We have some really good bosses as of today, but they are all high level bosses. The latest wilderness update was a great addition in bosses that were both for really high level and medium level.

One thing we lack are bosses for low levels. Which boss is the first one you really do? Barrows. To do barrows you need ibans or high level magic for a trident, this does not qualify as a low level boss. Barrows is more a medium boss task. We got hill giant boss and the moss giant, great bosses but still not really that often you could fight them nor that low requirement.

I think what we need are lower leveled bosses that does not damage you all too much and can be done at a low level. 40 ranged without prayer should be possible to do bosses. Does not need to be a requirement to gather rare keys to do them, more like the barrow brothers. Just grind as much as you like.

A mage boss at level 40/50 that deals damage over time possibly one damage per tick where you could recoil it for quicker kills etc. Loot wise? Does not need to be great loot, but 200-300.000/hour would be quite decent for a low level, if you have maxed gear you could probably get 1m/h.

A small ranged boss that is weak to melee where you can do it repeatably.

They do not need to have some mechanic's at these levels, just drain your food so that your fishing and cooking actually is being rewarded in the end. Making sure you use 40 hitpoints as a bare minimum is something i think is a good idea.

Wouldn't take long time to make them either and would give our lowest of levels some feeling of accomplishment.

Its funny you think you are required to have the trident to do barrows. How do you think we did barrows before the trident was added? Or before they upgraded Iban to carry more charges?

There are many bosses that you can do at lower level, although it will take you for ever and won't be profitable. To have an actual low level boss that drops ~250k/h for lower levels would result in way more than 1m for high lvl players unless you would add a crazy long respawn time to it or again restrict the amount you can kill in one hour by adding keys to it.
Maybe a Boss that has lvl/reward-scaling but isn't a raid would be an option?
The 40 hp idea I'm not really understanding, because that would be less than a whip max hit while wearing mid tier str gear. And I doubt that Jagex is silly enough to add a oneshottable boss. Or did you mean that the boss is supposed to do around 40 hp of dmg to you over the duration of the fight.

I'd love to see more content for lower level people, but I don't think this is of high priority. Low level content just gets outclassed too fast, because you won't stay at a low level for too long.

I always support expanding this area generally as you can't really have too much of this since everyone eventually will want to progress to the harder/more profitable bosses anyway.

In saying that I'd say there's already a decent assortment of low level bosses like the OG wildy bosses or even Chaos Fanatic and the Crazy Archaeologist.

Barrows as mentioned above is another example. There's plenty more that aren't just coming to mind atm.

I think further development of low level bosses should be targetted at F2p/doable with F2p gear types.

I completely agree here- F2P could really use more content and introducing lower level bosses would be a step in that direction. Introducing new mechanics to F2P such as prayer switching would prep players for their eventual transition to P2P bossing and Raids. It would also be great if F2P players could have a better means of earning a bit of coin as well!
