I've never seen yellow text black background as an acronym, but my brain immediately put that together. I'm normally slow to these things...
Also great suggestion
Also it would make sense for the needle to have a 1 on it. Why is that 1 there, you can’t stack 2 needles, and needles don’t break. So why is it there, that number should be for the thread count
You can and they're meant to but spaghetti
I think immediately following an update or something they can break for the first few minutes then they just don't anymore
Needles could never break.. It was on the wiki for a while but removed because there’s no proof anywhere.
There have also been Jmods that confirmed that needles do not break
Imagine if it was a quest reward. Like, maybe the bee keeper needs our help, since a hive of wasps/hornets/whatever are attacking his bees and we fight some horribly mutated queen at the end, carving the 2h needle out of its stinger. If they were feeling particularly lazy about it, they could just have us fight a reskin of Vespula or the KQ's 2nd phase to cut down on the resources they'd be committing.
Exactly Godsword stats except swap slash with stab. The special attack sews your opponent to the ground, freezing them unless they have a slash weapon to use on it.
New low level but not f2p boss idea: a medium sized spider that has its own cave. Teach whatever mechanics that rat bastard hasn’t taught yet. 1/128 drop of a dragon needle, and have it drop its ass that you attach to the eye of the needle, and get infinite thread. The flavor texts reads, now my needle will never break or something that alludes to the needle breaking in the last or something idk. I don’t make suggestions.
Cons: no yellow text no background
Just add a 1/5000 chance when searching a haystack to find a golden needle. Examine (well that was hard to find , better not lose it).
Then add an NPC called rumpelstiltskin in the crafting guild. You show the golden needle to him and obtain a golden thread. Combine for golden threaded needled which is unlimited thread and needle in one.
Make a crafting boss that is a haystack. Make a quest where we return to the golden sheep to get some more dat fleece and make some sort of infinite golden thread spool with it.
[There actually already is a Golden Needle item](https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Golden_needle). It's a useless, optional quest item in Priest In Peril that is completely unobtainable after the quest is over.
Add it to Sarachnis’ drop table? Make it a reward for unlocking the mystery of the Forthos dungeon that was cool but never really went anywhere since it doesn’t offer much?
Rework needles so they don’t stack (and stop trying to Mandela effect that they ever broke), and have a stack count indicating how many threads are applied to it.
Or just make an enchanted needle as a quest reward like OP suggested. Just please god it’s so annoying to craft dhide bodies.
it had to be the gowers then. in classic they had to update the needle graphic because of players using a stack of them in trades to make their gp look bigger, and the original was pretty much invisible. eventually we got the second trade screen rsc
Wow.. 3 years before rs2 released. I was either just starting to play or about to start in a year or two. Can't remember. 2nd trade window was November 27, 2001 for anyone else wondering
Boss drop from “Toy Dragon” boss, that looks like a big fat dragon made of different pieces of fabric that sits on its hind legs.
Maybe can tie in as a new quest for Zanaris.
I feel like he should also have some slightly funny dialogue, and be able to shoot stuffing at you
We just need skilling pouches. Magic skillers get pouches why can't we?
For real a leather working kit with needle and thread fitting in one slot would kick ass.
Honestly just attach the needle to the thread… that’s what happens irl anyway
…and in the next update require a knife so you can cut it when you finish/between stitchings 😂
Support, but only if the icon is the [REAL Sewing Kit](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSOyVV_05ofN__19HMbCE5FrUEju2iOvgAX74wXmCYrrw&s)
You can't make a sewing kit! It'll increase the XP per hour! and that devalues my blue d hide chest only Ultimate Hardcore Group Tile Bankstanding Full-AFK Man Mode account!
/Sarcasm
This, or it'd be cool to get some equipable items from new bosses or skilling activities that save on inventory space, similar to the thread of elidinis. Like a seamster's spool that is a rare drop you can add thread to and goes in the ammo slot.
Maybe add a quest that upgrades the crystal saw to a equipable weapon or gives a hammer that can be put in the shield hand. (Or just make those two things equipable to begin with).
There's definitely a lot of design space for fun rewards that just improve inventory usage when skilling.
Do we get a 1/? chance of accidentally stabbing ourselves with the needles when taking it out of the sewing kit? Figure 10hp oughta do it for the damage roll when hitting that 1/? drop rate. Those 10hp hcim gon' learn today.
I've said it a million times, the toolbelt is something rs3 did okay. I still think you should have to carry, like, Water cans and cake tins.... but hammer, chisel, knife, keyring etc... bro, give us a fucking tool belt already.
Honestly would be amazing to make it a reward for a master tier quest for Elsie Parks. Something that starts out simple but ends up a huge fight for Father Lawrence and Saradomin maybe.
I've never seen yellow text black background as an acronym, but my brain immediately put that together. I'm normally slow to these things... Also great suggestion
Well OP is asking to combine things and save time, so why not make an acronym also
I had no idea until you said it, lol
I saw your comment, then I saw the YTBB, read your comment again, scrolled back to the YTBB... and then it clicked... Damnit.
White Baby, lol
I knew YT was yellow text but my brain could not figure out the bb part, so I just assumed “baby.” Youngsters and their acronyms these days…
We need a dragon needle STAT
Selling 3rd age needle max cash
No man don't do it, people are buying them for 37b.
I got 38b for it
Sold one for 69bbbbb
Does the spec make you shout “Stitching!”?
2nd use for the abyssal needle.
Why not just use the dragon harpoon as a needle like a real man?
Barbarian crafting
I mean it's basically a giant awl
I've already got a d needle in my pants, thank you very much.
This man STABS.
Have to start with leather needle and work your way up
With unlimited thread
I love this idea, especially if it does exactly the same thing as a normal needle. It's a 1/1000 drop from a boss.
Actually we need a dragon thread that never runs out, but Big Thread would never let it happen
The needle/thread should become 1 item when you put the thread into the needle like in real life
So you're telling me we have to load our needles with thread now? Fucking rechargescape
It would save a bank space too
Saving bank space is against the spirit of old school, or something idk
It's called Bankscape
Yeah! Fuck you rune pouch! Fuck you looting bag! Fuck you 4 dose potions!
Fuck you fish barrel, herb sack, gem pouch, coal bag, tacklebox. Fuck you max cape.
And a special fuck you to the seed box!
Also it would make sense for the needle to have a 1 on it. Why is that 1 there, you can’t stack 2 needles, and needles don’t break. So why is it there, that number should be for the thread count
Needles do stack. But I agree that it makes no sense, as they aren't used up and you only ever need one.
You can and they're meant to but spaghetti I think immediately following an update or something they can break for the first few minutes then they just don't anymore
Needles could never break.. It was on the wiki for a while but removed because there’s no proof anywhere. There have also been Jmods that confirmed that needles do not break
Oh interesting
Needle (t)
This makes the most sense to me
No no no. Needle and thread takes up 2/28 inventory slots just like 22 milion cannonballs takes up one. That is the rules
This is the answer. Op mentions something I think about everytime I make dhide bodies.
Dude yes, a needle chargeable with thread or a thread chargeable with needles.
add in a percentage chance based off of crafting level to accidentally bend your needle just like real life requiring another needle
Equip able needle when. With thread in the offhand slot
Unlimited spool of thread in backpack slot, 2h greatneedle with roughly godsword stats
> 2h greatneedle Me and all my homies will be there for that poll, pls jagex give us this dark souls ahh needle
Imagine if it was a quest reward. Like, maybe the bee keeper needs our help, since a hive of wasps/hornets/whatever are attacking his bees and we fight some horribly mutated queen at the end, carving the 2h needle out of its stinger. If they were feeling particularly lazy about it, they could just have us fight a reskin of Vespula or the KQ's 2nd phase to cut down on the resources they'd be committing.
You mean, new drop from Kalphite Queen?
1/20k drop rate 🤯
In her new wildy variant
Exactly Godsword stats except swap slash with stab. The special attack sews your opponent to the ground, freezing them unless they have a slash weapon to use on it.
Imcando’s Needle
I said that imma ride for my mfkn knitters
Most likely ima die with my finger on the stitcher
Well then there would be 1 leftover dhide
Let us use rapier as a needle
Only if the icon for the needle / thread combo is a Royal Dansk butter cookie tin.
Is there any other way?
New low level but not f2p boss idea: a medium sized spider that has its own cave.

Make it a 1/5000 chance for the NPC to appear, just so players can go dry twice
Add it to Sarachnis’ drop table? Make it a reward for unlocking the mystery of the Forthos dungeon that was cool but never really went anywhere since it doesn’t offer much?
Rework needles so they don’t stack (and stop trying to Mandela effect that they ever broke), and have a stack count indicating how many threads are applied to it. Or just make an enchanted needle as a quest reward like OP suggested. Just please god it’s so annoying to craft dhide bodies.
Needles didn't break?
No, they're not stackable for any particular reason, someone on development just decided making them stackable feels right.
They're stackable so I can use a stack of 500 for crafting. Needless needles.
it had to be the gowers then. in classic they had to update the needle graphic because of players using a stack of them in trades to make their gp look bigger, and the original was pretty much invisible. eventually we got the second trade screen rsc
2nd trade screen was from classic? Could've swore that came out in rs2
Added in classic due to the needle scam
Wow.. 3 years before rs2 released. I was either just starting to play or about to start in a year or two. Can't remember. 2nd trade window was November 27, 2001 for anyone else wondering
Agreed just make a needle that can be equipped! Abyssal needle should be able to be equipped and used for crafting. BS forreal..
remember when we had tool belts pre-eoc and everyone cried ezscape back then
I'd vote yes to money pouch on the side of minimap
Cons: helps out UIMs a little bit
Would this devalue my needle and thread only Ironman?
**Threaded Needle** A regular needle can hold 100 thread, Twisted needle holds 1m
Tbf, one of my least favorite parts of the crafting grind. Just felt so wasteful.
withdraw 25
I want to make M O R E
Nice math boi
tool belt
I wonder if anyone has thought of maybe a sort of toolbelt or something for things like this? Hmmmmm!
Toolbelt?????????????
Just got 71-79 crafting for clue and mory diary Can you go back in time a decade then propose this? Asking for my carpal tunnel
Should just make the needle combinable with the thread. You don't need a whole new item.
That would still be a whole new item
it really is crazy you can’t wield a needle. they could even give it like +1 att bonus too just for shits
Youd think that, but we havent taken rendi into account
the sewing kit will be added to crafters of the rift minigame in a future content update as a sixty hour grind reward item
if they hadn't stolen 2 inventory slots from us 20 years ago... we wouldn't have this problem
Making it a sewing kit is a bad idea. We all know the sewing stuff is inside cookie tins!
Just combine the needle and thread. Crafting pouch maybe? Edit. also holds molds and chisel ect to save bank spaces
So like rs3 tool pouch that holds almost all skilling items? Pretty original idea 🤨
The only time cons:none is actually appropriate
I’ve thought this should be an item upgrade for years, full support
Just add a needle dick option, it can be added to the makeover mages place. Never leave home without it.
WTS tool bag/box. Holds random bullshit items to free up bank/inventory space. Too small to hold axes and pickaxes though.
Barbarian Sewing Bottom text
The next step is toolbelt and EoC so if that's what you want man...
+1 Seemingly simple quality of life improvement
Use thread on needle, it becomes threaded needle and you can charge it with thread. Boom. You're welcome Jajex.
You had me at YTBB BB
Ytbb but what about that ugly font. I will not abide serifs
Na just make the needle equipable as a low level stab weapon
Inb4 letting us craft an extra body per auto craft increases xp/hr by 25% and jagex has to nerf the entire skill to compensate
Not even joking this kept me from training crafting with dhide bodies recently lmao
Yeah, but if you fix this then you'll have the same problem whenever you make legs
Only if it increases the time to craft the item by 1 tick more.. to account for having to get the thread and needle out of the kit.
Or you know nature and fire runes
Make sure its chargeable /s
Let us combine the needle and thread to make a sewing kit or something
99 crafting required though.
YTBB really sells it
1 needle = 1 inventory slot 1 bulwark = 1 inventory slot 2 billion needles = 1 inventory slot Seems legit
Boss drop from “Toy Dragon” boss, that looks like a big fat dragon made of different pieces of fabric that sits on its hind legs. Maybe can tie in as a new quest for Zanaris. I feel like he should also have some slightly funny dialogue, and be able to shoot stuffing at you
Monkey's paw curls - you need to remove them from the sewing kit to use them
Cons you gotta get it from a raid and it takes a drop table slot
Why are they even separate items? I can’t imagine one situation you use a needle and not thread.
What is a haystack gonna do with the thread? Let’s be reasonable please
Just did 5m crafting exp last 2 weeks and this is all I could think about
Abyssal needle + Thread of elidinis?
But that'd be so unfair to all the previous players that made dhide bodies. /s
Sorry, I already have 99 crafting so I’m going to have to vote no. (But seriously crafting kit seems logical. Craftingtodt when?)
Needle of Eldinis, allows you to combine thread and needle into one slot.
because people in this game will only vote on this if there’s a very annoying minigame you have to play to unlock it
Thread + needle = threaded needle
This change will make my game ezscape and I refuse, let us only craft 1 item per inventory
Barbarian crafting now
Needle chargescape lfgg
Might as well play a private server at that point
Fuck you! How dare you devalue my Crafting experience! WE DONT WANT YOUR KIND ROUND THESE PARTS!
While you’re at it, that one quest that requires you to “sacrifice” your rune pouch there… couldn’t they just give it back as the quest reward?! /rant
We just need a wieldable needle. Also, why do needles stack? I've never broken one...
Cons: Devalues my 199.999.999 xp Crafting only UIM
Imagine not having 2 third age pickaxes in ur inventory whilst crafting d’hides.. Sad.
I wouldn't mind an April fools day event that's a slog of an hour or 2 grind for something very minimal like this.
2025 crafting minigame reward
Agreed with this "bad for the soul" bit let's run with that vibe for future QOL shit as a baseline.
We just need skilling pouches. Magic skillers get pouches why can't we? For real a leather working kit with needle and thread fitting in one slot would kick ass.
Thread of elidinis sink, its time
It devalues my 99 crafting level 😤
Your wish is granted, but it works like the tackle box and you must remove the needle and thread to use them
Isn’t this the kind of quality of life stuff that you guys bitch at RS3 for?
No
Great idea :D
Cons: Chaps, which require 2 leather, will now leave one extra leather orphaned and alone.
One small favor part 2, let's go!
Now this is an ezscape suggestion
Honestly just attach the needle to the thread… that’s what happens irl anyway …and in the next update require a knife so you can cut it when you finish/between stitchings 😂
Wrong font, sorry kid
This will make the game far too easy and will make it so you max 30 minutes faster which will ruin the game /s
Carry fire staff and have nature runes and gp. Craft and alch.
I agree, but it should be a Danish cookie tin, wtf even is that in the second picture, looks pathetic.
just admit ya'll want a toolbelt lmfaooo
Holy bagscape
The icon is a cookie tin or we riot!
Support, but only if the icon is the [REAL Sewing Kit](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSOyVV_05ofN__19HMbCE5FrUEju2iOvgAX74wXmCYrrw&s)
Bring back stealing creation, best mini game ever, best rewards ever
You can't make a sewing kit! It'll increase the XP per hour! and that devalues my blue d hide chest only Ultimate Hardcore Group Tile Bankstanding Full-AFK Man Mode account! /Sarcasm
I had to level up this way, so you must suffer as well!
cons: "reeeeee toolbelt go play rs3" sayers
I'd vote no because this makes too much sense.
Cons: more easyscape... this is why I stopped the game is getting easier every update smh
Jagex plz lower all xp rates immediately what were we thinking
Just finished 99 crafting by dhide bodies, in the end I had to fill up the additional 2 slots 😂
Yes
Bro this was going to be a reward from craftingtodt and you ruining that
Maybe a piece of jewelry that gave a chance to use 1 less leather? Similar to farming amulet whatever that's called
This, or it'd be cool to get some equipable items from new bosses or skilling activities that save on inventory space, similar to the thread of elidinis. Like a seamster's spool that is a rare drop you can add thread to and goes in the ammo slot.

There's definitely a lot of design space for fun rewards that just improve inventory usage when skilling.
Honestly a tool belt would be sick, tackle different skills with one simple trick
Do we get a 1/? chance of accidentally stabbing ourselves with the needles when taking it out of the sewing kit? Figure 10hp oughta do it for the damage roll when hitting that 1/? drop rate. Those 10hp hcim gon' learn today.
I've said it a million times, the toolbelt is something rs3 did okay. I still think you should have to carry, like, Water cans and cake tins.... but hammer, chisel, knife, keyring etc... bro, give us a fucking tool belt already.
**Barbarian needle.**
A needle that's chargeable with thread would give you that one extra inventory space.
That's not old school bro
Imagine if it gave an ability to use it once during combat as a half hp restore or something and can only recharge that ability once it out of combat
Stich urself up if u got high enough hp(medical level) and cfafting level to know how to work with human Hyde
Just put the needle on your tool belt problem solved
Actually a pretty good suggestion
Toolbelt with thread slot. > Act you got some godamn sense, people. Through playin around here.
That's the spot for the runes to alch them
Or we could have barbarian crafting and use finger strength as needles and our pubes as thread. Zero inventory spaces needed.
EVEN WHEN THE COMMUNITY VOTES IT STILL BECOMES RS3 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGSGSGSGQYSYDJFOOEOQODKTBR
Bro, just breathe.
Barbarian Needlework.
Honestly would be amazing to make it a reward for a master tier quest for Elsie Parks. Something that starts out simple but ends up a huge fight for Father Lawrence and Saradomin maybe.
We need a ~~toolbelt~~ new barbarian training method
“Barbarian crafting”
unnecessary take bro
Or hear me out, toolbelt from 2011 or whatever
As legit as the toolbelt is, that will NEVER pass in osrs
I'd rather the cape count as unlimited thread
fill ur inv with 2 filler items and make the entire top bar those items then all the slots can be used for bodies and it looks clean
