Would rather see the shieldbow (sighted) be a longbow (sighted) and be the equivalent of the Gravite 2H and Gravite Staff. Ranged already has fast hitting weapons, but it still lacks a weapon with average speed. Shields are useless in F2P anyway, due to the lack of defence abilities. I only see people using them for a couple of seconds during Rejuvenate.

Edit; nvm, T55 bows are always worse than gravite knifes due to the lack of T55 arrows. :(

I think we're talking about two mechanics that had been negleteted the last few years.

But if they make shields relevant again (which I could imagine more than attack speed) this would have caused more damage than good (I wouldn't like to remove ranged shields just in order to have two offensive arrow weapons at those tiers) Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

Rather than buffing Mystic staves that members aren't using much past the mid level range, I'd rather see F2p gain access to elemental battlestaves and mystic staves. Currently, F2P have no access to unlimited rune-bearing equipment outside of the standard elemental staves which are all scaled to tier 1 damage and accuracy,

I'd like to see f2p able to fletch their own equipment within Daemonheim as well.

F2P ALSO needs access to the majority of shield abilities, as the only Defensive abilities they may use are Anticipate, Freedom, Rejuvinate, and Bash. While shields provide an armor boost, and a static damage reduction of (defence requirement / 10)%, this is not nearly enough to counter the fact that dual wielding or 2h weaponry sees you inflicting 150% the standard rate of damage, vs the 100% dealt by shield users. I originally had the name Llama. It was stolen from me.

Original message details are unavailable.
- The Fletching skill will introduce an array of staves (see below), ranging from tier 1-60, most of them available to f2p
- Battlestaves are buffed to tier 45 (p2p)
- Mystic staves are buffed to tier 55 (p2p)

Original message details are unavailable.
Several existing staves will be buffed accordingly in order to prevent redundancies (see above)

Just making battle- and mystic staves available to f2p won't solve the problem the game is lacking staves for level 10, 20 and most importantly 50 - note this doesn't just affect f2p, this is also an issue for leveling p2p.

I don't want to change battle- and mystic staves though as they're fairly expensive for their tiers and used as well for p2p crafting training - so I would preferably introduce new staves (which fill out the lack of staves in lower levels), similar to how melee and ranged equipment already can be manufactured cheaply for low levels. An upgrade into a gap tier could give them niche use though then

On the other hand I fully agree with you on fletching for dungeoneering and will add this in later (as I had this totally forgotten) have added it now

I'll also take a look into defensive abilities as they actually fit, but haven't taken them into account yet. First of all I don't think high leveled abilities like Barricade should be f2p, but I'd like to hear some opinions what abilities should be changed and why - so I could elaborate and work them into the thread Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

Make ALL members items go into the members bank.

some of the invasion of port sarim items(crew reroll token etc.)are useless for free players but clog up their bank if not destroyed, to some of my friends it feels like a low-blow.

They've tagged those things for some reason as f2p items so purely mechanically it is working as intended - but yes I guess they should be p2p only Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

The notification for goblin raids needs to be received when the chat settings for game messages is set to"filtered". Currently that has to be set to"all", which is highly annoying if one were to skill whilst waiting for goblin raids.
