There are 2 main points I'd like to have addressed about this.

1: Will the Ruby Bolts (e) Special only hit a maximum of 100 damage like before?

2: Are all items lost on death like it was pre eoc?


In addition:
Place a cave in the wilderness that is based on a decaying and abandoned underground civilization the pre-dates the god wars, add a mini quest where players have to discover the fate of the towns occupants and recover a stolen relic from the ruins deep beneath the ground. The quest ends with the discovery of the beast and the relic recovered and a daunting escape through the ruins being pursued by the beast.
Following this players can now enter the beasts lair and kill it with their teams.

Minimum quest point requirement: 100+
Combat level requirement: 100+

I think for those who wouldn't be able to meet certain requirements for entry, an entrance fee set in place could help, so anyone could enter and be able to participate. Maybe a 500k fee set at every 24 hours would suffice, and would be a good money sink.

I also believe that some of the higher tier equipment and weapons should be soul bound to whoever received them as drops. All spirit shields should remain the same with a condition that they're untradable. A tradable version of the spirit shields could be made by dismantling them and leaving them unusable until the buyer combines them with a Holy elixir which could only be found in general stores with a price of 10 million gp.

100% agree with Joy. no nerf to the original shields.


I love you :)

Post 8-1: Feel free to add or discuss my ideas? I really feel strong about them and have been wanting to voice them for a very long time now. I've included everything that Dan has asked for.

-A crush weapon (dragon/draconic warhammer.)
-A opinion on nerf (not necessary)
-Cute pets galore! (Beast and Core pets to the drop tables!)
-Idea for Elite/Veteran PvM to progress the game (it all begins with the Corp!)
-New offhand (prayer) item that supports official in-game tanking!

Multiple posts is against the rules. So all I can advice is, go check it out! I will not re-post the full suggestion, however. Good luck everyone! I am looking at every ones feedback and having a great start to my day. HYPE!!!

I originally posted this on the 2007scape Reddit sub:

First off, no slayer requirement. While I'm all for slayer bosses, I don't think Corp should be one as it was unique in that it was, essentially, a quest boss that could be revisited and hunted.

I would like to see a QP requirement, if anything then purely because as it derived from a quest, there should still be some link to questing. Personally, I think you could include Summer as an NPC found in her original wilderness location in the Ruins. When you talk to her, she claims that her spirit cannot rest while the Beast roams free. You offer to help rid the spirit and she teleports you to the realm. This means that while not a quest, there is still some logic in the Corp's existence.

I really think the only way this boss will be rewarding is with the spirit shields. Perhaps poll a nerf on the Divine, or increase its rarity but keep its original bonuses. Another suggestion could be to introduce a Dragon Warhammer as a drop, although as Dragon weaponry isn't typically OP, I don't think this would be as good as Spirit Shields.

150 QP minimum - just from doing necessary quests such as lost city, monkey madness etc a player can have around 100 QP, whilst 200 seems a lot for people who don't enjoy questing (myself being one of them), 150 seems a fair amount.

110+ combat would also be good.

As for the shields, I don't think they should be nerfed, if you're going to add them add them in with their proper stats but make them rare. The higher shields will be considerably rare (I hope), so whilst the best ones might be a bit "overpowered", you won't see many people risking them in the wilderness.

I also think a dragon warhammer would be a lovely drop too. I agree dragon weaponry isn't the top tier anymore, but if you added a nice special attack it could be extremely sought after. When I think warhammer what comes to mind is a strong and powerful weapon, but the Dbaxe already has a strength spec, maybe the warhammer drains all your prayer points but boosts your attack and strength.

#1 Is a great question. I believe this damage cap is necessary. As for #2, I sure hope so! What is a challenge without a challenge? :P

Original message details are unavailable.


At present, the Corp will feature exactly the same mechanics as it did in 2008/9. Any melee weapon that isn't within the Spear category will have any damage reduced by 50%.
Ruby bolts specials will be capped at 50 - 100 as before.
Boss mechanics remain 99% the same. The only amendment I've made is the removal of the Beasts familiar devouring as we do not have Summoning or familiars.

I have no intention of changing any of these but would be willing based on feedback. However, I'd like to reserve new mechanics and introducing new techniques for a completely new boss.

Honestly i would not like this implemented at all, due to the fact they will probably end up being over powered.


This account has a total level of 184. Would not be able to vote in the polling system as it currently is.

Just like I thought, when OSRS was first released, that it slowly would crawl its way back up to what RS had been before OSRS. Yeah, sure, release Corporeal Beast.. Don't add any requirements, make it level 50! Why not? make spirit shields a 100% drop! Let's ruin the game all over again. Next discussion is probably going to be about HD graphics, combat update and so on...


This account has a total level of 513, with 13.8mil xp. 13mil of that xp is in 99 fletching.

Gf OSRS, R.I.P..

It was good while it lasted...


This is the only 'naysayer' who actually has an account that may be affected by the Corp. He has 1.5k total and 38mil xp.


But, only 1 out of 5 of these complete naysayers would be able to access the Corp, or even plays enough to be affected by the corp. PLEASE can we start thinking about changing voting requirements? If this doesn't prove that there's a number of low level accounts that vote no to everything, even though they obviously aren't avid OSRS players, I don't know what will.

can we have a spear that doesnt train only defence? :p

also 200+ qp will mean more incentive to actually do quests and keep the drops nice n pricey, even a combat requirement or high lvl quest would help by making corp "engame" and keep old bosses from becoming dead content.

@Rawrylol; THANKS!! Another smart player. 75% Is just unfair. They had it better in the hol...ok, I wont finish the line. Seriously 75% needed? A majority of the vote is absolutely fair, 60-65% in my opinion.

We've denied 70% or more of the community now on several updates. A good portion of which are being demanded back on the suggestion threads and still talked about today. Please, for real, Gee Willikers, Golly Gee.
