I believe Higgs was focusing on modifications that turn the homes into more of RuneScape gold an RP concentrated area rather than a support centre. And some thing more like a Player Owned Barracks or base camp could be a fantastic alternative to add support functionality.

I think that they're more looking at it as a way to add performance without it being drastically different concerning training and it's effect on external aspects of the game. More like incorporating RP functionality, than conventional support/artisan ability functionality. By making them a place to socialize/facilitate parties or something, kind of like a normal residence.

So I can kind of see where they're coming from, on account of the nature of a'house' being what it is IRL, the appearing overwhelming need of the playerbase is to make the POH into more of a Player possessed base camp or Barracks, a place to visit make prepping for different activities faster/easier for a certain player. Which admittedly a lot of that functionality is already readily accessed other places like Max guild or Wars Retreat. Other than what present POH's have.

Which the concept of a Player owned barracks/base camp/village could be something cool to amuse for a rework. A larger scale area to train structure, beginning with your house, then continuing on to a payoff for NPC's who may then become workers of some sort that create options for passive XP profit like POF mixed with miscellania. Higher your level the various typed of buildings that are functional that your camp could have, by a smith to replace the armor rack, to a lender, or even a mage to get tele's etc.. Where you'd need to provide materials for their functionalities to operate, in addition to a Base amount of materials and a base level to produce the construction that those NPC's would operate in anyways. Along with the choice to arrange them in a way which suits the players liking, in which combat support role NPCs could be closer to the house tele place for easier access. Along with other npc's could be further. Obvi I am literally just spewing ideas with little without believing prior, so it could all be incredibly flawed but I believe it could be a start of something to think about.

Do hard wildly journal and do havoc altar, even faster.Unless you can't get Prif, just do crystals. 100% AFK. Prices way more than bones. I believe around the time there was a ton of gold injected to the system from botting and this was their cure to eliminate said gold.

OSRS participant here, construction is insanely OP for us with regen pool and house tiles. What makes it useless for RS3? Quit runescoe in 2006 to come back to old by the way so I know nothing regarding RS3 in its current state.Osrs and RS3 we've been given lots of the identical QOL buffs but in Osrs they had been integrated into rs gold 2007 structure whereas RS3 they were just inserted.
