Potions lvl 4 - casual tasks

[Abel]

I would like to inform you how complicated and unbalanced the game is in the casual tasks section. You're asked for a lot of tasks to create level 4 potions, which are VERY, VERY hard to come by. They're almost elite-level tasks. needs to be fixed and put potions lvl 1 or 2.

Really, is very hard create potions lvl 4 for only casual tasks. Is ridiculous. U need make more than 15.000 potions for go to lvl 4.

Honestly this is minor grinding compared to other things you have to do. I'm not even 200 hrs in and I already have two potion 4's.

I find the game very well though out and well balanced but the game doesn't give you alot of short cuts that's for sure. I call it a runecraft obsessive grindfest simulator, but at least it's an idle one.

The game "dares" you to get achievements, just depends how dedicated you are to get them.

But I'm talking about casual tasks. Compare getting 300 Lvl 4 potions to getting 30 Iron Ingots. It is by far the most complex casual task. It's elite level. It doesn't make sense for that task to appear casually. Compared to all the other tasks, this one is the unbalanced one

You can simply skip that task though, for a fee :)

If you can manage to grind your herblore skill level up to 71, you can use herblore potions to get level 4 potions you aren't able to normally make otherwise. Those tasks become much more manageable then.

Yes, i know that and i have a lot of this potions, but is 3% other lvl. And tasks put 300 potions lvl 4.
Really is VERY HARD and unbalanced this tasks of potions in casual tasks respect others tasks.

Alls others tasks requires of 5 or 10 minutes untill 20 minutes, all. But this of potions requires DAYS for complet. Very big unbalanced.

For example, my last 2 tasks casuasl:
Require 2000 runite ore. Easy, only a few minutes.
Require 500 maple logs. Easy, only a few minutes.

Potions lvl 4:
Require 300 lethal toxins potion. VERY HARD, need +20.000 or lucky with herblore potions, but is 3% and need 300 lvl 4. Maybe need more than 10.000. Need days for complet and get the materials. Only for get the materiales need days, coz is herbs and need plant and wait for them to grow.

Really, this is very bad unbalanced. No one see this?

The casual tasks are supposed to help you level your township to 120.
(maybe someone who can play this game as active can use them to speed town production but that still feels unlikely)

This said, some of those tasks are way beyond level of someone still trying to build their township. This might be balance decision, to avoid someone getting town production through spamming casual tasks, but considering the time they would have to invest in that (unless boting), I wouldn't even mind.

Need days for complete and get the materials.

I just don't see it as unbalanced, and the wording might be wrong, it shouldn't be called "Casual Tasks" but "Random Tasks" from a global pool of tasks that are easy and/or hard.

We shouldn't look at this game in hours or days, but months or even years and that's what this grindfest idle game is.

That's why only 1.7% achieve the "complete" challenge. Even then that's just one Steam achievement.

For me, this task is unbalanced, because it is the only one with that degree of complexity. And they never ask for potions from other levels, only from 4.

To make level 4 potions you need to create more than 20,000 potions, and each one involves 2 components, and from each component they ask for 1 or 2 units. Which means you need about 50,000 or 60.000 items (or more). Compared to any other casual task, this is the elite-level one. Just this one.

Unless and until potions become downgradeable or you can select what level you brew, the tasks kind of have to be for level 4s. If you got one for a level below what you brew, herblore potions or potion boxes (which have high requirements) would be the only way to fulfill it. If you got one for 300 level 1s, you'd level out of them before you could possibly fulfill the task. Locking the tasks to level 4s is the only way to make sure they can currently be done by directly using the skill.
