Thought I'd share something I've been prototyping / working on in my spare time. Tooltips that show actual damage values & adjust based on gear/buffs/modifiers. Is the something you'd like to see in-game one day? (Potentially as a toggle)

Been busy lately but was able to fix an annoying little bug today that prevented special attacks from being fired back to back on slower weapons. The game was setting a hidden cooldown based on the weapon's attack speed. Hopefully making its way to a RuneScape near you soon ™️

Oh btw, hitting the Zamorak 'rares' table will have bad luck mitigation. Whilst we avoided having giga-rare drops, we also appreciate that variance is going to cause some players to still go dry. If you have dry spells at Zammy, your drop rate is going to increase.
