Why does it suddenly have to jump from rather underwhelming rewards to 'OP as fuck'?

Community reward is about 1B value. Thats pretty standard no?

• Dharok’s set
• Abyssal whip
• Amulet of fury
• Dragon Defender
• Berserker ring
• Barrows gloves
• 5 x Potion Box
• 500x rocktails
• 20k Astral, 10k Death and 50k Earth runes
• 500 pkp
• 500 slayer points.
Zamorak personal goal rewards are worth roughly 1.2-1.5b.
  • 2 Chaotic repair kits
  • 300 Gold leafs
  • 300 Mahogany planks
  • 5 crystal keys
  • 3 Main Melee sets
  • Ancient prayer book
  • 400 PKhonor points
This events rewards are worth roughly 500m discluding the ancient prayer book as a large percentage of players participating in this event will already have the ancient prayer book, especially seeing as the event is in the wilderness which will be a deterrent for newer players.
Callisto is located in the wilderness, so we’ve slightly buffed the rewards to reflect this extra risk as best possible.

not that i care about the personal goal rewards xd, its rank 1 or bust for me xd

Because there is no decent middle ground to be found for these events. Everyone is viewing this from an ench comp veteran perspective while people forget not all events are designed in a way to cater/scale to this minority of players. This event is an excellent example: Getting curses if you already have curses is kinda shit. But for a newer player it means saving a load of gp and pkp they could spend somewhere else. So yeah idk, maybe an outlandish idea but... let the noobs have some events catered to them?

And what percentage of those that reach the personal goal during a wilderness PvM event will those noobs be?

Rewards don't need to be 'OP as fuck', but come on...

DKS - Even the DK reward was more useful than this.... and its DKS out of everything
Spoiler: show
• 50 overloads (4)
• Ranger boots & Robin Hood hat
• 100 rings of recoil
• Uncut onyx
• 500 raw Rocktails
• 100m coins
• 50 Dagannoth bones
• 500 PkHonor points
• 500 pest control points
Compare this to last event, were you have access to morph, and 3 DK, as compared to the 1 Callisto, on top of the risk to go out and do it.

2 Chaotic repair kits - they are what, 140m? or the pkp
300 Gold leafs - Random to fit in with the boss?
300 Mahogany planks - Random to fit in with the boss?
5 crystal keys - Ok with this one, angry bear does drop a lot of half keys
3 Main Melee sets - tf is a main melee set? the rune defender, d scim, glory and torag legs? ok?
Ancient prayer book - Kinda pointless if you already have curses?
400 PKhonor points - basically making this 4-5 repair kits then?

At least make it seem worthwhile to do. Right now it just seems like a last minute event was thrown together because there wasn't one this weekend and I saw plenty of people complaining. Maybe not, IDK, but that's what it seems like.

At least let irons participate in the "individual rewards", seeing as how a majority of the kills will most likely be from spawners, and they/we could benefit from those actual rewards.
