Strongly support, my original post was on page 48.

I don't know how much JMods read these posts... but I think there is a way to stop any one or two shield being so much more expensive than the other ones. You could create two or three tiers of shields - one low, one mid, one high - for all 3 combat styles, for a total of 9 different possible shields. However, to go from a low level shield to a mid level shield, you would need to add a mid level sigil to a low level shield. Same mechanics for the high level one. All sigil types and levels would have similar rarities.

Just an additional thought, I just want Corp to be worth killing! :D

While removing the damage reducing features of divine/ely in PvP situations would be a great start (note: I don't want overpowered divine tanking noobs in castlewars/clanwars either), divine makes bosses (particularly godwars bosses) a lot easier. Which is why I think instead of removing the effect from PvP, you should just reduce the effect as a whole.

With divine there is really 3 areas (or a combination of) that you could choose from.
1. Reducing the chance of the effect working (atm 100%).
2. Reduce the amount of damage that is reduced (atm 30%).
3. Drain more prayer when damage is reduced (atm 50% of 'soaked' damage).

Something that I keep coming back to in trying to propose something for a reduced effect for divine is that I really don't want it working 100% of the time and the amount of prayer it reduces is very insignifigant.

I would suggest changing divine to work 75% of the time and draining the full 'soaked' damage from prayer (instead of half of it).

Before:
Hit a '40' on divine -> does 28 damage -> reduces prayer by 6. (100% of the time)

After:
Hit a '40' on divine -> does 28 damage -> reduces prayer by 12. (75% of the time)

To balance Elysian, reduce the effect to work only 60% of the time, due to it not having the same prayer draining effect as Divine.

IMO this is being very generous with the effects of the shield, it would still be extremely hard to fight someone in wild in identical gear (except with one having divine) and win. Therefore the shields are not devalued, they are still the best shields in-game from damage reducing perspective and they are no longer so very much overpowered.

Very much looking forward to corp as GWD takes a while to get to where as corp always used to be quick and fun but still a challenge.


As a quest would require a lot of dev time I think you should do a mini quest to unlock the Corperal Beast

150 Quest Point Req

No combat req

- Drop Sigils as before, Spirit shields weren't overpowered as they didn't increase damage and Divine's 30% used to cost prayer points.

- Drop Table including drops like:
5-15 Seeds of ranarr / snap / dwarf / lanta / Kwuarm
2000 Cannonballs
100 White Berries
500 Nature/Cosmic/Laws Runes
200 planks of Teak/Mahogany

Items that Bots make money from the shortage of should be added to the drops

Being a traditionalist I don't think the Corp Beast should be introduced without the quests, or a combined quest. Without the quests it's just another high level monster which in reality doesn't even need to be in the wildy, you can put it anywhere.

If it is introduced I would like to see all the original spirit shields as drops with their original stats as I wouldn't be impressed with watered down items at all.

Ty for all the work the old school jmods have done, but I think you should definitely reintroduce the quests eventually, even if it means introducing summoning (another whole can of squirmy things).
