What is your suggestion?
Add Banknote Exchange Merchant NPCs
To clarify: this suggestion is aimed primarily at Phials in Rimmington
Add Phials; located next to the Rimmington General Store in Rimmington (5 coins per item) (Remove the duplicate NPC as well)
Add Tiles; by the general store (Bandit Bargains) in the Bandit Camp in the Kharidian Desert (5 coins per item)
Add Aisles; inside the general store in Tai Bwo Wannai, Karamja ( 5 coins per item)
Add Banknote Exchange Merchant; This NPC is located next to the general store in Pollnivneach (5 coins per item)
Add Virilis; located next to the exposed altar on Ralos' Rise. He only un-notes bones that can be blessed at the exposed altar (10 coins per item)
Note: Chaos Druid @ Chaos Altar is already coded but it's 200 coins per bone on Alora & 50 coins on OSRS to reflect the economy
Is this in OSRS?
Yes
Has this suggestion been accepted already?
No for whatever crazy reason
How would this benefit Alora?
Adding banknote exchange merchant NPCs to Alora RSPS would provide significant benefits by improving convenience for specific game modes, streamlining item management, and enhancing overall economic efficiency.
Increased Convenience for Ultimate Ironmen (UIM)
The primary benefit is providing players a reliable method to un-note items without having to use a general store and worry about other players taking their items.
This also offers a safer, more efficient way for them to manage large amounts of resources.
Streamlined Item Management
All players can use these NPCs to quickly convert noted items into usable inventory space for a small fee, which simplifies resource processing, skilling activities, and restocking.
Reduced Spam and Friction in Trading
While Alora has a Trading Post, a direct NPC exchange can further reduce the need for players to use public or yell chat to find ways to un-note or sell large quantities of items, leading to a cleaner chat experience.
Minor Gold Sink
The small coin fee per item exchanged acts as a minor gold sink, which can help in long-term inflation management within the server's economy.
Consistency with OSRS Experience
Adding features that align with official OSRS content makes the server feel more polished, modern, and familiar to players who are accustomed to the original game, improving player retention and satisfaction.
Support for Merchanting
By providing quick and reliable item liquidity, these NPCs can indirectly support merchanting and flipping activities, as players can more rapidly convert notes into physical items for use or resale.
The addition is a QOL improvement that respects the limitations of specific game modes while making general gameplay more efficient and user-friendly for everyone with short and long-term account goals.
As always, thanks for reading!
