Since the minigame is not introducing a brand new boss, there was some discussion about whether new pets are always appropriate for minigames, or whether they can be unnecessary additions. Some players told us that Guardians of the Rift pet is not necessary as a reward from the minigame, considering that we already have a Rift Guardian pet obtainable via traditional Runecraft methods. That's difficult for us to estimate at this stage, but we'll be closely monitoring how the XP rate holds up at launch and adjusting accordingly. Since Guardians of the Rift involves loads of conscious player decisions, the XP rate is entirely contingent on how well the player knows the minigame. We absolutely believe that greater effort should mean higher rewards.
They're subject to change both during the feedback stage and after the content releases, and we'll constantly be reviewing player feedback to ensure the XP rates are sufficiently rewarding. The XP rates given in the blog are a ballpark estimation of where they will sit compared with existing methods. These are all things we're taking into account when it comes to balancing. It's also click-intensive and causes players to lose GP rather than make it. You need to unlock Lunars, have a high Magic level, and a collection of Binding Necklaces. Although unlocked at level 23 Runecraft, which is relatively easy to achieve, the method requires a considerable amount of setup to be efficient. Speaking of which, we've seen a lot of discussion about Lava Runes and whether they should be the most XP per hour. However, we want the XP per hour to sit underneath the (maximum efficiency) Lava Rune method. Guardians of the Rift should sit above ZMI for XP as it is more click intensive in comparison to ZMI. Players also told us that the minigame's focus should be about increasing XP rather than making GP. Some players told us that the XP per hour rate should be increased.
