Great ideas!

Burying bones in the lava dragons area for 4x experience sounds awesome, it would definitly get some wilderness attention too. I imagine some higher lvl PVMers training there for prayer exp and drops (Probably in groups 1-3) and they might even stand a chance against a small team of pkers, it would definitly be an interesting wilderness area.

I also like the lava book idea, it would be a lvl 70 magic item and could give some kind of magic bonus affiliated with fire spells, infinite fire runes and maybe some kind of magic boost also? I like this idea alot, this item could be a very rare drop similiar to the visage... or not.

Original ideas from Exot, I also like the staff idea.

I support these ideas.

For those of you who are worried that the new shields are a bit OP, what stats would you like to see on them?
Reduce the magic defence to +20/15 instead of +32/+20 and +8 attack bonus instead of +12. Give them a slight defence bonus to melee for the range shield (+15-20) and range for the magic shield (+10-15) to make up for the reductions.

Could you guys change the alch value on clue scrolls and caskets to save over a spade and sextant? Being able to do treasure trails without being attacked by a troll will be nearly impossible with this update. Even though its obvious that you are carrying no wealth there are some mental midgets in this community who love nothing more than causing frustration for some cheap lulz.

Hey guys,

We've made some changes to the dev blog based on your feedback.

A reduction in the magic defence for the ranged and mage shields. If lava dragons bones are buried on the Lava Dragon Isle, you will get three times the XP. The cost and effectiveness of the new staff has been altered. A question about revenants has also been added.

About the staff, does it work in pvp minigames? As for example castle wars. If not, can this be changed? I'm not asking for it to work in the wildy and/or pvp worlds.
Nice work on the shields however, but I still think the mage defence on the range shield is quite high, 24 is a lot higher than the 10 of a dfs or the 15 of a mage's book. I think 20 would seem more than reasonable.

Mat can we get some way to note these new resources? Not many people are going to go fish the new fish etc if they have to bank every 28 (or 54) items. Banks are way too far from the wild. Most of these resources will be dead content on release simply because of how far away banks are.

Rune ore is fine because it takes a while to mine and it's about 12k each

Also how is the resource area going to work? you didn't say anything about the items there being noted but again the same problem arises, noone will go here simply because banks are too far away. Skillers would just chop magics/yews or fish sharks/lobsters in seers area which is like 10 steps from a bank rather than go here where you have to pay & you'll have to take a good few minutes to bank each invent. Even more so when you consider there's a risk in the wild but none in seers.

The staff is still too expensive to charge and still does very weak damage, I can't even see a reason to use it other than in PvP for a quick switch magic attack, that's if it is even allowed in PvP. Give it a big buff closer to how the Polypore Staff was Pre-EoC and see peoples reactions, and if they think it would be too powerful for PvP, then disable its spell in the Wilderness and PvP worlds, but allow it for safe PvP like Castle Wars. I'd remove the death rune from the cost to charge it, and leave it costing 1 chaos and 5 fires to see how people react, myself would be in favor of that and the damage I'd raise to about 35 if you have 99 magic, and about 25 with 75 magic.

The change to +24 mage def on range shield is better. But +12 range att is far too much, the Chaotic Eagle Eye Kite was only +4 before eoc. It will undermine the zamorak book completely, everyone will just use these range/mage obby shields and rune defender. Gf everyone who spent 2-2.5m on zam book.

The zamorak book is still a good item, esp for pures... It also has prayer bonus which the shield doesn't.
