Two recent quality of life updates made to Old School RuneScape, which I would like to see be made to Alora. Both not necessarily a priority, but something I would eventually like to see in the near future.

 

 

 

Autocast Options

 

Magical weapons which share the same spell selections will now remember previously chosen spells for autocasting. This means you can switch between your various weapons, knowing that the same spell will be ready when you switch back to your staff or wand! Note that your autocast selection will not be remembered in PvP areas.

Combat Styles

 

Weapons that share a category (daggers, swords, bows etc.) will now remember the combat style that was used. For example, if you equip a Rune sword and select the Aggressive option before switching to another weapon like a bow and changing style to Accurate, switching back to the Rune sword will retain the Aggressive combat style.

Here's an example of how the two changes above may interact to be aware of:

 

If you use the Ancient staff on autocast mode, and are on the Ancients spellbook, you can correctly select an ancients spell. If you then switch to a sword, you come off of autocast, and if you switch back you go onto autocast.

 

However, if you switch to, say, a Fire staff which cannot cast ancients, it correctly switches to melee mode because it can't cast Ancients. This then has changed the combat mode for all staves, so re-equipping that Ancient staff will not put it back into autocast mode.

The autocast option would be a nice thing to have especially when you are hybriding. Supporting this.

It would certainly be useful for some bosses, wouldn't it? Especially at Dagannoth Kings. Thanks for the support.

"Note that your autocast selection will not be remembered in PvP Areas."

Very important thing to keep in mind. 

 

Outside of that - Sure, there is a reason they changed it.

I was meant to make that note more visible in the suggestion, but I forgot to - I'll go and do it right away before this suggestion gains more views.

I probably wouldn't have gone ahead and suggested it if it applied for PvP, and I'm sure Omicron will add in a better caution/warning message as to what Old School RuneScape did.

Thanks for the support, everyone! With the first addition not being applied for PvP, then without a doubt it won't be applied if the addition was added to Alora.

Definitely a great update for PvM. Best to leave PvP unchanged.
