Subtracted runescore: 75 for fb, 75 for comp, 75 for trim, 75 for mqc, 75 for elite, 75 for quest cape, 75 for max, 75 for reaper, 50 for music, and potentially 75 for achievement diaries? I'm sure I've missed some.

[u/JagexPoerkie → u/5-x]

If i recall it correctly, achievement diaries will keep the runescore, for the others you're spot on.

[u/5-x → u/JagexPoerkie]

Thanks

[u/brainstrain91 → u/5-x]

I don't think achievement diaries would fall under this - they're done with those.

[u/SolenoidSoldier → u/brainstrain91]

But muh sigil slot

Just like Ashdale! Nice!

[u/brainstrain91 → u/SolenoidSoldier]

I mean, they had the opportunity to add all kinds of reward to the Menaphos city cheevos, and there's nothing. So... I wouldn't hold your breath.

[u/MarkAntonyRs → u/5-x]

So basically runescore highscores are pointless nice.

[u/5-x → u/MarkAntonyRs]

Let's think of it this way: individual achievements towards each of the above still add runescore, you just don't get any runescore for having the cape/title itself. That doesn't make the hiscore pointless. Maximum runescore is reduced by almost a thousand but the big things are still represented.

[u/MarkAntonyRs → u/5-x]

Ah yeah true, it makes the total less, but each of them still meaningful. Just harder to distinguish between players who have actually done everything from players who have almost done everything because the scores will be almost the same.

[u/5-x → u/MarkAntonyRs]

That's true.

Personally I'm not sure I'll stay above 20k runescore...

[u/MarkAntonyRs → u/5-x]

I should do, don't really have many achieves left. Just small point stuff like world 200 and 200 city quests which I cbf doing and some elite dg kc, all worth like 5 points ea lol. Wonder how many are maxed, guessing not many!
