EIM Cevol

Support. Alora needs to be the first server with full Gnomeball.

Tbh I I don't think we should have anything to make EIM etc made easier, as @Dutchie said.

And I mean made easier whatsoever, i don't think there should be ANYTHING to directly help gameplay for ironmen whatsoever.

OSRS already offers these features to Ironmen, so it can't really damage gameplay integrity. I also take some issue with the suggestion that any update considered should not make gameplay "easier" - by this metric many updates since 07 was released have made ironmen modes easier. Nearly every new game update makes some aspect of content easier. And again, the point of this suggestion is not to obselete gathering or training methods, but simply to offer some alternatives and give people an incentive to play pest control. We have so many broken resource gathering methods (crystal keys, bloody keys?) that "make gameplay for ironmen easier", that introducing a few resource crates to the pest control shop seems very minor in comparison.

I dont think this would be a good addition to alora , I do not support this

 

Supplies would be based on donator status and event status, thats my argument here.

Pretty much everything in Alora is based on donor and event status. Donor status offers extra raids loot, boosted drop-rates, extra clue scroll rewards, passive noted resources, two perfectly tailored skilling zones... Adding coal to the void knights store as it is in OSRS seems pretty reasonable in comparison.

 

I can't see any 'secondaries pack'. If it just not giving you loads and loads of secondaries i'm in for it

That was an idea of my own. I wasn't suggesting you open it and get 3000 noted snape grass or anything stupid like that, but if it were in line with the other rewards, it would simply serve as an alternative to picking up snape grass at the crafting guild, or mort myre fungus in the Morytania swamp, or zamorak wines at the chaos altar. Nothing broken intended to make those methods obsolete, just an alternative.

Heya folks, I've been playing Alora for a hot minute now and one area I've always wanted to see get a little love is the Pest Control mini-game. It's part of our shared experience here, pretty much everyone has ground out their full void at PC, but we also know how empty the island is during weekdays and times where there are no ongoing bonus events. Once we've gotten our void sets, there's no incentive to ever going back to pest control, which is a bummer because - 

1.5x Pest control points is a regular weekend event

Bonus pest control points are a donor perk that is effectively useless once you've gotten void/torso

The minigame can be a fun way to sink some time, but it's a 'one-time per account' type of minigame.

It would be cool to see a few new rewards be added to the commendations store to incentivize players who've gotten their void to return to the island - a few I'd personally like to suggest and open up to feedback:

Herb Packs - A box containing a random assortment of grimy herbs

Mineral Packs - A box containing some coal and ores (in OSRS this is iron ore, but in Alora perhaps the rewards could be slanted towards higher tiers)

Seed Packs - A box containing some random seeds (again, some higher-tier seeds on the droptable would be a cool alternative gathering method for slower gamemodes)

Cosmetic/Pet rewards - A few unique cosmetics in the shop and/or a cool pest control only pet would be a neat addition to the shop.

Secondaries Packs - A box containing herblore secondaries. This would be awesome to have - ironmen are still stuck picking up many of their herblore secondaries. Snape grass, mort myre fungus, etc. Being able to get some of these items through pest control would be a great gameplay alternative.

Experience rewards - In OSRS you can buy experience with points, although I'm unaware of this being efficient in OSRS and I doubt it would be useful here

What do you guys think? Do you have any suggestions for rewards I missed here? Let me know below :)
