Overview

  • Jagex has opened a 14-day in-game poll that will delete Treasure Hunter if it receives at least 100,000 yes votes, with voting scheduled to run through November 12.
  • Outlets report the tally has already surpassed 90,000 yes votes, with a public counter showing rapid participation since the poll launched.
  • If the threshold is met, Jagex will remove Treasure Hunter and roughly 220–225 gameplay-benefiting items, including XP Lamps, Proteans, Portables, and Dummies.
  • Purchasable Bonus XP will remain with per-skill caps alongside cosmetics, and players who already own affected items will get an amnesty period to use them.
  • A successful vote will trigger a year-long Integrity Roadmap targeting UI, onboarding, dailyscape, combat, and XP progression, while Treasure Hunter will stay if the goal is not reached.
