Locked Player-owned Farm

[Sandstorm]

I mean.. I could add the player-owned farm, but it will take a LONG time to do which would result in pushing back the whole 120 update. Think I could do it in a month, so by the end of November. This would also mean no major content updates for that period of time!

Or.. I could just hwip them in a shop, or, make them as uncommon/rare drops from NPC's; poison slime from slimes, spider fangs from spiders, bull horns from yaks and so on and so on.

 

Anyways - your call, I'll do whichever option wins!

Could always implement drops to monsters until PoF is done, there's tie in's to big game hunter, archaeology mysteries and actual hunter to obtain different critters. 
This could allow times for players to become more familiar with the potions and their effects until PoF is up and running.

I know I'm just a newbie, but I'm ok with it taking more time. I'll just keep having fun. Thanks Sandy.

but then a lot of monsters will be camped out since there is only 1 world

economy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I agree with the farm, but would like drops too. That way, players can choose. 

I also love the idea of adding the items in with the drops, then working on the player-owned farm. That way we can have access to the items first, but still get the farm.

I really don't like the idea of a special currency, and don't want it to be a "just buy them" thing. It takes the fun out of it, and the special currency takes the fun out while also making it difficult.

Sounds like a good Christmas present for the server.

excited for the big content drop!

I'm absolutely fine with waiting for the POF update. I always much prefer quality updates over quantity.

There's a finite number of things you can do, so don't rush to do them all ASAP. That goes for development and playing. 

[Ironman btw]

Personally I don't really like like skilling, I would much rather PVM for ingredients. 

I believe there are some good chunk of peeps that don't like skilling that much too.

good user experience would be to have multiple options to get something

Although I voted for Option 1, looking at the comments I could see the benefits in also, possibly adding them to NPC drops? But so that obtaining the ingredients through POF would be in more abundance in comparison to the ingredients from NPC.

This is easily the most badass server there is, a POF update would be amazing.

I don't think any of us are leaving because of a small lapse in updates, we still have plenty content!

 

As a Runescape player since 2005, then osrs (never having played RS3) this is exactly what i love to see, the RS3 content without the cluttered game play.

Would also rather wait for PoF, avoids the possibility of the market becoming over saturated with potions/materials before the actual content to obtain them is added. We've lived without them this long, it wont kill us waiting an extra month (and we'll still get the Halloween event in the meantime)

+1, I worry about how farmed the materials would be before actual PoF would be implemented. Can't help but to vote to wait because the PoF was one of the most enjoyable skilling contents I found on RS3, personally.

I think it's better for the economy and the player base as a whole to put it in as skilling. Normal accounts can still buy from other players which will put more money into skilling (there have been recent complaints that there is not enough skilling money making and PoF just sounds all around good for playerbase). As far as ironman, that's the price to pay for playing the game mode in my opinion. If you want these top tier potions you should have to put in the extra time and do the skilling content.

Looks like most end-game potions will be locked until I finish Player-Owned farms. I decided to release everything I have Farming/Herblore related in the next big update, so you'll at least be able to start collecting some of the materials needed!
