Leechfin & Preparation Station Opinion Poll

Total Votes: 33,741

Why are we doing this?

When we design new skilling content, we try to strike a balance between XP rates and meaningful rewards. Too much reward can overshadow existing methods. Too little, and the activity feels pointless.

In our Blood Moon Rises overview blog, we introduced Leechfin Fishing and its proposed reward, the Leechfin Sandwich. While the Fishing activity passed, the Sandwich didn't. That tells us the core activity works, but the reward needs a rethink.

This opinion poll is about direction. Should Leechfin fishing have a reward at all? If so, what kind? And how do you feel about preparation stations as a wider system?

We're not locking anything in here - just gathering your thoughts before we move onto next steps.
