An actual EP system would be good in conjunction with 'Higher level wild = better chance of a decent loot' Or even specific hotzones in both Single/Multi where you have higher chance of obtaining the below?

The potential loot could be fragments of the ancient PVP armour/weapons (or something along the lines of that) which you collect piece together and use, eventually crumbling into dust after x amount of time. You can get fragments of both corrupt and non corrupt armour

Furthermore.. Brawling Gloves would be a good addition to this drop table as we have various places to use them in the wilderness now due to the wilderness rejuvenation update. Maybe making them 2x experience in the wild compared to 4x would appeal to skillers who are against them.

Just a thought..

Gonna vote no to all because I don't need any of them. Now re-poll arcane/spectral/elysian with separate questions for each shield rather them all as a whole. Because it's very unclear. I think a lot of people wouldn't mind arcane/spectral but elysian is just as overpowered as the divine was. Currently they can't vote yes for two of them but no to the other. Such a small effort.

I'm going to respond to the main feedback I've seen on this thread so far.

Cosmetic upgrades

I'm seeing a fair few players saying they do not like the idea of items having cosmetic upgrades and creating two of the same item with different appearances. As much as I can understand that sentiment, it does confuse me a touch as we have ornament kits in game that do, essentially, the same thing. It is a little less drastic with ornament kits so perhaps that is where the difference is.

Hardened granite maul

I've seen some people asking for the hardened granite maul as a weapon with a defence requirement and this is an idea that I'm certainly up for. As it stands, the granite maul regularly one-hits pures... We could do without making it any easier.

As for the granite maul special attack bug fix that happened a while back, there is no way to make the maul any faster than it currently is without making it unpredictable and glitchy. We want to keep it consistent and will be leaving it how it is.

Brawling gloves

Brawling gloves have had a hard time from the community since day 1. I wouldn't expect to seem them in a Bounty Hunter poll at any point.

Teleport to target

No, it would not be possible to use the teleport to target spell to get mass experience/profit. We can limit it to one use per target.

I have seen a few players saying that it could create situations where players unexpectedly end up in multi-combat and, yes, that is the intended risk when using the spell. If you want to have the big benefit of teleporting directly to your target then you should have to deal with the risk that accompanies it.

PvP armours

They have failed numerous times, I would not expect them to be polled again.

Why not add a new special attack weapon for range?

If you can suggest a quality, balanced special attack then we will certainly consider it. @JagexRonan

Magic suggestion :

Occult necklace (i) (imbued by using Magic shards on Occult necklace)
Adds +10 % magic damage bonus (from 10% to 20%).
It would last 10000 spells that you have casted and once its depleted the amulet crumbles to dust completely with the shards.
It should also have a new look that Mod Alfred has desined.

Magic has no potions that can boost the damage of it, Melee and Range can already hit over 50s so I dont thing there would be any problem with Ice barrage hitting 40s with maximum Mage damage bonus.

I'm collecting Emblems because I'm PKing. I'm PKing because I want to make money and get some epic KO's.

With that said, why are there so many crap rewards? I've only liked two that's been polled so far and that's the Saradomin Tear and the ranging ring, both have failed and we're left with ****** cosmetic rewards that make no difference to the use of the weapons and in-turn are useless for PKer's.

Then we have all the alchable items, which from what Mod Reach has said on Twitter, they'll be all removed Thursday. So, we're back to square one with no rewards that improve or makes sense for a PKer to want to own or buy as a reward and just ends up stockpiling points in the store.

I've seen 100's of suggestions that make sense for PKer's such as enchantments, add-ons, new special attack ideas, etc. Yet none of these are polled, why?

Why is the poll limited to 2-3 rewards? The reward shop was meant to be filled to the brim with rewards, yet we only have a couple (most are the same with different colours and teleport locations). And once the alchable items are gone it's going to be bare and pointless to even try to get Emblems.

Why can't you poll all the suggestions made that can be done and aren't that game breaking, see where the community goes with the ideas, why can't you re-poll things like Brawler Gloves with nerfs to them and changes, etc? Rework PvP Armour so they aren't OP, give them a huge price tag and slap them on a poll.

Do something, because currently the shop rewards are a shambles and it looks like it won't be improving any time soon.

Mod Ronan , too much cosmetic rewards are not healthy. There are tons now since the introduction of elite clues. We do not need more. Please, the bounty hunter is turning into joke. We need good rewards as in , for 30-50m+ points.
-Zaros' rage (Amulet) gives 12 str 5 stab /slash/crush (only attack) 3 prayer. Cost 50m points.


AND we need a gambling shop!
To gamble should use 100k points and drop table could be like :

- 3 Ranarr weeds
- 20 sharks
- Adamant med helm
- Bronze dagger
- Beer glass
- Rune longsword
- 10 white berries
- 100 rune arrows
- Varrock Newspaper
- 5k coins
- 5 noted super str
- 5 noted super att
- 10 noted super def
- 100 Adamant arrows
- 50 steel bars

- 25 noted super combat (1/98)
- Dragon chain body (ultra rare 1/2000)

- Zaros' Rage (amulet) gives 12 str bonus 3 prayer bonus 5 attack bonus (1/1500)

* if added it should normally be in store and also be available for gamble.
** To statistically get one you need to spend 1billion BH points. That's 200m in high alchable items from BH store. Just sayin.

Whatever you do, don't add any more alchable/abusable items, stick to new attachments and cosmetics, it's clear that the pking community can't be trusted and will abuse anything. playing rs since 1976, 40 year vet cape soon
