Some authenticity improvements for the dramen tree

Player Name requested to merge PlayerName/2009scape:dramen into master

What has been done in this MR?

  1. The dramen tree now has the highest possible chop speed of 255. I looked at a selection of sources for this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lusxmbLCj0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPrz3USdhfs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZOygjtelhU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmEWipekjFY) who all get the branch on their first chop. Note that even with the chop rate at 255, we're still not entirely authentic, since it still takes us four chops to get it rather than one, but it's a significant improvement. (I believe that getting it down further would require architectural changes, but I don't have the necessary knowledge to say that with confidence -- let alone to do it.)
  2. Chopping the dramen tree now aborts once you have obtained the branch. This is clearly visible in at least one of the sources above, and also explains why both sources that obtained multiple branches felt the need to do so by spam-clicking. Annoying and inconsistent with other trees, but authentic.
  3. The tree spirit no longer accesses the rare seed drop table and now always drops nothing (https://runescape.wiki/w/Dramen_tree_spirit?oldid=1783292)
  4. The tree spirit can now be attacked by other players. This is bizarre, but authentic - here we see a video of somebody stealing a kill from somebody else's tree spirit and being allowed to cut the tree as if he'd killed it himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvOpuHnUkcA

What should testers check?

::setqueststage 83 20

  1. Chop speed is as described
  2. You do not automatically continue chopping, but need to click the tree again for each extra branch you want to get
  3. ::rolldrops 655 10000 always gives nothing
  4. Use an alt to confirm that the spirit no longer rejects attacks
  • I have tested these changes thoroughly.

  • I used the relevant Thanos/Zaros tool for any JSON edits where possible, and have attached screenshots of any changes.
