This is kinda sad, but at this point I trust Jagex to design a good game, and if they think it's for the best it probably is. Hope the DT2 rewards end up being worth it regardless.

That was a long article, I am surprised they went into so much depth

Hopefully a few of them can be added to the regular book via scroll drops in the future. Really wanted the accuracy one for hammer lul

That's quite disappointing.. I understand that it was a lot for this quest though and if they would want to get the prayers right, they would probably have to delay the quest release. I think it wasn't a bad idea to try to create an alternative prayerbook instead of just a better prayerbook, but that is just really hard. And I think they should stick a bit closer to ancient curses, if they just wanted to create a better prayerbook. I guess this also means we won't see skilling prayers for a while.

I'm actually pretty glad they got scrapped. I wasn't really keen on the prayers they offered. It was a ton of DPS increase, which together with all the new high dps gear we got recently seemed a bit overkill. Adding to that, from what my friends who had a chance to try them told me, the prayers had huge prayer drain and could be 1-tick flicked. I was pretty worried 1-tick flicking ruinous powers would have become meta for any group pve content.
