I don't actually get it... why are they changing all the numbers? i remember when i was able to hit 19, u were a playa in f2p. Now u are cb 50 and u hit "78". And now prayer?! What next? Running energy 1000? Like the new potion tho..

Useless potion is useless.

You can still pray flash.

I still remember that update, i had been misiformed and hit like a 20 or something ridiculous on a chicken....i flipped out.....

Anyway, meh update seems drab....just filler and adding more useless high level content. tbh.

I can see this happening:

max hp being 99000, max pray being 9900, max summon points being 9900

All armor stats x10, so it can be like wow.

And how is making the numbers simpler by making them larger like WoW?

x10 prayer has much less of an impact than x10 hp. Prayer used to be counted in 0.1 increments to calculate prayer drain, so all they're doing is making that visible now. I believe Prayer rounded up to the nearest whole number only when logging out, or not at all.

However, previously HP always rounded down to the nearest whole number (e.g. hitting 1.9 damage would be a 1 in the old system, or 19 in the new system). This made things like Flesh crawlers which had high attack low str a lot more dangerous for people with low defence.

Prayer didn't change much.

High alch price = the pot aint cost efficient. Definately not worth an week of updates imo.

It's likely that they figured the pot along with bonus exp was enough for the week. I'd have to agree.

I find the timing a bit off though; most people probably already have collected their supplies for BXP, so for them to release a new potion right before it when everyone's already set? I dunno bout that one...

I'd agree that the timing doesn't make sense, but at the same time it does. By putting it here as opposed to being by itself the week seems less barren. If it was alone then it'd practically be a no update week.
