Lot of great things here. Really good job listening to the community and delivering with this. My only concern as an iron is although being able to get sheets will be easier with the higher weighted frost dragon tasks is that it will make the already long grind of getting an imbued heart even harder since it will compete with abby/smoke/araxyte tasks

Thank you for the feedback, it means a lot.

A dev told me you can toggle the weighting on and off so hopefully that should help? The team has considered that grind when making these changes - keep an eye out for upcoming news in the future. 😄

Have you considered increasing the base weight and making the task itself an unlock instead? Right now leveling sailing past 87 kinda rags your early slayer training by unlocking a fairly slow task.

This is a far more sensible approach, and in line with existing slayer unlocks.

If this is a toggleable unlock for slayer then I'm all for it.

Isn't this quite convoluted when we start having certain tasks weighting being able to be tailored like that? Why do we have it with frost dragons and no other monsters? Why even have weightings in the first place then? Why not just have frost dragons being a toggle on or off then?

Seriously what a stupid thing for them to write and get a jmod reply even. Like you're an iron so things won't be as easy to get or as quick to get as a main? Oh no! Who could imagine that unfairness! That's not what being an iron is about, it's about having an icon next to your name and absolutely nothing else. Everything should be made considering ironmen!

You can deiron at any point? It's not the point of making things easier. It's literally the exact opposite
