is one of the oldest and most respected Ironmen in the game. He made his account on the very same day Ironman mode launched and has been near the top of the pack ever since. He had a top 50 ranked Hardcore Ironman until January 2016 and was the 24th Ironman to achieve the Trimmed Completionist Cape. Presently, he is in the top 100 on the Ironman HiScores, and in the top 5 for RuneScore.

Lwut

When it comes to Skilling and Achievements, Lwut knows his stuff. A 13-year RuneScape veteran, he has achieved the Final Boss and Master of All titles, as well as the Trimmed Completionist Cape and Master Quest Cape. He has completed every skill in the game to 200million experience and is rank 93 on the overall hiscores.

Hoobs and Wh

Hoobs and Wh are co-owners of the incredible PvM Encyclopedia, a community with over 14,000 members that strives to provide up to date, accessible PvM information to all players. These two are expert PvMers and provided critical insight into that aspect of the game.

Interested in the PAG process? Have a read through the introductory Player Advocacy Group blog.

Now that your memory's been refreshed, let's take a look at how the Ninja Team dealt with the first major challenge the PAG presented:

More Meerkat Scrolls

Fetch Casket scrolls are an invaluable item for clue hunters, but they're not readily available. This update sought to change that by providing a new source of scrolls: meerkat pouches. From now on, one meerkat pouch can be exchanged for ten Fetch Casket scrolls at any Summoning obelisk. Simples!

Warpriest Armour Drop Rate

Players who participated in the first two World Events were rewarded with an increased drop rate for Warpriest Armour set pieces. Unfortunately, this meant that players who weren't able to take part are now at a disadvantage.

So from now on, Warpriest Armour will drop at the same boosted rate for everybody.

Hidden Familiars

Previously, summoned familiars would have to be dismissed in certain areas of the game. In practice, this meant that players would have to re-summon their familiars quite often, costing them time and resources.

We've already introduced an update where familiars and pets will hide themselves upon entering Lumbridge Market, without having to be dismissed. After this week, five more restricted areas will have this functionality. In the Falador Party Room and the Runespan, you'll still be able to see your familiars, but they'll disappear for everyone else.

Adrenaline Cooldown Reset

Isn't it annoying to have to wait for your Adrenaline cooldown to tick over in the middle of a battle? Well, not anymore, because from now on you'll be able to unlock the ability to reset your cooldown from War's Retreat.

And More!

Of course, there's more to come from the PAG yet, and the Ninjas are not the sort to sit idly around - they hunger for adventure and are always seeking out the next challenge.

So you won't have to wait long to see their next move - there's a special surprise update waiting for you all at the end of 'Desperate Measures', which goes live on July 27th.

Until then, why not submit your own challenges for the Ninjas? You can find their Dojo here.

Strike Notes

As always, the Ninjas have gone above and beyond the boundaries of the PAG challenges, and have made the following changes to relevant areas of the game:

Pets and Familiars
  • Familiars and pets can now be brought into the lobby of the Mage Training Arena, the Dorgesh-Kaan Agility course, the Hefin Agility course, the Falador Party Room, and the Runespan.

  • You can now unlock the ability to clear your Adrenaline Cooldowns from War's Retreat.
    • The Adrenaline Cooldown is reset once the player uses any of the adrenaline crystals next to the portals in War's Retreat.
    • This will work even if you're already at 100% Adrenaline.

    • The item description, shop description, and options have been changed to reflect this.
  • Meerkat pouches can now be converted into Fetch Casket scrolls at a Summoning obelisk.
    • This requires level 4 Summoning, and will create 10 scrolls per pouch.

  • The 'Grace Period' tab in the Achievements interface now has separate categories for Completionist, Trimmed Completionist, and Master Quest Capes.
Hardcore Ironman Changes

Upon a final death with no remaining lives, Hardcore Ironman accounts will automatically be downgraded to Ironman accounts, rather than being permanently locked. This will happen regardless of whether the account owns additional life items, such as the Jar of Divine Light.

Twitch Prime

As of Tuesday July 14th, you'll be able to claim four free Umbral Chests when you link your account with Twitch Prime. Every single one contains a guaranteed super-rare prize or better.
