Suggestion Improve the fairy ring interface instead of adding a fourth wheel

Post image

With Fairytale III on the horizon, I've been thinking about how the fairy ring network could be expanded without making the interface more cumbersome.

Instead of adding a fourth wheel, what if we expanded the existing three sections with extra letters?

My suggestions:

• click to select: Add more letters to each section to allow for new destinations while keeping the familiar three-letter code system.

• spinning is annoying: Instead of rotating through the letters, just click once for each letter and save time.

• Keep letters upright: With the current wheels, some letters can end up upside down, making them difficult to read. A selection-based interface would keep the letters easy to identify.

• Native keyboard entry: RuneLite already allows players to type fairy ring codes directly. It would be great to have this functionality in the official client too.

This would let Jagex expand the fairy ring network while keeping the three-letter format, making destinations easier to select, and avoiding the need for a fourth wheel.

I've attached my concept to illustrate how the interface could look.

What do you think?

u/oOSaFiOo 2376 5d ago

thats what i was aiming for. i was tbh confused about how jagex would approach the fourth wheel when it comes to that, would they just have 2 variations of 3 letter teles aswell as 4? or just add an extra letter to all existing teles.

27

u/AcFLaptop 5d ago

I was under the impression no existing ones change but new ones would be added with the additional letter

u/Gen_Zer0 5d ago

If there’s a fourth wheel there’s always going to be a fourth letter. There’s no way to not change any existing ones

u/CaponeKevrone is this how it feels to chew 5 gum? 5d ago

4th wheel could have a blank as an option i guess

13

u/sling_cr IGN: Slingming 5d ago

I think he means the 4th wheel would be a,b,c,d for example and every already existing code would have A as the 4th option and since that’s the default selected one you wouldn’t have to interact with the 4th wheel at all.

9

u/AcFLaptop 5d ago

In a way that was my expectation, the fourth wheel would only be utilized by the new codes the old ones essentially just don't interact with the fourth wheel at all. For instance bjs stays island off zulrah, but maybe bjsa puts you on aquanites island etc. The three letter codes could keep you in a general region so there's some a consistency, and the fourth letter just gives a new spot.

I think what I really like about your approach is that patterns can be memorised visually as well, rather than the letters themselves. For example, BJS (blowjobs) is the code for Zulrah, whereas in your version I could just remember up-up-up instead of getting horny every time I wanna slay some serpent

The worst part about the fourth code wheel would be how much more difficult it'd be to memorize everything. BJS could surely mean Big Juicy Snake, but then it'd be WXYZ or something for the last wheel? So Big Juicy Snake... Xylophone.

Having it this way allows us to keep memorizing silly things like BaLleR to know where you're going.

You could also give each position on the wheel a unique colour so people can remember colour combos as well.

You can't type in the code directly, but you can type in the descriptions. So if you start typing "zul" it will bring up BJS for Zul-Andra. or "kal" will bring up BIQ for the Kalphite hive.

It's funny because zanaris was very clearly designed for big future expansion that never happened. Many of the map squares around zanaris were left empty to provide room for a bigger city in the future. As you've shown, the fairy ring system was designed with missing letters to allow for bigger wheels in the future.

The future is now, old man.

u/kevinsaurus 5d ago

I really hoped they would add sailing to areas outside of the actual seas of Gielinor. Needing a special ship that could sail through the lava flow of the Tzhaar caves or the cosmic seas of the moon Zanaris is located on would be a really cool setting for future barracuda trials or combat encounters.

Yeah the original designers even left space for this, the left wheel is the start of the alphabet, the middle wheel is the middle, and the right wheel is near the end. So you can add extra letters no problem without changing any codes.

8

u/FalsifyTheTruth 5d ago

Honestly, it feels like this the way they intended for it to expand. Why else would they leave letters between the groups?

The only notable downside is that a 4th ring of 4 gives more space than 3 rings of 5 or 6. But unless Jagex goes fucking hard with new fairy rings, there's no real reason we need that many. 64 has lasted us this long. 125 or 216 would last more than long enough.

63 vs 44 (44 has more possibilities).

A 4th ring would be bananas, especially on mobile.

Keeping the letters upright is definitely a QOL that should have happened. You can have rotating circles with more than 4 letters.

With the new design having the letters in the middle is pointless, reduces readability, and increases mental load. Having the letters be highlighted in a different color is much better.

The rotating speed is much nicer from before but still feels like a slog in my opinion.

I could imagine the 4 nodes on each wheel being directly tied to the rng of something like the rate of getting a tome of fire, and them switching it up to 6 nodes a wheel makes the tome of fire start being rewarded almost everytime or something crazy.

My only thought is that the 4 wheel might allow for some fairy rings to be locked behind the quest. Perhaps more powerful ones? I could envision the fourth wheel having a “-“ or blank to not ruin the current codes but would allow for 4 combination ones if you included z to bjsz or something

u/Zacflame The Torchbearer 5d ago

I don't think this is better than adding a 4th wheel.

The only thing I think better than a 4th wheel would be a simple switch or button that has to be "turned on" for just the second generation of fairy rings. The downside is that that only doubles the potential code pool, opposed to a 4th ring's quadrupling. However, I'd be shocked if we ever get to the point where we more than double our fairy ring count in the next 25 years.

I like it and think it would be better to add more to existing wheels than a fourth wheel. But I kinda would miss the rotary dialing... Maybe there could be a toggle or something. Or just keep the rotary dialing but allow key input or such to bypass it, similar to have favorites already work.

Yeah, idk why they want to add another wheel, this is a much better concept

u/rws531 5d ago

Not that it really matters, but this gives 216 (6^3) rings while a fourth dial gives 256 (4^4).

u/oOSaFiOo 2376 5d ago

with only 55 fairy rings in the last 20 years, id comfortably say it'd be awhile before we have to worry about reaching 200 fairy rings let alone 250 lol.

u/thegx7 5d ago

It does matter. Up from the current selection space of 64 (43). Even 5 opens up the space a lot. 125 (53).

Really well thought out so that the codes people have memorized don’t change. Good job

I don't love changing iconic interfaces for the sake of it. They've already improved the usage of the interface with the remembered codes on the right, favourites, right click menu favourites, and we have searching anyway.

You don't need to manually spin any code if you choose not to.

Let me just add more favourites and do whatever you want with the rest lmao

u/Illuminarian 5d ago

Capitalize the center letters. So when looking up a code it is actually easily distinguishable.

u/pwd-- 5d ago

Yes

u/Jarhead1888 5d ago

I also like this because sometimes it is hard for me to read the selected input through the white filter applied to the selected input.

u/IPadeI 5d ago

This is a very good suggestion! I've also got tired of the rotating wheels.

2

u/itisnotmehere 2376 5d ago

The thing is they would either have to have weird wheels where first 4 letters are consecutive and the next 2 are from a different part of the alphabet - would look weird.  The other option would be to have consecutive lettering on each wheel but that would mean changing all the fairy ring codes

u/Designer-Disastrous 5d ago

Love the idea with click to select and letters being upright. But i think a 4th wheel with that ifea will be better for less clutter on screen. Im also confident the 4th letter is to tie really good teleports to be locked behind this quest

u/Dysfunkytional 5d ago

I had always assumed the fairy ring system was meant to be a reference to dialling an address in Stargate.

The 8th and 9th symbols of a Stargate address add additional distance calculations, like an extra area code of a telephone number.

The “joys of a fourth wheel” may then be a reference to the rings being able to access a new type of destination, ones that are potentially even further away or in another dimension.

I thought this lore/story hint might be what was being teased, but I don’t think the community has cottoned on to the Stargate reference.

u/shitsparrow 5d ago

How about one big wheel that looks like the fairy ring.

You light up the mushrooms in a sequence and it triangulates a magic coordinate or something. Could still use 3 letter codes if you wanted

I like this but ultimately i just hope its faster to use. I nowadays just use the favorites list or i type my destination in. I dont spin them anymore

u/GoGreeb 4d ago

We should get a cool map interface to click on the tele location instead

u/Frequent_Durian7423 4d ago

I like this better. I always hate turning the wheels and would rather click the ones I need.

Question for those of you that also have the Lunby elite diary done ;

If they do end up implementing the change to no longer needing the elite diary done (which is gatekept by the quest cape) to travel fairy rings without a dramen staff and gaining the perk once completing fairy tale 3, would you like to see changes to the elite lumby diary rewards? Drakan and dt2 bosses basically gatekeep alot of players from finishing this diary. Along with it getting harder and harder to get the cape in general with all the new quests coming in to the game.

Point being, if they do make it so you no longer need the elite diary done to gain the perk they should REALLY re think the rewards for the diary imo. Otherwise theres no incentive to get the diary done besides the diary cape.

u/oOSaFiOo 2376 3d ago

personally i think no staff should just stay a diary reward.

u/Gentlemanboy drowning 2d ago

I liked the concept but it's just cheaper as an option than the one for extra dial, adding one letter to each dial doubles the amount of possible options, adding one more dial is almost 4x more options, up to 250~...
