I've encountered some chatter about a $40k donator rank, and honestly, it seems ridiculous. Who has that kind of monies just sitting around? Plus, I doubt anyone has enough in-game currency to buy that many bonds or rank tickets unless they hit the jackpot at ;;Gamble.

 

Currently, 2% of the community has the highest donator rank, introduced nearly 5 years ago. Of that group, just 0.75% are active at the moment.

 

Instead of creating a new donator rank, I think it’d be super to introduce some fresh perks that more players can enjoy. Let’s focus on perks that most people can realistically save up for, whether it’s with cash or in-game currency.

 

I’m thinking of tossing around some ideas for new donator perks. If you’ve got any ideas, don’t hesitate to share them, and I’ll add them to the list.

 

 

Donator

• 5% run boost
• 3 seconds bonus time at Tears of Guthix
• Coal bag capacity is 36, rather than the standard 27
• 1 free Slayer task reset a day (doesn't remove Slayer points or remove Slayer streak)
• Double marks of grace
• Dodgy necklace preventing pickpocket fails increased from 25% to 35%
• Bag full of gems will give 75 uncut gems, rather than the standard 40

 

Super Donator

• 7% run boost
• 5 seconds bonus time at Tears of Guthix
• Gem bag capacity is 100 of each uncut gem, rather than 60
• Double grey chinchompas per successful hunt (does not affect XP)
• Auto-collect marks of grace with the ring of wealth (i) equipped
• 50 loyalty points per forum post, rather than the standard 25
• 2 free Slayer task reset a day (doesn't remove Slayer points or remove Slayer streak)

 

Extreme Donator

• 10% run boost
• 7 seconds bonus time at Tears of Guthix
• Herb sack capacity is 50 of each grimy standard herbs, rather than 30
• Triple grey chinchompas per successful hunt (does not affect XP)
• Double red chinchompas per successful hunt (does not affect XP)
• Extra daily task (difficulty can be random)
• Only receive uncut sapphire, emerald, ruby, and diamond from gem rocks - not uncut opal, jade, or red topaz
• Free entry inside the Wilderness Resource Area
• Add a herb patch at the Donator Zone for Extreme Donator+ to use
• Clue bottles and bird nests go straight into your inventory (ground if inventory is full)
• 3 free Slayer task reset a day (doesn't remove Slayer points or remove Slayer streak)

 

Legendary Donator

• 15% run boost
• 10 seconds bonus time at Tears of Guthix
• Double black chinchompas per successful hunt (does not affect XP)
• Triple red chinchompas per successful hunt (does not affect XP)
• Boosted Thieving success rate
• Extra roll at Wintertodt
• Can smelt ores with noted coal in the Wilderness Resource Area
• Add a flower and bush patch at the Donator Zone for Legendary Donator+ to use
• Clue bottles and bird nests go straight into your bank
• Sawmill cost is 25% off original

 

Uber Donator

• 20% run boost
• Double Farming harvest
• Triple black chinchompas per successful hunt (does not affect XP)
• Ability to use the Donator Zone's gilded altar as a lit PoH gilded altar
• Receive the same Firemaking XP from bonfires as you would from normal log-burning
• Don't need coal to smelt ores in the Wilderness Resource Area
• Sawmill cost is half price
• Can use noted coal on coal bag to store
• Can use noted uncut gems on gem bag to store

 

Master Donator

• Dwarf cannon auto reloads
• Always receive full crystal key as drops (no tooth or loops)
• Can use noted logs for noted planks at the Sawmill
• Bloody chest loot chance has 10% increase with red skull (stacks with current bloody chest loot chance increase perk)
• Sharks, dark crabs, anglerfish, and manta rays don't burn without Cooking skill cape

I agree with MOST of these. The only ones I don't agree with are the free slayer task resets and the red skull bloody chest increase. (I personally think the bloody chest needs boosting a little, as I have spent AT LEAST 4B on keys and have made about 50% back of that (for science of course.) 

But I definitely think that these are really, really good suggestions overall. Not very overpowered, gives alot more incentives but doesn't break the game. I personally like the addition of the Herb patch at Donator Zone, as I'll be honest, I almost NEVER use that place. 

[Selenagomez]

i can agree with some if not most of these perks... i hope there isnt a 40k rank (cause im broke kekw) mainly because eternal is barely worth it already, it would have to have game breaking perks to make it even worth it..

[21]

Regarding the 40k Rank, I know a few players who already have accounts with it or hold multiple eternal ranks.

 

Personally, I don’t feel strongly about a donor rank rework. I think there are other areas that could use more attention to improve the game. If Omi’s talking about a $40k rank, I’m assuming the perks have been balanced or will be put out to the community so it’s not too overpowered, but still gives players something else to aim for. As for me, any extra GPs I get usually just end up getting gambled away. I might save up for a rank, but honestly, I’m probably more likely to blow it all, being a bit of a degenerate when it comes to that.

well i do agree with alot of your suggestions! you came in with great new ideas and instead of going for a 40k rank. i feel like eternal need a revamp because atm it is more like a scamternal rank .( also wonder what would be your eternal idea since you stopped at master)

i dont agree on the slayer skip part ( we can already free skip task on a 50$ rank), because if we get free skip for lower rank, please @Omicron refund me this scamm rank, ur drop boost rate are not working at all on my account ( did you activate it btw ??? )

i would love to have those boots we had on league also for agility xp ( because agi sucks ) for super low xp i wouldnt mind on higher tier ranks( maybe immortal + )

if the goal is really to reach a 40k rank, i hope it worth it, because as stated above the 20k rank isnt worth it at all for now.

the main point is: is there any player that would pay for a 40k rank when we all know the 20k rank is shit ( except for @saeed rng on any accounts )  any ranks seems better rng, the only thing we have rn is pick up our own task as eternal ( u can always skip for free with lower rank) 


improve eternal 1st b4 next rank, fix the rank/drop rates/perks/more bonues pts or anything b4 !, we pay to win when we go for eternal, not pay to be scammed, which is the actual result.

Most people focus mainly on rng when it comes to grading ranks on here, I agree that eternal could use buffs, and revamping ranks can be nice in general, but why is it that you think we can’t do both? Add a $40k rank (already promised by omicron) and revamp current ranks. Not even trying to flex, but I was promised there’d be a $40k rank over a year ago, and it’s why i spent nearly 400b to have 3 accs ready for $40k rank, or else I would’ve just left them at $20k each.

Idk what game breaking benefits it could have, but I’d be happy with better drop rates even for now while the other ranks benefits get revamped, I would not want $40k rank to jus take already established perks the way eternal did when it was first introduced (if any others remember).

At the end of the day, people mainly want rank for drop rate buffs and complain when something like a RANDOM number generators doesn’t hit (I would know over 600kc and still no tbow).

Tldr; do both $40k and benefits revamp, regardless people will complain because they don’t understand it’s possible to go 5x rate no matter how much of a buff because its random

Edit to add I like most of your suggestions for perks to add, but some of them seem to show you lack some game knowledge, like lower tier gems from gem rocks are necessary to make dodgy necklaces for example, or how run % boost can become op in pvp (albeit not the end all be all)

I suggested that regular donators should only have the 1 free Slayer task reset daily, while super donators get 2 and extreme donators get 3. I've donated for super donator on a few accounts just for the Slayer task reset perk, and I really wouldn't be bothered by this new perk.

I know you need opals to create dodgy necklaces, but that thought didn’t come to me when I was considering the new donator perks. Higher-level gems have always been my go-to for my iron man accounts. And regarding the energy boost, Omicron could just make it not apply within the Wilderness.
