For people saying the wand should be a level 75 weapon since there are no one handed magic weapons for the 75 slot...
There are no one handed melee weapons or one handed range weapons for the level 75 slot either. If they made a level 75 mage weapon it would make it more unbalanced than it is right now unless they had plans to release melee/range versions.

if they really want to stir up the wilderness why not make it more powerful than virtus wand. not only would it carry a huge price tag, but it will cause alot more mayhem,chaos, and backstabbing, and alot of people would be heading there as the it would be the best wand in the game.

the only thing is how would the people who go bossing react to this? surely if it were more powerful the price of virtus may go down

i guess other people might see it as unfair if you dont pvp so maybe this isnt such a good idea after all.

would like feedback on this but prefer it without flame if at all possible.

edit:
on second thought maybe lv 70 is good so those players have something else besides ahrims wand and the price of ahrims wand might not be as high anymore

The level 70 wand sounds pretty nice, though I'll probably have to wait until it's within a reasonable price range on the GE. I'm hoping people will at least let me get some xp before killing, but I know that a lot of PKers don't really care if you're carrying anything and just kill on sight.

@Those saying the wand should be higher-level
Personally, I'm glad it's even 70+. Right now, there's only 2 70+ wands (Ahrim's and Virtus, unless I've missed one that was added) and both have been in high demand, causing Ahrim's to be ridiculously expensive (it's over 100x more expensive than the equivalent staff; even considering how much newer it is, that's crazy). 75 might've been a bit better, but I think 90 is overkill for something you can only get in PvP conditions. Leave the degradable level 90 equipment for boss loot.

These look really fun! I've always been horrible in pvp, but I still enjoy it some and these look like an exciting addition to the wilderness. I think it'll definitely be dead content almost instantly, but I still can't wait to try them out.

Ummmm.. heard about the stats needed for vine whip? 75 attack/ 80 slayer.
In addition, its stats aren't really close to the stats a level 75 weapon would have.
Its 48 more damage and 516 more accuracy than a normal whip. Accuracy is decent. Its basically like korasis sword, high level requirement, but stats of a lower levelled weapon.

In addition, even if the vine whip were considered, there would still be no one handed ranged weapon.

So please, do some research before you start showing your attitude.


The level 70 wand was added to balance the level 70 weapons, since range has the karil pistol cbows and armadyl crossbow (while mage has ahrim book/wand).
Thats why there will most likely be no offhand equivalent of the new wand.

lame
plug in player has never worked for me so i never get to see the video
doesnt matter anyway, wilderness is a joke
why even go ?
to get killed for your gear by someone else?
try using the formats from other mmo games
want to fight someone ? then ask them to fight anywheres
pretty simple
then you can use the wilderness layout for something really new in this boring game
kinda dead game update who the heck even goes into the wildy anymore
