I feel there is no logic behind not being able to boost for the Thermonuclear Smoke Devil Western Provinces elite Task, since you do not require a task to kill it. Why is it not boostable from 88, like Hydras are boostable from 90? If you needed to have a task in order to kill it for the diary it would make sense. I get that you do not want people to kill it off-task and I am not implying this. However, if you don't require a task assigned to kill it, why is it not boostable?
You can boost from 86 with a Hellhounds task for Cerberus. With Kraken u cannot boost to 87, but that requires a task. Therefore, I am really confused about this logic here with the W P elite task. :P Road to max ongoing!

Hello, just a quick idea I had while killing Fire Giants that might help spice up the Standard combat spellbook: more expensive, secondary combat spells with extra effects that are aligned with the standard elements.

Air's secondary spell type would be Lightning, which would have the secondary effect of stopping the target's current move order in PvP, or binding the target for one game tick in PvM.
Lightning spells (Lightning Strike, Bolt, Blast, etc.) are aligned with the Air element and require a modification of Fire spells' rune costs to cast, owing to their weak effect: replace all Fire runes in a Fire spell's cost with Body runes. They deal equivalent damage to the Earth spells of that tier (so Lightning Strike would deal 6 damage).

Water would have Steam spells, which deal 8/4/5/6/6 extra damage as a DoT effect over multiple ticks. This damage does not accrue XP and does not stack, so they're not as good for training Magic, and better for just adding a little extra damage. Steam spells deal damage equivalent to the Air spell of their tier (making them slightly better than Fire spells, but only assuming you get the full value of the DoT) and require a Magic level near the Fire spells to cast. They would require the standard cost of a Water spell, plus a number of Fire runes equal to the required Water runes.

Earth would have Kinetic spells, which are equal to an Earth spell, but roll against Ranged defense. They require Body/Soul runes to cast instead of Earth runes. This could be used to help fight other mages, but it would be useless against melee-oriented opponents.

Fire would have Midas spells, which require a few Nature runes to cast along with the standard Fire cost, and cause an enemy killed by Midas to drop some amount of gold. Midas Strike could cost Body runes to encourage new players to use it. They are otherwise equal to Fire spells in every way except required Magic level.

Thanks for reading!

A suggestion I would like to make is to extend the Duly Noted reward from the Slayer reward shop, which notes mithril bars from drops while on task. Currently this only applies to Mithril Dragons when killing them on task. Maybe giving players to ability to note the bars of Dragons up to Mithril would make Iron and Steel Dragons less frustating, since picking up 5 bars each kill is very unrealistic and inefficient.

I would suggest increasing the cost of the reward if this is the case or creating a separate reward option for just bronze-iron-steel dragons.

Cheers! Road to max ongoing!

I would love to see the addition of a “rapid grow” spell (maybe two) that would require both a high magic level and a high farming level. Perhaps one that would allow you to advance one status cycle at 85 magic and 85 farming, and one that would allow you to advance 2 at something like 94 magic and 99 farming. It would be really nice for some of the longer farming contracts when yoj are already doing them more for the seed packs or pet farming then farming xp and would also be good to speed up some quest components RexMouser

I have a quick and easy suggestion for the Grand Exchange price changing feature. Currently in order to change the price on an item that is not selling, you have to click the exchange box to cancel it, then retrieve your item or gold to then re-value the item for sale more or less. Instead why not ad an up and down arrow that allows for you to have control of the price on an item without having to cancel the transaction and go through a tedious amount of steps. :) -Tanks

I think it would be cool if we had the option to alter the xp drop to show us what we hit on a target instead of the actual experience we gain from it hitting whatever we hit on a target.

Just to try and clarify this even furthur, for example I hit a 10 on an opponent instead of seeing it as an xp drop of 40 we could see it for a 10, am not proposing that we nerf the xp drop, just to give us the option to change the visual display of the xp drop whilst we gain the true amount of xp we'd normally get in our combat xp tracker in our skill menu.

Would be a nice little buff to PvP, and I'm convinced that many PKers would find this a nice update.

My honest opinion I think league should be a permanent change to oldschool runescape because I think it is such a pain to grind skills for months when you don't get enough time to play to begin with its just really a hassle i think league is easier and more enjoyable
