DarkScape Drops High Alchemy


pain

High alchemy is a spell in RuneScape that transforms items into cash, at the cost of fire and nature runes and with the benefit of being a potentially fast and profitable way of training magic. Incidentally, the spell has also been the root cause of much of RuneScape’s inflation in the past, a problem that the DarkScape team hopes to rectify with today’s update. DarkScape players logged in today to find that high alchemy has been removed from the spell book, although its limited uses still exist on the explorer’s ring.

Jagex has talked recently about how DarkScape’s new economy allows them to make more drastic changes to the game that wouldn’t be possible in RuneScape 3 or Old School. Considering the more hardcore nature of the game, Jagex plans on introducing a variety of extensive changes to fit the existing game around the new structure. Whether or not something will be introduced to replace high alchemy will be seen.
