It's high level content for a reason.

You're not going to have a level 90 weapon that you have to make like a Rune Crossbow.

Even if the raw materials required level 99 across multiple skills, it would be far too easy to obtain.

If you choose not to incorporate combat into your gameplay then you have to deal with the consequences.

I made my enchanted bolts using non combat skills, mining, smithing, fletching, magic.

I was always able to fire the bolts I made with a crossbow I made using non combat skills.

This was taken away from me and no non combat skills replacement for the rune crossbow ever made.

Am I supposed to just throw away my thousands of bolts I made because Jagex thinks everyone boss fights and because they neglected to make a suitable player made crossbow to replace the rune crossbow, that does not require boss fighting to make or obtain?

Why should I not be able to use the bolts I made for use with my rune crossbow, which used to work with my rune crossbow, simply because I do not boss fight?

If the bolts are made using non combat skills, and the bow they used to work with was made using non combat skills, Jagex needs to make a crossbow which is made using non combat skills to replace the rune crossbow which was made using non combat skills.

I should not be stuck with bolts I made for use with my rune crossbow and not be able to use them. Hi.

I don't disagree with you there. I had the same issue when EoC was first released because I didn't like Dungeoneering and didn't have a Chaotic Crossbow to fire my higher-leveled bolts.

It's stupid that they removed the Rune Crossbow's ability to fire them.

But if you expect a high level crossbow without any combat drops being a factor, then you probably shouldn't. It would just be too easy.

Perhaps a non-combat mini-game or something that gives it a randomization factor or time to acquire factor, but definitely not from simply skilling.

It seems every time a Jmod posts on the forums they ignore any kind of negative criticism.


So true!

Jagex i hope you will be matture cuz you act like a bunch of stubborn kids who ignore every single negative feedback.

Give FFS the loyal community OUR year back and OUR loyalty shop a good update!


In 6 months Jagex is cappable of making 400+ SoF and SGS micro-transaction contents but aren't cappable of adding a decent item content to the loyalty shop for over 1 year.

True as hell. of all the comments on here, I agree with this one the most.

How do you strategize around an unstoppable one-hit kill?

You know there won't be any way to stop it.

*thinks deeply*, Vorago's one-hit kills me.

*thinks deeperly*, Vorago again one-hit kills me.

Omg, I didn't get back to Vorago in time to get in on the lootshare...RANT RANT.

Am I rite, or am I rite? *sigh*

First quest in a couple months, and a high tier boss.....although I want to say I'm excited for these updates, I'm not as excited as I want to be. Looking forward to the humor in the new quest and watching videos of Vorago, I guess. These updates aren't for me.

Imagine if you made 16,000 blood runes.

Then Jagex updates the game so now you have to kill Vorago to get a new magic staff to use blood runes, but you don't boss fight.

You now have 16,000 blood runs you made for use with a staff you also made, but suddenly the blood runes can not be used with the staff you made. You can still make more blood runes the same way, but you can't use them any more.

That is basically what happened fro me with my bolts I made for use with my rune crossbow.

I have over 16,000 bolts I made for use with my rune crossbow which suddenly can not be used with my rune crossbow, and because I do not boss fights I can not get a crossbow that will work with my bolts.

I will not get chaotics, because they are not player made, and they devalue smithing. Every other crossbow which can fire my enchanted bolts is from a boss drop, and I refuse to make boss fighters rich while non combat skillers are left with no way to obtain a decent crossbow which can fire their enchanted bolts made for use with a rune crossbow.

Not everyone boss fights, not everyone wants their gear to come from boss drops, there are players who actually want to use their non combat skills to make their gear for slayer and quests. Hi.

The boss shouldn't have one hit kills-or very seldom one-hit kills...Like once every half an hour it can kill ONE PLAYER.

What it should feature-is a VERY VERY long fight, and insane rewards.

Think long fight as in Ruby Weapon from ff7, something like that. But have the common drops be incredible! One can wish.

@Alpha Trion:

You only need to survive the 50K hit to get INTO the boss fight. Or at least that's how the BTS video made it seem. There are defensive abilities to avoid/absorb damage.


@Transcendent:
Like I said before, if you choose to play that way, you need to deal with the consequences. JaGeX doesn't need to cater to the people who don't like to play the game the traditional way.
