@OP

Is charm collecting something you really enjoyed? Because that's what the Arceuus spellbook revamp didn't have.

I did not, actually. I found it to be both tedious and unnecessary. In fact, it was the one thing I didn't like about the skill which is why it is not present in my version.

Okay, could you list out everything you liked in it? I thought it was unique how summoning required money but also wasn't a buyable due to charms. That's one thing I really liked. I'll try to help find something that'd pass the polls.

That's hard. I think I just really liked summoning the familiars that would help me out, I liked having a companion(that wouldn't just stand there while I got my ass whooped), it was like I had a true partner and of course, the pets that came with it were nice too.

I felt having the skill being item-based was holding it back and made it very aggravating to train. Gathering charms was a slow process and the fact that these required items were untradable and not guaranteed to drop, made training the skill a miserable slog that was really unneeded.

I like the skill itself but I wasn't the biggest fan of the required training method. I think the worst part about the charms is that it didn't have anything to do with summoning. Like, shouldn't the actual summoning be what levels me up? Burying bones for prayer? That makes sense, your foe deserves a proper burial and that requires praying. Making items that Summon creatures out of these random trinkets that I get only by slaughtering innocent people and creatures to further your ability to Summon creatures? Yeah, not really.

This is the first one and with the most votes I found, so I'll assume that this was the one from the livestream. It has 74% approval basically, so it invalidates the JMods' straw poll which helps your cause significantly.

That's very interesting and gives em the most amount of hope I've ever had so far.

Apart from the fact that Oldschool is from 2004 - 2007, & summoning wasn't released till 2008.

And gorillas were released well after 2007. That's not why this wasn't a good idea. The thing is that summoning is extremely hard to rehash and balance properly, especially with pets around.

I wouldn't bother with that guy. I've already had an exchange with him where he revealed that he honestly believes D claws are original content and not content from 2008.

Fen and I get along quite well. When it comes to Dragon Claws, they did something with that weapon. It's nowhere near as broken on OSRS. I don't think it's just turmoil, ovls, etc. They must've nerfed the accuracy overall too. The AGS is slower but more accurate but claws are quicker and less accurate. The damage caps are similar though. I like it this way. Also, I personally love fighting Demonic Gorillas and do so off task. I really loved the concept but didn't like Pre-EoC as a whole. Add my main "Hi Im Swole" in game :D you seem chill Stop luring PKers outside the wilderness, it's unfair.

I honestly don't even remember what the Terrorbird did, but I'll do everything in my power to keep it that way so we can enjoy Summoning without any of the bumps that came with it.

It was that BoB that held 12 spaces and had a run recharge scroll. Made with gold charms and easy to make so it'd devalue agility big time without a doubt. Stop luring PKers outside the wilderness, it's unfair.

Bump even though I hate summoning because I like your compromise. Well, actually I don't particularly "like" it but I don't have anything against it so yeah. Stop luring PKers outside the wilderness, it's unfair.
